MORE VOTERS, FEWER VOTES.
Boston Herald.l

in the latest issue of The City Rec
ord, the enterprising official publica-
ton of Boston, there is a tabulation
showing the number of registered vot-
ers and the number of votes cast at
each municipal election since 1890.
The steadily decreasing interest of the
voters during that period does not re-
fleet credit on the city, and it helps to
account for a good many unfortunate
things that have happened and for
which Boston has paid dearly.
In 1890, for example, with $500 reg
istered voters, there were 55677 votes
cast, or S1,76 per cent At the latest
election, with 112,126 registered vot-
ers, only 46,843 votes were cast, or
41.7S per cent. To be sure, the recent
election was not contest for the
Mayorality, and it may be pointed out
with pride that 8542 per cent. of the
registered vote was cast in 1910 But
a comparison by ten year periods is
fairer. For the past ten years an av-
erage of 65.67 per cent. of the regis
tered vote has been cast at Boston
municipal elections; for the ten years
before that period the overage was
1871.

the committees, to the end that the
dominant or majority element of the
whole senate might rule.
We are told, however, that the re-
dictionaries, who contribute hopeless
minority in the senate, are likely to
block legislation and prevent the pol
icies of the Wilson administration from
being carried out, and that for this
reason that group of reactionaries,
having the power to do great harm,
will have to be reckoned with. The
suggestion has been made that the re-
dictionary democrats may conspire
with the reactionary republicans and
in this way prevent all progressive leg
islatiol.
The other side of this proposition
furnishes view that is, at least graf
flying. There is the friendliest re-
lationship existing between President
Wilson and Senator La Toilette. The
latter is a progressive republican, and
is in sympathy with the plans and
purposes of the democratic admins
tration. There stand behind him Il
group of progressive republicans who
would refuse to affiliate with a fusion
of reactionary democrats and republic
cans. There would be no incentive for
them to do so, but, on the other hand,
if such AN alliance should take place
it is more than probable that there
would be an opposing alliance of the
republican progressives with the pro-
gressive democrats, with the result
that President Wilson's progressive
policies would be carried out.
To our mind it would be inevitable
that in the vent of a reactionary COM
bination between republicans and
democrats there would at once ensue
an alliance between the progressive
of the two parties.
No doubt the reactionary democrats
will avert crisis at this time by
standing firmly and faithfully with
their party, especially as their break
ing away would in its effect on legis-
lation have the same result.

SENTIMENT FOR BONDS Is GROW.
ING

1t is most encouraging to the friends
of school bonds TO know that sentiment
in favor of bonds is rapidly spreading.
Within the past few weeks there has
been growing here very widespread
and decided sentiment in favor Of
bonds.
The organization of the Parent
Teacher association is one factor il
this work. This organization, though
less than a month old, has already e&-
erted an influence in favor of bonds
that lis most encouraging. The report
of the committee on schools of this as
ISOLATION is given in full elsewhere in
this issue of The mes-Recorder. This
report is fraught with powerful mean
ing to the people of Americas who
are interested in the enlargement and
betterment of the public school system
here.
Every father and every mother in
Americas should read this report 1t
shows to these parents the conditions
under which their children are labor
ing to get an education under the
present adverse circumstances. Poorly
lighted and ventilated school rooms,
insanitary conditions, and other de-
fects are to be remedied to make even
acceptable the schools of the city
where the youngest and most impress
sionable students are being educated
The needs of the local school SYSTEM
cannot be disputed.
They can be remedied, however, and
it should be the pleasure and privilege
of every voter to go out to the polls
next Monday and cast a vote in favor
of bonds. 1t will be step toward
moulding better men and better wo-
men for the future citizenry of Amer.
icus. Who shall say that the soul of
one little child is not more valuable tc
the municipality than all the money
asked for the betterment of the city's
school system?

The TRIUMPH OF PROGRESSIVE
SENTIMENT

1t is gratifying to every honest and
progressive citizen of the United
States to know that the sentiment in
favor of progressive policies in the
Democratic party is predominant in
both branches of the national Cor
gress.
Not only is the fact that this senti-
ment is prevailing a matter of note
but also the fact that such sane and
well poised men have it in their hands
to carry out these policies. AS the
Nashville Tennessean observes:
The progressives in congress, bo,h
in the house and the senate, haze
cleared the way for doing something
effective in undermining legislative
procedure and in enacting such laws
as IhO p0Ople want. 1uey nave 10TH
down and all but destroyed the idols
% bigotry that held the federal con-
gress in bondage.
Two years ago the democrats in the
house took the initiatory in this refor.
nation and Improvement, when they
destroyed the czarism in the speak-
er's chair, and from that time on there
existed an easier way than there had
been to transact business effectively
and in harmony with the dominant
sentiment of that great law-makirg
body.
Now the senate, in its reorganiza
ton, is placing itself in a SIMILAR posi-
ton of advantage and advancement:
The principle of seniority has been
greatly weakened by it's disregard in
certain instances and the recognition
of merit instead. These movments in
both the house and the senate, taken
together, constitute an inspiration u
the progressive wing of the democrat
ic party, for it says plainly that the
abuses that. blocked legislation will NO
| longer be tolerated.
The new order of things in the SEN
ate indicates that hereafter the chat, :
man will be agreeable to the majority
of the committee over which he is
chosen to preside. The tendency is
toward the policy of allowing the
committees to select their own chair
man.
The effect of this would be to allow
the dominant spirit in the senate to
prevail in the committees, and it is a
safe proposition to say that a plan
would be reasonable that permitted
the majority sentiment to prevail in

THE EASTER EGG
(London Lancet.)

1t does not require any shreWd
guess to account for the association
of Eastertide with the egg. In the
days when old customs were, relative
ly speaking, young, neither physiology
nor chemistry has revealed much as
regards the inner secrets of the egg,
but instinct taught that it must from
the very nature of its function be
strong aid toward replacing the waste
of the human body, and it is interest
ing to find that eggs were regarded by
the Church as a blessed food after
fast On Easter Eve and Easter day
all the heads of the families sent great
cha. gers full of eggs to the church for
blessing.
These blessed eggs have the virtue
of sanctifyng the entrails of the
body, and are to be the first fat or
feshy nourishment they take after the
abstinence of Lent"
IL is interesting W COlhPuAS - .
statement with the modern physiolog-
ical view of the food value of the
egg. The absorption of eggs in the
intestinal tract is known to be very
complete, for it has been found that
even when 81 hard-boiled eggs are
taken daily they are absorbed as COM
pletely as meat, only per cent. OF the
dried substance being lost. The direc-
ton of the Church was therefore in
complete harmony with modern scien-
tific views.
The introduction of varied colors
followed, no doubt, the custom of col
oring eggs red to denote the blood OF
Christ. There is, however, some ev-
idece to show that varied colors were
uses in nre-Christian times, and the
red was the color adopted when the
custom was taken over by the Church.
