SLOAN DISCUSSES
RIGHTS OF HOUSE
Method Used to Force Adam
son Bill Through Direct Blow
to Free Government.
MEMBERS GIVEN ORDERS

Aurora, Neb., Oct. 2.-(Special,) y
In his address before the Aurora
Young Mems Christian association
Sunday afternoon Congressman
Charles H. Sloan declared that the
implied demand of the four repre-
sentatives OF organized labor for the
enactment of the so-called eight-hour
law and the enactment of that law
by congress in compliance with that
demand was the hardest blow repre-
sentative government has had in a
century. Mr.. Sloan described the va
rious means whereby the power of
the house OF representatives has been
undermined by presidents, senate and
outside influences in the past. He
insisted that every blow at the house
of representatives is a blow at the
liberties of the people.
Mr.. Sloan described the present
house OF representatives and its lead
ers, referring specifically to Speaker
Champ Clark, Democratic Leader
Claude Kitchin, Republican Leader
James R. Mann, Congressman Fitz-
gerald and Gillett. These men, he said,
are typical. The speaker, he declared,
was four square. None doubted his
veracity or his integrity. That he
would be sized up as great speaker
by deliberate historians, the congress
man believed.
Kitchin and Mann are opposites,
said Mr.. Sloan. Kitchin is fiery i'll
speech and hater of details, careless
OF parliamentary procedure. Mann is
the greatest detail man in the house.
He is one of the best parliamentary
ans.
Mr.. Sloan declared that the lber-
ties of the people will be safest when
the representatives shall be free from
patronage and from threats of any
man or any number Of men. The four
representatives of organized labor sat
in the room of the ways and means
committee and held stop watch on
congress, he said. Congressman be-
came messengers from these four men

Preparedness for peace by the
adoption of a protective tariff that
will protect the products of the Ne

dress delivered in the oDera house

nedy of Omaha, republican candidate
for United States senator,
Mr.. Kennedy referred to the pros
perity of today as the result OF the
world war now raging in Europe

the force of producers and mt them
in the class Of consumers only, there
by creating an undue demand for the
products OF the United States. After
the war many will 90 back to work
and for a long time the United States
will be the dumping ground for the
products of the industry of Europe
unless American industry is protected
by a tariff such as the republican
party / S always stood for. he said.

skin beneath gradually peepng out until
within a week 80 it is wholly in evidence.
OF course such blemishes as freckles. moth

The Longest Aisle in Any

In this country is the
name given by experts to
the aisle running from
18th and Douglas Streets
to the back Of the store,

the liveliest interest-we
might say that this aisle
is lined on either side
with bazaars, so full of

they. For example, one
passes the Gloves, Dainty
