INDEFIANT M0GD Replies to Criticism Made of Administration by Hos- tile Democracy. “The republican national committee, with headquarters in this city, is starting In with the new year In militant and aggressive spirit and is hurling back the javelins of criticism 2nd allegation cast by the hostile de- mocracy in Congress at the repubt lican party end the administration. It denles that the republican party nas ceased to be the patron of pros- verity and insists that every day in every way business is getting better and better. In a statement sent out by the com- - mittee it is claimed that ‘ghe year 1923 is ushered in under véry opti- mistic clrcumstances. In this con- nection it is impossible to refrain from calling attention to the direful and doleful statements made by the democratic opponents of the adminis- tration during the last campalgn, to the effect that the republican party had fajled to bring about good times; that it was no longer the party of Dprosperity, that this administration and, this Congress had done nothing to hasist labor, industry, business, finance and agriculture toward a re- turn to normal, prosperous times. Called “Small, Partisan Charges.” “The universal reports of all lines of business and industry, as set forth in the columns of the press of the country and in the trade journals at the close of the year, completely re- fute the small partisan charges made against the administration during the recent campaign. No one can soberly - contemplate the condition of all kinds of business today, in comparisop with what it was when the republican ad- ministration came into power, and not know, in his own mind, that there has been ‘a tremendous change for the better.” ¢ The statement goes on to cite facts and figures to support this contention, which is likely to inspire in Cordell Hull, chairman of the democratic na- tional committee lively incredulity and incite him to take pen in hand -and come back with a vigorous re- buttal. Savings Increased. “Deposits in national banks and savings banks increased during the Year and postal savings increased. Notwithetanding gréat strikes in three basic industries—mining, trans- portation and textiles—unemployment practically disappeared during 1922. 7t was not an exaggeration to assert ihat no man honestly in search of work at a living wage but can obtain the same today. According to the Teports of the census bureau, the av- erage wage for common labor is 63 gns!r higher today than it was in 1916." The statement goes on to give de- talls in various linés of trade and manufacture, all optimistic. Then the sad note; all is not well agriculture. ~ “Although _the farmer ralsed a tremendous crop in 1922, says the statement, “and re- ceived on an average 17 per cent more for his products than he did in -1831, agrioulture as a whole did not keep pace with the improvement in other lines of business. . “This is because the purchasing power of the money he received was not as great as the purchasing power of the income of other industries. To oftset this, however, the farmer is able to maintaln practically unlimited Credits to carry him over, and there is not the least doubt that there will he additional legislation,.both in the halls of Congress and ihwarious leg- islatures, looking to the easement of ‘conditlons in agricultural sections.” e NOW ITS SHAKESPEARE. New Vogue Brings Julia Arthur Back Into Limelight. NEW YORK, January 12—Shake- speare, having assisted in crowding the bedroom farce from the legitl ‘mate stage, has invaded vaudeville. With three Broadway houses pr ducing Shakespeare pleces to ca- pacity nightly, a fourth performance on the road and about to enter New York and two repertoire troupes soon to present the Avon bard's works, Julla Arthur ,dramatic actress, today announced that she would play the closet scene from “Hamlet” in vau- deville. She will make her New York appearance next month, affer a two- week tour of the “sticks.” The present renaissance establishes an American record of Shakespearean production, producers amd actors say.

BEJEWELED BSAGES IN CAPITAL WITH PLEA AGAINST “POVERTY” Lo, the poor Indian! In particular, 1o, the poor Osage! 5 He can no longer live in the style in which he has been accustomed on the measly $4,000 which is doled out yearly to every man, woman and child of his tribe. So quite a few of him, accompanied by squaws and nu- merous progeny, have come to Wash- ington to tell Congress all about the disgraceful, excruciating poverty. Old H. C. L has dealt the Osage Indians, once ranked as the richest class of people in Amefica, not ex- cluding Hollxwood's galaxy of movie stars, a solar plexus blow. ° Custom- made limougines, preferably with lav- ender stripés, come higher now, you know, than they did several years ago. The same way with diamonds and silk shirts. Congressional rep- resentatives who “tin-lizzied” their way to where the committee met be- fore which the Indians testified, are sald to have wept briny tears over stricken plight. They fairly danced in pigeon-toed fashion as they returned to their hotel after having testified before the com- mittee. “The chairman, he's.all yright,” bel- lowed one big fellow, who was rather large and very their poverty- | misappropriately named Little Puma. He flourished a huge, oily looking black cigar with a hand flashing headlight diamonds. He wagged his head in ex- | uberance over the apparent success of | the tribe members at the committee meetings and the feathers upon his head; | the rings in his ears and his braldeq | pigtails waved and rattled in bewilder- | ing_fashion. . It was rather disconcerting to hear the Indians laugh with such bolsterous- | ness, as the writer had thereupon to dislodge a tenacious notion that Indians | never laughed or even smiled, a notion garnered from those dignified and sol- emn wooden Indians who used to guard the doorways of cigar stores. But these | Osages threw back their huge heads and ! let out guffaw after guffaw in high glee. They scented success in the alr and were sure that Congress will raise the ante. If they strove to im- press themselves on casual observers failed_superbly. The 'silver or plati num wrist bands, which they wore, the wonderfully wrought ornaments that adorned their necks, the beads, the opals, diamonds and rubles that appeared promiscuously upon their persons, the gorgeously colored blankets wrapped about them and the silk shirts—oh, especlally the silk shirts—eould hardly be considered in the-same class with the rags and tat- ters of the conventional beggar. = EDMONSTON’S Home of the and Children.

The per capita consumption in 1921 was placed at 88.26 pounds. Figures were based on a population of 110,000,000, The total amount of sugar con- sumed during the year was 5,010,- 767 tons, an increase‘of 173 per cent over the 4,275,081 tons con- sumed In 1921 ' In addition, the bulletin said $20,000 tons of re- fined sugar were exported to, sixty different countries. 2 About one million one hundred thousand tons of domestic beet and cane sugar were consumed without passing through the re- fineries. United States refiners melted 5,150,407 tons, which was 1,646,227 tons more than the melt- ings of 1921, the report adds. ‘Che exports represented sugar melted in excess of requirements for do- mestic consumption. The exported quantity ‘was much larger than any amount ever exported from this country before. Interesting F lower Specials For Saturday Only . Blooming .
