public thinking and public OPINION,
and leave the whole determination
of public questions to the admins
tration?
No one would consent to that,
yet it seems sometimes that some
men favor that every thing. Ger
tain it is that their argument leads
in that direction.
This is a republic. 1t is a repub-
lie because we have representative
government, not administrative gov
eminent by an individual. When
we have the latter we shall have
monarchy and a king.
Every citizen of this government,
high or low, has a perfect title to
his opinion on public questions.
His opinion, we admit, may very
properly be influenced by t he
opinion of another man on the same
subject, but we deny that any mans
opinion should be absolutely deter
mined by the opinion of another.
The Record believes in individual
ity. 1t always has. Free thinking
and free expression on public mat
ters are inalienable rights. 1t cost
blood to get them. 1t would cost
more to take them away.
No man is to be humiliated, when
after an investigation of his own,
he is able to stand up and say of
any public matter: This is MY
opinion"
1t would be humiliating to many
people to have to admit that their
opinions are merely the opinions
previously formed by others.
The humblest citizen of Sharp
county, should he see President Will
son tomorrow and if he cared to do
so, could with all propriety say to
him: Mr.. President, | differ from
you on the Alaskan bill. believe
the South needs good roads and
many other things much worse than
a railroad in Alaska. In my opin-
ion the passage of that bill was a
mistake, and if had been in cong
ress | could not have supported the
measure"
Woodrow Wilson, President Of the
United States, the man who has
done much to bring this government
close to the people, would not object
to that from an individual citizen.
The fact that he is an independent
man himself gives reason for the
belief that he admires that spirit of
independence in members Of cong
ress, who are sent to Washington to
serve the sections from which they
60; not to act as poll parrots for any
man.
We honor those congressman who
did say something like that to the
president,
They have what is known in
everyday parlance as backbone.
They think for themselves.

INDIVIDUALITY


article need not be applied to any
political race now pending before
the people. Again, at the pleasure
of the reader, it may be.
The fact alone that the usual de-
fense one hears for the passage of
the Alaskan railroad bill by congress
is that the measure was advocated
by the administration prompts
what is here said.
The Record favored Woodrow
Wilson for president when other
newspapers of this section of the
state were threatening calamitous
things if he were nominated, and
when, no doubt, a large majority OF
voters in this part of Arkansas
Greatly desired the nomination of
the candidate from Missouri.
Woodrow Wilson is a great man,
a great president; one who shows
himself absolutely independent and
entirely frank. That is the general
impression of him now. His ad-
ministration is democratic one in
the truest sense Of the term.
But President Wilson, after all, is
Just a man, and the congressional
representation in Arkansas, with
one exception, a n d the united
representation from other Southern
states, which voted against the
passage of the Alaskan bill, so con-
sidered the matter when they cast
their votes on that proposition. At
the time, however, they no doubt
had the greatest admiration for the
president.
1t can be safely contended that
those members of congress know
better what the South needs than
does President Wilson. They are
Southern men. They live in the
South. President. Wilson, while a
Southerner by birth, has been away
so long that tits fair to assume he
has forgotten much of the true con-
dition of the land of his birth.
1t will not be contended that
President Wilson is not friend Of
the South, but, seriously, we are not
willing to say that he is a better
friend to the South than the South
ern congressman and that he will
be as watchful Of the South's inter-
ests as will they, who have a more
thorough understanding of this sec
ton of the country and whose busi-
ness it is to look after the interests OF
the South especially.
Anyhow, let us boil down to the
last analysis the idea that members
of congress must vote for all bills
favored by the administration,
First, let us admit that on all
matters of established democratic
doctrine they should do so. Not
every matter that arises in any leg
islative body can be settled by the
rule of established doctrine, One
that cannot must be determined by
an individual opinion, which should
be formed from personal investi-
eation of ever available merit and
demerit of the proposition.
If a member of congress must
support the administration in its
ideas on all matters that arise, then
why not abolish congress, save
the salaries of congressman, and
leave the conduct of the government
to the administration
Next, abolish public discussion,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April "a -
Having given the majority Of the
teams of the American, National
and Federal leagues the once and
twice over, it strikes me that TINS
spring has been surprisingly pro-
ductive of new material in base
ball.
America has been raked as

mean fellows of extraordinary
promise; fellows who will, bar
ring accidents, develop into great
players. There always are a
number good enough to hold
their Jobs, but what is most need
ed are men of the type to develop
into Wagners and Speakers, Cobbs
and Mathewsons in a few years.
The best youngster OF the
spring, l think, is Karl Won Kol-
nitz, the young catcher picked up
by Charlie Herzog of the Reds.
Herzog has sprung new idea.
He also has a corking man. in

training camp symptoms.
Collins. with the Boston Ma
tionals, would be my second
choice of young stars. This fell
