 Welcome Callers.
 Recent callers at The Republican office who were very welcome were two of the star performers in the last great contest of The Republican the veterans. Birdie Shott and Eva Young It will be remembered how these two raced for points and how each won her coveted scholarship Birdie. who got a course in the Ari- Zona School of Music, called to say how delighted she was with that grand piano at Redewilrs. Birdie is quite a musician and took a great deal of pleasure in trying out the Vose X Sons Beauty. the grand prize of the present contest. She said: 'l just love that perfect piano. l had no idea how beautiful it was till went down to see it. The action is so much better than in an ordinary upright. My.

 Eva Young was a high school stud ent at Mesa during the last contest. She won out and took the first course at Lamsons Business College. She continued her course at the high school until she graduated, with hon ors, and it is but now that she is taking advantage of her prized schol- arship. She is now one of the best students at Lamson's. She came to the office to bring a nice bunch of for Eugenia Guthrie. saying: T can not do much, but I am saving all the coupons I can for Eugenia. want her to win one of those scholar ships so much" Eva said her first desire every morning is to fly for The Republican to see how the contestants T s.l her a world of good and she was glad she had an opportunity like it.

House Rules Despotic.

The third fundamentally to defeat the
will of the people is found in the rules of
the house of representatives. Our plat
form points out that the house of rep
resentatives was designed by the fathers
of the constitution to be the popular
branch of our government, responsive to
the public WILL" and adds:
1.-The house of representatives, con-
trolled in recent years by the Republican
party, has ceased to be deliberative and
legislative body. responsive to the will of
a majority of the members, but has come
under the absolute domination of the
speaker. who has entire control of its de-
alterations and powers of legislation.
1--WE have observed with amazement the
popular branch OF our federal government
helpless to obtain either the consideration
or enactment of measures desired by a
majority of its members"
This arraignment is fully justified. The
reform Republicans in the house of rep
resentatives. when in the minority in their
own party, are as helpless to obtain a
hearing or to secure vote upon meas

Why No Railroad Legislation?

For ten years the interstate commerce
commission has been asking Tor an en-
larsement of it's powers, that it might
prevent rebates and determinations, but
a Republican senate and republican
house of representatives We're unmoVed
by it's entreaties. In 1900 the Repupncah
rational convention was urged to endorse
the demand for railway legislation, but
its platform was silent on the subject
Even in 1904 the convention gave no pledge
to remedy these abuses. When the pres
ident finally asked for legislation he drew
his inspiration from three Democratic ma
tional platforms and he received more
cordial support from the Democrats tnan
from the Republicans. The Republicahs
i'm the senate deliberately defeated several
amendments offered by Senator La Fol-
Iette and supported by the Democrats
amendments embodying legislation asked
by the interstate commerce commission
One of these amendments authorized ine
entertainment of the value of railroads
This amendment was not only defeated by
the senate, but IL was overwhelmingly re-
jected by the recent Republican national
convention. and the Republican candidate
has sought to rescue his party from the
disastrous results of this act by express
ing himself in qualified way, In favor

whatever that large majority of the vot-
