NEXT SUNDAY
THE BALLOT
As Haitians all over the coun-
try. from Port de Paix to Anse
D'Hainanlt, go to the polls next
Sunday, privileged for the first
time in their history with uni-
versal suffrage, they might' re-
flect on what organized govern-
ment and the right of the citi-
zen to elect it means to them.
As far back as recorded his-
tory reaches, we know that as
soon as a group of people desi-
red to live together, they needed
a government. Iwost frequently,
in the beginning, such a govern-
ment took the form of a monar-
chy, the king, or leader, attain-
ing his leadership by heredity.
Plato was one^ of the first to
describe an organized govern-
ment. His was to be one ruled
by the aristocracy, because,
through education and acquired
wisdom, they were best able to
guide the destinies of the mas-
ses.
As the pages of history began
to unroll, endless kinds of go-
vernments appeared all over the
civilized world, some existing
purely because-, of tradition,
others changed radically or
slowly in accord with an exis-
ting situation. Religious trends,
the appearance of particularly
strong personalities and wars.
affected various governments-
Monarchies seem to have predo-
minated the annals, of history..
Most important, though, it has
only been in the last few hun--
dred years, that the itasses ha~e.
been given midch choice i their
government. It is this factwhich
in so many parts of the world
has given 'new meaning to 6rga-
nized government.
Certainly one reason in many
places was that tie existing ru-
lers never wanted the vote to be
left to the decision of the mas-
ses. But, as a worldwide genera-
lization the lack of communica-

hibited the masses from know-

THIS CHURCH IS
Limonade's Church Where King
Christophe Had A Stroke
The answer to the question under the picture appearing in o
September 8th issue Do you know this Chui-ch? is fodnd below"
The church is located at Limonade, a village in I:e Noi-rh of Hai
with a population of 1500 inhabitants, about 17 ki'omct.is from Ca
Haitien.
Two events of uncontestable historic value are connected with this
village. Christopher Columbus chose it.to build Fort Nativity in Ja
unary 1493, making it America's first outpost.
Three hundred" twenty seven years later King Henry Christophe
was attending mass at its church when he fell, smitten with apoplexy.
An inscription mounted by a cross in the choir stand there is testi-
mony of the eyent.
The story of Limonade and Fort Nativity is covered in Gerard de
Catalogue's latest publication -A Guide to Cap-Haitien and The Cita-
del of King Christophe.. This book which is richly illustrated was
published under the sponsorship of the Department of Commerce
in 1956.
Mr. De Catalogne mentions that the discovery of 25 cadavers on
the Montholent plantation in limonade in 1784 removed all doubt
that these were the remaining Spaniards of the Christopher Colum-
bus expedition. Copper dated for the year 1472 later found in this
same spot by Moreiu de Saint Mery further contributed !o the facts
of the Spanish origin of the discovery.
Limonade and its church will gain still further glory, Mr. De Ca-
talogne said it is to be hoped when a suitable monument is erected
to record for posterity the events that took place there and which
are so worth of remembrance.
