Commendatory Letters by

ASKED A PERTINENT QUESTION
Congressman Wanted to Know Whore
the Public Money Was Going to and
His Constituents Approve in Fash
ion That Has Startled Congress =
Other Washington News.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Feb 20-Representative
Henry A. Barnhart, of Indiana, has
been meeting UP with a manifestation
of public opinion lately and as a re-
suit has given his associates some
pointers on how the public Is feeling
about public questions.
Mr.. Barnhart is new member of
the house, and the other day he made
a speech on the increasing cost Of
government He pointed out the I'M
mense increase in the expenditures,
the growing deficit, and declared that
more than anything else, the plain,
work day people Of the country were
demanding to know what reason justi-
fed exaction from them of this I'M
mense tribute.
A leading newspaper in Indiana
printed the speech in full That was
about a week ago AS soon as the
mails had time to bring returns from
Hoosierdoln. Mr.. Barnhart received five
long letters from people at home,
MS SpeeCu. ~ lOOhSu IlAS
a remarkable manifestation of approx
al, but the next day he was shocked
to get a peck of 'em. Everybody was
writing about what a good speech he
had made; how entirely he was cor
rect in his impression that people
wanted to know where the money
went.
Next day Mr. Barnhart got hall
bushel of letters, and gave up as hope
less the task of reading and answering
them Immediately. He found however
that they were all of the same pur-
port and the day following just about
bushel of them came.
They have come. and are still COM
ing, not only from his own immediate
constituents, but from people all over
Indiana, and even from adjacent
states. Mr.. Barnhart opines that he
can throw a scare" into any member
of congress who doesn't think the pub
lie cares anything about the deficit
He is convinced that the deficit Is
about the most serious thing in tine
public mind at this time, and that a
bond issue in time of peace, toward
which the wise men of congress have
all said the country is surely drifting
would mean disaster to somebody In
politics.

Aesop. Up 70 Date.

Thinking it was a cinch, the Jungle
sports decided to repeat the rabbit
tortoise race where they could get .
good audience.
So they re-Marathoned It, giving .
large purse to the winner and slight
~ smaller one to the loser. The hare
did better this time and the result was
reversed.
And so both got vaudeville engage
ments, for both were champions. And
nobody took much interest in either of
them after that.
Moral-The race is not always to
the swift, but the Doodle goes to the
professionals.
