IT IN YOLK DUTY
Today is election day, Hie one time
Riven every two yours for ult qualified
voters of Andorson to so to the polls
und vote for thc men whom they be
lieve the bent adapted to govern the
city. It lu an opportunity which all
b.ive, and of which all ought to take
advantage.
There will always he found men in
every community who do not cant
their votes. Thean may be divided
Into two classes. The first are those
who do not have enough personul pride
In their own and tho city's welfare
te lake. t|ie trouble to do their duty
hy gulng to the polls and casting a
vole for tho men of their choice. The
for tho men of their choice. Tho
other class Is composed of those who
by neglect and carelessness do not
cast their ballot.
Little pity ought to be shown to
either clasB. Dissatisfied citizens
will he found In both classes and af
ter election they will go about knock
ing the administration, the ?ame peo
ple who were eleetcu or might have
been defeated by their votes. Prob
ably moro pity and sympathy ls to
ho extended to the poor fellow who
does not take enough interest lu his
filly's nlfairs to caBt his ballot, for he
hi a man that dnos not realize the
importance and oportunitles of a cit
izen. Those in the lotter class do not
deserve any sympathy rind if they
ever complain about tho administra
tion which 1B jomposed of men who for
whom they helthor voted for or
apalns', they arc absolutely out of
their place and .should hold tholr
peace.
It is everyone's duty to vote to
oday, lt does not muke any differ
ence who you caBt your vote for In
one senso of tho word, you should
show enough Interest In your city's
affairs to cast your ballot one way or
tho other.
SOCIAL LAWS ON Ti!Pi COAST
That tho Pacific coast states are
ahead of any other group of states
in tho country in tholr general so
cial legislation is tho conviction of
Harry Wcmbrldgo of Roed Coliego,
expressed in an article* in the current
"Intercollegiate) Socialist."
Here aro some of tho laws passed
by all of them: Workmen's compen
sation, eight hour? tor ?ll public
works, eight hours in mines, eight
hours and no night work for women,
and minimum wages for women, be
sides vnriuu3 sanitary and protectivo
taws. Child labor is not permitted
under nix teen. Oregon has a ten
hour day for mon and California hus
a law providing that, ono duy out ot
Ecven must bo a rest. day. All three
give methors' pensions.
"What distinguishes tho Coast
States IB not so much their welfare
l?gislation,, but the extant to which
they have''organised and developed
tho functions of government," sayB
tho writer, and he names a few of
tho commissions of importance: In
dustrial Welfare. Industrial Acci
dents, Woman's Welfare, Babies'" Wei
faro. Child Labor Banking, Conserva
tion Desert Lands, Fish and Game.
Horticulture, Social Hygiene, Prison
Par?lo Pilots, Sallorn Homes, Housing,
Text- Hook::. 1 \
Mr; Wombrldgo thinks that at pres
ent tho tendency . Is to bcoouio moro
conservative, but "If any people ia Jus
tified in resting on Us oars, .it . is
thc Coast, because it ll tul developed
social legislation further than any
other section."
bf course industrial ' and manufac
turing problems aro not so acuto
there. as. in the East-which makos
j lt tho more hopeful that protectivo
legislation is ahead tit'*"tt??m7 jpro
viding ?hat some of tho evils which
the East and South are now strug
gling against cannot got a foothold
In the. newer - country;
If the whole country could only
get this habit pf looking forward,
whether In regard to railroads or
. paving or city management or conser
vation or prison reform! If wo
'could on'iy stop patenting, and mending
long enough to look up occasionally
and. view the possibilities of changing
to^?/?ew whol? garment.
THE 8A*E8T RAILROADS
' >'.?;.. -- ? ;
. We are getting UBCd to the Idea that
our railroads aro redeeming their old
reputation for slaughter. But '. wc
aro Hardly prepared for the statement
?ot the Bureau of Railway News that
J?aarlean' railroads ara now the sal
bst th . ;the worhi ' Yet the figures
show, this to be a fact.
According to "the latest statistics
from Europe, there were 700 passen
ger -killed In a year on 207,000 milos
of railroad. In tho Tjnlted 's'tatei*. for
the fiscal year 1?16, there ware pttw
18? passengers kitted on railroads ag
P^^njs; 250.000 miles. \,^';,
^t^tei^ene? redu?ti?ja r?t accidents
may be ?cen in thc fact that ten year?
ago, with f?t ICK? mileage and only
about half ...i many passengers, our
railroads killed 533. So great ha?
been thc improvement that last yeur
:',?r> of our* railroads with two-thirds
or the total mileage did not kill a
?ingle passenger.
The present ligures for Europe may
be unfair because of the unusual rail
road conditions due lo the war. Hut
if thut tactor I? eliminated our show
ing ls ?till tho beat. Huted by pas
senger-miles, our record for last yeur
was better than Great Hrltain'u for
thc your before thc war.'
We still fall behind most European
countries, however, in thu number of
people killed on the railroad tracks.
That ls explainable partly by the bet
ter safe-guarding Of trucks abroad und
purtly by the carelessness of our peo
ple in walking persistently where they
.know lhere I? ?langer.
WK" OIJT.UBEKK TIIK tiftKKK
American boys-even city boya
even New York boys-are often bet
ter developed physically thun the un
dent (?reeks. And every record of
Hie ancient Greeks but one-tho broad
jump with weights, which isn't prac
ticed to uny extent-has been broken
by New York city school boyB. This
wa? discovered recently when sixty
boys equal to the best of the Greeks
were needed for a Shakespeare mas
que ut the great out-door stadium of
tho College of tho City of Now York.
It wus no long and discouraging
tusk to find thoao boyB. On the con
trary, 200 applied at tho first oppor
tunity. Practically all of them not
only mot but surpusscd tho best of
tho ancient Greek standards both in
measurements and in physical tests.
The sixty who had inoBt time for re
hearsals were chosen.
Civilization, which has freed us
from the superstitions of exposure
and torture In developing strength and
courage, has, of course, brought with
lt possibilities of oase and softness
unknown to earlier peoples. But the
advantages of sanitation, botter food,
better knowledge of how to live Beeni
to have more than compensated for
any of tho disadvantages. *
LINE O'DOPE
Mr. John ' Linley, who recently re
ceived ono of tho latest model Cole
automobiles, stated yesterday that the
cur had been sold to Air. Chas. Bau
kllight of Walhalla.
Among tho visitors lr tho city yes
terday w^s Mr. J. J. Lewis of the
I'creetown section, a progrcslsve far
mer and ono who believes that An
derson county ls just beginning to
realize its importance au a farming
community. Mr. Lewis brought with
lilm to tho.city somo very fine burr
clover wlilen' ho has grown this year.
It measured from 35"to 30 Inches.
Mr. Lewis stilted that he had about
ene nero, planted in bur clover this
year, and although nil- ot it was
dot as ' good aa that brought to An -
dotson,; ha was very, much pleased
with lt. HO wiil savo all of it for
sued and will noxtfyear plant on a
more extensivo scale.
There lins boon considerable com
ment about tho drought and ita ef
fects on the various- vogoiatlon and
along with this thcro has ?boon men
tion of tho grass on tho plana. A
great deal ot this is gradually dying
for the want, o? water, and It is cer
tainly a pity that somo arrangements
cannot be marte whereby tho beauti
ful green plots may bo sprinkled.
Although the oat orop is raid not
to bo so good this year, ono paved
street, in Anderson, East Whltner,
boasts of an oat crop which consists
ot about three plants, all headed but.
The oats may bo BOUII growlng_jusi
whore tho sidewalk paving joins the
brick building. To tho casual ob
server ' it would seem that lt would
be impossible for the oats to grow
there, 'but on investigation one finds
that tho roots oxtepd. down between
the paving and tho brick wall, thu?
catching hold .In tho earth/
