THRILLING TALES TOLD BY SEA
CRASH SURVIVORS
Norfolk, Va, Jan. 31.-How Thos.
R. Harrington of Bridgeport, Conn,
held his unconscious wife afioat for
an hour by clenching her clothing
between his teeth, is one of the thrill
ing tales told of the wreck of the
steamer Monroe, which took toll of
40 lives.
81 saw Harrington fighting against
the waters for more than an hour"
said W. C. Claussen Of Milwaukee,
when the Nantucket, the ship that
collided with the Monroe, locked
with the passengers she had rescued.
HE held his wife's body afoat and
I could not see how he managed to
keep up until the life boats came,
and then in the lantern light saw
that during all that hour of terrible
effort he had kept her head above
the water by his teeth. Every tooth
in his head was Jared loose from the
strain.
''The pathetic part of it was that
Mrs. Harrington died three minutes
after being taken aboard the Nan
tucket The strain and the exposure
had been too much for her"
None of the passengers who were
saved had anything with them ex-
cepting the night-clothing they wore
when the steamer went down. The
crash came in the middle of the night
tearing the ship almost in two, and
in less than ten minutes it had gone
to the bottom, silencing many of the
screams of women and the curses Of
men.

POLITICAL MACHINES
By A. w. Parke.

Recent developments in Arkansas
politics have produced demand for
changes in the state election laws,
which will insure that the will of the
people prevail. This demand will be
satisfied or there will be more clamor
in the next session of the Arkansas
legislature than is promised in the
coming state Democratic convention.
The people are sore and tired of ma
chine politics, and they believe the
time has come when votes must be
counted as they are cast. There Is
little doubt but that many counties OF
the state turned in count in the last
primary which will fall under a close
scrutiny-or at least, this is the opin-
ion of the multitude. The people are
most fair in all things, and want the
man who received the most votes to
have them counted for him.
The first step to rectify the obsolete
system of voting, which has been in
vogue in Arkansas since statehood
was granted it, will be bill which
will be offered in the next General
Assembly by Ben. L. Griffin, member
from Pulaski county, and one of the
strongest of Clarke supporters. Rep
resentative Griffin will introduce a
measure, which if passed, will put
voting machines in every precinct IN
the state. 1t is true that the cost the
first year will be stupendous, but the
first is the real cost, and the reduc-
ton in cost of primaries and elections
which come later will return the mon
ely in few years. He will offer bill
patterned after the New York law,
and if it is passed, it will be possible
for the result of all state elections to
be announced early on the night of the
election, and there will be no question
about the result. Accuracy in the
count, as well as the saving of time
and the lessening of cost of elections
are the three features which recon-

VINE STREET CROSSING

Attention is called to the crossing
on Vine Street where parts of the
street is taken up by switches of the
Iron Mountain Railroad This street
i not used a good deal by the public
at present. As Prescott grows older
however, it will be used and the pub
lie will need all Of the street. A con-
siderable portion Of the street, per-
haps ten or twelve feet is now used
by the railway company for switches
and park.
This makes the street very narrow
at the crossing Being narrow it is
more dangerous than it would other
wise be. The council should at once
look into this matter and take such
steps as are necessary to have the
railway company give possession of
the street. If nothing is done until
the Statutes of Limitations has run
out, it will be difficult to regain the
street.

mend the voting machine so strongly.
Accuracy in the count is what the
voters of Arkansas insist upon.
Voting machines are in the nature
: of booth, similar to those in use by
long distance telephone companies.
The machine has set of keys with a
| place for registering for each candi-
date. 1t is impossible to punch more
than once for any candidate, and it
is impossible to punch for more than
one in any race The vote is counted
as it is registered by paper strip,
something like that of a piano player.
AS the voter comes out, the inner
door locks the voting machine and reg
listers his vote. The voter coming in
the inner door-there being two to
the machine-opens it so that he may
register his vote The two doors keep
the officials back, and insures privacy
to the voter All the judges have to
do is to pass upon the qualifications
of the voter. There being no chance
for repeaters, the count of the ma
chine is absolutely accurate.
1t is suggested by Capt f. w.
Tucker, for years chairman of the
State Republican Central Committee,
that the plan go further and make it
possible for all other partits to have
primaries at the same time as the
Democrats, which can be done without
additional expense, and at the same
time. do away with machine politics
in Republican conventions. Capt.
Tucker also calls attention to the fact
that such an arrangement would pre-
vent the Republicans, Socialists, and
others, from participating in Demo
cratic primaries, condition now de-
plored by all parties.
There seems to be no opposition to
any of the suggestions now, but plen-
ty will accumulate before the legisla-
tive session is well under way, for the
machine political counties do not wish
change in their methods of doing
business.
