The great army of stay-at-home
voters have no pride in what Doctor
Holmes describes thus:
The freeman casting with Impoverished
hand
The vote that shakes the turrets of the
land.
We get our word "vote" from the
Latin ''votum," and originally vote
means vow or pledge. An old Roman
method of casting q vote once consist
ed in striking spear against shield,
and from the Latin expression describ-
ing the resultant noise we get our word
suffrage.
Ballot" too, has an ancient origin.
The Greeks on important occasions
cast secret votes by using pebbles, and
their word has come down to our time.
A recent perusal of our newspapers,
however will show that present-day
politicians don't stop with casting peb-
bles. They carry it to the point Of
singing mud.
Anywhere in the United States one
must have lived twenty-one years be-
fore he can vote. Not so in many other
countries.
The Hun votes at twenty, but the
Austrian, in the other half of the en-
pire, must be twenty-four. Prussians
cannot vote until they are twenty-five
years old, and that is the minimum age
limit in a number of German states.
Twenty-Five is also the age in Hol-
land, Belgium and Japan. Denmark Isl
believer in the wisdom that comes
with age, hence no one there under
thirty can vote. English-speaking races
may vote at twenty-one.
In many countries soldiers are dis
franchised, and under the Portuguese
kingdom no domestic servant or gov
eminent employee had ballot.

graduates, for example, have three

About 100000 Belgians have each

Der have two votes. And notice this,
Mr.. Stay-at-Home, failure to vote in
Belgium is punishable as a INSIDE

Idaho withholds the ballot from big

A pauper cannot vote in Massachu-

More than 100000 women will be

British Soldiers Canes.

You have heard of the short yellow
knobbed cane that is carried by all
officers of the British army and very
many private soldiers? 1t Is a cane
that is ubiquitous. Small fortunes
have been made out of it, yet no one
comes forward to claim its invention.
It's price at all places is one shilling,
but it's name varies. / see it billed
variously at shop doors as the army
stick, the Whangee cane, the Panama
short and the swagger cane.
The real swagger cane, though, is
Of older date, and is as a rule a short
piece of cane or other flexible ma
