Iectually, and in every other way, he
could be called an unspoiled child of
fortune He had great opportunity
and made the most of it. Americans
recognize in him a fine type of Amer
lean manhood. He was wealthy but
not covetous; thrifty, but without
greed; and generous without being
wasteful. AS a public man he was
kindly, but not credulouS alert, not
suspicious; ambitious, but not envi-
Gus. He had unbounded courage,
tempered by shrewdness, he was firm,
but not unreasonable. In the eyes of
the people he stood for strenuous
life, for publicity and for square
deal.
On his death, ex-President Woodrow
Wilson said of him: "In his death
the United States has lost one of it's
most distinguished citizens, who had
endeared himself to the people by his
strenuous devotion to their interests
and to the public interests of his
country"

ALL-HALLOW-EVEN
(HALLOWE'EN)

The Eve of All Saints Day
A LL-HALLOW-EvE Cor Even9 is
"A known in some places as Nutcrack
Night, or Snapapple Night 1t is now
usually celebrated by children's par
ties, when certain special games are
played. In the country towns it is
also time of careless frolic, and OF
great bonfires.
The custom of keeping the night
has come to US from the Celts. The
early inhabitants of Great Britain, Ire
land, and parts Of France were known
as Celts. and their religion was dl-
rected by strange priests called
Druids. Three times in the year, on
the first of May, for the sowing; at
the solstice. June 21st, for the ripen-
ing and turn of the year; and on the
eve of November LIST, for the harvest
ing, those mysterious priests Of the
Cells, the Druids, built fires on the
hill-tops in France, Britain, and Ire
land in honor of the sun. This last
festival was made a very solemn cere-
mony, the Druids of all the region
gathering in their white robes around
the stone altar or cairn on the hill
ton. On the sacred cairn-which was
a large mound of stones-was sa-
cred fire, which had been kept burn
ing through the year. The Drulds
gathered around the fire, and, at
signal, quenched it. Presently a new
fire was kindled on the cairn, and as
it cleaned in the darkness, the peo-
pie in the valley raised great shout
and other fires from surrounding hill
tons answered the sacred fame. Then
the people were satisfied, for they be-
lieved everything was safe for an
other year.
When the Celts were converted to
the Christian religion, the harvest
festival of the Druids became in the
Catholic Calendar the Eve of All
Saints, for that is the meaning OF the
name "All-hallow Eve" The custom
of playing pranks on Halloween came
from the old idea that this is witches
night" and that all the strange and
wild powers of the air are abroad to
do mischief, but just when and where
the thought arose, no one seems to
know

ONE PIG CAUSED A WAR

TN 1871 a Rhode Island farmer DIAL
lied to release his pig from Tense
and arrived at the polls too late to
cast his vote. The federalists lost
that precinct by one vote; as result
representative who favored war with
Great Britain was elected to the leg
islature, which In turn by a majority
of one elected a United States senator
who favored war. Then the congress,
by majority of one, declared the
war, generally known as the War of
1872"
/ The foregoing is quoted from the
political observations of Richard T..
Greener. It should be re-read and
memorized by the man who says to
himself: "Shucks! my vote doesn't
make much difference. Guess I'll not
go to the polls"
Our country, in it's Colonial days,
fought hard and bloody war to win
its independence and to establish gov
eminent by majority.
This principle of government by ma
jority vote is the most valuable pos
session of democracy.
Yet for many decades there has
been an increasing tendency among
voters not to cast their ballots in
nracidantiaJ olnctiOnS
This tendency has reached grave
and critical point where we are very
close to government my minority.
In the 1920 presidential election, for
every 100 who voted, SO who were le-
ultimately entitled to vote stayed away
from the polls.
Do you want government by major
ity of by minority? You answer quick
ly: "By majority" But you help des-
troy government by majority if you
neglect to register and cast your bal
lot
The yote-slacker, by not voting, ex-
presses Indifference as to what kind
of government we have, good or bad.
The ballot is the foundation of popu-
lar government. By wise use of the
ballot, citizens can remodel our polit-
ical and economic institutions-in
short, can have any kind of govern
ment they want.
Are you really Indifferent about
whether we have good government or
bad?
Is your lone vote unimportant
among millions? Remember h e
Rhode Island farmer whose failure to
vote may have caused war, and
again you answer: "No! thousand
times, not"
| Do you want better government, a
voice in making it better? Do you
want to help keep America a govern
ment by majority? Yes, a thousand
times, yes!
Then be sure to cast your ballot
this fall.

The last chapter in "Glimpses of
Child Nature" little book written by
the author of Jean MitcheIl's School,"
describes six types of teachers. First,
there is the profuse and gushing lit
tie entertainer who doesn't know the
difference between a nursery and a
school, Second, there is the snappish,
ironicaI. sarcastic, suspicious tyrant
who seems to think that the chief end
of teaching is to humiliate little child
rem. Third, there is the nervous ener-
getic, worried teacher, sometimes real
ly sincere, but wearing herself and
her pupils out. Fourth, there is the
self-satisfied, placid, deliberate, lazy
teacher. Fifth, there is the best dis
ciplinarian in the town" who has no
time to waste in teaching. And, sixth,
there is the genuine, womanly woman,
with the missionary spirit, with a
genius born to teach, with a person
atty whose presence brings sunshine,
whose words cheer. and whose smile
is benediction. We have seen all Of
them. What a misfortune it is that
children must come under the infiu
ence of any of the first Eve. What a
misfortune that all children can not
enjoy always the presence of the sixth
type
After all, the teacher is the most
important factor in the school consid-
cred as a process. The teacher makes
the school what it is--a joy OF sor
row to childhood. And it is the per-
sonality that counts. For child to
come in touch with the great sympa
womanly woman is infinitely more i'm
portant than facts in any subject or
mechanical discipline. When will
parents learn that the fussy, sarcas-
tic, coarse, harsh teacher is an alb
solute injury to character and that
she ought not to be tolerated? The
blind obedience with which some par
ents submit to the tyranny of sarcasm
and anger is pathetic. And it is so
unnecessary. We must, of course,
have scholarship and professional
training in our schools; but with them
we must have manly men and woman
ly women as teachers. DR.. F. A.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

A PPROACHING the eve of another
"A presidential election, when politics
fills the air, the discussion OF can

forms is on everyone's tongue, the
country should pause for moment
and reflect on that great American,
the anniversary of whose birth occurs
next Monday, October 81 Theodore
Roosevelt.
Roosevelt has been called "The
Great American" Roosevelt, no doubt,
actually was the greatest of all
Americans in his interest, and activ-
ity in all things American. Americas
history, Americans literature, Amer
ica's art and industry, and Americas
place in the family of nations, all
were aided by this great Amtrican's
love for his country.
He was an ardent partisan, because
he realized that parties were neces-
sary to the conduct of the peoples
business AS representative is elect
ed to act for a certain community, so
is the party man elected to represent
a group with certain idea or thought
in a community AS the group of one
idea predominates in a community or
state the choice of that group or par
ty is naturally selected to represent
the whole community. Roosevelt rea-
lized this as few idealist have ever
done.
Theodore Roosevelt, the 25th presi-
dent of the United State, was born
October ,27. 1858 He died January
6, 1919. Roosevelt's life was very diff
ferent from that of Jackson, Lincoln.

who have been idealized. He came
of a prominent family. He was born
to comfort and had every possible OPP
