1t is a saying of Bacon that ''Na
| tons, like individuals, have their
youth, their middle age, their old age
and they have their diseases"
AS nation we are young in years
but old in the elements thot compose
us.
Ethnologically we are about all the
nations of all the world and their de-
scendants.
Zangwill compares us to a melting
pot, in which all nationalities are be-
| ing fused and transformed here on
American soil into new nationality
but We are something more than a
melting pot of nationalities. We are
melting pot, in which all creeds
cults, ideas, ideals, and institutions
are being fused and transformed.
And sometimes the more radical
and revolutionary the creed, cult
idea or ideal boils to the surface-and
that keeps the pot boiling.
After centuries of warfare with
caste, privilege, prerogative, kings
and dynasties, humanity is realizing
here its ultimate ideal and the PEG
pie are supreme.
| But some people are more supreme
than other people, just as they al
ways were; some people are richer
than other people; some people are
wiser than other people; and some
people are healthier than other PEG
| pie, just as they always were; and
some people are going around telling
other people about it and explaining
how all these inequalities are largely
due to the last election, and how much
better it would be for everybody il
Mr. So-Aad-So could be given a polit
ical job, just as they always did.

VOTING MACHINES IN ILLINOIS.
Each Voter to Have Option of Using Ballot, According to Supreme
 Court Writ.

The Illinois Supreme court yesterday at Springfield ordered a writ of man commissioners of Chicago to furnish to all the election precincts in Chicago ballot boxes and voting booths for the election on November 5, together with all other things required by the bal lot law to be furnished. Voting ma chimes can be used in such precincts as the election commissioners have se- lected or may select for their in stallation, but each voter must have the option of voting by the use of the ballots or the machine without sug- gestion or advice of the judges of the election. The court holds that owing to the number of candidates and prop ositions to be voted on the voters can not cast their ballots understandingly by means of the voting machine with in the minute of time allowed by the law.

 CASE SHIFTS TO
 NEW YORK TODAY

New York Oct 2S-The scene of the governments action to determine whether the International Harvester Company is combination in restraint of trade shifted from Chicago to this city today. With Robert S. Tar1er sitting a special examiner, hear ings were begun in rooms 68 and TO in the post office building with score of we'll known New Workers under sub poenaL to tell what they know of the operations of the combination
 The rule put into force at the Chi cago hearings was rigidly enforced here and no person who might become liable to criminal prosecution as the result of developments in the case was permitted to testify. It was ex- pected that most of the evidence taken in this city would deal with business methods of the alleged trust and with it's financial affairs. It was regarded possible, also, that it's export trade might be looked into.
 The government was represented at the hearing today by Edwin P. Gros- venor, chief counsel in charge, assist ed by Joseph R. Darling, special agent Of the Department of Justice. The harvester companys interests were guarded by Judge William D. Me Haugh, who has succeeded Edgar A. Bancroft, who retired from the bench because of ill health; John P. Wilson, former Judge Post of Chicago, and half a dozen other associate counsel.
