Farmer and Whiskers.

Newspapers have commented on the fact
that chin whiskers answered the roll call
at the national agricultural conference in
Washington. This fact was brought out be-
cause in the funny papers and on the vaudeville
stage the farmer always wears chin whisker.
On the same high authority the owner of this
particular type of whisker wears boots and says
"by gum Almost everybody, except some
members of congress, knows that the chin
whisker, though a noble institution in its time
longer typifies the American farmer. That
certain members of congress still get their in
formation from the funny papers and the
stage is apparent from the kind of speeches
they make for farm consumption; but actually
these members themselves are the chin whsker
Americans. They have chin whsker minds.
anyway. These are the congressman who want
to disband the army and who think that it's
time enough to prepare for after war is
declared. They have another chin whsker
idea that the best army officer is a deputy
county recorder of deeds with talent for re-
citing Patrick Henry's liberty death speech
at the high school graduation exercises.
If the agricultural conference succeeds in
dispelling some of these chin-whisker ideas in
congress that body will be much better fitted
to fran farm legislation than it is now. There
are too many senators and representatives
whose present notion of rallying to the aid of
the farmer IS to attack the cost Of the federal
reserve bank buildings being erected in the
cities. Senator Helm made himself such a
farm champion the other day. He is a perfect
type OF the chin-whisker mind in congress
Senator Watson of Georgia is another. They
wear their mental chin whiskers because they
imagine the country is still chin whiskered and
can be chin whiskered out of its common sense
and political intelligence. Congress ought to
get rid of its chin whiskers unless, indeed, 1t
is forced to wear it to conceal the absence of a
chin.

On hearing this, the man next

grew pale a moment after as a
sudden realization came that he
loved this woman as man loves
only one woman in lifetime, that
his careless pursuit had led him
into deep waters of emotion. and
that his feeling now was akin to
worship for this brave soul who so
patiently had borne her sorrow in
silence for so long.
Late in the afternoon of the next
day, he called at the hatter's and
pleaded his suit She laughed at

time when the principle OF proportional rep
resentation is still regarded as something OF a
radical theory The decision of the constitu-
tional convention win be upheld by the people.
The arrangement making it possible for the
minority party to elect one representative from
each senatorial district has not served the pur-
pose for which it was originally devised Mem
bers OF the convention that drafted the pres
ent constitution, sitting in the year 1870, still
had the Civil war fresh in their memories. They
dfstrusted the counties in the southern part
of the state, which were predominatingly DEM
ocratic and to make certain that the Republi-
can party would be able TO hold on to life in
these counties they wrote into the constitution
the provision for minority representation. AS
things worked out the device was a vastly
greater boon to the Democrats than to the Re
publfcans. Wartime bitterness was gradually
forgotten and Republican control moved
steadily southwark Whatever was won there
was more than balanced, however. in the old
Republicans strongholds, from which Demo-
cratic representatives came with unfailing reg
ularity. There needs be no surprise that an
other Republican constitutional convention has
seen fit to abolish the system
For the people, more concerned to obtain
good government than to bolster the fortunes
OF any party, the political history and effects
OF the present system not important as
its other aspects. From their standpoint there
have also been objections. Minority repre-
sentation necessarily complicates the ballot
to Some extent Although the arrangement has
been in effect for half century it remains 20
this day regrettabIe fact that probably less
than half of the voters fully understand it. He
who doubts the assertion Of the educators that
this is nation of sixth graders will be unde-
ceiyed when he sits a precinct election board
At the same time there have been some practi-
cal advantages. 1t is apparently in the nature
of things that in any district in which one party
exercises a continuous control over long peri
DDS it becomes more subject to the rule Of ma
chimes and bosses than does the minority party,
in which the prospects OF reward are too slight
to support any considerable number of pro-
fessionaI politicians. In operation this circum-
stance has in innumerable instances made the
minority representatives the ones of whom dis
tricts have had most reason to be proud. Doing
away with the system of minority representa-
ton will not bring Illinois at once to the final
goal to which it's people will look, Majority
representation alone does not make for full
justice as will be seen when it is considered
that party enrolling 40 per cent of all the
voters in the state under this method might
not have single representative in the legis
lature. The method of the future, making both
for just representation and cleaner politics, is
undoubtedly proportional representation. When
the advance of our educational system has
lifted the bulk of the voters above the sixth
grade level another constitutional convention
will institute this method.

A Romance in 1922.

He was poor boy who became lawyer and
politician in a small town in a middle ives;
state. AS result he bacame connected with
the business end of national politics, an as
siduous and an able servant of a great political
party. In the course of events the little lawyer
physically, of course-from the little town
became postmaster general. For while he
contrived to live upon his cabinet salary in
Washington. Soon came great business men
with gunnysack of gold and with a PROPOSE
ton to pay the cabinet officer a whacking big
salary. The publicity agents placed it ut $780,
900. At any rate it more than the pay of
several cabinet officials, or maybe the pay of
the whole cabinet
The little lawyer from the little town put
his hand into the gunnysack OF gold and felt
it. 1t was real gold. He pinched himself. He
said to the business men, after due considera-
ton: my country needs me. My country:
May she be always right, but right or wrong
my country! Nevertheless you get me-" In
this true story we have an American romance
quite as wonderful as story from the Arabian
Nights" entertainment 1t is a story which
will be told again from time to time and truly.
Yet there are grumblers who say that young
man has no chance in America nowadays
