propose reservations eXempting the con

Let George Do II.

In his reply to the Presidents letter
requesting a postponement of the
House recess Speaker Gillett took oc-
cosion to administer dignified but
pointed rebuke to Mr.. Wilson. 'As to
railroad legislation" said he, 81 sup
posed by an act of Congress you had
now full authority" Which, Of course,
is the exact fact. Heretofore Mr.. Will
son has not hesitated to raise railway
wages whenever they were demanded.
Seeing the condition of general unrest
that he has created by that course, and
the great rise in the cost of living
that it has brought about, the Presi-
dent knows that whatever is done will
meet with disfavor either from the
public or the brotherhoods. and un-
dertakes to unload the whole unsavory
mess on to Congress. "Mr. Wilson
made his bed, and now he should lie
in it," say the Republicans.

Fact Of Cooking.

An experienced housewife. who has

lem OF three meals n day. felt much
interested when her college-bred daugh-
ter told her that she was going to

Robert Burns.

Burns is the singer OF songs as i'm
mortal as love. pure as the dew OF
the morning. and sweet as Its breath
songs with which the lover woos his
bride and the mother soothes her
child. and the heart OF a people beats
with patriotic exultation: songs that
cheer human endeavor and console hui
man sorrow and exalt human life. We
cannot find out the secret Of their pow
er. Until we know why the rose Is
sweet or the dew-drop pure. or the
rainbow beautiful. We cannot know
why the poet Is the best benefactor
OF humanity. II we were forced to
surrender every expression Of human
genius but one, surely we should re
tain poetry; and II we were called to
lose from the vast accumulation of lit
erature all but a score of books. among
that choice and perfect reminder
would be the songs Of Burns.-Georgs

ton of our armies and war industries
has proceeded under no preconceived
plan to return to peace basis with
least economic disturbance. hntermit-
tent unemployment and shutting down
of factories has followed, all of which
has contributed to the high cost of
living.
"Those and other causes are respon-
sible for the present state of affairs.
Mr.. Wilson has been the Nations auto
crat, selecting his own heads of De
partments and other minor officials.
During the war Congress never grudg-
ed him single power that he asked,
and practically every Federal activity
was governed by his discretion alone.
His aversion to advice has been motor
ious, and he has sought and been
granted powers never before possess
ed but by the most absolute monarchs.
His seven months absence in a foreign
capital indicates how lightly he regard
ed the responsibility for American well
fare that rested upon MS shoulders.
During that THE the executive branch
was left solely in. charge of political
incompetents whom he had clothed
with authority.
Like a tidal wave the conditions
that Mr.. Wilson inaugurated and fost-
cred have rolled up and now threaten
to engulf the United States in econ
omic chaos. Like the Kaiser who de-
serted his armies and fled the coun-
try when he saw that all was lost, Mr..
Wilson throws up his hands and turns
to the Republicans in Congress to save
the country from this intricate situa-
tion.' To a man, the Members of the
House have responded, abandoned
plans for recess pending debate on
the peace treaty in the Senate, and
have settled down to retrieve, if pos
sible, the disaster that would other
wise surely descend upon the country
when Mr.. Wilson's false economic
structure topples to the ground"

HEARD AT THE
NATIONAL CAPITOL
Transparent Strategy

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Republi-
can Publicity Association, through its
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr.,
today gave opt the following state
ment from its Washington headquart-
ers.
Panic stricken at the national un-
rest looming greater day by day, Presi-
dent Wilson has thrown up his hands
and appealed to q Republican Congress
TO save the situation. The full effects
Of his maladministration are now be-
ing interpreted to every citizen IN
terms OF dollars and cents. We call
it the High Cost of Wilsonian Demo-
cracy.
Many things have contributed to
the economic state in which the coun-
try finds itself. Chief among them
are the extremes of extravaganza and
wanton waste that have marked the
commissions Of the Wilson appointses
in conducting us through the greatest
war in history. Inefficiency has been
predominant among the individuals ap-
pointed, and political exigencies the
prime consideration in their selection.
By its cost-plus' scheme of making
contracts, the administration forced
prices to abnormal heights. By fav-
oritism to city wage-earners, it drew
labor away from food production. By
initiation Of currency, the buying pow
er of the dollar was reduced. The food
situations in Europe have taken pre-
cedence in the Presidents mind over
the needs of our own people. with the
result that millions Of tons of food
stuffs have been taken from mouths
Of Americans and given to inhabitants
of the Old World, much Of it to the
people Of the very nations responsible
for the war. The railroads of the
country have been continued under
Federal control in spite Of the fact that
the deficit is monthly mounting into
the hundreds Of millions Of dollars. As
u consequence, freight rates have been
raised and will be raised again, to be
added in turn to the ultimate costs Of
food and other products. All efforts
Of the Republicans to have the Demo-
cratic Congress adopt sane system
Of reconstruction were rejected by the
President, and as a result demobiliza-

One Reason

Reports from the Department Of
Agriculture show that on July 10th
there were in cold storage 1OS,352,OOO
pounds of butter and 100000 cases
of eggs, both figures far in excess of
the conditions of year ago. With
similar situations in other food sup
plies it is not difficult to trace at
least part of the cause for high cost
of living.
