I t is probable th at the school board w ill take immediate action to have wishes of the people carried o u t ROTA WON QUARTET PLEASED AUDIENCE The job of judge or clerk of »ny election is usually-a trying one, with very small compensation, and in this last School Bond Election, those so acting received nothing for their services.

This was the cause of dissappointment in several cases, but the judges are to be commended for conforming to the law, though no doubt quite unpleasant to challange a voter. Those who thought they had the right to vote, and were not permitted to do so, may have thought it unjust, but we believe the judges acted .with justice and fairness in their decissions.
