CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING APRIL 1st, 1922 MAKING VOTERS VOTE. | While theré is no getting away from the fart that there Is a moral responsi- Bility resting uvon the shoulders of vot- érs to go to the polls. and it is equally elear that if the franchise is worth hav- ing it s worth exereising, the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature bas turned down the bill whiech would Bave made It comphlsory for voters (o #0 to the polls on election day and vote. Compulsory voting might be regarded in tapeh the same light as compulsory edueation. Both have in view the de- velopment of a better citizenship and the requiring of all that they should meet their responsibilities, but the effects of the lack of a compulsory education law would be much more serious than tha tatlure to provide a law that would In- sist that voters must go to the polls. The dca has developed from the fact that there are so many of the voters in ¢very community who fail to respond to their duty through lack of interest or forgetfulness, and the bellef has existed fhat some penulty should be attached for their failure to vote if they can get to the polis Massachusetts regards it as & matter of privilege and if an elector doesn’t want to vote for any of the many #easous that might arise he should not #& made to do =0 except through appéals rought to bear upon him to do his duty. ! In eonnection with movements for dompulsory voting there seems to be an éven greater need of providing for ab- dentes veting, Many there are who Wwould Mke to get to the polls to ecast Geir vote but are presented through 4bsence from the city or the staté of Bealth which makes 1t inadvisable to tenture forth during any and all kinds §f weather. Much as they regret it they g‘. dbliged to forego what they would @ to pérform and leave to othérs what they are entitled to vote upon. Several #ates permit voters who are going te be ay election day to prepare their bal- and mall them in advance of elec- flen day, to be counted with the others.

Widespread has been the appeal in be- Ralf of Arbor day and general has been the response throughout the country to the objects Involved. Extensive wouid be the forest and dense would be. the shrubBery could the trees, bushes and dines be assembled in one great arbore- tum that have been planted throughout the country on Arbor day. Grand chil- &ren of those who were in school when the idea was first started are today be- 19g interested in the importance of just such activity for the proner appreciation Of trees and thelr perpetuation. It is eminently fitting at this time that Prestdent Hardine should fssue a proc- Mmation in behalf of the observance of the .golden anniversary of the institution of Arbor day which was started In the #late of Nebraska 50 years ago this month, { Arbor day was Intended to prevent the efimination of the trees by setting out mew omes where #t was belleved they wers needed or by renlacing those which had Been removed for one reason or an- other. The bheantification possible throush trees was emnhacized as well as the add- ¢d value which they give to promer: the attfaction to highways and commu- nitles. But a half century after the | starting of Arbor dav there is a demand |y, regardless of what the charges are, for the replacing of the forests that have been so extensively used, and it 1s but natural that there should be a joint ef- fort for the develonment, preservation arid proteetion of forestland culminating th the observance of Arbor day during the week of April 16-22, Avppeal 1s made to the schools to unite in thought and action for the preserva- tion of our common heritage through the arranging of programmes to show that the great waste from forest fires and the national demands unon resources which are being utilized faster than they are being developed. It 1s throush the schools that import- ant thought regardine these matters can be planted In the minds of tha voung, hut it in not solely the school children which need to fully understand tha situation. Arbor day should on s golden anniver~ sary have a message for thoss who can give Immediate attention to the néeds, CANOE FATALITIES, ‘With the coming of evring there disap- |- pears the danger of thin fce, but there afe plenty of new dangérs that imme- dlately rise to take its place.

But there is a dafiger which the experience of others cannot fail to emphasize, and if such ex- perience were allowed to serve as a gulde there would be a considerable re- duetion in the waste of human life. BSuch cannot fail to be appreciated in cenneetion with the reports to the effect that ene boy lost his life and his twe chums narrowly escaped a similar fate in {he Hudson river when they tried out 2 ¢akoe which overturned.

Scrapping the vessols which afé t6 bé disposed of under the naval treaty pre- sents ne small problem, There are 17 old battleships to be junked together with some which have not been finished and it remains to be determined what will be the most advantageous mannér of ais- posing of them.

That would put an end to thém once and for,all in ae- cord with the treaty tegms, but it weuld also mean an absolute waste of the ma- terial of which they aré Gonstructed. In- asmuch as men would he employed to produce steel, jron and brass for other purposes theré is no good reason why they should not be employed in taking these vessels to pieces and utifizing this material for sueh purpeses as it would ordinarily be used In the channels of trade. It could be worked over into ether ships, into leecemotives, Inte rafls or ploughshares, It is pleasing to learn that the dispo- sitfon of naval experts is to Scrdp the ships for suéh use of thé matérial as may develop instead of seuttling them, I' is certainly time to avold any waste that can be prevented. It is bad enough to have the ecostly material go for junk prices but it is preferable to absolutely throwing it away. That there is a difference of opinion as to the manner in which thé serapping should be done causés ho gurprise. Nat- urally it must be studied with a view to getting the best results. There must be efficiency in serapping quite the same as in any other effort and the method by which the govefnmeént cdn get the most out of It should be employed. It is a good idea when thought -is given to keeping those employéd who have been thrown out 6f jobs because of the curtailed aavy yard operations, and it would seem to be a désirable method if they could be set to work stripping the ships and cutfing them up, provided it is belléved by those in a position to Know that this would bring the greatest returns to the governmeént.

Uncle Sam has a right t6 expect t6 gt as blg a return from the scrap pile as possible, MORE COURT MACHINERY. Those who are standing in the way of the appointment of the number 6f jadges believed to be necessary to properly han- dle the business of the federai courts are aiding in the continuation of that clogged condition which makes it impos- sible to carry out the propér énforce- ment of the law. Where it has been foudd that thers have been an insufficient number of agents to deal with the business of boot- legging more have been added and the number of United States commissioners likewise increased, but the better atten tiorn to business through this improved machinery doesn't overcomé the sftua- tion on the féderal court docket in the various districts. When cases are made ready for the court, only to have the alleged violators of federal laws return to theif past practices and get no summons from the federal court for a dispodition of theéir cases, it becomes evident that business is plling up faster than it can be prop- erly handled. Efforts have been made to clear up dockets by “bargain day” ar- rangements, but that doésm't leave 4 good impression fér law énfaréemeént even in the minds of the guilty. By the delays in being brought to trial of by the rushing through of the casés at the rate of one a minute to disposé of them scmehow, the jmpression can be easily gained that the violations were inconse: Guehtial and the penalty nothing'fc be feared.
