Has Not Worked Ont.

While there is no questioning the
fact that if properly used there is
merit to the second choice feature
OF the primary election system, a
bill which has been introduced by
Representative Gunnar B. Bjornson
chairman Of the house committee on
elections, abolishing the feature and
providing more practical system
OF handling contests on state officers
should be earnestly considered by the
legislature.
The statewide primary law was
enacted at the special session of 1912
and is theoretically good thing, but
in practice it has not worked out as
was expected, comparatively few 81
the voters having availed themselves
of the privilege. On this ground
and on the further grounds that it
is confusing to the voters, it's repeal
is now proposed.
The difficulty and expense of con-
testing state office are almost pro-
hibitive under the present system. It
is necessary to count the ballots in
every county separately and the ex-
pense and difficulty in this are SO
great that there have been few con-
tests In the last election Henry
Rines, the defeated candidate for
state auditor, contested the nomina-
ton of State Auditor Preus, and both
candidates were put to great annoy
ance and expense without affecting
the result.
Under the plan proposed in the
new bill, recounting of the ballots
would all be done at one time, and at
the state capitol Provision is made
that wherever contest is instituted
on the nomination or election of a
state officer, or on the result of the
vote on a proposed constitutional
amendment, the judge before whom
the contest is brought shall issue an
order directing that all ballots per-
tanning to such contest be forthwith
transmitted to the secretary of state
by the county auditors. They are
to be sent by express, in sealed en-
velopes which the bill provides they
must be placed in after they are
counted. The contestant is required
to deposit with the secretary of state
enough money to pay transportation
expenses.
Similar provision is made for con-
tests involving several counties, as
where district judgeship is at is
sue. The loser in the contest is to
pay the expenses. :''..-
The bill also provides for the rota-
ton on the ballot Of the names of
candidates for non-partisan. offices.

Joliet, Ill.,, March 19.-The debt
which society owes to it's unfortu-
mates should be repaid by giving
them every possible opportunity to
learn to live under normal condi-
tions. This is. the theory of Miss
Grace Fuller, superintendent of wo-
men at the Illinois state peniten-
tiary at Joliet. Miss Fuller is, put
ting her theory into practice, and
with gratifying results. .s...
A group of white clad, smiling wo-
men stood today about their leaders
in a domestic science classroom.
They beat eggs, measured out sugar
and did other things all according
to recipes written on a blackboard
by one of them. Laughter and talk
came easily as they worked. =.
The women were prisoners at the
state penitentiary-but they were
transformed into new, happy per-
sons by the application of scheme
of revolutionizing prison methods. In
this work, Miss Fuller has the CO.
operation of Warden Allen.
Dress making, rug weaving and
other domestic activities are included
in the new rule of procedure for wo-
men in this institution. Everywhere
is noticeable a sense of contentment
and absence of restraint.
ut is to give these women, who
did not have adequate opportunities
before they came here, an opportu-
nifty to qualify for normal society
that. we are. doing this work. ex-
planned MissEFuller "Society should
feel that it has placed these women
here to help them, not to take its
revenge on them. This we are try
ing to do in giving them work which
will fit them, as they leave us, for
fine, effective living. Their lives
have in so many instances been bar
rem OF all interests before coming
here: We ought to supp that in
terest.'

NO INFORMATION YET
ABOUT MISSING MAN
Body Found In Amelia May be that of
Harold NJ. Bridwcil, of this
City

Up to a late hour last night the po-
lice had heard nothing of the missing
Harold NJ. Bridwell, who disappeared
from his home late in July.
The finding of the badly decom-
posed body of man in Amelia Coun-
ty. near Namozine Church. last sun
day morning, has aroused suspicion
that it might have been that of the
missing man. Up TO last night, how
ever, nothing definite had been dis
covered to warrant the assertion that
the body Is that of Bridwell.
BridweIl had been employed at Acca
as a machinist. He leaves behind him,
wherever he Is, his wife and two
small children. There seems to have
been no reason for his departure. He
left home the latter part of July,
while his wife was In Fredericksburg
attending family reunion. The fam
lily now lives at 1000 North Boulevard,
near Acca.
The body found in Amelia County
was discovered by a negro, who saw
number Of vuiture circulating. The
coroner of the county was notified and
an inquest held. Nothing developed
at the inquest upon which to work and
the body was given a decent buria,
within a rod of where it was found.
No one within a large radius OF the
place has been reported missing. and
the coroner and others believe the
man was murdered and carried to the
spot in an automobile.
officers of the county are looking
further into the case. while the police
of Richmond are trying to locate the
missing Bridwell.
