to the control of those corporations
which are seeking to obtain a mon
opoly of such sites. Secretary Ballinger
is in hearty accord with the policy.
He has had striking example of its
benefits in his own city of Seattle
where through the public ownership
of a watershed in the Cascade noun
tains the city enjoys an unpolluted
supply Of drinking water and, more
over, generates sufficient electricity
to light the entire city at nominal
cost. Had this policy been pursued at
Niagara, the natural water power de-
rived from the falls would have prov
ed sufficient to furnish abundant light
to every city In the Empire State, in
stead Of which the right to use that
power was donated to private concerns
who have garnered fortunes from a
power they did not create and are
charging extortionate prices to all
who use the electricity generated for
them by the falls. Congress will be
loath to heed the President S recon-
mendation thai further donations of
this character be prohibited by law,
for the individual member of Congress
who secures such donation meets the
expense Of his recurring campaign and
insures his perpetuity in office. And
yet the President is optimistic that
he will secure the legislation he asks.
Certainly all thoughtful and patriotic
citizens will wish him we'll in this
struggle with Congress-
The President has determined on a
policy of economy in the public ex-
penditures which cannot but prove
benef1clal to the nation but there IS
grave question in the minds of all but
himself whether Congress will be will
ing to cooperate. The spectacle of
Congress refusing to abolish useless
and expensive pension agencies be-
cause they afford jobs for importunate
constituents has REQUIRED year after
year. The same is true of useless GUS
tom houses. The same is true of the
receivers in the public land Offices,
and of many other offices which have
grown obsolete and which economy
demands shall be abolished. Truly no
thoughtful man can survey the tasks
the President has set himself without
wondering if it will be possible for
him to escape an open rupture with
the national legislature as it IS now
constituted.

There is just one job too big
for all the predatory powers
combined-the control Of every
state in the union every year.
One by one, this year, next year
or a dozen years hence, the dis
tant and diversified communities
that compose America will align
themselves for the right and the
general good. This gradual ac-
ton toward a concerted protest
against the unfaith Of past and
present senator's is just a warn
ing and certain sign that the
American spirit moves FORWARD
Unconstitutional in Philadel-
phia North American, Rep.
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1909-10-29

the world moves forward, helped
to the ultimate good by dint OF
the temporarily successful and
therefore disheartening efforts OF
the forces most eager to retard
progress.
We are not prepared to say
that this extreme change IN our
electoral system would be the
right. Immpt';ate remedy. We
regard it merely as a sign OF
the times, scarcely calling for
discussion, that would be only
academic as long as CannOnism
and Aldrichism dominate the ma
tiOnal congress.
For this expression of the
will of two-thirds of the states
will not reach further than the
pigeOnhOle of the desk OF some
committee chairman.
The smoothly phraSed, plaus
lille excuse of devotion to such
rigid adherence to the letter OF
the law as to defeat its spirit has
been somewhat cverworked sine
last March. But it is due to be
lugged out once more.
The constitution declares that
ION the application of the leg
islatureS of two-thirdS of tn
several states" congress shall
adopt resolution providing fol-
a constitutional convention to
make such changes in the cOnStl-
tuition as will make that inStru.
ment accord with the will OF
the people.
But the constitution provides
no way to compel congress to
put into effect the will of the
people so long as the people fail
to send to congress only such mel
as are honestly DESTROYS of do
ing the peoples will.
So there will be elaborate ex-
planning that the action of some
of the legislatures did not con-
.stitute an application, " but
amounted only to a statement
or a declaration" And, there
fore, in their reverence for the
law the honorable senators and
representatives will feel bound
to conclude that no message fit
for their consideration has been
sent to Washington by those var
iOus states.
But, what these men can not
check is the knowledge that this
discussion will impart to the peo-
pie of that wise provision of the
constitution that causes favorable
action of state upon a proposed
constitutional amendment to
stand for all time.

Peoples Command to the Senate

Peoples Command to the Senate
Paradoxical as it may seem,
when unfaithful public servants
apparently are most successful
in their disObedience Of law and
the public will, they are doing
more to hasten the day Of legisla-
ton that will guard all the
stronger the rights Of the PEG
pie.
This is the real meaning OF
the fact announced for the first
time by the North American yes
terday, that the legislatures OF
thirty-One states the required

to amend the constitution.

A prominent south side farmer
remarked to us few days ago.,
There are about rs signs Of
Great Bend business men posted
along the road from Harris cor
ner to the bridge, each one In
viting us to trade at a certain
place, but when we get to town,
we can't find a place to tie our
teams. Would it not be a good
idea for some of these merchants
to use a little of the money they
use for advertising to provide
hitching racks for the city on the
west side of the square, or else in
duce the city council to make
such provisionf" He is absolute
ly correct, so far as relates to
the city council. These racks
are needed, and should be re-
placed.
