To the Voters;

In my article last week, tried
to show the inconsistency and in
justice Of the constitution in
school affairs, as regards the ma.
jority rule.
now call your attention to the
injustice Of the same article of
the constitution, to the country
children.
The said article restricts the
country school districts to a linn
tied amount of special taxes,
while it permits Independent
Districts to levy more if they so
desire. Let's adopt the pending
amendment and give the country
schools an equal chance with
others. A vast majority of
school children of the State live
in the country and attend the
country schools. Why should
they be Disseminated againstT
The maintenance of the rights
and liberties of the people de-
pend upon the education of the
youth, and every barrier that re
tards their progress should be
removed.
Again, there are three and one
half millions dollars in school
bonds that have been declared
null and void, and that amount
will be lost by the schools of the
State unless there is provided
some way that the Legislature
may validate them. This amend
ment to Sec. 3, Art. Z, seeks to
give the Legislature authority to
do so.
Vote for it and save that
amount to the children of your
State. " Sincerely,
". PoNToN,

Editor SINNER GAZETTE:

Oct. IL, 1908.
Editor SINNER GAZETTE:
In last weeks issue l no
tice an attack on my article in
the German paper here, Signed
German Voter" I"
This citizen likely withheld his
real name because he felt that
the article would have less
weight had he signed it. He
failed to tell the readers what l
said, though he admits that /
quoted the law correctly. He.
guessed why I wrote the article
and says that it was solely to get
the people to break away from
the party in whose primary they
voted. Possibly that isl why he
and his crowd have always failed
to make public such items of law
which positively guarantee the
voter, rich or poor, learned or
unlearned, wise or otherwise, the
equal right to vote their inmost
desire in secrecy, without any
supervision, making it a heavy
fine for any election officer or
other person to indicate by writ
ing word, sign or token, how any
voter shall or shall not vote.
Ny intention was not to cause
anyone to change his opinion and
vote this way or that way, only
in so much as TO help him vote
his true sentiments free from
direct or indirect misinformation
or intimidation
I had learned from various
sources that the idea was being
spread that a voter was Legally
required to vote at the general
election as he had voted in the
primary. This was not true and
to combat this falsehood | had to
show that there was no law
which even intimates punish
ment to a person for voting this,
that or any other way.
AS to what I would say of a So
cialist who desiredto vote against
some one or all of the nominees
of his party, will saw that I
would not impugn the motives Of
German Voter" or any one else,
who published the plain truth
about the election law, even if ]
thought that he might thereby
change my mates vote.
I will say further, that | think
no one is a good citizen who does
not accord to others the right he
claims for himself. Since vote
as I best understand my interest
I have no right to fall out with
my fellowman, who honestly
does the same, even though we
may widely differ and though he
may vote against me or my inter
est, and even against his own in
terests. AS | understand it this
has been done so often that
have gotten used to it.
My life's effort has always
been to teach the people indie
pendence and how to stand III
like men for their rights.
Yours truly
e. 0. MEITzEN.

Characterizing President Roosevelt's

that the toilers will not be cajoled, de.

desperate and angry. and in his anger,

The statement opens is follows:
