GET OUT THE VOTE

Mrs. John o. Miller, state chairman
of the Pennsylvania League of Wom-
en- Voters, told a truth that needs
constant emphasis when she declared
that democracy is not working if the
people don't vote. pennsylvania" ,"
She added, "was thirty-seventh among
the states in its proportion of regis
tered voters who cast their ballots at
the last presidential election" Mrs.
Miller's statement is in line with a
recent appeal of President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor, in which he urged the labor
movement to work to get out the
whole American vote. "We live to-
day." said Mr.. Gompers, under a
government composed of officials
elected by minority of our people.
The trade unions can do as much as
any other organized force in our ma
tional life toward bringing about an
election in which a majority of the
eligible voters will participate. The
right to vote is not something which
was given to the people, or which
they came by easily. 1t was the re-
suit Of tremendous efforts and terri
fic sacrifice. 1t was gained because
people had the conviction that no
other kind of government could be
tolerated and because they were will
ing to sacrifice everything for that
conviction. The success of democracy
can be assured only by intelligent
participation in the selection of Off
cials and the making of national de-
cisions by an overwhelming majority
of the people. Let the whole trade
union movement begin now and keep
constantly at the job of educating
trade unionists and non-trade union
lists alike to what is a paramount duty
in every election-the casting of a
vote by every person eligible to vote"

LAWBREAKER PRESIDENTS

Presidents Wilson, Harding and
Coolidge, in extending and accepting
invitations to international congresses
and conferences-such as the arms
affair and the present financial dis
cussion in London - seem to have
done so in violation of federal statute.
Section 149, session laws of the
62d congress, final session, being the
emergency deficiency appropriation
act which was signed by President
Taft March 4, 1913, the day he went
out OF office, contrains this rider:
Hereafter the executive shall
not extend or accept any invita-
tion to participate in any inter-
national congress, conference. or
like event, without first having
specific authority of law to do so.
Congress had not authorized the
arms conference when that bodv was
summoned by President Harding,
Congress never authorized President
Coolidge to send Ambassador Kel-
logg, an agent of the executive into
the London conference, at the invita-
tion of the British and French gov
ernments. While the administration
may claim that Kellogg is there
merely to give advice as to American
opinion, the fact is that he is as Dot
ent factor as though he were vot-
ing on every motion.

CANADA DIsCREDITs STORY

Is some one rigging" the wheat
market? The Canadian government
is asking the question. An official
commission will conduct an iquiry.
Some weeks ago the American
newspapers began carrying stories
about "black rust" having appeared
in the wheat fields of Canada. "Ex-
perts" wagged their heads and de-
clared the outlook was gloomy.
Prices of all grains Immediately ad-
vanced. Spectators who had re-
ceived tips grew rich over night.
Standpat politicians rejoiced, saying,
"This will finish LaFollette."
Now, the Canadian government
maintains a million-dollar research
bureau charged primarily with keep
ing an eye on agriculture. The chiefs
of this bureau have no information
concerning the "black rust," which is
supposed to be devastating Canadian
wheat fields. They are puzzled and
frankly suspicious of yankee
tricks"
They have heard stories about the
leaders of American Big Business
working the stock markets so as to
advance the cause of their favorite
candidates and they are wondering if
the "black rust" story was circulated
in the hope that it would assist in re-
turning Calvin Coolidge to the White
House.

THE NEW WAR PROPAGANDA

Look out for the militaristic propa-
ganda now in full blast.
American war-mongers are buster
than they ever have been since the
years preceding the great war. Their
huge profits are threatened-the eff
fects of the peace drive by the
churches and by women's organiza-
tions have reached into congress and
there is the likelihood that appropria-
tions for warlike purposes may be
cut. The imperialists, the sword rat
ties and the munitions makers first
tried to silence the peace drive. They
slandered the noble women who were
engaged in the drive for peace. This
didn't help and the other devices to
which they resorted were equally
shameful and ineffective.
Now they are engaged in their own
publicity drive, and many newspapers
are parties to the scheme. Are the
generals and the war profiteers get
ting ready to save democracy again? =?

CRIME OF THE BOOZE BUYER

BUYERS of bootleg booze are as
morally guilty as the bootleggefs
themselves; but it is not so often that
the charge is brought directly home
to them in words that admit OF no
double meaning. Recently Judge
Maltbie, of Hartford, Connecticut,
had brought before him on subpoena
thirty citizens whose names were
found on trade lists of two arrested
bootleggers. The thirty are promln-
ent in the city, including lawyers,
doctors, bankers and manufacturers,
of the most respectable, social ana
business standing.
The direct charge being instigators
of crime was deliberately launched
against them, and the judge is said
openly to have lamented that the law
compelled him to sentence the Doot-
leggers instead of them. AS ne point
ed at the bootleggers in the dock,
and said:
"These men here have pleaded
guilty to breaking laws of their coun-
try, not in an accidental way, not IN
any outburst of passion, but coldly
and consciously to get your money.
Not only have they broken the laws
of their country, but the trade that
they represent, as every man of you
knows, drags after it every manner
of violence up to murder and piracy,
and the worst of all, bribery and cor
ruption. The trail of the crimes leads
right up to the doors of you men who
have come here and told that you
have played your part in it. 1t is
vour money that causes it. And you

CAN'T MUZZLE COUZENS

Jim" Couzens refuses to be good.
Recently President Coolidge and his
friends endeavored to placate the
Michigan Senator who is candidate
for reelection. He would not be re-
quired to swear allegiance to the
President; the administration would
not enter a candidate against him in
the primaries; he might be as Pro-
gressive as he saw fit.
He was free to do anything il he
would only consent to behave and re-
frain from publicly supporting Bob"
LaFollette!
Couzens replied by going to Wash
ington and insisting that the Special
Senate Committee, appointed to IN
vestigate the Treasury department,
must get busy right away and that
particular attention must be given to
Secretary MELONS failure to enforce
the prohibition law.
Senator Jim" Watson of Indiana
Indignantly refused to be a party to
such a fragrant case of less majestic.
By way of protest, he resigned as
chairman.
Nothing daunted, Couzens formed
a combination with Senators Jones OF
New Mexico and King of Utah-the
Democratic members-had himself
elected chairman and announced that
the committee would begin doing bus

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By George T. Hughes
THIRTY.FIFTH ARTICLE.
Expert Advice.

1t ought to be self-evident that the
in the choice Of securities AS a
matter of fact, people who would not
dream Of acting as their own lawyer
or physician consider themselves
fully competent to invest hard-earned
money on their. own initiative. Even
II they take advice they are willing
to listen to some one no better in
this kind may be given in perfect
sincerity and with the best intentions
in the world and yet be very bad
advice. ..
The business of investment de-
mands expert training and expert
ence. 1t cannot be learned in a week
or q year. A hundred considerations
enter into the problem of just what
particular investment is suitable to
any particular investor. Because
certain bond or stock may be a good
purchase for your neighbor does not
necessarily make it good purchase
for you. He may be able to take
has 4 larger capital. He Si may have we
diversified list of securities that
you lack. Equally true Is it that the
choice of time for any particular
investment Is as important as the
choice of the investment itself. Con-
dftions which affect investment Sc
curities change very slowly. but they
do change, and the fact that it was
advisable to buy some one security
a year ago does not insure against
loss IL the purchase Is made today.
Now, the person qualified by train
ing and experience to give advice on
investment matters Is the investment
banker, an expert who works in an
entirely different field from that oc-
cupied by the commercial banker. The
wise investor, therefore, will consult
an Investment banker before he in
vests any money whatever, and he
will exercise the same care In his
choice Of his professional adviser in
this case az he would exercise in his
selection Of his legal adviser or his
family doctor.

said, would require several years ana
probably would involve acquisition OF
the Pere Marquette, Pittsburgh ana
West Virginia and Virginian rail-
ways.
The steady advance in Erie common
stock within the last year from 2
price of about 10 to almost 30, and
corresponding gains in the preferred
