WHAT IS TOUR VOTB WORTH?
Printed by request of League of
Women Voters.)
We ferrently hope that under the
new order of things r-oltlcally, the
custom of nstng the ballot as a med
ium of barter and exchange will be
come obsolete. Do you say this Is
the dream of an JdeallstT . Well,
thank God for the Idealist; for the
dreamer who can make his dream
come true Is a leader of the people;
and reforms more wonderful than
this are today accomplished facts,
because some Idealist had a vision.
What Is your vote worth? If you
liave a precious Jewel an heirloom,
we will eay, that has Just come Into
your possession, and through ignor
ance of Its valu.e or the suggestion
of unscrupulous persons, you barter
tt for an object of small value, or to
gratify a passing whim, the world
would call you a fool, and there Is no
word that would express your opin
ion of yourself when you , realized
your mistake. What does the ballot
stand for la jhe scale of human
values? Its purchasing powers cover
all that la highest, noblest, most de
sirable in human affairs, good gov
ernment, the suppression of vice, the
protection of the helpless, the train
ing of youth.
The most precious thing in this
old world la youth the children, the
babies. It Is useless to attempt to
describe or limit the potentialities of
youth. Your ballot can help to make
the world safe for the highest devel
opment of youth with Its unlimited
possibilities. But alas! You can
also squader that priceless ballot for
selfish aims, for dishonest purposes,
and put Into positions of power
those who are unworthy, Incompe
tent, unscrupulous.
The ballot must regulate all tho
conditions of living the ballot alone
can do It. In the human adjustment
of the .. "doubtfal balance of tights
and wrongs" the will of the people as
expressed by that ballot. Is the high
est court of appeal.
This ballot Is the helrloo ti tbat
TIIE ALLIANCE HERALD.

THRE3
has come to us through many fener
ations of use and misuse; but Its
value has Increased with the years.
Today tho power of the ballot to con
trol the lives of the people, is great
er than ever before In tho history of
human government. Its power to
bless or curse Is beyond conception.
Long withheld from more than half
of the right fut heirs, It Is at last
coining Into their possession.
It Is not to be bartered for gold
nor given for public favor. Not to
be east for a friend who Is unworthy,
nor withheld from a foe who will
faithfully serve the people.- To the
mothers of the race Is now commu
ted the care and custody of this
treasure. Do they comprehend the
full significance of the fact that the
future welfare of their cnlld-en, In
mind, soul, and body depends upon
their wise use of this wondeiful bit
of paper, more valuable thau the
world's most precious Jewels. All
government, municipal, state, nation
al, must be adjusted to meet the re
qulremcnts for tne finest develop
ment of the growing child, and the
maturing boy and girl. Of what
value aro our personal plensutes and
ambitions as compared with our op
portunity to rear noble manhood and
womanhood for the next feneration.
To accomplish this we must have
tho enforcement of the law adminis
tered by tho highest type of nun and
women, who are consecrated to the
high calling of making the world safe
for youth. It la not an Impossible
Ideal. Think of your ballot s a
means for the conservation ol health,
llfo and happiness. By your ballots
you ran say that war shall be no
more. This . Is the hope of the
Frenchwomen as stated In their
charier of rights. Don't allow anyone
to influence your vote against your
own honest conviction. Get all the
Information that la possible to ob
tain, concerning tho fitness of various
candidates for the offices they are
seeking. Secure copies of tht- ordin
ances of your city, stating the du
ties of city officials. Study carefully.
If these requirements are dead, they
should be repealed. If thsy are to
stand as a part of the city ordinances
they should be enforced, and observ
ed. Study the laws of state Ind na
tion. Vote for the candidate who Is
best quail fled to carry out these re
quirements. Your city may be a city cf clean
government as compared with many
other cities; but that dos not mean
that It could not be better; and it Is
for the women voters to see ttat It la
ns much better as possible.
Don't (ail to vote. If you do not
cast your vote, you give silent con
sent to the votes that others have
cast, and maybe your vote would de
cide the election. Vote for the high
est standards In health, moral and
educational conditions In your city.
