VOTE! ! I
T he g re a te st possession of a free
people Is th e ballot— th e rig h t to
vote. It Is a defen d er of o u r liberties
and a weapon ag a in st Injustice.
Yet th a t invaluable h eritag e is not
prized by m illions of otherw ise
good citizens. P roof of th is s ta te
m ent can be found in undeniable
statistics. In m ost elections,
less
than half of the persons who are en
titled to vote do ao. It is exceptional
when an election brings to th e vot
ing booths m ore th a n fifty per cent
of enfranchlaed citizens.
One resu lt Is th a t public officials
a r e elected by m inorities— th e vote
of th e m a jo rity La silent. A nother,
and worse resu lt, W a flagging of in
te re st by the people In a th in g which
vitally affects us a ll— o u r govern
m ent.
T his year, th e re are g re a t issues
before us. No m a tte r w here we may
sta n d , It Is o u r du ty as well as our
privilege to m ark an X opposite
nam es of our choice on the ballot.
Only by doing th a t, can we have pop
u la r governm ent.
In O erm any th e rig h t to vote has
been v irtu a lly
ab ro g a ted — a t th e
la st election citizens had a choice of
endorsing H itle r o r of leaving the
ballot blank, th e re being no oppon
ent. T hat la tru e of Italy, of Russia,
of Greece, of a dozen o th e r powers.
And h er0 In A m erica w here we still
have th a t rig h t wfylch preserves our
freedom , half of us d o n 't tro u b le to
exercise It.
So— vote on November 3. Vote for
Rooevelt, L andon, Lem ke, T hom as—
w hoever you believe Is the best m an
for P resident. Do the sam e for oth»r
offices. It is your inalienable rig h t

WHAT 18 CAPITAL?
We often hear ta lk of ca p ita l and
lab o r as though th ey w ere wholly

th e fence. But, actu ally , they are m u
tu ally dependent. E ach needs the
other. T h ere la no fu n d am e n tal coa-

L et's look a t a very sim ple illu s
tratio n .
A m an does odd jobs aro u n d your
house. Suppose you pay him a d o llar
for fixing th e screen door which was
w arped. But before he could do th e
Job you had to give him a screw
d riv er th a t cost you aro u n d 60 cents.
You had to give him a plane th a t
cost a couple of d o llars. T h a t screw
d riv er and th a t plane a re “ c a p ita l."
W ith o u t them , th e odd-job mau
would have had no Job. It would
have been foolish to h ire him unless
he could be equipped to do th e work.
“ C a p ita l,” says th e d ictio n ary , "Is
th a t p a rt of w ealth w hich la devoted
to th e production of m ore w ealth ."
In o th e r words, all ca p ita l rep resen ts
tools w h eth er th e tool is a screw d ri
ver o r a m achine costing th o u san d s
of d o lla rs or th e factory which
bouses th e machine. It Is as useless
to ta lk ab o u t th e w orkm an and the

consensus of opinion, based on v a ri
