CURRENT
COMMENT
The election is over, and no par
tisan comment upon it is intended.
A single fact stands out prominent
ly and cannot be controverted. One
party elected many more candidates
than the other. Using the common
place word that falls most readily
from the tongue, the result of the
contest is called a landslide. The
term is appropriate in that many
were buried, politically and tempor
arily at least, and in that the sur
face of the office-holding soil was
changed considerably in appear
ance. That, however, is something
that concerns only those who put
party affiliation above all else. The
Democrat may rejoice and the Re
publican may lament, but it is nei
ther to the democrat nor the re
publican, as such, that these words
are addressed. Who won is a mat
ter that is entirely immaterial to
the present discussion.
a landslide is a movement of a
mass of earth.' The earth must be
there or there can be no landslide.
The earth, in the instance under
consideration, was the voting pub
lic. The leaders on b6th sides re
cognized that fact. Otherwise there
would have been no campaign and
the voters would have gone to the
polls under no more external pres
sure and with no more demonstra
tion than attends the getting of li
cense tags for autos.
The lesson of every election is
that, until our established system of
government is changed, the politic
ians, regardless of party, are power
less in the face of the people. The
existence of the mobile voting earth
must be acknowledged, and the
landslide, great or small, must be
awaited. Structures may be erect
ed but it is the earth that supports
them, and the earth is not eternally
stable. The outcome of an election
is more than a triumph or a defeat.
It is a warning to victor and van

quished alike that in the long run
the party does not have the say, and
that for the politician there is no
continuing city of refuge.
Fifty thousand persons flock to
the funeral of a slain gunman. A
public official who has spent a long
and useful life at his desk gets a
line in the papers to the effect that
so-and-so “has another birthday.”
A philosopher of the cynic school
would draw the conclusion that the
proper way for a man to get atten
tion from his fellows is to raise as
much perdition as possible and die
young, with his boots on.
At a political gathering in Penn
sylvania, a score' were wounded and
four killed. In Germany, a dying
woman leaves her bed to vote. Shoot
ing voters of the opposing party is
hardly to be countenanced. Those
who were killed might better have
run, and lived to vote another day.
The German woman acted unwise
ly. Yet, upon the whole, perhaps
the country would be better off if
there were more who took politics
seriously and set a life-blood value
upon the franchise.
Just now the papers are featur
ing the winning of large sums at
this, that or the other sweepstakes.
It is questionable whether the broad
casting of such news is to be ap
proved. Without going into the
moral aspects of the situation, and
leaving each man free to play penny
ante or stake his homestead at draw
poker if his conscience permits him
to do so, gaming is economically
wrong. History records no sound
and beneficial system whereby mon
ey can be passed from hand to hand
in that way.
An earthquake is reported to have
visited California at 6:39, a state
ment which certainly is not of gen
eral application. On either side of a
thin line running through the shak
en area it was not 6:39. Timekeep
ing is a hard job. In the first place,
nobody’s watch is right. If it could
be made to run with perfect mech
anical accuracy, it would show the
correct time for a man’s office, but
not for his house a mile away. Even
the sun fails as a time keeper. Some
times he is as much as sixteen min
utes off in one direction, and again
he is off an equal amount the op
posite way. The civilized world ac
cumulated so much time error that
eleven days had to be disposed of
bodily, back in 1752, by. calling the
third of September the eleventh.
The more thoroughly a person stud
ies the time problem, the more com
plicated does the situation appear.
There seems to be a way out, how
ever. If one wishes to set. a day,
hour and minute upon which to
base calculations for running the un
iverse, all that he has to do is to
take the date on which his note at
the bank falls due, or the last day
for paying taxes. Those are two in
stances in which the possibility of
an error in time is never conceded.

DID YOU EVER
STOP TO THINK

EDSON R. WAITE
i'he sound sense of the great Am
erican people cannot be questioned,
but our progress depends to a large
degree upon the awakening of pub
lic confidence and the development
ol better business.
You should not try to beat a train
to a railroad crossing. You can’t
always do it.
A lot of careless remarks are
made by Our politicians that are
not warranted by facts. They
should think twice before they
apeak.
Without doubt your city could
make an impression on people liv
ing elsewhere by placing in their
hands a copy of this newspaper. It
reflects the spirit of progress of
your city. After you read it today,
mall it to some friend or acquant
ance far away.
.
'
In some countries it seems that
the faddists and idealists hail the
wildest aspirations of dreamers as
the solution of all problems.
Among the greatest assets a city
should have are cleanliness, beauty,
enterprise, far-sightedness, and a
spirit to do greater things.
When the next war comes, those
of fighting age will fight, just as
they always have done—and those
who dodge the fighting will make
money, just as they have always
done.
When you give the people facts,
they will do their own arguing and
deciding.
