party workers can perform-getting
the voters registered and then getting
them out to vote. A full registration
and vote Is desirable at all elections
but more particularly at a national
election where the destinies of the
country may be at stake. And so 1t
is grave duty that every man owes
to his fellow men and himself to
qualify for the casting of his vote by
registering, in order that the vote on
election day may be as complete as
possible and accordingly an absolutely

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

In New York a dashing and rather
attractive young woman, in whose case
the course of love, true or inconstant,
has been thickly f1ecked with white
caps. has filed an application for all
mony of ten thousand dollars a month
and a counsel fee of fifteen thousand
dollars pending the trial of her suit for
separation from an extremely rich and
self-indulgent husband. At present it
appears in evidence that she is subsist-
ing or, to be more exact, existing on a
beggarly two thousand dollars a month
and obviously is unable to make both
ends meet. And an adjournment has
been ordered. to the end that an in
quiry may be instituted into the per-
sonal habits of the fair petitioner
There are intimations that she is given
to overindulgence in various ways and
extravaganza.
This is a perverse and, 1t may be
feared. a somewhat crooked generation,
particularly where hard-headed law
yers and unsympathetic and more or
less impractical justices are concerned.
If it develops that the department of
this unfortunate woman is not invaria-
bly, and exceptionally correct; that she
looks upon the wine when it is amber,
when it's tiny bubbles rise and hiss and
break within the cup; that she enter
tains lavishly; that her table is laden
with costly viands and that she is ac-
customed to surround herself with all
the luxuries known to a prodigal and
ingenious civilization, 1t will follow, as
surely as night follows the day, that
those who have been elected to cast
the die that seals her fate will rule that
the aforementioned stipend OF two
thousand dollars a month must suffice,
regardless of consequences to her en-
tourage and to herself. 1t is the way
of the world, the left-handed, unrea-
sonable way OF an unthinking world.

tial to comparative comfort and happi-

REGISTRATION.

A duty to themselves and duty to
their country lies before many men
making Topeka their home. They are
unregistered and are therefore not en-
titled to vote in the coming
presidential and state elections which
occur a trifle earlier this year than
usual. on November 8, to be exact.
They will have an opportunity to
register on any and every day. except
Sundays, of course, from now until
October 23 at 10 O'Clock on the night
of that day at the Office of the COM
missioner of elections in the audi
torium building. The failure to par
ticipate by voting in the recent state
primaries does not invalidate mans
right to vote or require him to register
again provided he voted at the last
regular election in the city, but the
men who did not vote then and who
do not register before October % will
not be permitted to exercise that Won
derful and powerful franchise which
has been placed in their hands by the
establishment of Republican form of
government in this nation.
If all men were as fully alive as they
should be to their civic duties the
mere newspaper announcement that
the time for registering was at hand
would be enough. But there are
many who are Indifferent or careless,
and need an urgent remainder. And
these are generally of the class who
are ever free to express their opinions
that this is a government where the
people do not rule in fact. They for
get and fail to register and to vote,
and then they are loudest in their
denunciation of men being elected to
office through the activity of political
machines or other agencies. Surely if
every voter would take advantage of
the opportunity that is presented to
him to cast his ballot on election day
for the candidates and the parties that
he believes will best carry out his
ideas as to how the government of the
nation or the state should be con-
Quoted, majority of the voters would
then decide in as equitable a way as
it can possibly be determined the
policy of the government. Their ideas
as expressed at the polls would be
controlling in the administration of
governmental affairs unless the men
that they selected to act for them in
the handling of these affairs proved
false to their trust. And this does
not often happen nowadays. Candi-
dates of all parties may generally be
depended upon to carry out the
policies and principles which they are
known to advocate to the best of their
abilities, and more than that cannot
be expected of any man, even a can
didate for a high Office or a small one,
although frequently much is expected
of them which is actually beyond the
powers of mere man,
The number of men in this city,
who have not qualified to vote by
