w YHAT nation holds the world
\h| voting record?
NV In a statistical roundup
of the nations at the polls
we find the answer--and
the distinction is no longer held by
the United States.
Forty years ago, when 80 per cent
OF American voters went to the polls
and voted, this country was in the
hrst column in the point of voting ef-
nciency. But in 1920 and 1924, when
only so per cent of American voters
TOOK interest enough to vote for
President, the United States dropped
well down to the tail of the voting
nations.
Great Britain, from whom we re-
belled in 1875 to establish a govern
ment based on the American vote, ap-
pears to be making a much better rec
ord at the polls today than America.
AT the 1924 election of the House of
Commons, rs per cent of the British
electorate voted, and in the preceding
election 81 per cent of the electors of
England and Wales went to the polls.
so the British are in the running for
the world voting record, and this
country has fallen back among the
also rams"
The new Irish Free State does not
yet poll full vote because of fac
tional conditions, and yet in the last
election polled the vote of so per cent
of all Irish adult men and women,
which is better than half the Amer
lean States can show.
Germany Competitor.
Germany stands a close competitor
of Great Britain in getting out the
popular vote. In the first election of
of the German republic rs per cent
or all Germans 20 years of age and
over voted. In the 1924 election the
vote increased by 1900, 900 and
reached 80 per cent of the electorate,
while in the recent presidential cleo
ton, April, 1925, the German per
centage reached 50.
The six Australian states and New
Zealand present 20-year record where
efnclent voting by women is an excep-
tlonal feature. In the United States,
Canada, and most European countries
having equal suffrage for men and
women, there is usually 10 to 20 per
cent lighter vote for women than for
men. But in Queensland, Australia and
in New Zealand women cast as large
a vote as men. In some elections as
high as "a per cent to 80 per cent of
adult women go to the polls. This is
notably the case in Queensland after
the passage of the 1915 compulsory
voting act. when go per cent of the
women delivered their votes.
A 2O-year average for the Australian
states would show approximately rs
per cent of the electorate voting. and
in New Zealand so per cent. In the
1916 referedum on military conscrip-
ton. the men cast S6 per cent Of their
qualified vote.
In recent 1924 elections. New Zea-
land and Queensland have shown a
record close to "a per cent, and SO
would seem to be leading claimants to
the world voting record. with Germany
and Great Britain close rivals.
Belgium. Holland and Denmark are
not far behind. BY voting districts
these three countries on the North
Sea range from so per cent to 90 per
cent in their efficiency in delivering
the ballot at the polls. Their average
is around rs per cent, or one-half bet
ter than our present American record

observation-disclosures are spark
ling today with wine; to the rhythm of
Gypsy f1ddles, types of extraordinary
beauty are dancing wild dances;
intoxicated senses create an atmos-
phere warm and sweet with the
aroma of the East; at every pause in
the dancing, liberty is glorified by
rhetortcally cultivated speakers as the
most sacred of national aspirations.
Thus Hungary appears to the for
eign guest. He will enthuse at home
of the women's beauty, of the mems
chivalrous behavior, of the liberty,
hospitality, delightful eloquence and
dancing madness of the beautiful
Hungarian land. He will never know,
or If he knows ne will know much
too late, that one eastern boundary

otic songs of Hungary's speedy re-
covery, part of Asia comes to life.
Long Under Tartar Rule.
Hungary formerly was under Tar
tar rule and for centuries lay like
a pompous coffin-lid on Russia s
gigantic body. From the depths of
the same human pit came to light
the MagyarS, who became and re-
manned Hungary's rulers. In Europe
they are only related to the Bulga-
rians and the Turks. In 1883, when
the Turkish hordes took Constan-
tinople from the Christians, d Magyar
of the most ancient nobility rode next
to the Sultan, against whom he had
often fought. Their horrible cruelty
is Tartarian, as is their wild, insatl-
able love of enjoyment.
From the Tartars they inherited
also their hatred of the Slav races
which in the great war was their
greatest attraction. The MagyarS
wanted to block the way to the sea
and the international cattle market tc
the Serbs, their rivals in agrarian eX
ports Therefore they pressed the
Hapsburg monarchy into politics
leaving the brave, Industrious Serbs
their choice between suicide from deS
peration or courageous defense.

stands by Poland and the little en-
tente and insists that Germany shall
accept all her frontiers, then the
British position is frightfuIly un-
comfortable, because as Germany
grows stronger, as is inevitable, she
will challenge the French veto, and
the stronger Germany becomes the
less safe it will be for Britain 10
permit Germany to make good her
challenge by defeating France and
overrunning Belgium and northern
France to the Channel.
Moreover, to complete the picture
you must see that 80 years of peace
now are precisely a matter of life
and death for Britain, of peace in
Europe as we'll as within her own
territories. Given these years, she
may win clear of her present terri
BILE problems. But for France, dur
ing half of that period, at least, she
is safe, anyway; for longer, perhaps,
If she prolongs the occupation of the
left bank OF the Rhine from the Lau-
ter to Holland. 1t is not the next
80 years, but the 80 years thereafter
that France is worrying about.
Thirty years from now the British
Empire will either be so much
stronger that it will not have to fear
any Germany, or il viii have shrunk
so that 1t cannot, even with France,
make any effective resistance to Ger
many; but the most important fac
tor will be the granting or denial of
so years of peace.
But 80 years from now France will
be weaker than Germany, much weak
er than she is now, even if Germany
remains within her present frontiers.
Willie if Germany expands the situa-
ton will be that much worse. If the
British Empire grows stronger, as it
we'll may, 80 years hence it may not
care what Germany does to France,
as it did not in 1870. If Poland and
the succession states Of the little en-
tente should develop in these three
decades, however, they might restore
the balance, if still allied with France,
while If they are partitioned and
weakened, that guarantee disappears.
AT all events. these are the main
elements in the problem.

ROUND the evergreen memory

A ROUND the evergreen memory
~ of Thomas Riley Marshall, the
"A great Hoosier son of Democ'
4 N racy. the Democrats of the
country may find a national
rallying place. The late Vice Presi
dent left behind him many golden
words of guidance for those of his own
political belief, and if the Democracy
is to forget some of its schisms and be
welded together again as a force in
presidential elections, the tenets of
Tom Marshall may we'll be adopted in
a new declaration of principles.
1t was in February of 1920 that Mr..
Marshall made his last formal politi-
cal declaration. He told then just
where he stood when the Hoosier
Democrats selected him as a delegate
to the national convention at San
Francisco. And he stood four-square
with that declaration until the day of
his death last week in Washington.

Mr.. Marshall's statement might well
be written into a brief party platform.
Old-fashioned in a way, it yet seems
designed TO meet every problem.

individual as the unit of good gov

duce justice and good order in society
by listening and acceding to the de-
mands of persons and classes will, in
the hour of peace, produce failure.
The only sure foundation for a stable
republic must rest upon the Jeffer-
sontan right to life, to liberty and to
the pursuit of happiness.
The Democratic party should stand
for this and pledge itself to rebuild the
American political structure along this
line by clearly dividing it's citizens into
the law-abiding and law-breaking;
making it's laws rest equally upon all
men; permitting the individual citizen
who is honest to succeed by honest
methods; giving to no citizen legiSla-
tive advantage; speedily Furnishing any
one who unjustly attains success by
crooked and dishonest means; recog-
niZing that this is still federation of
States; demanding that the States dis
charge the duties of government;
resisting the usurpations of the gen.

$40, 100000 Increase
In u. S. Coffee Bill

An increase of s40,o0o,000 in the
coffee bill of the United States in
1924 is shown in the shipping rec
ords of Santos, Brazil. The fig
ures indicate additional profits of
nearly 51a cents pound to the
coffee planters in single shipping
season. American housewives can
compare the 512 cents more a pound
in Santos with the higher prices they
have been paying for coffee at their
retail groceries. In 1923 $99, SAP sos
was paid in the United States for the
S, ,773,0S sacks of coffee shipped from
this port, as compared with S139 ,007,-
766 paid for 5,6S1,0 ,01S sacks last year.
In 1924 the average declared value per
sack in Santos was S24.47, or 18.4 cents
a pound, while in 1923 the average de-
clared value per sack was $17.24, or
13 cents per pound.

against the whole whatnot of perpet-
ual stress and strain to mind and body
that is now rampant in the name of
health.
Since the age itself is in every di-
rection keyed to overactivity. the
basic idea laid down here is that of
lowering this key to a more whole
some tranquility of mind and
greater composure of body. In
plain, face-to-face talk, therefore,
these authors dwell upon the nature
of rest, upon it's different expressions,
upon its uses and it's effects. They
tell us that muscles may be built by
rest, where we had thought that this
result depends upon strenuous exer-
else alone. They tell us of the rest
Of sleep and that of recreation with
their relations to each other. Beside
this familiar and commonplace treat
ment of the important subject of rest
we are given a gland" course of such
simple account as to convey an idea
Of the nature and work OF these i'm
portant organs, with reservations till
more is known about them, and with
warnings against an uninformed ac-
ceptance of gland miracles" The
whole book is plain effort to put
plain facts before people for their
guidance in an everyday line of be-
havior that is calculated to promote
health and, in part, to stem the tide
of an excessive and harmful activity
Of body and mind.

A tragedy from first to last. The

white mans blood and that OF the
woman of another race--African, Ash
attic. American Indian However dilute
this Caucasian strain may be, it serves
as the leaven of discomfort in OIL
spring, of rebellion against immemo-
rial customs of race, of protest against
discrimination and neglect and con-
tempt. One of the most poignant
chapters, this, in the story of human
life. Such is the story that Mr.. Marks
builds around the person or the peau-
tiful Martha, who cannot escape her
long heritage of race at the hands OF
a dominant people. Martha is the
daughter of g squaw and a white man.
The man, of course, ran away. Chance
took Martha out of her natural sur
roundings and placed her among the
white people for rearing and educa-

romance progresses in the footsteps

this mood and after this manner that
it runs its course to a really tre-
mendous climax, a climax of human
hopelessness. Then, all over, the cur
