FREAR DISCUSSES DEMOGRATIC WASTE Congressman Analyzes Finan- cial Record of Administration with Its Southern Bias. SPEAKS ;T_ HAVELOCK Havelock, Neb., Sept. 25—(Spe- cial.)—Congressman James A. Frear of Wisconsin discussed the sectional record of the Wilson administration and the effect of the Underwood tariff act on industries of the United States. Mr. Frea: said in part: “We are advised by our democratic brethren that it is unkind to criticise the Wilson administration. ‘Don’t 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? Was it during Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Harrison, McKinley, | k Roosevelt or Taft’s administrations? All these presidents were assailed by democratic orators, who now beseech us not to knock. “History will record that the most ful administration from the days resident Washington down to Wilson is that of the present time. “Business prudence requires the adoption of a budget system to stop wholesale grabs from the public purse. ‘The democratic platiorm of 1912 and 1916 is silent on the subject. The re- publican platform demands its enact- ment as a check against extravagance and waste which characterizes this administration. South in Full Control. “No stream can rise higher than its source. It is the southern industrial and economic policy, 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. Every one knows that no re- publican or progressive can be elected n Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Ar- kansas, Texas, Alabama, South Caro- lint cr other southern states. Only one ticket generally is offered, and yet these states and other soithern states which contribute only about 7 per cent of the government’s revenues control every important sommittee assignment, with one single excep- tion. They are solid for 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 States during the last four years. With limited industrial progress, and comparatively little high-class labor, the south absolutely controls the gov- ernment’s pursestrings. Underwood Bill Sectigmtl. “The Underwood bill protected southern interests, from the Texas Angora goat to pineapples and pea- nuts. It cut to the hone when the great agricultural interests of the country were concerned. It slashed deep into tariff protection given to northern industries. That bill was a sectional bill. It promised to reduce the high cost of living, but it never reduced a single necessary one cent. 1t did close factories 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 competitors. Europeans, men, women and children, will again be competitors, and noth- ing can save us from the logical ef- fect of the Underwood law when that day comes. Our own factories will cease filling war orders and the con- sumer now .in the trenches will then be a competing producer for our own home market. The democratic plat- form declared the government has no constitutional right to levy duties ex- cepting for revenue. The markets of thi scountry are thus thrown open to the Japanese textile laborer, who earns 18 cents a day, and to every European laborer, while we seck to benefit or raise the standards of American labor by limiting hours of work and passing laws to raise the scale of 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 fact, taken from official sources: “The total value of importations for the year ending June 30, 1916, were $2,107,000,- 000. The total value of {mports for t republican year of 1913 reached only $1, 000,000. Under the Underwood act import tions increased §384,000,000 in one year, dis- placing mauy products of American labor: yet cugtoms receipts to the government fell If your skin is not fresh, smooth and glowing, or has suffered from an unwise \use of cosmetics, here is an easy, inexpensive way to clear it: Spread on a little Resinol Ointment, letting it remain for ten minutes. Then wash off ‘with Resinol Soap and hot water. Finish with & dash of clear, cold water to close the pores. Do this regularly, once a day, and see if it does not quickly soothe and cleanse the pores, lessen the tendency to pimples, and ‘eave the complexion clear, fresh and velvety. Resinol Soap and ol Ointment are sold by all druggists.

That is a straw from the southern Underwood 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 democrats in park barrel measures. Compared with prior appropriations the recent increase for extra defense rcached about $840,000,000 whi eaves $708,000,000 in round numbers in ss of the highe record ever reached in all our history. carnival of waste ha sed the buj 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 larke sum, however, must be added $50,000,000 more for a land reclamation bill carrying incr en $42,000,000 for southern land owners along the Mississippi river. It passed the house last session, but was held up by the admin stration until after election, and 1s the fore- runner of hundreds of millions proposed to be spent for the lower Mississippl under the delusive title of food control Pork Barrer Bill.

It Is about the size of the Platte river and has a thirty-seven lock and dam project on view. Nearly $2,000,000 has been wasted on this stream without producing one ton of commerce, as shown by official reports; yet it is only 10 per cent completed, and will require a half century to finish. A mo- tlon to strike out $250,000 given to this dry creelc was defeated in the senate by a vote of 31 to 20.. A change of one vote would have made it a tie, and Vice President Mar- shall would then haye voted to strike it out, because he was against the whole pork barrel. Senator FHitchcock voted to keep this $260,000 In the bill as shown by the Congressional Rocord of May 26, on page 9804, which also shows Norrls voting to strike it out. This is the stream on which Colonel Riche once proyosed artesian wells be drilled to help navigation, and Nebraska pays its share of the entire bill. Maguire’s Record. Congressman Maguire, in the Sixty-third congress, voted for the $53,000,000 river and Harbor pork barrel which was talked to death by republican senators, and while glv- ing the record, it is proper to say, Con- gressman Reavls, your present member, ald- ed in the fight against the 1916 pork bar- rel, and voted against it with 142 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 democratic platform provision concerning free tolls for domestic shipping through the Panama canal, and like the pledge given for Mr. Wilson by that platform to a single presidential term wo are continually reviewing a record of broken promises. I am informed some ex- cellent southern statesmen are to be brought into Nebraska to ‘convince you that they should be given a further lease of power. If so, would it not be well to ask such speakers where Nebraska comes in during this profligate waste record, when every important committce Is held by the south, with one exception. Theethirty-two im- portant committees include the judiclary, rules, agriculture, war, navy, interstato ways and means, banking, public lands, foreign relations, and a score of others in- cluding the three pork barrels of public buildings, floor control, and rivers and har- bors.

KENNEDY SPEAKS AT O'NEILL Hitchcock's Contention that: Wilson Is Issue Discussed in Ljght of Senator's Record. MUCH HUGHES SENTIMENT O'Neill, Neb., Sept. 25.—(Special.) {—John L. Kennedy of Omaha, repub- lican candidate for 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 wup his op- ponent’s proposition that Wilson is the issue, and found little consolation for IfTs 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 | grb artments, | He was roundly applaued 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- | Mr. Kennedy declared that he was| in favor of rural credits, but that in his opiniont 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, i 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, i Stelnaver, 4 p. m.; Burchard, v, Mayberry, 9:30 a. m.; Lewlston, Tate, 1 p. m.; Armour, 2 p. m.; Bookwalter, 4 p. m.

Lincoln, Sept. 25.—(Special.)—Leo Matthews, secretary of the Board of Control, underwent a minor operation Monday at a Lincoln sanitarium. His | condition will keep him from work for a week. THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, Congressman Reavis Unable to Sub for (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 25.—(Special.) 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 Con- 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 Correspondent.) Lincoln, Sept. 25.—(Special.)— Hearing of 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. D., together with a similar case from South Dakota. State of- ficers are expected to intervene in the South Dakota suit. , Key to Health Ends Oomtip‘aliofi—ool 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 ailments. Authorities state that at least 95 per cent of all disorders is directly or in- directly due to chronic costiveness. Sick headaches, “that tired feeling,” sal- lowness, pimples, blotches, sour stomach, biliousness, congested liver, mervousness, rheumatism, are a few of many troubles often caused by the poison absorbed from the waste matter in the intestines. Regular bowel movement carries this 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 success. Mild, non-griping, non-injurious. Tones you up, instead of wenkening you—and it contains no habit- forming element. Truly the ideal laxative. LAX-OLA is 25c a box—at Druggiste’. Meney back if not perfectly satisfied.
