Com ntitnicdted.

People are dissatisfied that the big takers
who represent the nation have not accom-
plished anything in Washington. Did they
expect that? They have themselves selected
the best takers to represent them. Now
the world is divided into thinkers, doors and
takers, and most men are mixed up OF all
three features, but those who are specialists
in one thing are usually poor in other d.
rections. The negro race shows specimens
of people who talk much but whose doing
and thinking does not amount to anything.
When the doors have selected the most prom
inent takers to 60 to Washington and the
doors themselves remain on their farms or
at their business, to do something useful,
how can they expect the takers TO do any
thing else than to talk? Talking is their
business, and they have fulfilled it and talk
ed that is all and they are not to be blam-
ed as they were not able to do anything else.
If something was wanted done the doors
themselves should have gone to Washington.
L HAT the uoeio Oouiu eAPeSV ""J '"i"S eioe
shows that the doors are not much OF think
ers. The thinkers can see it clearly, but as
they do not say much, being usually poor
takers, and especially do not act in any
noisy way so that they are heard through
the rattle of all the talking, they must keep
it for themselves. Nevertheless it is very
wise of the doors to send the worst takers
to place by themselves to annoy each other
and entertain us, because nothing is more
disturbing for people who are at work than
to have fellows around who talk continually.
But the doors must not be unjust and de-
mand of the takers to accomplish what is
above their ability: to work.
