The new constitution Of the State Of
New York, drafted blythe Constitutional
Convention and now awaiting accept.
ance or rejection BY vote OF the people,
wipes out the huge blanket ballot which
has always been : feature Of United
States elections. Under the new con-
stitution, the Governor, the Lieut..
Governor. the Attorney. General and the
Comptroller are the only State officials
to be elected; and only their names ap-
pear on the ballot-paper. All the other
State officials, hitherto elected by the
people, will be appointed by the Cover
nor. The right of the State Senate to
confirm or reject the Governors appoint
ments is also taken away. II the con.
stitution is adopted, as is expected, the
Governor Of New York will become q
real executive, with large powers The
movement to limit the choice of the
people to the higher officials, at the same
time widening the powers of these OFF,
eials, which Is spreading throughout the
United States, is a significant develop.

TIDE EBss AND FLOWS.

The "short form ballot. that is likely
to be adopted in the state Of New York
as noted in this issue, shows how people
run to extremes. Because of POLITICAL
ills they prescribe and take medicines
that are worse than the disease. ii
/ A few years ago there was great fe.
volution against political boss rule, As
a disease, the political doctors said '4too
much party, too little people, "Re.
medy. all people ond no party" Result,
twice as many elections and blanket
ballot with hundred or more names
and perhaps couple Of columns Of con.
stitutional amendments for the intelli-
gent voter to mark up with five minutes
in which to do it.
The blanket ballot was legal method
of forcing each voter to mark intelligent.
ly his choice of some hundred of names
of candidates, ninety or more Of whom
were unknown to him. AS to results we
have had pretty much the same sort of
human beings elected to Office by thsan.
nual or semi.annual lotteries as wSdid
under the convention system.
Now the tide is flowing in the opposite
direction. Instead Of the people "choos-
ing" each and every state official, the
plan is to only elect the governor and let
him choose the other state officials, just
as the President does his cabinet.
Personally, this writer favors the short
ballot system. Let the governor have
officials of his own party to carry out his
ideas ana thus make him and his official
responsible. = Re-

FEED THE STARVING.

Travellers tell us that in Norway and
some other European countries that it
is 9 common sight to see in farm.
yard poles erected, on the top Of which
is fastened 4 sheaf OF grain. This grain
is provided for the birds who, remain
over winter.
A kind-hearted old Norwegian who
lives near the woods calls our attention
to the fact that this year while the
farmers have bounteous harvest that
the small wild animals like the squirrels
have almost nothing from which to gath
er their usual winter stores OF nuts
and fruits. The late frost Of last sum
mer destroyed the buds and flowers Of
all the trees and bushes and in conse.
quence there are 20 wild plums, acorns,
hazel nuts, and even the thorns and wild
rose bushes are bare.
Partridges. and grouse will, likethe
squirrels, run short of many sorts Of
food to which they have been accustom-
ed,as we'll IS many other birds that some
times winter here.
While we know that our farmers would
willingly spare to these wild but COM
panionable small creatures share of
their plenteous crops, yet in many cases
while the heart is willing the body,s
too busy, or for other reasons, forgets.
Half the charity and sympathy of the
world goes for nothing because it never
finds expression in act or word.
Let your sympathy for the animals
ana birds take the concrete form Of a
sheaf of grain on pole, or some grain
spread in box protected from the
weather but open to these little ones,
without whom the world would be a
dreary place.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

For many weeks and months this
weekly review Of the war has used al
most the same words in reference to the
opposing armies in northern France.
In all this time from three to four mill
lions Of men lay in holes dug in the
earth, in about equally divided armies,
shooting at each other with shot, shell
musketry and even hand grenades.
They have remained in this position
SO long that even military critics thought
that trench fighting was the last
thing in war and that properly construct
ed trenches combined with big guns and
large fighting force we're impregnable
Last week, Generals Joffre and French
started in to see if the German trenches
were or were not impregnable. The
time was opportune. The German army
was busy in many directions. While
the Germans and Austrisns we're slowly
beating back the Russian forces in the
east, still the Russians we're putting up
so obstinate resistance that no great
number of the Teutonic forces could be
spared to reinforce the army of the west.
Austria was trying to defend its borders
from both Italy and Serbia and Bulgaria
is still on the fence not certain which
side to jump.
After . week Of heavy cannonade, the
last fifty hours being perhaps. the heav-
lest artillery action Of history, the COM
bined French and English armies along
that long battle line rushed for the Ger
man trenches in their front and solved
the military question by taking a large
part of the first and second lines Of the
German trenches and at this writing
are reported as holding them in spite Of
heavy German counter attacks.
It il now settled that "trenches' are
not imprsgnable, provided the assault
ing party are prepared to pay the price.
That price will not be known until the
details are printed in the casualty lists.''
This. however, does not mean that
the German army 10 permanently de-
featsd; their losses in killed and wound.

ENTERS GROCERY STORES
Steals Several Hundred Dollars
Worth of Merchandise From
Different Places

After robbing several suburban
stores Of large amount Of mer.
ehandise during the past several
months, Ezekiel Jones. negro
burglar, was shot Monday night
by Policeman j. A. Morton at l..
w. Richardson's grocery store
near the Southern depot. AL.
though badly wounded, Jones
ran from the building and was
later found in a dying condition
in ditch two blocks away. He
was carried TO the Colum bus
Hospital, where he died a short
time later.
Large amounts of merchandise
have been missed from several
stores recently. especially at Mr..
Richardson's, and Policeman
Morton has been keeping watch
each night at that place of busi-
ness for the past three weeks.
Monday night Mr.. Morton went
to the Richardson building ac-
companied by Mr.. w. o. Hart

made his appearance. Hartsell
fired twice at the negro but both
of his shots went wild. After

dition that he was unable to 90

Jones is said to have robbed a
store at Cliftonville three years
ago, and when his remains were
prepared for burial Tuesday there
was found on his body scar
