VOTING MACHINES AND BALLOTS

From time to time there are those who are doing their best to have the death knell of the voting machines sounded. They do not object to the speedy declaration of the results or the accuracy in recording the ballots thaS are cast but they desire as in the case of the New Haven Journal-Courier 'to have the citizen cast his vote intelh- gently after a study of the party tickets in the field and after heA has viewed them at his leisure"
 In this day and generation the voter who goes to the polls without knowing g for whom he is going to vote and for whom he is not going to vote repre- sents decidedly small class. Just what influence there is to be gained from the voting booth in determining the candi- dates he is going to vote for is difficult to understand. The fact is he gets just as much opportunity for deliberation, if that is necessary, in the voting machine booth as in the booth where he used to mark his ticket and the chances of his disfranchising himself are decidedly less. A wrong mark on his ballot Or a mis- placed one and his vote is lost. Count CTS are not mind readers. On the ma chine he can vote for no more than he is entitled to and his ballot is counted as he votes it.
 A delightful example of how the pa- per ballot works out is revealed in the recent election in Greenwich, which boasts of the least illiteracy in the state where there were 102 out of a total of ann 1,otes who disfra ncFTSed themselves in spite of the opportunity to view thei1 baTots at their leisure. This was be- cause they failed in Greenwich to mark their ballots correctly while there werf
 dozen who put in their ballots with
 out marking them at all. The automatic
 recording on the voting machines would have prevented the loss of those vote:
 which in many elections would have
 been enough to change the entire re | suit.

GREAT WASTE FROM FIREs.

From time to time additional appro- priations are sought for the purpose of increasing the facilities for fighting fires that break out in the forest areas of the country and also to provide for the early detection of any fire that may develop from one cause or another, since less work and quicker control are cer- tain if there can be an immediate re- sponse.
 What the need is for such service is well Illustrated by the fire which swept through sec acres of young growth or the White mountains this month before 1t could be checked. Such forest land Is in the control of the federal govern ment as a reservation. It is deserving Of protection for Hhe same reason that altSwOodlsnd is and it is apparent tha while the government is spending mon ey and seeking state cooperation for tht safeguarding of the woodlands of tht country that it cannot wisely disregard its own reservations.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
Bataria's Split With Russia.


 Munich leaps ahead of Berlin as the premier date line of central Europe.
 Bavaria emerges to dispel the illusion that Prussia spells Germany.
 Conceivably the land of Wagner. toy making, brewing, and lenses may achieve a polKical entity which suffered a fadeaway when William was crowned emperor in that hall at Versailles where, more recently, another William was con- signed to the limbo of ex-monarchy.
 Were major problems affecting us and our national friends not pressing so hard upon us, Americans might be paying considerably more heed to the renewal of an old time internal strife in Germany which has potentialRies, at least, for further remaking the map of Europe" says a bulletin of the National Geograph- ic society concerning news despatches that tell how Munich is locking horns with Berlin.
 Many folk wno abhor Germany's war ways, and Prussia's ways st any time, soften their ranoor with the admission that Bavaria is not Prussia Bavaria always has been clamorous about that distinction, and it is not surprising that -she should be anxious to linn the cleav- age on the political map of Europe now that Prussia has suffered so complete an | eclipse.
 Should Bavaria embark upon a career of self determination within the bounds | of the German republic, she would have | one important factor in her favor-a factor that might be called geographical | determination For Bavaria has a nat ural boundary of mountains, and squats with this security upon an elevated pla- | teau wheer the soil is fertile, certain | minerals abound, and vast forests not SC many years ago overrun with bears and boars, are to be counted among her nat i ural assets.
 Bavaria proper is split by the now internaJionahzed waters of the Danube Besides her capital she possesses Nurem. berg. Augusburg, Wurzburg and Regens. | burg, or Ratisbon, if one would break the monotony of the burg ultima Ba- | varia proper connotes the eleven. | twelfths of the Bavarian kingdom bound. ed in part by Czechoslovakia. Austria | Switzerland, Wurtemberg and Saxony This portion of it is somewhat largei than West Virginia. The rest of tht kingdom, nearly twice the size of Rhod, Island, is separate from the main part lying across the Rhine, within the are: of the present zone of allied occupation
 Temperament and religion distinguish Bavaria from Prussia. About three fourths of its population, upward O seven million, are Roman Catholics It people have a reputation for good natur and a special fondness for beer. for cas- going ways and love of tradition. for ex ating art rather than science. So far a they weer compelled toward commerce one writer puts it, they dealt in the tw things they like best-art and beer. T this easy generalization should be adde the toy making industry which arose i the forest areas of northern Bavaria. an from it should be excepted the optics instruments for which Munich wa noted. Before the war both these prod ; ucts found ready markets in America.
 There are political reasons also wh

Germany's stress. Along with the so- called middle states of Wurtemberg and Baden, Bavaria early achieved constitu- tionai governf1ent The Birth Of the constitutional form dates back to Napo- leonie times. So rapid was the expansion of Bavaria then that constitutional bonds were needed to bind new territory. Ecu daaism was swept away Nobles and clergy had privileges curtailed. Mill tary solidarity demanded that each man be made conscious of his duty to the state, and in concession to that necessity each man had to be granted certain equal rights before the law. Prussia's ambitions toward eohfederation demand ed an antidote in tiie form of privileges which would keep Bavarians anxious to maintain their independence.
 Like Pericles of Athens Ludwig I of Bavaria realized the patriotic impulses generated by a beautiful capital. I am going to make Munich such an honor to ! Germany that nobody will know Germany who has not seen Munich he declared But in Lola Montez Ludwig found not an Aspasia but a Gaby Delys. So ob- noxious did the royal scandal become that one of his cabinets was populariy known as the Lolaministeriun.' Finally the. patron of Wagner had to abdicate And under his son and successor Maxi l iIillidh H. Aui1AtA po1puldT uemanuS were 1 granted.
 i 'Bavaria's struggle for separation is 2 long story. Frequently she sided witt | Austria against Prussia But she sue l Sumbed following the Franco-Germ
 war, after which. it has been remarked ] there were no longer any states in Ger

 Even then her spirit was not quencn ed. An old proclamation was revived al
 recently as 1900 by which the Germai
 emperor's birthday was to be celebrated
 by the display of only the Bavarfan fla,
 on public buildings.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN
 HISTORY
WHEN WE ADOPTED STANDARD
 TIME

WHEN WE ADOPTED STANDARD
 A half century has not elapsed since the United States adopted standard time, and previous to 12 o'clock noon, on No vember 19, 1883, the United States was in confusion regarding time Before that date there were f1fty-three separate and distinct standards in use throughout the country, and at each central point there were several.
 Under the confusion of time in vogue prior to the adoption of standard time, when advertising the time of departure of train, it was necessary for the railroad to explain it's standard. Travelling men, anxious to observe punctuality in their engagements, formed the habit of chang ing their watches every time they chang ed their location.
 The railroad companies had waited ir vain for the government to take some def mite action. On January 13, 1S4S, the British government adopted a standard time schedule, which rectif1ed the trouble in the British Isles. At that time ar endeavor was made to enlist the co-opera tion of the United States, but the author ities anticipated an unusual amount o. confusion and the project came to naughl In 1883 the railroads decided to talk the initiative. They divided the countr. 1 in five zones-antercolonial, Eastern l Central, Mountain and Western or Pacic fc-and decided that they would mak their schedules on the basis of these fv standards. which were an hour apart | They also talked seriously of changini

and for five years 5s million acres were swept by fire causing a loss of $56,- ooo, 06o
 How great fire fighting force there must be to adequately handle such fires can be easily imagined, famed as they are by gales and requiring decidedly different tactics than are used in hand ling fires in buildings. Such conditions ak the more strongly emphasize the im- portance of fire prevention particularly when it is understood that half of the forest fires are caused by the acts of men through carelessness. The prob lem of checking forest fires would be large enough if they were limited to those over which man has little or IT. control. When campers. hunters, lunn- bermen and others are responsible for ha1f of the great waste that is occa- stoned each year, even though 1t may not be intentional. there is surely good reason for the exercise of more care by those who go into the forests. Care Is one of the great fire preventers.

LOSE SUNDAY
GAME, 9 TO 4

The Boomers Ferry baseball nine
was defeated at Standpoint Sunday by
a score of 9 to 4, Standpoint having
secured five scores in the first inning,
mainly through the inability of Foley,
the Boomers Ferry pitcher, to locate
the plate. Foley was nearly as poor
in the second inning and was re-
placed by Decks, who had been
brought from Spokane to play second
base in place of Bill" Johnston, who
left Boomers Ferry last week. Decks
proved to be one of the best pitchers
Boomers Ferry has had this season and
held Standpoint the remainder of the
game.
In the second inning the Standpoint
pitcher, Trekell hit three Bonners
Ferry men. Boomers Ferry made its
four scores in this inning, all earned
runs. Standpoint made only five
earned runs in the entire game.
Between the fifth and sixth innings
a short memorial service was held in
honor of Claude Langworth, who died
last Friday He was an overseas vet
eran and played second place on the
Standpoint team.
In the fifth inning Catcher Tiggle-
beck, for Standpoint, tore a finger and
retired from the game.
