Cleveland County herald. (Rison, Ark.) 1888-current, 1918-06-27

More than five years ago Senator
Cummins of Iowa introduced and had
passed a resolution providing for the
investigation of an "insidious lobby"
which was then said to be operating
for the purpose of preventing the pass
age of the Underwood Simmons tariff
bill. That committee has never made
any report and we do not know
whether it found an "insidious lobby"
for that matter, we don't recollect
what it did discover.
Now comes Senator Borah, follow
ing the reference of President Wilson
in his last message to congress relative
to 'profiteers" and insists upon an in
vestigation to find out who the prof.
teers are, and incidentally as to why
they are allowed to operate. The prob
abilities are that no investigation will
find very much more than has the lob
by investigating committee which is
still in existence. OF course men have
made money out Of the war; men al
ways make money out of wars; the
great difficulty is in finding the GRIM
inal, either in lobbying or profiteering.
Neither may be commendable, and
they are oftentimes disreputable, but
Investigations which cannot put the &C
tual stamp of criminality upon people
are not very effective.

Julius Kahn stands up" is phrase
that has frequently been heard and it
means that this sterling representative
from California has from the time the
war began been one Of the stanchest
supporters Of every measure and move
ment to make it success that has
come before congress or the country.
Kahn is the ranking Republican mem
Der of the committee on military at
fairs and at times he has been in
charge of bills to support the admins
tration's war policy because the Demo
cratic members Of that committee have
been opposed to such measures. In
the recent discussion Of the big army
appropriation bill Congressman Kahn
set at rest many rumors that had been
afioat regarding alleged improper &C.
ton by the government in different mil
itary matters.

FOOD PRODUCTION THIS YEAR.
Preceding the election, Dean J. L. Hills
of the University of Vermont gave a
most interesting address on Food Pro-
duction in Northern New England In
1873" His address was brief and catchy,
full of points of exceptional interest and
value to the dairymen, and his manner
of placing the facts and figures to which
he has had access in the nations depart
ments at Washington made a profound
and pleasing impression on each member
Of the audience.
He indicated what kinds of human and
animal foods could be produced and
something as to the incentives and the
obstacles to production. He stressed the
growth of silage corn that would ma
ture, of legume hays, of soy beans, of
rape pasturage for pork, of hen testing
associations, Of waging war against oat
smut, bean anthracnose and potato dis
eases. He cited as incentives to an in
creased production our unequalled mar

HAD TO CHEESE IT
Democratic Pioneer Raps the Editor. Tells Him
What Is What and Who Is Who in His
Precinct. A Sow in the Cupboard.

Back up, take water. cheese it, dis
avow, disclaim, renounce, repudiate,
retract, recall, rescind; these are
some of the meditations cherished
in the heart of Heber G. G. Rich of
Rich precinct after the election un-
til he rang up We editor and secured
an understanding. Heber said he
wanted We editor to do all the above
named things to requite his feelings
over something that we had said.
OF course an editor is always say
ing something and when he gets
called he has to inquire which thing
he has said that brings forth the
righteous indignation upon his un-
suspecting head. 1t was SO in this
case. Well, Heber rang. We an
swered. Then there was talk back
and to, like this:
Heber: Say, Trego! You have
offended me like the dickens"
Trego: Eyes? What in the dikers
did / do?"
Heber: 'You know my son Chase
rang you Wednesday morning to get
the election news?"
Trego: Yes"
Heber: well, you told him all
you knew, which of course wasn't
much, and then you added, What's
the matter with you folks Chase, you
folks in the Rich precinct walloped
us unmercifu.ly by voting the what
do they call it, the Bolsheviki ticket"
And Chase said we did kind o. lose
our good reputation for Democratic
majorities, but that he couldn't help
it,
Trego: Yes"
Heber: "Well, Chase told me what
you said about The folks in Rich pre-
cinet, and that included me, and
didn't like it. The more / thought
of it the madden / got. Just think
of the helm BUSINESS Of the crime,
holding all of us responsible for,
what do you call it? an anarchist
majority, but you are more consider
ate and call it Bolsheviki, giving
them the best of it."
Trego: "And you feel slandered
and you resent it,"
