TEN MILLION
DIDN'T VOTE
Forty Percent Hold Citizenship j OF
Lightly, According to Pub
licity Man.

"Ten million people, or 40 percent
Of the whole number, held their citi-
zenship so lightly that they did not
take the trouble to VOTE says Jona-
than Bourne, Jr., president Of the Re,
publican Publicity association, in a
statement concerning the recent cleo
ton given out the other day.
The statement follows.
First place in the ranks Of gov
ernmental progress should be &C.
corded to that state which shows the
largest percentage of actual voting
population. The only sovereignty we
have in this country, and the only
sovereignty of citizenship. Though
1t is sovereignty bought by the
blood of patriots unsurpassed in self
sacrifice, it is sovereignty abdicate
by a shameful1y large proportion OF
our people.
According to the census Of 1910.
we had possible voting population
OF approximately 25,O0O.000. but the
actual vote cast in 1912 was but To-
100000. Ten million people. or 40
percent of the whole number. held
their citizenship so lightly that they
did not take the trouble to vote.
Possession of power carries with
1t corresponding degree OF respon-
sibility and duty. Failure to accept
the responsibility and perform the
duty, should result in revocation OF
the power. Just as monarch who
refuses to exercise his governing
power should be overthrown. so the
sovereign citizen who fails to per
form his part in popular government
should be shorn of his power.
Under present provisions OF our
federal constitution, this Is prob
lem resting with the states. But 1t
is none the less an important prob
lem. 1t is no SUFFICIENT answer to
say that If a man will not take
enough interest to cast his ballot the
country is better off without his par
ticipation in the affairs Of govern
ment Those who participate In gov
eminent will come to feel the respon,
sibility.
Every practicable effort should be
made through agitation, education
and legislation, to induce all quail
fed persons to vote, and those VINO
then refuse, without good excuse
should be DISTINGUISHED as unworthy
to share in self-government."

COUNTRY is
UKELELE MAD
Cute Little Instrument From Hawaii
Has Upset Country-Wieky-
Wacky-Woo Music.

NEW YORK, Jan. 31-Oh, Aloha.
Oh! look what you've gone and
done! America is ukelele mad.
everybody is either buying, playing
or learning to, twiddle the uke, and
SO widespread has become Lis
Hawaiian malady that man called
the police station last night and
asked:
'In the nanfe of heaven, declare
an open season for the ukelele tiend-'
Since the lackadaisical melodies
were brought here from the island Of
Hawaii the theatres have been
thronged with people who have
watched with repressed emotion tie
gyrations of dusky Hawaiian maids,
dressed in matched harem skirts,
with serpentine bodies and quivering
hands, going through the primitive"
dances doped out in New York
studio. And with them the native
Hawaiian. dressed in Palm Beach
clothing, with a yellow PAPER. mache
lea" or necklace. who slanted soul
full eyes to the gallery, brought forth
lachrymose and doleful tunes on the
helpless uke.
And the ukelele, being small and
cute and apparently easy to play, Is
the present American fad Cup to the
time Of going to press). Made of a
pleasant quality of cigar lockwood,
the instrum ents retail from $3.50 to
S25. Having four strings and a
quasi romantic appearance, 1t has
been adopted by the youth of the.
ration as fit companion for swas-
ger sticks and frat pins. The uke is
being made in vast quantities by car
penters, box factories and contrac-
tors, and the ukelele forests of the
northwest are becoming rapidly de-
pleted Modesty forbids us to reveal
the soul Of the little uke to an un-.
sympathetic public.
The glory of Amati, Stradivarius.
Pergonzi, has been eclipsed. The
masterpieces Of Cremona are dwarf
cd to the status Of the Babylonian
timbrel. Poor old Jacobus Stainer,
the Tyro1ean luther who was chain
ed to his bench, might have been the
ukelele king and Paganini could have
outmewed all the cats in Genoa had
he found a ukelele in his Christmas
stocking. Orpheus, who lost his be-
loved Eurydice in the ascent from
Pluto's endorsement, would have
softened the old Letch's heart with
the plaintive whine of the uke. Yes.
that Caprice Viennois of Kreisler's
is fine, but, say, Marie. have you
heard the latest wicky-wacky WOO?
And the ukelele fiend! He fatn
would dress in white trousers and
SQUAT at the feet of his beloved. With
loose sport shirt, open at the neck,
and a yellow necklace, he performs.
The throat must be bare, so that he
may sing the sorrowful strain like
that of the whangdoodle mourning
its Young. He rises early to tweak
his ukelele. he retires late, having
wept on it in secret. He carries 1t
about in a pouch, az the kangaroo
does it's offspring. There is only one
Instrument more simple. and that Is
the wimpf, composed of a single
string stretched across an oyster
shell, which is plucked with dill
pickle.
And as the secondhand man moves
out the family piano and trips in
lightly with a new, shining ukelele,
like Tarisio of old, he notes down
the MAMIE and address and, going to
the phone, says to his doctor friend,
"II Ihave another nut for you soon"
