J, Moore Damon and PhytlaS Saturday night at the opera house. “ The paper ballot does not furnish b secret method of voting; it never lid ; it never can because the voter can make his voting mark in such a way as to identify'his ballot.” The voting machine, says Senutor Bender, does furnish a secret method, of voting because it has a curtained; oooth which completely hides the voter ’ while voting. The voting is done with mechanical, Indicators; there can be no pencil marks to identify the ballot; It fur­ nishes go opportunity to identify the Dullot by writing on it. The use o f the voting machine gives the election otiiclals no opportunity to examine the voter’s ballot, to see ar feel how he voted. ’ The. counter compartment of a vot-- ,ng machine Is locked and sealed from riew during the voting. The counters, show the totals only—not each ballot! separately. 1 , “One of the principal advantages of the voting machine is that it fur- lishes a permanent record of the vote lust as it wus cast. A, record that :annot be changed and is always ready for reference In case of any Jispute over the result, of the election. “ The voting machine greatly re- luces election expenses because few- sr election.districts and fewer election officers are required, voting booths, jallot boxes and other election equip­ ment are unnecessary." . * * •* •.

In the first half the close guarding o f the Yellow Jackets was a feature o f the game, only allowing tho Xenia mercifully generous in gjying and our knowledge on every subject seems very scanty Indeed. Moreover its not particularly gratifying to know that “ the worst is yet to come,” be­ cause” we don’t think there are enough days in this week in which to give all the tests the teachers want,, so- tests will probably be the de resistance on the menu next week. Anyway, we nev­ er did think that tests are all that ’re “ cracked up to be” , because when we please the teachers with such bril­ liant recitations every day, it really seems a superfluity to test our knowledge further. But'then—we're all just naturally cheerful so we’ll smile hard and take the tests that “ the powers that be have ordained.” We’re all going to get A ’s too, so just “ Watch our Dust! 9 • • We are very glad to welcome baric those who -remained at home last week in fear of the Scarlet Fever, es­ pecially Wilda Auld, our little Fresh­ man forward of our C.

The very heartiest co-operation of all the people ’cf the community will be need­ ed to stamp out entirely the malady. May of the children, of these grades have been kept out of school for the past several days from fear o f con­ tracting tlie malady.
