A NOTABLE DEVOTION TO CIVIC DUTY.

An old man rs years OF age who is n member of the
United States senate is citizen of Worcester Mass,
In Worcester, the other day special election for
mayor held. This aged senator took the long trip
Washington to Worcester to vote because he held
1t to be the duty of every citizen participate in
nicipa elections and exercise his right of suffrage
THE Posi- differs very materially from Senator Hoar
politically 1t has criticised his extreme partisanship
and his not infrequent exhibition of inconsistency
holding way and voting another but It do
otherwise than commend this example he has shown in
the discharge of his duty citizen of the municpa-
~ of Worcester.
Every city suffers from the indifference of hundreds
of its reputable and leading citizens in the matter
their civic duty. As the New York World said the
other day New York itself the largest OF cities
has suffered much and been accused of lacking public
spirit because of It's "better element" have failed
in their devotion to their municipal interests These
men, says the World neglect primaries and other pre-
limnary campaign work because Its no use going,
everything is fixed" They will not even cut short
breakfast dinner hours to go to the polls what S
the odds? I've only one VOTE and the machine is
bound to win" Such and their excuses are behind
the "fxing Of 1t all The machine counts on their ana.
thy and not In vain.
Good government is impossible so long as the good
citizens do not actively seek and stand together
it. Men may abuse local government to their
hearts content but it will be just government
at last they entitled tono better worse
II is always the government that majority of the
voters select and IL hundreds of qualified voters refuse
TO exercise their right of choice they render the
OF the ward politicians and their heelers certain and
have no right to complain of the consequences.

GREETED that he had lived the day when the ord-
nary rights OF citizens denied people living under
the American hag?" Or that Senator Hoar exclaimed
that the legislation proposed by the majority would
wipe the last hope that the Uned States is 10 con-
tinue to work out its great example among the DOWN
trodden people Of the rest of the world?
And after voting down these amendments the SEN
then proceeded to invest the president with abso-
Lutte and unrestricted authority the Philippines
authority complete that of the car OF Russia
over Siberia. We can we'll afford to accept Senator
Hoars statement that this act is pure, simple undi-
luted, unchecked despotism!"
It is safe to say that since the days of the French
revolution no such sudden change of parliamentary
sentiment, governmental policies, has ever over
taken a country within a period of three years.

rs THIS NOT EMPIRE, PURE AND SIMPLE,

SEA II five years ago the amendments which were voted

government of the Philippines had been proposed as
guiding principles in the organization and operation of

Individual senator, much less party majority would
have dared to vote against them.

that the times change and we change with them" no

senate II there remain any citizens In this country
who do not believe that the dominant forces In Ma,

disregard of our older traditions they need only to
glance at the character of the amendments rejected nv
the senate.
First and foremost Senator Vest proposed that "the
action OF this government or it's officials in the Philip.
pines shall be subject to the constitution and laws Of
the United States so far they applicable Ger.
tainly no American would oppose such proposition
But what was the vote? The amendment was rejected
by majority of twenty in the senate of the United

Mr. Pettus offered an amendment that "every per.

power shall take oath to support the constitution
