'.Unbiascd'' Wants America to Con
 tinuc As Free Country.

Dear Editor:
 Anyone who has visited an in sane asylum has come across many patients confined there who are in sane one particular thing but are perfectly sane in other matters. Yet the law says they are not competent to look after their own affairs.
 Then why should not bigotry be classed a specie of insanity or dis order of the intellect. The word bigorty means one obstanately and blindly devoted to a party or partic- ular creed, opinion or practice. un- duly prejudiced and unreasonably jealous for a certain cause.
 At the present time America is over run with bigots on religion. prohibition. anti-tobaCco and other parties. who are trying to Coerce HIS to their biased way of thinking
 America is supposed to be a free country, and our constitution says. that all men are entitled to their own way of thinking and to worship in any way they see iii. In the face of this: Why should the law allow bigots to rule over sane and broadminded peo- pie. who do not believe in selfish and narrowminded hypocrisy?

RIGHT VOTING.

There Is work. real work. ahead of every voter in the United States if he wants to lay just claim to deserving citizenship. For the old voter the work may be less arduous. tor he should know how to 20 about it, but the work is nVno the less real than that which confronts tho new voter be he foreign or American born.
 The work referred to is the task of studying the political. economic and social problems of the day: studying tho attitude of each of the candidates upon them. and then coming to a con- clusion as to which one has the right beliefs and which one will be the moro inclined to live up to his be- nefs.
 Ot course. this is "old stuff" but there is much "stuff' Of that char acter that should be looked into. The man in middle life perhaps has be- come accustomed 10 voting casually: so has the young man and the old. Tt is never too late to alter a bad habit and in spite of the ancient character of the advice. it is given now in all carncstness.
 There is no need to summarize the problems that confront us, Perhaps the greatest Is what attitude should we assume in regard to other coun- tries. Tho coming election may change the affairs of tho United States beyond what it is possible to contemplate today We should go Into the future possibilities; seek counsel on which we rely and discuss tho situation as calmly and with as open a mind as our human fraiIties permit.
 Platitudes are awful. Free this urging from that quality which bores, and consider the matter We may repeat prayers over and over until | they :ose any vital quality. Cease this in regard to matters which we
 may have discussed and .pondered over for years Let us open our | minds. forget Republicanism or De- mocracy and flash the new light that has come from war developments upon the questions of today. And when that light has disclosed | the situation honestly; when a clear | conviction comes. may we vote in ac- cordanco with that conviction.
