Why Every Citizen Should Vote.
This is the second in a series of four
articles written by specially appointed
members of the Bellefonte Kiwanis Club
in an effort to promote an intelligent and
serviceable citizenship, to overcome the
indifference of the voter, and to urge upon
all the value and need of the universal ex-
ercise of the franchise.
By Arthur H. Sloop.
We American people are a self-
governing people in theory only. Our
right to self-government is inherent
and inalienable. This right is the
fruitage of all the struggles of all the
ages, an inheritance to us, as a free
born people. The hopes and aspira-
tions of the countless millions who
have gone before, and slowly but sure-
ly fought their way out of political
slavery into the full freedom of con-
stitutional representative government,
have in us their culmination. Strange,
is it not, that this generation throws
away so lightly so precious a gift?
If the history of civilization has
taught us one thing it is that civiliza-
tion and self-government have gone
hand in hand; that progress and polit-
ical freedom have always moved side
by side.
If the apathy and indifference of
the American voter, which in the
Presidential election of 1920 brought
to the polls a scant fifty per cent. of
those entitled to the ballot, should
continue or increase, self-government
in America is doomed, the greatest po-
litical experiment of all time—the
Republic of the United States of
America—shall be judged a failure,
and civilization shall take a backward
step. And the sad part of it is that
these things are not being taken from
us by force of arms, by Kings and
Emperors and Kaisers; they are be-
ing tossed aside as carelessly as a
cast-off garment.
No matter what our political alle-
giance, it is the duty of every one of
‘us to express that allegiance in the
only way that counts—the ballot. In
no other way can the will of the ma-
jority be determined. In no other way
can the greatest good to the greatest
number be assured. Without it the
will of a small minority is saddled
upon the whole people. Bad govern-
ment may and often does result, and
the responsibility rests upon the non-
voter.
The other day a cartoon appeared
in one of the great national weeklies
in which democracy was pictured as a
row boat headed toward the distant
shore of prosperity. In the boat sat
a sturdy oarsman, labeled “the man |
who votes,” pulling with all his
strength toward the shore. But his
efforts were ineffective, for in the
mud was fastened a heavy anchor la-
beled “the non-voter,” and the anchor
was chained to the boat. Shall we be
anchors, stuck in the mud of indiffer- !
ence, or shall we join the rowers and
pull the good old boat of democracy a
little nearer the prosperous haven of
real self-govérnment? :
Berkshire Day at State College.
Breeders of Berkshire hogs in Cen-
tre county should not overlook the
fact that Saturday of next week, Oc-
tober 18th, will be annual Berkshire
day at State College. J. P. Winslow,
secretary of the- Pennsylvania State
Berkshire Breeders’ association, has
just announced the program for the
occasion which really starts with the
annual Berkshire dinner at 6:30 Fri-
day evening, October 17th. This din-
ner will be at the Centre Hill’s Coun-
try club, which adjoins the college
property.
Dr. John M. Thomas, president of
The Pennsylvania State College, will
address this gathering.
On Saturday morning the swine
breeders will assemble at the college
hog farm when a carload of Berk-
shire barrows on feed for the Inter-
national will be inspected. A judg-
ing demonstration and a tour of the
college swine plant will follow.
It will be recalled that Pennsylva-
nia Berkshires stood at the front at
the last International Livestock expo-
sition at Chicago. The carload ex-
hibited then was assembled at State
College from over 500 breeders and
fed under the direction of the college
animal husbandry men. It won sec-
ond place in the 200 to 250 pound class
and sold at auction for a dollar higher
per hundredweight than the first prize
load.
Edwin Davis Drowned in Moshannon
Creek, Near Munson.
Edwin Davis, for many years a res-
ident of Snow Shoe township, but the
past eleven years a resident of Mun-
son, where he followed blacksmithing,
was drowned in the Moshannon creek
near the latter place on October first.
He left home about four o’clock last
Wednesday afternoon to go to the
Moshannon creek for a bucket of clay
to repair a drain pipe at his home and
not returning at nightfall a search
was instituted. The body was not
found, however, until late Friday
night, when two sons of the unfortu-
nate man discovered it in the creek.
As there was no evidence of foul play
it is supposed he accidentally fell into
the stream, which at that place is
quite deep, and drowned.
He was seventy years old and was
born in England, coming to this
country when quite a young man.
During most of his residence in Snow
Shoe township he worked as a miner
but later took up blacksmithing and
followed that occupation at Munson.
He is survived by his wife and nine
children.
