KEEPING ON ELECTIONS.

A New York newspaper, at the heart of the national betting ring, marks that much less betting has been done for a few years past than formerly. And this. in spite of the fact that the number of sports with big rolls increases year by year. 2
 It is a game at which amateurs are worsted. Their warm enthusiasm so co1ors- their Judgment that the odds offered by the talent look too much like a sure thing.
 All known methods of forecasting seem to go wrong nowadays. Each side always issues a staten ent in which it claims the biggest majority any party ever received. It Is about as valuable and sincere as 9. European war office news bulletin.
 Formerly. each political party sent around canvaSseEs who sorted, slated and labeled each citizen. Most of the people voted the way their fath- CTS used to. By testing out @. small section. and comparing them with your card cartalog. you had the re- suits by simple computation of per- centages.
 Somehow, people hate to be tagged nowadays. A leader of certain sec ton of voters says that canvassers do well to be very careful how they ap- proach his clement If these voters get the notion that some one is rying to swing them they resent 1t Quite likely they would thereby be Influence ed to vote just the other way. in order to demonstrate their own individ dual . ity and independence Many people dislike argument. and always refuse to state their political beliefs even in the most casual conversation.
 The modern election day is gam bling chance. The sports would bet ter take an option on the weather or. ba2ebaIl Politicians who make e1- traveEant claims hurt their own cause The one thing that loses most elections is the feeling of party sup porters that their side is sure to win, and that their one vote is not deeded.

 If the issue were solely a question between individuals as to which should be chosen to fill this office. the election of Judge Hailen would be overwhelming. But inasmuch as the election for this office falls on the same day with the choice of nunaer- ous other officials and the deterunina- tlon of other questions, the voter might thoughtlessly lose sight of this important matter of the choice of a probate judge, unless he happened to be voting the party ticket upon which Judge HaIlen'sl name appears. It is therefore the duty of every independ- ent voter and of other electors com ing to the polls on Tuesday. regard less of party, who have at heart the most efficient performance of the duties Of the probate office. to bear in nnindA the fact that Judge Hallen has proven his qualifications by the AAAo-H At5 eeSe A@1 S4414ASSSss

one of the most important duties resting upon the voters of this com paurity at the coming election win be the choieesof fudge of probate. Men will necessarily differ in the matter Of the selection of candidates for leg isiatfve offices. on account of the op- posing principles represented by the several party nominees. and will also disagree as to the naming Of executive officers. who are pledged to enforce certain defined party policies. But there ought to be one consideration only governing the action of the thoughtful citizen in the filling of the office of judge of probate. The. personal character and fitness of the. candidate alone ought to control. Po- lfticaI policies and principles ought to exercise no influence over the mind Of the elector in determining the question Of who shall serve the pub lie in the probate office.
 This is Judicial office, in the ex7 =ercise Of the functions of which, ev- cry member Of the probate district is peculiarly interested. The incum-i bent takes no part in the enactment of party policies or the execution of political doctrines. His sphere is alone to serve those whose property or personal interests are brought be- fore him for adjudication. It is not alone the wealthy, whose estates are. to pass through probate proceedings, that lare concerned in the choice of ia man to fill this office.
 Practically every. member of the community is more or less interested in the performance of the duties Of that office and must at some time or another appear before the pro bate tribunal for some purpose. Ev- cry estate left by a decedent. how ever small. must be probated and the title, passed on through the channels of the probate court If a child loses the protection of the parent. it's na- turai guardian, through death or Q fler unfortunate reason, the duty de- wolves on the probate judge Of se- lecting an honest and competent guardian If person meets with mental affliction and it becomes nee essary to have a conservator appoint ed to protect his estate, here again the integrity of the probate judge is called into action. If an incompetent Is to be committed to an asylum or g neglected child to public institution. the judge of probate must perform the unhappy duty of so doing and he should be a man who would exercise sound discretion and impartial judg- ment
 The qualities essential for the eff eient and honest performance of these various functions are admirably com bined in our present Judge Of Probate, the Hon. Edward F. I5allen. He has served two terms in that capacity and has demonstrated. beyond all ques- ton. his special fitness for that of flee.

I am rather attractive. very intelligent, and can converse with them on any subject they bring up, whereas some of my friends cannot. Now, please ell me what you think prevents them from calling? Do you think it is wrong for two young ladies to visit amusemept places by themselves? I have heard that if you want to meet the boys go to places of amusements ; but. again. I heard if you do go to these places without escort you are talked about. Please advise me how can meet some nice young men, and also how ! can get them to call

ASSOCIATION TO INCORPORATE
New Move Believed Advisable and
Proper Steps Will Be Taken at
Meeting to be Held in Future

At a we'll attended meeting of
those interested in the establishment
of a downtown baseball park, at the
Athletic club rooms last evening, it
was decided to ask subscriptions from
the business men of the city, in this
way securing enough money to fin
ance the erection of the park.
The board of control will have
charge of the soliciting and at a
meeting to be held in the near fu-
ture steps will be taken to purchase
the block in Heffron's addition which
has been selected for the park. The
land will be bought for 5000, with
the understanding that certain i'm
provements be made. The grading
and building of a fence and grand
stand will bring the amount up to
$4,000. The plan is that the money
obtained by subscription be returned
at the end of three years, with six
per cent interest.
Prospects Bright
Those in attendance at the meet
ing were enthusiastic over the propo-
stion and the possibilities of a new
athletic field never appeared more
bright.
The matter of incorporating the
club was discussed. Such action is
favored and steps in that direction
will be taken up at the next meeting.
Daily New Manager
Ralph Brandon's resignation as
manager of the baseball team was &C
cepted, and Charley Daily was
named. Mr.. Daily has had expert
ence in the management of baseball
teams and will be of much assistance
in making the season a success.
