have hundred per cent turnout in
an election. There will always be
good reasons why some people cam
not vote, but it should be possible to
attain again the voting efficiency
shown in national elections before
1900. 1t is fact that in eight out OF
eleven presidential elections from
1856 to 1896 inclusive, over eighty
per cent of those qualified went to
the polls. In the election of 1876 al
most eighty-six per cent of the poten-
tial vote was cast.
Many reasons are given in explana-
ton of the indifference of voters since
1900. Many voters enormously believe
that their particular vote is of no i'm
portance. yet in a recent primary. a
successful candidate was nominated
by a majority of one vote.
A very important reason for indif-
ference is the long ballot" Many
citizens, appalled, at the excessively

was directly responsible for arousing

Beginning with the campaign of
1924, numerous public-spirited organ

combat the growing indifference of
the American electorate. Something

Has the agitation had any effect?
Is the indifferent voter being aroused

may be cited to show what has hap

was substantially the same as four
years earlier. The get-out-the- vote
efforts apparently were ineffective
But. in 1928. the result was more
favorable. approximately sixty per

out to go to the polls,
In 1882. the result was still more
favorable. for in that year about
sixty three per cent of the electorate
saw fit to cast their ballots. This was

ROAD SAFETY

Every citizen, especially the auto
mobile driver, should give serious con-
sideration to the need for more caution on
the public highways. The death toll
mounts annually, causing loss of valuable
lives and untold suffering Much property
is destroyed in the process. All because
drivers refuse to obey few simple rules
as to the manner in which they operate
their automobiles.
Safe driving is not matter of great
intricacy. To regulate the speed eof the
car so as to have it constantly within the
management of the driver in case of emer-
gency is not terribly difficult TO watch
side-roads to ascertain if careless drivers
are about to enter without sufficient look
ing can be done. To exercise patience in
order to save his own life would not be
difficult if the driver kept this fact in
mind
The pity about the increasing num-
Der of wrecks is that very often careful,
considerable drivers are wrecked by care

fool who is hugging the "inside" regard.
less of the right of way. driver we'll

ed and injured by fool trying to pass
another car around a curve or near the
brow of HILL
Drivers who violate simple rules of
safety should be arrested, regardless of
whether there is an accident or not Driv-
ers generally should practise courtesy, as
most of them do, such as dimming lights
when approaching other cars in the night
time. Signals indicating that the car is go
ing to turn off the road are easy to make,
and are due the driver of the car following
you. If you stop your car, get entirely
clear off the pavement; if you leave two
wheels on you make it impossible for two
cars meeting at that place to pass safely.
The only way to decrease the heavy
toll of automobile accidents is to make
drivers generally more careful. Safe driv-
ers should have some way in which to re-
port careless driving on the highways, so
that by Furnishing the needless driver an
example may be made to deter others from
endangering human life. There are en-
tirely too many accidents. Too many fine
lives are being obliterated, all for the sake
of a few minutes less time in travelling.
Speed is not, necessarily, in itself dan
gerous 1t becomes deadly when it CO.

unforeseen happenings driver can not
