HUMPHREY SCOFFS
At ADMINISTRATION
Republican Congressman Also
Chastises Marshall and
RedfieId.

Vice President Marshall and Secretary
Redfield were verbally chast!sed in the
House by Congressman William E.
Humphrey. a Washington Republican.
during his satirical speech on pros
perity' under Democratic rule. Mr..
Humphrey took as his text. ''pemoc-
racy's Psychological Panic" and pro-
ceeded to assail the Administration for
bringing about woeful business condi-
tions in this country.
He also ridiculed President Wilson'S
suggestion that business unrest in
psychological" asserting that millions
are out of work and hungry. and tina,
they need work and food and not more
laws.
Referring TO recent optimistic inter
views by the Vice President and the
Secretary of Commerce. Mr.. Humphrey
said:
I'VE have been told day after day
that business is good-never better; tina,
there is no depression; that there are nc
closed mills, and that there are no idle
men, by our friends on that side of the
House But now the President admits
that business depression Is widespread
ana universal throughout the country
In the sacred name Of outraged vir.

lacerated feelings will prenit, I wan,
- Protest against this reflection by the
President upon that tireless oratorical
oeinonstrator of efficiency, that vocal
creator of imaginary prosperity, tina,
circulating vocabulary Of the Admins
tration. that suaye sophist, the radiant
and serene Hon. William c. Redfeld
rA'hat is the use of this optimistic spout
er of twisted figures, that never met a
truth that he could not strangle nor a
fact that he could not vanish, daily
performing throughout the country,
demonstrating by doctored reports OF
Giscredited experts and by specially
prepared statistics our unexampled pres
perity If even the President will not
believe him?
Again 1 protest against the Presi-
dent contradicting that sedate and re-
firing gentleman who, when other mat
ters do not interfere, presides over
the deliberate deliberations of that
other legislative White House annex
at the other end of this Capitol.
The other day, when having his
hand properly held in a beauty par
lor, this modest man shrinkingiy de-
ciared that this nation was splendidly
PROSPEROUS and business universally
good What a fascinating female that
must have been to make the world look
so rosy to our own Thomas Riley.
But in all fairness let it be said that
the prosperity ecstacies enjoyed by
our brilliant and vo!uable Vice Presi-
dent on that auspicious occasion were
in all probability mostly ''psycholog-
lcal" Why should the President con-
tradict such prophets of prosperity as
Marshall and Redfeld, especially when
all three look upon the same facts
from the same angle and inspired by
a common hope?
