Reg- ister complaints before 8 o'clock Importance of Voting There is a lesson to be learned from the recent state primary election in Maine, It one that may be carried home to every voter in the country with profit to himself. In a total vote of cighty thousand there was an unofficial difference of forty-two votes between the two leading candidates for governor on the Republican ticket. This is not de 2 enough for com fort to either candidate or their friends But it does spell the going to the polls aud and supporters. importance of voting. For ‘one never knows when it single. yote will turn defeat. into vic tory or vice yersa, When the fact that every proper yote counts is impressed upon yoters we may have a larger percentage of voters attending elections. And every vote does count even if the majority{ for your candidate is heavy or his defeat is emphatic. All there is to our election is one yote plus other yotes. * In this Maine election there were probably some hundreds of voters who did not cast ballots, on the old but false assumption that if made no dif ference one way or another what they did. Now it is very plain to them that their voting would have made a dif- ference.

That is a condi- tion to be much desired, but it is not with us yet. Until it does exist why not be prepared in some slight degree for what has been in the past, inevitable on an average of once every seven years. Our forefathers, who were hard-boiled men, met at stated intervals on what was known as “General Training Day” to go through simple “military man- oeuvres designed to make the citizen feel himself capable to act intelligently on that day when the necessities of the state or nation required his presence in the field bearing arms in support of the cause for which the-public welfare de- creed that he must fight.

The advan- tage is this: a natural sponge ab- sorbs the water into the body of the material abd with it naturally goes dirt, grit and gravel. On the other hand, a rubber sponge takes on water only after the air has been squeezed out of it, so that the water can be sucked into the pores. It does not enter the sponge itself, but is held within the cell walls, with the result that the water is squeezed out, the dirt and grit will run out with it, leaving the sponge free from forelgn substances which might injure a polished surface. The auto washing spotge made by the Miller Rubber company ‘s es- pecially destzned not only to fit the hand comfortably, but particularly to get in between the spokes and to reach every nook and corner of a car. It performs a neat and thorough job and leaves an unmarred and glossy finish. ROBBER BEAR IW NATIONAL ‘PARK KILLED YELLOWSTONE PARK, :Wyo., Aug. 9.—A robber bear was hurled ie LYLE E.

Applying Horse Sense In the matter of parading the mili- tary forces of the nation on a day set art why not view it with the horse sense we were wont to view everything before a lot of pacifists, fools and asses, and designing Dolshevists came along and mussed things up. Of all displays of pure bunk and tedious twaddle we are recommending the efforts of those who oppose the observance of National De- fense Day. If there is in this broad land a single community where war talk is heard, we would like the objectors to point it out. There is no such community. Not even on the Mexican border where tur. bulence has reigned for some years, and grave offenses committed against / jean citizens and their international rights. Neither is there the slightest un- rest from one end of the Canadian boun- dary line to the other. Nobody wants war. But everybot but the feeble minded, wants fety well as to know of their own knowledge that we have the means of protection if any adventurous people from else- where desire to investigate the matt Our neighbors are at peace with us. What is more we know of no nation in all the world that is making any gest- ures that are hostile to this country. The United States is not now in any danger of an invasion by armed forces of another land, Only within our own borders are to be found enemies, who would make war upon the country and to aman they now condemn any parade of the milit and there is no reason to think that the po lice for rious sorts throughout the dif $ cannot cope with such antagonists except on very espe- cial occasions.

Manufacturer's presidency on the slogan, “He kept us out of war.” To give that campaign con- sistency and make it effective there was almost a complete stoppage of all pre- parations for national defense, even though it seemed inevitable that the United States would be drawn into the war raging in Europe. The Democrats. won the efection, and the following summer the people paid the price. The unpreparedness fostered by the party then in power cost billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in the feverish Scramble to get soldiers and material to- gether after war was declared in April, 1917. Mr. Bryan and the pacificts who are inveighing against the observance of National Defense Day are doing every- thing in their power to put the country back into that state of impotence in which our advent into the great war found it. No one of sound mind thinks’ for a moment that such a policy will reduce the probability of our being at- tacked. On the contrary, helplessness is a direct invitation to attack. Instead of preventing war, the attitude of Mr. Bryan is provocative of war—and of a war in whieh the defeat and subjugation of the United States would be assured from the start.

On this occasion, well after midnight, a fist fight between Rep. Grow of Penn- sylvania and Rep. Keitt, in which the latter was knocked down, led to a gen- eral fracas.
