FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1918 Your Duty As An Intelligent Voter This is what is generally called the "off year" in Congressional elections. But, however well that term applies to the election midway between the presidential elections, it certainly is | not applicable this year. In the United States are to determine the November the people of personnel of the law making body, probably for the period of the war. It follows, then, that just two con- siderations should decide the vote of the loyal citizen, the record or re- putation for absolute loyalty which a candidate possesses and his ability to handle the important matters | which will come before the next | Congress. The men who are seeking re-elec- tion have left a definite record of capacity or incapacity for good serv- ice through the war period. There has been some evidence of an ade- quate statesmanship in some mem- bers of the present Congress, some evidence of the lack of that quality. Every voter must, if he is true to the charge which the country vests in him with the privilege of the fran- the work that has been done by the men --chise; acquaint himself with In the case of new men he will look into | whom he is asked to support. soieyy vid} the record made in war activities in | . - . | the community from which they come | ' | Wilson should President has said that politics be adjourned, even | for the | im= | that politics is adjourned, duration of the war.

In the next room, the bed- room, was one bed for all, a table and a brokem chair. The children | were oh! so dirty, the mother also. Although quite young, she had very few teeth left. She was so pleased when 1 came the second time to see her sick children, that she wished that she could do something for me. I told her that if she would wash her children and clean up her house, The next day when 1 arrived there, the house was cleaner, the door-yard swept and the little girls had been washed. So I am hoping that grad- ually we can teach them cleanliness and the need of pure air.

Those who follow this sys- tem of test will know that they hav e contributed their part towards the] adjournment of politics for the dura- tion of the war. Morris 1. Greeley, Jr., has received his commission as second Lieutenant. Lieutenant Greeley was graduated from R. O. T. C. several weeks ago and has since been sent overseas. Robert L.

Improvements in the telephone art are being made constantly by Bell engineers, both through scientific discovery and experience gained in solving every-day operating problems. Ever since audible speech was conveyed over the wire in the Boston machine shop forty-three years ago, it has been theoretically possible, to talk from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Until a few years ago, however, no candid telephone engi- neer would have predicted the accomplishment of such a thing. But it is being done every day. Y The Bell System gives the same painstaking attention to the smaller problems of the tele- phone business, assuring its patrons that the most approved operating methods will always be employed.
