WHAT APRIL MEANS TO LUBBOCK

This year. at least. April means much to Lub-
book. not altogether the month in particular. but
the calendar of April there three very import
ant dates One was Saturday the first day,
when members OF the school board elected.
This was important, and it was well taken for
by the people who in favor of good schools
and good school management, another is today
the day which city officials will be chosen by the
people and this matter great Importance is placed
and means much for the future of the town. The
other date important is April 5th On this
date depends almost the entire future of Lubbock
On this date the people of Lubbock will say by their
votes whether they want Lubbock to grow and be-
he most important town in the Western part
of the State whether they will drop back into the
third fourth class town class The failure OF the
bond issue will mean that we are not to take any
further steps forward. and there such thing
as stand still in the matter of town building.
will naturally begin to go backwards. But the Ava
Isnche not willing to believe that the people of
<his community going to put damper on the
towns progress by voting against the issue and we
are confident that if the people will awaken to their
duty and vote that they will put the bond issue
an good shape, and Lubbock will make more rapid
strides in building. and will take her place as
the biggest and best town the Plains.

SPECIAL SESSION NOT NEEDED

The report that there may be special session
of the Texas Legislature called to Investigate many
hoggings throughout the State has brought about
considerable talk. So far the Avalanche see
this would be a very uncalled for expense TO the
people. There are sufficient laws the statute
books now to convict fellow Of anything under the
sun if the officers and the do their full duty
IF men will serve criminal juries. and see that
crime is punished as il deserves, this Ku Klux bust
ness will die out, and nothing will be heard
from it. The lack of law enforcement, we see
it has been the for all of this disturbance We
believe this would have better effect than all the
special sessions that Governor Neff could call En-
force the laws we already have and there will be
no law and order leagues. K. K K. whatever
you might want to call them

AN IMPORTANT ELECTION TO-DAY

Today an election is beng held for the purpose
of electing city officials. Its importance should not
be discounted. Every legal voter within the incor-
porate limits of the city should vote. 1t is cleo.
lion in which everyone should be interested, and
you should vote because il is your duty You should
have a say in the selection of the officers for such
important positions Mayor and City Commissions
What the Avalanche is most anxious for is a
heavy vote so that those elected will he the choice
of the majority of the voters and not merely elected
by few struggling votes like it has been in the past
Vote today Let the vote of Lubbock voice the
choice of who shall have charge Of the business Of
the city this year.
