cixson of q handful OF Senators who have thus

How practically one-haf of the Senate will

known.
About the few Senators who this quos-
lion have adopted the part of Sphinx viii rage
the storm. In their hands rests the fate of
& this legislation coming from the people. Why.
considering the Importance of their position
40 they maintain silence?
II is reasonable to suppose that these men
40 not declare themselves because they con-
slider that their votes on this question shall
~ cast as agents. rather than as individual ac-
..ors. They are awaiting the verdict of the
people of their districts They testing and
weighing the sentiment of the people by whose
var. ant they hold office. As it appears to them
that their people lean. so they will lean. The
statc of the enabling act depends. therefore.

SUGGESTION FOR SUMMER.

Anything that tends to lessen the irritation of the summer heat in these parts should command attention and particularly when the desirable thing pertains to the home. Do you cook with gas?
