SECRETARIES

Washington, April 22.-The right of
the people Ito petition the government
for redress or grievances" which
is one of the guarantees in article l
of the constitution of the United States,
does not meet the approval of secre-
taries to senator's and representatives.
1t is the broad exercise of this right
which makes it necessary for the sec
retaries to work late into the night
Cumming out letters advising folks
back home that their petition has
been received and will have careful
consideration and attention." Proba-
bly, one-half the correspondence re-
ceived by members of congress has
