HIS HEART YEARNs FOR PROXIMITY
To THE WABASH.
Several other Indiana Congressmen
Tell the Journal How Busy They
VIII BE This Year.

The time OF year is at hand when every
body, from ONCE boy 20 capitalist. from
the humblest occupant of a public posi-
ton 10 the member Of Congress, United
States senator and President of the Nation,
turn their thoughts upon the subject OF
an outing vacation of some kind.
| Whether it be spent in a houseboat along a
rivers shaded bank. in tent in some
favored bit Of woods. on Western ranch.
up somewhere in the mountains. by the
seashore or autobiography who feels
the need of relaxation from the work OF the
past year will take it in some form in linz
tied or extended duration in the next three
or four months.
Each member OF the Indiana delegation
in Congress was asked recently the ques-
ton, Where do you intend to spend your
| summer vacation" and the replies received
were interesting.
| II have no plans for the summer which
would be of any public interest" said Sen
ator Fairbanks. 1T is my expectation now
to go home and work as have done here
/ tOfore."
Senator Beverage. as was announced
eAAAAS o6os Will SltliQ luOSl Ol the SUM-
mer in this city, and will do much literary
work.
Representative Lands is more hopeful.
''As much OF my summer as possible" he
said, will be spent in my home on the
banks of Deer crick' from which point 1
! can see the candle lights cleaning on the
banks of the Wabash 1 would rather
/ spend my vacation IN sweet little Delphi
with Judge Gould, Ike Dreifus, Major Rick
cts. Doc Cochran and about $500 OF the best
! people on earth than in the White noun
tains or at the seashore."
KNOWS NO VACATION.
One of the fullest replies TO the query
came from Representative Robinson who
said:
| Il have never known a vacation time TO
! come 10 me, not a week. l went home a
few days ago, and in forty-eight hours
/ prepared several long interviews for the
/ press, made four speeches on different top
| les, presided over a meeting for Judge r.
! $ Taylor, who had been detained in New
York, and met personally at least 1,50O
people. This, i think, was only the minor
| part of my labors during these two we'll
rounded days l only mention these mat
| tiers TO illustrate the work that / am called
| upon TO do when | am In my district. and
always spend the summers IN my district
L think no year has elapsed for the period
OF ten years that did not make from nifty
to seventy-hve addresses. long and short.
/ purely OF social nature, including talks
! 10 schools. fairs, lodges Dicnics churches
labor events and the like.
Three years ago 4 made four speeches
| on the 4th OF July, travelling in a buggy
! forty miles 10 accomplish this. Last year
1 made two, and they were separated by
| two changes OF cars and trip by buggy
This Is strenuous life but 1 am per-
| fectly suited with it. OF course, the cam
| paign follows later, and everybody knows
! where L Will be then. IL might be stated
! that L have hundred lakes Ia my district
and the largest in the State, except Lake
Michigan-Lake Maxinkuckee-is within
TWO miles OF the edge Of the district. So
we don't have to go abroad TO find a good
place TO spend a vacation"
Representative Miers expects TO be at his
nome In bloomington and in the Second
district the greater part of the summer
! de Will, however, go TO a northern resort
for few weeks-probably in Michigan or
