tence deep rivers move with silent
majesty, while small brooks are
noisy"
My experience and observation has
taught me that this is comparative
ly true of man. There are a few
small silent streams, there are lots
of men of small mental calibers who
remarkably fortunate, indeed, are
conscious of their intellectual infe-
riority. We see evidence of this per-
haps almost daily. The requisite
qualifications of Legislator does
not consist alone in intellectual
grandeur, this however, is the lead
ing and greatest requisite A chosen
representative should always be a
vindication of the intelligence of the
electorate. There is in all probabili-
ty rare exceptions to this apothegm
1t is highly probable that if we all
limited the noise we make to the ex-
tent of our general information we
could not justly be charged with at
least being disturbers of the public
peace.
The. second essential qualification
is discreetness, and the third is the
ability to discuss all questions upon
the hustings or in legislative bodies
dispassionately.
In all my cursory and nomadic ex-
perience the best place to study men
is in Washington when Congress is
in session, it is graphically and in
tensely eXhilerating, to watch them
from the gallery. A Congressman is
considered here in Washington by
the casual observer as a fair index
to the general intelligence of the Dis
trict he represents. Many are the

MRS. BEAUCHAMP SAYS
LAW is NOT ENFORCED
Declares That Two Places, Almost
Same as Open Saloons Are
Operated in Lincoln.

Mrs. Frances E. Beauchamp, of
Lexington, State President of the
WOman's Christian Temperance I'm

ments to the people of Lincoln
county about conditions here in two
addresses which she made at Stan

asserted point blank that two places
which she styled as almost the same
as open saloons, were running In
Lincoln comfy, in defiance of the
law One she said was at MOreland
and she said that the other was at
Crab Orchard She asked why no
action was taken against them by
the officers of the law, who had
sworn to enforce it, and who, she
said, was not doing 50.
Mrs. Beauchamp said that she
had just spent few days at More
land herself. and it had not taken
her long to learn OF conditions there
and at other points in the county.
She declared that the temperance
people Of Lincoln county had gone to
sleep on the job. She advised them
to see to 1t that In the future they
do not divide their vote, which Is
greatly in the majority in this eoun-
ty, between several candidates, but
to stand firm for one man for each
office who they know viii enforce the
