| straw vote will be similar to the
polls that are taken by party organi-
cations sixty and thirty days prior
to elections. 1t may be more sig
| nificant than such party polls, or it
may not be, but apparently it has
been s~afeguarded against ballot
stuffing' by the over-zealous friends
of the various candidates,
Straw Votes Do Not Elect
The great trouble about straw
votes is that they do not elect any
body to anything. They are not
final and they are not necessarily
honest expressions Of opinions or
preferences. A man may name half
a dozen different candidates in as
many different straw votes and then
go into the voting booth at the prim-
airy or on election day and vote for
still a different one. In fact he may
exercise his priceless p~rerogative of
changing his mind daily up to the
time he punches the buttons on the
voting machine or marks his ballot
and sees it placed in the box.
Who can recall any straw votes
that Warren G. Harding carried
prior to June, 1920? Yet he was
elected President by a plurality of
more than seven millions. 1t is
also probable that a straw vote TAX
en- almost anywhere in the United
States in 1895 would have shown
William Jennings Bryan an easy win
ner, and yet Mr.. Bryan has made
several starts for the White House
without arriving there once. Wood
drow Wilson, on the other hand, was
not notably strong in such prelimi-
nary, informal balloting, but he was
twice elected to the Presidency when
it came to the voting that actually
counted.
Straw votes may be said to indi-
cate the trend of sentiment, but
they also have something to do with
making sentiment. The American
people are strong for the bandWagon
in politics, as we'll as in the circus
parade. They like to go where the
crowd is going, if they a find out
in time, and the straw vote points
the way. They see a certain candi-
late take the lead in the early bal
loting and If they are not dead sci
in their preferences or ~prejudtcef
they are likely tc decide thai he Is
the candidate they favor-and have
favored all the time.
This is not true of all people, buf
psychologists say 1t is true of a sur
fciently large percentage to hav
q decided bearing on the final result
of a straw vote. The only way Il
eliminate this factor would be t
withhold all publication Of returns
until the complete t%abulation is an
nounced, and it is scarcely to be ex
pected that a newspaper or maya
zine would go to the trouble and ex
pense of conducting such a pol
merely to get a single story in on
issue out of 1t.
> AS to the rl-ults of the first 1872
straw vote as shown in the earle
returns, the politicians general
class them as more interesting tina
important. The experts will wait un
til the complete figures are availabl
l before they will attempt to evaluat
) them, and even then they will no
be sure that their deductions ar
correct.
At the outset, Henry Ford. Presi
dent Harding, William G.. McAdoC
Herbert Hoover, James NJ. Cox an
: Charles E. Hughes are the leaders
; but the real dependability of tn
straw vote WI not be a~scertaine

ing in the primaries next spring.

NO SPECIAL TAXES

Why should there be a special state tax for the improve
ment of penal and correctional institutions, any more than for
building armores, maintaining the National Guard, erecting ad-

work? And this last probably is
the most important of all.
A man with even mediocre
ability and less talent will be able
to make more substantial sue
cess in a vocation in which he is
deeply interested, than will the
genius who has natural ability
to spare but is looking for his
pleasure in life along entirely
different lines.
Before you can hope to achieve
any kind of a success you must
have liking for the business or
profession in which you wish to
succeed. Otherwise, you are
wasting your time.
The simple question what
gives you pleasure ?-if properly
answered will disclose more of a
mans character than anything
else that can be asked. It is most
remarkable that so many people,
when asked this simple question,
will only be able to give vague
answer, proving that the entire
educational system is deplorably
deficient when man hasn't even
learned, at a ripe age, what his
real aspirations in life are.
What we actually aspire to is
not the mere accumulation of
money. 1t isn't really to become
famous and respected, but to de-
rive as much pleasure as is pos
sible and as much well being as is
possible from this life. These
things can only be attained thru
striving for some ideal, by de-

of the Zionist Organization of America.
The charges appear in the latest is

What passed between Ford and the

puts two facts together, says the paper.
Arabs in Palestine announce Mr.. Ford

to do some work in Palestine. Immc-
diately thereafter the Governor of Jc-
r,isalcm pays the new found ally Of the
Arabs IL formal visit and speaks in
praise of his abilities"
The failure of Storrs to make any
statements as regards the Jewish Mi
tional Homeland in Palestine is also
criticised. "The plea that such a state

lations of the Colonial office is not

Moscow-A "self-help' month has

the benefit of the thousands of Jew
isli orphaned and homeless children of
the Ukraine. These children, who are
commonly referred 10 as 'Bedouin' by
reason of their homeless and wander

thousand. Suffering the panSs of hun
ger, and unprovided with any of the
restraining influences OF home or school,
many of the children have turned TO
crime to obtain their sustenance. y
number of them have even resorted To
murder.
Realizing that their plight constitutes
one of the gravest menaces to the fu-

has been wide response to the appeal
for their relief Collections are being
