R. and Mrs. Voter Give seri thought to the following figures In 1896, 80 per cent of the eligible voters of the country Voted. Tn 1900, 73 per cent cast their ballots fent voted. In 1912, 62 per cent voted. In 1920, less than 50 per cent of those eligible to vote Went to the polls! Within the last decade there has been a retrogression of civic conscientiousness, a failure on the part of a large number of good citizens to perform their duty of citizen- ship. Were you one of the 25,000,000 fn 1920? Voting is a privilege as well as a duty. is November 4. Vote as you please—but—VOTE! In 1908, 66 per who failed to vote Election day “Free Speech” HHIL LA FOLLETTE, son of Senator Bob, went to Waterloo, Iowa, to make a speech for the progres- Bive ticket the other day. * He was refused permission to speak in the auditorium of East Waterloo high school—because the republican bosses objected. " He was refused permission to speak in the Blackhawk founty courthouse at Waterloo—also because the repub- Tican bosses objected. + It didn’t make any difference, of course, that the peo- own these structures, built by the money of tax- , and that they were public buildings, or that ere was no other adequate hall in town. These things happened in the land where we boast of ®ur free speech and free institutions. So Phil went out to.the ball park in the evening and talked under the stars, in the dark, to a huge and en- usiastic audience made up of the folks whose taxes iit the public buildings. Success the Exception NLY one song in a thousand makes a hit and brings big profits to the publishers and writer, says E. C. . He’s chairman of the American Society of Com- Posers, Authors and Publishers. ¢ i Many will be surprised that so few songs go over big. yet the situation is no different than in other lines work. For every one who succeeds,.a thousand or re fail outright or at best never reach more than very mild success. Success is the exception, failure the rule. More profit- Bble to study failures and try to figure why they failed, to analyze the careers of the rich and famous, What to do is quite as important as what to do. “Volunteers” VERWORKED government employes are being held up for campaign contributions, The collectors naively nd the linen is spot. and rhyme whether ting | rom ins that such contribs are “voluntary.” { Which reminds us of a story. In one of the periodical revolutions which visit Central ica, a regimental commander sent word to the leader the revolt that he would have to have reinforcements. i The next morning the reinforcements were herded into ip. With them came a note from the rebel chief, , “Dear Colonel,” it began. “I herewith send you 50 unteers. Please return the ropes.” i Talk Won’t Do JEOPLE who cause fires by carelessness should be pun- ished by courts, argues the state fire marshal of achusetts. He thinks the careless man cannot be @onverted into a careful man simply by telling him to be careful. , This is direct reasoning without any bunk. A penalty not always a preventive. But it helps. It’s the kick a live wire that keeps people away. Carelessness be- es ethically criminal when it endangers the lives or ‘operty of others, “aid the mystery room in the house, one might say; a room that just} stands there unused.
