Your Own Fault.

Old voters and new, men and Wonl-
en-, may we have serious word with
you today?
Occasionally we hear complaints up
on the matter of municipal, school,
county and state taxes levied on prop
erty in this section.
/ Now and then some one beats about
the extremely bad type of man who
| succeeds in being elected to public
office.
Bond issues for public improve
ments are frequently the cause of
wailings and lamentations. Assess
ments against real estate for these
improvements are always provoking
loud outcries from those who own the
land subject to the assessments.
For years and years the party in
power at Washington, st. Paul, yea,
even in Sleepy Eye, has been round
| ly condemned for its policies or lack.
| of them.
Our city commissioners are not in
frequently the target for complaints
in the things which they do or leave
undone.
Did it ever occur to you that upon
you yourself rests the responsibility
of electing the right sort of man to
office and seeing to it that, while in
office, he does his duty?
| This is an actual fact.
Under our form of government, of
ten inaccurately termed a democracy
but more accurately termed that of
republic, the entire responsibility
rests upon the individual.
Your vote counts just as much as
the vote of the richest and most pow
erful man in the country. Your in
fluence may be more or less limited
to the number of friends who you
may be able to win over to your way
of thinking but your vote is the peer
of any other vote in the United
States.
From the days of the Boston Tea
Party" the Battle of Lexington and
the surrender of CORVALLIS at York
town men have given their lives in
order to protect you in the right to
vote and to make secure for you
voice in the government of our coun-
try.
| 1T is obvious then that this herit-
age of yours which has come down
the years sanctified by the blood of
our heroes should be jealousy guard
ed and priced.
This being the case, from now on,
are you going to use your right to
vote in order to have your voice in
selecting those who will hold public
office and to have your say As 70
what the policy of local, state and
federal governments should be?
A few days ago a man told US that
he did not vote at the recent primary
because he was busy at his store. A
woman told us that she did not vote
because she had not completed wash
ing the supper dishes until too late to
attend
How silly are such excuses for
Sinking the trifling effort and few
minutes of time needed to cast a bal
lot!
The municipality spends thousands
of dollars of taxpayers money every
year, the state MILLIONS and the Unit
ed States billions. A part of this is
your tax money which is being spent.
You are stockholders in these vast
corporations.
When you invest your money in the
stock of private corporations do you
at once forget it and permit others
