in other ways hundreds of thousands of dollars without
let hindrance and later compel the landowners on
government reclamation projects to make restitution to
the reclamation fund? Is the Reclamation Service
sponsible and least OF all to those who must
ultimately pay the bls Have the settlers govern

WHY NOT NATIONALIST THE CONGRESS,

Criticism of Congress often takes the form that Con-
is not national in its viewpoint How 1t could be
national is not explained The members Of Congress arc
men of importance in their home community They
achieve membership Congress by the fact that
they understand local condtens and retain it because
they responsive to local sentment and secure bene
fits for local constituencies Home affairs have always
been of prime importance
it be desirable that Congress look at every issue from
the standpoint of the nation great changes must be made
in the methods of elecng the membership. Take away
the state citizenship qualification of members and you can
fill Congress with who will consider every issue of
government from national standpoint that is provided
the constituencies will insist upon being by
home grown statesmen If it became the practice for
men OF statesmanke qualities represent other constit-
uences than those which they belong by residence the
naturalization of Congress will Immediately take place
This do in the election of the members of the British
House of Commons. 1t might also do away with great
deal OF pork legislation, which is desirable undesir-
able according to the of pork" that can
ably be expected by the interested.
The Congress fairly responsive public clamor and
that is all that expected Of it. This government was not
planned with the idea of efficiency and it has thus far
provided reasonable degree of safety liberty and
perty for the person. may be said to be
cessul government We would worry much about the
local viewpoint of Congress- In due time occasion re-
quire, Congress will expand to expectations.

This plant will probably be located in the south as

good thing to manufacture all need? And if for the

THOSE OCEAN Joy RIDERS. /"
What Sort of American Citizens Are
Patronizing Belligerents' Ships.
Springfield Republican,

(Sprlngneld KepubIican.)
In the recent congressional debates
on the warning resolutions, the un-
popularity of Americans who travelled
at sea on belligerent merchantmen
was very noticeable. Certain West
ern senators and representatives were
disposed to denounce them as wealthy
idlers selfishly travelling into danger
ours places for mere pleasure. Mr..
Mann of Chicago politely called them
ocean JOY riders; his rage and con-
tempt for such people was indeed I'M
pressive.
NIn the year 1915 fully 100000 per-
sons crossed the Atlantic ocean as
passengers between American and
European ports. according to the
United States Bureau of Navigation.
Among them were thousands of
Americans. Only $4,000 of the total
travelled first class; 10000 went in
the Storage. Of the 10000 steerage
passengers, how many were selfish
pleasure seekers and reckless Joy
riders? 1t is not customary for per-
sons of means to travel in the steer
age for the mere pleasure OF an ocean
voyage.
Two hundred and fifty thousand
passengers travelled on the ships of
belligerents, but of that number Brit
ish ships carried only $4,000. and
French ships only $4,000 The larg-
rest number, $4,000, travelled on the
Italian ships; and on the Italian ships
the steerage is always we'll patroniz-
ed. When the Ancona was sunk, the
list of Americans lost did no. contain
any OF the wantonly rich pleasure
seeking class SO severely condemned
in Congress by the Cores, the Manns
and the McLemores. They were the
women and children, in large part, of
naturalized Americans of Italian origin
and. in coming to America, they, ma
turally travelled on the ships Of belli-
gerents inasmuch as no American lin
ers run between the United States and
the Italian ports.
The Atlantic Ocean is a vast high
way which is under the sovereignty
of no nation, and every year in peace
times hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie travel across it for ieasors which
are good and sufficient. In war time
even, as the record of 1915 discloses,
it is impossible to seal up tie ocean
as highway to the civilian popula-
ton of the world. Both business and
necessity impel many to use it in
these perilous days as we'll as in days
of profound pence.
1t is unfortunate for the United
States as a neutral that it cannot Of
fer passenger Accommodations to all
its own citizens on ships sailing un-
der the American flag, whatever may
be their destination; and where no
American ships are available the ships
of other neutrals should be sought in
order that dangerous CONF LEGATIONS
may be avoided. But persons who
have legitimate or pressing reasons
for ocean travel need not be deuounc-
ed and berated for utilizing what may
be the only Accommodations to be
found.
