MACHINE vs BALLOT.

Massachusetts has been going through the experience of a recount over almost the entire state to. determine the exact plurality of Senator Lodge in the recent election. It was undertaken in the be- lief that he had not been elected and that a recount would substan antiate such view. The first declared plurality gave groand for such a feeling, and it developed as time went on that while there had been some big errors made :A the figures the chances of Senator Lodges oppanent being counted in were slim, though it was made clear how gen orally incorrect counts figure in the election returns under the system of voting in Massachusetts and other states where the ballot is used.
 The reeo1nt has served to direct at tentiea to the inaccuracies, to the many instances where voters are actually dis franchised and to the iInpOssibiiity oi counters Interpreting the desire of the voter when technical rulings are follow ed, as of coufse they must be.
 Under such situation, and the reve. latiens that have accompanied it T MaSszchnsets, it is no more than should be expected when there is manifested g need for giving serious consideration 1T that state to the abandoning of the bal lot for voting machines. The Spring field Union believes that 1t would be ad visahle for the proper officials to inves tigate again ''the merits of voting ma chimes which for some time have beer used in Connecticut with increasing sat iEfaction."
 Not only is there speedy disclosure o the veae, but 1t has been recorded witt accuracy, voters have not been perrn;. l ted to vote for more than they are enti tied to and thus lost part or all of thei vote. Errors made in Massachusetts in ! voIved both candidates, which goes t | emphasize the uncertainties of the. present system.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Nicholas Longworth,. who is slated for the republican leadership in the lower house of the next congress. has repre- sented the First district of Ohio for near ly twenty years. His career in the pub lie service has beeP a long and credita- ble one, yet to the public at large he is perhaps best known by reason of his marriage, in 1906, to Miss Alice Roose- welt, daughter of the late president. MT
 Longworth was born in Cincinnati in 1869, the only son of the late Nicholas
 Longworth, one of the wealthy men of the southern Ohio metropolis a genera tion ago. He graduated from Harvard in the class of 1891 and after a course in the Cincinnati Law school was admit ted to the bar in 1894. Before entering the national political arena he had had the benefit of experience as a member of both houses of the Ohio legislature

THE PKEsIpENr,s MEssAGE.

When President Harding addressed the special session of congress in be- half of the ship subsidy legislation which he pointed out the country needs, he made plea for checking a waste and through the course advocated es- tabEshing economy. Well did he lay emphasis upon the fact that 1t was time to give consideration to this matter from the standpoint of national well fare and to consider it in the light of present day conditions.
 Of the utmost importance was the part of his address which directed at tention to the fact that through the handling of the merchant marine as it Is being done today a large annual loss is being experienced. It is 8 loss that should be greatly reduced and 1t eau be so reduced. according to the presi- dent through the adoption Of tAe con structive plan that he urges.
 It Is certainly no time to continue to spend s50,6eo, 900 a year in making ID losses when better operation of oar mer- rllsnt marine and it's reproduction could be secured for hah that sum. It Is a business proposition that the president bas placed before congress, and he puts It plainly when he says: "When y6ur execntive g0vsrnment kn6Ws Of public expenditures AggreEating nfty miili6ns lnhually, which it believes could be re. tUced by half through a change Of pol. tcF your government would be unWorthy Sf public trust if such a change yer. not commended; nay if it were not in. sistentIy urged. And the pity of 1t I, fiat our present expnaditare in Iesse. is not constructive. It locks to no tu. tnre sttainmeAte."
 likewise it is fmpeSslDae to dlsakret with the president when he inaiss tAa nov is the time for stopping saeh need less expenditures. Even if the suhsidy faea has not been favored in the past 1 is preferable to a plan than is new cost ing us much more It is not a matte whose fate should depend upon geo graphical. occupationaI, professional C, political divisions, but "it Is a common cause with it's benefits conannoni, share6."
 The president has set forth the mat Ter to congress in way that ought t, break down whatever prejudice that ex ists against it. From all indications -th. opposition comes from the fact that it il subsidy that is under consideration, f done for the highways on the land why not the highways of the seas? I t means a saving Of 20 to 30 millions why balk at 1t because of the name?

A Little Talk on Thrift
ENTHUsLAsM,

A great deal has been said and writ ten about the value of enthusiasm, and, While we must not under estimate it's place in our personal lives or in our bus Illness activities, it is well to bear in mind the wisdom of Goethe's observation that. enthusiasm is of the greatest value, when we are not carried away by it.".
 Even in the matter of saving there is such thing as being carried away by enthusiasm. The iniser is an example of this. In order to save and get ahead steadily it is vital that we always keep our feet on the solid ground of prudence.
 To be efrective, saving must be con tinuous. The person who pinches and saves every possible penny for a short time and then gives up and quits, will never reach the goal of independence or success. Therefore, it is we'll always to have in mind the matter of moderation. Saving a reasonable amount regularly gives ever increasing stabiiization and strength.
 When we are strong and well we are apt to pay little or no attention to mat ters of health, Then if we become i'll we suddenly become greatly interested ir the care of our physical being and we fee I that when we recover we will never agai1 allow ourselves to become neglectful. It is the same way regarding financia l matters. In the vigor of youth or 1T
 times of great prosperity, we are apt tc disregard the value of thrift. We drif

country is getting TO be alarming. It
has been proven beyond any doubt
that is the most injurious way Of
using tobacco. It takes away or
rather weakens the will power, it
lessons one finer sensibilities, and
lowers ones physical vitality. Many
cases of consumption have been
traced directly to the use of ciga-
rettes. And yet they smoke them.
