sense of personal responsibility for the

all know. however, that in point of
fact political organizations are very
largely composed of those who have
drifted into their membership without
the least independent consideration of
party principles, as related to the gen.
eral welfare of the country and the
peoples needs. Manv of these have
no better reason for belonging to one
party instead Of another than the fact
that their fathers belonged there be-

"Why a Young Man Should Vote the
Democratic Ticket"
We often hear it said that our gov
ernment is a government by party.
This is absolutely true when construed
to mean that parties are the agencies
through which the popular will is eff
fectively made known. 1t is also true
III a general way when it signifies that
through the instrumentalities of par
ties certain governmental measures
are inaugurated and certain principles
made the guides of governmental ac-
ton. Thus considered, party mem
bership and the existence of party Or
ganizations are not only legitimate,
but seem to be actually necessary TO
the operation of the machinery of our
With this view of par
tisanship in mind it has always ap-
reared to me that a young man is
euga ged in serious business when in
the first stages of mature citizenship
he is considering his future political
aff1iliation and making choice of the
party to which he will attach himself
7 cannot escape the feeling that the
final determination of these matters
by a new voter makes a sort of modi
fed REIMBURSEMENT of his freedom of
judgment, and his subsequent Subiu-
gat'on to influences which dilute inde-
pendent action. The assumption of
party relationship will necessarily
color his view of political subjects and
give to his consideration of public af-
fairs a leading which t will be hard
entirely to shake off. These conditions
are due in part to the unacceptable in

1t is, therefore, on every account, OF
the utmost importance that the young
voter should not make Il false start,
and that in settling upon his party
membership he should not only avail
himself of all the freedom of thought
and unbiased judgment still at his
command, but should also bring to his
aid an intelligent apprehension of ma
tional conditions and a studious ex-
animation of the principles and ten
CiencieS of the parties open to his en-
trance. and all this should be supple
mented by the guidance of a pure con-
science and an untarished patriotism

and as vital as that rendered in War

WILL GIVE THEM PAY
THIS YEAR AT LEAST
Once More the Question of Arsenal
Workmen Labor Day Re-
Enumeration.

There has been posted an order at
Rock Island arsenal containing the
information that President Roose-
welt has rescinded the ruling of
the comptroller of the treasury to the
effect that government wOrkmen were
not to receive pay 10. Labor day I'M
less they performed the same service
on that day as on any other day during
the week.
The apparent purpose of the admin
istratiOn to offset the political effect
of the cOmptrOllers ruling is seen in
the fact that the announcement of the
presidents action has been sent to the
newspapers through the republican ma
tiOnal committee.
Politics or no politics, the men at the
arsenal are gratified over enforcing
the recognition of Labor day by the
government. Since congress declared
Labor day a national holiday the men
at the government works had always
received pay until this year.
Consequently, there was much sur
prise when the ruling of the treasury
department was made against them.
and it is Of course in response to the
righteous protest of labor all over the
land that the president has felt CON
strained 10 act. When the comptroller
of the treasury issued the order deny
ing the men the Labor day pay. it was
announced that the position thus as
sumed was sustained by legal author
ity. The treasury department being Il
part of the administration, and receiv-
ing its advice in the premises from
sources also i'll accord with the admin
istratiOn, the question that now arises
is who acted within the provisions of
his Office under the law. the cOmptrol-
Ter in his stand against the men
or the president, in allowing the
pay for this year, regardless of it.
Surely the position of the treasury de
Fartment in the first place would not
have been taken without fully cOnSid-
ering the outcome of establishing SO
important a precedent. nOtwitIstand-
ing that it was one never before
thought of. Perhaps, however, even
the administration did not realize fully
what the effect would be until after it
was done, or was the whole business,
as has already been charged, Il con-
cOcted plan TO give the president OppOr-
tunity for a little grandstand play?
At any rate, the men get their pay
