Why? Because steel and iron manufacturing companies from all parts of the country are seeking To- cations along the south shore in order to get the benefit of the lake transporta tion facilities afforded by the strip oe land bordering the lake between Chicago and the east. These companies must be near the sources of ore supply as well as near perfect transportation. No other piece of land in the United States af- lords the combined advantages. Hence the future of the steel industry in the United States will be largely concentrated along the southern shore of Lake Michi- gan. and an inland canal affording easy access not only to the railroads but 0 Lake Michigan will be needed.

TO FRIENDS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
RESIDING IN FIRST MUNICIPAL WARD

Are you aware that one of the most
important school elections ever held in
this city viii take place on Wednes-
day next. December q There will be
an election at that time in each of the
FIVE wards of the city for a member
Of the Board of Education, which board
has entire control of the public schools
of the city. The following facts indi-
cate the great importance of this elec.
tion:
First Under the lead of church Off
cials, supported by the Deseret News,
an unworthy scheme is being carried
out to secure permanent control OF the
public schools by the Mormon church.
Under the pretense of 'nonpartisan
conventions in four Of the wards, four
representatives of the dominant church
have been nominated as members of
the school board. The fact that in
each of these four conventions a rep
resentative of the Mormon church was
nominated, and that no one else had
the ghost of chance. demonstrates the
dishonesty of the "ronpartisan - move
ment, aud shows that it is an unworthy
church scheme 10 secure control of the
schools in this American city.
Second The Mormon population of
this city is about two-ffths of the
whole, and that the non-Mormon popu-
lation is about three ffths; yet the
Mormon church has six out Of ten mem
bers of the present Board of Educa-
ton, thereby trampling under foot that
fundamental principle Of American
government, that to the majority be
longs the right of control IN public
affairs. The Mormon people are en-
titled to minority representation on the
school board, being a minority of the
population, and anything beyond that
is the result of church schemipg and
sectarianism. What right has the Nor.
mon church 10 six out of ten members
of the school board If the true friends
of the public schools do not vote down
usurpation like this the result will be
disastrous, both TO the city and to ouI
public school system.
Third. Since this is a non Mormon
city, the public schools should be under
non Mormon control. That is, the ma
composed of men outside the Mormon
ranks. Anything short of that is un.
Just and antiAmerican. Do the people
OF the First ward wish to see the pub
lie schools brought more and more
under Mormon control? Do they WISH
to see experienced aud thoroughly edu
Gated principals and teachers gradually
pushed aside to make room for some
Mormon church favorite Do they wist
to see such favorites lifted over the
heads of faithful and efficient princi
pals who are non~Mormons9
Fourth. AS the Board of Education
is now constituted, it is sectariar
organization, because three Gfths Of it'
members are taken from one religion:
sect. This is altogether contrary TO The
uon-sectarian basis on which the Amer
can public school system has been built
up III all parts of the United States
and is a positive violation of our state

Constitution. which provides in article
10, section /, that the "uniform sys.
TEN of public schools - which the legis-
lature is bound to maintain ''shall be
free from sectarian control. Now
the Mormon church is not satisfied with
having secured sectarian control of the
school board in this city, through its
bishops and ecclesiastics in the differ
ent wards. in positive violation of the
state Constitution, but it is scheming
to perpetuate this control by nominal
ing none but Mormons in four of its
ward conventions under the hypocriti
cal guise of 'nonpartisanship.' We
therefore earnestly appeal TO the voters
of the First ward who are interested
in having our schools conducted on a
non-sectarlan basis to come out to the
polls next Wednesday and vote against
further sectarian control by casting
their ballots for the non-Mormon can
didate.
c. 5. Martin, the so-called nonpar-
tisan candidate, Is a returned Mormon
missionary, a bishops counselor and
engaged in the retail coal business. SO
far as can be ascertained, he has never
had any experience in school work, and
the main points of qualification claimed
for him by his friends is that he is a
business man.

C0ngre ssman PHO Secures Large
Quantities Seed for Flood Sufferers.

Between thirty and forty thousand
acres of cultivated land in Rapides

patch received here today by Congress-
man A. P. Pujo from Secretary

siye League, asking the congressman
to use his influence to secure sufficient
peas, potatoes, cabbage, turnip and
alfalfa seed to replant at least 10000
acres in fall crops for the destitute
farmers in the river valley.
Mr., Pujo wired Capt. Long, .. S.
A., in charge of relief work in the
overlooked district, to use every en-.
deavor to comply with Mr.. Alexan-
der's request.
The work of distributing food among
the farmers and laborers of Avoyelles
