Select Well

Washington. Feb. 1S.-As the sick
man. discourage becomes the easy
prey of the quack, so the citizen, dis
contcnted, becomes the ready mark
of the demag ogue. Speaker Frederick
H. Gillett of the House today told the
citizens of this country in a message
given to the Rotary clubs of the
country. Don't let your discomfort
lead YOU to blindly follow the first
man who promises a panacea," adds
the speaker. The quack and the
deragosue alike always follow one
method. They paint sympathetically
your sufferingS. which are real, in
order to win Your confidence in their
remedy, which is generally CHM
erical
Speaker Gillctt's message was on
the subject OF the individual citizens
responsibility for legislation. He
said:
THE individual citizens RESPONSE
bility for legislation is mainly in
direct. We are not democracy: we
are republic. We elect represen-
tatives to leSislate for US. And the
first duty and responsibility Of the
citizen towards legislation is to select
well his representative.
"The other chief responsibility Of
the citizen is to keep informed on
questions of legislation.
yet in drawing your conclusions
you should not be too assured. In
this enormous country of ours with
its sectional differences. it's racial
prejudices, and it's class jealousies an
unbiased and all embracing vision is
dlfhcult. Don't assume that all legis-
latlon which seems to favor your
special interest must be right, or
must be permanently beneficial even
to you. Try to look on all sides.
When keenly conscious that wrongs
exist it 10 natural to support the first
plausible project for righting them,

comes the easy prey of the uuack, so

Attorney General Daugherty de-
clares that constitutional government

citizen first acquaints himself with

principles Of citizenship being used
in the United States are duplicated

OF the main branches Of government

TRIBUTE TO RECONSTRUCTION

A most timely reference to the
qualities displayed by the south
during the reconstruction period is
contained in correspondence be-
tween President Harding and the
chairman Of the committee of the
United Confederate Veterans.
In extending the President an
invitation to attend the reunion Of
the Veterans the chairman wrote:
1.-THE call Of the time is equally to
emphasize and impress the courage.
loyalty and constructive citizenship
OF American manhood in the peace
that follows war. The Confederate
veterans began anew with resources
exhausted and opportunity reduced,
and by matchless energy. devotion
and cooperation. rebuilt and re-
habilitated their land into immense
production and broad prosperity.
In his reply President Harding
quoted these words because they
have moved me to say that in my
Judgment the reconstruction OF the
South, by the people of the South,

ments following the war, get the
