= Our Opinion s---


The tumult and the shouting dies; the
Captains and the Kings depart.
These lines from Kipling's "Reces-
sional" apply with particular aptitude TO
the scenes which began to develop as the
final election returns came in Tuesday
night. Whether il was in Tacoma or New
York, the only difference in the scene was
in the stage settings and the players. The
general effect was the same.
The Captains and the Kings went their
several ways some to celebrate the VIC
tory, others TO ruminate on the undepend-
ability Of human nature and wonder how
30 many persons who had promised TO vote
for them could have failed to go TO the
polls. That must have been it = they
just forgot to vote.
In the rank and file there was the same
exultation and the same disappointment.
Some of them are still trying to figure out
how II happened.
There was also another group very
much disappointed in the election returns.
II is composed of the folks who stay at
home because they have acquired the sour
complex that no matter how they vote or
which candidate wins, the people viii be
eypped.
Before election they went about declar-
ing that il didn't make any difference
=. the whole thing was fixed, and no
matter who was elected it would be the
same old thing. And as they listened to
the returns they made such remarks as
what do you know about that; fine lot
of public officials we are going to have for
the next two years."
Ogden Nash, who had way Of using
words, described these folks and others
who do not vote. in poem entitled, 'Elec-
ton Day Is Holiday"
Here is one of the verses:
They hare such refined and delicate pal
dfes
That they can discover no one worthy Of
their ballots,
And schen some one terrible gets elected
They SAP, There. that's just ,chat ! er-
pectedP"
But after it's all over, there is this to be
said:
No matter who has been elected, the
character of the service given will be in
proportion to the interest the people take
in public affairs. That's an AXIOM that has
stood since George Washington and his
ragged soldiers fought to make this coun-
try q democracy and give every citizen
right to have voice in the government.

. Saved by The Bell

The war isn't over yet, and anything
still can happen. But il looks at the
moment as though once more the Reds
have been saved by the bell, just as the
pressure was getting almost unbearable.
In the summer Of 1871 the Nazis push
ed the Russians around, close to disaster,
and battered at the doors Of Leningrad
and even Moscow. Then winter rang the
bell.
Last summer, again, il more slowly,
Hitler's shock troops drove the Soviet
forces back. captured oil fields, penetrated
into the outskirts of Stalingrad, announced
Immediately impending victory with fan
fare of trumpets. And once more a
month ahead of time - the bell has rung.
Apparantely Hitler can do anything to
Russia but knock her out. Therein lies
the hope of the world.

II is easy for cosmic planners to brush
off the farm labor problem by suggesting
that farmers wives should help out more
in the fields. But they will have to dig
deeper than that if food is to be produced
for this country and its allies.
With few exceptions, farm women have
been devoting more hours and more wo-
manpower to production. right down
through the. years, than city women will
put into factory work under an about

The average farm wife has been giving
all she has for so long that there isn't

. HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER s

Benefic aspects dominate to-
day, but adverse planetary influ-
ences are indicated. 1t is a for
tunate CONFORMATION for men who
direct business or war activities.
Heart and Home: Good news
will make many families happy
today. Women should pursue rou-
tine tasks. taking care to be too
busy to indulge in apprehensions.
This is a favorable date for be-
ginnings and should be utilized
by ambitious girls. There is a
promising sign for aviation. The
stars presage employment of large
numbers of girls in flying which
in postwar days will become an
everyday activity. Women will
ferry planes on war errands and
even succeed in extensive service.
Business Affairs: Persons with
foresight will entrust as large a
part of their incomes as possible
to the government. Buying OF
government bonds will be accel-
Grated as the year closes. Since
the United States is the greatest
of all nations, investment in its
future should make broadest ap-
peal to all people in the land
Temptation to buy as usual Will
be strong as the month closes and
the annual Christmas mania be-
gins to be felt. The stars prom
Use a brisk holiday trade.
National Issues: Agriculture
viii present its economic prob.
lens with extra emphasis at this
time when there will be promise
of early solution. Adjustment:
between government policies al
fecting workers and farmers will
be made at an early date. The
stars seem to promise farmers
reasonable profits that encourage
more and more scientific produc'
ton. Astrologers predict for the
future vast acreages cultivated
in wholesale lots by means oi
the most remarkable new machin'
cry.
international Affairs: Musso
lini will continue to be affected
for the next two years by th'
passing of Saturn over his nata
planets, while in the coming sever
years he will continue under un
favorable influences. In July
1913, Jupiter will begin a year
transit over his Sun and in tina
month he will suffer from a Mar
square IN Taurus. He will be In
clined to force government issueI
for his Judgment will be errati'

DOESN'T THINK MUCH or
QUIZ TRAFFIC CONTROL

Editor The Times: Since COM
ing 10 Fort Lewis from California
about q year ago I have been con-
siderably shocked by the lack of
traffic control in Tacoma. Being
. member Of the military police
I am in Tacoma a great deal at
night and what see makes me
wonder how the number Of traffic
fatalities Is IS low As II Is.
Chief offenders are women and
high school boys and shipyard
workers coming off the middle
shift. Many Of them pay no at
tention to speed regulations. and
unless there is a police officer in
sight they act as II they are color
blind and can't tell red from blue.
