Travelling Men
Want To Vote
By Mail

jacksonville, Oct 21-That the
United Commercial Travellers OF
America will probably start strong
campaign for the passage of law
by the next congress allowing com
herical travellers to vote while away
from home is the rumor that is now
current. At special meeting yester-
day, this matter was discussed Each
nan present declared that he would
carry the matter to the officers of
his grand council. 1t is likely, that
many of the members of the order
will write their congressman and
senators in this regard.
Herbert C. Howe, of Jersey City
Council No. sos; A. S. Pierce of Mil
waukee Council No. "a and I. An
drew Jackson, of Jacksonville Coun-
oil No. 292, were the main spokes-
men in the whole affair. Mr.. Howe
declared that owing to the nature OF
his business he has been away since
the general elections of 1896. Mr..
Pierce said that while he was not
qaite so old in point of voting hab-
ITS still for several years he had been
unable to take part at his home
poll in elections. Mr.. Jackson de-
cared that many of the men of the
council have had to beat it in to
Jacksonville" on election days.
1t was felt that getting ideas and
general expressions along this line
and handling the same over to the
"cXt session of congress is the duty
oi not only Y. G. It's but travellers
who are outside of the ranks. In
each case where the same is possible
the matter will be taken up with
grand councils. No hint will be per-
mitted, however, of partianship but
mere change of law where an
American citizen can vote in all
sorts of elections, whether he is at
home or not, is the idea. Mr.. Pierce
stated that such law is working
well in Wisconsin but does not an
ply to national elections.

GERMAN EFFICIENCY

Letters from Warsaw, the chief
city of Poland-especially the one
written from that city by James
ODonnell Bennett and printed in the
Chicago Tribune--tell of the wond-
crs German efficiency has brough in
Transforming the conquered city
Industry has been re-established on
better lines than before, law and or
der prevail, and apparently the in
,aders are making the best of every
thing. Similar reports have told of
Transformation in Belgium, where
the healing processes of labor intel
liSently directed have followed upon
the ravages of war directed with
equal intelligence and energy.
With this side of German ability
the world was famil!a" before tho
outbreak of hostilities. But the ex-
isencies of the war have directed at
tention to it with startling emphasis
and enforced the lesson in a manner
calculated to make it enduring.
Friend and foe alike have marvelled
at the readiness with which the Ger
mans, preOccupied as they are with
military activities, have turn ID thci,'
hands to every form of useful effort
where practical results were posi-
bic. Ruined cities have been rebuilt.
devastated mines and factories have
been re-opened under improved con-
ditiOns, railway lines have been al
tered or extended to meet new re-
qulrements-in short, nothing has
been overlooked that could he rend-
cred serviceable, nothing left in ruins
that could be made over for any use
full purpose.
Yet the credit Germany receives
for these achievements is less than
would be readily given to almost any
other nation in like circumstances
In material age, as we were wont
to call the age we live in before the
great war, it might be supposed that
/ material achievement such as Ger
hany's would arouse enthusiastic APP
proval, especially in the United
States, where materialism was
thought to be rampant. 1t has failed
To do SO because our age is more
spiritual than it seemed, or because
the normal human being admires
cleverness when applied to "a right
cause more than when it is employed
for cause that is condemned.
The failure OF Germany militant
TO make itself sympathetically under
stood in this country is due mainly
10 the failure of her Spokesman to
realize the tremendous power of con-
science even in mundane affairs.
They have made II appear that TO
them successful accomplishment IS
the chief end of man irrespective OF
god efficiency they have rendered
exclusive homage, oblivious of the
tact that, despie much wavering ana
selfishness, abstract right is the Ill
innate aim of most of the human
family. Trusting TO might and skill
they have sought justification in eN-
pediency. If they have not con
vinced the world it is because they
