The Union in its efforts to prasp
at a straw in the school election con.
test asserts that .'several hurt and
indignant citizens" called upon it
''to make known their sense Of out
rage at the systematic attempt to
defeat the proposition to adopt the
free school law" Then it goes on
to say that the reason for the feel
ing expressed to it is due to tickets
having been distributed with the
word ''for" on the proposition
marked out. The ARGUS does not
believe that any one will feel hurt or
indignant at the teachers when thew
understand the matter, certainly not
sufficiently so to take their troubles
to the Union. The facts are that the
teachers and their friends made a
thorough can 7ass of the city Satur-
day, not with view to
oictatlng to any one how
he or she should vote. but
their mission was one of personal ap-
peal to supposed friends. They were
provided with tickets for Marshall
and Donaldson. the candidates who
are the avowed friends of the teach
ers' cause and who are pledged il
elected to relieve them of the yoke of
Amentism. They realize that even
with their candidates elected, that
should the proposition of which
Ament's admirers are the champions
carry. there will still be an oppor-
tunity to raise an issue as to the
election and its effect, and that in
stead Of order being reestablis he'd, an
other yesr of unrest and uncertainty
will follow. They are, there fore, as
urgently solicitous for the good Of
the schools that the proposition be
defeated at this time as they are that
the cause of their Just grievance be
removed. Such tickets as were
marked merely indicated the wish of
the teachers, but The ARGUS is not pre-
pared to believe there is citizen in
Rock Island, who after consideration
harbors resentment toward q teacher
in the schools who comes to him
with the earnestness that is now in
her heart and asks him to ballot
the ticket which she presents to him.
The men Of Rock island are too
great to misjudge the teachers in their
course. They are not politicians.
They are doing their best though to
win and are calling their friends to
their aid. Who can say that he mis-
understands them? The teachers
need help. Give it to them. Stand
by them-aud stand by their cause.
