YAKIMAN WILL GO TO
 SOUTH AMERICA TO
 LOCATE HOST TRACT

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash, Jan. % Going to South America in search of a particular tract of 5OO,OOO acres of land may appear like a long journey to perform an easy task, but if George F. McAuley, who will leave here in about two weeks for Brazil, locates this 5OO,OOO-acre tract he will be moro successful than was an emissary of the same investors who visited Brazil last year.
 Several years ago nine North Yak ina men, at the suggestion of a for mer Yakima man then living in Bra gil, purchased a tract of land of this size from the Brazilian government and the maps and the papers seem- ed entirely regular Somehow the land has disappeared and the invcs- tors who had planned to colonizc the tract, decided to send one of their own number to locate it. Among the investors are a county commls- soner, a physician, two attorneys and several other business men.

RESERVE CRITICISM

X newspaper speaks sueerEsy of the technical" protests that have been IcdgG against counting the returns Of the recent Territorial election from "cer- tain precincts The paper does know what t is talking about and would do well Co reserve criti ctsm until after the hearing before the cauyassng board. U is very easy make talk about depriving the "houes, cector of his right vo,e" sound very democratic, but experience has shown that there worse things for the common people as a mass than deprving some Of them of the right 60 vote Thou. sands and thousands Ot legal votes are sacrificed at each American election iu the n,c-cs, Of an hon. est ballot We require everybody Co vote on a single day and home. and thousands go v5elcs5 year after ye'~ We close the polls a certain hour and dozens do not get an opportunity to vote In most States require tae registration os voters each year. and
 thousands 0s legal voters through no fault of their either registered or incorrectly registered and they lose their right Co vote. There is not an election that more legal votes do not fail 60 reach the ballot box in the city of Seattle than ary ever voted In Alaska.
 There Is not provision placed in election law for the purpose of safeguarding against fraud that does no, shut out legal voters Registration laws do not add to the qualifications of electors, but they make r difficult for che to get his ballot in the box auI counted The result is that hundreds or thousands oC votes every election ia the larger States. But u gives the officers Of the law an oppor tunity Jo prevent illegal voting All the safeguards have similar eIiec,-p-obsbIy uo, 10 the same cy. tent, but all of them shut out votes.
 It certain precincts" in Alaska disregarded re. Quiremeuts of the law that were put in the law as safeguards against fraud. and attention should be paid the violations of what use to pass antiIraud election laws at all? If the Of all precincts are to be counted whether provisions of the law essential to honest ballot are complied with why spend time and worry the preparation Of an election law that will insure the people against tainted elections?
 Safeguards against dishonesty are too few rather than too many in the Alaska election law Instances o' illegal voting in the late Alaska election under cir cumstances that would have made 1t impossible to [ cheat in the States are not lacking For instance the Democratic Central committee has evidence Of such illegal voting in the Third Division. Alaska cannot afford to create the sentiment that people can conduct election any old way and get away with it.
 It would be well for those who are not informed to suspend criticism of either the attorneys of Senator sulzer the Canvass!ng Board until they know more.
