s Nebraska FREAR DISCDSSES DEMOCRATIC WASTE Congressman Analyzes Finan cial Record of Administration with Its Southern Bias. SPEAKS .T HAVELOCK Havelock, Neb., Sept. 2S.-r-(Spe cial.) Congressman James A. Frea: of Wisconsin discussed the sectional record of the Wilson administration and the effect of the Underwood tariff ct on industries of the United States- Mr. Frear said in part: "We are advised by our democratic brethren that it is unkind to criticise the Wilson administration. 'Don' knock,' they say. When did the de mocracy first learn the new Golden Rule which would prohibit criticisms of the bungling and wasteful Wilson administration r Was it during Grant, Hayes, Garfield. Harrison, McKtnley, Koosevelt or lafts administrations All these presidents were assailed by democratic orators, who now beseech us not to knock. "History will record that the most wasteful administration trom the (lav of President Washington down to Wnson is that or the ores.ent time. "Business prudence requires th adoption of a budget system to stop whole sale grabs tram the public purse. The democratic platform of 1912 and lyio is silent on the subject, ihe re publican platform demands its enact ment as a check against extravagance and waste which characterizes this administration. N South in Full Control. "No stream can rise higher than its source. It is the southern industrial and economic policv. or lack of pol icy, that controls legislation today. It is not sectionalism when I say the solid south is no accident. It is not waving the bloody- shirt to protest against every important democratic chairmanship being assigned to the south. Jivery one knows that no re- publican or progressive can be elected in Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Ar kansas, Texas. Alabama, South Caro lint or other southern states. Only one ticket generally is offered, and yet these states and other southern states which contribute only about 7 per cent of the government's revenues minim every liuuuriaui summiuee assignment, with one single excep tion. Ihey are solid tor Mr. Wilson Mr. Bryan, Mr. Parker or any other democrat. They invite northern dem ocrats to help gather plums, but when it comes to determining policies or legislation thirty-one committee chair manships from the south determine the issue. "A secret democratic caucus, domi nated by such influences has been in control of the congress of the United btates during the last four years, With limited industrial progress, and comparatively little high-class labor, the south absolutely controls the gov- Underwood Bill Sectiqnal. "The Underwood bill " protected southern interests, from the Texas Angora goat to pineapples and pea nuts. It cut to the bone when the great agricultural interests of the country were concerned. It slashed deep into tariff protection given to northern industries, lhat bill was a sectional bill. It promised to reduce the high cost of living, but it never reduced a single necessary one cent. It did close lactones prior to the war. but when Europeans left their facto ries for the trenches our own factories were compelled to help supply those who were formerly our comoetitors. Europeans, men, women and children, will again be competitors, and noth ing can save us trom the logical ef fect of the Underwood law when that day comes. Our own factories will cease tilling war orders and the con sumer now in the trenches will then be a competing producer for our own home market. The democratic plat- torm declared the government has no constitutional right to levy duties ex cepting tor revenue. 1 he markets ot thi scountry are thus thrown open to the Japanese textile laborer, who earns 18 cents a day, and to every European laborer, while we seek -to benefit or raise the standards of American labor by limiting hours of work and passing laws to raise the scale ot wages. Will Sure Reduce Hours. "The Underwood bill will effectu ally limithours of work to less than eight hours as soon as the European war stops the present abnormal de mand. No thinking wageearner, whether on the farm or in the factory, can fail to understand the following lact, taken irom otticial sources: "The total value ot Importations for the year ending June 30, 1916, were 12,197.000.. 000. The total value of Imports for the last republican year of 1913 reached only $1,813,. 000,000.

"We lost over $100,000,000 in reve nues in one year and displaced Ameri can labor with a large increase in im portations. That is a straw from the southern I'nderwood law." Former Shopman. Congressman Frear was a former shop employe himself. He earned the first money for a college education in the railroad shops in Wisconsin. He made a big impression with the shop men in Havelock. Congressman Frear went into de tail to show the extravagance df democrats in park barrel measures. Compared with prior appropriation tho recent Increase for extra defentm rcarhctf about 1340,000,000 which leaves $709,000,000 in round numbers In exroM of the highest record ever reached in all our history. This carnival of waste haa increased the' burden of oppressive taxation. Income tax, In heritance tax and war tax which Is gen erally in times of peace nearly 20 per cent on the average over and above public de fense items. To this extraordinarily large sum, however, must be added $60,000,000 more fbr a tand reclamation bill carrying, $42,000,000 for southern land owners along the Mississippi river. It passed tho house last session, but was held up by the admini stration until after election, and Is the fore runner of hundred of millions proposed to be spent for the lower Mississippi under the delusive title of food control. Pork Barrel Hill. Then we have the $35,000,000 democratic public pork barrel Introduced Inst' session which awaits passage next Pec-ember. It gives a public building of $40,000 to Hazard, Ky., which has 537 population, Eminence. Ky.; Falmouth. Ky.; Mount Olive, N. C; Roseville, Ga.; Clear Water, Fla., all names of southern cross-roads selected at random, which face handsomely, with an average population of exactly 1,157 people. Is that pork and profligate waste? 1b It lambasting democrats to show where your money In going? Two N'ehraflkans Helped. Two of your Nebraska legislators aided In this profligate waste, according to the record. I am simply quoting from the record In making this observation. One of the most notorious Items In the river and harbor pork barrel Is the Trinity river, Texas, which, according to Representative Calloway of Texas, and army engineers, can be waded eight mouths of the year. It Is about the size of the Platte river and has a thirty-seven lork and dam nroieet on view. Nearly lit, 000, 000 has been wasted on this stream without producing one ton or commerce, as snown by oinclal reports: yet It is only 10 per cent completed, and will require a half century to finish. A mo tion to strike out $250,000 given to this dry creek was defeated, in the senate by a vote of 81 to 29.. A change of one vote would have made it a tie. and Vice President Mar shall would then have voted to strike It out, because he was aicalnst the whole pork oarrei. senator imcncocK votea to keep this $260,000 In the bill as shown bv the Congressional Record of May 26, on page 9804, which also shows Norrla voting to strike It out. This Is the stream on which Colonel Riehe once proyosed artesian wells be drilled to help navigation, and Nebraska pays us snare or tne entire bin. Magntre's Record, Congressman Magulre, In the Sixty-third congress, voted for the $Ei3, 000,000 river and Harbor pork barrel which was talked tr death by republican senators, and while giv ing the record. It is proper to say, Con gressman Reavis, your present member, aid ed in the fight against the li pork bar re I, and voted against It with 1 42 other members of the house. Is it lambasting democrats to give the record vote on such notorious bills? When confronted with such extravagance recorded by this administration, we also learn of thousands of new Jobs that carry millions of dollars annually for deserving democrats like the democrat to platform provision concerning free toll for domestic shipping through the Panama canal, and llko the pledge given tor Mr. wllnon by that platform to a single presidential term we are continually reviewing a record of broken promises. I am informed some ex cellent southern statesmen are to be brought Into Nebraska to Vonvlnce you that they should be given a further lease of power. If so, would it not be well to ask such speakers where Nebraska cornea in during this prorilgate waste record, when every important committee Is held by the south. with one exception. The thirty-two Im portant committees Include the judiciary, rules, agriculture, war. navy, interstate ways and means, banking, public lands, foreign relations, and a score of other In cluding the three pork barrels of public buildings, floor control, and rivers and har bors. It Is a startling record, which carries Its own argument, and It controls In secret as well as In publto through the closed caucus. JOHN L. KENNEDY SPEAKSAT O'NEILL Hitchcock's Contention that Wilson Is Issue Discussed in Ight of Senator's Record. MUCH HUGHES SENTIMENT How to Cure Colds, void exposure and drafts. Eat right Take Dr. King's New Discovery. It kill and destroys the cold germs. All druggists. Advertisement, O'Neill, cb Sept. 25.-(Special.) John L. Kennedy of Omaha, repub lican candidate (or United States sen ator, left here this morning for points in southern Nebraska, after a four days' campaign in Boyd, Keya Paha, Rock and Holt counties which closed here last night when Mr. Kennedy ad dressed a large gathering in the van vass tabernacle. Mr. Kennedy took up his op ponent's proposition that Wilson is the issue, and found little consolation for liTs opponent in this contention, since Mr. Hitchcock's attitude on most questions during the last two years has been adverse to and em bararssing to President Wilson. Mr. Kennedy observed that in theory our government is made up of three great departments, the legislative, the judi cial and the executive departments. He was roundly applauaed when he pointed out that President Wilson had. during the last two years, gone completely outside the proprieties of such a form of 'government in usurping the functions of the people's law makers in bringing about legisla tion. Mr. Kennedy declared that he was in favor of rural credits, but that in his opinior) the present bill is de fective in that it requires too much red tape, and appears to be drawn for the benefit of the lender down east rather than the rural borrower of the west. It is an attempt to apply the ideas of McAdoo, a New Yorker, to conditions peculiar to Nebraska and the west. In Rock and Holt counties there is much Hughes sentiment, and all references to the head of the repub lican ticket bring forth applause. Mr. Kennedy spoke for the national and state republican tickets here. On Monday September 25, Mr. Kennedy and Congressman C. F. Ravis will begin a tour of three days and will visit the following places in the First congressional district: Monday, Dubois, 10:30 a. m.; Table Rock, 1 : SO p. m.; Btelnauar, 4 p. m.; Burchard, 7:30 p. m.

Leo Matthews, secretary of the Board of Lontrol, underwent a minor operation Monday at a Lincoln sanitarium. His condition wilt keep him from work for a week. Congressman Reavis Unable to Sub for Borah in Wyoming (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 25. (Special.) Con gressman C. F. Reavis has declined an invitation from the republican na tional speakers' bureau to go to Sheridan, Wyo., and speak on Wednesday of this week in place of Senator Borah of Idaho, who was billed there but could not go. Owing to the face that Congress man Reavis is busy with his own campaign he could not leave the First district, as he has his own speaking engagements laid out to cover most of this week. The republican national committee has 150 speakers at its disposal, and Mr. Reavis' friends consider it a de cided compliment to him that he was asked to substitute for Senator Bo rah at an important speaking point The congressman has announced that he will devote all of his time in the campaign to his home district. Nebraska Rate Hearing To Come Before Judges (From a Staff Corespondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 25. (Special.)

V., together with a similar case from south Dakota. Mate of ficers are expected to intervene in the boutn Dakota suit.. Why "Lax-ola" Is Key to Health Ends Constipation, Root of Many Evils If people generally appreciated the serious ness of constipation, and how to really over come this distressing condition, they would know how to rid the world of most of its ailment. Authorities state that at least 911 per cent of all disorder is directly or in directly due to chronic costivenets. Sick headaches, "that tired feeling," sat lowneas, pimple, blotches,, sour stomach, biliousness, congested liver, nervousness, rheumatism, are a few of many troubles often caused by the poison absorbed from the waste matter in th intestines. Regular bowel movement carries thi poison out of the system, stops constipation and so is a preventive of many diseases. To create a normal bowel activity, take a LAX-OLA tablet every night for a few nights. You will feel like a new being. It's the best way. LAX -OLA Is that wonderful chocolate flavored tonic -laxative that is meeting with such splendid sueces. Mild, non-a-rinina-. non -injurious. Tones you up, instead of weakening you and It contains no hablt forming element Truly the ideal laxative. LAX-OLA la 25c m box at Druggiata'. Meney back If not perfectly satisfied.
