gress and to yield his preconceived
notions where he and Congress differ.
"The Sixty-sixth Congress repre-
sents in peculiar and indisputable
manner the latest expression of the
will of the American people. The
mandate from the people to their gov
eminent as expressed in the election
of this Congress is two years subse-
quent to the mandate expressed in the
election of President Wilson. If the
campaign and election had been at
tended by no unusual circumstances,
the result would be Enthusiastically the
latest expression of the popular will.
"But the election of 1918 had an ex-
traordinary significance. Shortly be-
fore the ballots were cast, President
Wilson issued very carefully con-
sidered and strongly worded appeal to
the voters of the country for the cleo
tion of Congress in sympathy with
him. His appeal was read and dis
cussed in every voting precinct in the
United States. Doubtless hundreds of
thousands Of voters yielded to the
plea because it was based largely up
on the representation that a Congress
in sympathy with the President was
essential to the successful conclusion
of war and negotiation of peace. But
in the face of this unprecedented plea,
the people of the country deliberately
and decisively registered their desire
to have the policies of their govern
ment shaped by men not in sympathy
with Wilsonian ideas and practices.
president Wilson lays claim to
peculiar powers in reading the public
mind, He has repeatedly made allu-
sion to his clear understanding of pub
lie opinion and desire. But such a
claim can have no possible founda-
ton in view of the clear, deliberate,
and decisive action of the people at
the polls last November. aAe
"The Sixty-sixth Congress was chos-
en- as reputation of Democratic ad-
ministration. 1t was vote of conf
dence in the constructive ability Of
Republicans. 1t was an expression of
desire that the policies of the gov
eminent be formed by the men most
recently placed in control, and the
country will expect President Wilson
to keep that fact in mind if and when
differences arises between himself and
Congress-"
CHEER UP!
There is nothing but encouragement
and reinsurance in the continued
heavy export trade of the United
States. Europe is buying heavily for
reconstruction purposes and to make
up for reduced purchases in certain
lines during the war. There was an
expected reaction Immediately follow
ing the armistice, accentuated some
what by delay of the government in
making payments on cancellation of
war contracts, but the situation, so
far as permanent business is concern
ed, is sound, except for the NEEDED of a
tariff law. The new Republican Con-
gress will attend to that-thus pre-
venting injurious foreign competition
with any important American indus
try. Having our own markets protect
ed, and having heavy demand from
abraod, we shall enjoy long period
of industrial prosperity.

The Department o fLabor's indus
trial junketeers, who sailed in Janu-
airy to study labor conditions abroad,
and possibly to catch few crumbs
from royal tables, have returned.
Like Mr.. Hurley, who meandered
abroad to enforce worldwide marine
wage-scale, they return with open
minds and ears to the ground after an
enjoyable trip at public expense which
Melted them no concrete information.
1t is now Secretary Redfield's turn to

make success of at least one of his

could not keep US out of war when the

"A, P. GULTIVATES
FRIENDSHIP OF
TWO AMERICAS
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, June Crank B.
Noyes, president OF the Associated
Press, told the Pan-American confer
ence today that the exchange of true
ungarbled and unbiased news between
the north and south American CONT
nents, now being brought aboM by
the membership of South American
newspapers in the organization, would
be more effeetual in cultiva ting and
maintaining the relations of friendship
and affection that should exist be-
tween the two continents Of this hem
isphere than all the propaganda that
could be fed out by all the publicity
agents that could be put to work"
Mr. Noyes explained how the Asso-
ciated Press probably the most not
able cooperative effort now function
ing" was in no sense a governmental
agency, is forbidden by its charter to
make or distribute profits and has
always refused to handle propaga nda,
believing that its function was pro-
perly limited to supplying a news SER
vice to its members without bias SO
far as that is humanity possible. This
appealed to some of the most import
ant South American newspapers and
they were received into the organi-
cation, not as customers or clients,

The audience knows well what hap

they become interested in the plot

their Wickedness in the last act and

SO it comes about that the Saliva

There never will be a new way of re-
claiming men from the human vast

What's The Remedy?

Stop to consider what produces wrinkles

shrink, lose it's youthful plumpness and
frmness. The skin then Is too large for
and snugly as It used tot wrinkles or
says.
It must be plain that to tighten the
skin, make 1t fit the face perfectly in
every place, will effectually remove the
hateful wrinkles and bagginess. This is
easily and harmlessly accomplished by
dissolving an ounce of powdered saxolite
In a half pint Of witch hazel and using the
solution as face wash. The ingredients
you can get at any drug store. The re-
suits are surprising The skin Immediately
tightens up becoming firm and fresh al
