Romans 1.1: I 1 ; The giggling girl at the foolish age through which all youth seems to pass generally settles down later on. Per haps it is all a triumph of mind over chatter. j And now, after much time has been spent and many words have been spilled, the investigation of the Shenan doah disaster comes to an end. The 'results are that big Birships will continue to be sent on' "political" overland jtnissions to state and county faii-s and the government will continue to have an inefficient and dangerous aviation serv ice. What more could one expect from an investigation? MENACE OF COMPULSORY VOTING. .' That educator who made the statement that not more than 5 per cent of the voters have an intelligent idea of why they vote or what they vote for in national elections, was probably guilty of gross exaggeration, and yet, even those-wht questioned his assertion will agree with the others that there's something radically wrong with a large jjart if the electorate. That many persons having, the right to vote do not vote because of ignorance or vote ignorantly is doubtless true, but they are not confined to the foreign bom. One, however, is no more excusable than the other. Illiterate ilioiwliml4-4iU.W-tUtii4rU4' ttt-iikihipwrd--ritiUve-liorn Americans-should possess enough pn'de of citizenship to inform themstjlves on election matters before entering a booth with a ballot. ' ' i Persons tinder the ago of 21 years are forbidden the ballot on the theory that they are incapable of voting in telligently, and yet there are millions of voting age whose mental standards are lower than other millions of grade and high school pupils. Compulsory voting already adopted in some countries might do the nation no little harm by driving into the hands of unscrupulous politicians the illiterate hordes which do not now vote and which are generally 'unfit to exercise the right of franchise. All might le better governed if more voted intelligently and the ignomnt Voted less. The danger of "getting out the vote" lies in the tendency among Hie "vole-Belters" to corral only those of the electorate who, tan not think for themselves. THE ENGLISH DIDNT LIKE IT. The London Daily News was ' somewhat perturbed at the recent speech of President Coolidge before the New York Chamber of Commerce,' if its comment is rightly in terpreted. The following quotation was cabled to this country after Cal had told the New Yorkers what a great Milvation was our wealth and resources to the nations of 'Europe following the war, that the credit we extended and the ftxKl we furnished prevented a collapse and famine overseas: 1 -i ! i ' It is not easy to think of any. parallel to Presi dent Coolidye's amazing address to the New York Chamber of Commerce, except a certain notorious prayer. The author of that prayer also thanked God ho was not as other men are, and recorded with the same smirking self-satisfaction his finan cial righteousness and his virtuous Belf-iestrnint. ' No rich parvenu can ever have addressed his humb lest poor relation in a tone of mure offensively oleaginous patronage than this. Perhaps the News is right but it must consider that President Cal was talking lo the family and cavesdropiiers were not invited. It was a hearth-ide speech, perhaps just 8 little reminiscence of by-gone days, an excusalle touch of national ego from which very few nations ore free. The London News should have put cotton in its ears, a practice Americans resort to frequently when we are burdened with nn Englishman's story of "who won the war." THE ANIOrJVMOOS BEMEFACTbP?.
