The Evidence
of Intelligence

One hears a good deal these
days about some OF the Western
Senator's having Changed their
minds" in reference to some OF
the tariff Schedules. 1t is point
ed out that a number of gentle
men who nave declared that
they would vote for free wool,
and free sugar after three years,
are pledged different to their
people back home. Senator
Sutherland of Utah, declares that
when people change their minds
too often lit is an evidence OF
instability" To this Senator
Callinger makes reply: lit seems
to me-" said the Senator, "whe-
ther it is an evidence of intetli-
gence or not depends upon the
direction in which they change
their minds" BY the same
process OF reasoning a great
statesman recently remarked
that a lobbyist is a man who
works against your bill while Il
man who is working for you il a
patriot.
