Theoretically, the public is the master and the office holder is the man, the servant of the people. He is placed in office for the express pur- pose of enacting such laws as the people as a whole may deem wise and just, or to administer the public’s affairs in identically the same man- ner that a clerk would obey the man- dates of the head of a commercial establishment. Such is the theory of public of- fice, but in its practical workings it is just the reverse. The official be- comes the “master,” and usually pays but scant heed to the wishes of the people until the rumblings warn him that it is time to hedge before the breaking of the storm. With congress in session we will have many real masters making laws for their ostensible masters to obey. Some of these laws will be good, oth- ers will be of doubtful value, while a few may be even obnoxious or vi- cious from our point of view. The wishes and desires of the peo- ple will be of little avail with these “‘masters,” for the reason that it is difficult to induce the people to as- sert themselves on any given sub- ject or proposed measure. But how different it might be if the people would only display a lit- tle more initiative and make their wishes and demands known to con- gressmen and senators before the lat- ter cast their votes! ‘We all know how it should work, but here is the way it does work to- day. A new bill is introduced in con- gress, but it does not meet with the approval of the people of our par- ticular district. In fact, we may consider that it is directly against our own interests. A few of our more aggressive peo- ple write a mild and guarded pro- test to Senator or Congressman Blank, but they are so few as to be without weight or effect. The sen- ator or congressman hears of no widespread opposition in his dis- trict and yields to the powerful pres- sure from other sources in behalf of the bill. He votes for it. Other congressmen and senators do the same, and the bill becomes a law, and we pay the penalty of our in- difference. On the other hand, suppose the people of the district took the bit between their teeth, wrote in large numbers to the senators and con- gressmen and gave them plainly to understand that their constituents ‘were opposed to such a bill, and that they were expected to cast their votes in the interest of the people who placed them in office, irrespec- tive of all pressure from other sour- ces. Would they, under such con- ditions, support an obnoxious meas- ure? Not in a thousand years, for they would know that such action would mean their prompt political death. ‘When the people do become arous- ed and speak in decided terms every senator and congressman glues both ears to the ground and holds them there with bated breath. Now isn’t 1916 a good year in which to change the old order of procedure. Isn’t the time opportune for the people to assert their rights and prerngatives, become the mas- ters, and insist upon a strict com- pliance with their will? Isn’t it about time to give senators and con- gressman of every degree to under- stand that they are servants and not gods? Isn’t it about time for the people of this district to tell our represen- tatives in congress just what we of the district want, and that it is up to them to get it or make way for others who can and will? In any event, isn’t it about time for us to! insist that they vote as we say and not as they think? Collectively the people are all about as much.weight.as feather that is blown before the wind. ‘We are not writing thisin ‘a spirit of criticism of‘our representatives in congress, but we believe that if they are given to understand the nature of our demands they will be cheer- fully complied with. But we do hope that these few words may induce at least a reason-, able number of our people to com- municate directly with our senators, and congressmen whenever a measure is before the national body that is of vital interest to our section of the. state or nation. Want to be able to tell whether your wife goes through your pock- ets or not? Just write her a.sweet little note telling her she is hook nosed, bow legged, flat chested and that her false teeth are getting loose. Then deposit the note in your pocket, hang your coat up in the closet, and take your leave. —! —1 1 A real dog will stand up and fight, and get licked, and take its medicine like “some dog,” while the cur tucks its tail between its legs and scoots home. And we can’t help but think of a noted peace pilgrim who aban- dcned his expedition secretly on the eve of its collapse. If Senator Weeks pushes through his bill for an army of a million men, with five acres of free land for each enlistment, we are ready to enlist in every recruiting office in the coun- try. Some patriotism, that! From the standpoint of posterity it is interesting to note that the DOCTOR SAVES A BLACKSMITH Some time ago I was taken with kidney trouble which caused me to give up my work as blacksmith. I lost my appetite and could not sleep, from the dreadful pains that would come over me, from my kidneys. I was treated by a physician for about three months. He could not help me so finally he prescribed Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root. I started taking same and before I had finished taking the first bottle I began to eat and sleep better than I had in a long time. I continued to take same until I was entirely cured and took on consid- erable weight. I am now back working at my trade again and never felt better in my life. I appreciate what Swamp- Root has done for me and will rec- ommend it to anyone who suffers with their kidneys. When physicians fail to give relief and then prescribe Swamp-Root, they sure know of its merits. I am, Very truly yours, S: A. HALE, Henrietta, N. Y. State of New York ) = )ss County of Monroe ) S.
