The Public Librorv.


The legislature two years ago amend
ed the law in regard to City Public

ton and ordered the question submit
ted at this election and it will appear
on the official ballot for the people to
vote Yes or No.
On the Library question and our ar
ticle of last week Judge Ruppenthal
sends US the following:
Editor, Free Press. Your article
last week relative to voting on city
library might lead to a misunderstand-
ing of my position. l am always glad
to see popular vote taken on any
matter of proper, public concern, as
that seems to me to be real, popular
government. But l regard it as very
improper for me to suggest whether
the people of Hays should or should
not adopt certain proposition, AID
do not wish to be understood as advis-
ing the people of Hays how to vote on
matter of local concern. Your peo-
pie should best know local conditions,
needs, limitations and aspirations, and
should be governed by them and not
by the advice of an outsider, if he i'm
prudent1y were to offer advice.
