1t takes several days to find out that

How gladly would men fly to wo-

woman's feelings, trials, sensibilities,
and peculiar organic disturbances.
Those things are known only to
women, and the aid a man would give

RESPECT THE BALLOT.
Politicians ConspirC 10 Overthrow
the Will of the People.

Government in the United States Is
founded On the will of the people honestly
registered at the polls. All parties subscribe
to this vital principle. No party ever or
ganized in this nation has denied it. When
conspiracies are formed to weaken or de-
stroy this fundamental law of the republic
they cannot be called partisan in the ordi-
nary sense of the word. The machinery Of
a party may be seized to further plots
against the ballot. but no avCwal of the pur-
pose can be found in any platform adopted
throughout our history. Elections are never
perverted by any movement springing from
the people. They will never take such action
until they wish to abdicate their sovereignty.
A plea to respect the saCrednesS of the ballot
is not, therefore, to be specially directed to
any party as a whole. The majority of all
are for fairness at the polls. Tampering
with the verdict there cuts down the pre-
r~ogative of every American citizen. Only a
few individuals relatively are interested in
office. But every American who can vote is
profoundly concerned in the power and
dignity of this highest Of political functions.
When reckless politicians. caring nothing
for the rights of the people, fortify them
selves to such an extent that they can over
ride popular majorities they represent their
own narrow circle and not the American
masses. They are public enemies. Party
feeling may run to such extremes that a
weak and thoughtless element, along with
the venal, may aid the conspirators for a
time, but the solid body of honest, honor
able, patriotic men is against them. AS a
rule, the people of this country await the
true expression of opinion at the polls in
perfect good faith. They believe that the
many are wiser than the few and that there
is a weight in popular judgment far beyond
that of the individual. The people can be
trusted. Under their supreme decisions the
right in the end is sure to prevail. Every
safeguard must be thrown around the ballot
to make it count one, neither less nor more.
