SATURDAY AT NINE
THE CONTEST ENDS

Next Saturday night it will be all
over but the shouting. That will
be done later, for, until the last OF
the votes entitled to be counted and
recorded are in, there cannot be a
decision. There is no telling at this
time who will be the happy ones and
who will be among the disappointed
ones. The contest manager does not
know, nor does anyone else. Rumors
of what candidate may have in the
way of votes will be circulated but
such stories should be regarded as
with little foundation.
Each contestant has the only
exact knowledge of his own stand
ing. The reason for this is obvious
The votes that are issued on sub
scriptions go to the candidates and
he may vote same or hold them in
reserve. No one can know what
the real strength OF another may be
until the final count on Wednesday
evening.
All ballots coming in after We'd
nesday will be deposited in the bal
lot box and remain there until the
judges take charge OF the contest
This makes it impossible for anyone
to know what is the exact voting
power OF another. or what changes
may be made in the standing, since
the last published count appears
Wednesday.
For all that the contest depart
ment knows some of the candidates
that have not been in the running
up to this time, may receive enough
votes these closing days to place
them in prominent position. And
then again they may be in the also
ran" class.

Rumors Are Many

Speaking OF rumors, however.
there is much talk OF several dark

some of the districts there are open

Men are kept orderly, clean and de-

quiousness to social opinion which the
prophets OF individualism are In such
haste to deplore, writes G. w. Firkins
in the Atlantic Monthly. The social
code no doubt always involves much
inadequacy, much stupidity, some hy-
pocrisy and some wickedness; but.
taken by and large, the average of its
prescriptions has probably been higher
in every age than the average of un-
directed and unfettered individual i'm
