In the first place, the government was awakened to its danger and began breaking up their organiza- tions. It is characteristic of German public op- inion that several thousand of the Communists were jailed as enemies of the republic while the junkers, equally extreme agitators against the republic, could not be touched. In the second. place, conditions in the country have improved, and further improyement is in prospect. The people who turned in desperation to support of the Communists cannot help see- ing that the Dawes plan, which, according to the Communists, will enslaye German labor, hag for the moment considerably relieved the strain under which they have been living.

There was a general’ improvement throughout the natien also, and the total vote cast on Tucs- day will reach the record figure. It was not what it should have been, but it was better than ever before. We have often thought that if a dictator should spring up in this country or if congress should enact a measure which deprived citizens of the: right to yote it is possible that an army of in- dignant patriots would be marching on the cap- ital before sunset, demanding the restoration of the ballot. Yet United States senators, who might have the making ‘of such a law, have sometimes been chosen by a yote of less than thirt¥ per cent of their registered constituents. Presidents have been inaugurated whose’ popular vote was less than per cent of the massed registration of the country. > Women fought for four generations to obtain the franchise. When it was fully accorded them many straightway proceeded to forget about it. Now, if half of tlfose who were so insistent on their rights actually go to the polls, they think they are doing, wonderfully well—and possibly they are. bd Liv now and then some irate politician ses in his seat and demands the enactment law to make vot contpulsory, Of course, this, is billed as a frée country and possibly the supreme court would decide that under ‘the con- stitution no man or woman can be compelled to vote aguinst h’ wwill, but nevertheless there is sume warrant for such a law. The idea has been tried already in some of the remodeled governments of Europe. In Czecho Slovakia, for instance, every voter is obliged to par ate in an election. For failure to vor unless exempted, he may be fined from $5 to +150 or be imprisoned from one day to one month, Persons who are beyond 70 years of age or’ phy. sically disabled or: who are unavoidably detain ed from the ‘polls by travel or other cogent reason may be excused, but otherwise they are required to present themselves at the polls.. The results show for themselves. Women vote on equal terms with the men and in some of. the districts more than 95 per cent of the qualified yote has been recorded. In the first election for parliament there were about 7,000,000 registered voters and less than 10 per cent of them failed to report. There are more than twenty different the fal do ko well qualified to bring complete understand- ing of the publie business to the exalted off ‘so dignified, able, and in presence and bearing 1, goes without say- as done in cowardly manner by a without dispute. Whether it had any bearing upon the final result will not be known. We rather think not. But as a first cause of defeat may be attrib- yward also parties in ¢ ho-Slovakia—representing rac groups, religions or classes—and each division makes a degperate effort to bring out its full strength, The parties are given parliamentary representation on the basis of their total vote and this\furnishessa rivalry that encourages 2 heavy balloting.

Neither «wvas it in good taste. It smacked more Of capit-, alization of sorrow that had befallen than any appeal of qualifications possessed, It simply demonstrates anew that people in the mass may be easily misled to do a thing out —of sympathy which their deliberate and cooler judgment would condemn. t Present and Voting + Here is the list of states that voted to elect ‘Coolidge and Dawes and frustrate the LaFol- ‘Jette plan to thrust the presidential election into athe two houses of congress where the bolsheviks uld control it.

For if there ever wa person who needed trimming and constant- ly invited it, it was Brookhart.

He was a dis- ciple of aLFollette and did his bidding. But a traitor himself to the people he represented, when he sought to change the personnel of the Republican national ticket he went too far, and the people of Towa lost no time in sending him back to the farm, There is where he should rx main for nll time.

The franchise should be worn as a decoration of honor. The yote is a duty but it is also a privilege. Get Good Ones ‘ We have no objection to electing women to of- fice or being bossed by them. The best men in the country rather enjoy, or pretend to enjoy, being henpecked. But in the selection of women to wield the scepter, if it is all the same to the voter, select a fair female who is also an able wielder. We are all looking to woman to banish in- efficiency and graft from public office, and it re- quires a prettY smart tvoman. Women have the chance to do a tremendous work for good. But if public office is looked upon as a mete meal ticket or a place to be filled under the law, with- out considering fitness for the public business, it will not be long before office holding by wo- men is obsolete. ~ When will the Bryan family evet learn that the American people will have none of them? Alton B. Parker the worst defeated Demo- crat in history up to date now looks like a winner in comparison with Davis. LaFollette will have less to say from this on, byt people cannot pay less attention to it than they did during the recent campaign, Magnus Johnson by devoting his time and at- tention to the milking of cows, might yet achieve fame. He certainly left no impression on the country of ability in any other direction. Wonder if Doc. Hylton has recovered his senses since broadcasting his famous message to the word respecting the election of Rose, Wanerus, et al? And where is the great surprise he was to spring on old time reactionary Republicans, whose creed is party regularity? Doc's enthus- iasm get the better of him. What to do with our ex-presidential candidates is the next problem to be solved. So far as John W. is concerned he can go back to the practice of law: and LaFollette can go way back and sit down. The rest can go hang. Cromer seems to have a lead for the judgeship that cannot be overtaken. It is well for the peo- ple of the district that is so, Mr. Rose will retire from the bench about Jan- uary Ist.

I made it plain that 70 or 80 per cent of the criminals had come from un- sympathetic homes, and that there was no. greater preventive for wrong- doing than a great desire on the part of parents to understand their children, to pay attention to them ‘nd become their conffdants.
