Try it on your stand-pat friends. The tune will soothe them. Untoreseen Election Results SURPRISING things, even il not entirely unexpected, happened in Tuesday s election, as shown by incomplete returns from Indiana and from other widely scattered States. In their rejection of Albert J. Beveridge for United States Senator, coupled with their choice of a mixed county ticket, thè voters of Marion County demonstrated a marked degree of individuai independence of action at thè polis. There was much scratching of tickets througliout Indiana, and if early returns are to be accepted this was thè feature of thè electi-'n from Massachusetts, where Senator Lodge is sliding in, 40,000 votes behind thè head of thè ticket, out to Kansas, which apparently has gone Democratic with Davis in thè lead for Governor. I Ohio returns, far from complete, indicate that Atlec Pomerene, Democrat, will be succeeded in thè Senate by Simeon D. Fess, Republican, but that Ohio will have a Democrat Governor. The Democrats carried Rhode Island, re-electing Gerry as thè United States Senator, and ousting a Re publican administration by choosing Flynn for Governor Also thè new Governor of New Hampshire will be a Democrat on thè face of thè returns now in. In New Jersey Governor Edwards, Democrat and a pronounced wet advocate, ripped thè senatorial toga from ihrelingliuysen, an intimate insider of thè Harding Administraticn. The added fact that Edwards’ vote is dmost doublé that of thè Democratic candidate for Govirnor, whllo both Hcuses of thè State Legislature renata Republican, makes thè New Jersey result a somevhat ominous waming to thè natkmal Administration and to thè Volstead enthur.iasts as well. From Minnesota comes thè news that Volstead himelf has been defeated for re-election to Congress, while >hio and Illinois se.im to have cast a decided remontrance against thè bone dry liquor enforcement act. ndiana voters on thè contrary showed no sympathy for /et candidates. ■l The magnitude of thè vote pii ed up for Alfred E. Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, jHHther of thè unforeseen outcomes of yesterday’s iection. Sraith's plurality promises to be near thè half lillion mark, thè greatest ever delivered to any candiate in that State and makes him an available presliential prospect. The New York election also brought a new figure luto New York State politica in thè apparent election of tioyai S. Copeland, healih commissioner of New York iìty, as United States Senator to succeed W. M. Calder, Republican. While Democratic gains in Congress were freely prelicted it was only thè most optimistic Democrats who dresaw thè Republican majority in Congress reduced s near to thè vanishing point as it apparently will be vhen all returns are in. Many districts have been ,lùned by Democrats without offsetting gains by Remblicans. There is stili a possibility that President Harding vili have a bare majority in Congress, but tho election .ili convey thè message from thè country to thè White House that-thè people are thinking for themselves. It ;nay have thè effect of causing thè Administration leader to think somewhat difterently about domestic and International afEairs from what they have been thinking.

The Auto’s Death Toll ESTIMATINE proportionately for only 18 per cent (that being thè proportlon of our population not vithin thè officiai death registration area), we find that 12,400 of our feilow countrymen were killed by automobile accidents last year in Continental United States. This means somebody is killed In this way every forty-two minutes. Maybe some comparisons will help usto “get" just how serious this is. An older generation can recali thè awful battles of our Civil War—Bull Run, Shilcfh, Antietam, Chickamauga, thè Wilderness and Gettysburg. \Vhat awful memories these magic words conjure up! Yet fewer Union soidiers died on thè field of battio in all those awful struggies than were killed last year by motor vehicles in America! Waterloo was one of thè epoch-making slaughter pene of all history. yet fewer men, from all thè combatant armles, died on thè field of Waterloo than were killed by automobiles in peace-loving America last year! In thè Great War—thè most awful war of all hißtory—'we lost 48,909 of our boys. That was awful! Yet, every four years iu time of profound peace we kill as many on thè highways of our country as we lost on thè battlefields of Trance, Flanders and Italy! In Ave years deaths by automobile have increased 50 per cent in this country. And thè rate goes on increasing. This daily, hourly tragedy must be ended, some how, some way. Ford’s Future HENRY-FORD-FOR-PRESIDENT clubs are springing up in many cities. The one recently organized in New York is “preparing llterature for an estensive campaign.'’ / The campaign will be wisely managed, bank on that, for level-headed business men are backing lt. It is not impossible that Ford will run for President at thè next election. Nor is lt impossible that he may walk into thè White House when Harding moves out. Strange things happen in politica. Four years ago today, Warren G. Harding had no Idea that he had been selected by thè Fates to lead thè nation. “We never dreamed of it," Mrs. Harding said at Marion durlng thè campaign. Ford gets thè public’s attention easily because he

usually says che opposite of what thè public is used to being told. He is not strong on platitudes and “bunk.” Ford ìs quoted as saying recently in Boston: “Spend your money. Don’t try to save money and be a miser. Spend it. Spend it on yourself—you’ll have thè experience, anyway, and you'll learn how to eam more.”, If Ford ever does go into politics, and if he makes speeches as startling and interesting as this discourse on thrift, thè country would at least have thè unprecedented experience of hearing politicai speeches without anesthetlc powders. His Motive GOLD medals are being pinned on various corporation executives for their good work in thè safety first movement. A specially large medal should be struck for that oowerful force, human selflsbness. For selflshness is back of thè safety first movement, just as it is back of most other human activities. Corporatlons originally began campaigns against accidents, not prtmarily to save human lise, butto save themselves against damage suits arising from thè list of killed and.injured. The humane motive is more existent now. Incidentally, corporations have discovered that $1 spent in preventing accidents often pays back SIOO in lower accident claims. The safety movement is profitable, so it’ll go on, as a simple matter of investment, long aster all of us are dead. In analyzing a situation or a suggestion of any sort a clear comprehension of thè matter is more quickly arrived at by remembering that 99 tiines out of 100 some one is seeking a prosit. When pulley wheels had spokes, people occaslonally got caught in them and were either killed or crippled. Some one invented a solid fly-wbeel, without spokes. It is easy to sell, on thè simple argument that it will save human lise and limb. But thè selfish element crops out i thè invention and manufacture of thè improved, safeuarded wheel —for prosit, a selfish motive. So it goes, tfll thè way from a politician seeking ffice, down to thè simple transaction of borrowing a awn mower. The prosence of a selfish motive in nearly every posible situation and proposai should not make any one ynlcaL The very fact that thè backers of thè “thlng” are tfter a prosit makes its success more certain. Men do those things best, in which they have a chance to prosit personally. It is thè old law of achieve:nent, working toward a definite goal—harvesting thè crop from toil. The prosit sought by thè force of selflshness. of course, is not always money. It may be fame or *the inner satisfaction to one's vanity in having accomplished a good deed. Even charity, according to psychologists, usually i$ a manifestation of vanity—makes thè giver “feel better.”

The Radio Bug GOVERNMENT radio men say thè first year of thè craze has failed to show any let up in enthusiasm. They estimate thè number of recelving outfits now in use has already passed thè million mark. Government experts have no accurate count on thè number of radio fans "listening in,” for recelving sets are not registered. But thè sending outfits, for which owners must have government permits, give an idea of thè growth. There were but three licensed broadcasting stations in September, 1921, in thè whole United States. Today there are 542. In addition to these there are 15,127 amateurs on thè job, equipped with “sending’ outfits. In Indiana there are fourteen of these broadcasting -tations licensed by thè Federai radio inspector, two of them being in Indianapolis. California leads all States in enthusiasm for radio. That State has 66 broadcasting stations as agfinst Ohio with 35, New Y’ork 30, Pennsylvania 29, Texas 28, Wash ington 23, lowa 22, Missouri 21, and so on, down to Nevada. which has but one—at Reno —perhaps to broadcast latest news from thè town’s divorce mill. Permit Usto Say Several Baltimore butchers have been told to mend their welghs. Drive on tax dodgers has started. Drive on taxi dodgers continues. Beyond thè Alpa He Italy’s politicians. Some towns are lucky. Near Wittenberg, Mo., two robbers were killed. Wire says Pershing and his party claim they killed 200 ducks, but doesn’t say how many they did klll. Russian soviet government is five years old now. Like all youngsters it never has had enough to eat. Doctor says fatigue is a disease. Most of us do get sick of work. Greek language has not changed much in 2,000 years. Not even when Greek waiters speak English. The United States is in such a bad condition it is going to lend Cuba fìfty millions.

King Barleycorn Cause of New World Wide War By Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. B.—A new world war is on. Old King Barleycorn is thè cause. Before there is an armistice day, most of thè nations of thè earth will be involved. It’s thè world league of wets against thè world Fa tui e of drys. French wine growers, who have been cut ot? from millions of dollars a year by American prohibition, have formed an association and are raising an enormous fund to help make America legaìly wet once more. The answer of thè Anti-Saloon League of America will be to pour more American doìlars into thè World League for Prohibition. “Make thè whole world dry" is thè slogan. The famous “Pussyfoot" Johnson of Westerville, Ohio, high priest of worldavide prohibition, has been dispatched by thè world league to New ! Zealand to teli thè drvs there how to proceed in their plana to tight oid j King Barleycorn. | Bishop James Cannon, aster making la world survey of temporanee' condi - tions, has been recallcd to America, and, from a desk in thè hational headj quarters of thè Anti Saloon League of ! America here, will direct thè tight for i a dry world.

Harding Delays Action on Relcasc of ‘ War ’Prisoners l'y Times Special WASHINGTON, Nov. B.—The release of any so -called politicai I risoner depends more upon his character or reputation for conimunlstlc tendeneles, than it does up on thè crime for which he wns convicted. or thè letter of thè law upon which that conviction rests, accorci ing to high Government officia Is here. The key to thè Government’ position regardlng agitation for thè release of si>.ty-six men convicted In groups of conspiracy to hamper America’ war-time activities, and now serving sentences of from five to twenty years, is to be sound in Prosi dent Harding’s letter to Father John A. Ryan. Salci he: “These decisione have been delayed because I felt it undosirable to pardon men with I. W. W. tendeneles in n timo when thè nailon was greatly threatened by thè existing industriai strikes.” The two stock arguments of those who are urging umnesty—that thè war is over and all war prlsoners should be lcrt go, and that thè convictions were unjustly obtained on Insufficient evidenco or manufactured testimony—will carry little welght In thè Government’ tìndlngs. Non-Union Coal Operators May Drop Charges By Times Spreta! GITA RLESTOWN, W. Va., Nov. 8. —There is now a well-defined feeling in West Virginia that thè non-union coal operators of Logan County are about ready to drop their charges of “treason” and "murder” against thè hundreds of unlon miners who took part in thè arrned march against Logan County a year ago. Two signal legai victories for thè miners in a single week in thè Jefferson County court here appear to have taken thè “starch” out of thè nonunion operators. 1. Judge Woods’ ruling that pri-vately-paid attorneys for thè non unlon operators eould not—as in thè four previous trials here—conduct thè prosecution of C. Frank Keeney, state miner president, indicted for murder in connection with thè arrned march. If Keeney is tried, thè State’ case must be presented by thè prosecutlng attorney of thè county in which thè trial is held, Judge Woods ruled. 2. Judge Woods’ later ruling—and fully as hard a blow to thè operators as was thè first —granting Keeney a change of venne from Jefferson County. This carne in thè face of thè operatore’ vigorous contention that thè hundreds of miners under indictment were entitled to only thè one change of venne which was gìven them when their cases were sent from Logan County to Jefferson County for trial. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED You know that a man riding on an elevator in a hotel, club or apartment building removes his hat and holds it in his hand when a woman enters thè car. When he stops on thè Street to speak to his acquaintance a man of careful manners always removes his hat and romains hatless so long as he converse. with her. Should he walk along with her he puts on his hat.
