It’s about all over but tallying the vote and doing the shouting. This i 8 a good time to rememberj that th<‘ man worth while can smile any way. With tlie election over let's get down to business and boost for Adams county and every town anti section in it. After all our community is the biggest and most important' thing. Let’s make it the best place to live in the world. Tlie rush of voting this morning was tlie most rapid ever known here aud elsewhere, an excellent sign, showing proper interest in this important election. By nine o’clock the vote in this city was as large a 8 it usually is at noon. Reports from everywhere indicate that an unusually large vote will be cast. Talk about your fine days for an election, yon will have to go some to make the day an excuse for any wrong voting today. By the way the weather the past two months has been as ideal as any autumn we can remember and that's going back four or five decades. After a miserable spring and a summer slightly below average, the months of September and October have been ideal. The democratic .campaign in Adams county closed with the largest rural meeting of the month of speeches. It was held at the Kolir school house in I nion township and the building proved too small for the many who tried to get in and it was a rousing, interesting meeting. They do things over in Union. The only other meeting last night was a smoker at headquarters, well attended and quite interesting. Several speeches and an entertainment by the Schurger band made the evening a delightful one. Tlie public should respond cheerfully to the treasury's latest request. It appears that there are too many quarters in circulation and too few' half-dollars being passed around. The treasury requests that from now until Christmas the public make an earnest effryt to accept the halfdollars in preference to the quarters. Otherwise the treasury and federal reserve values will be loaded up with the stuff while 25-eent pieces are rattling around in all pockets. The treasury declares that there is an ample supply of 50-cent pieces but that there i .omething of a shortage in the smaller < (linage. The public's duty is clear: it must receive half-dollars till it hurts. ® *'— r ~r. Shut that door!

Face to Face With’ Ella Wheeler Wilcox 11i. (Poetess ( “Laugh and the world laughs with I you, weep and you weep alone." were the words of cheering welcome with i which the author of those famous [ lines greeted me as 1 entered the , i “bungalow" from out of the pouring rain, for it was a sou'wester day. ' This was at the last home of Ella • Wheeler Wilcox at Short Beach. Granite Bay, Connecticut. “You have alomst convinced me that you believe in your own poetry” 1 replied, shaking the rain from my hat. I She took me up to her literary I workshop, a small room with two wtndjbws. 'furnished in white, rem- . inanding a splendid expanse of sea ' and coastline. Books, books everyi where, and a dainty desk arranged lin a businesslike manner where she i wrote every day, with a system of

• one attending to regular business | duties. Here was a setting in complete ' harmony with her work, for the I bungalow stood on a rocky point, surrounded by this wonderful bay. which she had christened “Granite Bay." instead of the unromantic and| inappropriate name of “Short Beach." The little house itself was almost covered by the great oaks which grew close to the water's edge. So . near was the house to the water that jit seemed like a ship at anchor, and the big living room was therefore known as “The Cabin.” "I find that I must write something every day, even if I have to. figura-i tively. lash myself to the chair to do it. Expressing myself definitely on paper does not come easy to me.' Don't you find that writing is drudg-; ery? I do. It seems that we receive credit least for the things we work 1 : [hardest on. and yet that work may!i be the reason for the things which I come to us without conscious effort i tor which we are praised." “How about those lines you just 1 quoted. ‘Laugh and the world laugh; i with you,”' I asked. Ah.” replied, “those are the < very lines I had in mind, for they - were a long, long time coming to me " < This made me wonder how much i of her own personal life was reflect- i

on the weather long in advance of hit- v mans, and the reason they have been^ 1 so numerous this summer is because j they are laying in a specally big hoard ; of provender for the winter which < they iorsee will start early and stay; 1 late. Maybe the long, cold winter is going to be localized among the Y'aki-' < mas. Let's hope so. anvwav -—_ I, The election is about over. At six l o'clock the polls will close and within an hour or so returns will begin l coming in over this county, state and nation. Much interest is manifested? This office has arranged for receiving complete returns that we may serve' the pubic to the best advantage. A 1 special United Press wire has been installed in the front room upstairs and from six o’clock on through the night, will furnish telegraph bulletins | and stories concerning the state and nation. These reports will be flashed upon a screen opposite from this of-! flee. Downstairs, the reports will also be read and in the meantime the 1 returns from over the countly will be: received by telephone, arrangements having been made to open all the, lines of the county. The returns will also be received at republican headquarters in the Graham & Walters building on Second street and by radio in many homes and offices. There should lie no difficulty in ascertaining results tonight. We invite you trf come to this office or to telephone us during the night. Call 1000 or 1001 or 953 if you want this office. -— o ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ ♦ TWENTY YEARS AGO TODAY ♦ ♦ 20 years ago tbl* day ♦ , ♦— ♦ ; ♦ From the Dally Democrat fllee ♦; | ■| Nov. 4, 1904 —Dr. A.

Then I thought it Is everybody’s life; she has struck the common heart chord, recalling that she was born a farmer girl in Dane County. Wisconsin, with her dreams that were more than realized when she was presented at the Court of St. James as an American woman who had touched the hearts of a mil-

lion readers. Picking up a letter on her desk, she said: “Here is one of your heart throbs. I have just received this letter from a friend—a friend whom I thought understood me. It pierced my heart | like an arrow, for in that letter was the poison of envy and jealousy from one whom I had helped, sneering at ‘triumphs because her own verse had been rejected. Because of this letter I wrote this poem. 'The Arrow,' but even after the poem had been mailed I sought to recall it. fearing that this friend might not understand Oftentimes I think the best things that come to us to write are ' repressed because we fear that they might hurt or wound the feelings of I some individual friend.” And so it was that even under the most urgent and tempting offers she refused to use her friends relentless with the scapel and dissecting knife for the delectation of readers, even though it might add to her fame for cleverness and brilliancy. Her interest in mysticism was the outgrowth of a yearning to help others. There were moments when she wanted to be alone, other times when she wanted her frinds about her to chorus the songs of happiness, which were to her an endless refrain in verse.
