One Blank Space on the Map.

Political geographers who with pro-
phetic pens make maps showing no"
the country will vote tomorrow neglect
to fill with appropriate symbol or
shading one space in the national area
They indicate those States that accord
ing to their Judgment will cast their
electoral votes for Roosevelt or for
Hoover. These judgments differ with
their interpretations of discernible signs
of public sentiment. But there is no
difference Of opinion respecting the
va in which this :ingle section OF the
rational area will vote. And this Tor
the simple reason that it will not vote
at nll. Hence the space remains blank
while all others within State bound
a~ies are shaded with distinguishing
markings. to denote Republican or
Democratic tendencies.
This single space. so conspicuously
blank on the political map OF the
United States, is the District OF Col
un,bia. with the exception Of few
hundreds who are favored in the law
because of technical residence else
where with the privilege of voting by
mail. a community of half million
Americans is disfranchised, Tomorrow
II must stand aside and watch the Ma
ton cast its ballot, denied the right to
express its choice. denied the funda-
mental right of citizenship, forbidden
to vote as do other Americans, although
in all other respects and to the extent
of all other obligations and duties they
are required to do their part in the
maintenance of Government are held
TO observance of the same laws, are
assessed the same taxes. are compelled
to contribute in the same proportion to
the national defense in the persons Of
their men,
This blank space on the map OF the
United States today is the only sure
forecast BY the political prophets.
There may be differences between Re-
publican and Democratic foretellings re-
specting certain States. but nobody can
guess wrong as to the District OF Co.
lumbia. Do these forecasters realize the
iniouity of this condition? Do they
comprehend that the tiny blank space
on the maps they draw and embellish
representing half million intelligent
taX-paying Americans, who in time OF
war must bears arms and offer their
lives for the safety of the country. is a
denial of the fundamental principle OF
representation without which taxation
and compulsory military service is
tyranny?
Tomorrow will be Day of Humilia-
ton for the Washingtonians. Forty
millions or more of Americans. no de-
gree more qualified in respect to judg-
ment or the fulfillment of the obliga-
tions of citizenship. will go to the polls
end cast the ballots that will verify or
disprove the forecasts of the prophets
Half a million Americans will stand
aside and watch. and pray for the day
when at long last Justice will be done to
them in the name of the founders OF
the Republic, who builded the national
structure upon the principle of univer-
sal suffrage for all who are of the re-
ouired age and who bear their share OF
the burden of the maintenance and
preservation Of the United States.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Education.
We've had a very wonderful
Campaign Of education,
With voices thin or thunderful
Enlightening the Nation.
And when election day has brought
The rest that's surely needed
Some further lessons may be taught
Which henceforth should be needed
Recriminations have been hurled
Among the flying banners
Which brought protest from the world
1t said Where are your Manners
Our mood must speedily return
TO sweetness and to lightness
And then once more We'll try to learn
Our lessons in politeness.

Helped BY cardM

Here's the true story of how Car.
dui helped Mrs. H. e. Dunaway,
of McComb, Miss, as written by
herself:
81 was sick and rather discour-
aged. I was so weak and thin, I
was not able to do my work as it
should be done. This made me
fret a good deal, and did not help
my condition.
II had pains across my back
and lower part of my body. My
nights were spent in rolling from
one side of the bed to the other,
hoping 1 would soon go to sleep.
Then when morning would come,
I would be just as tired as when I
went to bed. A neighbor, seeing
how badly I felt, told me to try
Cardui. After I had taken one bot
tie, 1 was much better. I kept on
taking Cardui, and 1 was stronger
and slept much better at night"
