P. Morgan interests, the steel ship- building, and powder interests” had purchased control of twenty-five great newspapers to further the prepared- ness campaign, was made in the house vesterday by Representative: J. Hamp- ton Moore, a Pennsylvania republican. | Mr. Moore said Mr. Callaway had ob- tained unanimous consent to ‘extend Jhis remarks in The Record, and his charges had ‘not been read on the floor, “but buried in The Record.” “I question whether a single news- paper in the United States has taken cognizance of the remarks of the gen- tleman from Texas,” said Mr. Moore. “I believe they constitute a matter of high privilege. He said that unless some democrat ! introduced a resolution to investigate . the truth of the charges he would | offer such a resolution Following the Moore speech Con- gressman Callaway told interviewers that he could produce proof of his charges, and said Representative Tav- enner of Illinols would offer immedi- ately a resolution for an investigation of alleged inspired newspaper articles in Dbehalf of preparedness and par- ticipation in the European war. The Charges, Mr. Callaway’'s speech, as inserted in The Record, charged: “In March, 1915, the J. P. Morgan interests, the steel, shipbuilding and powder interests, and their sudsidiary organizations got together twelve men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select from the most influential papers in the United States a sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the United States. These twelve men worked the prob- lem out by selectng 179 newspapers and then began, by an elimination process, to retain only those necessary for the purpose of controlling the ger- eral policy of the daily press through- out the country. They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of twenty-five of the greatest new: papers. The twentv-five papers were agreed upon; emissaries were sent to purchase the policy, national and in- ternational, of these papers: an agree- ment was reached, the policy of the papers was bought, to be paid for by the month; an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information regarding the questions of preparedness, militarism, financial policies and other things of national and internatioal nature con- sidered vital to the interests of the _purchasers. “The contract is in existence at the present time and it accounts for the news columns of the dally press of the country being filled with all sorts of preparedness arguments and misrep- resentations as to the present condi- tion of the United States army and navy, and the possibility and proba- bility of foreign foes. “The policy also included the sup- pression of everything in opposition to the wishes of the interests served. The effectiveness of this scheme has been conclusivly demonstrated by the char- acter of the stuff carried in the daily throughout the _country since ch, 1915. “They have resorted to anything necessary to commercialize public sentiment and sandbag the national congress into makig extravagant and wasteful appropriations for the army and navy under the false pretense that it was necessary. Their stock argu- ment is ‘patriotism’. They are play- ing on every prejudice and passion of the American people.” Mr. Slayden asked Mr. Moore what he construed the word ‘‘sandbag” to mean. “It means to drive congress into a corner and make them believe we are —————————————————————— KEEP KIDNEYS ACTIVE WITH A GLASS OF SALTS Must flush your Kidneys occasionally if you eat meat regularly Noted authority tells what causes Backache and Bladder weakness. No man or woman who eats meat regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which clogs the kidney pores so they sluggishly fllter or strain only part of the waste and poisons from the blood, then you get sick.” Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, constipation, diz- iness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in the kidneys or your back hurts, or if the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sediment, irregular of passage or at- tended by a sensatien of scalding, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be- fore breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam- ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for gen- erations to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to neu- tralize the acids in urine so it no long- er causes irritation, thus ending blad- der disorders. Jad Salts is Inexpensive and can- not injure; makes a delightful effer- vescent lithia-water drink which all regular meat eaters should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and the blood pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

He quoted.an advertisement, signed by the American - Rights League, which began: | “To the American people: Germany is at war with the United States. The repudiation of past pledges and the threat to destroy our ships and citi- | zens constitute a virtual declaration of war. * * * It is no longer a ques- tionof whether there shall be war with® Germany. There is war with Germany.” Mr. Moore said that among the stgneny of the advertisement were Dr. Lyman Abbot and the Rev. Ran- dolph H. McKim, pastor of the church of the Epiphany of this city, and went | on to criticise the latter for his action | as to a minister of the gospel. Mr. | Moore then proceeded to declare his own neutrality. “I am neither pro-German, as some of the papers have recently insisted, nor pro-ally,” he said. “I am, as this congress ought to be pro-American and nothing else. “I want no dictation from Lloyd George, any more than from the Kaiser. I want no dictation from Lord Northcliffe, the head of the great and certain alliances in the United newspaper fraternity of Great Britajn States, any more than from Von Hindenberg. Mr. Moore charged that Sir Gilbert Parker was furthering pro-British propoganda in the United States. He produced a circular concerning the activities of Sir Gilbert, and asserted that “the Tories of the United States in 1917 are endeavoring to regain the ground they lost in 1776." Turning to the matter of trade Mr. Moore said: “We have provided in the interest of the great shippers a war risk bureau -which is guaranteeing safe conduct to munitions ships to only one of the belligerents. But we have approximately $2,000,000,000 of bonds of foreign powers, and unless the war is successful the money we have in- yested in these forelgn securities is lost.”" HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
