Senator Says Commoner Tries

“Saintly” Because It
Backs Democrats.
(CoDtlnMd from Fu. On..)
saintly as soon as it backs democrats
for office. It i^i the old story, over
and over ag»i», showing the wonder
ful power of partisanship that warps
men's judgment and leads them to
do things and support men and meas
ures, that without the influence of
1 this sinister power, they would con
demn in burning words of denuncia
tion.
Bryan Does Not Deceive.
"And will such conduct deceive the
I people? Are not the people suffi
ciently intelligent to see through such
jumping and flopping, and will they
not be able e. dlecrimlnate at the
ballot box between honest minded
i men who do what they believe to be
right regardless of party control and
those who are clamoring for regu
larity and party solidarity?
"Mr. Bryan has for many years
led a conspicuous life in hehalf of
higher morals in government. His
eloquent tongue has pleaded from
thousands of rostrums In behalf of
down-trodden humanity, but he is as
completely blinded by partisanship as
the mole that burrows in the ground
beneath our feet. The good that he
lias been able to do during bis strenu
ous life would be multiplied many
thousand fold if the partisan scales
could be dropped from his eyes and
he could realize that the sins of in
iquity and selfish greed are so often
covered up by the mantle of partisan
politics.
"Partisanship has often made this
great leader not only inconsistent but
foolish. He could sleep all night on

The eenator aleo denounced the
democrats for the administration of
the law which eet the price of wheat
during the war. He said that it had
been the Intention of congress to
make the get price the minimum, not
the maximum, and he accused the
democratic administration of deliber
ately nullifying the Intent of con
grees, by making the set price a
maximum instead of a minimum
price. Referring to this chapter in
war-time history, the senator said:
Demos I'psrt Wheat Bill.
"During the war we fixed what
was intended to be the minimum
price of wheat. Congress passed the
law with the best of Intentions. It
was not Intended that the minimum
price should become the maximum
price, but it was offered as a guar
antee while the war was on, In order
to induce men to raise wheat with
the knowledge that they could have
a certain minimum price even if the
war ended before the crop was har
vested. Its very intention was to
increase the supply.
"It was a war measure, intended to
bring about an increase of food in or
der that the war might be carried to
a successful termination. The law
provided for the necessary machin
ery, placed in the hands of the execu
tive department, to carry out its
provisions. This power to give the
law effect tvas used by the executive
in building up a wonderful machine
which absolutely controlled the price
of wheat, with the result that the
minimum price was made, by execu
tive action, the maximum price, and
while (he prices of all other products
and for all other commodities were
allowed to soar according to the law
of supply and demand, the wheat
farmer was held down to this price
and deprived of billions of dollars of
income that would otherwise have
been his.
Raps Intermediate Credit Bank.
“The price of his labor, the charges
for his freight, the price of his ma
chinery, and everything else that he
had to buy, soared without limit, but
the product of the farmer was lim
ited in price and held strictly to what
was intended by congress to be only
a minimum price.
“Again, we ought to pause and con
sider for a moment the partisan as
pect. The machinery for carrying
out this law- was entirely in the
hands of the democratic administra
tion, and if those who believe in party
responsibility without any individual
responsibility are correct, then they
ought to admit that this unfair con
dition heaped upon the farmer, is
entirely and solely chargeable to the
democratic party."
The senator said that not all the
farmers' difficulties could be handled
by legislation. In this connection he
referred to the bill which he had in
troduced which would have estab
lished a giant government buying
and selling corporation to handle
farm products. He charged that the
''machines” in both parties combined
to defeat this bill. He charged also
that as substitutes the administra
tion had brought forward the plan
of the War Finance corporation to
loan money to farmers needing credit,
and the establishment of the inter
mediate credit banks, for the purpose
of aiding In the defeat of the bill
which he had introduced.
Criticizes Railroads.
Both of these measures, however,
he admitted had brought some bene
fit, but he insisted that his bill would
have really solved most of the farm
er's troubles by enabling the sale of
farm products in foreign countries
at a better price to the farmers and
a lower price to the consumers.
The Esch-Cummins law was re
ferred to and while he did not direct
ly charge that the figure set in that
law as a. proper earning for the rail
roads was a guarantee, he said he
would leave it to his audience to de
termine.
He severely criticised the railroads
and charged that they were the
“great middlemen'^ who were taking
a toll on all farm products sold, and
adding an additional toll on all prod
ucts that the farmers must buy. He
advanced his own remedy for this
situation—the establishment of a
government corporation with power
to condemn railroads, and to buy
them, and with power to build new
lines. He would not have complete
government ownership of all railroad
lines, but only the key lines. This,
he contended, would result in forcing
lower railroad rates.

Her Wonderful Teeth
Remove the dingy film that’* clouding yours and
you’ll be surprised that your teeth are just as white
and charming as any one’s—make this unique test.
HERE is a simple test that
proves the truth that most of
us have pretty teeth without ever
knowina w* have, or ever re
vealing it.
This is the reason:
Run yonr tongue across your
teeth, and you will feel a him. A
film which absorbs discolorations
and hides the natural color of
your teeth.
Remove it and your teeth take
on a new beauty. Maybe you
•have really beautiful teeth with
out realizing it.
Film is charged too with most
tooth troubles. It clings to teeth,
gets into crevices and stays.
! Germs breed in it. And they,
with tartar, are the chief cause of
pyorrhea.
So, besides loss of tooth beauty,
film is a serious danger to healthy
teeth. You must remove and con
stantly combat it. It is ever pres
ent. ever forming.
Old-time dentifrices were
unable to combat it successfully.
And tooth troubles were a seri
ous problem.
Now modem science has dis
covered a new way. A new-type
tooth paste railed I’epsodent that
acts to curdle film, then harm
lessly to remove it. No soap or
chalk, no harsh grit dangerous
to enamel.

uation, too, there should be govern
ment ownership of the key positions
for the purpose of controlling rates.
In this connection he covered the
issue of Muscle Shoals and the Ford
offer. He praised Henry Ford but
said he was opposed to letting him
have the water power developed at
Muscle Shoals for a. period of ope
hundred years. In this connection
he paid his respects to Senator “Pat''
Harrison of Mississippi. Harrison
helped to draft the water power plank
of the democratic party. In referring
to Harrison, he said:
“It is amusing to read the plank of
the democratic platform in regard to
our natural resources, and then to
realizes that some of the men who
drafted that platform have been most
active in trying to turn Muscle
Shoals over to Henry Ford. Kven the
great senator for whom I have a
very high personal regard, who trav
eled all the way from Mlslssippi to
Lincoln, Neb., to notify one of our
citizens that he had been nominated
for vice president, and who helped
to frame that particular plank, has
worked day and night while in the"
senate to turn this great natural re
source of the people over to a private
Corporation that would be organized
by Henry Ford."
Assents to World Court.
In International questions the sen
ator urged arbitration and seemingly
gave his assent to the World Court
in the following language: “I will
do everything within my power to
advance the settlement of interna
tional disputes in courts of reason,
rather than on the field of battle.”
He urged the elimination of “lame
duck congresses" and advocated pub
licity for income tax returns. He de
nounced tiie Versailles treaty.

suspected of selling booze.
