In the old days the email boy, upon
attending school, was asked if he
had washed his face and hands. Now,
what a change. He is SO hedged in
with restrictions that the parent
wonders what is to coms next. The
authorities would like to give him
his breakfast, fit him with glasses,
examine his teeth and if taken sick
send him to hospital. They even go
farther. If he is slow in learning they
conclude he must be defective and
class him with the deseneratss. This
is all nonsense. Let the boy alons.
He will work out his own destiny if
not handicapped with too many
foolish restrictions. And then this is
also very annoying to the parent.
Let the authorities furnish the child
with books necessary and let i. go
at :hat. Any further paternaism is
an encroachment upon the divine
right of the parent.

Away over in Grand junction an
innovation has been instituted that

upon the public that the town afore-
said has been doing something out of

willing to be led into a thing that
has more phases than the average

problem Of a minority candidats win

vote, is declared elected. This is
made possible by voter being able

and Brown are the men nominated
for the office of mayor. Now, Smith
is the first choice. That is, he is the
mos. favored and he polls one hun.
dred ballots. Jones is second choice
and he polls seveaty-five votes; bu:
here is the joker: He also received
twenty-five ballots as a third chocs,
and some voted for him as a first
choice, reoeivins ten ballots. These
added make his total vote one hun.
dred and ten. Ten more votes than
the popular first choice candidate.
Now, the third man on the tick It
had no more idea Of becoming elect
ed (unless he knew how It was to
work out) than his ability to fly. He
secured, say, eighty ballots as a
third chice. But some p.ople thought
h. was better man than the other
two and they voted for him as a
second and first choice candidate.
As second choice he was able to
claim, say, fifty votes, and as
fircs choice forty votes. That gave
him total of-ei5hty, fifty and
forty-or one hundred and seventy,
which is seventy ballots more than
thc popular first choice candidate
and sixty ballots more than tn,

It might work either way. The first
choice candidate could rec.ive first,
second and third choice ballots, but
