Maybe the Good Citizen
Who Stays Away From the
Polls Shouldn't Be Blamed

The Times has repeatedly taken tc
task the better element of citizenship for
its failure to get TO the polls on election
days, permitting the offices which they
could control, and issues which they
would be able to settle in THEIR interest,
to go by default
When bad man has been found in
Office, or when law has been passed
that has been palpably antagonistic TO
this better class, we have told this class
that it had no right to hold anybody re-
sponsible but its very self-because il
failed to get out and vote.
Just why it has been so hard to get
these certain citizens to the polls has al
ways been conundrum to US, bat it may
be that the recount of votes cast in the
aldermanic primaries in the Twentyfirst
ward may throw some light on the mat
ter.

II was found in this recount that bal
lots had been so marked as to make them
: worthless, and so as to nullify many OF
the votes cast for one of the candidates.
The candidate has every reason to be-
ueve that he was cheated out of nomi-
nation, but there is nothing for the board
Of canvassers to do but throw out the
ballots that somebody has made worth
less.
The candidate is told that he has a
criminal action, but against whom?
He was not in the booth when the
criminal act was committed.
Nobody in the booth who saw it done
Is going to tell him or take the stand in
court and tell jury who did it.
There is nothing left for the candidate
TO do but take his medicine
But there ought to be redress.
A vote that plainly has been tempered
with ought 10 count Tor the candidate
demanding a recount
That would put stop to the practice
Of robbing candidate, right off the bat.
Maybe lot of our good citizens stay
away from the polls because they feel
that their votes aren't going to count,
anyway, unless the snug little crowd
hanging out in the booth feels like count
ing them.

our elections.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF BACK HURTS
Take Glass of Salts TO Flush
Kidneys if Bladder
Bothers You.

Eating meat regula5e5 eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a well known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
sorts Of distress, particularly back,
ache and misery in the kidney region:
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches.
acid stomach, constipation. torpid liv-
er, sleeplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right or if bladder
bothers you. get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy;
take tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon Juice. com-
btned with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them 70 normal ac-
tivity; also to neutralize the acids In
the urine SO It no longer irritates, thus
ending bladder disorders. 4
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;

PROLOGUE.

"A Tale Of Red Roses"
byCeorge Randolph Chester,
is one Of that authors best
stones. 1t introduces a typi-
cal red blooded boss politician
Of the type found in many
American cities and a beau
hful girl, with whom the boss
is in love. Incidents Of politi-
cal intrigue and high finance
are fascinatingly told.
The author relates, as only
he can, stirring incidents in
ward, city and state politics.
In his strenuous, spectacular
wooing the politician makes
the girl the tavorlte at a gov
ernor's ball. He has diplo-
mats, artists and notables of
every description pay her
homage. He lavishes pres
ents on her. He anticipates
her every wish. His love is
empowering, all consuming.
"A Tale of Red Roses"

Passing Of the Sailing Vessel.

Guantanamo, Cuba, March II, 1915
That the distinctly American sail
ing ship has disappeared from the
high seas is evidenced from the fact
that only fifty per cent of the force Of

station could tell the names of the
seven masts, at an examination re-
Gently held here.
These ''soldiers and sailors too"
members Of the United States Mar
Inc Corps, keep themselves keenly
alive to things nautical, as well as
military, and that only half of the
force could name the seven masts la
due entirely to the fact that there
are now no seven-masted schooners
flying the American flag. The Thorn
