in directly against ourown interests.


 A few of our more aggressive people write a mild and guarded protest to Senator or Congress- man Blank, but they are so few as to be without weight or effect. The senator or congressman hears of no widespread opposition in his district and yeilds to the powerful pressure from other sources in behalf of the bill. He votes for it. Other congress- men and senators do the same, and the bill becomes a law, and we pay the penalty of our in- difference.
 On the other hand, suppose the people of the district took the bit between their teeth, wrote in large numbers to the senators and congressman and gave them plainly to understand that their constituents were op- posed to such a bill, and that they were expected to cast their votes in the interest of the peo- pie who placed them in office, irrespective of all pressure from other sources. Would tn ev, under such condition, support an obnoxious measure? Not in a thousand years, for they would know that such action would m can t heir prompt political death.
 When the people do become aroused and speak in decided terms every congressman and senator glues both ears to the ground and holds them there with bated breath.
 Now isn't 1916 a good year in which to chapre the old order of procedure? Isn't the time op- perfume for the people to assert their rights and prerogatives, become the masters, and insist upon 9 strict compliance with their will? Isn't it about time to give senators and congress- men of every degree to under stand that they are servants and not gods?
 Isn't it about time for the people of this district to tell our represenatiY } in congress just what we of the district wanS and that it is up to them to get it or make room for others who can and will? In any event, isn't it about time for us to insist that they vote as we say and not as they think?
 Collectively the people are all powerful and their will can not be resisted, but individually they have about as much weight as a feather that is blown before the wind.
 We are not writing this in a spirit of criticism of our repre- sentatives in congress for we believe if they are given to un- derstand the nature of our de- mands they will be cheerfully compiled with.
 But we do hope that these few words may induce at least a reasonable number of our people to communicate directly with our senators and congressman whenever a measure is before the national body that is of vital interest to our section of the state or nation.

Lo! The dear little spot so silent and
sad,
The features of life once exceedingly

Inveterate sorrows on Lockerbie

With it's sweet haunted raptures long
hidden away,
With it's visions immortal and shad.

Is yearning to meet in the silence with

The signs that he painted are there on

And the lines he has written-the

Shall live his days over and over
again.
