physical hardships, and finally with
a barefooted, partially fed a r m y
fought for liherty; w h i 1 e mothers,
wives, and daughters did man’s work
to feed the little ones at home, a n d
while toiling p r a y e d, for and lent
every possible assistance to the strug
gling soldiers that success m i g h t
crown their ellorts. Success came.
What they suffered for, yon and i
are indifercntly letting slip thru our
lingers— the privilege of self govern
ment, t li e opportunity of casting a
clean ballot for a cle vn man, the
tlie blood bought privilege of perpet
uating, on a solid foundation, .this,
the greatest nation..
if honest men refuse the right of
franchise, or neglect the privilege of
franchise it opens the ballot to ui
undesirable element whose votes
determine who shall represent us,and
who shall make our laws. Laws
that you and I must comply with
which leads us to a possible new
phrase, “Vole not kick not.’’

. goo My ..amber of the natives
in our village voted. 1 ecause of this
the uuestio has hee-i asked, “I)o
we really have a right to vote,and if
so do we become subject to all taxes,
road work etc the same as the white
man?”
This is a good live questsion. will*
some reader of the X. Iy. enlighten
the inquiring natives, some of whom
refused to vote because of the tax
issue? Our paper is to small for a
le lgidiy oppinion or a wordy theory.
Will some or.e give r.s the law?
