Reforms come automatically when
public sentiment has had time for de-
vebopment. People used to fight for
the regulation of abuses at the poll
ing places. This year the candidates
have started movement among
themselves which will eliminate the
card-passing nuisance that for years
has bored voters. And not a single
voice has been raised In defense of the
useless old practice. There may be
some violations of the agreement by
enthusiastic friends Of the candidates
but the passing OFFS card ought to do
more harm than good this year. since
the agreement has actually been en-
tered into. 1t may be hard on the
job printing offices.
