yond conception that a purely mechan-
ical error of this character should ever
invalidate TIE electoral vote of state
where there SIS no doubt whatever as to
the will of the people.
The American election laws need re-
vision in the interest of precision. For
example, in some states members of
the National Guard, temporarily on duty
outside of the state, are not permitted
to vote for President, while in other
states provision has been made for them
to cast their ballots. In some of the
states voters can register by mall II
absent at the time of registration. In
other states, civilian voters may vote
by mail Certain states adopt liberal
policy in order to assure the fullest pos
sible expression of the public will, while
others throw many restrictions about the
ballot and thereby reduce the freedom
of the voter.
In the matter of counting the votes

process is slow. The adoption of the
Australian ballot has made this pro-
cedure difficult and time consuming, and
evidently there is no adequate provision
in the states for handling this heavy
task. The present election. so close that
a few hundred votes changed here and
there would have made complete re-
versal of result, amply demonstrates the
need of electoral reforms

of organization. In any case, however,
the six Independents will determine the
political organization of the House,
standing, as far as at present can be
ascertained, four of democratic inclina-
tions and two of republican. Should the
republicans get the two doubtful seats
and secure the adherence of two of the
independents they will have 218 votes
and the democrats, with four Of the in
dependents aligned, 217. In any case,
the party margin in the House will be
so small that every vote will be needed
on every important occasion to hold the
organization in line. Deaths and de-
fections may at any time cause lack
of control 1t is always to be borne in
mind. however, that the party that or
ganizes the House may increase its mar
gin by the decision of contested cases
in its favor.

The Supreme Court Gets the Case.

Judge Hooks decision in the case of
the eight hour law. rendered hurriedly
for declared purpose, will occupy lit
tie attention. The important considera-
tions in the premises relate TO the prob
able action of the United States Su-
preme Court when the ease reaches that
tribunal. and to what stand the Presi-
dent will take in his coming message to
Congress.
There is expectation in certain quar-
ters that the Supreme Court will imi-
tate Judge Hook and hurry matters. But
this is founded upon the fact that Janu
AIRY ! is mentioned as the day for
strike by the railroad brotherhoods if
the court meanwhile shall not have
handed down an opinion in the con
trovcrsy. There is no other warrant
for it.
What will the President say to Con
gress! His position is delicate. The
law in question was passed at his in
stance though it did not embody all of
the recommendations he had made. He
and Congress were operating under
duress, and botch resulted. The
brotherhOods. as they now declare, did
not get what they wanted he did not get
all he wanted, and the first judge to get
{: whack at what was handed out pro-
nounecs it unconstitutional. As it
stands. the whole thing is a mess
The President has said that the situa
tion to which he and Congress yielded
in this business at the recent session of
that body should not be permitted to
arise again. But it has arisen. Here it
is. The only difference is as to the
date. January | now is named. Tn
less the brotherhoods are satisfied in
their demands by that time the rail
road transportation of the country will
be paralyzed.
Such is the threat But does it seem
likely that such a threat in such cir
cumstances would be executed. Would
public sentiment sustain such action.
And with public sentiment eondemning
It. would not such action, if taken, go to
defeat'
Undoubtedly bad start was made in
this matter. The President allowed him
self to be hurried by the brotherhoods,
and Congress allowed itself to be hur-
ried by the President. Neither took the
Necessary time to think out the sub
jeet. Neither possessed the necessary
Information for such thought And so
tn" hurry has led to worry
This is the argument against further
bury. There is time now for investi-
~ation and reflection; and with the
President, and Congress. and the courts
oil in action in the interests of a solu-
tion OF the difficulty, what would JUS
tify such turbulence and disaster as
nationwide strike would inevitably pro-
due!

Jack London.

Jack London, whose death occurred
Yesterday in California, was a unique
figure in American literature. He was
an unusual character, tangental in dis
position, impatient under any conven-
tional restrictions, strongly inclined to
wander into the rough places of the
world. a lover of adventure and gifted
with a remarkable facility of construc-
ton and expression. He had written
many stories, of which "The Cab of the
Wild" was the first to strike general
public attention. 1t sounded a new note
in fiction, coming at a time of general
popular interest in natural history, un-
der the impulse of President Roose-
velt's writings and discussions with nat
uraIists. London's style was never fin
ished. but his stories had an unmistak-
able grip. He was remarkable in the
presentation of strong characters and
thrilling situations. He was indefati-
gable in his productions, and turned
out his stories at an amazing rate, too
rapidly, many have held, for perma
nence in the record of American letters.

New York as a Lure,

Mr. Hughes, it is reported. will re-
turn to the practice of law in New York
city. He prospered there at one time,
and. it is easy to believe. with his in
creased prestige will prosper again. He
has reputation now as both judge and
an advocate
1t was once a familiar. saying that
when fashionable Americans died they
went to Paris. Tie gay and beautiful
French capital gave them so much pleas
ure and was so much in their hearts. an
eternity there was supposed to be their
strongest desire: and they tried to live
so as to deserve the transfer.
New York seems to possess like
powerful charm for men who. after fig
uring prominently in national politics,
retire, or are retired and seek haven
of rest, or a field FOR new activity. Many
have gone there. Some have prospered
and become contented Others have
been disappointed. and then have left.
1t Is all sorts OF q town.
Forty years ago. Benjamin II. Bris-
tow. after success achieved as Secretary
of the Treasury and an unsuccessful at
tempt on his party's presidential nomi-
nation, moved to New York. opened a
law office and became a leader of the
bar. After his defeat in 1883 Mr.. Cleve-
land became a member of the New York
bar. and as resident of the big town
conducted his campaign for his third
nomination and second election.
After long and distinguished career
in politics John &. Carlisle became a
New York lawyer. and was followed in
few years by William Lindsay, who
had succeeded him in the Senate And
ing the Senate.
Two former Speakers of the House
Thomas B. Reed and David B. Hender-
son-took up residence in the metropolis
after quitting politics. but neither be
came contented Col. Henderson re-
turned to Iowa. and Mr.. Reed was con
templating change when his fatal
sickness seized him.
These are but few names The list
is long So big town, the home of so
much capital headquarters for so many
enterprises, and peopled by all sorts and
conditions of men, sheds light which
reaches far and attracts strongly. Mr..
Hughes will need no introduction. New
York was good to him in the days of
his modest beginning. and it warmed to
him after he had made his jack in its
strenuous game. II gave him a crack
ing majority for President, and four
years hence he will be in reach if the
wind favors. But that is another story

Profit Sharing.

From the New York Commercial
business men would like to share
profits with their employees and many
have done so. The chief stumbIini,
block encountered in adopting any profit
sharing plan is that the employees are
wont to regard the bonuses, in whatever
form they may be distributed. as part
of their wages. They are willing to
share profits. but they refuse to share
losses even to the extent Of a tempo
rary suspension of bonuses when times
are hard Protit-sharing must depend on
net profits and profits vary from year
to year.

The California Vote.

Announcement is made from Sacra-
mento that unless certain formalities
are strictly observed in the matter of
counting the vote east in California on
election day the secretary Of state will
refuse to issue a certificate to the vii
entire electoral vote Of California NAV
be eliminated from the count. This
would not change the national result. a.
in order 10 effect the election of
Hughes complete reversal OF the
states vote is necessary, giving him the
vote instead of Wilson. The dropping
oi the California vote would merely re-
ducc the Presidents total but not be
low the point necessary to election. II
Is conceivable, however. that such loss
of electoral votes might change the ma
tiUnal result, and the conditions of the
California muddle are such as to make
this It most important item. possibly
hearing directly upon the presidential
choice in the future.
California's trouble is caused chiefly by
the fact that in certain precincts the lists
OF registered voters and the tally sheets
have been sealed in envelopes along with
the ballots themselves, and that these
packages cannot be opened to gain ae-
cess TO the lists save by order of court
Meanwhile time limit is running, and
