fills it out according to his own ideas,
then places it in the smaller envelope,
which he puts in the return envelope,
addressed to the election commission.
On the back of this envelope he writes
his name, address and precinct. When
the envelope is returned the election
commission checks the name of the
voter off the list, and there can be no
repeating. On election day the ballots
are all opened and counted and the
results announced.
Among the advantages claimed for
the "Vote by MALI system are these:
1. Ballots, having been placed in
the hands Of the voter ten days before
election, could be carefully studied be-
fore being marked.
2. Long waits at the voting 5ooths
would be eliminated. ...... .:- .-
3. Wage earners would not be fore.
ed to lose time and pay on election
days.
4. Farmers would not be obliged to
travel miles to the voting places.
5. Voting would be made so easy
that the chronic stay-at-homes and in
dividuals could all have a voice in the
government, making it representative
of the whole people.
The idea looks good, and it ought
to appeal to the country generally, II
Milwaukee's experience with it proves
at all satisfactory. Under the present
conditions it is often with great loss
of time and at great inconvenience
that men exercise the privilege of vot-
ing The result is that the number
of ballots cast in an election are usual
ly much smaller than the number OF
men entitled to vote. This Is not as
it should be. Voting ought to be made
just as easy as possible. The farmer
| should not necessarily have to leave
his fields, or the mechanic his bench
nor should a man who happens to be
away at the time forfeit the privilege
of voting. If some such plan as thai
proposed in Milwaukee can be worked
out successfully it will save vas
amount of time and will greatly in
crease the number of votes cast il

TWO BROTHERS and
CONDUCTOR fight

Kentwood, La, Feb. 14.-Fred Vain

Wainwright, a brother, was probably
fatally wounded by George Swergen,
conductor, in a fight last night aboard
Kentwood & Eastern train near
Bolivar Swergen, who was also
wounded, alleged that dispute arose
over the payment of fares. Swergen
used a revolver while the Vain

was taken from the train at Bolivar
and it was reported he had only a
slight chance of recovery. Swergen's
injuries were so serious that the train

A PROPITIOUS TIME FOR
MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENTS
OF ALL KINDS.

The recent strong improvement in
the market for municipal securities
should be taken advantage of promptly
by Southern communities which are
contemplating the issuing of bonds for
public work. A vast amount of county,
city and municipal improvements of
every kind is needed in the South, for
which bonds must be issued. At the
present time there is better market
for such securities. and coincident
with this is surplus of labor avail
able, and manufacturers of machinery
and equipment are in position to fill
orders to better advantage that would
be possible If all business interests
were active. The condition, therefore,
is exceptionally favorable for the pros
ecution of public work.
Throughout all parts of the South
and Southwest roads are being built,
new streets made and old streets i'm
proved, sewerage systems and water
works are to be constructed or enlarg-
ed, and public buildings erected. While
it is desirable, and often important,
that public buildings should be ornate
and in keeping with the life of the
community, it is especially important
that they should be absolutely fire.
proof Every courthouse and every
city hall ought to be SO we'll construct
ed as to make thoroughly safe public
records OF all kinds. These things are
important. But the construction of
the most modern sewerage systems,
and of water-works to guarantee an
ample supply of pure water, and the
building of good roads and the paving
of streets and alleys are even more
important. These all take hold of the
essential things-the health of the
community. There is no greater econ
omic wastefulness than that which by
reason Of false economy prevents
municipalities from providing pure wa.
ter, the most sanitary sewerage sys-
tenn and well-paved streets and alleys,
which make possible city cleanliness.
Every illness and every. death brought
about by failure to do these things is
an economic loss due to the blunder-
Ing of incompetent officials, and this
without considering the sorrow and
suffering brought by the illness and
the deaths which better sanitary condi-
tons would have prevented The men

and misery point of view, delay the

Every growing town and city in the
South needs to improve and keep on
improving every day and every year
its provisions for sanitation and health.
These include all such things as wa
ter-works. sewerage systems and we'll

limitless. No wiser investment can

SIT TIGHT! DON'T ROCK THE
BOAT!

Sit tight! Don't rock the boat!
That's the watchword today. That's
the first duty Of every American at this
moment. That's what this country
needs to keep it straight and safe and true
to it's course absolutely all it needs.
Business conditions are sound. We
have one Of the greatest grain crops in
history. Its value has already greatly
advanced. We have sound financial
system, backed by the greatest store
of gold in the world. Our banks are
solid, safe. There is nothing the matter
with the United States.
War will mean an unprecedented
demand for supplies. Experts declare
American business will feel q great inn
petus. While other nations destroy,
this country will produce. While other
nations are armed camps, this country
will be farm, a factory, forge. Trade
extension is predicted in all directions.
The immediate future is plain.

AN APPRECIATION.

The Editors of New Ulm wish to
thank each and all of those who assisted
us in the work of receiving and enter
tanning the visiting editors last Saturday
and in upholding the reputation Of the
city for hospitality. There were so
many who helped that it is impossible
to name them individually but we must
mention the Commercial Club and the
business men who financed the banquet,
the committee who had the task Of
bringing the matter before the business
men and collecting the funds, the ladies
of the Turnverein who spent sweltering
day in the kitchen preparing the splendid
meal, all who donated flowers so generous
ly for decorations, the young girls who
gave their time to make the banquet
hall beautiful and who served the guests
with dizziness and grace, the owners Of
the "Alcantara" and of the automobiles,
without which we could have done little
for the guests pleasure, the Turnverein
Glasses and their teacher, Mr.. Helm
and the Second Regiment Band for the
evening entertainment and the speakers
Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Qttomeyer. And
last, and largest group of all, are those
who exerted themselves to attend thu
banquet and act as hosts on night SC
hot that it was an effort to go any where
or do any thing. It takes the co.
operation Of many to make such gather
! ing success and we editors are grateful
/ indeed, to all who assisted in any way,ste
bring about the pleasant success that wa.
attained.

Vreeland act, for an emergency. The
organization of the reserve board will
soon be complete. This will enable us
to deal more effectively with the outflow
of gold. Plans are perfecting to permit
American registry of foreign vessels.
This will protect and develop our
commerce.
We are preparing to maintain strict
neutrality. Questions may arise with
foreign nations as to what constitutes
contraband. Such questions cannot con-
ceivably involve us in difficulties. They
will be settled by the ordinary processes.
The general principles of neutrality and
neutral commerce are plain. The United
States will adhere vigorously to them.
Friendly intercourse, as far as circum-
stances permit, will be it's rule and its
procedure.
Stock exchanges have closed wise
precaution. This country cannot be the
dumping ground of the whole body Of
securities that war-mad Europe is anxious
to convert into money. The closing is
temporary. Elsewhere there is no pros
pect Of interference with the orderly
processes OF American business. Stable
conditions are here. All we have to do
is to keep them stable.
The administration has decided to
appeal officially to- the public to help
maintain existing satisfactory conditions.
The public cannot fail to respond. The
only danger is one which it may create
itself. Its course is simple. All it has to
do is to sit tight, to do nothing to disrupt
the fortunate condition in which this
country happily finds itself.
Don't rock the boat-that's the
central idea! The swell from the great
battleship, Europe" will be felt. But
it will not hurt us. It need not even
break over the sides. There's nothing
the matter with the boat that we are in.
Straight and strong, well-seamed, we'll
caulked, well-timbered, with reasonable
guidance it will bear us safely and
prosperously through.
Sit tight! Don't rock the boat! Keep
its head well up against the sea! !, Don't
let it get into the trough of the waves!
Let every man realize that at this
moment calm confidence and calm thank
fulness are the first duty. They are
absolutely justified by the favorable
situation in which we find ourselves.
They are the certain guarantee of a
continuance of those conditions. From

WILSON, THE MAN

It was shock to all Americans to
learn that Woodrow Wilson the presi-
dent of great nation, involved in heavy
cares of state, had also great personal
grief to bear. It was not until the last
moment that he let the people know,
when he could no longer keep the know
ledge hidden from them, that he was
standing in the shadow of death which
lowered over the one who had been all
in all to him, the one who was his truest
helper and friend, his well beloved wife.
Mrs. Wilson had for months been in
failing health and this must have been a
great anxiety to Wilson, the man, while
he must perforce apply himself to ques-
lions of state that were exceedingly diff
fcult. While he labored under the
double burden of personal sorrow and
public care, the newspapers and the citi-
zens of his country have been finding
fault with him because he did not do more
or less, or something different from what
he thought best. 1t is only now when we
can see and understand all that he had to
bear that we wonder how he could do all
that he did do and the hearts of theAmer-
lean people throb for his grief and in sym
pathy with the loss he bears. It is only
at such time that we realize that our
President is just one of us with the
same sorrows and trials. It is lesson
to all of us to Judge less, quickly, to with
hold sentence, to try to put ourselves in
the place of those whom we criticise.
