Why Vote? Some voters, men and women, say they don't

Icare whether they vote or not. That may explain why many of them refrained from registering themselves as voters on the first registration day. That also will be the reason why the full voting strength of this and other counties may 'not be listed before the November election. ; But because some persons underestimate the privilege of voting is no cogent reason why the

folly of an erring judgment should not be ex

posed.

One might say, persons having the right to

vote and neglecting or refusing to use it should "be disfranchised; but that would be going to a

; barren extreme. Far better to enjoin upon them

:the high obligation of recording their political preference than ruthlessly to bar them from participation. The right of suffrage has not been universal ; since the dawn of government. The right was often denied. Men and women enforced their right to participate in government by bloody

Struggles. lb WU3 YV X Co LCU . LjfACiiitO Cina j 1 f recalcitrants: written into the law after turmoil I AnSWdS to Questions

and revolution ; made obligatory against the oppostion of enthroned might and dynastic power.

X In our own country, it is safeguarded by the

highest law of the land. Our theory of government rests on the power of the electorate expressed in an orderly manner through the bal

lot. The sanctity of the ballot is maintained

inviolate against corruption and fraud. Men who debauch the ballot are brought before the tribunal of justice quickly, and generally receive summary punishment.

One might believe that every elector wouldi

cherish highly this right of having a direct voice in the selection of legislative, judicial and executive officers representatives who make, interpret and enforce our laws. Especially so in a republic that has provided a direct and effective

method of expressing the popular will and de

mand. We may be sure of this. Every good Ameri

can, every good man and woman who believes in

the republican form of government and in the

institutions that have fructified under our fed

eral constitution, will vote next November. And

to make sure that he will not be denied the right to vote, he will register. If participation in the

election is an indication of good citizenship, then

registration is proof positive of a desire to ex

emplify that citizenship.

It matters not what one's political affiliation

may be, registration just now is the paramount consideration of every man and woman who has neglected to do so, or who entertains the thought

of not taking part in the November election.

. T. L. R. -What Is the origin ot the term "O. K."? It Is a colloquialism. The expression may be used as a noun or as a verb. The origin of the term Is In doubt. It Is sometimes ascribed to Andrew Jackson as his humorous abbreviation of "oil korrect" (all correct); sometimes to an Indian chief.

Old Keokuk, as his signature by

Initials. Another origin of the expres

sion was brought to light In 1909, at the time of the death of Cornelius Kendall of Chicago. Mr. Kendall was the youngest son of Orrln Kenadall

and from his initials the use of O. K.

as meaning "all right" is said to have

sprung. Orrtn Kendall, as tne legena

goes, was a member of the Chicago board of trade battery In the Civil War. He also was a member of the

firm of O. Kendall & Sons, whose

bakery was in Chicago. The firm furnished bread and crackers for the army, and on the crackers were the Initials "O. K." The crackers are said to be the only ones the soldiers relished, and their expression- "These

are all right," later developed Into

"These are O. K."

Reader1 Is stature a sure means of

identifying a race? It cannot be nc

cepted as an invariable guide. The mean height of Englishmen, Indians, and Kaffirs, for instance, would not vary much. This difference Is sometimes made: Teutonic peoples are tall, Rish and Slavs, , medium and stocky,

and the Mediterranean peoples, mea

ium and slender. There are many

exceptions to this rule, however.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

VOICES ' We are being talked to all the time -by voices out of a vast Bilence. In the dead of night do they come to us. Out of long gone centuries they rise, and in words and sounds as distinct nnd certain as the freshly born, they tell us of what we can do and of what others have done. We walk through a mist of voices voices of admonition, of entreaty, of desire, a chorus of voices which tells us of the things of which we are capable and which we ought to do. We are constantly followed by the voices of those whom we love and who love us. Science says that a word of the human voice, once uttered, floats upon the atmosphere forever! So that in reality we are never alone but cherished by voices with all the

intonations of constant life. Not since the world began has there been anything to compare with the beauty and influence of the human voice. And when It floats out into the atmosphere upon chords of kind and generous impulses, It Immediately starts upon its eternal mission. I can never forget the voice of my Mother for it said a million times, "I love you!" Within us are voices. They have come to us by Inheritance and they know the nature in whicji they live. We must be guided by them. They know our fvame and our heart, that it is strong. Let us listen to them. And let us add to the harmony of the world by contributing words with our voices that they may make sweet music to all forever and a day!
