These laws are so defective as to give unquestioned advantage to dishonesty and corruption in most elections upon referendum questions. In several states there is little doubt that suffrage amendments have been lost through fraud. All the suffragists in ...

She looked so steadily on these gulfs and murks that at last she could see anything she wished to see; and always, when times were critical, when this and that, abominations indescribable, were separate by no more than a pin's point, she must retire from her ...

Many means have been tried to mitigate the social evils, but with little encouragement.

Similar methods have been tried in other European towns, ...

Perception would thus be nothing but simple passive registration.

What we here take to be pure fact is, on the contrary, the last term in a highly complicated series of mental operations. And this ...

The proportion of illegitimacy is very unequally distributed over Ireland, and the inequality rather humbling to us as Protestants, and still more as Presbyterians and Scotchmen. Taking Ireland according to the registration divisions, the proportion of illegitimate births varies from 6.2 to 1.3. The division showing this lowest figure is the western, being substantially the Province of Connaught, where about nineteen-twentieths ...

The draft system was in charge of General Crowder who, as a result of long study on the subject, had devised a system which was not ...
