To Vote Is a Duty, Not a Privilege

MO citizen has a right to stay
away from the polls. The
sin of doing nothing Is the
deadliest of the seven deadly sins.
We can no more neglect the plain
duties of citizenship than we can
refuse to pay our debts. Indeed,
the discharge of the duties OF
citizenship is in essence the pay
ment of a debt, a debt the more
sacred because one which only
honor can enforce. Our comfort,
our safety. our liberty, the edu-
cation Of our children, the we'll
being of the home. the priceless
boons of religion. have been won
for us by the unhonored toll of
the obscure, the silent and the
dead. 1t is dishonest to accept
and enjoy blessing for which we
have not labored while refusing
to contribute a share Of unseltish
service to the common stock. A
man who can say, 81 am not
interested in politics" and means
by this that he is not Interested

Challenge Of the City" was pub
lished in 1907. He quotes what he
describes as warning of James
Bryce. He says that a few years
ago as company of Americans
were about to sail for the United
States Mr.. Bryce said to them:
Go back to your splendid world
across the sea; but don't you
make a failure of It. You can not
go on rs years more in your great
cities as you have been doing
Don't you do 1t. If you do, you
will set us Liberals back in Eu-
rope 500 years"
This may or may not be a fair
report of Mr.. Bryce's words. But
in his own monumental "Ameri-
can Commonwealth" the problems
of city government are discussed
at length. The new and revised
edition of 1910 repeats the ter
rible summing up of the original
work published % years before:
There is no denying that the
government of cities Is the one
conspicuous failure OF the United
States"
None the less Mr.. Bryce re-
fuses to take a pessimistic view
of the future, His Anal words
nnn, tho S,,hiart ara.
"All this is discouraging Yet
no one who studies the munich
pal history Of the last decades
will doubt that things are better
than they were 25 years ago. The
newer frames of government are
an Improvement upon the older.
Rosues are less audacious. Good
citizens are more active. Party
spirit is still permitted to domi-
nate and pervert municipal poll
cies, yet the mischief II does Is
more clearly discerned. and the
number of those who resist II
daily increases. In the increase
of that number and the growth
of a stronger sense of civic duty
rather than In any changes OF
mechanism lies the ultimate hope
for the reform OF city govern
ments.'

Current Comment
-FOUR eATTLEsHlPs NEEDED

(From the Washington Post.)
Three battle ships and possibly
four will be recommended in the
annual report of the Secretary
of the Navy, according to all in
dications. Four will be none too
many The addition would not
mean that we were increasing our
naval program. 1t would merely
mean that we were repairing the
negligence of the past, when Con-
gress, instead of appropriating
for two battleships, in accord
ance with the national necessity,
appropriated only for one.
The Democratic party provided
only one battleship last year, and
only one the year before. If faith
is to be kept with the people, four
must be provided this year to
make UP for the deficiencies of
the past. The blows at our navy,
delivered by Congress, have not
caused our stock to go up in the
opinion of the nations Of the
world.

Victories of Violence Are Transient
By EBERT HUBBARD

IERE is thought penned in
I'll kindness, for Mi-Lady Mil
liant by one who believes in
her Cause, but who deprecates
her methods.
The victories of violence are
transient.
Things done in hate have to be
done all over.
And she who smears hand-rails
with tar, puts muriatic acid into
mail boxes, places bombs in an
art gallery, burns hay barns,
smashes windows, defies the po-
lice. and is taken TO Jail, must
face the consequences of her mis-
deeds, Wst as if she were male
man.
Two wrongs do not make a
right.
Even though the woman wins
by violence, her victory is bought
at the price of her womanhood.
Righteous wrath is often an
excuse for bad temper.
Hatred of the wrong soon yields
a diminishing return.
We become like the thing we
hate-aye, more, we are the thing
we hate.
Mi-Lady Militant hates the
tyranny of the male. Granting
that this tyranny exists, it has
grown up out of the centuries,
and has been fixed in the ages by
usage. 1t was old when Abraham
bRrtered with Laban for Rachel,
and was a habit when Ruth
CLEANED the fields of Boaz.
American women have been
wise in not resorting to militant
methods.
Fighting men acquire the fight
ing face.
The termagant grows 10 look
the part.
Her dominant attitude becomes
one of superciious contempt, not
love. Eventually she is unloving,
unlovely and ENJOYABLE, and the
fighting attitude, continued, Will

ing becomes a habit, an excuse
for fighting is easily found

Carlyle hated the wrong: En-

The persistence Of Mi-Lady

good of the Cause is beautiful Just
in the degree that you admire

But please remember that mar

He who Is willing to suffer and

If he gets the chance.
Law protects the life and prop

This applies also, in degree, to
men.
But to repudiate the law, be-
cause the law does not do all it

order to win a legal victory. is
playing the part of mental de-

Harm must follow such tactics,
since it supplies in itself an ar

ability TO abide by the law is the
test OF fitness for citizenship. Be-
fore you are nit to give orders
you must show your ability to
take them.
To shoot up the law is no bet

~ A LOST LOVE y
BY WILLIAM E. KIRK.

THE wine Is spilled drunk by the thirsty ground
And gone forever from the lips that burned;
There Ia more that be newly urned;
No vintage half is ever found.
The glass is broken into brittle bits
Scattered upon the dusty banquet floor;
The empty bottle near the door
Is cobwebsealed where the gray spider fits
The garands are grotesquely dead and dry
AS mummied tresses In ancient tomb:
Like ghostly sheets they rustic in the gloom
When memory's searching zephyrs hurry by
For it has been las it shall ever be-
That glorious loves have persisted al high noon;
That bounding pulses deaden with the swoon
Which lowered above Gethsemane.

THE return of William F.
McCombs from Paris with
the rejected French Am
bassadorship on his hands brings
once more to the front the prac-
teal exclusion of high-class
Americans from important diplo-
matte posts unless they are rich
men.
Mr.. McCombs Is not now in a
position to be compelled to de-
cline the French Ambassadorship
but 1t is an open secret among
his friends that his essential rea-
son in the beginning for refusing
this dazzling honor was because
the salary Of s17,5oo, Joined to his
own income, was not deemed suf-
ficent for him to fill this place &C
ceptably.
In other words, through long
process of elevating rich men to
foreign missions, we have come
to the sorry pass that no Amer
lean of whatever social or moral
caliber either can or thinks he
can represent the interests of his
country at the seat of q Euro

This is the real discreditable

mitted to exist at all unless it has
a surplus OF dollars to gid its
existence.
