at which the bill was put into final
shape. lie worked among his col

IL that AL objection 10 the large APP
preparation, which originally was on
" $3.U0U,00Q, was overcome.
\ clause in the bill is so wOEdcd
that il carr es compensation not only
for the land. but for ali incidental

At the same time il provides that
the President may take over the

of the value of lands to those own

1t is evidently the determination
of the government to take over the

additional land on Halls Crossing as
it may need.
Representative Talbot, represent

ton OF Hartford county farmers, hea-
ded by Messrs. Boyer and Hall. They
said they called TO see Mr.. Hoover,

to protest against having their lands
taken over. The committee, how
ever. had completed its session, and
Mr.. Talbot arranged with Secretary
of War Baker for a hearing tomor-

The delegation also called upon
Representative Linthicum, but he
said that he could not oppose the

gested it to General Crozier some

Senator Martin expects to call up

president, at the forty-third annual
convention, which opened today.
Mr.. GoebeI proceeded to get so
practical that many bankers-i6Qked
anxiously TO see if there were any
walters or bell hops in sight. He
said:
The bane of America, especially
in wartime, is waste. l propose that
we bankers start now to try to check
waste. Do not order any more food
at the tables of this hotel than you
really need. Keep down expenses.
Don't spend money for mere ostenta-
ton.
Bankers must avoid arousing dis
satisfaction in these times. Let us
be true TO our convictions and not
make it possible for anyone to say
of American bankers that they profit
ed by the war"

GOOD GOVERNMENT.
The People Themselves Are to Blame
if They Do Not Have 1t.

u tHSJ w wv tioNS IL
The story is told that at the time
Massachusetts was considering the
ratification of the federal constitu-
ton Samuel Adams, the noble pioneer
of American independence, was waver-
ing In his support. The mechanics and
workingmen of Boston called a meet
ing at the old Green Dragon tavern
and passed resolutions earnestly urg-
ing that the constitution be ratified
and adopted. Those resolutions they
put into the hands Of brass founder
to be delivered to Mr.. Adams.
How many were present when
these resolutions were adopted" ask
ed Adams.
More, sir. than the Green Dragon
would hold" said the sturdy mechanic.
And where We're the restT
"In the street" replied the brass
founder.
That casts significant side light on
that crucial period when we were en-
gagged in the task Of bringing strength
out of feebleness and order out OF
chaos by establishing a national gov
eminent: What could be more inter-
esting than to see the mechanics OF
Boston solemnly considering and dis
GUESSING the most remarkable docu-
ment, as it has been called, that any
body of men ever put forth? The
same serious and constant conSidera-
ton of matters of public concern by
the same class Of people is essential
to every hour of the existence Of the
government.
1t is time that the responsibility for
bad men in Office, for invisible gov
eminent" for venal and corrupt prac-
tees In public servants, be put upon
those whose neglect of duty enables
evil influences to control the election.
The better element is always in the
majority in every community and can
always control the situation If 1t de-
sires to do 50. When things get fnsup-
portably bad and the people are thor
oughiy aroused, how quickly are de-
sirable changes brought about But
when the people seem to have disposed
of the particular condition that thus
arouses them they fall back into a
state of Indifference and let the SIMS
ter influences have the field again.
Truly. eternal vigilance is the price
of good government We cannot find
or enjoy it through any other means.

brave men and women, ever and al
