placed ahead of the good Of the coun-
try. The true legislator will always
give his country first consideration.
When a legislator has been found who
does his full duty to the people whose
servant he is, the people should in
turn give him their united backing
and support. That is one Of the duties
the people owe to Congress. They
should also study public questions
that they may be able to vote intelli-
!, gently. Mr.. Lenroot called attention
to the growing influence of woman in
governmental affair, and that the
shaping Of the future Of the republic
j is largely in her hands. He closed
with a beautiful tribute to the flag
and all that it represents. Mr.. Len
root amply demonstrated his power
as a clear and forceful public speaker
and as a statesman his public record
is in perfect harmony with the high
/ ideals he expressed.

the man.. Idleness, indifference and
inattention to the great moral, social
and industrial questions Of the day
are a menace to the republic. Eff
lciency is the shibboleth of success.
One who would hold the higher posi-
tions in life must be able to do the
work. We should learn to think hard,
love good books, have enthusiasm and
be men and women with a vision.
