THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM

The qurrulous and esthetic EvenlSS
Post raises finica! objections 10 the
choice Of President and Vice PreS!-
dent By direct vote Of the people. The
more the question is discussed the
more glTing appear the inequues OF
the electoral system. In two elections,
at least, the injustice OF the system
was made plainly apparent, and %
these the New York Sun refers with
convincing directness in favor Of cleo
ion by popular vote:
In 1875 Samuel J. Tilden had 25c, 22i
more votes than Rutherford B. Hayes
Vet HAYES became President by the vote
Of one elcctor.
In 1881 Grover Cleveland carried New
York by 1.149 votes. Fle had Pig cleo
toral votes. 81 more than were given To
James G.. Blaine. OF the 81 all but one
were cast by New York. That is to say,
1.li9 voters polled So electoral votes
Blaine by 20.069; and Pennsylvania by
S1.Ol9. Maine cast six electoral votes
and Pennsylvania thirty. Maine and
Penns ylvania together gave Blaine rlu-
rality Of 10l.0SS votes. carrying thirty
six electoral votes. the number cast for
Cleveland by New Fork. In other words
1149 votes in New York counted for just
as much as l0t.0SS votes that were cast

HAVE THREE JURORS
IN THE TEIPER CASE

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 15.-Three
Jurors were selected from thirly-two
talesmen examined to-day III the trial
of John Edward Tciper, charged with
the murder of his mother. Mrs Agnes
Teiper, on the Orchard Park road on
Jan. 80. An extra panel Of seventy
FIVE men was summoned and indica-
lions were that it might be several
days before the jury is completed.
The jurors chosen were Charles NJ.
Brewster, a carpenter, % years Old;
Frederick Y. Long, farmer, % wears
old, and Reese Phillips, a contractors
foreman, 81 years old. All are mar
ried and all have children.
Questions put TO taleSmen by DIS.
trict Attorney Guy 3. Moore indicated
that the prosecution would be built on
circumstancial evidence. The district
attorney rejected all who had pre-
JUDGES against conviction on evidence
purely circumstantial: Five OF his
thirty peremptory challenges were
used by Mr.. Moore while the defense
did not make a peremptory challenge.
Edward r. O'Malley, former attorney
general and chief counsel for Teiper,
in his questions laid stress upon the
value Of previous good character as
weighing against circumStantial evil
dence and establishing reasonable
doubt.
District Attorney Moore agreed 10 a
proposal Of the defense that the testt-
mony of Miss Grace Teiper, sister of
the defendant, and the only survivor
Of the tragedy, be taken BY deposi'
ton at her home.

BOONE COUNTY REDEEMED

Z Another delightful oasis in the des-

from top to bottom and across, for the
first time In the history Of the coun-

struggle, but the goal was finally

Of the membership of the party. ONO

ulations to the. Boone Republicans

THE LIMIT OF GREED

There is no question that the hlgn
cost that has been put on many arti-
cles is wholly artificial, is not caused
by any great demand or scarcity, but
solely through the cupldity Of the I'M
scrupulous dealers who are taking ad-
vantage of the helplessness Of the
public. The abnormal drain on this
country by the demands Of the var
conditions in Europe undoubtedly Is
the cause for increased prices of SOME
commodities, but it won't do to blame
everything on the war. Greed can go
too far as was illustrated in neigh
Dor city, where a woman went into
bird store and asked for five cents
worth Of sand for her pet canary. Fer
years she had been buying sand at
five cents per bag. But on this occa-
sion the enterprislng dealer charged
her fifteen cents. Now, as sand is
about the commonest commodity on
the globe, the woman asked the reason
for the advance In price. We'll, You
see," the dealer went on blandly, 80
much sand is being exported to Ell
rope to fill trench bags in battle areas,
and for the protection of cathedrals,
that the supply in this country mas
run short. Hence the higher price"
That, We believe, is about the limit.
But the bird man overreached himself,
for the woman took back her nickel,
with the remark that she wasn't as
green as she looked, although that i'm
preston might have been made by
the way she dressed. She also told
the stumped dealer that she would go
10 an old sand lot where she could
get all the sand she wanted for the
asking Much Of this robbery OF the
public that is going on Is. without
doubt, due to selfish manipulation.

The attitude Of the Egyptian neo-
pie towards England during the war
is a question Of particular interest in
view of the German assertion that
the English. by their usn of coloured
troops. have weakened their intlu-
rncr in the East and that The result
will be a loss Of prestige to them IN
tho countries where colour diStinc-
lion has always been clearly main

doubtful if this argument is sound
one but in no case can it become ell
fective in regard 10 Egypt in view OF
the fact that no Egyptian troops are

We have 10 go back many ceniur-
