OH, YES THERE WERE ILLEGAL VOTES CAST

The Republican says that The Democrat editor is liable to be called into court to tell what be' knows about illegal Republican votes having cast in Jaspercounty. Well, to anticipate such sail a little, we will tell of one illegal vote that was cast at the election last week in our own precinct. E. L. Hollingsworth, who has resided in the 4th precinct for the past twenty years to our knowledge and was registered there this year, voted in precinct No. 3, notwithstanding that his name was not on the registration books in said precinct -—and no questions were asked. This, of course, was an error of Mr. Hollingsworth, and w r hen the board found that his name was not on their registration books they should have directed him to his proper precinct, for at least two members of the board well knew that „he did not reside in precinct No. 3 and they had no right whatever to accept his vote. Neither did he have any right to vote in any precinet other than the one in which he resided and ■was registered. Of course, he was entitled to a vote in No. 4, so, insofar as the general recult was concerned, his voting in No. 3 made no difference except that he had no right to vote there. We are also reliably informed that dozens of alien enemies--citi-zens of countries with which the United States was at war and who had only taken out their first citizenship papers—were urged to vote by Republicans and did vol. at the last election, notwithstanding the fact that the Republican attorney-gen-eral of Indiana and the board of election commissioners of the state had ruled that they COULD NOT vote, and Federal District Attorney Slack of Indianapolis said, according to the Indianapolis News: An »Hen enemy in Indi: na who

votes or attempts to vote at the elections Tuesday will be sent to a government internment camp without trial, L. Ert Slack, United States district attorney, has announced in a final warning issued on the eve of the elections. Mr. Slack repeated his warning note to politicians to avoid any efforts at obtaining votes b»- fraudulent means, again asserting that prosecutions under the recent act of the congress will follow any such attempts. German, Austrian and Hungarian alien enemies who have not taken out citizenship papers or wbo have taken out only their first papers, are not entitled to vote in Indiana, Mr. Slack said. A ruling to this effect has been made by the state board of election commissioners. The federal authorities have a list of aliens registered in the state and this list will be compared with the voting lists following the elections. In instances where alien enemies are found to have cast their votes, they will be arrested and interned at once, the district attorney said. Reports have reached Mr. Slack’s office from many parts of the state indicating that alien enemies are planning to vote Tuesday, acting on improper advice given them by politicians. Leaders of both the Republican and Democratic parties have issued statements declaring their intention to do all in their power to prevent fraudulent methods at the polls tomorrow and co-operate with the federal authorities in obtaining evidence for the prosecution of any persons who attempt to buy or sell votes. As the Republicans were very anxious to have all alien enemies vote who had registered—-and there were .quite a number of them —we think the inference that they did not vote the democratic ticket is quite plain.

PHILOSOPHY OF WAIT MASON

They told me Hindenbqi'g was dead, that he had kicked the bucket. “This life is such a bore,” he said, “I have resolved to chuck it.’’ They told me Hindenburg was down, that he was dead and crated; and I astonished all the town, the way I celebrated. 1 painted all of Afein street red, my soul was so enchanted; they told me Hindenburg was dead and in the boneyard But Hindenburg still draws his breath, un-. safely and insanely; it was a subr stitute for death that he indulged in, plainly. And now I celebrate tire fact that Hindenburg is liven. He lived to see his armies bracked, and back to Berlin driven. He lived to see hs armies win full many a redhot battle; and he’ll be here when they begin to run like locoed cattle. Big things will .happen yet this fall, the tide of battle’s turning, the Huns will hike for timber tall, for safety madly yearning. From now, methinks, until the end, the Huns will have uo inning; the allies on their trail will wend, advancing still, and winning And it would sadden me to know that Hindenburg was sleeping, while, hiking from triumphant foe, his warriors were leaping. I’m glad that Ludendorff survives, that Kaiser Bill’s still lined up; may they not lose their precious lives until they’ve seen the wind-up.

Official records show that fogs are more frequent on the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire than anywhere else in the United States.

WELD SEVEN WAR WORK AGENCIES INTO RELIEF ARMY

Great Organizations Which Are Helping to Keep Up the Morale of Fighting Millions Unite in Campaign for $170,500,000. With millions of American men on war fronts, in training camps and on the seas and with thousands of American women on foreign soil, all engaged in the stupendous task of making tiie world safe for democracy, a great duty devolves upon those who remain in the United States,—the duty of sending Home to those who have put Home behind them for the period of the war. The agencies through winch tids can be accomplished'’ are joined in the United Wai- Work Campaign. Front being given the cigarette or chocolate bar, with which he stays his hunger in the fury j»f battle, to the theatrical entertainment or the athletic games, which relax him into normal comfort after weeks of terrific combat, the American tighter is dependent upon the continued efforts of the Y. M. C. 'A., the Y. W. C. A., the National Catholic War Council and K. of C., the War Camp Community Service, the Jewish Welfare Board, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. To carry on this w-ork t-lie combined welfare organizations are seeking a fund of $170,ol)0,00b. The Y. M. C. A. provides 538 huts in American training camps and more than 800 in the war zone as centres which the fighters can use as clubs, schools, theatres, stores, churches, libraries and writing rooms. More than 7,000 men and women had been sent overseas or approved for overseas work by early autumn and 3,822 were serving in American camps at home. Y. M. C. A. huts are the canteens of the American Expeditionary Force and are the theatses where the American entertainers, sent ever by the “Y,” appear. Noted American public men and clergymen speak in the huts. Classes are conducted there. Millions of letters are written there on paper provided free by the “Y.” Physical directors of (lie “Y” teach and spread mass athletics, using material furnished free by the organization. The Y. W. C. A. does similar work for the thousands of American women in war work overseas—signal corps telephone operators, nurses and Frencli inunitionVorkers. It provides cafeterias, rest and recreation centres, entertainment and reading for these women and girls. The Y. W. C. A.’s outstanding contribution to soldier welfare work in training camps was the establishment of Hostess Houses, where the soldier or sailor may receive his mother, wife, sister or sweetheart in the surroundings and atmosphere of the best homes.

The National Catholic War Council eo-ordinates all Catholic welfare work in support of the government and through the K. of C. provides clubhouses for our fighters in all American training camps, as well as having seventy-five centres in France and three In England. In their huts the K. of C. provides entertalningment, movies, boxing bouts, educational work, religions services, free stationery, reading matter and writing rooms. In France their rolling canteen accompanies the American army, their secretaries march with the troops, giving away cigarettes, cookies, chocolates, soap and towels. The K. Of C. had 300 workers in France at the beginning of autumn, with 450 more passed by the government. and 200 others signed up. At the same date they had 468 secretaries in American training camps, 150 buildings, fifty-six more in the course of erection and contracts let for fifty more. War Camp Community Service functions exclusively in America, its special mission being to “surround the camps with,..hospitality.” In place of leaving the soldier or sailor to the promiscuous companions and diversions formerly his lot, the organization obtains for him the best to be had in communities adjoining camps or through which he passes. W. C. C. S. obtains for him invitations to dine, bathe or spend the, day in the best homes. It Introduces him to the best women and girls at social gatherings, church entertainments, theatre parties. It arouses communities to provide concerts, athletic contests and other wholesome diversions for the soldier, and to drive out or discourage the vicious elements which have been historic camp followers. The Jewish Welfare Board is correlating the strength and purposes of 100,000 Jewish soldiers, sailors and marines with that of the Gentile soldiers. The board teaches the English language, American civics and ideals to thousands of young Jewish men who were Inducted into service after only a few years’ residence in this country. While safeguarding his religious rites, the board assists in the process of welding the Jewish soldier into the solid American unit and in bridging over the differences between him and the others. The American Library Association Is providing reading matter for every American soldier, sailor, marine and prisoner of war. In addition to gathering and forwarding three million

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

books contributed by the American people the association bought 560,271 books, mostly technical, of which 198,267 were sent overseas. More than 1,500,000 books of all kinds have been assigned to Y. M. C. A., K. of C. or Salvation Army huts in the war zone, a similar number being distributed In American training camps, while half a million are on warships or transports. The association has erected and operates forty-one library buildings. The Salvation Army, with 1,210 Workers, principally women, overseas, has won the affection of the fighters. Its 501 huts, rest and reading rooms are popular gathering places for the soldiers. The doughnuts fried by Salvation lassies in huts or trenches and given to the men have become famous around tiie world. Tiie Salvation Army gave forty-four ambulances to the American and Allies’ armies and in many other ways gives constant unselfish service.

Pulverized peat is being used by the Swedish railroads for fuel with success. There are about 200 separate and distinct kinds of shells fired from German guns. The great cathedral which stands near the national palace in the city o 4 Mexico has sixteen bell towers. The United States’ annual production of sulphur in a dozen years has increased from a few more than 300 tons to more than 230,000 tons. Taffy, a dog living on a ranch in Oregon, pays no attention te the rings on a seven-party telephone line unless the call is, feur rings, which means that the ranch is wanted. Then he rushes to hunt up his mistress, and gives four short barks. A South Daketa builder has suggested a simple method of saving grain in country elevators from fire. The grain bins should be provided with trap doors, in the outer walls of- the building. In case of fire the doors are opened and the grain pours out on the ground. j

ONE-MINUTE FOOD TALKS

Let’s just take it for granted that everybody Is obeying the 80-20 rule, in regard to wheat flour and substitutes, in every way. Well, that’s nice, but there isn’t a whole lot of patriotism in that. These rules, all of them, we really might to take for granted amd as a matter of course—as something that we do with our left hand without thinking. Real patriotism is something additional. Patriotism should have originality in it. It should be full of fire, full of spirit. It should move us to do things on our own accord, things that nobody has thought to TELL us to do. It should be our own stuff through and through. Discipline is absolutely necessary—but patriotism goes leagues farther than discipline dictates.

CORN BREAD—EXTRA.

have bought bonds we can’t afford and eaten food that we HATE that we really start to be patriotic. The food administration has asked that if you make corn bread you make \it out of corn( meal not purchased under the 80-20 rule. Corn meal bought as a substitute should be used in wheat flour. Here’s a chance to be patriotic. Have com bread several times a week at your house. There aren’t any rules that require it, so if you do it, it’s patriotic. Don’t use any of your 80-20 com meal for this. Get some com meal extra, just for this purpose. Make corn bread a patriotic CEREMONY at your house. bread. Eat it as a ritual. Eat it extra. Eat it until it hurts, as they say of buying Liberty bonds. Eat it until the Kaiser is bjflck in the face. Eat it as you would wear sackcloth and ashes—patriotic sackcloth and ashes. Mighty darn pleasant sackcloth and ashes. Pass the corn bread.
