SERVICE RATHER THAN
PRESENCE IS TEST OF
TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP
Rep. Barnhart Objects to Being
Fined for Attending to Bust
ness Instead of Answering
"FooI Roll Calls"

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-For some
days there has been mucn agitation in
congress over the sensational move
ment TO fine members who are absent
and there have been frey speeches
both pro and con. Today Rep. Barn
hart asked unanimous consent TO give
his views on the matter, and handled
his subject to the approval OF all but
the grandstand contingent He said:
Much FOolery i'm House.
"Habitual neglect Of duty by any
public officer whom the people have
entrusted with their business Is a
crime in fact if not in law. This is
just as true OF members Of congress
as OF any other public officials But
does occasional absenteeism from the
house during long sessions of congress
like we have had continuously for
several years necessarily constitute
neglect of duty? Is the worth of a
member of congress to be estimated
by the number Of times he answers
roll calls, whether they be important
votes or political horse play? I think
not. A member of congress has other
duties TO perform beside sitting in the
house listening to long winded speech
es and political jockeying IF he be
a working member he is on some i'm
pOrtant committee that has frequent
meetings to give hearings on proposed
legislation or TO investigate alleged
abuses of the public. And If his COM
mittee is in important session and
some member in the house makes a
point Of order that there is not a
quorum - 21S members - present.
there is a roll call. The busy mem
Der hears that the call is merely for a
quorum and goes right on with his
work and the record shows him alb
sent. The member with little or moth
ing to do answers the roll call and
thus the record credits him present.
The member actually at more import
ant work than answering present is
thereby condemned by the record for
absenteeism while the one with moth
ing TO do but sit in the house is glOri-
fed by the record showing him an
swering all roll calls. Therefore
submit that always answering pres
ent' is not the royal diadem Of useful
craftsmanship.
"A live congressman has an enOr-
nous amount Of correspondence 10
read and answer in his office and a
thousand and one trips to departments
In behalf of the needs of his district.
In this way he serves his constituents
who can write him. But those who
are not ready letter writer's and who
congressman must get no personal
consideration from the man who rep
resents them.
Not Safe Criterion.

the home coming: Thomas II. Bran

These gentlemen are all of South Bend

had considerable experience in the art
OF window dressing and their respect
i've establishments IN South Bend have

window displays.
The judges will meet at The News

Tuesday evening and the judging will
commence promptly at o'clock.
when the footing Of all the factory
whistles will be the signal for tho
blinds OF the competing stores to be
raised.
Great efforts are being put forth by
the competitors 20 do themselves
proud" on this occasion, and that their

Editor News-Times:-
I notice with much interest what
The News-Times has TO say of a corn
cOntezt IN Mishawaka next year. This
cosid be made a home coming with
many delightful features instead of
the home coming" Of last year (and
perhaps this) with the side features
of gambling, fancy stunts, and other
side issues. which make an old Mish-
awaken blush with shame, that our
beautiful city has fallen to street
fakirs for amusement.
How much more enjoyable and
with what pleasure It would be
viewed, could these former residents
Of Mishawaka come home and see the
prosperity and advancement of home
and country, as evidenced by a dis
play OF the natural products of the
soil and shop.
This would also mean encourage
ment TO the boys and girls in premi-
ums worth working for. II would !
mean a donation for a cheap l
show in filthy tent on the mai
streets
AS a starter for a corn show, or
ratner an exhibit OF corn and Otner
grains, fruits and vegetables to be
displayed the fall of 1915, the Per
kins Wind Mill Co. will donate pre-
miums in their manufacture of wind
mills. engines. feed grinders, etc. to
the amount of $3.50. Every merchant
and factory will be glad to do some
thing that will encourage boys and
girls IN raising the standard of pro-
duction on the farm.
From conversation with merchants,
the. writer finds that they are
ashamed OF the street fair before IT
begins. Let the Business Mems assO-
citation try something different next
year.

MIDNIGHT SPEEDERS

Frank 8. Dinnick. a councilman of
Bremen, Ind, TO a fine Of $11.05 for
speeding.
III company with four other Bre-
menites. the city father was taking a
spin In his five passenger car. They
were bound from Bremen to South
Bend via Osceola, and had had little
awaited them at the latter burg. They
were rushing through the little town
at the rate OF so miles an hour, when
the lynX-eyed marshal. NJ. ]. Pancake,
on his hOmeward bound trip, spotted"
the party. Notwithstanding the clouds
of dust they were leaving in their
trail he caught their number and
reused the telephone operator out of a
warm bed, got a connection with the
NIishawaka police station. and the
local boobies did the rest. They
met the speed party as they got into
the city. stopped the car, and took the
quintet to police headquarters. The
Judge was routed from bed, and in a
few minutes court was in session. The
owner OF the car. the aforesaid coun-
Gilman, who was in the rear seat dur
ing the trip. pleaded guilty and paid
the fine. He afterwards rendered the
marshal Of Osceola a dollar bill for
his kindness in reporting the case to
the Mishawaka fellows. The dollar
was declined with effusive thanks
Pancake. IL should be stated, came

find coming this way.

AS Cold as Ever.

Persons frequently remark, The
winters are not so cold as they
once were" This may be true to
some extent. but is it not TIE diff
ference more in the conditions
than in the weather? Sixty years
ago few persons thought of ceiling
or plastering an upstairs room.
Every member of the family could
be tracked to and from his bed in
the snow that would blow under the
lap shingles and through the cracks.
In those days there were no such
things as felt boots, overShoes or
even rubbers. Leather boots Of the
coarSest character were worn and
would freeze as hard as a bullet
while on your feet. There was no
such thing as good wooden under
wear, although the pastures we're
covered with sheep. A furnace for
hard or soft coal was not then made
use of in the middle west and farm
ers were made to understand that
there was more economy in burn
ing green wood and for that reason
but little heat radiated from the old
fire place and what warmth there
was went up the big chimney.
Horse blankets were also unknown
and for hours the poor animals
would stand Shivering at the rack
around the country church while
the owner was praying at the altar
for fresh supply of holy spirit.
Children would travel a mile and a
half through through the drift to
the old school house and the boy
who would pass a winter without a
frozen toe, heel, ear or nose was
denominated a tough. Today the
father will either hitch up his team
and place ID footwarmer in the
buggy or send his children in
township conveyance which is as
comfortable as a pullman palace
car. After all is it not our i'm
proved conditions that have had
something to do with the cold
and mild winters? -LaBelle Star.

COUGH TWO YEARS old
Yields to Vinol. Read Why.

Strong vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the .-"stem is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold.
Now isn't 1t reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your run down condition again?
Mrs. D. A. MCGEE of Waycross, Ga.
says: Il had a chronic cold and cough
which kept me awake nights for two
years and felt tired all the time.
Vinol cured my cough and 1 feel
stronger in every way"
The reason Vinol Ia SO eff1cacious
in such cases Is because it contains
in q delicious concentrated form all
the medicinal curative elements Of
cod liver oil, with tonic, blood build
ing iron added.
r. Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Vinol because It builds up the weak
ened, rundown system.
You can get your money back any
time II Vinol does not do all we say.
