Interesting discussions are taking place in Ceylon on the question of the method of balloting at elections. It raises points of profound psychology. At present the voters put their ballot papers into different coloured boxes, each colour representing a different candidate. In order to bo more in line with modern procedure, it has been suggested that the voter should make a cross on the ballot paper in one or other of the coloured spaces which would represent the candidates. The objection to this is that some of the native population cannot make a cross with a pen or pencil and, in any case, such unwonted manipulation might lead to them putting the mark in the wrong place. A suggested alternative is that such timorous voters should dip their fingers in a pot of ink If a house is ’ cheap and badly constructed we say it is jerry-built. The word “ jerry ” used thus is probably a corruption of Jericho, and refers to the walls of Jericho which fell down after the Israelites had walked round them for seven days blowing their trumpets.
