citizen does not know, and does
not care, the most intelligent vote
he can cast is not to vote. Volun-
tary disfranchisemcnt is less evil
than unintelligent or irresponsible
voting.
Of course, it is not democracy if
too many disfranchise themselves.
But neither is it if everybody votes,
but few take the trouble to know
or to care, what they are voting
The vote of minority who do care
is likely to come nearer to repre-

votes would do with the votes add

Unless we can arouse the major

KIDNEYS MUST HAVE

and sometimes very painful, this is
often one of the most simple all
ments to overcome. Begin drinking
lots of soft water, also get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take a tablespoon
full in a glass Of water before break

days. This will help neutralize the

Repentance

Read Lk. 1919. Text: 1875. 1 tell
you. Nay: but except ye repent, We
shall all likewise perish.
5, MEDITATION-The question con-
tinually comes to our minds, Why
are not evil doors punished? Why
do they prosper when there is no
sign Of repentance? Gods ways for
others we need not know. We are
to be concerned with our own lives.
The mercy of the Lord is long suf-
fering but the fruit of disobedience
will surely ripen. Repentance is a
matte rof desire and will. If we
desire the good with all our hearts
and put forth our will to turn reso-
lutely from all selfishness and sin
and hold fast to the faith we shall
have the assurance of forgiven sin.
God is waiting to help every man
who truly repents.
God is wide-awake. Nothing is
hid from his sight. There is no
unrecognized factor that can take
Him by surprise. He is wide-awake

DAWES AND THE SENATE

Vice President Dawes certainly started something
when he used his part of the inaugural ceremony for
attack the senate rules The manner of the at
tack has been resented by the senate-not unnatur-
ay-and critized less by the press. The pub
lie will look with interest to whether the new
president of the senate will, can, carry the thing
through in the typical Dawes fashion
Of the evil he complains Of there is no question.
Too many good measures have been talked to death
in the senate. Minorities have been given too much
power. One-nan fiibusters have been permitted to
throttle legislation in the precious closing hours of
session. The idea of gag rule is ntolerable to high
andmighty senator's, they commit the absurdty of
allowing handful of senators to gag all the rest In
their for the sacredness of the senatorial
right of unlimited speech they have turned 1.-The great
est deliberative body earth into the most oquac
Gus body
1t will be good for the senate, good for the gov
ernment good for the country if the senators swallow
their chagrin and do something in the way of enact
ing effective closure law the house has done.
That, however, will not remedy the most serious
amen of the senate in recent years, which is studied
and persistent encroachment the authority of the
executive department. <..,s

VICTORY IN THE AIR

Ant-aircraft guns at Fortress Monroe, firing
shrapne absolutely failed to hit white canvas targets
towed along slowly, in a straight lne by airplanes
at moderate elevations 1t something like failing
to hit flying ducks with shotguns. f -.
When the targets were brought down as low
500 feet, little than the height of the highest
buildings in this country, and the machine guns
turned loose at them. only one bullet out of many
thousands hit the mark
Evidently enemy scouting bombing planes
would have gone through those barrages unscathed.
And what could the enemy planes have done then?
In tests made on the day at Langley field with
the outlines of battleship on the ground, swift pur
suit planes hit the target frequently with 25pound
bombs from height of 5000 feet, then Martin bomb
er dropping under smoke screen, showered the tar
get with gas bombs chemicals and shells, and three
bombers of the type each carrying 1900 pound
shell sunk the batteship.
Evidently city or fleet attacked by enemy planes
would have been helpless. just evidently Amer
lean air squadron could have sunk enemy fleet
successfully bombarded an enemy stronghold.
And the same day, Gen. Mitchells demoton
was announced.
There may be, legitimate criticism Of the manner
in which the assistant chief of the army air service at
tackled and navy policies. But surely after these
tests, added to long array of evidence tending to the
same conclusion there should be no more question
about the need of stronger air fleet and the dimin
ished value of old-fashioned navies
