"to exercise their voting right as sim pie patriotic duty" Unless all citizens are reused to go to the polls they can not truly be called Americans.
 eve talk of Ameticaniaation we even carry on AmericanizAtion work for others, and yet those who can boast of education and knowledge of public affairs are the ones who neglect the balloting privileges and responsibilities Ten weeks from Tuesday we choose government heads and decide issues. win we have . verdict from the intel. ligent majority?
 At every election the party machines bring out a controlled illiterate vote, while the intelligent vote, uncontrolled except by itself, sits supinely by without even trying to see what the vote of all the people would mean.
 Year in and year out intelligent citizens discuss governmeht--what is right with it, and what is wrong with 1t. Fault is chiefly found with the use and misuse of governmental machinery ; a criticism that indicates an interest in government, but which cannot be con. structive if it ends in talk. No mastef how just the condemnation may be, it is only destructive unless backed by ballots. The ballot in the last analysis is the voters only hold on eovernnent Honest administration and efficient management may be promoted by pub. lie opinion, but are actually gained only by votes, cast one by one, as everJ precinct leader knows"

A TREE MONUMENT

In a speech recently delivered in the house of representatives, dealing with forest devastation in America, Martin l.. Ravey, representative from Ohio, cited beautiful tribute to a tree. Mir. Davey said that on the occasion of his addressing the Rotary club of Elyria, O., the president of the club introduced him with this story:
 ''I have the most wonderful tree in the world out at my house. Some if teen years ago I had a little boy who was then three years old. In the early fall he would go out to gather up the buckeyes.
 'The little fellow would gather the buckeyes, sometimes by pocketfuls and sometimes by basketfuls, and would bring them in and play with them. One day he took sick. The next day he was better, so he went out as usual and brought in just one large, fine buckeye and played with it. The next day he died"
 After a little pause he continued:
 ''I took that large, fine buckeye ant carried it with me all the long winter took 1t out every little while anC looked at it and was reminded of him And then, when the springtime came, went out and planted it down under hi sand pile. Later the sand was takel away, and the buckeye sprouted ant came up, a healthy little plant. Thel built fence around it to protect it and called the boys of the neighbor hood together and told them the story asked them to help me protect thi tree. told them they might break any thing else I had-the windows in m house, my automobile or any thing els but please don't break this tree. The have respected that request and tn tree stands there today 15 years old, healthy young specimen, the most woI derful tree in the world to me-"
 There is in this living tree not alon a monument to a little boy who diet but also a monument to a fathers low American Forests and Forest Life.

"Poor Minniel Why was 1t one couldn't help saying Good Lord r heart feltly when one heard she was coming to tear And why did one never have the heart to refuse to let her come to tea? She was pathetic, but pathetic in such a boring way. There are some people you like being kind to, people you want to help and befriend. But poor Minnie had. none of these charms.

Women Interested In Other Things
 Besides Society

Indicative of women's growing inter- est in politics, and especially the care full consideration given to issues to be decided at the polls, is the announce ment by the National League of W0- men Voters of the publication of the platform of four political parties. In a small pamphlet the league has arr ranged the platforms of the republican, democratic and prohibition parties and the conference for progressive political action. the four political bodies to which the league recently presented suggested blanks based on measures in It's na- tional program.
 It is believed that this is the first time that so many party platforms have been published together for purposes of study. Publication of the platforms carries out the specifications in the league program adopted at the conven- ton in Buffalo, when the study of 1924 party platforms was recommended under the heading, Education in Gov ernment and politics" In addition to the platform the pamphlet contains a short explanatory foreword and the league blanks as presented to the par ties.
 The publication, the foreword states, Is undertaken as a matter of service to 'those more thoughtful voters who may wish to have the official platforms for convenient reference or compara- tive. study" It also points out that passages in the platforms bearing di- rectly on the subject matter of the leagues blanks are printed in bold type.
 The platforms deserve careful read ing, No woman voter, interested in pol itics and good government can afford to go to the polls without thorough knowledge of the platforms on which parties and candidates stand.
 The publication Is useful. Voters will find it worthwhile as a starting point for summer conversation, both spicy and profitable.
 "Unless intelligent voters come to the fore at the coming November election the United States is approaching an election in which illiteracy will have a menacing influence" members of the League of Women Voters declare in discussing the leagues campaign to bring out its goal of 20 per cent in crease over the 1920 vote. Only 49 per cent of the people voted in 1920.
 Pointing out that national educa- tionaI authorities claim there are 4,SOO,' 900 illiterates, over 21 years old, in this country, Miss Sherwin, national league president, calls upon intelligent voters
