While the vote was not near so
large as it should have been the
result of the election the bond ques-
ton is extremely gratifying. Not
more than half of the qualified voters
of the town expressed themselves,
but we feel sure that had every man
voted the proportion would not have
been less. Many friends of the
school, assuming that the result was
a foregone conclusion, failed to cast
their votes. By such negligence
they showed lack of interest that

and those too luke.warm to vote
may find themselves called upon to
pay little more tax to meet the
higher rate of interest on the bonds,
that might have been avoided bad
they all come out and voted.

The Duty of the Citizen.

uS Duty Va tA1S SAtALSAA'
In our complex civilization it is
impossible for one man to live entire
ly to himself. To make such an
experiment would be to achieve
failure and reap the woes of a sad
experience. Inter-relation and in
ter-depe ndence run through all the
affairs OF human life. This is in
accord with the design of nature;
and if, as Tennyson says; 81 am a
part of every man l meet" the un-
fortunate individual who prefers a
solitary existence, must be one
idesed person indeed.
Nature abho rs selfishness and God
never intended that the inhabitants
Of earth should be selfish in their
thoughts, purposes or manner of
dealing with one another Every
where in nature Is manifested the
Divine idea of mutual helpfulness
and unsel6shness, and so it should
be IN our human relations. 1t is
inevitable that every individual
should be to a certain extent depend.
ent on his fellow. man, and he should
ever be ready and willing to give as
readily as he takes from his as
.sociates. To recognize and carry
out this principle is the 6rst duty
of citizenship. There must be a
general sympathy and oneness If the
,best is gotten out human life in the
way of true happiness and success.
No occupation in life isindepend-
of all others. In our body polite
what affects the individual affects
our whole citizenship. Every in
dividual of community is to a
certain extent responsible for its
government, and, withal, for the
moral, industrial and intellectual
development of that community.
The duty of the citizen, therefore,
is to do everything in his power to
build up his community. He ought
to see to it that 90 far as his vote
and influence 60 the very best men
are put in charge of public affairs,
men of broad views, public spirit
and good judgment. Not the
marrow, designing demagague, who
by sewing the dragons teeth of
hatred and dissension places himself
into power and prominence. A man
of that stamp may be as brilliant as
Lucifer himself-whose intelligence
has never been discounted-and yet
the light that emanates from him
is but the fierce lightning that
withers and blasts that with which
it comes in contact.
Good school and church privileges
are of the greatest possible benefit.
Nothing speaks better for a COM
munity-be it town or country-and
conduces more to its prosperity, than
handsome school-houses and church
buildings. A dollar invested in
these great institutions yields large
returns, not only to the give, but to
the community at ia general.
Then it is the duty of the citizen
to encourage by every legitimate
