Travelled much, and is not given TO rl-con-
sidered fault-fnding or petty crouch.

owner, proud Of Washington. and Jealous

The Light Vote.

The general report from the States
holding elections last week was OF
light vote. When it is recalled
that even in a contested election
A large section Of the voters never
cast a ballot. the proportion of vot-
ers who attach no value to the fran
chise privilege for which the faith
ers fought is seen to be very large
PROPOSITIONS to compel voters to cast
a ballot are not worth consideration,
because a vote cast under compui-
sion cannot represent any intelligent
interest, and would add to the COL
lective wisdom Of the electorate. A
better proposition would be to sus-
pend the right of suffrage from any
man who failed to exercise 1t several
years running. unless he could show
that he was sick. This sodden in
difference to the duties and privlleg-
es of citizens is one of our worst
problems. There is little use in
conferring this privilege on classes
of citizens who are too sluggish OF
mind and heart to exercise il. Many
of those who vote give scarcely a
thought to consideration OF the is
sues involved.

Advertising That Pays.

The movement to prevent the dis
figuring of scenery by huge adver'
ltising signs deserves success. That
such signs do mar the landscapes and
are offensive to everyone who has
any sense of beauty few will ques
tion. AS business experiment they
are not a success. Investigation
proves that of all forms OF adver-
tising they produce the poorest re-
suits while newspaper advertising
produces the best.
This is not to be wondered at. The
making and painting of signs IS ex-
pensiye and when made the wording
remains unchanged. For that rea-
son the novelty soon wears away and
they attract no attention except by
their unsightliness.
With newspaper advertising 1t IS
different. The paper goes regularly
into the home to be read by all.
Everybody reads the eads and knows
exactly what they represent. Inc
advertiser changes the style and
wording of his ad whenever he pleas
es and is therefore able in attract
i've ways to acquaint the public with
the character and variety or
his goods and with the
special bargains he has OF
fer from time to time. Therefore
far above all other forms of adver-
tising the local paper is the best
medium for bringing the buyer and
the seller together.
