TltE VALUE OE A VOTE.
Public men rarely fail to cast
their ballots, says an exchange.
They have too much occasion to
see how public business suffers
from the inattention of the average
citizen. Also it would suggest
their own lack of civic virtue if
they failed to take all possible
pains to exercise the suffrage.
Mos'„ presidents have thus made
it a practice to travel long dis
tances to vote at home elections.
President Wilson followed the
usual custom this fall, when he
traveled three times to New Jer
sey to vote at the primary, suffrage
referendum, and election. It took
valuable time, but the
example set made the trip worth
while.
The average citizen takes these
duties lightly. He would not take
a railroad journey of any length
whatever to cast a vote. He may
forget the closing hour in his own
town, and lose his suffrage. If he
lives on the outskirts and the day
is rainy, he can't take the pains to
visit the polls. He complains bit
terly of government inefficiency.
Yet he won’t take a half dollar's
worth of time to support the best
men to work against such ineffic
iency.

A man of more than everage in
telligence was talking about this
the other day. "I always know
who is running for governor," he
said. “Also 1 know who the local
candidates for the legislature are.
But that's all I ever know about
politics. Most of the men I asso
ciate with are the same. They
never read anything about what
congress does or the legislature.
But they see everything in the
football news or on the baseball
page.”
With these easy standards of
civic obligation existing it is no
wo.ider the politicians find it easy
to lead the people around by the
paper headlines or listening to
scraps of talk in barber shops. Let
him reflect that inefficient govern

ment adds more to the cost of liv
ing than all the unjust exactions of
the trust. These men in public
office are his agents, paid by him to
do his service. He should know
every day what they are up to and
why. _

Berlin Brightest Lighted City.
Notwithstanding many obvious rea
sons why it might not be so, Berlin is
it claims, today the most brilliantly
lighted capital of the world. The claiir
is not made because of darkened Paris
and London. The claim is that unddi
no sort of conditions is any other citj
as well or efficiently illuminated.
Its brilliant gas lamps have been in
! creased in number from 4,000 to dost
on to 5,000, with a candle power of 10,
000,000. To this unit in efficiency have
been added the most up-to-date meth
ods of artificial lighting and extin
guishing the burners. This latter is
accomplished by suddenly increasing
the pressure at the central plant,
which turns a switch in each burnei
and automatically starts or stops thf
flame.
Connecting Archangel With Siberia.
One of the zemstvos of the govern
ment of Vologda is handing In a pe
tition concerning the connection of
Archangel with Siberia by means of
the following water route: Northern

tablishment of such a water route was
planned in 1909, when, by imperial or
der, a special expedition was sent out
to make the necessary investigations.
This route would be of the greatest
importance for the exportation of Si
berian products to European Russia
as well as to foreign countries.
