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.
