1t is astonishing to intelligent
people to see so many seemingly
public-spirited persons stay away
from the polls on election day,
and then go around ever after
ward with a chip on his or her
shoulder, knocking the officials
whom they allowed others tc
elect. It seems that some people
think that an election is for a
favored few. The expression,
1 don't take any stock in poll
ties, is often heard from the
lips Of persons who otherwise
show a splendid public spirit,
and, after allowing others -
elect officials they do not like,
they are heard to severely de-
nounce the people for putting
into office such unworthy meE
to control the affairs Of the gov
ernment.
This is most inconsistent, FOR
these critics are among the very
people whom they denounce. for,
as everyone knows, no person can
be elected to office in this free
land without the votes of a ma
jority. Every time you allow an
election to pass without partici-
patlng in it YOU are saying by
your action that you are pleased
with the officials elected and tha;
they are the very best to be had.
And then to go about knocking
and denouncing such officials
IS inconsistency personified.
Next Tuesday, just one week
from today, is election day and
| if YOU are interested in the vel
| fare Of your county, state Or ma
ton. go to the polls and express
your choice for officers to handl,
your interests. Don't be guilty
of staying away and saying yor
are not interested IN politics. L
You do. for the sake Of all that j:
fair and just, keep mum eve
afterwards.
Election is the process b,
which a free government or an,
organization or society chooses:
those who are placed in position
Of authority. and if we do no
!; avail ourselves Of the privilege
! we should be ashamed to g
about forever knocking.
: Vote for your choice next Tues
day and then if your candidat
: is defeated, you will have at leas
the consolation Of knowing yo
: did your duty.

Of Community Fairs. it was stat
ed that the Roseneath Fair would

Great preparations have been
made for these fairs and it Is
hoped that every one who can
will attend.
