In the same states I have heard both men and women excuse their failure to take part in the primaries as in a few days they will excuse their failure to vote. Coward's Speech " 'Everything's In the hands of the machine, anyway,' one woman said. 'My vote wouldn't count.' "I call that a coward's speech. It is precisely as if a private soldier when the charge is sounded, said, 'Well, the enemy has it all planned to beat us. I couldn't change things, I'm only one person I'm going to drop my gun and quit.' "In war time we shoot men for acting like that and while I do not advocate a firing party at sunrise for the slacker voter. I do hope for the day when he and she can be made to feel that to fail to vote 13 to desert in the face of the enemy.

.u uie. i nave neara it said in one place that both tickets are so bad neither deserves support. That is a shallow and ignorant plea, for the men on both tickets c-yinot be equally undesirable. No party would dare to Put a wholly bad ticket in the field. The 'plague on both your houses' attitude is the attitude of the mentally inert. It is clear to thinking minds that the vote for the better man, even if the better does not please us is infinitely more sensible than not to vote at all. When, as it sometimes happens, one man on a ticket runs far behind his party because voters will not support him1, that man seldom conies up for election again. Voting for the best men offered is the surest way to improve the quality of candidates in the next election and it Is the only way. "I speak of danger to our institutions but I am by no means despondent. I feel that within the past few" years we have made a definite advance in public conscience. It is only a few years since a certain small political boss used to display the suit-case in which he carried the poll-tax receipts of the voters he controlled. He does not venture to do so now for we have ceased to jest about political corruption. The tendency to take our politics seriously is marked but the day when political duties are universally recognized as duties has not yet dawned. We have not yet come fully to realize that freedom must be balanced by personal responsibility; we do not yet fully realize that liberty lays on all of us obligations to which the enslaved are not subject, and we do not heartily know that the only safeguard of our freedom and our right3 is conscientious use of the ballot."

Ohio is First to Announce List of Good Fertilizers
Selection of "Standard Dozen" Fertilizer Calendar Follows
Conference of States Held in Chicago Plan ' Keep List Before Farmers.
(By Associated Press) COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 6. Of five
states which were represented at a
conference on the reduction of useless
fertilizer analyses, held at Chicago lato in October, Ohio is the first to
have prepared : a "standard dozen
fertilizer list, within which, Ohio farmers are advised to confine their fertilizer purchases in the future, it be
came known here today.
At the Chicago conference, agronom
ists of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Wisconsin picked out1 13 combinations of fertilizers commonly offered by commercial companies, and stated that these analyses were sufficient to meet all of the crop and soil needs of their states. ' Each state, separately, agreed to. pick. 12 of this list of 13 as the "standard dozen" fertilizers within its borders. Firman E. Bearhead of the department of soils at Ohio State university, was Ohio's representative. Returning, he went to Wooster, ' where experiment station officials joined in the preparation of a list that will be announced later. Keep List Before Farmers.' The college plans actively to keep this list before farmers. Twenty-five thousand envelope and windshield stickers bearifig the 12 recommended analyses have been ordered, and they will be distributed " to farm bureau members all over the state. The college, of course, is not recommending brands, but only ceytain analyses of acid phosphate and . complete fertilizers, which all, companies manufacture, and which any farm can mix at home. No analysis on the list, Prof. Bear said, will add up to less than a total of 16 percent nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash. Officials of 13 fertilizer companies, consulted as to the practicality of the analyses said all could be mixed, and that to concentrate manufacture and sales - energies, on those analyses would affect consid
erable economy.
According to Prof. Bear. 57 varieties
of fertilizer are now listed for sale in Ohio, many of them of such low power as to be next to useless.

In the early days corn meal was the main dependence of the American people. Nowadays too little use is made of this nutritious food grain by the average family. The main reason for this is that most cooks know only one or two ways of preparing corn meal.

"A recent decision of the United States supreme court followed by injunction suits instituted by public utilities against county treasurers to prevent the collection of taxes on the 100 per cent assessments of the utilities puts the question of repraisement squarely before the state tax commission," said Mr. Dyer.

RAIL CROSSINGS HOLD ATTENTION OF BOARD
Discussion of the condition of the North Eighth street Pennsylvania railroad crossing of a proposal to install overhead . crossings at West Fifth street where it is crossed by the Richmond and Indianapolis division, and a proposal to remove old buildings near the Pennsylvania tracks and North Nineteenth street, were matters taken up by the board of works, Monday with representatives of the Pennsylvania railroad. A suggestion that the Eighth street crossing be laid with emulsified asphalt, which has met with success in other. parts of the city, was not received favorably by railroad representatives. They said this material could not be used where heavy traffic went over the tracks, as it would break up. They promised to have the board crossing relaid within 10 days or two weeks. , Completion of the first alley south of Main street, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third streets, was reported by the city engineer. . The cost was $1,470. - Complaints regarding automobiles which make too much noise in the vicinity of the Glen Miller Sanitarium on North Twenty-third street, were referred to the city attorney to see if the city has authority to place signs in that vicinity calling attention to the muffler laws.
