INTELLIGENT VOTING. In a few weeks now the country must go to the polls and choose another set of federal lawmakers, as well as an army of state officials. The progress and prosperity of the law depends much upon the decisions made in the secrecy of the polling booth on November 7. Many people who speak contemptuously ofpoliticians and government, who groan about high taxes and legislative inaction, yet do practically nothing to improve these conditions under which they fret. Not merely do they take no part in poli-

tical organizations, but they won’t bother to read carefully the news of political developments, study of which will enable them to act intel- | ligently in selecting public officials. I Many newspaper men used to testify that their readers took so little inerest in the proceedings of Congress and ther state legislature, that they found it necessary to cut reports of these bodies down to vexy .small space. Then these people who woulo not read the political news, would find fault when the candidates for whom they voted proved inefficient and incompetent. People often decide how to cast their ballots by the current talk on the streets. Some vote for a candidate because his picture makes him look like a capable fellow. Others • are won over by ardent handshakers, and think that a genial manner and i the appearance of good fellowship | I are more important (han business j ability and breadth of mind and experience. Then these folks complain liecause our lawmakers are not able to remove all the evils from which the country may suffer. The country will have good govj eminent when all the people form ! the habit of attentative reading of good newspapers and magazines, so that they understand the merits of big questions and are well informed about the records of the various as-1 pi rants. OUR COLLEGIATE ICEMEN. American colleges prepared for i the greatest year in their history.

Yale, Princeton, Welleslev, Union, ; i J Pennsylvania, Vassar and Dartmouth, I ■ reached the pinnacle of their prosperity. It is also true of many west | ern colleges. । Fact is that this prosperity for j colleges is due largely to the change in the viewpoint of our educatiosal i institutions. Many cobwebs have i been swept away. Today the college means more I than the accepted understanding of j academic teaching. It means a broader vision of life and a greater understanding of the necessity for the thing worth while. The college man today is to be found everywhere H,e is at the head | of a great banking institution, he is a chauffeur, he drives an ice wagon. | ne tills the soil, he appears in litera-

The answer, of course, is that if all milk wagon drivers were | college men milk would be delievered more orderly and even our babyhood would be helped.

The greatness of the college does . not lie in its being the gangway down whi^h one may walk to file professions. Its worth is in giving to the.

the boy replied. “Jonah said. I’m off you for life, you poor fish.” “rnderstand you are well versed on animals," we said, "Can you give us your impressions for publication?” Here is what the boy said: A bird that can’t sing but will sing should have it’s neck wrung. The cow' feeds a million kids but never blows her horn. The stork brings tax exemptions. All sheepish people are not mutton heads. lllllllllllillllHllllllllllllilP llllllllillllllllll
