Fine as Harper's Monthly Magazine
is, it certainly does publish some of
the most footless improbable and sap
by stories to be found anywhere-and
that IS saying something A recent
example is phillips Furnis Man. >
one of those overdrawn and absurd
stories of child life now highly favor
ed In the course of the story 1.-The
furnis man. college undergraduate
in disguise, is described at dinner
as indulging in expert conversation
on what he thought of Treasure Is
land, and the skating at the Hippo
drome, and Sister Beatrice, and the
Philharmonic .all-Richard-Strau
evenings and the latest bride" rule,
and Wilson's defense policy, and the
mushrooms under glass which he was
eating at the moment, and Masefield's
poetry, and Baksts decorative
schemes"
This is large order. Anybody who
has had a college undergraduate for
a dinner companion will known from
this extract just how much "verisi-
Multitude" the Harper's latest insipid
story can boast.

A secret ballot is guaranteed the
voters of Idaho by Section l OF Ar
tide VI of the state constitution
which says: can absolutely secret
ballot is hereby guaranteed, and 1t
shall be the duty of the legislature to
enact such laws as shall carry this
section into effect"
What of the direct primary ballot?
Certainly one does not enjoy the Sc
cret ballot when he is required to
choose the ticket of one party or the
other.
