THE POWER OF THE SOUTH

The returns of the recent election nave called atteh-
ton to the fact that in the state OF Illinois, with 20 cleo
toral votes. there were more ballots cast for president than
in the twelve states of the solid south with their I32 cleo
toral votes. In Illinois there were I,9I3,7oo persons Vot-
ed for president, and in the solid south only I,oo793S.
Now. it is pretty well understood of course, that the
reason that the vote of these twelve southern states is
small is because a large portion OF the men are not al
lowed to exercise their constitutional right OF suffrage.
Terrorism maintains the supremacy OF the democratic
party in this section and not only are negroes barred
from the polls in practically every section, but IN many
communities not even white men suspected OF De1nS re-
publcans are allowed to vote. In still other places the re-
publican votes cast are counted for the dominant party.
The election system in Mexico never had anything on that
in vogue in our southern states.
1t is contended with great earnestness by southern
leaders that they are obliged to disfranchise the blacks
and that white supremacy is essential to the preservation
of law and order. Without entering INTO any discussion
of the real merits of this contention, 1t may still be asked
with proprietv WHY these southern states are allowed a
representation IL the electoral college, to which they are
not entitled on their own statement OF tact. Inc seVerai
million negroes of the south are not allowed to vote, yet
the whites count them eagerly in figuring the population
on which representation in the electoral college and IN
CONGRESS- is based. Negroes cannot vote, yet they increase
the power of the southern whites in the national govern
ment.
# the negro is not allowed to vote in the south he
should not be regarded as a political entity, and II he were
not the representation of several southern states would be
cut in two. Without this vote, to which 1t is not en-
titled bv any rule of right or reason, the solid south could
not have elected Woodrow Wilson president of the Unit
ed States.
In these southern states there are no political cor
tests. A gigantic political machine dominates absolutely
and accepts any decree or any candidates tee party donl-
nant in that section may offer it. This machine holds a
power that is inimical to the nations best interests be-
cause it bows always and ever to the fetish OF the party
name and it is a power that is outrageous because of its
unwarranted and unmerited influence in the electoral col
lege.

ANOTHER REIMBURSEMENT

The head of a large printing establishment IN I'VE"
York found it so difficult to hire office and errand boys
that he experimental with elderly men for work IN ana
about the office previously done by boys. Protlting by
the experience of telegraph companies, who were forced re
this course by child labor laws in various states, the pup
Usher advertised for active elderly men to work as nlessen-
gers. Fifty applications were received III the t1rst mall III
reply to the advertisement, and nearly all were well ana
neatly written, giving proof of the ability and common
sense of the applicants. The men employed were .'ven
more money than was paid to boys, but it was found that
they performed their duties much more effectively, their
understanding being better and their reliability being a
new asset.
Doubtless the scarcity of boys seeking employment
in New York and other large cities is due largely to the
fact that, with increased wages and assured work Tor
adults, parents are now sending their boys to high schooi
instead of sending them out to work after completing the
grammar terms. This is one of the beneficial results OF
prosperity.
From a humanitarian standpoint, this change IN the
industrial system must make a strong appeal 1t is CIV
ing employment to men of from so to 90 years who have
been thrown into the discard. In all the large cities there
are thousands of such men, disqualified solely because OF
age, DESTROYS of finding light work and believing them
selves to be qualified. In most industries there is no age
limit for the man higher up, but in the places requiring
physical labor the fires of energy frequently are burned out
at the age of 50 or 90. If such men can find employment
in the lighter work usually given to boys, the whole nation
will be benefited, especially as the boys themselves will
have an opportunity to remain longer in high school or col
lege.

A WHOLESOME PHILOSOPHY

Now and then, above the clang and catter of the
worlds discomfort, rises a refreshing note of human graft
tude and %gladness. Such a note is sounded by the Rev.
Joseph Anthony Milburn, a Chicago clergyman, in the
autumnal PHILOSOPHY of life" called "Everymans World.
"My SUN has passed the meridian" says this genial
elder, "and is moving with rhythmic and deliberate stride
toward the western horizon, beyond which lies the allur-
ing world of mystery and wonder.
Gas I look back over the years [ feel that [ should say
a liturgy of thanksgiving to Fortune for the lavishness ofa
her bounty toward me. She has not always consulted my
desires nor humored my moods. I have found her to be
more a Stole than a Sybarite in her manners and methods.
She has made me pay with a sufficient liberallty for the
many fe1icities I have enjoyed through the grace of her
favor. In the things of lesser Importance the mysterious
providence that rules over the affairs of men has been
frugal with me; but I have been blessed beyond measure
in the one treasure of priceless significance, the treasure
of life. I have lived!
Not a bad saying that, for those still in the thick of
the fight, still seeking" fortunes favors, to remember. The
point of view alters all possible perspectives; things seen
in the retrospect seem different indeed from the same OBJ
iects under advance or even contemroraneous considera
ton. Mr.. Milburn has not found lies pilgrimage too
easy or luxurious. Individually he has known periods OF
doubt, distress, Encouragement, depression. But now,
from the western slope, he recalls mainly lifes general
sweetness and splendor. The burden of his sunset song is,
81 have 1ived!'

OUR INCREASING NATIONAL EXPENSE

Inc democratic national convention OF l9lZ QenOnC-
ed "the profigate waste of the money wrung from the
people by oppressive taxation trough the lavish appropri-
atoms of recent republican congresses, which have kept
taxes high and reduced the purchasing power of the peo-
pies toll" 1t also demanded "a return to that simplicity
and economy which BELTS a democratic government, and
a reduction in the number of useless offices, the salaries OF
which drain the substance of the people" Strange things
have happened since then to prevent a return to that SIM
plicity and economy, but the effort in that direction has
not been conspicuous. The platform of the same party
this year had nothing to denounce, but it still demanded
careful economy in all expenditures" and favored a re-
turn to the former practice of initiating and preparing all
appropriation bills through a single committee" as a
practicable step toward a budget system. We shall
have to wait awhile for any earnest move III that d1rec-
ton, apparently.
We are reminded of these declarations of purpose by
the estimates for the expenses of the next fiscal year pre-
scented to congress as a basis for appropriations. The est,
mates are apt to be exceeded by the appropriations. Ev-
erybody understands the demands upon the public treas
ury, unexpected in 1912, which have been caused by the
war in Europe and the trouble in ~Mex1co; but these de-
mands have by no means been confined to that cause. The
appropriations for the current year and the estimates tor
the next fiscal year have been enlarged by the plans for in
creasing the army and navy as a preparation tor future
safety, but apart from that and beginning as soon as the
new administration came into power, seventeen months
before the war broke out in Europe, there has been a SIN
gular lack of effort to return to that simplicity and econ
omy that BELTS a democratic government or to reduce the
number of offices, useless" or otherwise. The whole rec
ord has been quite to the contrary.
1t is not so many years since a billion dollar con
gress' caused quite a stir, but now a billion dollar session
has become familiar, and there has been no slackening
since the republican congresses INDUCED in lavish appro-
priations' which wrung money from the people by OPP
pressive taxation. For the current fiscal year the appro-
priations amounted to ST. ,1S4I57,5I7 and the estimates
for the next aggregate S, 1861 1884. In both cases this
is exclusive of expenses for the post office department,
which are expected to be met by postal revenues, and of
the amount due to the sinking fund for the public debt,
which is not always applied to its purpose. Looking over
the estimates for the different departments, it is difficult
to find anything but increased allowances for a larger
number of offices, and more public employees. We won
der when that era of simplicity and economy that BELTS a
democratic government is destined to arrive.

THE SMALLER NATIONS

Less than two months ago President Wilson, with
some show of virtue, declared that it would be his policy
in future to allow the smaller nations to settle their own
troubles and that no one in this country would be per-
mitted to butt in" Yet the press dispatches now inform
us that he has used the military power OF the United
States to seize control in Santo Domingo and that
Secretary Daniels explained that the action was
necessary because of deplorable conditions through
ont Santo Domingo. The United States has exer-
cised a fiscal protectorate over the Dominican gov
eminent for some years, but it has proved made
quate to meet the increasingly bad economic and
political conditions there.
Since partial control by us has caused conditions to
grow constantly worse in Santo Domingo is it not rea-
sonable to assume that our complete control will lead to
still further disorders? Santo Domingo has never been
complacent under foreign rule, and somewhere in that
island republic today, snoozing under a banana plant with
a machete by his side, may be some twentieth century
Toussaint L'Ouverture.

INCREASING THE JOY OF LIVING

Much of the joy of modern living draws its inspira-
ton from expert direction. Any movement for human bet
terment, urban and rural, rarely gains speed without an
expert driver. In one way or another experts pervade
every department of human activity. We have experts in
social, political, civic and religious life, food and drink ex-
perts and experts on living by ones wits. The route from
the cradle to the grave is hedged with experts whose dill
gence in directing uncertain feet is only equaled by their
nimble reach for the wherewith. They relieve Our per
plexities. solve our every problem, Danish pessimism and
radiate optimism at SO much per radiate. 1t must not be
supposed, however, that the expert field is fully covered.
One section, hitherto unexplored, is about to be revealed,
and Systematically cultivated. 1t is the field of fatigue
a field of surprising richness suddenly breaking like a
cloudless sunrise on the inventive experts mind. Victims
of fatigue, commonly known as the tired feeling" are
thus given ground for hope and assurances of relief.
The Importance of the discovery lies in its peculiar
timeliness. With some thirty legislatures ripenlng for
action during the next three or four months, the value of
a fatigue expert to a defenseless public is beyond estimate.
The certainty of relief from this and minor fatigues ma
terially enhances the JOY of living and lends soulful fervol
to the exhortation: God moves in mysterious ways His
wonders to perform"
