then containing over $500 acres, to
Major Churchill Jones, who fought
through the war Of the Revolution un-
der Col VIM. Washington, Of Stafford,

him. HIS alleged ground for this was
that the bankruptcy bill ought to pass
1t was a clear confession of the mistake
he had made. and an acknowledgment
that ne had thus early found a bad re-
suit from the operation of his policy
which compelled him to abandon 1t. The
presumption is that there may be others
His fatal error was that he had aided to
put the house in an attitude in which 1t
was incapable of following out its inner
ent function of legisating for the people.
1t Is possible. though deplorable, that
one PARTY in the government may under
take, with party ends in view, to nuillty
the house as legislative body, but it IS
preposterous that both parties should
agree to this.
1t is very evident that Mr.. Bailey made
fool of himself in his attempted party
management of the question whether
congress, when in session, should at
tempt to perform its duties or neglect
them. Under the assumption and only
under the assumption that the body of
which he is member is not only utterly
incapable of proper action, but is OF
necessity when in action menace to the
country, could its present condition OF
extreme uselessness and idiotic servitude
be excused. But such admission is to
brand our system of government, or any
system of free government (for it is inn
possible to see how we could arrive at a
better representative one). most dismal
and pronounced failure. 1t is to admit
that a body elected to look after, guard
and protect the nations interests, of all
kinds, is so incompetent, or worse, that it
cannot be allowed to act at all.
AS to Mr.. Bailey he can offer this eX
cuse-that his policy fairly represented
the worthlessness of the party to which
he pretends to belong, and which it i:
evident to the most obtuse OBJ; ha;
outlived its usefulness, and must soor
give way to some new organization witt
life and energy enough to know wha
should be done, and principle enough tc
undertake to do it.
The very small republican vote les
than one-half), sustaining the presen
policy of doing nothing, shows how
uneasy republican members are. and for

LETTERS TO MlpoLEsuRv PEOPLE

Mrs. A. A. FLETCHER, Middlebury, Vt.
Madam Mrs, Z. 5. Harris of Ben
nington, VT, says her washwoman
doesn't like Harmless soap,
Her washwoman is not logical soap
and clothes saver. for If she were. she
wouldn't condemn a soap that don't rot
clothes.
Mrs. Harris likes Harmless soap be-
cause 1t is harmless, and because it is
Mrs. Harris's clothes, not the wash
woman's clothes, that are being washed.
The washwoman thinks she likes
strong soap, and the stronger the bet
ter. because she isn't washing her own
clothes.
Sense does not always regulate our
likes and dislikes. Offer the thirsty
man sparkling water or frothy beer, and
he very likely will take the beer, when
he knows that water will quench his
thirst. and that beer will make him
thirstier.
The beer drinker is used to beer, and
therefore drinks beer.
The user of strong soap Is used to
strong soap, and continues to use strong
soap. lust because she always has used
1t. She knows that mild soap will do
the work as well, and not iniure the
clothes.
We could easily make Harmless soap
to suit Mrs. Harris's washwoman'
prejudice. All we would have to do
would be to put more lye into it and to
! lie about it. 1t wouldn't be Harmless,
/ but it would be strong, and would rot
more clothes in year than a ton of it
would cost
We make Harmless soap for people
who want to economic rightly. who
would rather pay little more for Harm
les; soap and save the clothes, than a
little less for cheap soap and rot
clothes.
Yours truly,

The article on "Direct Primaries" in
another column, taken from The Outlook
of New York, is very timely one and
worthy of the attention of every voter.
The part of the article quoted from the
st. Paul Pioneer Press is especially
forcible, and we think will meet with
our citizens.
The analysis of the faults of congress
by the noted historian, John Clark Rid
path, which follows in our columns the
Outlook article on Primaries, and which
we copy from the Burlington Free Press.
is very keen and searching. The facts
of history largely support Mr.. Ridpath's
contentious.
