To this end a good deal of study
has been devoted to determine at

It has been established that most
Infants, at least thoae born to urban

A few Infants hold on to their Im

Today marks the thirty-sixth quad
rennial occasion upon which the Am
erican people have gone peaceably to
.the polls to elect a president.
I It is a far cry from that first oc
'caalon 144 years ago when the hand
full of citizens of the original 13
states trudged through the mud. on
foot, on -horseback, or rode on queer-
looking vehicles drawn by horse or
oxen, to cast their ballots for George
j Washington for president of the
(United States of America. .
j - To them things seemed mightily
, complicated. -Only a -few months be
fore that" election their delegates to
-ithe continental congress had sweat
;blood for days and days seeking: to
i Iron out the conflicting Interests
; which stood In the way of agreement
'among the' confederated states upon
'a common constitution.
Despair that the complexities could
ever be reconciled seised some of tha
55 delegates to that momentous con-
jvenuon. sut aiier weexs oi atjeus-
slon. compromise and concession, the
immortal document was written, sign

only those who were property own

George Washington was confronted
with many problems bf human rela

but his responsibilities were as ieatn

upon a president of these 48 states in
the midst of the immense and com

Since the choice of the first presl

progressed, so to speak; but the prob

THE STRAW VOTE NUISANCE
We agree with the Pacific Rural
Press that the straw voting business
has grown to be a pest. It Is not
because the. results of the most am
bitious poll, is adverse to the favor
ite candidate of this paper; but be
cause the straw vote takes away a
lot of the glemoc of an election. It
robs the election of its surprise ele
ment. What fun can there be In a
count If the result has 'already been
predicted -with accuracy? If con
tinued on big enough scale elec
tions will ybe almost as empty of
meaning-aa the session of the elec
toral college.
Sayr. the -Rural Press :
Straw 'votes are getting to be a
, nuisance,:
"Wo suspect that 'me man with
"sore teeth," both upper and
lower, who always writes for the
free samples of tooth paste, is
the type of person who votes
early and often in straw vote
tests.
If straw votes are an accurate
Index -then elections are unneces
sary duplication.
If they are not a true reflec
tion of sentiment then the straw
votes are a fifth wheel on a
wagon which needs only four
wheels. ; .
Besides which they are pestif
erous. : ,v
We do not know how to stop the
nuisance. It will probably wear it
self out.'i Meantime the public will
have to -put up with it. Oregon
