Tho mesBngo Is tho first of a aorioB of such communications which ho will mako to Congress In tho early days of tho session, nnd deals entirely with tho forolgn ro- woro classmates and close frlonds. tlioro Is n vast difference In tholrjlatlona of tho United Statos, bogin- by tho people. Commuiinl co-operntlon nnd tho common good triumphed ovor In dlvldunl exploitation nnd prlvnto greed. Tho peoplo hnvo determin ed to do Bomothlng for thoniBolvca and tholr expression wns so om phatlc that It cannot bo questioned or quibbled with. Any movement calculated to lmprovo tho living conditions In nny community Is tho moat important which this or nny other city line to deal. All othor questions nro necessarily sccondnry. Who thor or not certain Individuals will bo monetarily benefitted or In jured should hnvo no weight In arriving nt n decision, Tho peoplo of Mnrahflold by tholr votes yoBtordny proved tholr cnpnclty nnd compotency for solf-govornmont. Thoy proved tholr In telligent understanding of conditions and tho nblllty to glvo expros hIou to their vIowb. Thoy voted for principles Instead of porsons. Complimentary ns It may bo to tho successful cnndldntcs Individually their triumph represents n victory for prlnclplo rather than person. Tlmo wbb when tho ndvocnto of munlclplo ownership was looked upon aa n hnro-brnlucd fanatic. Nevertheless after montlm nnd yenrfl of weary nnd futllo waiting for Improvement of conditions thnt nro Intolerable tho peoplo nf Mnrahflold nwnkoncd. Thon mon who woro known to bo opposed to municipal ownership dlscovorod thnt tlioro might bo something In It. Suddenly they beenmo moved with n chnngo of heart nnd lost no tlmo to go on vorlml record ns being ntllllated with "tho peoplo." To bo nn advocato of tho "Bquaro deal for tho peoplo" quickly becamo the popular thing with mon who woro moro devoted to politics thnn to principle. Hy tholr noire nnd much protesting you can generally know tho protending vnrloty. And nono despises tho protonder moro thnn tho people when thoy find him out. Ycatordny's election proves tho futility of trying to opposo nnd thwart the wIsIiob of n community where tho will of tho pooplo In tho ultlmato will rulo. Such opposition In merely tho damning of tho river of public opinion which bolng dammed, will presently sweep away nil barriers ns It did In yesterday's election. Tho ladles, too, contributed their full shnro to the magnificent victory. Tho reoutt tolls thnt. Thoy proved tholr ability to voto In telligently and undorstnndlngly. It wna a question that ontored di rectly Into tholr homes nnd tholr liven nnd ono on wliloh thoy hnd tho right to oxorclBo tholr Judgment nnd thoy did It wisely nnd well. Tho mon who nro oxchnnglng follcltntloiis on tho nutcomo of tho enm pnlgn, inuat not forgot the Indlos when passing bouquotB. Thoy nro entitled to tho lnrgest and moBt fragrant for their splendid aBslat anco in yestordny'B good work. No city rnn afford to take chnuccrt with doubtful wntor nnd an Inadequate sorvlco. Mnrshfloid cannot contlnuo to develop nnd grow nnd do tilings unless It innkes sure thnt It Is In ovory way a whole some plnco to llvo. It miiBt bo n Cortnlntyvlllo as to health aa well as to business opportunity. The roault is n tribute to Wlnklor and Albrecht, but It Is n still greater trlbuto to tho principles on which thoy stand. Tholr election brings with It a grent nnd gravo roBpoiiBlblllty nnd n duty to tho pooplo which thoy must moot, rccognlzo nnd nionsnro up to. Thoy havo u duty to porforni that will reqtilro tholr beat Judgment, tenac ity of purpoBo nnd a loyalty nnd dovotlon to tholr community nnd tholr follow citizens thnt will not permit of nny wnvorlng or tempor izing.
