North Dakota Senator Charge
Coterie of Financier! Are
Patently More Powerful
Than Government
Washington, June 22. An attack
on the big banker of the country
nude yettcrday in the senate bv
Senator Ladd. republican, North Da
kota, in the course of an addreit in
aupport hit plan to tax the banki
to pay the veterans of the world war
a rash bonui.
"We have a mull coterie of bank
ers that are patently more powerful
than the government." said Senator
Ladd. "They control the financial
situation. They ran say to the gov
ernment how much of the treasury
obligations they will buy; they can
finance new railway enterprixe and
new industrial combinations that
meet the stamp of their approval;
they can even finance foreign ven
tures and the rate of exchange seems
to affect them but little in so doing."
Built Up Surplus.
Asserting that while the soldiers
were sacrificing during the war the
bankers were piling up surplus and
distributing dividends, Senator Ladd
declared that "it is one of the great
est crimes of the age that we have
not used the strong arm of this gov
ernment to reach into the gold
laden coffers of these war profiteers
and compel them to divide, in an
equitable manner, their outrageous
profits" with the former service men.
"The big banks emerged from the
war in the most commanding posi
tion of power of any institutions in
the history of the world," continued
the North Dakota tenator.
"The American soldier emerged
broken, without money, with the fu
ture gloomy and prosperity far be
yond the horizon. Millions of them
were literally turned loose upon the
country with nothing to do. The
banks were not satisfied. To add to
the desperateness of their condition,
they inaugurated their policy of
drastic deflation; that not only de
ttroyed jobs, but they threw out of
employment thousands of others
who could be forced to face these
conditions with them. The banke.s
made their condition worse by de
flating every opportunity they had
to rehabilitate themselves."
Bankers Oppose Bonus.
"Will you exercise the solemn
duty delegated to congress by the
people through the constitution and
assert some control over the cur
rency and credit of the country, or
will you supinely consent to a con
tinuation of the bankers control by
sanction of congress?"
At the outset of his address Sen
ator Ladd expressed the belief that
most of the opposition to the bonus
bill had been fathered by the bank
ers. He also expressed the opinion
that "instead of being zealous of the
public interests and so fearful of the
consequences upon the federal treas
ury, the bankers are more worried
at this time lest there shall be some
actual,, cash . .distributed among . the
people of the country that will for
a time restore business in such a
manner as to result in their tem
porarily losing control of the situa
tion. "They are not yet through with
their period of exploitation and
plunder," he continued. "The inde
pendence of labor, the marketing
channels of the farmer, our entire in
ternal and domestic conditions must
be first subject to the bankers' reg
ulation before they intend to loosen
the purse strings."
County Improve Golden
Rod Road Near Red Cloud

be no immediate prospect of having
that part of the Golden Rod highway,
which runs east from this city to the

a statp or federal road, the county
commissioners have started to im

engaged contractors to build per
manent bridges. Land has been
donated by adjacent property owners
to make a regulation federal turn
where the course of the Golden Rod
changes.

Lovers Who Are
Content to
Drift
. By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
Today I'm printing word for word
letter which expresses a question
I'm asked over and over again by
worried young women. I wonder if
just teeing the case stated won't
start thoughtless and inconsiderate
young men thinking and incline them
to mend their ways.
'Tossibly you can help me solve
a rather difficult problem. There
is an 'only one' in the case, of course,
tut the trouble lies right there, be
cause while he is the only one, I
daren't acknowledge it publicly.
"I have known him for about 10
years, since I was 11 years old, and
I have trotted around with him now
and then for about two years. How
ever, we have been together three or
four evenings a week for half that
time. He does not want me to drop
my other friends, but manages with
out actually saying a word about it
to make me feel terribly guilty and
uncomfortable if I have another date.
"Now what I am appealing to you
for it to know how I can make him
propose. We have talked of the
future, but always in abstract
terms. . He knows all my faults as
well at my virtues, so that 1 know
he is not in doubt as to whether 1
am the right girl.
"He has mentioned in the pres
ence of others that he can t keep
hinlself, let alone a wife, but that is
really a minor detail, as he is well
situated financially.
"My friends nod to each other
and wink when they lee us con
tinually together, and they say I
am foolish to turn down other in
vitations. However, I know that
he turns down numerous invita
tions and is absolutely true to me.
I want to be engaged publicly, but
how?"
"People take things for granted,
and it is most embarrassing for me
when our mutual friends talk about
how they'll come to see us when
we are married. He never answers
their jests, so once I summoned uo
courage enough to say to a crowd.
It's polite to wait till you're
asked I ... But he didn't ask I
"Mut- I go on indefinitely until
it suits his purpose to ask me. as
I know he eventually will? V.
E. H."
. . "As I know he eventually
will," writes the girl, trusting in the
love which has proven itself silently
rather than in the word which would
make her happily certain that the
man she loves is willing to under
take the responsibilities of marriage.
Perhaps the man says: "We're
sure of ourselves and our feelings,
why must we bind our faith with
vows?"
Perhaps he doesn't think about the
girl's side of it at all. He may be
well contented to drift along without
obligations or burdens of any sort.
He enjoys the girl's society and
doesn't feel in the mood to make any
change since a change might not
give him as much satisfaction as he
gets out of the present arrangement
A home, a family, a wife to con
sider these may all terrify a selfish
or childish soul. A sweetheart to see
when he wants that may suit him
excellently. Some day who knows
what that some day will bring?
I'm trying to keep myself outside
this, to avoid saying more than a
word of suggestion. But I wish
some of, the men who read would
tell me honestly just what they think
of themselves and of others who drift
idly into a similar situation.

My Marriage Problems

"REVELATIONS OF A WIFE"
(Cowisht Itlt)
Why Madge Hesitates to Aid Alien
Drake.
I am sure I know now the feelings
of the legendary mouse when the
realized that it depended upon her
to free the lordly lion from hit
bonds. My father's hesitating re
quest that I would tend word to
Allen Drake of my willingness to
help him with the refractory code,
frightened me at much at it astonish
ed me.
True, I .remembered well too
well, I thought sometimes when the
brilliant secret service agent had been
glad of my help. But that was only
iii the service given him by my un
usual memory. This freakish gift of
mine which I have untiringly culti
vated, had upon one particular oc
casion enabled me to carry in my
mind whole lists of names and fig
ures which it was unsafe for him
to carry with him upon paper. It had
been several years since I had mem
orized those lists for Allen Drake, I
had not thought of them for months,
at least, but yet I knew that I could
repeat unerringly every one of them
if he should ask me for them.
But that I could possibly help Al
len Drake in deciphering a code
Allen Drake, the acknowledged mas
ter of two continents in his peculiar
gifts I. found myself tremulous at
the very thought! And yet, I never
had known my father to act upon im
pulse, or without tome sure knowl
edge back of his words or actions.
I could not help protesting, how
ever, and I felt the blood rush to my
face as I spoke.
"Of course, I am willing to do any
thing you ask me. father," I said
earnestly. "But how in ths world
could I help Allen Drake with a
code?"
"I am not sure that you can," he
returned with a little smile. "But
there is something about the thing
baffling him which is connected in
some intangible way with you. I
cannot explain it and I may be al
together wrong but I have the feel
ing that if you see the paper on
which Allen is working you may be
able to give him some aid."
"But " my voice held all the in
credulity I felt, "has Mr. Drake asked
that I help him?"
"I Cannot Volunteer"
My father's face and voice were
unruffled as he gave me the answer
which threw me into a panic.
"No, he doesn't dream, of course,
that you could. But if I can carry
him the word that you are willing. I
am sure you will, take a great burden
from his mind."

Before my fact flashed I swift
vition of Allen Drake's face should
my father give him such a message
from me. 1 could imagine the lazv,
scornful amusement with which he
would greet tuch a message, and the
vision urged my lips to firm denial.
"1 cannot volunteer any help to
Mr. Drake on s subject of which he
it master, avid of which I know
nothing." I said. ."But if
My father interrupted me smiling.
"I will guarantee that he does nst
think you presumptuous, and there
will be no volunteering about it, I
will confide to him my reason, or
rather my impression for it is only
a hazy feeling that you may he able
to help him. I will assure him of
your willingness, and of your doubt,
and will then send for you. How
will that do?"
I met hit kindly, quizzical eyet
bravely.
"That will do admirably," I said.
"And I will do the very best I can,
but"
"Suppose we atop right here," he
said, drawing me to him and kissing
me tenderly. "Please remain here,
if possible, alone, for 15 minutes."
"That is early arranged," I an
swered. "Marion and Junior are
asleep, Lillian is at work in her room,
Mother Graham is reading in hers,
and Katie left the kitchen for her
quarters before I came upstairs."
"Excellent," he said commending
ly. "I am cure I shall be back in fif
teen minutes."
A Long-Cherished Dream.
He opened the door and went out.
but I was scarcely conscious of his
going for to me was coming the first
faint hope of a long-cherished dream
coming true a dream scarcely ac
knowledged even to myself.
I cannot remember when puzzles
of any kind, even the simple puzzles
on the children's page of a newspa
per, have not had an almost uncanny
fascination for me. I have spent
hours in their solving when I was
ashamed to let anyone know how I
was spending my time. And any piece
of fiction which deals with the de
ciphering of a code has always held
me spellbound I have worn my
copy of Poe's "The Gold Bug"
threadbare but I have tried to keep
my obsession a secret, fearing lest
Dicky, for instance, with his love of
ridicule, should discover it.
And now, within a few minutes, I
should have the chance to work upon
a code with Allen Drake, whose mas
terly ability in his chosen work wat,
I knew, one secret of the fascination
his persona'ity always had held for
me.

And before she had time to object,
he left her.
Over near the garden fence he met
three plump robins who had flown
across the meadow to help fight
Reddy Woodpecker. And soon the
four had dropped down into the rasp
berry patch.
Reddy Woodpecker had not ar
rived. So, while they were waiting,
Jolly Robin's friends helped them
selves to berries. Under the hot sun
the fruit had ripened fast. Finding
it both sweet and juicy they ate of it
freely. And Jolly Robin could think
of no reason why he should not do
likewise. .
By the time Reddy Woodpecker
came, all- the Robins from over the
meadow were feeling so well fed and
good-natured that they were in any
thing but a fighting mood.
"Let that Woodpecker enjoy this
fruit if he likes it," they said to Jolly
in an undertone. "There's more than
enough for everybody. And now,"
they told him, "we must go home,
because we have to help our wives'
feed our children."
Off they flew. And Jolly Robin
found himself alone with Reddy
Woodpecker.
"Ahem!" exclaimed Jolly Robin.
"It's a fine morning, isn't it?"
"Delightful I" said Reddy Woodpecker.

A properly functioning digestive system is the found,
