DAILY GREETING TO OUR READERS Day afterth speech to day, and night to night Tells of Thy power and glory. So would we, Thy children, duly, with the morning light, Or at still eve, upon the bended knee, Adore Thee, O our God! —William H. Burleigh NON-VOTING STARTLING IN AMERICA Elections are controlled by about one-half the total number of citizens who are qualified to vote. In other words in national elections, even in Presidential years, only about 50 percent of the eligible vote is cast. In 1920, when the vote for President was the greatest ever cast, the grand total was almost 27,000,000. And yet more than 25,000,000 persons, of age, and having qualifications to vote, did not vote at all! This is a menace that should startle the whole country. Along this line reform is needed more than in any direction selecting the election of government officials and the determining of government policies. This is a shirking and evasion of duty which is alarming. The most startling phase of items that the habitual non-voter usually is a responsible, high class citizen in all other respects except as to voting. There should be agitation and eventually it may be necessary to have legislation to compel those eligible, to vote, or else disfranchise them, temporarily or permanently if they persist in absenting themselves from the polls. Conscription of voters is an ugly thought. But the menace of non-voting is an ugly situation. They are beginning again, in Cuba, to say it with revolutions. To which Uncle Sam will says "Nay, nay!" 1928 CONVENTIONS FOR CALIFORNIA California should have one or both of the great national political conventions in 1928. San Francisco made a valiant attempt, this year, to procure one or both of the conventions. Party expediency held both conventions well to the East—one in Ohio, the other in New York. But by 1928 the political power and prestige of the Pacific West should be such that statute party leaders should see the advantage of bringing the national convention. 1928 CONVENTIONS FOR CALIFORNIA California should have one or both of the great national political conventions in 1928.

But by 1928 the political power and prestige of the Pacific West should be such that statute party leaders should see the advantage of bringing the national conventions to this state and section. There will be much work to be done to induce the conventions to come to this state. A long and insistent campaign of education and persuasion will be required. Californians should be a unit in this. First, agree upon the city. Then all pull together for that city. Whether it can be San Francisco or Los Angeles, or some one of the smaller cities of the state, there should be agreement among Californians as to the one city to support, then the backing of that city should be wholehearted by all parts of the state. In this way, there would be hope of success in bringing one or both of the great political assemblages to this state. Let the campaign managers fumigate partisan politics this summer and eliminate the gossip, scandal and defaming. It should be a clean canvass, devoted to discussion of real issues.

THOMPSON PARAGRAPHS By ROBERT QUILLLEN Almost any plan of redemption will work if mankind will. A specialist is a man who thinks of an infant as a container for adenoids. The artificial fly concealing barbed hooks is a device used to catch fishermen. Philosophy at least helps you to believe you are mowing the lawn for exercise. Ah, well; wives who can't have their own way provide a nice living for nerve specialists. "Dangerous curve ahead" is a good sign; but it's a bad sign when dangerous crooks get ahead. There are lots of ways to make easy money, but the darned grand jury forever meddling. You can travel far from the evidences of civilization, but you can remain at home and do that. Any scheme to help Europe work if we should take the precaution to label it "unofficial;" Hostile submarines probably couldn't reach these shores unless commanded by experienced rum runners. The nearest approach to perpetual motion is the political machine that runs on the apathy of the people. There was no politics in Adam's day, so the forbidden fruit that got him into trouble probably wasn't a prune. There can be no particular objection to the family skeleton unless it is permitted to wear a bathing suit. WHOS WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS LOTTE HELLER Frau Lotte Heller, Austria, is one of the most interesting of foreign women who came to the U.S. recently to attend the congress and school of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, held in Washington and Chicago and then tour the country. Frau Heller was born in Vienna and while very young was interested in literature and gave lectures to working women. After her marriage she went to live in Brunn, an Austrian provincial town, and centered her interests in the woman's movement. Her lectures to women of the middle class stirred them to more independent lines of thought. She was engaged in journalistic work at this time. Frau Heller was the first member of the international "suffrage committee" to realize the importance of women in putting an end to wars and she propagated the meeting of women at The Hague in 1915. The Austrian revolution made it possible for women to hold meetings of their own and at their first great gathering Lotte Heller spoke to over three thousand people. She is the leader of the press bureau of the Women's International League and was the only delegate of the Austrian section of the league to attend The Hague congress in 1922. As a member of the executive committee she is continually furthering the cause of women's ideals toward peace and freedom. MRS. GEORGE ORVIS Politics is by no means a recent "fad" with Mrs. George Orvis, Manchester, Vt., who is one of the feminine members of the Republican national committee and will play a leading role in the fight for women's rights.

The first dose stopped my cough. It was a stubborn cough and I had been troubled with it since the first cold spell." Best for coughs and colds. MRS. GEORGE ORVIS Politics is by no means a recent "fad" with Mrs. George Orvis, Manchester, Vt., who is one of the feminine members of the Republican national committee and, as such, will play a leading part in the coming Republican presidential campaign. Mrs. Orvis' political career started in 1884 when she accompanied her father, David K. Simonds, on a speech-making tour of Vermont in the campaign of James G. Blaine, Simonds, a Civil War veteran, journalist, lawyer and ardent Republican served terms in both houses of the Vermont legislature. Since the death of her husband in 1917, Mrs. Orvis has owned and operated Equinos House, a summer hotel at Manchester. In New York City, where she lives during the winter, she has been a member of the boards of directors of many charitable organizations. She is now managing the Nearly New Shop which is conducted for the benefit of several charity organizations. She was recently re-elected president of the board of trustees of Manchester village for the third consecutive term. In the 1920 campaign Mrs. Orvis was vice-chairman of the Vermont Republican ways and means committee. She is known as a woman of exceptional business ability and experience.

As carefully bearing the big pane, they proceeded toward the window, there gathered the usual crowd, including two young fellows who appeared to evince more interest in the proceeding than anyone else. When 15 minutes had passed, one of the youths, growing weary of the extreme deliberation of the workmen with the glass, turned to his companion and said: "We may as well be moving on, Henry. They are not going to let it fall." An Irishman was walking along a road beside a golf course when he was struck between the shoulders by a golf ball. The force of the blow almost knocked him down. When he recovered he observed a golfer running toward him. "Are you hurt?" asked the player. "Why didn't you get out of the way?" "An' why should I get out of the way?" asked the Malachi. "I didn't know there were any assassins around here." But I called 'fore,' said the player, "and when I say 'fore' that is a sign for you to get out of the way." "Oh, it is, is it?" said Malachi. "Well, thin, whin I say 'tove' it is a sign that you are going to get hit on the nose. 'Folve!'" SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON Swallow fences all you please. That won't keep you from disease. Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying INCONSISTENT ON BUREAUCRACY — Brooklyn Protests against the grievous burden of bureaucracy means new. The fact is that protests against bureaucracy of the features of the Declaration of Independence have taken trouble to refresh your memory concerning that document, you will find the following charge laid against the City of England: "He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent militia swarms of officers to harass us and eat our substances." Setting up a democracy, or to be more exact, a representative government, did not end for long the burdens of supporting an intensive officialdom. Early in our history the multiplication of lie officials became a camaign issue and the outs permitted the ins for maintaining an extensive and expensive system. But when the outs got in, they continued the policy of defending the bureaus of the government. Probably the most serious clash of the Ins was voiced by the Democrats in 1912, but no civil did the Democrats get in, in 1913, than they proceeded to build the number of bureaus and the number of public employees. Crazy reached its height in the Wilson administration. The Harding and Coolidge administrations have been opposed to government bureaus in general, are never again bureau in particular. If any candidate for office were any, specify the particular bureaus he would endeavor to abolish, would find difficulty in making a frank and unevasive answer. Adhere members of Congress who denounce bureaucracy and generate new bills for the establishment of new bureaus.

Even the most practical, material man knows that all as not possess any goods, nor even any friends, of neighbors. He and possesses his thoughts of them. And so our real possessions, to our neighbors, are our dollars, or our acres, or our clothes, or household goods, chattels, but the way we talk about them.

THOUGHAS ARE TRUE RICHES — Freeso Republic It takes no philosopher to tell us that our only true opinions are our thoughts. Even the most practical, material man knows that life is not possess any goods, nor even any friends, or neighbors... but possesses his thoughts of them. And so our real possessions, to our neighbors, are dollars, or our acres, or our clothes, or household goods, chattels, but the way we talk about them. Men and women talk about business and clothes, about men and men, about themselves, their own health and about man things. By and large we do not talk "intentionally." We talk sively, at random. How important it is then, that we should lay the foundation on our every day life, for our future conversation. It is an old observation that when a man and a woman together the woman subtily, or otherwise, talks about the man talks about himself. The woman expects to be admired and she knows the best way to get attention from a man it talks about him and let him talk about himself. The more things a man can get for a woman the more he likes it. But the more she talks about herself the less he liked it. He much prefers her to talk about him. Naturally, men, especially when with other men, talk about their business. "Out of the depths of the heart the mouth speaketh." "For where your goods are, there will your heart be also." It is the man who has ordered his life well who can talk about his business and talk about it, but not too much. For it man who thinks too much about his business is doing himself much of an injustice as though he did not think and talk about it at all.
