INDIFFERENCE OF CITIZENS.

According tu unofficial cnm- pilatiOnS. nf the vote cast for president of the United Stales this year, there seems in he d striking indilfcr nee nn the part of the electUralr--an indifference which has been commented upon hy some of the more prominent newspapers as indicating dan- ger to the republic and the perm hncnce of our institutions.
 The total vote this year, ac- cordinG to these figures, is plac- cd at l3, ,92 ,0O0. of which Taft received 3,536. .O0O; Ro"Scvclt l,- t93,O00 and Wilson 5,i9I ,0OO. This vote when compared with that boiled ill 1908 shows the fol- lowing result: Taft 7.G78. .000. Bryan 6, ,iO9. .O00, a total. in round numbers. of 1880, ,OOO, or nearly a million more than were pnlled this year. It. will he noticed, however, that no account is taken of the Socialist vote this year or four years ago, the estimated vote this year being i,O0O,000.
 The census bureau places the number of native or naturaliZed Amer ican male citizens above the age of 2t years at 26,990,I57, and added to this thare was something over one million American wO- men who had the right to vote in fhe recent election. These figures, thdn, show that less than one half of the persons entitled to vote failed to take advantage of the franchise.
 It is this fact that inIpcllcd the New York Times and other influ- ential American newspapers tO fake pcSSimistic view of the situation and t0 bcwail tho lack of Interest thus manifested in national politics by more than one-half of the total number of American voters. Another news paper remarks:
 ''1' would seem that the great est problem now before ihis c0un- try is moi. as iS falsely assumed, The problem of bringing the gov Prnncnt more closely home to inc people. by making il more democratic in form. but the prob lem of how Io induce the pr0- pie LO rXerriS' the power of gov crnmc with which they are now intrlISIcd."
