Looking out on the dreary day
Thy vision comes before me,
And drives the rain away,
To leave but the glorious sunshine
OF love so pure and good,

The love of motherhood.
THAT love so great and glorious,
That the waters as they swirIed-
Sang. 1.-THE Hand that rocks the cradle,
| Is the Hand that rules the world"
The poets sing of heroes
The martyrs great and good,
But none so pure as thou dear,
With thy love Of motherhood,
"And when thsu diest, thou wilt leave
Below thee here on earth,
Two rusty links of broken chain,
That wither at thy death.
Then thou wilt wait to greet US,
As we travel the darksome wood
Waiting the while to meet US,
With thy love of motherhood.

Cornelius Cole.

I he death of frmer Senator Cor
neliIs Cole at Los Angeles at the age
of fO2 years causes many persons to
feel Al sense Of lpgl'ct. For one thing
he WAS an actor in periods of our ma
tionaH life which to nearly all of US
are as ancient history. He was i man
of the times we read of in books, and
generally even the books are old. Mr..
Cole was born at Lodi, y. Y, in 1892
James Monroe of Virginia was Presi-
dent. Mr.. Cole read law in the office
of William II. Seward. who long aft
er that became prominent in national
affairs and Was a member Of Lin
coins cabinet. Mr.. Cole in 1S43 went
overland to California and lived
through that hectic and heroic part of
our history. Most Americans of to-
day know that period very dimly, and
millions Of them not at all. While the
Civil War was going on Mr.. Cole was
a member of the House of Representa-.
tives. and in 1866 California chose
him as one OF it's members of the
United States Senate. He remained a
member of the Senate until 1873.
A great many persons will make
mental note Of the remarkable fact
that Mr.. Cole lived so long and that
he was quite active and healthy near.
ly to the day of his death. According
to the report his memory was sound
and vigorous. and he was Interested
in present-day matters close up to
his last moment. Mr.. Cole was an
authentic centenarian, and although
centenarians are reported in the press
from time to time few of them can
establish the ella I'm to that length of
life. Beside that, a large proportion
of centenarians, as a large proportion
Of non.centenarians, have done noth.
ing to make themselves interesting to
other people. The case of former
Senator Cornelius Cole is different.

The Duty to Vote.

Last night Mr.. Coolidge and Mr..
Davis made their concluding speeches
to the American voters by radio,
reaching untold millions Of people
with their voices, though seeing. none
Of them. This is new method of
campaigning. and it has played a
large part in the canvass which is
today ended with the casting Of; the
ballots.
The two speeches made last nAyht
were different in character, though
designed to the same end. to aroo sc
the people to the Importance Of 4 S.
charging the highest duty of citiZ.t 4.
ship and today depositing theU vota
in the boxes Mr.. Davis made an ar
peal for support at the polls. Mn.
Coolidge appealed to the electorate td
express itself. saying nothing of q
partisan nature.
Far more important than victory
for one party or the other is the
fullest possible expression of the pub
lie will. Mr.. Coolidge put his plea
upon the ground of the maintenance
Of the Institutions of this country
He stressed the point that if the in
dividual fails to discharge the obliga-
ton the whole Nation will suffer
loss from that neglect. The people Of
the country are sovereign. II they do
not vote they abdicate that SOW
ereignty.
1t was the President OF the United
States. rather than the nominee Of the
Republican party, who said last night
10 his invisible audience:
l therefore urge upon all the voters
of our country, without reference to
party, that they assemble tomorrow at
their respective voting places in the
exercise of the high office of American
citizenship, that they approach the bal
lot box in the spirit that they would
approach a sacrament, and there. dis
regarding all appeals to passion and
prejudice, dedicating themselves truly
and wholly to the welfare of their
country, they make their choice Of pub
lie officers solely in the light of their
own conscience. When an election is so
held. when a choice is 80 made. it re-
suits in the real rule Of the people, il
warrants and SUStains the belief that
The voice Of the people is the voice of

The Election Returns.

A wide variation occurs in the
hours at which the ballot boxes close
in this country today. The range is
from o'clock to 8 pm, in terms of
the local time prevailing at the voting
regions. In terms of Washington time
that means a range of from 4 to IL
o'clock. South Carolina and Kentucky
close their polls at 4, which is o'clock
here for the former and o'clock for
the. latter State. In Florida, North
Carolina. Virginia and West Virginia,
which are in the same time zone as
Washington, the voting ceases at sun
down, which is about o'clock. In
Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, in
this same time zone, the closing is at
s, which is the hour Of closing also
in Michigan and Nebraska. 9 O'Clock
here; Utah, 10 o'clock here, and
Oregon and Washington, II o'clock
here. The latest hour Of closing is
that in Minnesota, where the boxes
are sealed at o'clock, or 10 o'clock
Washington time.
The voting in the West will deter.
mine the result of the election at
present reckoning: Mr.. Coolidge,
carrying every Northern State as far
West as the Mississippi. must secure

Another Slaughter.

1t was Il shocking coincidence that
a bus laden with passengers should
be struck by a train near Hampton,
Va, and IL persons killed within As
hours of the killing Of 10 persons in
a Embarrassing accident in Chicago.
This crossing is in a settled section.
and is blind in that the view of the
tracks is obscured by houses built
close to the four corners SO that an
approaching vehicle may be driven
upon the rails without any warning
whatever of the approach of the train.
There are, it would seem, no gates or
other safety provisions. Several acci-
dents have occurred there in the past
few years, yet it has remained un-
guarded. Now gates will probably be
provided, those being the first move
toward security, yet, as the Chicago
tragedy illustrates, by no means de-
pendable.
The maintenance of the Hampton
crossing is not so fragrant a neglect
as that which has occurred in Chi
caSo, where the traffic is undoubtedly
very much heavier and the risk there
fore much greater. In Chicago gates
at least were provided, whereas in
Hampton nothing was done to insure
any degree of safety. There are hun
dreds of just such crossings in the
small towns of this country, where
responsibility is placed exclusively
upon the drivers of vehicles. That re.
sponsibility should not rest wholly
upon them, although in the conditions
they must bear it.
These wholesale sacrifices at the
points where streets and roads inter
sect at grade with rail lines are cost
ing enormously. Within two days 81
lives have been destroyed at two
points for the lack of effective safe
guards, that might have been in
stalled for a slight cost. In Chicago
there were, it is true, gates, but in
charge Of a drunken watchnan. At
Hampton there was nothing. In both
places the highways might have been
carried over or under the tracks, at,
of course, considerable expense, but
one not to be compared with the cost
in humanity.
