Would Explain,
Discuss Problems
Of Government
To the people of Lincoln County.

10 the people OF Lincoln 1Oufly
The plan referred to in my pub
lished letter last week has to do
with a study Of school, county and
state government, and also with
discussion Of the law governing. the
usual business relations of every
one. There are questions asked me
as county attorney every week the
answers to which every one should
know. 1t occurs to me that all OF
us will profit by a better UNDER
standing of the practical working
especially Of our school and county
governments They are closest to
our everyday life. A better knoWl-
edge Of these things will give us
a clearer idea of what is going on
in the court house, how the wheels
20 round and who is throwing a
monkey wrench into the machinery.
With this better knowledge all Of LIS
will be better able to decide Wheth-
err our school and county govern
ments should be changed In order to
get better public service. A study
of the county manager form OF
county government would be inter
esting and instructive, and might re-
suit in Lincoln county adopting that
form Of government. A knowledge
of the duties of each county officer
will better help us to judge the
qualifications of candidates 1t Is
notorious that candidates seek and
are elected to offices Tor which they
have no special aptitude or train
ing, and such candidates will make
less Roadway.
The above statement Of the plan
is suggestive, not complete. If IN
terest is shown, it will naturally
grow and unfold to meet the ques-
tons uppermost in i'll .ss minds 81
the, people of Lincoln county LII
the unsettled state of the world to-
day with war and fear of war CIV
eryWhere a public forum for the
discussion of public questions in
volvlng our system of government
will help to make us better citizens
We have the radio and the press
but heart to heart, face to face
talks help too This little plan may
thus grow into something greatly
worth while. 1t seems to me that {
return to the old custom Of schoo
house meetings for the discussion
of public questions where all, not {
few only, may ask questions anc
learn what is going on in this mac
world of ours is desirable
The plan in its practical WORKING
contemplates meetings over a perloc
of one or two years in every schoo
district in Lincoln county. Not one
meeting, but several wherever suf
ficient public interest is shown ir
the movement. My services will be
free and | will pay my own per
sonal expenses. All that is asked il
a suitable building in which to hole
the meeting; that expense to bt
borne by the community in which
the meeting is held. If the move
ment grows invitingly | am sure
volunteers will help us carry on. LIE
it be understood that politics will
have no part in the discussions
Lawyers, doctors, ministers bust
ness men, farmers mechanics
housewives, laborers and other
with worth while message can b,

of great help if they will part with
their information and let us share
it with them.
Will the plan be carried OUT That
is up to the people of Lincoln
county Therefore | invite letters
from every one from all parts Of
the county. Give your ideas, make
your suggestions. II the movement
meets with favor in one or more
places we will start II there, and
our motto will be Watch our edu-
cational movement grow, and with
the right kind Of cooperation il
will grow.

A FTER obvious turbulence in the
past, there is tranquility in the
Goodwin home until Shelley appears.
Goodwin, in maturity, has renounced
his wild enthusiasm for saving man
kind. But to Shelley, the youth of 81
who has been endoctrinated with the
early Goodwin philosophy. there is no
such thing as renunciation He in
spires Goodwin to resume his youth,
to renew his verbal violence in a world
that needs a lot of upsetting that it
may be set right for the underprivi-

project to prove that the Malthusian

that there is hope for the good life
even for the least prepossessing mem
bers of the species.
While this gigantic effort to ration

progress, the emotions of every one

the Goodwin daughters fall in love with
Shelley, one platonically, while the

can give them no weight.
