THE FIRST ELECTION
WAS LONG ORAWN OUT
The Polls Were Kept Open For
Three Weeks in Some
Counties.

Things were different at the first
|. election OF congressman 1875 years
ago. Madison told Washington
that over in Jersey they kept the
polls open for three weeks in some
counties.
Nearly everywhere the voting
continued for many days. The Law
didn't set time limit and voters ar.
gued and delayed. Fancy what some
Of our more skillful political mana
gers might have accomplished at the
past election could they have had
the ballot boxes available for fort
night!
Some men whom we now look
back upon as important characters
of the Revolutionary period were
defeated for Congress at that first
trial. Thus old Samuel Adams EEL
outside the breastworks."
% New York State didn't cast vote
for the first President of the United
States, and during most of the orig.
inal session of Congress she had nc
Senator. In nearly every respect
that initial Presidential and Con.
gressional election was far less sat
fsfactory and represented a much
smaller percentage of the men OF
voting age than will the election
held recently
Although Washington was chosen
President, the voters didn't know
they were electing him. What they
did was to choose uninstructed cleo.
tors who were free to name any man
they favored. But the sentiment OF
America was such that without di-
rect orders from the voters every
one of the SO electors gave his bal
lot for him who 10 years afterward
was designated by a fellow Virgin
ian as first in war, first in peace,
first in the hearts of his country

Bully for you, my boy. Well see
fair play" exclaimed a portly man
with gold-framed eyeglasses. ''They
can't get you back from Jersey, and
you're as free as am. So you'd best
go back quietly" he SAID addressing
the attendant.
Meanwhile the train after one or
two stops, which added to the crowd
and to the excitement also, was ploW-

it slowed to a standstill the two men
stepped off and stood glazing at each
other, while the crowd gathered once
more around them.

HE took off his hat drew fat wal

twenty-dollar bill from it, placing it
in the hat. 'This is going to be the
sweetener," he said: -
Bills and silver coins rained into
the hat from the sympathizing crowd

a NAN alone will accomplish
~ little. All of his thoughts
and acts have a direct re-
lationship to others.
Men succeed only as they work
together.
Without companionship ambi-
ton droops; courage flags, reason
totters, ambition vanishes and the
man dies.
Nature puts quick limit on
the horrors of solitary confine-
ment-she unhinges the reason
of the prisoner, and he addresses
comrades who have no existence
save in his fevered imagination.
The man who does useful work
is in direst communication with
other people-he works for others,
and the thought that he is doing
something for somebody sustains
him.
The "lifer" is always sustained
by the hope of pardon-as long
as he lives he is a part of the
whole, and should it ever come to
him that his case Is a hopeless
one and he is alone, his usefulness
is gone.
Soldiers who are towards by
themselves often fight bravely
when placed on the firing line
with others.
We succeed only as we band
ourselves with others. Each man
is molecule that is needed to
make up the all.
Every man who has accom-
plished much in the world of art,
literature, architecture, finance,
has been aided by good woman.
A man alone Is only half a
man.
Men and women inspire each
other They put each other on
their good behavior.

A group of men alone are
rogues
Women alone are silly.
There is nothing more divine
than the comradeship of a man
and a woman mentally mated
They double their joys and halve
their sorrows by sharing them.
Moving at a like pace, they
move forward hand in hand,
Under these conditions every-
thing is beautiful to them. Even
hardships take on a new view.
and become opportunities for he
roic endurance.
Only lovers laugh. Others grin
and bear it. and some there ba
who bear 1t, but are unable to
grin.
Joyous and jaunty labor is
beautiful, but labor sullen and
sour eats out the heart, slants
the brow, and puts lime in the
bones More than that, melan-
cholia is contagious. I have seen
fear pollute q factory and put a
business to the bad.
A little love and laughter would
have saved it.
When you relax and laugh you
eliminate dead tissue. When you
clutch and hold you farbor tox-
ms.
Yes, men need women and
women need men.
To mate and be loyal TO your
mate is divine-also it is natural
For that which is natural is d.
vine. The divine manifests itself
through man.
Promiscuity is perversion, and
its end is dissolution, disease,
death and the grave.
That which God has Joined to-
gether no man can put asunder
That which God has not Joined
man should not try to rivet to-
gether.
