CONGRESSMAN CARLIN

Nearly nineteen hundred years ago
the Great Teacher went down 70
Nazareth where he had been brought
I'M and entered synagogue on the
Sabbath day and spoke. The place
was filed with His acquaintance, and
as He began to talk He uttered words
Z which have come down the ages. in
the beginning he proclaimed a great
truth-"no prophet is accepted IN his
own country"
It was so before the Son OF Man
tabernacled with men. 1t is so now
unfortunately, with some very few,
however, and it is lamentable that
corporal's guard in Alexandria is
inimical to the Hon. c. c. Carlin, the
present representative in Congress,
who is native and to the manner born.
Without saying anything deroga-
tory of his would-be successors, we
earnestly ask the question, What has
he done or left undone which can IN
any way act detrimentally to the dis
Y
trict he has long represented?
Every man has an undoubted right
to his political opinions, and he has an
eeoual right to select men for whom
he will vote, but the great mass OF
suffragans in Virginia have expressed
the wish that we let our present
Congressman alone, ard ut this great
crisis in the nations history the pres
ent able representatives from the Old
Dominion should succeed themselves.
Many reasons could be adduced to
show why this course should be FOL
lowed in the Eighth district.
The few in this district who wouli
set him aside at this most inoppor
tune time have searched diligently
for an issue, and have fallen back
upon that most obsolete contention
of the city VS.. the farmer. Our pres
ent representative has faithfully rep
resented both, and to suppose any
successor, unknown and inexperienced
as he would necessarily be. could in
any way augment the interests of
either is but dream.
The suggestion, "Comc let US rea-
son together" was uttered in the pro-
phetic age. 1t is opportme now. We
hope that the disgruntled class to
which we refer may be found clothed
and in their right minds next month.
! at which time the primary election will
be held

BILLING is BUSTED
Belligerent Member Of Parliament
Elected From House and Suspended
for Session.
Y. Y. Y.

London, July 2.-Another storm 0!
excitement was created in the House
Of Commons late yesterday by that
bclligerent member, Noel Pemberton
Billing. In the midst of calm and
orderly session, Billing suddenly
brought up the question of internment
OF alien enemies in Great Britain and
insisted that the matter should be de-
bated forthwith. He ignored several
calls to order. Finally the Speaker
ordered him to leave the house, charg-
ing him with disorderly conduct. Bill
ng refused. The Speaker reiterated
the order. Billing refused again. His
patience exhausted, the Speaker COM
manded that the order be enforced.
Four burly attendants descended
upon Billing, who continued to shout
his protests. One attendant seized
him by the collar. another by the
right arm and a third by the let
arm; fourth got ready to take Bill
ing's legs to carry him out bodily.
Billing fought desperately, but was
finally overpowered and elected.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Bonar
Law thereupon moved Billings sus-
pension until the end of the present
session. The motion was carried.

Editor Gazette:

The action Of the directors of the
Alexandria Water Company in having
an analysis OF the water made weekly
for the protection of their patrons,
and kept on file, is truly commend
able. l would suggest, however, as
a further evidence, that they have a
copy published in The Gazette that
their patrons may Judge for them
selves whether the water is unsafe for
drinking purposes.

ARE MAKING DEMANDS
German Socialists Adept Radical Pro
gram as the First Step.

Washington, D. c., July New
demands, which would put the German
people in direct control of their gov
eminent, have been made by social
lists there in radical program re-
Gently adopted, according to Informal
ton in official quarters here. The
right of the reichstag to decide upon
appointment and dismissal Of the
chancellor and ministers and to de-
eide upon war and peace and to make
treaties, is demanded. Establish
ment O. international courts of arbi-
tration, international disarmament and
abolition Of secret diplomacy are ask
ed. A detailed program for rebuild
ing the economic and financial struc-
ture Of Germany to give the working
classes a greater voice in these mat
tiers is included
This new platform is the first step
in a fight for characterization in Ger
many to be waged by the social-dem-
ocratic party. Broad measures are
included to draw support from all OPP
ponents of the Pan-GeImans. De-
mands are made for the abolition o.
the present voting system and for
giving every man and woman the Sc
cret ballot.

THE LINES BUSY

Newspaper men, who are compelled
to make every minute tell, may be
regarded as hypocritical in their
Judgment of others, but knights OF
the quill, generally acting upon the
words multum in parvo-much IN lit
tle-are often rendered impatient
when they stop in the middle Of an
article to make a call upon the tele-
phone lest they forget some important
matter to hear still small voce in
the central Office utter the words at
the head OF this article. The busy
editor or reporter is naturally disap-
pointed, and, after waiting long
enough for any ordinary subject to
become exhausted he makes another
attempt to get his connection, but
again the tantalizing words are
heard-"The line is busy"
1t may seem strange to think that
people waste telephone service, but
they do. They do it all over the land.
The offenders embrace several
classes. There's Mrs. Newlywed, for
instance, who just naturally must call
up John ut the office several times q
day to ask if he still loves her and
to tell him not to work too hard. Not
only are most calls of this kind
waste Of wiretime, but they are a
waste of Johns time, and frequently
they cause Johns line to be busy when
ne is being called by somebody w!io
really has something important to
say.
Then there's Miss Tesse Sweet
Young Thing and MIR. Archie Moth
ing-To-Do. They have many CONVEX
sations day between themselves and
others that are more or less waste.
There are many business men. too,
who waste times over the telephone
because he don't know how to say
good-by. They hang on and on, and
meanwhile the man at the other end
is paving the air and praying FOR
relief.
Nor must we forget the woman who
calls up her friends every day to ask
how is everything.
What is said above is in reference
TO people who have telephones in their
houses, some of whom seem TO thi7k
that the instrument should be kept
in constant use in order that they may
get the worth of their money"
There is another class who never
subscribe to the service, but use their
neighbours telephones ad 1ibitum. Their
acquaintance ring up friends in the
neighborhood with requests that such
and such be asked to come to the
phone. In some cases these neigh
Dor persons live square away, and it
may be night witi-stormy conditions
without doors. II ninety-nine cases
out of hundred the conversation car
ried on over the wires On such occas-
ions IS trivial.
in ordinary times telephone vast
ers are not taken very seriously, as,
indeed, is the case with MASTERS Of all
kinds. But when telephone wires are
loaded with important messages, it
does seem that they should take
thought Of themselves.
