Has Not Worked Out. While there is no questioning the fact that if properly used there is merit to the second choice feature of the primary election system, a bill which has been introduced by Representative Gunnar B. Bjornson, chairman of the house committee on elections, abolishing the feature and providing''a more practical “systenr of handling contests on state officers, should be earnestly considered by the legislature. The state-wide primary law was enacted at the special session of 1912 and is theoretically a good thing, but in practice it has not worked out as was expected, comparatively few of the voters having availed themselves of the privilege. On this ground, and on the further grounds that it is confusing to the voters, its repeal is now proposed. The difficulty and expense of con- testing a state office are almost pro- hibitive under the present system. It is necessary to count the ballots in every county separately and the ex- pense and difficulty in this are so great that there have been few con- tests; In the last election Henry Rines, the defeated candidate for state auditor, contested the nomina- tion of State’ Auditor Preus, and both candidates were put to great annoy- ance and expense without affecting the result. Under the plan proposed in the new bill, recounting of the ballots would all be done at one time, and at the state capitol. Provision is made that wherever a contest is instituted on the nomination or election of a state officer, or on the result of the vote on a proposed constitutional amendment, the judge before whom the contest is brought shall issue an order directing that all ballots per- taining to such contest be forthwith transmitted to the secretary of state by the -county auditors.” They are to be sent by express, in sealed en- velopes which the bill provides they must be placed in after they are counted. The contestant is required to deposit with the secretary of state enough money to pay transportation éxpenses. Similar provision is made for con- | &V® tests involving several counties, as where a district judgeship is at is- sue. The loser in the contest is to pay the expenses. The bill also provides for the rota- tion on the ballot of the names of candidates for non-partisan offices. HRHH KKK KKK KKK * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS %!

This is the theory of Miss Grace Fuller, superintendent of wo- men at the Illinois state peniten- tiary at Joliet. -Miss Fuller is. put- ting her theory into practice, and with gratifying results. A group of white clad, smiling wo- men stood today about their 18aders in a domestic science classroom. They beat eggs, measured out sugar and did other things, all according to recipes written on a blackboard by one of them. Laughter and talk came easily as they worked. The women were prisoners at the state penitentiary—but they were transformed into new, happy per- sons by the application of a scheme of revolutionizing prison methods. In this work, Miss Fuller has the co- operation of Warden Allen. Dress making, rug weaving and other domestic activities are included in the new rule of procedure for wo- men in this institution. Everywhere is noticeable a sense of contentment and absence of restraint. “It is to give these women, who did not have adequate opportunities nity to' qualify for normal society that- we are’doing this. work,” ex- plained Miss Fuller. “Society should feel that it has placed these women here to help them, not to take' its revenge on'them. This we are try. ing to do in giving them work which fine, effective ‘ living. Their lives have in so many instances been bar- ren of all interests before coming here. We ought to supp that in- terest.” KKK KKK KKK KKK KR * WILTON * KKK KK KKK EE KKK KK Miss Geneva Watkins is spending a'vacationl with friénds’and Felatives, * "'Break ‘Up Coughs, Croup and * * 1T Golds Promptly i i**iii**’fi‘li KX KR with “Schiffmann’s Concentrated Bx- pectorant.
