AN OPEN LETTER TO MRS
LIZZIE JONES, COUNTY sU-
PERINTENDENT.

Mrs Lizzie Jones, County Superin-
tendent of Schools:
Dear Madam-Last November l
wrote to you asking you to change the
boundary line between school district
AZ and district "a so that we, the citi-
zens of section 81, township %, range
9 east, might be included in district
"a, explaining at the same time that
we could not get to Startup school in
district AZ. You promised that if we
would wait till March you would make
the change. When March came we,
the citizens of said section 81, town
ship %. range 8 east, filled out the
petition blank you sent out for that
and returned the petition to
you Then you employed your car
like methods of dictation, and changed
the petition to suit yourself. Your in
terest in the district at that time in
cluded one vacant ranch and a family
of Japs. You left every one of the
interested petitioners out II the ecld.
You also stated at a certain place in
Goldbar, before living witnesses, that
you would make the change when you
got ready and not before; thereby
posing as dictator to the people that
you swore to serve. Just as if we
didn't know where we lived and what
we need. You have falsified your own
written words, as well as your verbal
word. You have not fulfilled your
promise made when I visited your Of
flee August 10; you grabbed at straws
like a drowning man, by saying that
all the land owners did not sign the
petition. As if spectators in some
other part of the country cared for the
change Also you took for excuse that
the commissioners had furnished you
a clerk at a good salary. Now
wasn't that a great excuse?
And when I left the office August
10, you had the impudence to smoker
like an idiot But truth will out, and
you have shown yourself in your own
actions.

not at his best. The one time flow of
legal lore was clogged. No return was
made on the courts order and no SER
vice was made on Sinclair. The In
junction died a-borning.
Fausset says now that he will get"
Sinclair some other way In the mean
time the capitalist press for the
steenth time announces that charges
against Sinclair are filed with the
state superintendent. Repeatedly the
state superintendent denies the re-
ceipt of these wonderful charges. If
they are there this time it will be an
act of despair
Required Evidence Against Sinclair
The affidayits that they collected
against Sinclair are for public con
sumption Such perjured evidence as
they have collected Win never revoke
his certificate before any fair-minded
officer. The band of Bull AIoosers who
are back of this fight know this too
we'll Hence all this bluffing and lying
and crookedness.
Mayor Ford of Arlington has politi-
cal pipe dreams These are not in
.separable from the ownership of news
papers, but are quite inseparable from
the ownership of saloons. Saloons
need legal protection Ford wants to
get into state politics. He has tried
it several times but has been bumped
seriously. He hopes to cover up the
open moral sores of Arlington with
loud-mouthed patriotism He hopes to
use this fight against Sinclair to help
him beat the Republicans and Demo
Gratis next election. He and the Sc
attic Times have learned the game OF
the flag Some Republicans and Dem
ocrats in Snohomish county are get
ting wise to the Ford game and the
Fausset fuss. They are beginning to
see that woven all through this fight
in the Arlington schools are the silken
sinews of the Bull Moose. They
begged Republican Lizzie Jones not to
sign the complaint against Sinclair
but Lizzie is tied to an organization
beside which the Bull Moose and the
Republican party and the United
States government are small affairs
In the meantime the work of edu-
cation in Arlington is hampered and
gross injustice is being done the chill
dren simply because a bunch of Bull
Moosers see that their only hope of
victory at next election is in covering
up their crookedness with flags and a
loud roar which they pretend to be.

too flimsy to give them a standing in

Whipped at every turn, the attorney

will nrove as abortive as all the others

publication would only expose their ri-
diculousness.
The air has been kept at white heat
by the capitalist interests redolent
with lies and fermenting with false
hood Shenanigans galore have been
Matched, but to no avail.
The Petition Scheme.
At one time petition was presented
to the board purporting to be signed
by number of citizens and to repre-
sent their views, asking that the re-
tention of MIR. Sinclair be left by a
referendum to the voters of the dis
trict Mr.. Grimm. Socialist, at first
favored the idea because ne says the
referendum is strictly Socialist
method OF settling questions But aft
erwards many Arlington people came
to him, some of whom had never
signed the petition, while others had
signed it as the result of misapprehen-
sion and as the result of false repre-
sensations. This materially dimin-
ished the number of signers and there
fore lessened the weight of the petit
ton. Furthermore, the law does not
provide for such an advisory election
and therefore it could have no legal
standing, hence repeating could not be
punished. 1t is alleged that in the past
Wholesale Organization" has been re-
sorted to in order to carry elections
in Arlington, even when the election
was legal and not merely advisory.
Colonization Plot Fails.
Some things were noticed that looked
like preparations for just such "col-
onization" scheme again. Without the
restraint of law, who could expect a
fair election at the hands of those who
perpetrated the Trafton shenanigan
described in an earlier part of this
article? Upon mature consideration
Mr. Grimm changed his mind and the
board refused to order such an cleo
ton. Those who know Arlington's
capitalist politicians pest think the
board acted wisely and ninety per cent
of the people of the district are salts
fled. But the Chronicle, suppressing
the true reason for the refusal, is en-
deavoring to make capital of it.
Mrs. Jones Gets Busy.
