We gain nothing by spreading out a campaign through months. The men we elect cannot be said to rep resent the people wlio elect them more correctly than the men elected to the British parliament represent their constituents. Our government is no more representative of the peo ple than the government of England is. We act as if we thought that the people of this country did not think of political questions except during the campaign. As a matter of fact there is no recess of. politics in the newspapers and the same thing is true of the men who read them. Men do not dismiss politics from their minds three years and four months and then concentrate their attention on political questions for two-htirds of a year. Any man who read the news finds plenty to think about along political line when he reads the proceedings of congress. One who readsditorials finds that there is n political let-up. Men give all their attention to politics and at no time do. they divorce poli tics entirely from their thoughts. Our campaigns ate costlier because of their length and as they are made more costly it is nmre-and more dif ficult for a man of modest means to be a candidate without selling himself to some rich man or men who will finance his candidacy.

Don't be satisfied to merely regret it. Go to California NOW where days are filled with sunshine and nights are uniformly cool and clear. There is something out there which makes a strong appeal to everybody. Golf, tennis, mo toring over perfect highways, surf-bathing, mountain-climbing, dancing, or just resting among the orange groves and flowers. Excursion fares prevail. Go one way return an other, and stop off where you wish. Make the most of your trip by using the BURLINGTON'S splendid service via Denver, the Pike's Peak Re gion, the Royal Gorge, Salt Lake City, Los An geles and San Francisco, and then return through The American Wonderland the Pacific Northwest Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, the Cas cades, Olympics and the Rockies.
