Then as to the Currency Bill-Mr
Hardwick says he was in "hearty SYM
pathy with its purposes" Only he
opposed it-save me from such hearty
sympathies.'
Just this time last year there was a
panic and money could hardly be
borrowed on any security-Evidence

Wilson and his leaders and advisers
urged this law as a relief 1t establish
ed territorial independence. 1t became
law. Observe the difference be-
tween now and last summer.
While President Wilson was fighting
with all his power for the Currency
Bill, Congressman Hardwick fought
him on the floor of the House, not in
caucus, in the following language:
"They (The Democratic Members)
out-voted us, and here l am, as my
friend from Illinois would say Hog
tied but for the sake of my future
reputation, and to make my present
position plain, want to put myself on
record here, saying publicly that l am

not like and did not help to frame it."
He favored the Express Companies
on the Parcel Post and opposed Pres
ident Wilson and the Democratic
Party. This Currency Bill renders
available at once ten million dollars
for farm loans.
Why did he favor the money pow
ers and oppose President Wilson and
the Democratic Party on the Currency
Bill? What confusing, technical spec
ial pleading does he offer on this? The
result is that he is again found on the
side against his constituents. His
conduct offers another argument why
long absence in Washington with a
gentleman of his makeup has demon
strated that sympathy with a people
through living in their midst is SUPER
ior to that experience which gives a
place on the Weights and Measures
Committee and the Committee on

Lamar Lauds Clean Newspaper

Newspapers which, like The Times,

swtndlers and give publicity 10 the
fraud orders and other efforts OF the
government to clip the wings of these
human birds Of prey, are praised in
the annual report Of w. H. Lamar.

just made public.
During the year ending June 80 last
46 fraudulent concerns were put out
OF business by the department. Many
OF them were medical quacks whose
operations were brought to the atten-
ton OF the government by the ex
posures published by newspapers.
ouacks Rely on Advertising.
However much the public may ap-
preciates the work done In excluding
fraudulent concerns from the mails.
and however much the advertising
agents and publishers may realize the
justice OF II, the fact remains that
these concerns do pay an enormous
amount for advertising" Solicitor La
mar says. I'm fact, that is by far
their greatest expense. In one case
the evidence showed that several hun
dred thousand dollars had been paid
for advertising during q period OF
18 months. as high as $4,000 having
been paid In single month. and 1t
was developed in a number Of cases
that fabulous amounts have been
spent for this purpose.
1T will be readily seen, therefore,
that the financial interests OF some
publications will be seriously affected
by the loss OF this class OF advertising
ff the loss is not made up In another
way. and II Is not expected that hearty
cooperation can be enlisted at once
from all publishers.
Praise for Clean Newspapers.
I'm this connection II Is worthy of
note that some newspapers have
studiously avoided publishing any
matter relating TO the issuance OF
fraud orders. The reasons assigned
for this course by some Of such news
papers Is that they fear libel suits.

born in 1893. In Montreal. where she
was educated in the Convent of Notre
