SCHOOL TEACHERS ELECTION.
ERlNG.
L. s. BARNES.

Mr. Editor:
The school teachers are out In force
electioneering for MIR. Balster, and
about the only argument they are
using is: THAT If Mr. Tiffany is
elected Mr.. Smiley will be fired and
they will all lose their jobs" Now,
sir. l think that is mighty poor tactics.
and If the voters In Durango have the
right spirit they will declare 1t to be
so at the election next Monday
have been n school teacher my
self, therefore. I am not one OF those
who believe that teachers should be
disfranchised Indeed, | think 1t is a
teachers solemn duty to take an &C
tive part In every election. More than
anyone else teacher should be in
formed about the Issues in every cleo
tion, and 1t is their special duty to in
form others about them. This follows
from the fact that in this country we
are trying an experiment in self-gov'
ernment, and tho success or failure OF
that experiment depends more on the
teachers than 1t does on anyone else.
It is their business to teach the peo-
pie what the duties and responsible.
Ties of citizenship are, and just before
election, when everybody is interested
is the best time to do 1t. In free
country IT, is the duty of every public
| a..G4a
should be no other kind-to meet the
people in their homes, on the street,
in public halls, and through the press
and keep them informed as to the
right and wrong of every question pre-
sented for their decision at the polls
Now how have the teachers in Dn-
reports they are active enough. but
are they trying to inform the people
about the real issues? If they are

nothing in the papers from any of
them, except Mr.. Smiley. and his arti-
Gle was not on any question involved
in this election. The two candidates
to be voted for next Monday stand on
platforms that are separate and dis
tinct from each other. Mr.. Balster's
platform for obvious reasons has not
been expressly declared, but 1t can
easily be inferred from his record on
the school board. He is doing all he
can to overthrow law that was en-
acted to establish unity and harmony
in our school system. He stands out
1.-THE state Legislature and signed by the
governor. That law is plain. simple
and direct. Mr.. Balster stands on the
platform that 1t is unconstitutional,
and that he u not bound BY It. While
