SENATOR SMOOT’S STATEMENT.
"In one year the American people
must decide how they shall meet a
national crisis.”
Sentor Reed Smoot, member of the
Senate Finance committee, made this
statement today as a comment upon
the national defense program.
“As now proposed,” said Senator
Smoot, “the proposed national de
fense program involves an expenditure
of more than one billion dollars; the
expenditures, however, to cover a
period of five years. That expendi
ture must be financed.
“How shall it be done? That is a
question voters must answer one year
later. It is a grave responsibility. I
thoroughly believe that there can be,
and will be, but one course to pursue.
That is to elect a republican president
and a republican congress.
“The repuDncan party is the only
one that in policy and performance
has proven adequate to meet such a
situation. Considered from every
angle the democratic party has demon
strated its inability and unfitness for
the task.
“Remember that the balance of
trade against us during the four
months preceding the war, at a time
when democratic policies and laws
were in effect, was $248,000,000.
What a political blessing the war was
to the democratic party.
“In two years the democratic ad
ministration has produced such busi
ness conditions that, but for the pure
ly accidental stimulus of a foreign
war, we would now be in the throes
of a panic. Eliminate the market
created by temporary artificial Eu
ropean demands, and American indus
try would be prostrated.
“Past history has proven the only
way the democratic party, when in
power, has been able to meet the ex
travagant appropriations made by
them for the ordinary running ex
penses of the government, was by the
sale of bonds. A bond issue is in
evitable whether a national defense
program in undertaken or not.
In two years the democratic admin
istration has passed scores of worth
less laws. The insertion of meaning
less phrases in statutes, the constant
violation of the simplest legislative
rules, have brought about more cost
ly and needless federal litigation than
we have ever known before.
“In two years the democratic ad
ministration has created an enormous
deficit in our treasury, and has not ad
vanced a single plan for meeting it.
The proposed reenactment of the
sugar duty and the ‘war tax’ law
only retains present revenues. Bond
1
issues are nothing but loans that must
be paid for in the future.
“The democratic party has not a
policy in its platform, a law to its
credit, nor a plan to propose, that will
meet the financial crisis inevitably
imposed by the national defense pro
gram.
“A return of the republican party
to power seems to me not only a na
tional necessity but a foregone con
clusion.”
The early Christian philosophers
frequently used the Latin phrase,
“Memento mori,” meaning by that to
warn sinners of the approach of the
The world moves on; Latin becomes
a dead language; ragtime dominates
our amusements and physicians of the
bodytell us to forget the admonitions
of former spiritual advisers and “Re
member life. “What is death,” they
ask,” except the end of things in
which everyone else is more concerned
than ourselves, even though we are
the principle actor therein? Dr.
Woods Hutchinson, president-elect of
the American Academy of Medicine,
says that over-eating is the chief trou
ble of the American people. He warns
us to remember the correct way to
live is to be temperate in all things,
especially in eating, driving home the
fact that “It doesn’t matter in the
least how fast we dig our own graves,
so long as we do not fall into them
too previously.” All of which brings
us to the fact, physicians are con
tinually showing, that the American
people die before their time because
they are intemperate—not in drinking,
as the prohibitionists would have us
[believe—but in overworking and over
eating and overliving. The sight of
a drunken man, even in the great cit
ies, is comparatively rare. Few sa
loons, nowadays, will sell a drunken
man. But go into a restaurant and
watch people overeat. Note the fat
paunches, the hanging jowls, the dead
eyes, the gouty walks of those you
pass, and you will not be astonished
at the physicians’ statements. Tem
perance is moderate indulgence. It is
just as bad morally to overeat as it is
to overdrink. In our fight for tem
perance in drinking, we must not
overlook that other greater evil—over
eating. Remember li/e!
The hardest housekeeping in the
world is the housekeeping that people
do for their neighbors. Half the trou
bles we have are caused by worrying
about what people think. What dif
ference does it make what they think,
anyway? No one can live his own
life and two or three other people's
besides. What's the use of setting up
housekeeping on the roof or on the
outside walls for the benefit of the
neighbors? You would rightly be
judged insane if you suggested any
thing of the kind, and that is prac
tically what half the people do. They
can’t do this because the neighbors
would talk, and they can’t do that
because the neighobrs wonder if they
could not afford to do something else.
They may not say it in so many words,
but they mean it, and it is simply a
great big vacuum in some of our na
tures where moral courage ought to i
be. Half the sting of poverty or small!
means is gone when one keeps house J
for himself and not for his neighbors.
All other explanations having been
swept into the discard, a New York
medical journal now asserts that
“brain fag” is the cause of the war.
But, of course, charity to the afflicted
prevents on our commenting on the
poor old fagged out brain that puts
forth this latest bid for newspaper
notoriety.
Have you noticed the little picture
and poem that is printed in The
Northwestern every week, “The
Cheerful Cherub?” Sometimes his
quaint sayings may fit your case ex
actly. and if you have the blues “The
Cherub” may say something that will
make you forget all about it.
When a half-baked gink wants to
get a little cheap notoriety he imme
diately announces his candidacy for
some exalted office, and later contents
himself with humbly licking the plate
from which some better man has
eaten.
If the titled artistocrats who are
working in factories through national
necessity will keep right on working
after the war through self-respect,
then the horrors of this strife will
not have beenentirely in vain.
Resta drove a car 102 miles an
hour and won $10,000 by this stunt.
But that’s no sign he has the nerve
to straddle the hurricane deck of a
bucking broncho or the brains to edit
a country newspaper.
Our spiritual advisers tell us that
every human being is put on this
earth for some definite purpose, but
hanged if we can find any possible ex
cuse for the bloke who is too lazy
to work.
This beatuiful fall weather could be
appreciated a great deal more if our
streets were sprinkled. The wind is
not so bad, but the dust is something
awful. What do you think about it?
Loup City showed itself to be very
progressive some time ago when it
voted strong for the new court house.
Wonder if the will show the same
colors at the polls on November 9?
THE FESTIVE FARMER.
“Farm life is an ideal life,’” says Zim,
in Cartoons magazine, especially in
the story books and upon the theater
stage. The farmer is his own boss
and monarch of all the acres that are
not plastered with mortgages. He
arises with the little birds, hits up
the hard cider in the cellar, then hies
him thither to toy with the cattle, for
milking at four A. M. is one of the
joys of farm life. From the milking
stool he wends his way to the wood
pile and gleefully chops up a cord or
two before the breakfast call. When
the morning meal is over his real life
begins. Blended with the buzz of
rusty machinery, song and profanity,
the remaining eighteen hours are
whiled away. When the farm be
comes so impoverished that it will
| raise nothing but chin whiskers, he
J lets the mortgage holder do his
i worst.”
