To vote a complete ticket this year
is not difficult or tiresome.
Three ballots will be given to each
voter by the election officer.
One of these is the "06iclal Ballot
for Presidential Electors" On this
ballot the names of the party candi-
dates are printed in columns. AT the
top of each party column the emblem
of that party is printed. Under this
emblem is voting circle surrounded
by the words For a Straight Ticket
Mark Within This Circle" Under
this circle are the name Of the party
and the names of it's candidates for
President and Vice President. All that
the voter who wants to be counted
for Simon pure, undiluted American
ism has to do is to make q cross x
mark in the voting circle under the
eagle and above the words 'Republi-
can Party" in the second column of
this ballot. That one cross x mark
in this circle will record him for the
independence and freedom of the
United States and against the waste

When an official of the telephone
company said last week that it cost
$1,000 to produce a proficient tele-
phone girl in this city many persons
probably were inclined to doubt. But
a special bulletin on 1.-The Telephone
Industry" just issued by the Indus
trial Commission of New York State
tends to confirm the high estimate.
In October, November and Deem
Der of last year the New York Tele-
phone Company spent $4,000 to at
tract applicants for positionsA MS opera
tors. This was paid to. newspapers
for help wanted" advertisements, to
special recruiting agents and, in the
form Of bonuses, to employees who
brought in recruits. In those three
months the company added 1910 OPP
orators to its force. The advertising
and other recruiting expenses had cost
about $50 for each accepted applicant.
But as in the same period the COM
pany lost SJ7 operators there was a
net gain of only 592. 1t might be
said that the cost of.recruiting each
added employee was about $3.50.
But that was only preliminary ex-
pense In campaign to bring these
young women up to the point Of real
value to the telephone service. The
cost of maintaining the training school
in this city last year was $685., 070. In
district like this, which employs
about 1900 operators, the training
school is of great importance. The
labor turnover in the telephone bust
ness is very large. OF every three
girls who become operators, says the
Industrial Commissions report, zone
drops out in training, the second be-
fore the first year is over and the
third stays longer than year" The
first two girls are losses to the tele
phone company. 1t has spent money
to attract them to apply, money tc
train them and money to pay theiI
salaries even when they are In school
and producing nothing. The girl who
leaves while In training returns moth
ing to the company. The girl who
drops out In her first year is almos
a complete loss to the company. No
until she has been in the service two
years is an operator able to carry q
full load" on the switchboard.

Sam Gompers's Cox Boasts Re-
pudiated by Labor Leaders.

SAM GoMPERs doesn't get away
with everything in the country and he
doesn't get away with everything in
the labor organizations. This mis-
chievous labor union politician under
took to hand over the organized labor
vote to Cox, locked, sealed and cleated.
How far he is from being able to de-
liver the goods is shown by the adj
dress, printed elsewhere, of thirty
nine prominent labor union leaders
from all parts of the country calling
upon their fellow workers to vote FOR
HARDING and for IA Republican ma
jority in both the House and the Sen
ate, lin order. that not only all ranks
of labor but the country as a whole
may be benefited"
These veteran and influential labor
leaders represent hundreds of thou
sands of organized workers, such as
members Of the building trades, rail-
road engineers, conductors, switchmen
and telegraphers; miners, cigarmak-
ers, painters and decorators, iron,
steel and tin workers, sheet metal
workers, structural iron workers, pot
terry and chemical workers, seamen,
electric employees, printers, pressmen
and photo engravers, &c. They de-
clare their associates and followers
want representative government re-
stored, like other American citizens
They want practical, efficient, eco,
nomical government, like other Ameri
can citizens. They want lower taxes
like other American citizens. They
want national sovereignty, unshackled
by an international superstate, like
other American citizens. And they
say so in a strongly expressed Amer
lean address which they put out te
the country on this Sunday before
election.
Members of organized labor have al.
ways laughed at the pretensions OF
SAM GoMPERs that he could lead the
organized workers of this country Il
the polls by the halter and vote then
the way he wanted, not the way they
wanted. The address of the thirty
nine national leaders in behalf o.
union voters who are going to vote
the Republican ticket shows the res
of the country how much hot air Their
is and how little substance in Con-
pERs's boasts and threats.

The Ruling Passion strong in Death

To the very finish, the same Gov
ernor Cox!
At Youngstown night before last
this candidate for President of the
United States replied as follows to the
question of an inquisitive fellow
Y Ohioan who spoke of the Covenant of
4. the League as "the Wilson pact:
First of all, there is no such thing
81 as a Wilson pact, How could it be
called a Wilson pact when all he had
TO do with it was to pass with others
upon the document at the peace
table? President TAFT and the
League to Enforce Peace had worked
upon the League two years before
President WILSON gave it any at
tention.'
All he had to do with Article X,
ie heart of the Covenant, was to pass
nth others upon the document at the
peace table!
s's This acquittal tof personal respousi-
bility is the malodorous quid for the
quo OF the treacle letter signed ''Your
. gratified and loyal supporter, WooD-
ROW WILSON"
The Characteristic impudence OF
Governor Cox's asseveration will be
made evident by a single brief pas
sage from the verbatim report of the
interview between President WILSON
and the Senators of the Foreign Re-
lations Committee at the White House
on August 10, 1910. 1t is the ''grati-
fed and loyal supporter" of Governor
Cox, the supreme authority on the au-
thorship of the Covenant, who thus
disposes of Governor Cox's audaclous
Misrepresentation:
senator BRANDEaEp--who was the
author of Article "?
THE President suppose l was
no as much as anybody.
.-, Senator BRANDEGEp-And you rec
commended it to your fellow American
!. commissioners?
THE President--Yes.
Senator BRANpEGEB-How many
Americans were on the commission
which framed the Covenant for thu
League OF Nations?
1.-THE President-Two. Colonel
HOUSE and myself"
Mr.. Cox imaglnes that he is trail

1t is a duty land likewise a joy)
for The New YORK HERALD to trail

THE SUPREME PROBLEM.
Is Source Excluded by Mr.. Edison's
Theory of Life and Deathl

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In your
comments on October 26 on Mr.. Edi-
sons speculations on life and death you
say that he will plainly leave the in
quirer ''in highly unsatisfactory state
of ignorance unless he reveals the
source from which the immortal entities
originally derived their form and were
endowed with their life." -v
The error of this position will surely
be revealed to you IL you will. consider
the significance of Mr.. Edison's state
ment in the first paragraph quoted by
you /: II believe that life. like matter.
is indestructib1e. There has always been
certain amount of life on this world.
and there will always be the same
amount" II there has always been a
certain amount of life, the same amount
as now is and will always be. how can
there have been, as you suggest
source?
We are so accustomed to finding rea-
sons for things and sources of things
that we are apt to fall into the error
of taking it for granted that there Is
reason for everything and a source
for everything, and we thus overlook the
fact that there is one class of things
for which there can be no reason and
of which there can be no source-those
things that are eternal
Accepting Mr.. Edison's premise-an
extremely reasonable. one--that every
ultimate particle of matter has always
existed and that it has always been
alive. and that it has always pos
sessed a certain degree Of ability to
move and satisfy it's desire to associate
with certain other particles Of matter or
keep from associating with them--this
according with the physicists theory of
attraction and repulsion-we have a
very complete explanation for all the
varying forms of matter and life, includ-
ing man. GEORGE RusBY.

Mr.. Edison's Purpose.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: AS 1 I'M
derstand Mr.. Edisons present efforts e
is not trying to prove or even to inquire
into the origin of life, but merely as
to the continuance of life after death.
In announcing his endeavors to assist
those who expect future existence and
are searching for proof he expresses at
the same time his own lack Of knowl-
edge. conviction or hope of an everlast-
ing personality.
The point you raise, that he does not
touch the supreme problem OF whence
comes life itself, though not pertinent
here. is undoubtedly best answered by
Herbert Spencer in his First Princi-
ples'' 1t is among the things "unknow-
able to the finite mind"

POEMS WORTH READING.
An Autumn Morning.


Twas a blue autumn morning
Along the eastern shores.
When you and together
Went down to LiIligore's.
The waves about the beaches
Had hushed their stormy tunesi
The sunlight lay like summer
Upon the wide sand dunes.
No wind stirred In the sedges
Save with a faint caress.
And the massed oak trees inland
Were hazed with loneliness.
Arm linked In arm We sauntered
Together. you and /.
And watched the broad winged seagrils
Circle athwart the sky,
And watched the great ships going
Beyond the outer bars
Upon their long. long questing
To seek the southern stars.
There was a sense OF silence
Far as the ear might reach;
There was a sense of beauty
That was too deep for speech.
The years our paths may sever
TIL the last daylight dies.
But shall still remember
The dreams within your eyes!

Eastward"
From the Boston Transcript.


Eastward In gentle undulation.
Away yonder there looms hill
Where pine trees. in sentinelled station,
Day long a gracious shadow spill
Over the hills loftiest lifting
They draw carven, dusky trail
Upon cloudlands whose slow riftng
Reflects days last beams ere they fall
Rose and orange, In pale repeating,
There meet the pines jade tinted spires
AS 1t were. In prophetic greeting
To dawn's invisible beacon fires
Then gradual gloom claims hill and heaven;
Only, like lights in some black galley,
House lamps the gathering darkness leaven
Along an Intervening valley
Lamps that salute days end of toiling
And cheer on hungry farmhands shed;
Lamps welcome to the children coiling
Game weary limbs that long for bed
The glmmers, one by one. now fade
In darkness that no star Is breaking;
Every wind whisper low is laid;
No grass or weed Its spear Is shaking
Yet still, Tor me, those tail pines rise
Where. In dim. deepest, silence, are sleep
ing,
Dumb and deaf 70 the glory that dies.
Brave young harvesters. done with theiI
reaping.

Autumn Bonflres.

Bonfires In the Streets;
Boys with fire tipped sticks
Lash TO and fro;
Girls dancing in the flame
Join madly In the game,
Their figures silhouetted
In the glow.
Tang of the burning leaf.
Waited by sluggish winds,
Drifts here and there;
Embers OF floating tire,
That In the dark expire.
Like fairy ships sail on
The pungent air.
Memories OF boyhood
Live in the flick ring blazs-
Tramp, tramp OF feet,
The torches smoky glare,
Flags flashing evsrywhere.
Shouts, cheers and music down
The leaf strewn street
Codi let the flame mount high
Red on the muriy slty:
Ever the patriot ory.
Live the Republic;
