YOU CAN'T STOP
 THEPOLL HABIT
Practice of Recording Public "Senti-
 ment" Is Now on the Increase.
BUT IT IS PURELY BUNK

Of the taking of polls by newspapers and periodicals there is seemingly no end. The practice has this year run be- yond all previous records Some poli- ticians raise an objection. They say that poll showing one party to be in the lead has most disastrous effect on campaign finances. Contributors in one party will not give if they think their side is sure to win, while in the other party they will send in no checks if they are led to believe that their case is hopeless Yet there Is no stopping the poll habit once it has got started. It is in reality a harmless form of plea sure which should not be interfered with by the police power. One poll diff fereth from another in glory; the re suits gathered by one fatly contradict those assembled by another But why mind trifleS like that? Polls make talk if they do not make votes, and 1t IS rec ognized by all social and political phil osophers that 1t is much better for hu- man beings to speculate about an cleo ton than to carry it.
 Political prophets, who also abound in the land, are subject to none of the limitations of analysis and comparison which hamper the collectors of straw votes. All that the prophet has to do is to say, with his eye in fine frenzy rolling, that he sees one candidate or the other triumphantly winning all the necessary States. Even if we do not be- lieve this vision, we cannot disprove it. You may stone prophet, but you can not controvert him before the event. And it appears to be true that more comfort IS to be got out of an opt1mls- tic prophet than out of sanguine news paper poll
