It 1 only too obvious that the T Think and Vote THE priceless inheritance of a free people the election ballot imposes two responsibilities upon citizens, first that they should use it and secondly that they should cast their ballot intelligently. To neglect to vote is to admit that freedom means nothing. It also means that neglectful citizens have no interest in how they're governed, the laws under which they live or how much taxes they care to pay. Too many people fail to vote and then cry in anguish over the acts of those elected. Those who see their candidates and their beliefs defeated have legitimate right to criticize. The intelligence with which the ballot should be eus't lias nothing to do with the voter's scholastic ability. The intelligent votes are those cast by persons after a logical study of the candidates and the "issues involved in the light of the voter's own par-" ticular rights, interests and desires. lm We do not have the lively election meetings such 'as we once knew. They are few and far between although the Junior Chamber of Commerce organizing one for tonight. This will give the public the opportunity to hear discussion of affairs bearing on the election this week. The candidates should be treated with the respect due to those who despite the pressure of business, and family ties are willing to serve and give their time to fellow citizens. They are entitled to that respect and tribute regardless of their views on the problems and polities of the clay. Then on Thursday we can turn out and vote on the candidates and the questions before us, each according to our opinion, or we can simply admit that we don't care, by not voting. . However, we would suggest that the election-day hermit has no place in responsible citizenship. With God's Help v;" ' 7 j OH, LORD, I acknowledge Thy existence and the existence of a lot of other things less godly which I can overcome only with Thy help. Give me strength to lightly bear my burden of living. Teach me that sixty minutes make one hour, sixteen ounces one pound, and one hundred cents one dollar. Help me to live so that at night I can lie down with a clear conscience, unhaunted by the faces of those to whom I have brought pain. Grant, I beseech Thee, that I may earn my meal ticket on the .square. Deafen me to the jingle of tainted money and the rustle of unholy skills. Blind me to the faults of the other felluv but reveal to me my own. Guide me so that each night when I look across the dinner table at my wife, who has been to me a blessing, I will have nothing to conceal. Keep me young enough to laugh with my 'children and to lose myself in their play. The foregoing prayer was written In 1916 by Homer McKee of Indiana who grew up to become one of the world's most Rifled advertising copy writers. He died two years ago last month.
