LITTLE MEN IN n1a JOBS.

One of the great criticisms of the American Government Is that political offices are too frequent ly filled by inferior men. whose character and capacity do not properly fit them for the busi- ness of passing just and wise laws These men creep into Congress and the State Legisla- lures by playing to the gallery for votes and popularity, and in- stead of helping to pass good laws for the greatest good of the greatest number of people, seek merely to advance their personal power and prestige by advocat- ing laws that Ignore fundamental principles of business and are economically unsound and de- structiVe in their effect on every
 body. Class legislation Is given in return for political debts, and
 special laws are urged favoring political hcnchmen or pork bar rel" contractors at home. Such men may gain some temporary advantage but are always dis covered and eventually retired. Those who have made long, hon orable records in public life were above this type.
 Economic conditions a d ] II g { themselves under most any kind of laws and in the long run, the order of things is bound to equalize In some form of a square deal. Class Legislation always re- acts on the people who are sup posed to benefit by it.
 What we need in our leglsla- tive halls is a class of men who do not seek to advance special interests or who do not seek too much personal prestige. men who are level headed honest and unprejudiced on any social, polit- ical or economic question, famil- far with the fundamental princi- ples of business and industry and are willing to work for favors toward none and square deal for all.

cause her cause was just. He pre-
dicted that Americans would come to

he believed, would not permit herself
to take sides against Germany.
