Ladies and gentlemen, am here to
take the part of the tin soldier. He

boy and break his nose"

demand that ne be punished"
Mister Fuzz Wuzz took a hammer

VOTE AND YOU SHALL BE
SHAVED is LAW

Well, in Santo Domingo, a new law
for the presidential election is that
when man casts his ballot he shall
be shaved. An official razor will
nick off a spot of hair to show ne has
voted. This keeps voters from re-
peating. So, you see, some candidate
may win or lose by close shave.

While down town today looking for
new rumors to start, Mrs. Gossip ran
into several of her old rumors which
had grown so she failed to recognize
them, so now she can use them all
over again.

show them their parents pictures in

A COURT DECISION WITH
4 KICK

1t may be that the Supreme
Judicial court of Massachusetts
has started something" in a de.
cision just handed down by it.
Under Massachusetts law the
apportionment of state senators
and representative must be based
on the number of legal voters.
The House was in doubt about the
meaning OF the term and it appeal
ed TO the court. The latter an
swers that a legal voter is a reg
istered voter. In other words, il
is the dictum Of the court that leg
islative representation is determ-
lned by the number of citizens who
take the trouble to have them
selves registered as qualified vot-
erS.
In the decision may be the germ
of a new idea useful in other
states in getting people to register
and vote. Massachusetts won 4
name long time ago for it's de-
votion to the principle mo taxa
ton without representation" Now
it is winning some notice with d
| court declaration of the principle
representation according to regis
| tratiOn."
And why shouldn't it be so?
Able-bodied men and women who
fail to register and to vote fore
close on their own right to voice
in government, and they do it
n
titled to little consideration. n any,
in determining how they shall be
represented in the halls of legisla-
ton. They are even less entitled
to representation than those who
do not vote for the reason that the
franchise has not been conferred
on them.
Time and again we are faced by
facts indicating that the fine
phrase about the people ruling is
largely buncombe. Most of the
ruling. in the first analysis, is
done by a compa ratively small part
of the people, frequently by a mi
nority. that minority being made
up of those who have the citizen
shin decency of registering and
voting.
Missouri voters had before them
a few. weeks ago twenty-one dis
tinct proposals for as many amend
ments to the Constitution, alias
the basic law of the state. There
had been years Of preparation for
this popular referendum. En-
thusiastic leadership was on the
job. Elaborate organiza ton had
been in action to bring out the
voters. Many of the proposals
were important enough to merit
the vote of every man and woman
IN the state, positive or negative.
st. LoWsanS were presumed to be |
particularly interested, but the
voters Of that city fell down mis-
erably. On a home rule amend
ment the city vote was 37,267 ayes
and 1854 nays, a total of 1891
votes in a city which had popula-
ton of $4,000 in 1920. Out over
the state the result was not much
more creditable. /
Sooner or later, if the voters do
not mend their ways, some form OF
compulsion will be brought to bear
on them to make them understand
mat voting is both a duty and a /,
privilege. IN some measure the
vote s'ackers of ssachusetts
have disenfranchised themselves
by their failure to register. They
deserve all that the court decision
IN question will bring upon them.
and good deal more in the wav of
legal discipline When constitu-

Postmaster A. b. WEIGH returned
Saturday evening from Chicago where
he spoke to an audience of about 400
members Of the Chicago Historical
Society. He was invited early in the
year to speak on the Indian lore of

lures to the historical facts which the
society already possessed. The Chi
cago society is one Of the strongest

tailed account Of Mr.. Welch's visit

While improvement in sentiment
still outstrips gains in actual buying,
the developments of the week are main

results from winter wheat threshings;
further gains in corn crop conditions,

maintenance of good conditions in cot

of the drought in Atlantic coast states
and gradual but steady growth of
buying for fall in the states west Of
the Mississippi from Texas north to

prices for, wheat have converted the
cheaper fuel feeling previously noted
into actual buying. In other areas bet

better buying. although the shoe and

purchasing; wool Is selling better at
higher prices and the iron and steel
trade is doing slightly more than
while ago, although pig iron and scrap
