The ticket to be used in the election
next Tuesday will be found to be a
cumbersome affair, little over IL in.
by "a in. The candidates to be voted
for are arranged in four columns under
the respective party designations, Dem
ocratic Rooster, Republican Progress
sivel Bull Moose, Socialist Clasped-
Hands, and one blank column, in which
the elector may write the name of any
person whose name is not printed upon
the ballot. In addition to the four
party tickets, the seventeen amend
ments are printed. with appropriate
designations to vote for or against each
of them. just why these seventeen
amendments should appear four times
on the ticket it is hard to understand,
rs they have absolutely no connection
with either Of the party tickets.
In order to vote for the candidates of
the Democratic party it is only neces-
sary to stamp the rooster. but in the
case of the seventeen amendments
each one must be voted for separately,
and you must stamp in the square OPP
posite each to vote for or against, as
the case may be. Likewise the candi-
dates on the Progressive or Socialist
tickets can be voted for by simply
stamping the emblems at the head of
those tickets. bat in the case of the
constitutional amendments at the bot
tom of the ticket each of the seventeen
must be stamped separately and voted
for OF, against. or no vote as to the
amendments can be counted.
The Judicial amendments relating to
Grant parish will be found to be Nos.
10 and is on the ticket. We have urp,
ed some opposition to these two amend.
ments on account Of unjust complies.
tons in their formation, but they are
claimed to be for the best public inter.
est by persons competent to Judge, and,
like all the rest of the amendments are
most probably for the general good
AT least majority of our legislator,
thought so and voted for them. Fol
this reason We believe they should al
be approved and given trial.

amendments All Designed for Good.

Amendments All Desiyuco SoH Ooous
Within the past ten days the Chroni-
Gle has received fully ten urgent APP
peals to favor and support constitution
al amendments of interest to various
communities in different parts Of the
State. Several of the amendments
will be of undoubted benefit to the
State at large. while all the others
have peculiar interest to different COM
munities. The Alexandria Town Talk,
in commenting on the subject, says:
Each and every one of them are de-
signed to do some good work for the
particular community in which they
originated. and we believe they should
all be voted for" After sitting all
criticisms of the amendments, we be-
.ieve Town Talk has reached correct
conclusion on the subject which We can
safely adopt.

Its Up to the Farmers to Cut 1t Out.

The efforts of the Southern Cotton
Association to have law to enforce
the total elimination of cotton for 1915
appears to have come to nothing. Also
the meeting ut Alexandria last Mon
dag was lacking the interest in this
subject that was expected, and will
therefore prove of little avail toward
securing total elimination. 1t is now
up TO each farmer to cut cotton out on
his own hook. And that seems to be
the only sensible thing to do.

importance Of Good Roads.

MVOl t8uCC Va OOO0 A<Ooo1s
Postmaster General Burleson
takes a deep interest in road inn
provement and has accepted an
invitation to address the Fourth
American Road Congress. which
will be in session in Atlanta,
Georgia, during the week of No
vember 9.
The Postmaster General COM
menting on the subject, said:
While it is true that the public
road has always been of funda-
mental Importance as local util-
lily, it has assumed q much
broader significance within the
past few years. The rural de-
livery service, with its great
corps of AZ. 600 carriers. has done
much toward the development
of country life, and this vast
service is materially affected by
the condition of the public. The
parcel post has already justified
the most sanguine prophecies of
its original supporters. A COM
bination of parcel post and good
roads cannot fail to materially
advance the prosperity of the
country jewellers and at the same
time promote in a very marked
degree the welfare of the city
population. The automobile has
graduated from a merely pleasure
vehicle to a recognized utility.
and there are now well over a
million and a half automobiles
and auto trucks in the United
States.
Il feel therefore that the
American Road Congress in At
lanta will be dealing with a SUBJ
ject paramount in its Importance
to the American people, and |
trust that the men who are in a
position to forward the move
ment. for better roads will attend
this great annual meeting. The
impression seems to be quite
general that the way to further
the good roads movement is to
get more money and still more
money appropriated. While we
could no doubt spend larger sums
to advantage, our most pressing
need is to place the administra-
ton Of our present great outlay,
estimated at not less than $205,
600, 900, on a sound business
basis. We should apply to the
management of the public roads
the same sort Of common sense
that is applied in the manage.
ment of other business enter.
prises, or, in other words, we
should employ a sufficient mum.
Der of skilled, qualified men, pro-
vide them with necessary assist
ance and equipment. place a,
their disposal sufficient funds,
and hold them responsible fol
results. This would be vastly
better than our present system
of depending upon tens of thou
sands of road officials whose
knowledge of road building. il
, it exists at all. is incidental t.
some other occupation.

REVEALS REACH CLIMAX. SUNDAY LAST DAY
Three Rousng Services Will Months Meetings at Local
Tabernacle-Services This Week Have Stirred Enthusiasm
and Interest-Average Attendance 75O-400 Con-
verts Accept Christianity.

With the last day of the revivals-
Sunday-almost at hand, this week is
seeing the climax of the months spe-
cial services at the Tabernacle, and
in series of splendid services the in
terest and enthusiasm of the people of
Olympia is being directed even more
strongly toward appreciation of Chris
tians and Christian principles, and it
is expected that the last meeting of
the series next Sunday night will see
not only the largest attendance of the
month but will recapitulate the work
and enthusiasm of the entire series.
Nearly four hundred people, it is
estimated, have accepted Christianity
during the services to date and it is
expected that tonight and Sunday
night will see this number added to
materially. The average attendance
at the meetings to date is said be
$50, the attendance at none of the
meetings having fallen below 500, in
spite of the disturbing weather condi.
tions, for it has rained or threatened
to rain nearly every night. The high
general average of the attendance is

these adverse weather conditions.
Next Sunday, the closing day of the
revival, starts with morning service
for which the subject will be "The
Hearts Cry" continues with Pente.

noon, when the subject will be 1.-THE
Presence of God" and closes with an
evening service when the evangelist
will discuss "A Lost Opportunity"
Last Sunday the $500 still lacking
on the guarantee of the local ex-
penses of the revivals was more than
made up in the morning and evening
collections, the audience in the morn
ing donating $576.61, so that all of the
local expenses have been provided for.
Next Sunday evening the collection

this last meeting will be their REIN

WOULD BASE PRICES
ON CREAM QUALITY
Graves Suggests Plan to Protect
State Dalrymen-Must I'm
prove Product.

Washington dairymen must improve
the quality of their product if they
are to meet the competition of New
Zealand butter, which is now being
shipped to Seattle in large quantities,
according to DR.. H. r. Graves, chief
of the livestock and dairy division of
the state agricultural commission, and
he adds by way of comment on the
report that the price of outter-fat haG
been reduced to meet this competition:
"If our farmers and cream pro-
ducers will take the trouble to take
proper care of their cream and de-
liver first-class article, which will
insure better quality of butter than
the New Zealand import, they will re-
ceive just as high price as they ever
received and perhaps just a little bit
more
The New Zealand butter is of good
quality, being inspected j that gov
ernment before it is exported. The
cut in the price of butter fattkhat
came in consequence of the confpeti-
tion, while to be regretted, DR..
Graves states. is probably due largely
to the TACT that large amounts of poor
cream are "unloaded" on the butter
manufacturers by soma unscrupulous
dalrymen.
1T is not good business to pay for
any commercial product more than it
is WORTH" DR.. Graves says, land
nothing but poor quality of butter
can be the result of low grade cream.
If our butter can be made superior in
quality to the New Zealand product
then taC consuming public will gladly
pay the difference Of 8 cents per
pound.
Il, for one, would like to see a plan
placed in operation for paying for
cream on quality basis. This, am
certain, will be the only system that
will insure means to protect our
cream producers"
The department of agriculture al.
ready has taken the proposal of buy.
ing cream on a quality basis up with
several butter men and a movement
in this direction may be taken soon.
