BABY BAND EVIL SHOULD BE
ERADTCATED, SAYS AN EXPERT
BY WILLIAM BRADY, NJ. D.

rs the babys oard en1cacious?
J. Does 1t really serve the purpose for
which it is intended?
once more we find ourselves at vari-
arce wit cid, accepted ideas.
II Is the ancient argument that the baby
band makes his little tummy warm and
helps digest his food: that II strengthens
his back, and t.Iat babies have worn abb
dominal bands ever since cloth was first
woven, and hence should continue the
habit.
Science holds that the only function or
excuse for a baby binder is to retain the
umbilical dressing. Science deposes and
says that band won't keep the baby
any warmer than his skirt; that the band
Is so loose and twisted out of place half
the time that it can't offer apprecia BILE
support to the back, and. anyway, the
back needs no such support.
good many anxious fathers have
paced the floor many and many a night
with cnntankerous baby, made so by
the irritation of needless band good
many doses of collie cure. soothing syrup
ana other poisonous dopes have been
poured into babies who were endeavor-
ing to explain that they wished some
sane person would remove that con-
rounded. Itchy, twisted. annoying heat
ing binder.
At the age of weeks. in most in
stances, and surely at the age of month
every baby should shed his binder
whether his parents like the idea or not
This advice we give the babies I'm the
interest of tho he.lth and strength Of the
coming generation. II parents would only
use little common sense and not be
guided by foolish old tribal customs
handed down by our savage ancestors,
the binder ovil would soon be corrected.

 Turning to economics the senator pleaded for a return to the protective tariff policy. He chose, he said, the economic policy which sends the Ameri can workingmen to the savings banks rather than the soup houses
 No one the senator said disputes temporary prosperity in our land today. But it is sectional in it's fac tory aspects, abnormal in it's fevered rush, fictitious in it's essentials, and perverting in it's tendency. Worse. it is the gold sluiced from the river of blood poured out by the horrifying sacrifice of millions Of our fellowmen. God forbid that we should boast a prosperity wrought in such waste Of human life. We had rather rejoice in the prosperity of peace"
 Discussing the democratic party briefly the senator said it had pro claimed the sacredness of it's pledges and then profaned them" that it had "espoused the freedom of the seas and wrought only the freedom of the Pan- ana canal" and had ''professed econ omy and is staggered by it's own ex- travagance.' He attacked the ship ping hill because of it's government ownership feature and the attempt of democratic forces to extend independ ence to the Philippines, "to set adrif; an island empire, in violation of our

obligations to the world, to the Philip pine people and ourselves"
 Senator Harding concluded with a laudation of AmericanisHi, which he said begins at home and radiates abroad. The republican conception gives the first thought to a free people and a fearless people. and bespeaks conditions at home for the. highest human attainment. We believe in American markets for American pro- ducts, American wag for American worlmen. American opportunity for American defense for American soil American oitizenship is the reflex of American conditions. and we believe our policies make for fortunate peo- pie fer whom moral material and edu- cational advancement is the open way. The glory of our progress confirms 1 The answered aspirations. of a new world civilization acclaim We have taken the ideal form of popular gov errment and applied the policies which had led a continent to the altars. of liberty and glorified the republic We have justified pride and fortified hope. We need only to preserve and defend

our onetime isolation, we ought to have a navy that fears none in the world, and car say anytime and any where--these are American rights and must be respected"
 There are manifest differences about oar developments for military iefense,' he continued. "The presi- dent made trip from the coast to the valley of the Missouri to tell the American people the need of prepared ness It might have been more seem ly to tell the story to congress. for that body was in session and empowered to act, and seemingly ever ready to testi- fly obedience. However, congress un- dertooll to provide an army for de- fence and the majority wobbled be- until the republican minority in the senate uut something real in the pend ing measure.

Mexican negotiations. he de- scribed as the greatest fiasco in American foreign relations. He paid tribute tc Americanism of foreign birth with brief reference to the few zealots who would impugn the nations neu- trality and urged fraternity of Ameri- can republics under the Monroe Doc Urine. Advocating adequate national defense he charged the democratic rarty with having Interrupted re- publican naval construction and he criticized the army organization bill. lie also attacked the administration shipping bill, the effort made to extend independence to the Philippines, and made plea for a return to the pro- tective tariff.
 We did not do very well in making Tor harmony the last time we met" the chairman said in his appeal for harmony The country has regretted, Jet us forget-and make amends to our country. We did not divide over fundamental principles. we did not dis agree over national policy. We split over methods of party procedure and preferred personalities. Let us forget the differences, and find new inspira ton and new compensation in an uni led endeavor to restore the country.
 Republican principles are in a vast majority in this country-when the banners of harmony are unfurIed. We have witnessed the comeback of our party in various states. We have seen the re-enlistment of those who be-
 leVe in republican doctrines, and vic- tory has followed and rejoicing has attended. No apology has been ask ed, Inc foreswearing required. This is not the time for recrimination. if Is tue day of remuneration.
 Rededicating here and now the re- publican party to the progress and glory of the republic, let US bury pre- , fixes with the administration which our differences put in power. I do not believe there is a really reactionary republican bearing credentials to this convention. If there is, he will depart after our deliberations solely and

No party can en- dure which is not progressive"
 The world at war, preparedness and Americas foreign relations served as the basis for the Senator's first dis cussion of the issues. The enormity of the war in Europe. the tidal wave of distress and disaster, new wonders and new hindrances in commerce had utterly changed economic conditions, and these have attended embarrass- ments in American foreign relations, " he said "as difficult as those which he individual citizen experiences whose every neighbor is involved in deadly quarrel"
 Everything is abnormal except the depleted condition of the federal treasury, which is characteristic of dcmecratic control" he said, "and the facility of the administration for writ ing varied rotes without effective mo- tice" AmiG these conditions, America he asserted had been singled out for leadership among the neutral powers hut the administration at Washington spoke with more rhetoric than resolu- warning powers soon came to know that the official American voice lack ed the volume of determined express sior and once demanded international heed, and we lacked the strength and confidence in our own defenses."
 In the discussion of foreign relations the temporary chairman made partic- Glar refernce to Americanism. to the course with Mexico and with Europe Beginning with Americanism he traced it back to Independence days when there were Americans from Great Bri- tain, from Germany, from France and Southern Europe who made common cause. Since that time, he said, Ameri ca's gates mad swung inward to the foreign-born and they are an in- separable and important ard valued not inpugn the loyalty or the Ameri- can patriotism of that great body which adds to the swelling chorus oi My Country T'is of Thee.
