Hut once lhat right has heen aeeorded (hem, whin a l;ir;;e percentage of llie people display neglect, and ��� l'ldifl. fence in tin? exercise of I keir franchise through which alone can they really govern themselves. Jf the groat mass of voters neglect lo cast theii;.ballots, democracy is Jn danger because ihcy are leaving the dour wide open to'the entry of interested parties and cliques and interests with persoual axes to grind rather than a patriotic desire to advance the welfare of the counlry as a whole. All titu- denls and lovers of democracy realize the. danger that exists, conseriiiently in (iio recent Presldeniia! election an unprecedented effort was mado to arouse ,rhi_ voters front their apathy and get them lo (ho polling booths. In the Presidential election of 1S0G when William Jennings Tiryan made, his famous campaign lor "free- silver," eighty per cent, of the qualified voter? went to tin' polls. A quarter ol.' it century kiler in .1012 with all the excitement of a three-cornered contest between Wilson, Taft and Koosovell, only (i2 per coiit. of tlu; voters actually voted, and every election between these dates revealed a steady decline. During the weeks preceding this year's election every known device, was employed by tho National Civic federation in a groat, "get out the vote" campaign to remedy Lhis siate of affairs aud arouse the voters to a. souse, of their rospou.-dbiiily. Tin; radio, tho movies, thc newspaper and magazine press, ringing bells, blowing sirens, tooling whistles, tho pasting or stickers ou automobiles and milk bottles, tho offering of a magnificent trophy to tlie state recording the largest proportional increase in votes cast, and advertising on a nation-wide settle were called into action. With what result? According to tho latest figures available, less than one-half the people entitled to vote took lho trouble to do so. Much the sami' thing is recorded in Canada, and even in Great Llritaln, where (he proportion is higher, rarely more than 70 per cent, of lho vote is polled. What is tlii- reason? Are the people really apathetic, uninterested and .Indifferent, as io what principles and policies shall be effective in the legislation and administration of their public affairs, or is thero something- radically wrong with ilie electoral systems in vogue? Even admitting a considerable degree oi' apathy antl neglect on the pari of the individual voter, it cannot alone be accountable, for the fact that, as a rule, only three.out of every .five persons cast their ballots-' ' ."--' '" 77 - 7 7 . ��� '��� ' ��� . j.!atlier.is the in.iiu .(.foul.ie .not in-thb present-f,y,s.om ot.".balloting?

Britain To Resume Trade With Germany Anglo-German Trade Treaty Has Been Signed Tho Anglo-German commercial treaty has been signed by the representatives of both governments. Under the terms drawn up, Germany not only grants most favored nation treatment to Great Britain, but gives guarantees against discriminatory treatment and limitation of imports. Tlie Uritish Government binds itself t.o introduce in parliament a bill removing all the war restrictions still imposed against the Germans in England. This means that no discrimination will bc made between Germans and other foreigners,, ancl Germany will be allowed several minor trade concessions. Germany's most favored nation o clause now places England in the same position in trade relations with Germany as she. occupied before the war. Murder In Far North Chocolate Covered.

It is understood, however, that steps to arrest the murder suspect will hardly be taken at'present for several reasons.
