Show ' w SHOULD TAKE MORE INTEREST. INTER-EST. We want to urge upon our readers, one and all, the importance of taking more interest in the public questions' of the day, whether national or local. Whenever you think that there is danger that. a greater or less wrong to the people may be perpetrated, you should write a letter to your representative in Congress, in State Legislatures, and in city governments, govern-ments, letting them know your ideas in regard to it and the position you occupy. The effect upon his vote o! even a few letters received by a representative rep-resentative of the people, it matters not in what capacity he is serving them, will have a wonderful influence upon him. If you will put yourself in the position of a legislator, and will consider what would be the effect ef-fect upon yourself of receiving in your morning's mail twenty-five or more letters urging you to vote, upon some measure, and in the next morning's morn-ing's mail as many icttcrs, and so oi for a number of days, you will see that such a scries of letters all tending tend-ing one way would give you the im-pressionn im-pressionn that your constituents were aroused to the situation, and you would feel the responsibility of your office more forcibly than ever before. This is one of the things we want to do in regard o parcels post. -o |
