• • • that government of the people, by the people,
for the people shall not perish from the earth.'—Lincoln
Aesop’s Fable--Modern Version
Not so very long ago in a little town in Washington the people
one day wended their way to the polls to vote. The people, thatis>
who had the foresight to register. When the election returns were
tabulated the little town, like Byron, awoke the next morning to
find itself famous. For duly chosen for one of the city offices was a
mule, owned by a farmer with a sense of humor or something
who had seen to it that his mule’s named appeared on the ballot.
In many towns, after an election, people have awakened to find
an ass elected to a position of trust and influence—discovered it, al
as, much too late to do something about it. Next time, they say, 1
shall register, and have my say in things. For even they know they
become as hypocrites if they employ not their franchise and then
do criticize mightily the results of an election.
Only eighty-nine citizens, good and true, have so far inscribed
their cognomens in the registration book of the incorporated city
of Kodiak
Moral: Register thyself now and be not an as3 thyself later.
