In
England the whole thing is over in
three or four weeks.
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. Our
that are utterly useless, and worse.
They are worse than useless, because
they are conflicting and confusing;
others that are so inconsistent that
they are not obeyed.

Perhaps you were unable to find time
for a vacation trip during the summer.
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
