The Presidential Elections
In the United States all legislative
power is vested in a congress Gonsiet•
lag of two branches; (1) A House of
Representatives effected by the people
on a basis of population, for a term of
two years (2) A Senate consisting of
two Senators elected for a term of six
years, Formerly these Senators were
chosen by their State Legislatures on
a point ballot, but in recent years, the
tendency bar been to elect Senators by
the direct vote of the people,
All Executive power is vested in a
President elected every four years.
The President is assisted by a Cabinet
selected by himself. The members of
the Cabinet, however, have no scats in
eicherbratauhof Wngrese. Thie differs
from the British system where a Cabe
inet Minister must have a seat in Par-
liament.
Tae election of President is always
held on the first Tuesday after the first
Monday in November. The President
is not elected by the direct vote of the
people. In the recent election In the
United States, no elector voted direct-
ly for either Hughes or Wilson as such.
The President is chosen by what un-
der the Constitution is called the "El•
ectoral College", which in the recent
election had 531 votes. According to
Constitution each state shall elect in
such a manner as the State may direct
a number of "electors," equal to the
number of Senatore and Eepresenta-
;ives which each State is entitled to
Bond to Congreae. This accounts for
the difference in the number of elect-
ors from the several States, as their
cepresentation in Congress is based on
copulation. For example, Maine had
0 voter, New 'lark -45, Kansas 10,
&c, When the several political cand-
idates have boon nominated by their
reepottive parties, eao .party selects
its legal qw to of Electors for eaeb
S+ate. These electors are generally
popular and well.kaowu citizens, re-
mising in different parte of the State.
When there lilleotors have bean eelect-
ed, each le pledged, if elected, to sup-
port the nominee of bis party, and eo
far in the history of the United States,
Ws pledge has never been broken,
41,0 au illustration:-- In Ohio for in-
stance, which is entitled to twenty-
four "1'.'leotore" the Democrats
would select twenty-four prominent
Democrats all pledged to Wilson. In
the sante manner, the Republicans
would choose twenty-four Republicans
all pledged to Hughes. All these
names are on the ballet paper, and it
is for these "Electors" the vote is
polled.
As the ordinary elector votee bis
full party ticket If one ie elected, all
are elected, and so the vote In each
State all goes either to one party or
the other. As soon as it becomes
known which electors have been
elected, It is known who will be
President, There ie nothing however,
in the law to compel an "Elector" to
vote for the candidate. nominated.
These Electors meet in January In
their State Capitals, and cast their
votes for President andVice-President,
This vete is transmitted under seal to
the president of the senate—the Vice.

On the first Tuesday in February
the packets are opened, the votes

entatives where the result is decided,
Here the vote is by States, each state
having one vote. Before voting the
representatives from each state meet
and decide which party will east that
vote. The division is on strict party
lines.
In the election of 1824, Andrew Jack -
sou bad 00 votes, John Adams 81 votes,
Crawford 41 votes and Henry Clay 37
votes, As none of the candidates had
an absolute majority the election was
thrown on the house, Clay had to
drop out and his followers supported
Adams who was elected. For this
Jackson never forgave Olay, Jackson
was subsequently President for two
terms, whilst Clay never reached the

Mail Clerks on the Bruce
There are two lade, I must say,
Named Murphy and Dietrich,
You can see them any day,
As fine fellers you wish to Beek:
Murphy, of course, le a little tall,
But of course he does not fail.
Dietrich is not so small,
But you bet he can handle the mail,
The car they work in le 340,
With a smoker in the end.
And all the way along the line,
Many a time their backs they bend.
One day the train it was delayed.
These Mail Clerks they slept in.
The noise about, so 'tie said
It really was a sin.
We had the engine puffing,
The number was 21 ninety-eight,
The engineer asked "Why this wait-
ing"
For he saw that he was late,
Tho Con he bit his moustache,
And often he looked at hie watch,
Not knowing where these boys did
live,
Everything was all on the botch.
At last one came racing down
With his shoe laces still un'ied,
The Con looked on him with a frown,
The brakeman laughed till he near
died.
At last the old train started
Murphy caught the P. & K.
All were then lighthearted
As the train sped on its way.
The reason why they did sleep in
They were all night at a dance,
Couldn't even hear the old phone ring,
its they Beamed to be in a trance,
But they are the boys
That fear no noise,
And are always feeling fine,
These two mail clerks on the London
line
In the old mail car 340.

1,010 at Convalescent Hospitale, 082 of

All Canadians ought to know what
ie being done by the Military hospit-
als Commission, acting on behalf of
the whole body of citizens. for the re-
storation of their wounded defenders
to a position of self-support and inde-
pendence.
Every disabled soldier is medically
examined on arriving at Quebec. If
he is no longer in need of hospital
treatment, he is sent home free of ex-
pense and discharged with a pension
or gratuity according to the extent of
his disability.
If he needs further treatment, he is
taken to a hospital or sanatorium
where the treatment moat suitable to
his case is available, and, if possible,
to the institution nearest bis home.
Men who cannot resume their fernier
work on discharge from hospital are
advised and enabled to take special
training for new occupations. This is
provided free of cost; and while the
men are being trained the Dominion
Government maintains them and their
families.
Men needing artificial limbs are
taken to Toronto. where these limbs
are made and supplied without charge.
Men with serious nerve disorders are
treated specially in the Ontario Milit-
ary Hospital at Cobourg.
Each Provincial Government has
appointed a Commission to help dis-
charged men in securing steady and
remunerative work. The Dominion
Government, and other authorities
and employers, systematically give
preference to returned soldiers when
@Ming vacant positione.
The public can and should co operate
heartily in this urgently necessary
work, by encouraging the men to take
fullest advantage of the curative and
educational opportunities given them,
and afterwards by seeing that they
get work, Looal committees have
been formed for this purpose in many
towns, but much more has to be done
in this way.
The treatment, most carefully car-
ried out In accordance with the latest
discoveries and the proved result of
medical experience, includes many
forms of strengthening exercises, often
roquiriug special and costly apparatus;
the scientific use of electricity, mas-
sage, and continuous baths for affected
limbs; with wise dieting and fresh air

Occupation is often as necessary and
beneficial as rest itself, in its curative
and strengthening effeot on body and
mind. Classes are therefore held at
the hospitals, for instruction and prac-
tice in many arts and industries, such
as carpentry and wood -carving,
metal and leather working, typewrit-
ing and book-keeping, mechanical
drawing and elementary engineering,
gardening, bee -keeping and poultry
raising.
These all help to increase the cepae.

effect of any injury they have received
by getting them into practice for each
industries as they can profitably no-
dertake. The medical and education-
al officers try first to discover what
ea ;b man is most likely to succeed at,
and then to fit him for it as thorough,
ly as possible.
It has been wisely decided that no
man shall forfeit any part of his pen•
Sinn on aocount of his industry and
enterprise in improving his owa fin
tial position.
Let our readers write wttbout hesit-
