The Universal Remedy A noted physician has said that if humankind had every y Temedy ' taken away except “pure water, a great deal could still be done, as “pure water comes nearer than any other “one thing to being a universal remedy.” And the doctor real- izes, of course, that as long as there is pure water there can! be pure ice to make it cooling and refreshing. _American Ice is made from pure, filtered water and frozen in sanitary containers.

We shall begin the battle in the new Congress with renewed and in- creased enthusiasm and confidence inspired by our succesy in securing from the strong and influential Senate District committee®of the Sixty-sev- enth Congress a favorable report upon { our constitutional amendment, set- ting forth clearly, fully and convine- the reasons upon which the committec's approval of our amend- ment is based. Our Campalgn in the Houset It may be that our first battle in the | Sixty-elghth Congress will be before the House District committee, which has been considering in the Sixty- seventh Congress several propositions of municipal and territorial suffrage | for the District, and which, taking up quickly the general subject of suffrage in the District, may wish to consider the question in its broad- est aspects, including our proposition for national representation by con- | stitutional amendment. The Senate District Committee followed this line ! of procedure and insisted upon ha Ing before it for simultaneous con-| sideration all of the pending propos tions for District suffrage-—municipal, territorial and national. Washingtonian sons for its®enactment are well set forth in the concluding paragraphs of the Senate District committee's ap- proving report as follows: “The proposed constitutional amend- ment ‘does not reduce the power of Congress in respect to the Capital, but adds a new power; it does not propose the admission of the District into the Union as a soverelg state: it does not propose the destruction of the ‘ten miles square’ provision of the Constitution: it does not lessen in the smallest degree the control by the nation, through Congress, of what re- mains of the ‘ten miles square’; it does not disturb in any way the finan- clal relation of nation and Capital; it is not based upon either the aboll- tion or retention of the half-and-half law; it does not propose or involve changes in the mynicipal government of the District. A Dentinctife Bastc Right. “It plans to bestow upon the 437,000 Americans of the District a distinc- tive, basic right of the Amerlcan citizen—in a government of the peo- ple by the people for the people—in a government which roots its justice In consent of the governed—in a rep- resentative government which insepa- rably couples taxation and arms bear- ing ‘as a soldler with representation. “This distinctive American privilege decorates the American with a badge of honor and arms_him with power. Its lack slurs the Washingtonian as unfit and defdctive and slurs the na- tion as in this respect un-American and impotent. “What the amendment proposes is equitable in Itself and compulsory in accordance with American principles and traditions. “It gives to residents of the Dis- trict rights and privileges which, un- der our scheme of government, be- long to all who pay national taxes and fight as national soldiers. “It gives to residents of the Dis- trict a self-protecting power in the national councils which is denied to the resident of no other community in all of the mainland and contiguous United States from Maine to Texas and from New York to California. “In the matter of access to the federal courts it raises District resi- dents from a lower plane than that of allens to the status of citizens of a state.

J. Ernest Dulin, master of La Fay- | ette, proved a gracious host and was particularly pleased when commend- ed for the progress recorded during his term of office, Prior to visiting La Fayette Lodge the grand master and Grand Lodge of- ficers made. their annual official call on Congress Lodge, No. 37, Edwin Smith, master, the second youngest of the constituent lodges of this ju- risdiction, ~Congress, was warmly congratulated on having every mem- ber ‘enrolled as a subscriber to the United Masonic Temple fund, on the excellence of its degree work and on the substantial advance along all lines noted during the year. ‘The next visitation of the current series will be Monday evening, No- vember 19, to Pentalpha_Lodge, No. 23, at 8 o'clock, and to Benjamin B.

Scett & Bowne, Bloomseld, N. J. -6 At Next Session, Says Borah Senator Raps Waste of Public Money in Face of Soldier Burdens Will Reduction of taxes at the next ses- sion is the “plain. immediate and im- perative duty” of Congress, Senator Borah, republican, 1daho, declared in a statement published today. in which i{he asserted the evil effect of the pres- ent burden, both economically and morally, demanded a downward re- vision. What he saw as the present policy of republican organization leaders in Congress to delay a reduction of taxes must certainly prevail, Senator Borah said, unless those favoring re- duction go to work on an affirmative program. If they do not, he declared, in all probability the next session will see an increase instead of a decrease in public expenditures and taxes. Noting a “strong indicatign” that the taxpayer himself is about to “turn upon his torturer,” Senator Borah warned that it “may prove a hazard- ous enterprise for a Congress to face a constituency next year upon which it has piled vast sums, ifi addition to what that constituency already Is wrestling with.” . Pointing to estimates of a possible margin for 'a tax reduction of from $350,000,000 to $500,000,000, the Idaho senator asked, “Upon what possible theory can we say to the taxpayers of the country it is possible to take $500,000,000 off the load you are car- rying, but we will not do so." Waste Profiagacy. An additional evil of *“continued waste and proflagacy at the Capital. Senator Borah said, would be its dis- couragement of economy by the states, where, he declared, there had been “some of the most flagrant and fearful increases in taxes” to add to the burden. “We have undoubtedly,” the senator sald, “reached a point where taxes are not only discouraging to enter- prise, but actually desructive in many instances and in many ways.” We are advised that it is practical- 1y possible to reduce taxes from $350,000,000 to $500,000,000. Senator Smoot, always an advocate of econ- omy, thinks the reduction may go to the extent of $500,000,000. To cut down the government's expenditures and the tax burden to the amount of $500,000,000 would mean much more than the actual amount indicates. It would be of almost incalculable psy- chological value, giving assurance to the country that Congress was at last considering the Interest of those who must pay the bills. * * ¢ “When city, county, state and fed- eral taxes are included the taxpayers of this country carry a burden which I doubt can be equaled anywhere olse. The evil effect of this, econom- ically and morally, cannot well be overestimated. * * * We have un- doubtedly, without exaggeration, Something new—very hard soft coal screened to anthra- cite stove size—no dust or T 510 One Customer Writes Us: “Magic Stove Coal is the best coal for the least money I have ever used—no dust or dirt like other lump coal I have used.
