The following is a copy Of a
letter sent to Washington as an
open letter on the Panama Canal
toll question. 1t was written
pursuant to the suggestion in The
Sunday American.
Ny Dear Senator and Congress
man:
Honesty is the oak around
which all virtues cling"
It seems that the political up
heaval which is taking place in
our Congressional chambers bids
fair to disrupt our Democratic
unity The thorn that seems TO
rankle in the side Of our organi-
cation Is the Panama tolls ques-
ton But not alone that so much
as the question of political IN
tegrity
It is my opinion that where a
party has formed a platform and
the leaders Of # have pledged
themselves to sustain It, it is
nothing less than treason for
them to repudiate the planks OF
that platform after they have OBJ
tained power, and such power
having been obtained because Of
the pre- election pledges made TO
their constituents.
Is It possible that leader Of
the people, who, having avowed
especially TO sustain the plank
covering the question under fire,
can divorce himself from all his
promises in the eleventh hour
without receiving or expecting TO
receive a rebuke from his con-
stttuency? And, not being salts
fed there, can he 60 further and
intimidate the noblest and great
est lawmaking body in the world
into following his biddings, mat
tering not what they be? Are
they, like the Senegambians Of
old to. be scourged into submits
sion by the iron hand and under
the leaden whip or their master7
I did not know that this was tho
form Of government under which
we proclaimed our freedom. and
am not yet willing to admit that
II is so

tv should discharge its ohisa-
ton and that promise can not

phatic enough TO take the place
Of fulfllment; that every pledge
Of every statesman should be full
filed, and II they are not, he has
fallen short Of his duties to his
people; that the reputation of a
promise made to obtain power,
after power has been obtained,
is both disgrace to the individual
that utters It and the party that
fosters 1t; that the Panama Ca
nal tolls question was irrevocably
settled by the constituency when
they viewing the Democratic
platform, placed Democracy in
power; and, believing in the gov
eminent Of the people, by the peo-
pie, and for the people, I wish to

method of political trtckery that

and there the children sang their many
songs Songs abont Christmas and
Santa, and the beautiful Grade HYMN
by Martin Luther. Then followed
lively game called driving the rein
DEER and Santa had arrived. The
gifts made possible by friends were ar
ranged on the little tables; toy, a
book and pretty card from which
each child might choose. Two or three
at time they came and looked at the
array. The choice of many was puz-
cling. A boy would select a set of
doIl's dishes or a box of clothes pins,
while the drum that one would sup
pose dear to the heart of small boy
would be taken by a girl. But there
was perfect good will in it all, not
word of dissension. One of the mer-
chants very generously gave sleds to
the children who had none.
1t was happy morning for every
one, and all those who helped in any
way may feel that they have a share
in the children's Christmas joy-and
it is the children who most truly eel
citrate the Christ-childl Is birthday.
