Dear Mr. Editor -
am not voter. but am going TO
vote sooner or later. 4 am a property
owner and shall therefore follow my
fellow women predecessors OF New
York State and refuse 10 pay my taxes
without representation and hope my
sister citizens, who are taxed each
year. will follow my lead.
wanted 10 answer Mr.. Watson last
week, as il was hard work TO keep
still But. see Mr. Chadbourne has
about expressed my sentiments with
the exception OF one point. There is
no worse recommend for a town than
that il supports no higher place OF
entertainment than the picture shows
or cheap vaudeville This is a state
ment / heard from a prominent divine
some years ago.
No private citizen is going TO put mp
such an Assembly Hall as we need and
its not the (lOO) that need this. Its
the workingman, his wife daughter
and son. The money he now puts out
every week, night after night, to sit in
10 cent picture show where many of
the productions are and cannot be
denied. Of immoral tendencies, which
only lead your boy or girl to think such
traffic in heart rending. is a common
every day occurrence thus demoraliz.
ing the finer instincts OF sacred respect
for womanhooG
Do you not think the poor man
would save these many ten cents, for a
week or go If he knew Mebba or Caruso
or Eamee were TO be heard here some
weeks ahesd2 Would il not last him
for weeks Yes, years, where the pic
ture show was gone from his mind the
next day. Would not the educational
side OF the question appeal TO all pro.
gressive citizens The enlightment.
the environment would only develop
in the mass, a desire tor the best II
would be lifting mp and You, each
one. would be assisting in the good
work
Am | not my brothers keeper
Then show it by uniting in this grand
project and note the advertising, you
boosters, Crystal Falls will get by il.
Will not more people come here to live
IL they find the progressive spirit
hereg
have been working along the line
of getting place OF high moral char
acter for our boys and girls to congre
gate with just such entertainments for
uplifting for the past two years A
place where exhibits in Art master
pieces music and drama came TO us
(tree) from just the uniting of few
members You all know how this was
fought against. by those whom you
would not thinK would down such an
Gpliftment. This alone goes to show
what sentiment YOU have 10 contend
with but Ueople are progressing they
are becoming enlightened every day so
you may not have what | had TO con
tend with Had IL not been for these
few. Crystal Falls would today have
just such beautiful Chapter House AZ
the twenty eight others that are enjoy
ing theirs 10 the fullest extent, and the
boys and girls are not thrust upon the
streets for their amusements. It's the
boys and girls we must consider.
They're the future citizens of this
country. Then give them the best Its
your duty When so little involved.
would like to ask Mr.. Watson
whore he draws the line between
High Society anG the working
class. AS look over Crystal Falls IL
appears to me we are all In the work
ing class, at least | hope so. should
hate to think there were any parasites
here and II they. the working class,
