Election Day With election day a week off, voters should not forget that a good citizen goes to the polls on that day to register his choice for the offices in which there"" are contests. An undesirable citizen stay s at home, and usually grumbles when the results are announced.
No election is so insignificant to warrant vot
ers from failing to go to the polling places. The forthcoming election is imjortant from a local and national standpoint. The election of a United States senator is one
of the important features of the forthcoming de
cision. The two major parties have sent some
of their best representatives into Wayne county. Both nominees have been here to acquaint the electors with the issues and to present their claims to represent the state in the senate for the next six years. It now behooves the voters to go to the polls.
Under the American plan, the ballot box is the place where we decide upon our representatives in the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the government, and also indicate by our preference the general policy which we wish them to carry out. If we stay at home, we let our neighbors perform a function in which we should take a part.
A heavy participation of voters in the balloting
reflects a healthy civic interest in the affairs of governmental business. The voter who absents himself shows that he has little corncern about
the conduct of his government and the.men who
are to represent him.
If it were possible to disfranchise the apathetic voter, he probably would appreciate .the value
of voting. The privilege of exercising the right
of suffrage is a great one; in fact, the whole
theory of government rests on the principle that every man and woman has the right to partici
pate in the election of the men who are to carry
it on. Election day should, therefore, enlist the participation of every qualified voter of the county. Let him look upon this as an opportunity to voice
his decision upon the merits of the parties seeking control of the government and of the nom
inees who are to represent him. The only way
he can do this is by going to the polling places
Tinkering With the Constitution Number of Proposals Ready for Congress When It Gets Back on Job After Elections.
By FREDERICK J. HASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 31. Tinkering with the constitution, -will be a subject much discussed when congress gets back on the job after the elections. Several changes in the organic law of the nation will be proposed an at least one of these will be directed to the purpose of making i easier to effect constitutional amendments. In short, not only Is there a manifest disposition to do some tinkering with the venerable document, but there is insistence that the tinkering
should be made less difficult or accomplishment. The latter proposal is a decided departure from the ideas of the forefathers who framed the constitution and in doing eo made clear their judgment that is should be safeguarded in every way against hasty or Ill-advised alterations. They undertook to "see that no amendments could be effected that had not been scrutinized carefully and that did not have back of it an overwhelming sentiment of the people of the country, and that they made a good job of it is attested by the fact that since the constitution was adopted in 1789 it has been amended only 19 times and ten) of these amendments embodied the so-called bill of rights which had been virtually agreed upon at the time the constitution was drafted and were adopted in 1791. The eleventh amendment, providing that a state cannot be sued by a citizen of another state, or by ciiizens or subjects of any foreign country, and the twelfth, providing for the naming of candidates for president and vicepresident separately, followed within a few years the one in 1798 and the other in 1804. Then there was a lapse of 61 years without a single change in the constitution, with the three growing out of the Civil war coming in 1S65, 1868, and 1870. Forty-three years passed and two amendments were declared in effect in 1913 the sixteenth, known as the income tax amendment, and the seventeenth, which provided for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people of the several states. Seven years later the amendments were made effective which gave the country prohibition and woman's suffrage. Four Carefully Considered. , The last four of the amendments appear to have passed the test contem
plated by the forefathers. Certainly they were debated pro and con for years and were considered with care
and deliberation, and it would seem
that they must have been demanded by
an overwhelming public sentiment.
Indeed, it was the difficulty wltl
which these constitutional changes
were brought about when it was evi
dent that a majority of the people
wanted them that led to the proposal
that amendments be made easier.
Senator Owen of Oklahoma is the
sponsor for this idea and has intro
duced resolutions on the subject in
several congresses. One of these reso
lutions is now pending before the
senate committe on the judiciary. It provides that the constitution may be
amended "in the following manner ana
in no other way.":
"An amendment or amendments or
the calling of a constitutional conventio may be proposed: "By a majority vote of the mem bers of each house of congress;
"By either house should the other house twice reject the proposal, and a failure for three months to act fav
orably shall constitute a rejection. "Congress shall propose an amend
ment or amendments or the calling of
a constitutional convention when re
nuested by a majority of the 6tate
legislatures. Cogress or either house
may submit competing measures." This differs radically from the origi nal provision of the constitution un
der which the congress can propose amendments only when two-thirds of the members cf both houses shall deem it necessary, and can call a constitutional convention only on the application of the legislatures of twothirds of the several states. The constitution stipulates that amendments so proposed shall become effective only when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three-fourth3 thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by congress. Senator Owen would change the
method of ratification by providing that amendments, after being proposed after one of the ways set forth in his resolution, shall be voted upon, not by the state legislatures, but directly by the people of the several states. A majority of the votes so cast In a majority of the congressional districts, together with a majority of all the votes cast throughout the country, shall ratify. LaFollette After the Courts. Senator LaFollette of 'Wisconsin is understood to favor the Owen proposal, but he has one of his
own In which he is even . more
deeply interested. He is one of the members of congress who are jealous
or tne rights, and prerogatives of that
body and he is especially aroused over
what he regards as an invasion of the powers of the legislative branch of the government by the judiciary. Ha
does not believe that the courts should
be able to nullify an act of congress by declaring it to be unconstitutional.
Accordingly he will urge an amend
ment to the constitution which will provide (1) that no judge of en in
ferior federal court shall set aside a
law of congress on the ground that it
is unconstitutional, and (2) that if the supreme court of the United States shall assume to declare any law of
congress unconstitutional, or by ju
dicial interpretation shall assert a
public policy at variance with the stat
utory declaration of congress, which
alone under our system of government
is empowered to determine
policies, the congress may by repassing the law nullify the action of the
court. The LaFollette amendment, which is
said to have the backing of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor, is generally regarded as even more radical than the one fathered by Senator Owen. As the case now is, the' only checks upon the power of congress are the
presidential veto and what amounts
to a veto by the courts. A veto by the president may be over-ridden by a two-thirds vote of congress, but when the supreme court has said that a law is unconstitutional congress can-do nothing except to undertake to bring about an amendment to the constitution to conform to the judicial decision. Senator LaFollette would make it possible to over-ride a decision of the court by a mere majority vote not even as much of a vote as Is now required to pass a bill over the president's disapproval. That such as proposal will be opposed bitterly goes without saying.

Attention is called to the fact that the right hand contains nothing else and that th left hand Is also empty. The quartet is then taken between the thumbs and fingers of both hands, and is squeezed as though being bent. A dime is draws right out of the quarter and both coins are thrown on the table! Where does the dime come from? It is there all the time, concealed between the tips of the thumb and first .two finsers of the right hand, whila they hold the quarter. The outline of the dime is shown in the diagrams. The hand can be shown from all sides (Figs. 1 and .2).

The repugnance to jury duty is rapidly passing, we believe. In Boston the other day a jury in a liquor case was given one quart of rye and one quart of gin, and deliberating over the evidence in the jury room, returned a
verdict of "not guilty." The evidence
presented by the defendant was sufficiently strong to clear him. One New York candidate is accused of being a "Hopper." The worst will not come until they call him a "flapper." Some juries get very sleepy. For instance, there is one referred to by a New York paper when it said: "He spent the terrible three" hour interval while the jury was out taking a nap in his cell."

It is highly probable that the price of turkeys for Thanksgiving dinner would not be above that of the year before. Up to the present time very few turkeys had been brought to the grocery stores by the farmers, and poultry dealers had purchased but few. However, the local grocers were expected to buy up within the next few days. The price for turkeys was set at 15 cents per pound.

IMAGINATION RULES THE WORLD By George Matthew Adams
Solved the Problem "I was almost distracted with stomach trouble, gas and colic attacks and didn't know what to do. I had tried everything I heard of, and the doctor's medicine did not help me. A friend told me about Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, and it has solved the problem, as I can now eat anything and have no distress." It is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the inflammation which causes practically all stomach, liver and intestinal ailments, including appendicitis.

Imagination, not Will, is the force that has ruled the world thus far. Writers hare given false praise to this abused word Will. It Is the Imagination that has always been the master of the Will! The Will always does what the Imagination tells It to do. It's the Imagination that is the master and the WD1 the servant Napoleon, with whom this magic word Will has for so long been linked, fully understood its secondary importance. During the Egyptian campaign it was that he uttered that famous phrase: "Soldiers, from yonder Pyramids forty centuries look down upon you!" And thereupon every soldier felt his Marshal's baton itching within his breast. . Desire was stimulated by what each Boldier saw. On another occasion this master leader of men exclaimed, when he was told the impossibility of crossing the Alps: "There shall be no Alps!" And so there were none, for him not because his Will denied it, but because his Imagination Eaw his army creeping, as one man, to the other Bide. The career of this marvelous man was one of maps, maps, maps pictures of things he wanted done or achieved, worked out long in advance ot his acts. But let this be said 1 of this Will of ours it is the grandest servant that we possess! For it will go anywhere with any message we give to it. Tell it that your back is sore or tired, that your heart is lonely, or that in 6ome minute corner of your bodily machine there is repair to be done, and straightway as Rowan carried his message to Garcia this Will does the bidding of your Imagination. And what wonders are accomplished! All the great teachers of the world have understood this vital, subtle power, though but few have rightly crowned it. Emlle Coue, the great French physician, has come nearer to the truth than anyone. He links the Imagination to the unconscious self and says: "The unconscious self is the grand director of all our funo tions." And furthermore he says: "When the Will and the Imagination are antagonistic, it is always the Imagination that wins, without any exception." What greater task, therefore, can there be than for us each to set quickly about educating these Imaginations of ours to serve us, and others, welL

MELANCHOLY I'm lull of weariness tonight, in vain I strive to shed a grin; the moon that once was shining bright, looks like a planet made of tin. I have two boils upon my neck and two more threaten to arrive, and so I sadly cry,1 "By Heck," and wonder why I am alive. I hear the laughter of the young, a sound I lovett in days of yore, but it keeps my nerves unstrung, and makes my head exceeding sore. I read the works of Sunny Jim, that usdd to soothe my savagereast, but now I'd rend him limb from limb, and throw the fragments east and west. My aunts tune up their lyres and lutees, for music once possessed Its joys, but now I don my hat and boots and leave) the house to dodge the noise The night wind has a wailing sound, it sighs and whimpers by my shack; my poultice weighs a half a pound .and keeps on sliding down my back. It is in vain my brow to deck with wreathes of laurel, fairly won; for I've two boils upon my neck .and wreathes arn't worth ten cents a ton.
