WHAT A WISE MAN SAYS

81 consider Senator Bailey's recent
defense of our representative system
OF government one of the ablest ever
made l was charmed with its force
and eloquence. But through it all
there ran in my mind this question:
| If the system is without fault, why is
! il that so many honest and able men
| find fault with it? That there is
widespread dissatisfaction with the
fruits of representative government
no one can deny. If the system is
sound, why does it fail to satisfy? Is
| it the violin or the violinist that caus-
eS the discord? Has the representa-
tive system failed, or have we failed
to understand how to apply it? Con-
gress is the only place to which the
people can come for remedial legisla-
ton affecting the general welfare. We
speak and act for them by their di-
rection and with their consent. We
may hold with Burke that it is our
Judgment and not theirs that will best
conserve the interests of the people
We may insist that we are chosen be
cause of our superior knowledge and
experience in legislative matters, and
| it is therefore our duty to resist the
unwise demands of the people as
physician would resist the use of in
furious drugs, although demanded by
his patient l know that the congress
siOnal machine is geared to run slow
ly, and that for the best of reasons.
The 10000 or more bills now pending
in congress present hundreds of thou
sands of questions. Many of these
questions cannot be answered in the
affirmative; many of them ought not
to be answered at all. The people I'M
derstand this just as we'll as we do
They know that congress is a mill to
which chaff is brought in much larg
er quantities than grain, but they ex-
pect us to return to them the best
that is possible under the circum-
stances. They do not want the mill
TO stop on account of the chaff. 1t is
therefore my opinion that when a
measure of great public interest has
been carefully considered by a com
mittee and reported back to this body
with the recommendation that the
measure be favorably acted upon, it
should be acted upon within a reason
able time Geo. P. Mclean, L. s..
Senator from Connecticut.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

rvperts declare that the reason
.,omach disorders are so common in
ans country is due to hasty and
csreless habits of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually 20 together
John Lind, of Oneonta, n. Y, says:
Of have been troubled with a bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became so weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor, and it seemed impos-
sible TO get any relief. Since taking
Two bottles of VinOl | find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because 1t strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves Of the digestive organs. Vinol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of Vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned if it does not help you.

PROGRESSIVE"

1t was Solomon, we believe, who
said that there lis nothing new under
the sun"
Now comes the doughty Tom Wat
son and says that all this "brag and
buster" about progressiveism" is
just a whipping over of the "Ocala
platform" of the populists.
Mr.. Watson himself claims to be
the author of the free rural deliv-
cry"
In the Jeffersonian of January 18th,
Editor Watson, in an editorial on the
retirement of Senator Bailey, says:
1T has, at times, been rough voyag-
ing with me, but rejoice that there is
no apostacy from principles for which
/ have to apologize and make futile
defense.
eve old pops were the first to
clamor for the direct election of Unit
ed States senators.
in nearly all the states that re-
form is now in operation in one shape
or another.
1--WE were the first to clamor for
postal savings banks; We have got
them.
I've were the first to demand the
parcel post; it is now in operation.
1--WE were the first to denounce the
convict lease system; in nearly every
state it has been abolished
Il glory in the spunk of the govern
or Of Arkansas, who. when he had
vainly endeavored to have the legisla-
ture release itself from the corrupt
domination of the convict lessees,
took the bull by the horns and par
doned every convict that the lessees
had bought
I'VE old pops were the first who
demanded the direct election of the
president in primaries where every
qualified voter could express his own
choice.
nat I0lOl III - ION III OpGI dtiOAi
They tried to laugh us old pops
off the face of the earth, because we
proposed that a system of govern
mental credits be established for the
benefit of our farmers.
I'VE now find that the platforms
and the leaders of all political parties
have at length committed themselves
to that principle.
1--WE old pops demanded that the
government create all of its money,
instead of allowing the national bank
to exercise that sovereign function of
government.
I'VE now find that one of the great
parties that will bid for the support of
the people, henceforth, has put that
demand in its platform, and such
powerful men as Theodore Roosevelt,
Albert ]. Beveridge, Oscar Strauss,
Governor Johnson of California, and
hundreds of others, are to do battle
I, for it.
Therefore, as the retirement OF
Bailey brings back to mind the scenes
and the struggles of the past, l find
much to compensate us old pops who
remain steadfast to our convictions
through all the stress and the storm
of social and political persecution.
Time has indicated us, and pos
terity will do us Justice"

GEORGE G. MATHEWS FOR CON-
SUI GENERAL

The Florida press is practically
unanimous in endorsing Editor Geo.
G.. Mathews of the Fort Lauderdale
Sentinel, for appointment to the post
of consul general at Rio janeiro, Bra
I'll. under the Wilson administration.
Mr.. Mathews is peculiarly well fitted
for the position, as he resided for
many years in that country, was for
a long time connected with the con
sullate at Para, and is thoroughly IA
miliar with the language, institutions
and history of the country. He is
withal a man of fine intelligence and
courtly bearing and would fill the po-
sition with honor to himself and
credit to his country Barlow Cou-
rier-Informant.
Progressive democrats OF Florida
should unite as one man in endorsing
the application of Hon. George G.
Mathews of the Fort Lauderdale Sen
tinel for the office of consul general
to Brazil. MIR. Mathews served in the
consular service in that country under
the Cleveland administration and is
well versed in the duties required.
He also speaks the Portuguese Ian
guage fluently. Mr.. Mathews has long
been a leader in the progressive move
ment of the democracy of Florida, is
a fine gentleman and scholar, and the
office is suited to his taste. Let's help
him get it.-Palatka News.
The above is about what the Me
tropolis has been saying from time
to time. only qualifying the hope that
Mr.. Mathews may receive the appoint
ment to Brazil with an expression of
regret that Florida should thus lose a
man of his caliber from his citiZenry
and the press fraternity be deprived
Of the strength of his fine service,
when crucial moments come.
Mr. Mathews is eminently qualified
for the office he is seeking; Florida
would be honored by his appointment
md the interests of the United States
in Brazil be ably safeguarded. 1t is
an occasion, most assuredly, when the
newspapers of the state should come
.ogether in strong endorsement of his
candidacy.-Miami Metropolis.

The upshot Of the meeting was that

Senators on the committee said this
afternoon that Mr.. Bryan's plan was
not an arbitration plan in a strict sense.
II would simply provide that when two

an investigation should be held by an
international tribunal This would re-

give the nations involved a chance to
cool of. The nations in the controversy
would pledge themselves under the
proposed treaty arrangements not to
increase armaments while the investi-
