The American people should have no sympathy for those of the Maâ€" jority who indicate they are unwillâ€" ing to have any opposition and who desire, by one means and ‘another, to silence all criticism. They should resent all efforts to intimidate, browbeat and destroy individuals But when the day arrives when the Administration in power, be it Democratic or Republican, ceases to have any opposition in the Conâ€" gress, democracy in the United States wil Ino longer exist. The essence of democraty is the clash of opinion and open debate. If there were no critics in Congress, how would the truth ever become known to the people? How would waste, graft, bribery, injustices and all such vices of men in public ofâ€" fice ever be made known to the peoâ€" ple if there were not those of the opposition ready to point them out to the people? It must not be forâ€" gotten that in a democratic society the role of the Minority is as imâ€" portant as the role of the Majority. Evanston, llinois, June 25 â€" There have been occasions when citizens of Illinois have expressed to me, sometimes in no uncertain terms, their personal displeasure with criticisms of some particular policy or policies of the Administraâ€" tion. ‘They express the thought that no criticism is justified, none whatsoever. Some have gone so far as to urge that as their representaâ€" tive I give unquestioning and unâ€" equivocal support to each and every measure proposed, regardless of personal convictions. â€"I have reâ€" ceived many letters, cards and teleâ€" grams making that appeal. No doubt a number of other Memâ€" bers of Congress have had the same experience. No doubt many have received all manner of threats of "political death" unless the Adminiâ€" stration‘s program was supported in its entirety, even to the crossing of the "t‘s" and the dotting of the "i‘s." There is even a certain ofâ€" ficial group in the Administration itself, popularly. known as the "elimâ€" ination committee," which believes no one should sit in Congress who dares to criticise or dares to oppose.

Go west on 20 through Grays Lake and before reaching the town of Round Lake look for a sign directing you north to Rennahan‘s Lodge. It is on the east side of the lake. On account of the picnic the regâ€" ular morning worship combined with the Sunday school will begin at 10 a.m. Please note the change in time.

Democracy reâ€" quires a Minority Party in opposiâ€" tion. ‘That Minority Party also has the responsibility to make proposiâ€" tions dealing with the various probâ€" lems. As an alternative policy, it is not enough to point out how the Adminâ€" istration‘s policy is permitting large importations of farm products from abroad. Rather it must be specificâ€" ally shown how the American marâ€" ket can be preserved for American products. It is not enought to point out that the Administration‘s policy is gradually taking from the farmâ€" er an independent income as a proâ€" ducer. Rather it must be specificâ€" ally shown how the government can, through research appropriations, find new uses for farm products. It must be specifically shown how new markets abroad can be cultivated, particularly to the south of us. It must be specifically shown how marketing agreements may be strengthened. . And we of the Minority ‘should remind ourselves that the American people will have no sympathy for those who do nothing but oppose. The true function of the Minority is not simply negative. It is both negative and positive. On the one hand it is to oppose, and on the other it is to propose. To discharge that dual function properly, there muts be courage in propositions as well as oppositions. The success of the Republican Party this November will in large measure depend upon the degree to which its candidates recognize. their dual responsibility as a Minority Party. From conversations with the farmers of Illincis I am convinced they do not believe in the Adminiâ€" stration‘s policy of regimentation. Such a program should be made the object of attack and opposition. In a fight against unnecessary regiâ€" mentation the independent farmer, deeply rooted in democratic tradiâ€" tions, will gladly join. But the farmers of lilinois also ask what we propose instead of this regimentaâ€" tion program. To do nothing will not solve the farm problem. The problem will not solve itself. To propose a definite solution is also the role of the minority. It must be clear and specific. It must show the Minority capable of the leadership the farmers are asked to give them. and organizations who dare to His feat has been rewarded with the Spring Sportsmen‘s Award of 3 pair of Duke of Dundee Air Condiâ€" tioned Briar Pipes packed in an atâ€" tractive case.

Vacation Plans Mrs. Ida Bethards Passes Away July 2 Mrs. Ida Bethards passed away Saturday after a prolonged illness. She was born in Leroy, IIL., October 8, 1860. She spent her early life in and near Bloomington, HL., and later in Chicago, Iowa and Caliâ€" !omi‘l. For the past four years Another feature which Wilmette‘s committee on arrangements has agreed upon is to install additionâ€" al benches between the present seating section up to within a short distance from the stage. It is beâ€" lieved that aside from their pracâ€" tical benefits, these two changes will effect a marked improvement in the general appesrance of the amphiâ€" theatre. For the last ten years, Mrs. Beâ€" thards has taken a keen delight in developing a latent talent for writâ€" ing. During that time she wrote a number of short stories and in the past year completed a full length novel. She was an amateur in the finest sense of the word, in as much as she wrote for the sheer joy of creating, and yet her work has the quality of a seasoned writer. Her imagination had a youthful vigor which seventy years could not quench. she has made her home in Ravinia with her daughter, Mrs. John Warmâ€" ington. She also leaves two other daughters, Mrs, W. W. Clason of Highland Park and Mrs. Celia Treâ€" visan of Hollywood, California. Under much improved auspices, Wilmette will usher in its thind season of free outdoor summer conâ€" eerts by the Illinois Symphony Orâ€" chestra at the Wilmette Amphitheâ€" atre on the lake front just north of the Wilmette harbor. Two marked improvements will add to the enjoyment of the hunâ€" dreds of listeners who are expected to attend the concerts. The first is an acoustical benefit to be effectâ€" ed through the installation of a new wood covering to replace the canâ€" vas canopy over the shell. This much needed change is expected not only to project the music to a greatâ€" er distance, but to add general clarâ€" ity to the orchestra‘s tone. Commencing Wednesday evening, July 6, at 8:15 o‘clock and continâ€" uning on successive Wednesday eveâ€" nings through August 31, the Illiâ€" nois Symphony will regale north shore music lovers with programs especially designed for these all free events. § . t _ Funeral services were held Bloomington on Tuesday. .
