AN INDRP
!£R
E 'fL OF NOT VOTING
In . u-.resa delivered a few
ri ”7 ro to representatives ot j
Daughters of the American
Revolution, President Coolidge
utt r i warning that should
engage the serious consider
ation oi every American citi
zen.
it w..-. a warning against the
alarm ..gly rapid increase in
the fa ure of citizens to vote.
In thi tendency, said the Pres
ident unless it is checked and
supplanted by a healthy inter
f in < lections, is spelled the
n doom of the republic.
“ahe whole system of Ameri
can vernment rests on the
i. l'o; box ” asserted the Presi
d U less citizens perform
th-- i cities there, such a sys
tem of governmennt is doom
ed to failure.”
The fact that disregard for
duty of voting has steadily in
creased since 1880, was point
ed out In 1896 the number of
qualified voters participating
in elections was 80 per cent
of the electorate. In the 1920
and 1924 presidential elec
tions the average declined to :
less than 50 percent, despite
organized efforts to bring out
the vote.
“The perilous aspect of this
situation,” said the President,
“lies in its insidiousness. With
the broadening of popular
powers, the direct election ot j
practically all public officials,
and the direct nomination of
most of them, there is no op
portunity for an expression of \
the public will, except at the j
ballot box.
“As our resources icrease, as
the relationship between indi
viduals become more intricate,
the government becomes more
Rnd more important
“We do not need to fear a
frontal attack upon it. When
ever the public scents that it
is in danger, it will be quick
enough to give it adequate
support It is only the approach
to some silent and unrecogniz
ed peril that needs to give us
alarm. We are placing our re-1
ilance on the principle of self
government. But if the people
ail to vote, a government will
be developed which is not
their government.”
-o
MAY
No other month has been so
much written about as “the
merry mnth of May.” It might
be called the magic month,
"or legend and tradition con
nect many a tale of romance
with this last month of spring.
Strange beliefs have from
olden times belonged to the
first day of May. Then the
maid may find her lover’s face
n the quietness of hidden pools
and the dew of May Day holds
fairy beauty. Around the May
Pole laughing children dance,
hardly knowning that their
festival began as a relgious
rite, as a dance of thankful
ness for life renewed with
springtime.
WISE JUDGE
In the city of Miami, Okla.,
there is wise judge. We don’t
know his name, but he’s wise.
Nineteen boys were arraigned
before him for perpetrating a
lot of petty thefts. Did he send
them to the reformatory, to
make criminals out of them in
rood earnest? He did not. He
jailed in their parents and had
jach one given a good old-time
anning with hickory. Then he
turned them loose. It’ll be a
long time before those lads
iwipe any more milk bottles.
A LEAGUE RACE
Dr. Mayo, of the famous
Mayo brothers, says walking
is the best exercise that can
be taken. But with 20,000,000
automobiles in the country,
walking will soon become one
of the “lost arts.” Dollar-a
gallon gas, when it comes, may
revive a little fleeting interest
in ambulatory indulgence.
-o
ABOUT ADVERTISING
Newspapers of America pub
lished last year advertis
ing which cost $7950,000,000.
Those who do not believe In
advertising probably think this
huge amount was donated by
kind-hearted, but brainless
business men.

HOW TO BE HATED
Old Ed Howe, the Kansas
wise man, used to tell the
readers of his paper, the At
chison Globe, that the mean
est man in Atchison always
made his family wait until the
January sales to buy their
Christmas presents.
A man in Indiana, it is said,
used to refuse to let his wife
pick the apples for her own
use. “John, she would remon
strate, “there aren’t any of the
half-rotten ones left.’’
“Then wait until some rot,'
this mean old fellow would
snap back at her. “We’re too
poor to eat the good ones.”
Everybody despises a mean
old cuss like those fellows
Women will send flowers to
the jail to bedeck the cell ol
a murderer, a theif may be
given aother chance, but when
a person is just ornery ana
mean, there’s not much sym
pathy for him anywhere. And
the reason is that we are all
idealists, more or less. Tht
rapacious old humbugs of the
old days who acquired a mill
ion or so by more or less shady
methods, found that after all
the best use to which they
could put their money was
the service of mankind. Wt
can forgive almost anything ir
our fellow-creatures but small
ness of soul.
Every man and woman wht
really wants the good opinior
of their neighbors need noi
possess the entire calendar ol
virtues. Just generosity, that’s
all. Just a little human kinu
ness in one’smakeup will make
other folk overlook the faults
Just For run
Some young men go to college
while others just dress funny
and let it go at that.
Only a man with a good sub
stantial income can afford tc
write poetry.
The man who has no time
for an occasional laugh needs
a vacation.
The man that don’t build
castles in the air, don’t build
any with bricks.
If you stare at a woman, she’ll
say you lack manners. If you
don’t stare at her she’ll say
you lack sense.
Hubby—“I miss the old cus
pidor since it’s gone.”
Wifey—“You missed it bes
fore—that’s why it’s gone.”
The wonder is that any one
ever thought of the phrase
“the quick and the dead,” be
fore the age of automobiles.
SETTLES -PRICE
Breston Settles, of Spring
field, Ohio, and Anna Price,
of Cincinnatti, were married
recently.
This is the time of year that
everybody wants to plow a day
or two except the guy that has
to plow.
Rupert Hughes criticism of
Washington is another illustra
tion of the differece between
fame and notoriety. Washing
ton gained one, and Hughes
the other.
L The cheapest guy we’ve
i heard of for a while gave his
girl a lip stick so that he could
get it all back again when she
thanked him for it.
Spring usually may be de
pended on to bring winter.
The man who doesn’t need
advertising in his business
probably does not need to be in
! business, and usually isn’t for
a very great length of time.
“You seem able-bodied and
healthy,” she remarked cold
ly; “you ought to be strong
| enough to work.”
| “True enough, lady,” he re
plied. “And you seem beauti
ful enough to be in the mov
ies, but evidently you prefer
the simple life.”
Her cold jlook vanished and
she gave him a good meal.
A guest in a Cincinnati hotel
was shot and killed. The negro
porter who heard the shooting
was a witness at the trial.
Prairie Farmer tells the story:
“How many shots did you
hear?” asked the lawyer.
“Two shots, sah,” he replied.
I “How far apart were they?”
“Bout like dis,” explained the
negro clapping his hands with
an interval of about a second
between them.
' “Where were you when the
first shot was fired?”
“Shining a gentleman’s shoe in
de basement of de hotel.”
“Where were you when the
j second shot was fired?”
. “Ah was a-passin’ de Big Fo’
depot.”
One afternoon a stranger de
barked from a train at a hust
ling town in the West and

! headed up the street. Finally
he met a man who looked like
a native.
| “Pardon me,” said the stran
! ger, “are you a resident of
I this town?”
“Yes, sir,” was the rejoinder
of the other. “I have been
here something like fifty
yam What can I do for you?”
"I am looking for a criminal
lawyer,” responded the stran
ger. “Have you one here?”
“Well said the native reflect

can’t prove it on him.
Vanity’s last name is not al

in Detroit paid $800 back ali
mony to keep from going to
prison because there the>

curly hair. Isn’t that just too
dear?
“I can tell without asking
whether John has won or lost
at poker the minute he comes
home.”
| “How?”
| “If he has lost he throws his
| pants across the foot of the
! bed. If he has won he puts
them under his pillow.”

“I am afraid, doctor,” said a
woman to the physician she
had cornered at a reception,
“that my husband has some
terrible mental affliction. I
sometimes talk to him for
hours and then discover he lit
erally hasn’t heard a word I
said.”
“That isn’t an affiction, Mad
am,” was the weary reply.
That’s a divine gift.”
