REPRESE NTAT|vE
AUSTIN CALLED
TOOL Of TRUST
Tennessee Congressman Ar
raigned on House Floor as
Betrayer of Constituents.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2o.-Represen-
tative Austin, Republican, of Tennessee,
was denounced by Representative Raj
ney, Democrat, of Illinois. on the floor
of the house today as being in the
service of the water power trust. Aus
tins resignation from the house was
suggested because of Austin's alleged
intention ito hand over the city o.
Knoxville, Tenn, and the constituents
of his district, bound and gagged, tt
the water power corporation"
Representative Rainey declared that
Representative Austin received $4,000
in stock for an investment of $21 from
the Knoxville Power Company. which
he afterward sold for $4,000 in cash.
Rainey continued;
II desire now to consider the Ten
nessee situation. The omnibus dam bill
provides II dams for the rivers of Ten
nessee Two of these dams are not to
be constructed in Representative Aus
tins district, but in the district of his
colleague, Mr.. Sells, who was without
knowledge of the bills until they were
presented on the floor of this house
Well Trodden Trail.
In my Investigation of the water
power trust, insofar as it relates to the
rivers of Tennessee. | find we'll trod-
den trail leading from the congression-
al office of the gentleman from Ten
nessee to the representative of the wa
ter power trusts. and for the benefit Of
the gentleman from Tennessee and 9TH
ers who may be interested in this sub
ject, | propose now to call attention to
the evidence he heretofore so vigorous
ly demanded that / produce"
Representative Rainey then offered
records which he asserted were proof
that Representative Austin was in the
employ of the water power trust.
Recently" concluded Mr.. Rainev.
the gentleman from Tennessee made
the statement that if ! could produce
proofs that he. Is a representative, ia
Vored the water power trust. he would
consider himself disgraced and would
resign. ] do not insist that the gentle
man resign from this body. | do not
think, however. that the cause of water
power conservation in Tennessee would
suffer if the gentlemans connection
! with this house would cease. The gen.
tieman will be missed if he resigns
however by water power trust Hobbies. 3"

THE CARTO0NIST STRIKES HOME

The power of printers ink has been
sung for generations, but the advent of
the cartoon as power in molding pub
lie opinion is matter of comparative
ly recent history.
Tenniel and other great cartoonists
of the Punch staff who made the faces
and figures of Disraeh and Gladstone
famous; Mast the cartoonist of Har-
per's Weekly who did more than any
one else to make Matt Quay execrated;
Opper, who is perennially amusing;
Outcault, creator of the famous "Yel-
low Kid and the still more famous
Buster Brown" and the whole Sun
day supplement tribe of illustrators
which have developed from the cartoon
idea; all these, with all their followers,
fellow-workers and imitators, have
originated within less than two gener-
ations what is practically a new de-
partment of artistic caricature. Thack-
cray, Cruikshank, Hogarth. were their
forerunners, but the newspaper car
toon has its own laws Of development
and its effective ways Of influencing
thought.
1t is much easier to glance at a
funny picture of Uncle Trusty" OF
King Bunk" than to read a long ar
ticle on the trusts or on the bosses
In few lines the clever draughtsmar
may express a whole political situa-

story will be read while many an able
