Biupder Or Crime.

Napoleon said that blunder was
worse than a crime. Viewed by
results that is oftentimes true.
Just now 1t looks as If Spain had
made the worst kind of blunder
in shooting Prof. Ferrers, and the
results are not unlikely to prove
disastrous. OF course we cannot tell
how far, if at all. Fcrrers was to
blame. but when Spanish history IS
considered it is probable he had good
grounds, for his political attitude.
That he was learned and able schol-
ar of upright life is conceded. Any
way Spain would have stood better IN
the eyes OF the world, and her in
ternal affairs would have prohted, II
q lighter penalty had been imposed.
AS it is the old Spanish cruelty and
reactionism have triumphed. AS for
Ferrers he will be regarded as a
martyr by millions of his country
men and others, and martyrs have
wonderful knacE. dead though they
may be. of exertlng a mighty intlu-

ment have let loose the wind; they
may th:nh themselves lucky II they
are not swept away by the whirl-

Ask Your Congressman.

The Jeffersonian Magazine wants
to know if the accommodating Repre-
sentative for whom you have been
voting, and who has been gladden.
ing your heart with garden seed
and copies of speeches which read
so much better than the record OF
his votes--is in your midst again.
That cordial smile and glad-hanG
are making the rounds Of the dis
trict once more. are they not? Let
US make suggestion. Ask your
Congressman. a few questions. Try
to find out what he did for you, il
Washington.
Ask him IL he is one Of the gen
tlemen who voted themselves an in
crease in salary-an increase Of So
500 per year. If he says Yes" and
defends his action. inquire his rea-
sons for clipping the Salary Grab
through Congress without a RECORD
vote. If the grab was right, why
was he unwilling for his name to go
on record that way?
Down to three years ago, the sala-
ry was $1,000 per year. Consequent
iy. your Congressman was paid
$4,000 of your money, for about
eight months of his valuable. time
Besides. he was allowed big mile
age-considerably more than his ac-
tual travelling expenses.
without saying word to you
about his intentions, your pubic
servant jumped the amount of his
wages from $4,000 to $500 per
year. And he did it in such way
that the Congressional Record does
not reveal his name. The vote did
,aot go upon record. They were
afraid, or ashamed, to let you see
who it was that had pleaded with
YOU so hard for a $4,000 job, and
who then. without consulting you,
changed 1t into $500 job.
Was your Congressman one Of the
men who sneakily added $4,000 to
his wages? Was he one of the men
who put his own valuation upon his
services, and took $4,000 OF your
money for about eight months stay
In Washington. Ask him.
Ask him: if he voted with the
Lumber Trust and against free lum-
her. If he did ask your smiling,
handshaking Congressman why he
voted for the Lumber Trust and
against every man In his district
who had to build house in violation
of the Democratic platform on which
he was elected?
