1t is noticeable that the complexion
of the men and women who tend the

according to him, neither fresh air
nor complexion have anything to do
with it. Even the pale dope victims
who dwell along the Bowery, of whom
there are hundreds between the ages
of IA and 40, have good health, he
says.
While dingy and in places appar-
entity falling to pieces, the Bowery
reflects the general prosperity of the
nation. 1t is not quite so hungry and
miserable as it used to be, and hence
not quite so desperate. Criminal

the street seems to be headed for a
future as healthy. respectable and
thrifty as its birth in the days of the
early Dutch settlers. Then it was a
refuge for fugitives from the small
pox scourges that were constantly
breaking out in New York; later il
was a refuge for criminals, and now
it is a sort of giant dustpan receiving
all the human sweepings from the sur
rounding metropolis But thru all
these stages OF decline, the Bowery
has retained its uncanny original in
heritance of health. flouting all scien-
tific assumptions that pestilence and
disease follow in the path of dirt.

POWER OF THE BALLOT.

The revolution in Germany appears
to be at an end and constitutional gov
eminent, whose representatives are
backed by the ballots of the people,
has triumphed over the forces of mil
itarism and anarchy. What has hap
pened in Germany will happenin any
country, where the people have the
opportunity OF expressing themselves
thru the ballot box
The power OF the ballot rarely has
been better set forth than it is in an
editorial article taken from the De-
troit News, which follows in part:
The ballot is the most powerful
thing in America today, or anywhere
in the world for that matter. If you
don't believe that ballots are powerful.
ask Lloyd George what he fears more
the sOviets in Russia or ballots in
England. He makes a lot of noise
about the soviets, but that's only to
hide his worries over what the English
voter is going to do with his ballot
! IL you don't believe that ballots are
| powerful, have someone page Clemen-
| ceau for YOU out of his obscurity and
| ask him what it was that pulled the
! claws OF the Tiger of France. He'll
| tell you, it was the ballot.
Ballots are more powerful than
/ bombs; more powerful than machine
| guns. Machine guns may overthrow
autocracy, but it takes the ballot to
J usher in democracy. Machine guns
| may make the world safe, but only the
! ballot can keep it so. Against the bal
/ lot all the shining sabers and glisten-
! ing bayonets in the world are help
/ less; they fall as the walls of Jericho
/ fell before the blasts of Joshua s
trumpet.
Every petty and grand knave in Of
flee today knows the power OF the
ballot. II he didn't he wouldn't be
in office. Every grasping corporation,
be u traction or food or fuel depends
upon the ballot for its power. With
the ballot you can take from the
! knave and the corporation every bit OF
power they WELD. They all dread the
ballot; and they will do almost any
thing to get it.
That is why the citizen who wields
it must look on it as the most sacred
thing in his possession. To throw
the ballot way is to throw away citi-
zenship: and to throw away citizen
ship means to throw away liberty
That's why you have to be careful moi
TO give your ballot to any man merely
because he asks for it.~You wouldn't
! give ten dollars to every stranger
who asks you for it. You ought moi
to give even a dime il you suspected
from his looks or past record that he
might use it to no good purpose.
Since the ballot IS the sign and sea
of your power and liberty as a citi-
zen, how much more necessary is il
then to consider well to whom and for
what purpose you are giving your bal.
I lot? BY throwing away your ballot
by using II unwisely. you are under
mining the very foundations upor
which rests the government of the
country, you are making the world un.
safe for democracy. Weld it wisely
and you may laugh at autocrats and
dictstoPs, for it is the one thing the,
all fear.
