THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evenina: Except Sunday, Dy Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Buildinjr, North Ninth and Sailor Sta. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered At the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Se and C!aas Mail Matter. On Voting American citizens will exercise one of the mightiest functions ever entrusted into the hands of man when they go to the polling places on election day. They will decide who is to be their president for the next four years. They will choose their ruler, their king, their emperor ; and after they have elected him, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that if the party he represents does not carry out their wishes, or if he and his party show themselves recreant to duty or incapable of administering the nation's business, they will have the right to put the man and the party out of power at the conclusion of his term. V We Jbave become so accustomed to go to the polls on election day that few of us stop to think about the awful struggle that preceded this privilege. Few of us will recall the sacrifices men brought to enable a people to dictate who shall be their ruler. Few will recall the pages of

history on which are written what men suffered and dared before the priceless principles of free government, republican government, government controlled by the people, was written into the constitution of the United States. If all of us went to the polls feeling that we were exercising a sacred privilege, purchased by blood and sacrifice, we would look upon the occasion as one of the important functions of American citizenship. Nothing . could persuade us to vote for an incompetent man ; nothing could persuade us to sell our vote for the price of money or for the personal gain that might come to us if our party went into power. We would be above such sordid considerations and would vote as MEN for MEN, and we would leave the polls with an exalted spirit, feeling that we had taken part in. a sacred rite. Keeping the Skeleton in the Closet The British Parliament has decided to postpone - consideration of the Irish question. The best place for any family skeleton is in the steel vault to which only a few members have the key. Let the British Parliament bring out the Irish skeleton and its dry bones will arouse all Ireland to fury. Parliament was wise in postponing discussion of that topic. In the meantime the Irish skeleton may be locked up, but no one knows how soon some enterprising Irishman may not burst the door and dangle the bones before Parliament.

Bacon and Politics Bring Tears

"AAA

Miss Sarah Addington and Fiance Argue Respective Merits of Wilson and Hughes and Capture Illustrated Space in Sunday Supplement Which is Good Publicity for a Woman Suffrage Association. ' .

POLITICS, assuming the bellicose attitude of a Mars toward a Hymen, stepped between Miss Sarah Addington and Howard Reld, two Richmond young people who have chosen New York for their field of endeavor. At least, such is the context of a half page Sunday feature article sent out by a big newspaper syndicate showing instances where fiance and fiancee are hopelessly split in their political sympathies. The story bears the ear marks of a press agent yarn for the Congressional Union and the National Women's Suffrage association. Both Come from Richmond. Mr. Re id la a Republican lawyer and he votes. Miss Addington is a Democratic publicity agent for a suffrage association and wants to vote. Mr. Reid went out of Richmond high school and Earlham college with a reputation for oratory and maintained it through Harvard and the New York bar. Miss Addington left Richmond ditto, and ditto. But, according to the Sunday feature article, Mr. Reid evidently gets the jump on Miss Addington in arguments over politics by letting her exert a woman's privilege of assuming the long end of the conversation. He answers with mottoes. The account does not say that the political arguments have caused a lasting split. The two are engaged to be married. The engagement was announced In Richmond several months ago by friends of Miss Addington, whose mother is Mrs. B. C. Addington, a prominent club woman here. Mr. Reid lived northeast of Richmond. Stands for President. Read part of the story: In a year's time it will probably be of very little individual difference whether Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes stands at the helm of the American flagship. But the fact that Howard Reid could reduce Miss Sarah Addington to tears on the street may well persist in the memory as an example of the pernicious influence of politics! Miss Addington and Mr. Reid both come from Richmond, Ind. They have known one another many years. He is a young Republican lawyer. She is assistant publicity director of the National Woman Suffrage Association. Neither, therefore, is at a loss for an argument. And hers are all in favor of the present President. "But, I ask you," said Miss Addington, "how are you to argue with a man who always answers in mottoes?" Answers With Motto. This, it seems, is the method of Mr. Reid:

Miss Addington, in defense of her hero, Wilson, points to the horrors of

war in Europe and contrasts them with the happiness at home. "Peace without honor," replies Mr. Reid. She speaks of the terrible complica

tions that might have ensued from a strike, and argues Mr. Wilson's dread

of national disturbance. "Duty without fear," says Mr. Reld. Of course, it is possible that this method is more subtle than it sounds. Mr.Reid is a graduate of the Harvard

Law School and presumably compe

tent in his profession. Indeed he misht have been pardoned his Beeming lack of inspiration, had he but confined

himself to his highly concentrated es

sence of argument. But he dldn t

but that in itself is not an excuse. It all began over the bacon and eggs. Mr. Reid and Miss Addington live in the same boarding house. The argument was still on when they reached the street. It came to a climax near

the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth Street Station of the "L." "What on earth's difference does it make what you think?" was Mr. Reid's conclusive summing up of an argument. "You can't affect the election, anyway. YOU have no vote!' Needs Chivalry Course. Misa Addington was immediately dissolved in tears. And now when a young man may thus address a young lady a very small young lady, with very large brown eyes and of very definite and

distinctiYe charm, it la time that the G. O. P. opened a course for its con a course, let ua say, in. political gallantry. "Doesnt he ever say anything sensible?" I asked Miss Addington sympathetically. "Well," she conceded, "when he was speaking in the West for Mr. Hughes he used to -write me very long, reasonable arguments. Really, his letters are much more convincing than his conversation."
