Are You Registered? Under our n-Dresentative form of trovornment, wide participation Of tFio voters in the election is essential if popular rule instead or government by a minority is to pre-) pre-) vail. Indifference of a large number of voters in exercising the franchise is always an unhealthy symptom. This year it is doubly important that those who tri umph in the election represent the electorate. This is no time for any candidate to go into office by default. Voters who express their preference at the polls will take a more active interest iiMhe problems of government and be in a position to render wiser judgment at future elections. Utahns have two more days in which to register, Tuesday Tues-day and Wednesday. Make sure that your name is properly entered on the election register of your home voting district. There is no excuse for anyone ignoring this important matter. mat-ter. Registration agvnts will keep their places open until a late hour, both days, giving everyone ample time to attend to this matter. A complete list of registration agents showing the boundary boun-dary lines of each voting district, will be found on another ratrp nf tnHsvV nner That "Lame Duck" Problem I Oddest of all the campaign rumors is the one which has it that the present administration, if defeated in the election, elec-tion, will resign in a body on Jan 1. and permit the incoming administration to take things over two months ahead of time. Such a rumor is hardly worth discussing seriously. But it does perform one good service; it does emphasize the great value of the "lame duck" amendment to the Constitution, Constitu-tion, now pending before the several states. Under this amendment a presidential term would begin early in January following the election. We would not have the dreary .four-month wait between election and inauguration. inaugura-tion. If a new president were chosen, he would not have to I wait until the election was almost forgotten before going to i' o a jl j 1 1 j 1 j 4 A. work, Tnis wild campaign rumor at lease cans mat iact to our attention, and reminds us that ratification of this amendment must not fail. LAW (Hill Billy's views in his daily stories are his own. They do not necessarily coincide rfth those of this "newspiper.--T:iJrTOR). Taw, a rule of action established by authority." That is a fundamentally sound definition; few in the dictionary are, BUT just what did the fellow mean, by "authority." Here is a real philosophic definition of law: "Law Is that which enforces itself." e. vys-'-f-V M .: jilLL BILLY In a way the dictionary is right, 2. lP-) M mm HUT. law is the essence of things and is not aided by environment. The authority for anything that concerns YOU is the fact that you arc alive; that is all the law there is, and all the law there ever can be,,world without end, amen. What we term law is an alibi for fat, lazy fellows to tell us what to do at our expense. 1 wn live in these hills for a dozen years and not require the air of any "law-enforcing" officer; when I got to town I am fortunate if I do not discover a dozen tax-eaters intruding on me every time I turn around. If I fall off the roof in the hills, I fall off the roof; if I fall off the roof in town there will be two ambulances, six internes, three bond brokers, four prowl cars and nine accident Insurance salesmen gathered about my quivering remains.

It will be a glad -day when the dumb proletariat discovers this simple notion. And some fellow will arise and inquire: "Wot, no law agin murder; what will you do with the murderers?" Just what, dear fellow, are you now doing with them? Has the law against murder ever hindered a murderer? I doubt it. BUT when you fall off a roof, or milk a cagey cow on -the wrong side, or throw a club at a skunk, or bounce an axe on a frozen pitch knot, those laws just naturally enforce themselves, and you can do it a thousand miles from the nearest "peace" officer, yet you will discover the enforcement of the law. law is established by authority, HOUSF 11.

Hero':! why: Money in made in the market, not uy knowing what stock to purchase, pur-chase, but when to purchase it. There are a scoie of sound stocks, and the investor is fairly safe in buying any of them. But, unless he studies the swing3 of the market, he is tikcly to buy at the top of a rally, and thus pay a great deal more than if he waited for the lower end of a decline. It is no trick at all to pick out sound stocks. The trick lies in knowing when to pick them. Natureland Naturalists have a new and wholesome respect for the appetite (and capacity) of a toad. It seems that he can do away with victims many times his own size. Dr. C. W. Parsons and colleagues of the University of Glasgow, Scotland, Scot-land, were witnesses to a feat which in all of history has not been duplicated. dup-licated. Prctoably the closest thing to it would have been a story that Jonah swallowed the whale, because be-cause the toad under their inspection inspec-tion accomplished a somewhat similar sim-ilar phenomenon. According to Dr. Parsons, four giant toads were received by his department from South America. They were about six inches long and three inches wide. For the Dumoses of comparison, thev were placed in the'same vivarium with a couple of young alligators, which had grown only about 11 inches long. A few mornings later Dr. Parsons Par-sons meant co move the 'gators to a new home, but only one remained in the vivarium. An X-ray showed a dark shadow in one of the toads, which, besides confirming a suspicion sus-picion of Dr. Parsons', also showed conclusively the whereabouts of the lost alligator. The toad had swallowed it whole. : I Today's Oddity I Those who believe,' there is no such thing as a human conscience Jaould get in touch with Napoleon B. Partin, 32, of Flint.
