l have used as illustrations some Of
the leading so called independent wards.
In the Twenty first Ward 0734 men
and 1868 women, a total Of II ,403, were.
according to the Assessors list, eligible
to vote. OF these n few hundreds more
than half registered for the primaries.
Registration is the crucial test In
Philadelphia politics. The list can be
taken as the barometric measure Of the
peoples interest. A low registration in =
dicates lack of interest on the. part of
the citizens.
In the Twenty first Ward only half
of its eligible citizens we're sufficiently
interested to register. Only half of
these voted at the general election.
Concretely this was about one fourth
OF all the people entitled to exercise the
franchise.
In the Twenty second Ward there
were al ,020 eligibles. A total of 1854
were women. Only 22,796 voters--men
and women-registered and about two
thirds of this number, or approximately
400, cast their votes. This was n
little more than one third of all those
assessed.
In. the Thirty fourth Ward 16,S29
registered out of "a ,551 less than half.
OF these $3.50 approximately, few
hundred more than one half of the reg
istration, went to the polls. This is
just about one fourth the total number
of voters in the ward.
One of the best showings in the city
was made in the Forty sixth Ward. II
has been regarded rs fair fighting
ground. The tide of battle ebbs and
flows irregularly between the indepen-
dents and the combine. 1t has Al ,463
men and women eligible voters.
Almost one-half of it's cligibles reg
istered. About three quarters of these
voted last week, something more than
one third Of the entire ward.
1t would be idle repetition to go
through the list Of wards. The aver
age would show little more than one
third of those entitled to registration
voting at the general election. Some
thing more than one-third of all cast
their ballot in the final issue.
The contractor Combine is a compact

from day to day, some of it funny, al
most childish some of It significant of
the ambition of the two great powers
each to play the dominant roll in Eu.
ropean affairs.
All is not so lovely as il appears
on the surface in the Conference. You
see that horrid shadow of conflicting
national interests here just as you saw
1t at Paris, though not so clearly. II,
however. the Conference should go on
mere as long as it did at Paris, the ma =
tionalism will be as clear as it was
there.
You see an international line up in the
making. England and the United States
against Japan in the Far East. For If
Japan develops the strong position in
which this Conference will leave her,
she wall bring about the erection of some
balance of power against her, n balance
which may be disturbed by the emer-
gence of Russia, whenever that takes
place. England and the United States
are cooperating generally, perhaps with
france trying to work in so close
to the United States as to be indis-
pensable to us in putting pressure when
necessary upon England
Offer Not Quite Altruistic
The United States naval plane is not
quite altruistic. It~favors the United
states In the matter of submarines and
destroyers. 1t is perhaps necessarily
uhlavorabc to Japan in aircraft. 1t is
autrulStic about battle cruisers, but it
mad to be. We haven't any and we
could not, in n plan to limit arma-
ment, propose to build any.
>, The British, privately shooting at the
French, but hitting us, say war under
water Is just as dirty as war on the
surface. And it is true. The sub
marine, whatever it may be to us at a
distance from powerful neighbors, is not
a defensive weapon the world over, and
lhe Conference is ostensibly limiting
navieS to defense.
But probably it is too much to wish
that the horrid shadow of national self
interest and the faint gathering of
iillStS which may become war clouds
should not appear in this peace gath
rring. Certainly Mr.. Hughes would
teil us so, and so would Mr.. Harding.
All that the Americans seek to do is
to make war little less likely and to
provide the means perhaps of making
it still more less likely in the future.
The British express the hopes of
mankind with that moderation which
makes them one of the great peoples
to fear.
"We,' said one of them, speaking
with authority, ''are following out that
religious formula-oh, what is It? Yes
Doing unto to others what we would
like them to do unto us. We do good
in order that by certain repercussion
we may profit little in the end" :"
Everybody has his eye on the rcper-
cussion and also OH the possibility that
it may not repercute.

DOINGS OF THE
 LEGISLATURE
sol0NS BUSY GRINDING OUT NEW ACTS FOR GOVERNING
 OF STATE.

The first test of the McRae admins traitor came in the Senate when the Dill for the abolishment of the Arkan sss Peaitentiary Commission was passed 18 to f5.
 The bill had been passed in the mouse, where it had been introduced by Representative Gates of Lonoke However. the Senate amended the bill by eliminating the section providing that executions of prisoners may be performed by contract with Pulaski County officials.
 Senators were disagreed as to whether the close vote is indicative Of the lineup on all other administra. tiOn measures.
 Enbodying the special message of the governor received in the Senate, Senator Wilson of Washington coun- ty introduced measure which would withdraw from sale for a period oi nve years all state and school lands. during which time provision would be maze for its sale or lease at prices eommeEsurate with it's value.
 A bill was introduced by Represen. tatiye Gates of Bonoke which pro. vides for the repeal of Act No. 571 of isis, creating the Arkansas Corpora. non Commission. This act makes no trovision for substitute. It is re. ported that similar bill will be of ored in the Senate where there are pending other measures for the aboli- ton of the commission.
 The latter part of the week was de. voted to the consideration and ad. vancemeHt of Senate bills. All Sen. ate bills that had been received were read first and second time and . number of them were passed.
