APATHY OF VOTERS

If the reports Of officials be correct as to the
small number Of persons who placed their names
uFon the registration lists Saturday. general
apathy and Indifference on the part OF men and
women towards the coming election Is indicated
The very fact that party organizations find it ex-
pediert to urge voters take advantage Of their
opportunity TO be part of government is sugges-
tive that the PEOPLE losing interest in elections
and may have lost faith in the ballot
The fun measure OF popular interest in the com
Ing election viii be shown a month hence when the
nnal opportunity for registration IS given The
present showing may be changed completely and
entirely by an unusual interest in that event
What is probably is that the cid parties
have lost their grip upon the imagination and the
thought Of the ordinary and that he has seen
little change benefit come as a result Of changes
in party government.
There is no deep dividing issue of either econo-
mic moral importance as a dividing line between
the two old parties The most complete fulhllment
OF either party platform domestic issues would
cause but little difference in the lives the bank
accounts of the ordinary citizen.
There a time when the two parties differed
greatly in their promises and their purposes. That
day is gone Neither party has kept In step with
the changed conditions Of the country, its newer
interests its complexities Of industry and Of
Inc people nave Urea OF being given the poor
choice of changing Parties and fnding little or no
relief The swinging Of power from party to party
has only produced disappointment
Some day a leader will appear who will either
capture one of the old parties or start a new
ard present issue and appeal that will leave
for lethargy or apathy.
The voters of Wisconsin, where a vital and
powerful has created host enemies and
a larger host of friends, are not so apathedc.
Possibly the for little interest is in the
fact that the people too busy to be either
buncoed into a state Of high emotonasnl by
chimerical hopes or to be fired to the high pitch
OF anger by resentment.
When politics made interesting to the voter

There must have been something
wroRg with some OF the brothers
over sunday. Two different ynxed
eyed correspondents OF ours inform
ed Us OF flags hung up side down
at the pOstoffice and at LeepeT park.
We read in the paper the other
day that the government at Wash
ington is seriously considering an
issue Of love stamps. 10 be placed
on all love missiyes that go through
the mails so that these particular
letters receive the tenderest care
possible by the postman commits
stoned to deliver them at their desti-
nation.
The Tower considers this a very
fine scheme. 1t will give empoy-
ment to a great many needy printers
and engrayers. and would be iRval-
liable in tipping off Friend Wife II
hubby happens TO be in the habit
Of receiving love letters And Il has
a great many other advantages, but
why stop with the love stamp?
Let's go on with the good work.
For instance, on the monthly state
ments that every married man re-
ceives. why not make il possible
that our creditors can purchase a
special stamp for these envelopes.
in the way of a design for a stamp
on this type Of letter. we suggest
that the engraving feature a nice
cut of the county shediff, who hap.
pens 10 be in office at the time, or
perhaps a cut Of the county trus-
tee. Either personage's map on
such a stamp would be highly sig
nificant TO the recipient Of the col
lection letter, and would do no end
OF good inNwarning him in advance
as to the character of the contents
within. For instance the married
man could make a collection Of these
letters as they come TO his desk or
his work bench the first OF the
month, and after waiting a reason
able length OF time until he feels
that they have all arrived for the
month, he can dump them collec-
lively into a fine large waste bas-
ket, at hand for the purpose, with
out even taking the trouble 10 slit
the envelopes open.
This stamp idea could be enlarged
and elaborated upon until it became
a great asset to this country. Take
the four million notices that were
sent out by the government a cou-
pie of years ago informing the flow
er Of the country's young manhood
that they had been honored by being
selected for military service in the
draft. If the government could have
had the foresight TO have placed a
special stamp, featuring say a head
Of war profiteer, on the four mill
lion envelopes, think what a fine
thing II would have been!
It would have saved the govern
ment a terrific amount Of clerical
work and subsequent effort in put
ting up camps and transporting the
boys overseas II such a stamp had
been placed on all the draft enve-
lopes. There would have been about
six OF the brothers answered the
draft call out of the four million and
all the detail work OF raising an
army could have been eliminated
w would like to see something
tangible done as soon as possible on
this stamp business. 1t looks like a
great thing.

TOWNSEND DESPERATE

What republicans OF the neighboring state OF
Michigan do Tuesday in the matter of the
nomination senator. will be of more than pass
ing interest and importance.
Senator Townsend chose TO approve the methods
by which his colleague in the senate Newberry, OBJ
tanned the nomination and the election.
He chose 10 give assent TO the debauchery thas
comes from the unstinted use Of money to sway
elections and merged his identity and his own
personality with the theory that purchase OF

itself declared be threatening the very foun-

OF his campaign Townsend is endeavoring 10 turn

A few weeks ago I went TO Chica-

in the zone Hundred Year Club"
The president is DR.. Josephine
Paine, an enthusiastic advocate OF
the doctrine that nature constructed
the human machine in so painstak-

of successful operation through a
full century.
In inviting me TO the meeting, she
wrote that the object Of the club is
to defeat Father Time by conserving
youth and spreading health propa-
ganda.
This organization believes that the
knowledge and practice of the fund
amentals Of hygiene and correct
living inculcate the spirit Of youth
and efficiency. 1t believes this sort
of living increases the useful years
and makes glorious, rich and beau
tiful the sunset Of life.
Here is the inspiring motto of the
club:
Young at fifty, efficient at eighty,
remain happy at one hundred"
BY right living and right thinking
the average person should live to be
a hundred. Not only should he live
to be a hundred, but. like Moses, his
eye should be undimmed and his
natural force una bated.
The most fallacious thought in
the world is the accepted belief that
