Some vote for one party. because their fami-. lies have always done so. Not, much intelligence in that method.- Some vote for a certain party because the people of their own set do so. They find that a certain idea is popular in their crowd, and’ therefore conclude it must be correct. Some vote in a certain way because friends | give them a certain reason for doing so, or some- thing they saw in some newspaper or heard from H some “speaker influenced them. Someone told them of some terrible things that would’ happen | if this or that candidate or party was or’ was not | successful, and they believed it, and voted accord- | ingly. And there are some, and fortunately, it is a pretty large number, who are all the time reading political news in the newspapers, and who form | opinions of their own. If they see the statement | of some candidate or editor, they do not neces- sarily swallow it down, but they ask the question out of their experience whether that thing is so. The opinions of the country are shaped large- ly by this latter class. People listen to their ideas and are swayed by them. Of course people have their own underlying - tendencies, prejudices, and fears, which are influential. They listen more | readily to people of their own type than they do to those in different circles.. And yet when people read and think about politics, they can feel sure | that they exert much influence, and they are the | principal creators of public opinion. It is a gen- | erous reward for the rather small amount of time | that it takes to keep posted on public affairs. | LIGHT AND POWER | | | | \ When the late Charles, Albert Coffin set ae ¢ in_the ’80s to sell electricity to the people, he was inspired, according to his own words, by faith.” That faith has been abyndantl; though there remains plenty of opportunity for his successors in the industry in the development | of new fields of activity. As late as 1912, accord- ing to the Washington statistics, the electric light | and power stations produced 14,000,000 thousand. | kilowatts of current. In 1924, the public utility | power plants alone produced ,60,000,000 thousand- | kilowatts. .The number of customers served by the central stations was less than 2,000,000 1907, but nearly’ 13,000,000 in 1924. With insur- ance, electric current holds the rare distinction of | escaping the post-war. rise’in prices, As compared | with, 1913, prices in 1924 would shop a perceptible decline. “a holy justified, in There are those who: foresee social revolution, hy the elimination of our o¥ergrown cities, through |BY ahe tet TT The Millstone , TUESDAY, AUGUST. 17, 1986, _ Pevida East Coast Railway £ FLAGLER SYSTEM THE ST.

THE MIGRATING TENDENCY Vice-President Dawes, ‘in addressing a few } days ago the 50th anniversary celebration for Colo- rado’s statehood, remarked on the tendency to emi- | grate, and of the drift of population from east to west. He brought out thé idea how people of an active disposition tend to leave the places where they were brought up and go. elsewhere, and the coytented tend to stay on in the same places where they were born.
