But in such case he should not try to
constituents or by auroitIy seeking at
the same time to thwart their wishes
in secret and yet apparently to act SO
as to retain their good will. He should
never put holding office above keeping
straight with his conscience. and If the
measure as to which he differs with
his constituents is of sufficient i'm
portance. he should be prepared to go
out of office rather than surrender on
matter of vital principle Normally.
however, he must remember that the
very meaning of the word representa-
tive is that the constituents shall be
represented.
1t is his duty to try to lead them to
accept his views, and 1t is their duty to
give him as large a latitude as possible
in matters of conscience, realizing that
the more conscientious the representa-
tive Is, the better he will In general
represent them; but If a real and vital
split on a matter of principle occurs. as
in the case of man who believes in
the gold standard, but finds that his
constituents believe in free silver the
representative duty is to neither aban-
don his on beliefs nor try to beat his
constituents by a trick, but to fight
fairly for his convictions and cheerfully
accept defeat If he cannot convert his
constituents to his way of thinking

ator Lamar of Mississippi took on this

Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
MOLLIE's GuMPTIoN.

Back in southern Ohio they wer
known as Jim and Mollie. Now they
are Mr.. and Mrs - of Pittsburg.
They were children of neighhorina
hill farmers and went to school three
or four months in winter and worked
the remainder Of the year. and they
were In love with each other.
Jim built log cabin on one corner
of his fathers rocky acres and mar
ried Mollie. and they managed to get
along fairly well.
Mollie was ambitious
One day she said to Jim: "You were
always good at books. especially arith-
metic. You should be civil engineer.
Let's go to college and educate you"
Which took Jim's breath.
How can go to college? We have
no money" And Mollie smiled and
said. "Come on. let's 60" And they
scraped up barely enough to pay their
car fare to the college town.
Which seemed a reckless voyage.
But Immediately Mollie got Job az
waitress in a college boarding house.
Jim took care of furnaces, cut lawns
and did all sorts Of odd chores Al
the end Of six months they rented
cottage and opened a boarding house
of their own. When the spring semes-
ter closed they had $500 In bank.
| That was more money than Jim
could have made in five years on the
| hills.
| Before the second year was over a
red headed baby came to their board
| ing house. which complicated things
! to some extent. But Jim succeeded In
crowding four years work into three.
Three months before graduation day
a Pittsbure man offered any senior q
Job as craftsman at $50 month.
All refused-except Jim.
1 Mollie had talked with the man and
, looked him over carefully. and she
said to Jim, ''Take the job" And Jim
took 1t.
| The outcome?
| Five years afterward the Pittsburg
man took Jim as a partner. and last
year half the profits of the engineer
ing firm were $270
/ Now. how did Mollie know Jim
would make an engineeri why did
she take long chance in going away
from the farm? Why did she advise
Jim to take the Job at SEQ month?
/ Why, Mollie had gumption.
: And that is one of the most valua-
BILE things in the world. Many women
have It. 1t is more than Intuition. II
is the prophetic faculty plus pluck. Il
is instinct coupled with daring.
! The feminine mind is wonderful In
/ fits fruitfulness when given a chance.
If you are married to a Mollie who
has gumption no as she bids you.

The Evening Chit-Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

Unquestionably an ideal representa-
tive body. Such q body, if composed
of men of unusual courage. indiffer-
ence. sympathy and high mindedness
anxious to represent the people. and at
the same time conscientious in their
determination to do nothing that is
wrong, would so act that there would
never come the slightest demand for
any change in the methods of enacting
the laws.
Unfortunately, however. in actual
practice too many of our legislative
bodies have not really been representa-
tibe; and not few of the ablest and
most prominent men in public life have
prided themselves on their ability to
use parliamentary forms on their abili-
ty to parliamentary forms to de-
feat measures for which there was a
great popular demand.
Special interests which would be
powerless in general election may be
'all-powerful in a Legislature il they
enlist the services of a few skillful tao
ticians; and the result is the same
whether these tacticians are unscrupul-
Gus and inspired by the special inter
ests or whether they are sincere men
who honestly believe that the people
desire what is wrong and should not be
allowed to haye it.
Normally a representative should
represent his constituents. If on any
point of real Importance he finds that
he conscientiously differs with them he
must, as matter of course, follow his
own conscience, and there he may not
only perform his highest duty, but also
render the highest possible service to
his constituents themselves.

suous delicacy and witchery. At the
same time the very austerity of these
pieces interestingly points TO the mood
of an old epoch. one divines here the
characteristic feeling of a generation
more severe in taste than our own.
Beauty was not pursued for its own
sake in those sedate times. nor was the
instinct for it fed by anything like the
multitude of streams of culture Of which
we have been made free. Instead of the
lightuess and invention which make for
cage admiration. these craftsmen We're
