1T ISN'T YOUR TOWN-IT'S YOU.
If you want to live in the kind Of a
town
That's the kind of town you like,
You needn't sliD you clothes in a grip
And start on long, long hike
You'll find elsewhere what you left
behind,
For there's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town;
1t isn't your tOwn-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead;
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And If while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see;
1t isn't your town-it's you.

SPEAkING OF MINORITIEs.

q ENATOR OSCAR UNDERWOOD. OF Alabama ia
~ about to don his toga.
Already he is bursting with great ideas regarding
the Senate
He Is strong for cOture-a polite French term which
by Interpretation means gag rule" Mr. Underwood
is accustomed to applying the gag rule having learned
to do so when he foreman of the Congressional
that did Woodrow Wilson's bidding at the capitol
His argument for transferring this instrument Of DO
litica oppression TO the Senatewhere from the begin
ming free speech has ruled and has greatly benefited
the country-s that tho Senate is distinctly a mi
nority body, 1t does represent majority OF the
people Of the country"
Senators are elected by States II Mr. Underwood
was thinking Of himself and Of his State. ne is
solutely correct For he not represent anything
like majority OF the people Of Alabama
Mr. Underwood was elected to the Senate in 1914
BY the census OF 1910, Alabama had 21SsO9s inhabi-
tants, who certainly had not diminished in number
four years later. Yet Mr.. Underwood, when elected
Senator received only 633S9 votes His Republican op-
ponent had 1890; Progressive candidate had A..
263i a Socialist got 1159; there we're scattering

votes out Of a population Of 2224771.
In other words while there were only s6Ss2 more
population in Iowa than in Alabama, there 345969
more votes cast II Alabama had voted as freely as
Iowa did, there would have been 41O461 ballots cast
instead OF the beggarly s1l89.
