First one-cent Paper.

The first one-cent morning paper IN
America was the New York Morning
Post, which was founded in 1888, with
DR.. H. D. Shepard as editor and Hor-
ace Greeley as printer. Prior to that
by three years an evening paper called
The Cent, selling for that amount, had
had a brief existence in Philadelphia.
Greeley, who was born 10S years ago,
started his career as printer in
Poultney, Vt, in 1926. In 1881 he ar
rived in New York with $40 in his
pocket. but two years later he began
business OH his own account as printer
of the Morning Post. The following
year Greeley, in partnership with Jonas
Winchester, established the New York

TO ENFRANCHISE
ABSENT VOTER
LEGISLATURE MAY BE ASKED TO
TAKE ACTION AND PASS
VOTING LAW.
OTHER STATES HAVE LAWS
In Ohio Thirty Per Cent of Qualified
Voters Failed 30 Vote in 1910
New Census Necessary.
(By Denny Donovan.)

Columbus, O.-HIalf of the better
class of electors" living in cities. who
do not vote, are absent on election
day, while only 20 per cent of those
not voting in slum districts fail to
vote because they are out of the city.
These estimates are made in a bull
letin on the subject of absenting vot-
ing prepared by w. T. Donaldson, of
the state legislative reference bureau,
and made public.
No definite recommendation are
made in the bulletin, but it is prob
able that some law providing for alb
sent or postal voting will be presented
to the legislature at the next session.
1t would affect principally travelling
statesmen, students and railroad men.
Mr. Donaldson also declares surveys
conducted in Cincinnati and Columbus
show that more electors fail to vote
in slum districts than in weather. pre-
cincts, and that, consequently, COM
pulsory voting law would increase the
number of ''less desirable voters In
Ohio 80 per cent of the qualified voters
neglected to vote in 1910, he said.
From two of the Weather precincts
of Cincinnati, So per cent of those who
did not vote were absent from the city
on election day; only 25 per cent of
the non-voters in a slum district had
the ''out of the city, excuse. Figures
are much the same for Columbus.
Methods of enfranchising absentee
voters in states and counties where it
has been tried is "absenting voters, =
by which an elector casts his vote in
any precinct where he happens to be
on election day; postal voting, by
which he gets his ballot from the post
master, who mails it to the voter S
home county, and early voting by
which the voter who knows he will be
away on election day gets special per
mission to cast his vote before that
day in his own county. Kansas, Min
nesota, Nebraska and North Dakata
have such laws now. Missouri has
one applying only to the city and coun-
ty of St. Louis.

Ohio Now Has Quick Justice.

Quicker justice is coming every day

in large measure TO the judicial re-
form amendment 10 the constitution,
adopted in September, 1912. This
amendment gave the court of appeals
final jurisdiction in civil cases unless
constitutional question was involved.
1t has kept out of supreme court al
ready several hundred damage suits
that used to clcg the docket. Supreme
Court Clerk Frank Mexican said there
were 397 cases pending before the SUI
preme court May l, compared to 7S8
cases on May 1, 1913. within anoth-
er year." says Mexican, "the court will
be entirely caught up with its docket,
and then it will be possible to get a
case through the supreme court in
seven months or less"

adherence to any set program OF
legislation" adding that the senate
would adjourn shortly after July /. no

president desired the passage of trust
legislation. rural credits and the canal
tolls repeal he recognized that the

main in session all summer.

. Columbus Columbus adopted its
new city charter at an election in
which only one-third of the total num-
Der of voters took part. In 1888 bal
lots the charter had majority of
1,042.
The new city charter, with its many
important changes in municipal or
ganization, will not take effect until
Jan. 1, 1916, but the municipal cleo
tion next year is to be held under its
provisions. The charter is modelled
after the home rule provisions of the
constitution, eliminates ward council
men and makes a city council of seven
members elected at large.

PLAN MAPPED OUT.

Washington, May 6--Developments
in the Mexican situation yesterday
were divided between the diplomatic
and the military status.
The South American mediators con-
tinued their sessions throughout the
day and for the first time it became
authoritatively known from them that
they considered the whole range of
Mexican affairs as properly embraced
in their work. Their reply to Carranza
had made this clear, and while elinin-
ating him from the mediation for the
time being, it still left the door open
to him to come into the proceedings
later.
At the war department it became
clear that the status quo at Vera
Cruz would be maintained, with no
advance of the American forces un-
less tc repel attack. But it was
known that a definite course of &C
ton had been outlined in the event
of resumption Of hostilities at Vera
Cruz and the extension of the CAM
paign toward Mexico City. In that
will be in supreme command, with
General Funston directing the advance
beyond Vera Cruz and General Charles
J. Bailey of the coast artillery assum-
ing the command of the base at Vera
Cruz. This arrangement, however. is
wholly in the line of preparedness and
signifies no present purpose of being
put into operation. Congress after
considerable period of silence on
Mexico, again came into the situation.
In the senate, Senator Lippitt, Of
Rhode Island, introduced a'resolution
calling on President Wilson for in
formation as to published reports
that it was the administration purpose
to aid General Villa to secure the
presidency. During a brief, but spirit
ed discussion, Senator Lodge read
from London paper scathing de-
nunciation of Villa.
The Lippitt resolution went over
until to-day under the senate rules.

New Census Necessary.


Through what appears to be leg
islative blunder, the special censuses
taken by municipalities under the pro-
visions of the liquor license act may
have to be taken again before the be-
ginning of the license year, November
"a The license act says that the CEN
sus is to be taken in the year preced-
ing the license year, the evident pur-
pose being to prevent increases dur
ing the year in the number of saloons
after the number has been ascer-
tanned according to law. AS the act
has been drafted, however, it appears
that special census is good only for
one year. If the ruling is adhered to
many Ohio municipalities will be put
to the trouble of taking another census
at considerable expense or be content
with reduced number of saloons.
