To-Day's Prize Letter

still greater and broader question
the position of the legislature in our
scheme of government. Popular opin-
ion of Congress varies from vague
distrust to outright and freely ex-
pressed hostility and contempt. What
is the result? An autocratic execu-
tive. Recent events have shown that
continuance of the latter system is
decidedly unpopular, but before it can
be abandoned some better method Of
handling legislative business must be
developed.
1t is serious matter. The need
for a courageous and efficient legis-
lature was never so great, and yet
apparently Congress lacks the rcqui-
site leadership and the necessary or
ganization and methods.
There are many signs that needed
improvements will sooner or later be
brought about in the executive de-
partments. Is there not an oppOrtu-
nifty for the Republican party to ap-
ply the same principles to restora-
ton of Congress to its proper place
of dignity and effectiveness? in any
case, should we not at least have .
pledge that there will be no increase
in the size of the House as a result
of this years census? W. R.

Sir: A great deal has been said and
written on the subject of Americanism
but in many cases the suggestions made
have been without real merit True
Americanism does not consist of ele-
CANT phrases or nicely rounded sem
fences. 1t has far broader meaning
and can only be fostered through the
early training of the youth of America.
The proper place in which to instill
the principles of genuine Americanism
to instill the knowledge during the
formative period. The youth Of our
beloved country should be so impressed
with the facts of history that when they
grow up to manhood and womanhood
they will be Americans in the truest
sense. They should be impressed with
the fact that the American flag is the
most beautiful emblem that has ever
waved as the flag of free people.
Ihey should devote q portion of each
school day to the study of the lives of
the men whose names are honored
wherever the glorious emblem of lib
erty and justice floats.
They should become familiar with the
events that are concentrated on GER
tain days by the American people, such
as Memorial Day, Flag Day, the Fourth
Of July. Thanksgiving Day, and the
other solemn anniversaries so dear to
the people of this glorious country.
The should become familiar with the
lives and mighty deeds of Washington.
