One of the popular fallacies through
out the country is the idea that only
rich men come to the senate The
three mentioned above are all poor
men; and there are others. Senator
knute Nelson. of Minnesota, is a poor
man and lives economically now. as he
did when he was a member of the
house of representatives.
Senator's Allison and Dolliver, of
Iowa: Cullom and Mason of Illinois;
the senator's from North Dakota,
South Dakota, Idaho and all of the
states south of Mason and Dixon's line
are without wealth. II will thus be
seen that the body which has been
sneeringly alluded TO as "the million
aire club is not composed of very rich
men. On the contrary, a large major
ity of the senators must be classed
with the poor in this worlds goods.
Whether the people should send rich
men to the senate can be determined
only by the legislatures of the several

states. But they should bear in mind
the fact that acquired wealth does not
reduce a mans usefulness; whereas
inherited wealth frequently produces
love of ease and effeminacy. There
are several rich men in the senate; but
each one of them has acquired his
wealth by his own efforts, and they are
all useful senator's. For example,
there is Senator Elkins, of West Vir-
ginia. He is a man of wonderful en-
ergy and force, always busy, and al
ways doing his people some good.
There is Senator Hanna, of Ohio, a
man of acquired wealth, who is always
doing things for his people, man of
tireless energy, unpretentious and
plain. Senator Depew, of New York,
attained the senate because of his
capabilities as a working man; and he
is still busy. Senator Mcmillan, of
Michigan, although a millionaire, is
one of the hardest workers in public
life. Senator Clark, of Montana, prob.
ably the richest man in the world, &C.
uuired all of his millions by industry.
He never uses tobacco or alcohol in any
form, is always sober, and always
busy. These are the only conspicuous
rich men in the senate, and every one
of them is credit to that body, q
credit to his state and credit to the
republic.
Senator Mcmillan once told the mar.
rator how he acquired the splendid
mansion which is his home at Detroit.
He said that as soon as he was married
he undertook to buy a small house on
the installment plan. By rigid econ
omy, by denying himself all luxuries,
and some necessities, he managed to
pay for the house. Then he began to
buy the adjoining house in the row.
When that was paid for, his income
was much larger, so he bought every
house in the row, one at time. When
they were all paid for, he was mature
man, with a family in need of more
room; so he tore down the row and
built his palace where he began as a
young man in poverty.
Every successful man has had SIM
liar experience. Economy is in itself
great revenue. AS It is practiced in the
national capital by senator's, it is also
practiced by representatives. Their
mode of living, within their incomes,
should be lesson, an inspiration, to
young men and women everywhere.
They should avoid debt. The creditor
is a dangerous acquaintance. He fol-
lows at the debtors heels, dogs him
in his last moments, and stops only
at the graveyard gate. The children of
economical, thrifty people learn their
bookkeeping lessons of receipts and
expenditures every day. They are
thus educated and graduated into good
wives and husbands for the coming
generation. SMITH d. FRY.

Catarrh has already become a ma

More than one-half of the people are

They are not only con sidering the

ease, but the possibility of finding a.
