The Difference Between a
Farmer and a Profiteer
BY Senator Who Doesn't
Believe in Certain Price,
: Fixing

Mr.. GORE. say, again. that the rea-
4vA son that ! returned the qualified
answer that / did to the Senator from
Utah was that do not believe that the
price ought to be fixed on wheat, rye,
barley, corn, cotton, or on any other article
which is produced by the farmers of this
country. The farmers in the United States
are unorganized; they cannot combine to
fix the price OF their product. Every man
who produces commercial article is en-;
titled to whatever price the law OF supply,
and demand will award; and so long as he
receives no greater price he cannot ba in
dicted as profteer. 1t is those who. are
in situation to manipulate the law of
supply and demand, to arrest and to thwart
its operation. who can be subjected to the
charge that they are profteers. It is tho
man who is able by situation. combination,
or otherwise to extort larger price for
his product than the law Of supply and de-
mand will award, who deserves the epithet
Of prefiteer. The farmers do not come.

some OF these rivers and harbors in the
bill. This is the colloquy:
Mr.. Ransdell: May 1 ask the Senator
a question?
Mr.. Smoot: The amount of commerce
on that river for the year 1916-
Mr.. Rnnsdoll: Mr.. President-
Mr.. Smoot (turning to peer at Mr..
RansdelD: If the Senator will wait until
finish this sentence then will yield to
him.
At which point Mr.. Smoot proceeds
with, ''The amount of commerce on that
rlver,"' ETC., until the passing minutes
begin to shred the patience of Mr. Rams
dell, who gives visible signs of wear.
, Finally Mr.. Ransdell breaks out.
* ~r~
MIR. PRESIDENT, will the Senator
AvA. from Utah yield to me? He is
talking about a river in my state.
Mr.. Smoot: Certainly will yield.
Mr.. Ransdell with perhaps more of
irony than Southern courtesy): 1 am
very much obliged to the Senator.
MIR. Smoot (returning in kind): I
never spoke on river and harbor bill or
offered a word of criticism but what the
Senator from Louisiana was Immediately
upon his feet to defend the project-no
matter how ridiculous it was.
Mr.. Smoot makes quiet start on this,
but ends explosively and with smoke in
his voice. Mr.. Ransdell, standing on the
Democratic side, has quietly been devel-
oping into white heat. He does not
hesitate when he speaks, rushes rather
into the heart of his opinion, but rushes
in the breathless manner and shaken
voice of a man who can hardly stand to
wait for the moment until his shaft has
struck home.

The Treatment of Whoopine
Cough

A UTRECHT is of the opinion that
there is little virtue in most Of the
therapeutic measures now employed for
this affection. He recommends the most
absolute quiet, even immobility of the
child, as this decreases the number of
paroxysms of coughing and shortens the.
length of the morbid process, likewise
preventing the advent of complications.
A mild infusion of ipecac is exhibited.

RUT the great moment-of the debate
IL comes with tho ,.icinne &c Il.

u UT the great moment of the debate
- comes with the rising fire and cl-
nlactic motion of one of the Senators
from Utah, Mr.. Smoot. Mr.. Smoot is a
tall and even angular Senator built not
so much for rhythm as for speed. There
is little bit of the schoolmaster about
him, about the loose hang of his coat over
his lengthy frame, the high collar he
wears of a single fold, and the glasses
that sit closely over the bridge of a SEN
sible and generous nose He is amply
man OF common sense. He gives out an
impression of mental quality. He ap-
pears to be man who thinks. not subtlv
doubtless, but clearly and simply and d.
rectly, and without reservation. He comes
upon the stage now in slightly differ
ent role. He openly rejects the amend
ment in the form in which it appears
and he adds to his rejection a warmth of
emphasis that does not lie confessedly in
his ordinarily casual attention. He has
voice that is made for sound, full. open.
OF good timbre, and in broad way it
has facility. 1t yields surprising range
in the direction of ridicule and toward
the other pole of an earnest passion. If
it snarls little. roughly in it's humor il
has convincing power in it's sweep of
argument and denunciation.
The first spark is struck by Senator
Ransdell, of Louisiana. Senator Rams
dell might stand for the picture of a
Southern planter or Western farmer.
He is of good height without being tall,
squarely set and is marked chiefly by a
beard that hides him as an individual and
classities him in group, and by his clear
presentation of the English tongue at it's
ripest as it is spoken below the Ohio
River. Mr.. Ransdell is on his feet and
wants to address Mr.. Smoot, who is head
long in his assault on spending money on
New-York tribune., 1918-05-26

Mr.. Ransdell: Certainly, whenever
slanders are uttered against things in
Louisiana or anywhere else in connection
with rivers and harbors, / am going to
be on my feet. consider it slanderous
statement for Senator to rise in his
place here and try to make the Senate
believe, ETC., ETC., ending with: I ask the
Senator now if there is anything fair in
that kind of statement?
Mr.. Smoot (who is quiet for the mo-
ment and sardonic): If the Senator has
asked his question and will sit down L
will answer it,
Mr.. Ransdell equally acidulous): All
right Now, let us hear the answer.
Mr.. Smoot runs along for minute
without really answering the question in
any other way than by asking another.
Mr.. Ransdell, after some preliminary,
begins thiswise:
Mr.. Ransdell: I desire to say to Sena-
tors that there was a very large COM
merce on that river. l was born and
reared on its banks, and know that when
l was boy We were scarcely ever out of
sight of the smoke of steamboat.
This continues at length and develops
into an interesting description of the
commerce on the Red River at an earlier
period.
However, the intrepid Mr.. Smoot is
nothing daunted.
Mr.. Smoot: Mr.. President, it is all
right for the Senator to hark back to his
childish recollection when there was some
commerce on the river, but this very
argument, etc.
THIS ends the first dialogue. The gal
l. leries, wishing to give audible ex-
preston to their enjoyment, but daunted
by the eagle scrutiny of the Vice Presi-
dent, subside into more natural stupor
The debate continues for period with
minor and even dying rumblings until
Mr.. Gallinger picks up his battle mace
and quietly makes entry into the lists. 1t
is little surprising to Mr.. Ransdcll, a
trifle unexpected. But he makes neat
recovery. Mr.. Gallinger has just told
New-York tribune., 1918-05-26

Mr.. Ransdell that he isn't we'll informed
man on the subject. Mr.. Ransdell coun-
ters directly. Mr.. Gallinger is usually a
fair man, he declares, why can't he be,a
fair man now? He appeals to Mr. Cal
linger "in all fairness and kindness" to
tell the Senate the fackn
Mr.. Gallinger: The Senator, Mr.. Pres
ident, is bit excited.
Mr. Ransdell Tin an excited manner):
lam not bit excited, but / ask the Sem
ator to give us the facts ~
Mr.. Gallinger (now warming up him
self): The Senator from Louisiana called
the Senator from Utah a slanderer,
which was contrary to- the rules of the
Senate, and the Senator from Utah very
properly did not pay any attention to
that. Now, the Senator must not get ex-
cited at what say. -. -
Mr.. Ransdell: am not a bit excited.
The strain relaxes momentarily. But
there is one final flash before the curtain.
Mr.. Smoot: Now if the Senator wants
to know will tell him.
Mr.. Ransdell: The Senator refused to
tell me while ago.
Mr.. Smoot: l. thought the Senator was
camoufaging and trying to make people
believe that there were no such projects
provided for. 1,
Mr.. Ransdell: never camoufage; I
do not follow my distinguished friend
from Utah in that respect All I ask is
detailed statement, which the Senator
from New Hampshire and the Senator
from Utah have refused to give.
Mr.. Smoot: Very well, let us get at
the facts.
THE facts, however, whatever they
a may have been, are not to find tbs
light. The Vice-President has come to
the end Of his tether. A light tap and
he speaks.
The Vice-President: The Chair thinks
it is about time to enforce the rule Of
two speeches in day. We will never
get through. The Chair has been here
five years and nobody has ever been con-
verted since he has been here.
Mr.. Smoot: / think the Chair for the
position he has taken. g
There was some confusion of voting
thereafter in which it finally appeared
that Mr.. Lenroot's amendment was not
to be born. The gallery stretched it
self, so did the Vice President. Then the
droning started again.
But the Senate had revealed itself as
an institution of human beings.
