CITIZENS SHOULD
KEEP IN TOUCH
WITH OFFICIALS
By Robert N. stanfield

The general habit of the American
electorate is to do most of its politica
family washing in one great batcl
during National, State and Munici
pal campaigns, and then depend OF
"the party" in power to handle thc
public linen till the next election. Nc
wonder some of this linen gets pret-
ty dirty before the next general
washday."
The rank and file of the voters go
back to their farms, their stores, of
fices and their regular jobs, and
leave their official representatives to
wrestle with their problems con their
own"
Meanwhile, there are always inter-
ested "groups," having special axes to
grind, who make the peoples repre-
sentatives the objects of their atten-
ton. These "groups" never lose
sight of the things they want. They
maintain constant contact with legis-
lators and public officials. They
know that the way to get things is
to go after them. The peoples rep
resentatives are left largely to guess
what their constituents really think
or desire, and seldom hear from them
except in the form of some organized
propaganda of identical etter- or
telegram-campaign, usually promoted
by the groups who have their own
interests to serve.
Representatives, especially in Con
gress, have become so injured to this
Sort of appeal that it has become a !
standing joke. think | can truly
say, speaking from my experience as
U. S. Senator, that the Congressman
would rather have a dozen letters
written by his constituents own
hands, voicing in their own language
their opinions and desires, than
thousand propaganda letters identi-
cal in wording.
Speaking from my own experience
| can testify that members of both
Houses of Congress are as a rule busy
people. They put in long hours be

in concert work April s.
Gordon Taylor is a native of White
Sulphur Springs. He was boy of
humble parentage, but he inherited
from his mother a remarkable voice.
He went to New York when he wa,
little more than boy, possessed on
ly of his gift and his faith in him

reached a place conceded by eastern
critics to be pre-eminent. Mr.. Tay-
lor will be accompanied by J. Rose

STUDENT KEEPS
SNAKES in ROOM
AT DORMITORY

Madison, Wis, March 24.-Leonard
Wilson, a freshman at the University
of Wisconsin, has six snakes as room
mates in the mems dorlnitory, and
the dean Of men has given permits
sion for him to keep the reptiles with
him.
The news that Wilson kept snakes
in his room caused much comment on
the campus and inspired fear in the
hearts of many co-eds who thought
they might escape and wriggle into
the classrooms or run loose about
the campus.
Dean Scott H. Goodnight investi-
gated and Wilson convinced him the
snakes were harmless when proper
ly cared for. So eloquent was the
freshman that the dean consented to
hold one of the reptiles, and Valencia,
a pine snake, five feet long, curled
about the deans arm and slept.
Wilson has named his snakes Jul
ius Caesar, Cleopatra, Mark Anthony,
Solomon, Major Hoople and Valencia.
81 caught the snakes while hiking
from Toledo to Superior, Wis.," Will
liam said. II was on my way home
from boys camp where | served as
director last summer.
While the investigation was going
on, Wilson convinced other residents
of the dormitory that the snakes
would not harm them, and they
signed petiti@1 asking that he be
permitted to keep them. The last
part of the petition read: eve take
certain pride in the fact that our
section is honored by his and their
presence"
The snakes are given the free
range Of the room. Food is inexpen-
slve as they are fed only once a week.

ular daily sessions, in multitudinous
committee meetings and hearings; the
reception of special delegations and
individuals having particular meas
ures to plead, besides their social de-
mands which sometimes extend far
into the nighttime. Let nobody
think that the members of the Senate
and the House have nothing to do.
The business man closes up his Of

noon and goes home to his family.
The Congressman is seldom, if ever,
at liberty.
But, in spite of all this, the peo-
pies representative is always delight
ed to receive a genuine letter from
back home," and he always takes
pleasure in answering it. If it con-
tains some light on pending legisla-
ton, or tells about the opinion of the
hime folks, he is grateful. He knows
it is reliable. think public officials
generally feel the same way. They
are glad to know the real wishes Of
their constituents, free from" boiler
pate" propaganda.
Another habit Of the American
electorate is to recognize only the
members Of their own political "par-
ty" when making an appeal. Demo-
Gratis write to Democrats, Republi-
cans to Republicans, etc. This is
political sectarianism of a subversive
sort. It's tendency is to destroy cleo
toral solidarity.
This "sectarianism" has no proper
place at all, in my judgment, except
upon the hustings. After public Of
ficials are elected and inaugurated
they are in a holy sense the repre-
sentatives Of the whole people, and
the whole people should feel free to
consult with them. The Democratic
official is just as much the repre-
sentative of his Republican fellow
citizens as he is Of his Democratic
fellow citizens, and the Republican
official ic incl q c ,,1uch thn rpnrpS on
tative of his Democratic fellow citi-
zens as he is Of his Republican fell
low citizens. If this is not true in
practice, then Democratic govern
ment is false alarm. Will anybody
deny that the President of the Unit
ed States is the President of the
whole people? If he is not that, whose
president is he? Is the Governor Of
a State the Govrnor of the Republi-

CAMEL LOSES JOB
IN THE ORIENT


Dodge Brothers motor cars and
Graham Brothers trucks and motor
coaches are gradually crowding the
picturesque camel and mule caravans
to the side Of the roads in the Orient.
The hauling time between Teheran,
the Persian capitol and Bagdad by
camel is is twenty-one days and by
motor three days.
The difficult transportation prob
lem which confronted the members of
the University of Michigan expedi-
tion to the Near East were likewise
solved by Dodge Brothers motor
cars and a Graham Brothers truck.
In his report Of the trip Professor
George R. Swain credited mudh of
the success of the expedition to his
motor equipment.
eve had to drive over roadless des-
ert wastes and through sticky mud,
ford streams, follow barely discern
ible cart tracks under guidance of ma
tives and feel our way along roads
hidden by reddish flood waters"
A very complete assortment of
spare parts for the Dodge Brothers
motor cars and a Graham Brothers
truck was part of the expedition
equipment.
"But not one of the spare parts
was ever needed" adds Professor
Swain. "The cars returned from their
vigorous usage on every conceivable
sort of road in perfect condition"
Mail and passengers are now
transported on regular schedules by
Dodge Brothers motor cars over the
ancient caravan route between Bey-
routh and Bagdad to Damascus.

MOTHERS DAY
OBSERVED IN
JUGO-SLAVIA

Belgrade Mothers Day. in Jugo-
slavia, unlike that of America, is ra-
ther "Children's Day.
There are secret preparations, as
for Christmas. The mother arranges
to be seated at a table so the ehil-
dren can crawl under It and she pre-
tends not to notice that she is being
tied, hand and foot, to her chair.
When the job is finished the children
dance around her and the mother
finally buys her liberty with presents
of candy, toys and clothes, all con-
veniently ready.
The origin of the custom is lost in
the past. The tradition, however, is
well observed and the queen acts as
mother to the children of the poor,
entertaining. selected group and al
lowing herself to be tied by pair
of well-trained youngsters provided

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What Academia Is

Miss A. B. writes: 81 have what the
doctors call an acid system.
Il find that tomatoes and fruits
containing acid, especially canned
make my kidneys extremely active
and cause gas on the stomach.
Zone doctor tells me to avoid these
and another tells me to eat them ex-
cessively because they will eventual
ly make my system alkaline as they
have an alkaline effect on the body.
"Should I eat them or will the ex-
eessive kidney action cause the kid
neys to break dow? Whenever l avoid
acid fruits and tomatoes my kidneys
act about five times daily, and when
| eat dish of tomatoes and one or
two apples they often act as much as
eight times.
Il eat lots of other vegetables and
drink a quart of milk per day be-
sides six or eight glasses of water"
Reply
Academia is a disturbance in the
acid base equilibrium of the body
due to the imperfect combustion of
the fats with the formation of fatty
acids. Eating acid fruits or vege-
tables has nothing to do with it.
Naturally when one eats acid or al
kaline foods the reaction of the urine
will be correspondingly affected. But
that holds true of all the secretions
and eXcretions.
As we go along in life we find
that certain things do not agree with
us. They probably never did, but
the greater adaptability of youth
caused them to pass by unnoticed un-
til the system lost some of its flex-
ible adjustment to unfavorab'e 81
tuations and conditions. IF, then, ex-
perience has taught you that toma-
toes and acid fruits do not agree with
you, the only sensible course to fol-
low is to cut them out of your Diet

Playing the Game

Many rules for the government of
varying phases of human conduct
have been laid down. Still, it isn't
bad idea to think about some of them
occasionally, and if possible give
them a trial.
An exchange prints a few, attribut-
ed to Walter Johnson, famed pitcher
Of the Washington Senators, and
while they particularly apply to the
game Of baseball, the principles enun-
eiated are equally applicable to the
game of real life in general. John
son says.
play fair; be on the level.
Have respect for discipline.
'sNever alibi for failure; accept
the breaks of the game as they come.
Crit your teeth and bear down
when things look toughest.
Live cleanly.
Don't criticize fellow players.

ROCKEFELLER DOES
 NOT HOLD VIEWS
DisagreS With British Oil Man
 on Russia

New York. Aug. P>-A vain protest by Sir Henri W. A. Deter din to John D. Rockefeller. Jr., against purchase by Standard Oil companies of Russian oil products. it was learned today, preceded the open breach between the companies controlled by the two men.
 Sir Henri. managing director or the Royal Dutch Shell oil group Of Great Britain, in a personal letter to MT. Rockefeller is understood to have appealed to his interest in churches and philanthropic work. pointing out that the soviet govern ment has destroyed churches as well as having confiscated property and nationalized industry.
 Mir. Rockefeller is said to have been unmoved by the protest and to have taken no part in the dispute the Standard Oil of New York and the Vacuum Oil company are having with Sir Henri's company.
 The Standard of New York and the Vacuum companies are reported preparing statement setting forth their position and attacking the Royal Dutch-Shell executive for complaining of the purchase by American companies of Russian oil. while the Royal Dutch only recently had been purchasers of such oil.
 Copies of a recent attack made by Sir Henri on the Standard of New York and the Vacuum received here quote him as saying that the American oil industry would be the greatest sufferer from the present arrangement with the soviets. with the exception of the Royal Dutch.
 'The support rendered to the rev. olutionary party in Holland of na- lives of the Dutch East Indies," says Sir Henri, "can therefore, be con- tinued, thanks to the money sent by Moscow and received by them from the Standard for the stolen oil" READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS
