The old timers who used to wait
days and weeks before they learned
who was elected to public office
would open their eyes wide today if
they could come back and see
the system that has been developed
for making promptly the results of
the balloting.
In many thickly settled sections
counting and tabulating the vote
The newspapers train a corps of
people who assist year after year
in this function and who know how
to do the work in the most expedi-
tious way.
1t was not many years ago when
the difficulties Of collecting returns
were much greater. In thetimes
before country towns got their tel
ephones many voting results had
to come in by team or mail. Con
troversies would often arise over
counting and the ballots would be
held until they were settled. In
different election clerks or newspa-
per correspondents might keep the
figures in their pockets several DAYS
while the tabulators in the city Of
fices were tearing their hair
There were rumors that the bosses
in some places would hold on to the
ballots of certain precincts until they
knew how much of majority theey
needed and must produce. But in
these days of stricter laws it is per-
ilous to monkey with the figures.
There are still some remote places
lacking telephones. But for themost
the country towns are well connect
ed and take pride in reporting their
results early.
This desire to get the news at the
first possible moment may be eonsid-
cred to show too little patience. An
old timer would say that the people
could as well wait and let the count
ers take their time. But the Amer
lean people dislike delays and they
want to get things settled and 90
about their business, which is a
good spirit to cultivate So Off
cials and correspondents who get
election figures in quickly perform
g real service.

4 LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
b s. IS. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

1t is well to unde stand that the
mere saving of money IS no the
sum total Of thrift. This is point
that frequently is not given suffi-
cient attention. Toe often thrift IS
considered Synonymous with tight
fistedness.
If it were true that thrift consisted
merely of narrow minded process
Of boarding. this country would
never have attained its present &
allied place because Of national lead
ers have been successful primarily
through thrift.
Thrift is no more the manisfesta-
ton of seIfishness and small mind
edness than is success itself. Thrift
does away with waste. 1t is care
ful planning and wise spending.
It is efficiency and progress. Wash
ington once advised friend that''it
is not the lowest priced goods that
are always the cheapest. . And IN
this advice ne reflected one of the
great truths of thrift. Spend mon
ey savingly. Save money sensibly.
We have had too much Of one
sided teaching on this subject. Too
much emphasis has been placed on
the word save" and not enough on
the word thrift, in its broad, pro-
progressive sense.
Let us understand more fully that
/ it is essential to save with prudence.
1t is also just as necessary from the
standpoint of progress that we
learn how tospend wisely and achieve
success through the exercise of
actions.
1t would not be possible to extoll
too highly the simple virtue of saw
( ing. Since the dawn of human pro-
gress it has been one Of the most
necessary of all personal practices
Every encouragement should be Civ
en- to those who are saving. But the
good work should not stop there. 1t
! is sometimes the better part of thrift
/ to spend dollar than to save it,
/ and more economical to purchase an
article for $40 than for SIS. The
right kind of spending keeps business
/ going, creates demand for labor
builds up our cities and offers incen.
/ tive and reward for enterprise and
/ proficiency.
Unless we understand and practice
all of these things we do not com.
prehend thrift.
