small To THE HERALD there seems
an easy remedy for this. Reduce
the number of Legislators 10, say,
fifty, select such men as those men:
toned by the Post, and there will
be less, but more effective legisla-
ton. OF course with the reduction
in number could come a cores
ponding increase of pay. and the
true statesman while being thus
enabled TO serve his state, would at
the same time act with more facility
in attending to the states business,
in order to the more quickly return
TO his own private affairs, which
would of necessity suffer more or
less from the non-attention. The
trouble is the men who are willing
to sacrifice themselves upon the
altar of their state. in the capacity
of law makers, are usually those
whose ambition is their only stock
in trade and for exceeds their abili-
ty. OF course there are exceptions,
but these only prove the rule, but
a majority of them have not the
know how" and like the smart
young man who essayed to upbraid
an aged but learned physician who
had taken a drop to much and had
fallen by the roadside. they will
never get over what is the matter
with them.
As the Post says let the place
seek the man, and turn a deaf
ear TO the place hunter. If the
Hon. George Clark, of Waco, is
to sacrifice to a certain OK
tent, his own personal interests,
and harken TO the voice of duty,
by accepting the call of his fellow
men, others can be found who will
do likewise. When this is done,
there will be fewer and better laws,
and the confidence of the world
will be our own.

other candidate. he will be nominated
despite his wishes.
When the president reached Harris
burg on his way west he told some
politicians and newspapermen that he
had left Secretary Taft "sitting on the
lido in Washington, and those who
were familiar with the secretary's 300
pounds weight appreciated the joke.
The secretary is certainly doing the
presidents bidding and the result is
that there is not enough news, aside
from political gossip, to fill a news
paper column. ''There are some good
things on the fire, but they are not
done yet," is the secretary's daily an
nouncement TO the crowd of desperate
newspaper correspondents who call on
him every afternoon, all of which is
taken to indicate that there will be
ssplenty doing'' when the president
gets back next month.
