we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes hippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

The senate of the United States
has come upon sorry days Name
calling, tale telling and face scratch
ing seem to be the order of the day.
A New England senator refers to
the Western progressives as "sons of
wild Jackasses" and the senate is re-
galed with a reply. Zoology, histron-
les and legislation, when thus mixed,
create headlines, but no legislation.
Brookhart tells a tale of 3-year-
old round of drinks at a "Wall street
ers" party more than three years ago.
1t was at a dinner which he attended
and from which he did not run away
until the end. He has broken long.
long silence to tell this tale of silver
TASKS among the gold of the Morgans
and the Kuhn, Loebs.
Brookhart has brought upon HIM
self lot of storm and scorn, much of
it from friends of progressivism. He
is called the kiss and run senator"
tale bearer and all that sort of thing.
It's a pretty mess the senate pre-
sents.
Meanwhile tremendous issues wait,
wilt and pine away.
Unemployment grows. What cares

The tariff bill, in which labor is

The tyranny, the oppression, the
exploitation and the downright hero

lzed South has gone completely out of
mind.
The "jackass" issue is paramount.
it seems.
Of course much of this unhappy
situation is due to the implacable
hostility between progressives and
stand-patters, although even on the
question of progressivism there is no
clear line o f division.
Many senator is rating himself
as a progressive, though his only
claim to that honorable title may lie
in the fact that he is from an aeri-
cultural section. He may have had
many an axe out for labor and vet
call himself progressive.
The fact is that progressivism is
not, so far as the senate is concerned
term that has been clearly defined
The so-called farm bloc is by no
means all progressive-some of it
hates labor as heartily as it pretends
to hate Wall street.
But undoubtedly new lines are be-
ing drawn and some day there will
be what New Englanders used in the
spring to call "sugaring off'-when
the sap is all boiled down to the fine
brown residue that makes buckwbeat
cakes really good for something in
this world.
But thus far the sap is boiling mer-
rlly-and plenty of sap there is.
There are those who will use this
muddled situation as an argument
against representatives government
1t is probably true that there is
about as much uncertainty of opinion
among the people as there is among
their representatives
But, be that as it may, if we deride
the childishness, the selfshness. the
pure idiocy OF some of the doings of
senator's, we nevertheless defend to
the last ditch the authenticity of the
senate as part of our scheme of gov
ernment
We have a right to make mistakes
and we have rgiht to elect senators
until we can get those that serve to
enact our will
The point is to bring senator's to a
condition of stability and sense and to
see to it that condemnation of legis-
lators does not become condemnation
of the institution itself.
1t is better to be free and to have
foolishness in freedom than to have
silence and obedience under
tyranny. That we can we'll leave to
Russia and Italy--and contemplate
betimes their awful plight.

we beg to call your attention to the
fact that the citrus development of
the Lower Rio Grande Valley of
Texas is now coming to be quite
a factor In the citrus fruit deal, and
will become increasingly so in the
next few years. There has been
some effort. made to export Texas
grapefruit, and same has met with
very favorable acceptance In foreign
countries, and we believe that this
outlet will be increasingly valuable
to the shippers of citrus fruit from
this section; and that in the ap-
pointment of any director OF the
export business for citrus fruit,
this section should be taken into
consideration, as well as Florida
and California.
