Since the freight traffic has fallen
off somewhat on the La Grande di-
vision of the o. r. & ~, all the
freight engines have been taken out of
the pool and regular crews have been
assigned to their engines again. For
the past four months all the crews
have been in the pool or 'chain gang
and no one had a regular engine
owing to the extremely heavy volume
of business. Now practically all of
the extra crews are idle. Only 10
freight crews are at work now while
a few months ago over 40 crews were
working.

Another chapter in our national

forming to party usage long estab-

the Republican electorate from every
state and territory within the con-
fines of the Republic, meets in this
high council to submit the record of
its achievements to the critical re-
view of the American people and
make fresh avowal OF it's faith in the
principles and policies of the Repub-
lican party.
The trainers of the Federal Consti-
| tuition wisely provided that all gov

with and retained by the people, and
that their chosen Representatives Sc
lected to administer the affairs of
government should be vested with
only a limited tenure of official life,
and at regular and stated periods
render an account of their steward
ship to their rightful sovereign, to the
end that the administra tion of public
affairs, through the instrumentality
of individuals and parties. should at
all times conform to and reflect the
dominant judgment of the American
people.
To this end the constitutional term
of the executive office is limited to
four years. the senatorial six, with a
third of its membership subject to
change every two years. while the
