day on which the National Prison

principal means by which the penal
system and its administration may
be improved. Among the reforms
which II advocates are the following:

does that registers another's will
and betrays himself and the rest of

They are confessing themselves po-
litical nincompoops. Their" party
isn't their party; it's the boss party
and 1t is his because a lot of good,

boss doesn't support the whole

that is why he rules. He is corrupt,
and that is why his rule Is corrupt
His interest is to sell us out to the
highest bidder, and that is why our
government today represents priv.

A representative democracy Is al
ways at war. Representing the com.
mon interests Of all, its enemies are
the special interests OF few. Each
election is a battle, the line OF vot.
ers is the firing line, and the ballots
are bullets. The first advice for a
first voter is. therefore, to vote. Let
nothing prevent. No matter what
the issue is, or the weather; nc
matter what the inconvenience may
be. or the cost, or the danger, let
him get to the firing line and vote
Not as duty. though 1t is a duty;
not as q privilege, though 1t Is Q

first ballot to help and to hurt, and
to register his will. Once he knows

lightly forego It, Something to fight

advice to the first voter Is to join
now and belong always to that unor-
ganized minority known in politics
as the shifting vote. II few men
in each ward throughout the whole
country would go quietly to the
polls at every election and deposit q
secret ballot faithfully for he men
or the party that promised, in the
voters honest judgment, to serve
best the common interests Of all OF
us, we should soon have q repre-
sentative democracy again.
OF course, 1t often may seem hard
to choose the better men or the bet
ter side; both may be equally bad,
or the "outs" may be worse than
the "ins." That is q common prob
lem, easily solved. My last advice
Is for all voters: II the men and the
party that are in do not represent
you perfectly, throw them out; II
there is nothing to vote for, vote
against. The politicians will soon
see that something is the matter,
and they will inquire, and they will
find out-what? That there is q
demand for good government, and,
being politicians, they will supply
the demand.
