WASHINGTON', Sept. 2. Ia your congressman "miiwshf " That will be the popular question on the Hps of voters this fall, if the plans of the Na tional Voters' league, with headquar ters in Washington, materialize. Sec retary Lynn Haines of the league is planning to issue two special editions of his "Searchlight on Congress" to contain the records of scnutors and congressmen seeking ro-eleetion. In both editions the aspiring statesmen will he dm motorized us fit for re election or not, according as their rec ords on important rollcalls und other activities in the legislative chambers indicate their vulue to the voters. One means of characterization is to he the word "mawsli." This word was sug gested by Richard S. Childs, father of the short ballot idea unci one of the executive committee of the Na tional Voters' league. The phrase is taken from the initials of the words 'might as well stay at home." Where a congiessinun's record indicates that Ins public service would have been iih well performed if he had never ocme lo congress, this word will ho used by the league. "We shall employ Hint clutraclcr- izalion only in ciihch where the rec ords unquestionably justify its use," snys Secretary Haines ill u recent bulletin. If every one of the upward of 20,- 00(1,(1(1(1 voters who will this full east their ballots for senators und con gressmen would tuke pains to ascer tain from the Voters' league or some icr reliable source the actual record of tlieir senators and representatives in congress, the next house and senate might have quite n few new faces und might conceivably be a much better legislative body, The acting secretary of labor, John C, Duiismorc, has released George An dreytchine, tho steel corporation cm- love who formerly worked in their offices on the Mcssuba iron range in Minnesota, mid who was nrrijstod and persecuted at the instance of the steel trust because he encouraged tho strik ing iron miners. The steel trust tried to have Andrcylchinc deported to liul gariu, as an Undesirable ulicu, al though, he had for two years been their office employe. Ho was charg ed with being iin "anarchist," but his real offense was in siding with the strikers. . ' Under this administrntioii the de partment of labor is demonstrating that it really has the interests of labor ut heart. These are the days when the Con gressional Record is being filled up with speeches for political consump tion. Most of these speeches nre not delivered. In tho bound und perma nent voluino of the Record, however, they appear as if really delivered, and it is made to appear as if the con gressman was really speaking from the floor of Hie house of representa tives. Sometimes a ronlislie touch like "applause" is added for (his pur pose. It is unusual, however, for n man who is not in Washington to gel his spi h printed as if talking on the floor. Mi', ilainhart of Indiana has achieved this result. Mr. Dixon arose (he other day and said: "Mv col- Jcaguc, Mr. Ilarnhart, is detained at home on account of the illness of his wife." I ask unanimous consent to extend his remarks in tho record on the subject of n tariff commission." This was going too strong even for hardened members of the house, and Stafford of Wisconsin objected. As these "speeches" can only appear by unanimous consent, this should have prevented publication of these long distance remarks of Harnhart's. To the surprise of readers of the Record, however, the speech may be found in the same edition which printed the ob jection to its apiH'arance. This incident recalls (he fact that twenty "speeches" on the subject of the Ashhrook widows pension bill were inserted in the Record nftcr I he bill had passe-!. This farce of "dc- liaiioi"' measures in undelivered speeches after Ihe measure passes is a regular practice of the house. It one of Ihe frauds which congressmen practice on their constituents. Such "speeches," of course, are for cum paicn consumption onlv. The secretary of the interior has issued u notice warning people in (he west that there is no possible way by which prospective settlers can secure any rig Ills in the lands of the Oicgon Calit'oiuia laud grant, Ihe title to which was revested in the government by aclion of congress nfter the rail mail had intntcd the terms of the grant fur many years.

AtWi Ga Property Owners, Attention Seven reasons why you should take advantage of this unusual offer and have your unwired property wired, be tween August 15th and September 15th, 1916. ' 1. All tenants would like to live in a house wired for electric service, and most tenants demand it. 2. ' Your maintenance is materially reduced; houses wired for electric service require less frequent papering, painting, etc. 3. In dull times it is the unwired house which is vacant. 4. It places your building on a par with those more re cently erected. All buildings recently erected provide this service. 5. Wiring can be installed without disturbing your ten ants and without damage to your decorations, etc. 6. The electrical contractor is now offering special prices on this class of work. This, together with the easy payment plan, does away with the question of first cost. 7. If you will ordor your house wired between August 15 to September 15, 1916, you can make a small payment down and the balance in monthly payments covering a period of twelve months. Call the Wiring Department, Phone 1(58, and we will send a Representative to advise you in detail how to avail yourself of this unusual offer.
