body upon the basis of the voters per-
mitted to participate in elections in
the several states, rather than upon
mere population, in Presidential and
Congressional elections.
Congressman George H. Tinkham,
of Massachusetts, has introduced a
resolution based upon the provisions
of the 14th and 18th Amendments to
the Constitution and showing that the
representation from several states is
not in keeping with those provisions.
Notably in the Southern states, glar-
ing ignoring of these constitutional
amendments has been practiced for
many years, giving eleven of these
states 126 votes in the electoral col
lege and 104 representatives in Con
gress on total vote of all presidential
candidates of 100000. The state of
New York, alone, cast total vote of
l,7OG,954 but has only 49 represents
tives in Congress and 29 votes in the
electoral college.
On account of this fragrant ignoring
Of the 18th and 18th Amendments we
have had the infection of Wilson and
wisconsin for the past seven years
and ten months, and we most sin
cerely hope that the present Congress
will make such a condition impossible
for the future.

LESSONS FROM THE BIRDS.

The crows are supposed to be wise
old guys. -
Said one old crow unto his mate:
what shall we do for hash to eat?''
We naturally feel that this old
fellow had an eye to business and
realized the responsibilities of fam
lily support that rested upon him and
was going to make good.
"A. crow sat on railroad track,
Picking his teeth with a carpet
tack" ~ +.
We naturally think that he was a
lazy, shiftless, i1nprovident guy, and
that he never amounted to ANYTHING.
Probably he never had savings bank
account in his Life, and when he
died, very likely his friends had to
take up a collection to bury him.
Some crows are not very wise
after all.
Some of the birds are 1.-THE busiest

GILLESLETS.

Every man makes his own luck.
Seasonable is always good weather
Man can rule, but God can override
Nothing in this world is good
enough.
The Bible has message for every
occasion.
Each ideal family is presided over
by a priest and priestess.
Stagnation in the moral, intellectual
or physical life, means decay.
When you are tempted to criticise
others, turn your guns on yourself.
Regular family meals and regular
family worship would solve many
family problems.
