SENATOR SMOOT ON
DEMOCRATIC PROMISES
The Utah Senator Calls Attention to the Broken
Platforms and Heavy Appropriations by
the Democratic Congress.

In The United States Senate Sept
ember 3, Senator Reed Smoot again
called attention to broken party
platforms and to the heavy appro-
priations by the Democratic Con-
gress. Senator Smoot also directed
attention to the fact that when he
made his prediction at the opening
of the present session of Congress
that the appropriations would exceed
those Of the last Republican Con-
gress by 500, 900, 900 he was taken
to task by the junior senator from
North Carolina. who declared that
he would have to apologize to the
Senate for his statement. II think
an apology now ought to come from
the other side of the chamber" said
Senatar Smoot.
Senator Smoot declared that the
Democrats had broken their party
platform repeatedly and had failed
in many instances to carry out their
pledges to the people as laid down
in the Baltimore platform. Here
the plank of the Baltimore platform
on simplicity aud economy" was
read into the record. This plank il
as follows:
I'VE denounce the profligatt
waste of the money wrung from thu
people by oppressive taxation
through the lavish appropriations o
recent Republican congresses, whicl
have kept taxes high and reduces
the purchasing power Of the people
toll. We demand a return to tina
simplicity and economy which befit
a democratic government and re
duction in the number of useless Of
fees, the salaries of which drain tn
substance of the people"
This is only one of about doze
planks in the platform that has bee
repudiated and violated" said SEM
tor Smoot. Continuing, he said:
Il do not want the statement
Senator Simmons to go through Il

Y THE broad Vistula river, on
ancient Poland's soil, lie two
famous age-torn cities, around
which have centered the rise
and fall OF one OF the mightiest
nations in history. Before their gates
and within their walls have been
fought the battles of armies unnum-
bered and for a thousand years they
have known the sorrow OF death and
destruction-and ofttimes the glories
OF victory. In the valley Of the stream
whose banks they adorn a new con-
fiict is raging today. On the outcome
OF this struggle may rest their fate
in the years that aro yet unborn, says
the Philadelphia Record.
Cracow and Warsaw, the cities are
one the capital OF Poland's kings
when the nation was in its prime;
the second the home of that glorious
hero. Kosciusko. who led the people
in their bloody war for independence
after invaders had seized their
land Through the centuries OF
NhtH iA'
dark years of grief the beautiful
old towns have nurtured and cherished
the ideals OF the Polish people. and
today they house the only remaining
relics OF that once proud nation which
long since ceased TO exist.
