rate. that they knew what they were about, and if
they have made mistakes, they have made
serious ones than men have been making in voting
Tor candidates since elections were invented
The few returns that have been received show
peculiarities of voting that cannot be easily
explained but they appear with such regularity that
there must have been method and not mere caprice
behind them For instance it is found that in
nearly all precincts where the sentiment was against
capital punishment the also in favor of
the proposition to create a board of pardons and
paroles That proposition, however appears to have
been generally favored.
In the southern part of the state, and in the
vicinity of the great mines the 80 per law and
the Misunderstanding law appear have carried,
while in the agricultural districts the vote was gem
orally against them
The treatment of the Miami county measure
furnished other evidence of the discrimination of the
voters. Where they were left to themselves-that
is, not influenced by the proponents or the
antagonists of the bi-they were inclined to ignore

something the of ella county to settle

they believed that the Gyoponents of the question
should have submitted it to them.
Undoubtedly majority the voters who ex-
pressed themselves all these questions had a
reason, good bad for doing so. That itself is a
indication of the theory of popular rule. Many of
the propositions obscure many of the voters
did not know the meaning them, and in such
they either voted against them or refrained

INTERESTING PROGRAM
At PHOENIX HIGH SCHOOL

one of the best programs that has
ever been given on the stage at the
High School was given yesterday af-
ternoon by the Advisory Section Four
! Inder Mr.. Elliot
The advisory sections of the high
school have been in the habit of Civ
ing a program each week and no pro-
gram equals that given by Section
Four 1t was a scientific demonstra-
ton that held the school under the
most intense interest for forty-five
minutes.
The assembly was called at one
thirty and turned over to Harry Slo-
cum who took charge of the program
and who was assisted in the expert
ments in physics and chemistry by
Kenneth Comstock, Lloyd Jones and
Corbin Davidson. The program was
interesting and spectacular and the
way it was conducted shows what the
scientific department is doing, and the
great credit due to the boys who
made it such a success.
During the sixth period Dr. Barker
addressed the boys of the Junior and
senior class on a subject of great
importance to them. The boys were

Cotton Stuffed Promises
from voting

Senator HoBe Smith in his campaign some weeks
told the voters of Georgia that if he
elected he would adopt "l2 cent cotton" as one of
his policies. Twelve cent cotton looked pretty
good" to the of Georgia. and Mr.. Smith
reelected To what extent his promise to boost
price affected the result favoraby for
MIR. Smith. cannot know, but it have
helped AS astute a politician Mr. Smith
would not have gone the trouble of making such
a promise unless he was pretty sure that it would
deceive and influence some of the voters The
promise has been redeemed though Mr.. Smith
may claim that it has been half redeemed. They
have cent cotton in Georgia.
Sometime voters will have sense enough to
know despite the promises candidates for office,
that laws cannot make good times. They may in
favorable circumstances keep times good, and when,
as a result of bad laws, there bad times, good
laws may restore good times. But there cir
cumsances in which no legislation can bring pros
perity any more than it change the seasons. No
law can repeal the law of supply and demand
whereby prices are regulated and whereby employ
ment is furnished
Some wiser honest legislator than Mr..
Smith, in Texas a few years ago devised legisla-
ton to increase the price of cotton by Increasing
the demand for it. 1t was to be ordained that resi-
dents of the Lone Star state should wear their
shrt-taiIs six inches longer than they had been
wearing them. Passing over the curtailing Of per-
sona liberty by the proposed retailing of the shirt
the effect of such law would be the use of more
muslin and shifting. If million citizens Of Texas
should be compelled to lengthen the caudal append
ages of their shirts by half foot obviously an ave-
nue. would be opened to the market for many thou
sand bales of cotton lying idle and unproductve in
the warehouses
That kind of legislation would hold out real
promise to the growers of cotton, unlike that of
Mr. Smith which, by mysterious hocus pocus
was the price of cotton without provid-
ing for the increased of cotton.

THE WEST LAND

O to lie in long grasses!
o to dream of the plain,
Where the west wind sings it passes
A weird and unceasing refrain,
Where the rank grass walIoWs and tosses
And the plains ring dazzles the eye;
Where hardly silver cloud bosses
The flashing steel arch of the sky.
To watch the gay gus they flutter
Like snowfakes and fall down the sky,
To swoOp in the deeps of the hollows,
Where the crows foot losses awry.
And gnats in the lee of the thckets
Are swrling like walters in glee
To the harsh, shrill creak of the crickets
And the song of the lark and the bee
O far off plains of my West land.
o lands of winds and the free.
Swift dcer-my mist clad plain.
From my bed in the heart Of the forest
From the clasp and the girdle of pain
Your light through my darkness passes;
To your meadows in dreaming fly
To plunge in the decps CT your grasses,
To bask in the light of your sky

1t appears that majority of the voters were
against the eght-year amendment, and while they
probably still against it, they probably recognize
that it contained beautiful and sound prnci
pie worth considering in another form and at

offices have been especially impressed with the
soundness of the principle and the beauty OF it which
it is now opening before them. They would favor
any amendment to the constitution that would make

would be willing to let them stand indefinitely
