MARE REPUBLICAN SPEECHES
Addresses on Situation Made to
Douglas County League.
REVIVAL' APPARENT IN NATION
Victor- Hoseirater, nolirrt Smith and
John I. Kennedy DIsenM Matters
at Intereat In View at Com
Inn Campaign.
Victor Rosewater, Robert Smith and
John Jj. Kennedy addressed a meeting of
the Douglas County Republican lcagu
at Barlght hall last night. Mr. Rose
water spoke of the Indication ot re
publican revival all over the country, and
discussed the southern representation to
some extent.
Robert Smith urged the republicans to
attend the meetings of the leaguu and
keep in touch with the affairs of the or
ganization so that It wight not be
charged as usual in such organizations
that two or three members are running
the affair. He charged the democrats
with being incapable of dealing with the
tariff situation, and said, "We're stand
ing for a government strong enough to
give all the citizens Justice."
John I Kennedy spoke of the harmony
that now exists in the republican Party,
saying the party Is together now and
that it cannot be pulled apart. Touching
also on the democratic administration,
he said, "You cannot govern a country
on wrong principles. Tou can't govern
a country on good Intentions, but that Is
about all we have had for a while. He
declared It was the republican tariff that
had been the making of the western
country and he is afraid of the Argen
tine corn shipped into New York harbor.
"I'm tired of wish-washy legislation,"
he declared. "Talk about tariff for rev
enue only. Why, God bless you, it It
weren't for the Income tax and a few
other taxes they wouldn't even have
revenue." He gave President Wilson
credit for being a man of good intentions,
and being a scholarly man, but he was
sorry because the president Old not have
practical knowledge of the subject of
running a government.
Touching the Mexican situation he
found occasion to criticise and declared:
"If I had the army and navy at my
command Td protect every American
citizen everywhere."
Speaking of the outlook politically he
said: "The thing for us to do Is to get
control of the house this fall, and then
lay the foundation for getting control of
the senate and the White House two
years hence."
Chicago Builders
Say Union Agents
Are Blackmailers
CHICAGO, June 26. Representatives
of the building contractors of Chicago
were directed by the United Btates dis
trict attorney to appear before the
federal grand Jury today with whatever
evidence they had that the contractors
had been systematically blackmailed by
agents of the labor unions. John J. Mc
Laughlin, state representative was ex
pected to be the principal witness on
behalf of the contractors.
Without accusing the labor unions,
which they say have been defrauded
and used as tools by dishonest business
agents, the contractors declare that
extortion of sums of J500 to $100,000 has
played a part In every large construc
tion Job In this city In recent years. The
demand for federal aid was precipitated
by the killing Wednesday ot George
Hammond, a union business agent, by
Patrick Dignan, a contractor.
DIgnan surrendered yesterday. He
told the police that he had been hounded
by Hammond.
Labor leaders today declare that the
charges brought by McLaughlin and
others were fraudulent. It was a prac
tice of certain contractors, they said,
to attempt to bribe union agents to tie
up other contractors in strikes. In the
cross fire of frauds aiQ briber', the
labor men declared, the contractors were
active and profited more than did dis
honest union agents.

Summer" Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption
Aa undua mimmftr eXDOSure Usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan,
dust or grease, often freckles, too, 11 Is
more sensible to remove such surface
than to hide It with cosmetics. There s
nothing better for this than oidlnary
mercollzed wax, which actually absorbs
an unwholesome complexion. The tliln
layer of surface akin Is itself absorbed,
gently, gradually, so there's no incon
venience, no detention Indoors. Spread
the wax lightly over the entire face at
bedtime and take It off In the morning
with warm water. If you will get one
ounce of mercollzed wax at the drug
store, use for a week or so. you may
expect marked Improvement dally. When
the underlying skin Is wholly In view
your complexion will be a marvel of
spotless purity and beautiful whiteness.
'Don't let those summer wrinkles worry
you; worry breeds more wrinkles. Banish
them by bathing the face In a solution
ot powdered saxollte. 1 oz., dissolved In
u pt. witch hazel. Used daily for awhile
this will be found wonderfully effective.

In the building, hot weather Is demon
strating that they are far from comfort
able in the summer and the fans which
have been placed In many of them have
not solved the proposition of cooling the
atmosphere.
As a result most of the departments
are moving to temporary quarters down
on the third nnd second floors, so that
all havo been vacated except those on the
four corners, where there la a chance to
get the outside breezes. However, Gen
eral Hall, who was forced to move to
the northwest rooms against bis will, Is
still of the opinion that the move was a
bad one, and In this he Is reinforced by
Major Haysol, whose office Is In one ot
the inside rooms where there Is little
chance for air from the outside, and has
made application to the board for the
privilege of putting up tents on the lawn.

STATE BOARD HARVESTS
TWENTY ACRES OF WHEAT
(From a Btaff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, June 26. (Rpeclal.)-Tho
Nebraska State Board of Agriculture in
harvesting Its wheat crop.
Superintendent William Foster and his
men began cutting Thursday evening.
The wheat was planted last fall on the
twenty acres which Is used for a trac
tor exhibit east of the fair grounds.
The stand was heavy, the growth rank.
Some of the wheat lodged during the
heavy rains of the last two weeks. With
I'thlrt exception the results promise to be
Ideal.
Superintendent Foster last night dis
played a number of heads of wheat which
yielded sixty-four grains of wheat to the
head. A conservative estimate for the
whole tract was an average of forty
bushels to the acre.
"Nebraska will have a bumper wheat
crop," declared Mr. Foster, "I believe
It Is merely a matter of getting the wheat
to market now, 1 did not believe that
the record of last year could be beaten,
but I am now convinced that 1914 ia the
biggest wheat year in the history of Nebraska."
