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,.

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.

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,

Operation Upon Matthews.
Lincoln, Sept. 25. (Special.) 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.)
Hearing ot the squabble of federal and
state jurisdiction growing out of the
Nebraska rate case instituted last
week by the railroads of Nebraska
will be held next Saturday at Sioux
Falls, S. 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.
