BENEFIT WORK
IS WELL DONE
BY TWO CLUBS

The concert OF the combined Lyric
and Apollo clubs, under the direction
OF Williams Conrad Mills, scored a big
success last night at the high school
auditorium before a large and appre-
ciative audience. 1t was an ambitious
program and was well sung through
odt. Encores were the rule and the
a Idience indicated that even such a
Hong program was not tiresome.
The bright particular numbers, to
judge from the applause, were the sex
Ut rom Lucia di Larpermoor and the
aiiserere scene from II Trovatore the
latter repeated at the insistent request
q the audience. The two soloists of
this number Miss Clara Hazard So
prano, and Howard Ewing. tenor, were
very effective and sang their parts
well. In fact all the soloists were in
fine trim
Special mention should be made of
the contralto Mrs. o. H. Mitchell who
sang a group of songs She displayed
q voice Of much depth and beauty. 1t
is hoped that she will be heard more
OF ten.
Hugh Wright and James McBain ap-
pcared i'll solo parts with the Apollo
club numbers and were generously ap-
plauded. The work Of the Apollo club
was hardly up to the standard set by
TIE older organization of Women's
notes.-the Lyric club. 1t lacked the
elean-cut work evidenced by the older
! club in it's numbers.
Miss McAfee. the reader on the pro-
gram read a selection from THE Bar
r.er," by Rex Beach. and responded to
| an insistent encore. Her work is be-
You'd criticism and she was in her
usual good form. Her portion Of the
program was much enjoyed.
All in all the concert was a big sue

"Doualas No. u

The evidence so far as it went yesterday in the
governors contest in the matter of Douglas pre-
cinct No indicates that the Australian ballot system
did prevail there but that the Mexican or pos
sbly the Fiji system in vogue there on No
vember of last year. Until there Is testimony to

the election board composed of in
the precinct who in order to overcome nostalgia a
longing for home and familiar surroundings had
fortified themselves with alcoholic stimulants to
which they obliged have recourse frequently
during the day. the succeeding night and the next
day; that when they felt Tagging interest in the
recount they stimulated it by going out and betting
on one Of the candidates. whereupon they could
sumo their labors with renewed zeal.
There is thing though disclosed by the tes-
timony that is credtable to the board its beautiful
confidence in the integrity of it's members
BY the departure of all the the board but
in whose sole custody the open ballot box was
left. That he had money bet on the result and was
armed with lead pencil and with eye upon him
except that of heaven is further proof OF the conf
dence in which he held by his associates on the
board.
To board inspired by mutual trust it is
strange that interopers dstastefu when they
insisted upon a surveillance Of the proceedings of
that body. 1t is surprising such interlopers
should be threatened with being thrown out or get
ting licked. The suspicion that there might be an
irregularity Of methods pursued by such board is
indicative of nothing but the base nature of the
saspiconer
We will submit though and offer in excuse for
the attorneys of Governor Campbell who have ques-
toned the result in Douglas No. l. that the same
procedure followed in the counting of ballots there
could not be safely followed in all precincts in
many other precints. In many localities know
occupying positions of inspectors judges of
elections who under the Influence Of strong drink and
who having financially interested themselves in the
result, would have embraced such opportunity
frequently presented in Douglas Precinct No
to take unwarranted liberties with the ballots.
But Douglas is Douglas and it's morals
to be measured by the ordinary standards We attri-
butte the fact that it is separate and apart the
beneficent influence which Major Kelly and Colonel

FAULT OF INJURED

"Fighty-six per cent of all fatal and
serious street car accidents that oc-
CURED in Germany in 1915 were due
to the fault of the injured as shown
BY report Of the Association of Ad-
ministration of German Street aEI

Automobile Chamber of Commerce.
This agrees almost exactly with the
resort of the New York city police
department for the same year, which
shows that 81 per cent of all vehiculal
accidents in the streets of the city,
in which persons were injured or
killed and the causes of which were
given were the fault of the injured.

Tha MIDDLE at the City Hall

We hardly believe that it will be found advisable
exclude from the ballot the city election. the
of candidates who had the approval of many
voters at the primaries. One of them who would
be thus excluded would be Mr.. Work who led the
field at the primary and within fifty of
an election. Another would be Mr.. Davenport who
ceived almost 1000 and ranked third in the
list.
Their exclusion would occur, if at ALL because OF
rregularity neglect to file statement re-
garding expenditures That failure, if made known
at the time would unquestionably have kept
their names off the primary ballot. That might have
been done without any affront to the will of the
voters which had not yet been expressed and way
could still have been found put their names
the ballot at the general election.
But now they have become the expressed choice
candidates of very large number of voters who
would be deprived entirely of the exercise Of their
choice II these canddates erred in failing to file the
prescribed statement the city officials have cor
tributed the effect of the failure by their
failure to discover it while it could have been rect-
fled.
Though the law provides that the names of can
didates who neglect file such a statement shall
not be printed the primary ballot. the OF
these candidates printed the primary ballot
They were also nominated, of them have
said, receiving a larger number of votes than any
other candidate.
We do not know what will be done about it now
but think know what the people will do at
the earliest possible moment after the general cleo
ton If these candidates are excluded, we feel very
sure that the people will be given opportunity to
vote for them at recall election
The people Will be the more likely to demand this
opportunity because OF the circumstances which
round the situation. There is impression that the
city hall is favorable these candidates and the
suspicion, whether right wrong that the city hall
has availed itself of the chance in this to
defeat them, will be inevitable.

How 10 Store Vegetables.

In an article on gardening in
the September Woman's Home
Companion, a writer says:
'The ideal storage place for
vegetables that grow under the
ground is an underground room,
without heat, that will not freeze
otherwise a cold cellar. The
temperature must be between 33
and 80 degrees Fahrenheit; that
is, from just above freezing to
what is technically known as
'cold;' and if it can be maintain
ed at one point evenly, so much
the better. All the root crops
except satisfy and parsnips, and
Irish potatoes, stored in boxes
into which they have been pack
ed in alternate layers with dry
earth or sand, in such a cellar,
will come out next spring as
fresh as the day they went in.
Satisfy and parsnips require
freezingto bring to proper flavor;
and so it is better to leave these
two vegetables in the ground,
digging direct from the garden
as weather permits. If the Sc
verify of the winter makes such
opportunities too rare, leave
them out until they have frozen
up once, then dig a part of the
crop and store in sand, as direct
ed above. The balance will be
all right for early spring use d.
rect from the garden.
