First Voters

Fifty per cent, perhaps more, of the voters
who go to the polls next month will cast their
ballots for the first time. Women, and young
men who have just attained their majority, are
in this class.
Both parties know that the first voters need
instruction as to the proper method of voting so
that the ballot actually will record the choice of
the elector and that it will not be mutilated so
that it will be thrown out when the count is
made.
For that reason they are launching cam
paign of instruction. First voters will find it de-
cidedly to their advantage to watch the news
papers carefully until election day for advice as
to the proper method of handling the ballot. If
a voter is unable to mark his ballot integently
and to observe the regulations that are pre-
scribed, he will invalidate it by his own action.
Three weeks will eapse before election day,
but all voters, young and old, should remember
that if 23,547 electors go to the polls they will
tax the accommodations to the limit. Hitherto
a large number have waited until shortly before
the closing of the polls, causing congestion and
some confusion
Vote early at the forthcoming election. Vote
before noon if you can. Avoid the rush. If you
are not in the voting room when the hour of six
strikes, your vote is lost. Your position outside
the door at this hour will not entitle you to enter
Only certain number of voters are admitted
into the room at the same time The law is
strict on this point.
One of the election commissioners, who has
had years of experience in election affairs, said
recently:
''There is no question that if voters delay
their voting there will be many who will be shut
,,,,+ IF tho nolls of tho last minnie"
There will be the same number of voting
places as at former elections, but the number of
voters in each precinct virtually has been
doubled, suggesting emphatically that some will
he shut out of the polls if they wait until the
last minute to cast their ballots.

Ripping Rhymes
By WALL MASON
YEARS AND WISDOM

I've lived about a hundred years, and
as l lived l looked around; and in the
course of time, my dears, some chunks
of wisdom l have found. I've found
that kindness always pays; it
smoothes the path we have to tread,
and takes much anguish from our days,
and luls us when we go to bed. Speak
kindly of the man next door; he'll hear
the unkind things you've said, and
they make make his spirit sore, so he
will come and punch your head. Speak
kindly Of the grocer's clerk, who
stung you when you bought some rice;
he's wearied by his grinding work, and
so got balled up on the price. Speak
kindly of all men who pass; they need
kind words to make them glad
they're trying hard to cut their grass,
and hands are tired and hearts are sad.
My life has been a joyride great, be-
cause l hate no man on earth, and in
the cheapest kind of skate try to find
some signs of worth. l have about a
million friends, who smile upon me
when we meet, and when my little
journey ends, my funeral will be a
treat. The boys will boost me on that
day, not for the silly rhymes l grind
nor for my wreath of fragrant hay, but
for the fact that l was kind.

he has one consultation, at least. He
was insulted by an expert.
Any man who is living with his wife
and her four sisters is not making
any funny cracks as to who are the
five most beautiful women in America.
Once we jumped half way across the
continent, and when we reached our
destination we were met by lawyer
who held an unpaid bill of $456 for
groceries which we had forgotten to
pay in the excitement of moving.
Many of them go to hotels their
goods in their hands until we come
across with the kale. This makes Us
very indignant. 1t also spoils our
plans to dabble in high and mighty
finance.
When we owe him any money he is
on our neck like a New Jersey mos
quito, and we have as much of a
chance to get away with anything as
the night Waterman has in tomb
stone works.

prejudice against a third term in the
white house, and it was made equally
plain that this "Old Guard" never
would surrender to Blaine.
A new candidate was necessary II
the convention was not to fall to
pieces in factions. One solitary vote
for Garfield on most of the ballots had
continued to point the finger Of des

her fingers in his direction when her
delegation broke to him on the 34th
ballot.
Garfield rose with pallid face and

Indiana's Educational Campaign

The educational campaign which is to be
waged in Hoosierdom for ten days, beginning
Nov 7, is not for the purpose of raising money
or raising salaries, but for the purpose of ac-
quainting the people of Indiana with the plan
necessary to improve the efficiency of the school
system.
The citizens of Indiana have been proud of
their school system for many years, but dis
closures show that our pride is not based on
facts. The Russell Sage Foundation, which has
made a scientific investigation of the efficiency
of the systems of education in all the states and
territories of the United States, covering a
period beginning with 1910, places our state sew
enteenth among the American commonwealth.
The rank is not flattering one 1t emphat-
ically destroys any claims we may have made in
the past to educational supremacy. 1t proves
without shadow of doubt that the boys and girls
of this state are not receiving the preparation
for life to which they are entitled. 1t urges us
to study our educational system with the object
of improving it.
The educational campaign should be a salu-
tary one. Indiana must rank among the highest
for it's interest in education. The public dares
not neglect the schooling of its youth, for in
them lies the hope of the future.
The years boy or girl spends IN school can
not be recalled. If the educational system is un-
able to offer the boys and girls adequate school
ing, to hire capable instructors, to equip properly
its schoolrooms, to erect new buildings to adopt
new methods and to apply new theories, the state
is recreant to high duty and its citizens liable
to the severest criticism.
Our educational system must be maintained
at the highest point of efficiency. There may
be other pressing demands on the public funds,
but paramount to all financial requirements and
