PARTIES
TO USE PH0MOGRAPHS
TALKING MACHINES TO BE A
FEATURE OF 1920 PRESI-
DENTIAL RACE

NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Phono-
graphs will be used by both the
republican and democratic parties
in the approaching presidential cam
paign, it is announced, the plan
embracing a program which will
permit the residents of small towns
and remote hamlets to hear the
speeches of eminent orators at the
same time that the records are re-
leased in the large cities.
The Photographic campaign will
be opened Con September /, when
records containing utterances by At
torney General Palmer, speaking for
the democrats, and others register
ing the speech of United States SEN
'ator Lodge, voicing the sentiments
of the republicans. will be released.
These speeches will be reproduced
at clubs, societies headquarters,
churches, MONDAY meetings and in
the homes of the party workers.
Following the release of the
speeches of Attorney General Pal
'mer and Senator Lodge, other rec
ords will be distributed monthly and
it is expected that the meeting
places and homes thu oughOut the
country will fairly echo and re-
echo with the words of the orators
as conveyed by means of talking
machines. The extent of the part
which monographs may play in the
campaign can be estimated by the
statement that two manufacturers of
the machines are known to have
more than 1000, 600 monographs in
use in the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
photographic oratory by the demo
cratic national committee are Presi-
dent Wilson, Secretary of War
Baker, Secretary of the Navy Dan
iels, former Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo and William j. Bryan.
Former President Tart, Major
General Wood, Elihu Root, Chaun-
cey M. Depew and United States
Senators Johnson and Borah are on
the list of speakers chosen for talk
ing machine oratory by the repub-
lican national committee.
Wilson told Lodge also that he
welcomed the suggestion of the
committee that nothing said IN the
conference be regarded as confiden-
tial." He added: ct will be most
agreeable to me to have an oppor-
tunity to tell the committee any
thing that may be serviceable to
them in their consideration OF the
treaty"

PHILOSOPHER TELLS
|. OF CULEBRA AND W.S.S.

Whenever I see one of these
two-story fronts on a lean-to build
ing. l am reminded of the Culebra
cut" observed the Smoking Car
philosopher.
"a thing to be impressed with
when you look up at it in the pres
ent, but of very little once
you get past it and look back.
Now, of course, the Culebra hill
was a very real and great obstacle
in the course of a very real and
great work. But who thinks about
that now? If you should see Guile
bra cut in the headlines you would
catch yourself wondering what part
of Jugo-Slavia Mr.. Culebra was
prime minister of and who cut him.
"But do you remember the days
when scores of steam shovels bit
and clawed at it's sides and you
looked first into the morning paper
to see whether shovels or slides had
the best of it the day before?
"The shovels won and Culebra
is dead. A whole fleet of warships
sailed right by Culebra the other
day and never even fired a salute.
"It's the same old story in every
day life. Every one OF us has beer
confronted sometime with a future
that doomed over him like Culebra
itself, threatening to slide over and
block his path.
Most of us have kept right on
with a full head Of steam on Jul
own particular steam shovel and by
and by our scratching had it's eff
feet. After we had scratched a
while, we could buy a little bigger
steam shovel and scratch harder.
And when We got a good bankroll
collected, nobody could tell us there
ever had been a threatening flu
ture."
I'm scratching all I can to buy
Liberty Bonds at the market, OBJ
served the silent man in the corner.
"Righto," agreed the philosopher.
"Culebra would have to slide uphill
to hurt them"

The United States has SO battle
ships capable of holding a place in

ARE HEAVY
INVESTORS IN
ARGENTINA

Referring to news reports alleg-
ing friction between Great Britain
and Argentina due to extensive Eng
lish Investments in the latter coun-
try. the National Bank of Com
merce in New York says that 49,
900, 600, 900 has been considered a
conservative estimate of the amount
of such investments.
lowing to the newness of the
country and the character of its in
dustries,'' the bank says, "Argen-
tina has always been a heavy i'm
porter of foreign capital. A report
recently issued by the director gen.
eral of commerce and industries of
Argentina clearly shows the pre-
dominance of British capital in the
industrial organization of the re-
public. The total amount of Brit
ish investment there is not known,
but W billion dollars has been
considered a conservative estimate.
The following figures are included:
at is known that British capital
in railways alone amounts to ST.
13~8,756,484. This represents about
ten times the railway investments
of any other foreign country in the
Argentine. The distribution OF
British capital by industries shows
how thoroughly the British lender
has penetrated into the economic
life of the country.
1.-THE close trade relations be-
tween Argentina and the United
Kingdom are shown by the fact that
for a long period almost one-third
of the total imports into Argentine
were received from Great Britain
to which one-third OF Argentina
total exports were sent. The wal
has resulted in a small reduction In
the amount of imports from Great
Britain but exports to her show a
tendency to increase"

GETTING LIGHT ON MEXICO

At last there is promise of some information regarding
real conditions in Mexico. The subcommittee appointed
under the resolution sponsored by Senator King of Utah and
adopted unanimously by the senate, is showing a real pur-
pose to get the facts and give them to the people. The whole
world, and particularly the people of this nation, whose gov
eminent has been flOuted for years by Mexican bandits, in
King and to the senate for this action, even tardy though it be.
The points specified in the senate resolution include
Damages and Outrages suffered by citizens of
the United States in Mexico.
= "The number of citizens of the United States who
have been killed or have suffered personal outrages,
and the amount of proper indemnities for such muir
"The amount of damages suffered on account Of
the destruction, confiscation and larceny of personal
property and the confiscation and deprivation of the
use of land and the destruction of improvements
thereon.
"The number of citizens of the United States
residing in Mexico at the time Porfirio Diaz retired
from the presidency of Mexico and the number of
citizens of the United States at present residing in
Mexico and the nature and the amount of their present
holdings and properties in Mexico"
Another clause calls for recommendations as TO changes
that ought to be made in the present policy of our govern
ment toward Mexico. The committee seems to have been
given ample scope.
After six years of "watchful waiting" and doing nothing
that has brought satisfactory results, the country is justified
in demanding a change of policy. Further vacination and note
writing, and threats which are nullified almost as soon as
made, are not to be tolerated. Vera Cruz was captured by the
navy, but the American forces were soon afterward with
drawn. An army was sent into Mexico but its commander did
not have a free hand, and the order to Get Villa" was soon
suspended by another to withdraw. Troops were sent to the
border and were sent home again; the expedition was ridicu-
lous so far as its effect upon Mexico was concerned. It's one
big result was to enable the bandit leaders to convince their
followers that America was afraid of them.
The United States has no desire to quarrel with Mexico or
to annex Mexican territory by force. But we are warranted
in demanding that Mexicans treat Americans in a spirit of fair
ness and that the Mexican government shall maintain law and
order. at least, so far as Americans are concerned. And that
demand will have no force as long as the Mexican people can
be led by their leaders to believe that we are afraid of them.

In England also they are keeping up a howl about the high
prices. What do the nations expect after all the wanton de-
struction there has been? The best cure for the situation is to
return TO war time economics and war time conservation.
There is not yet enough surplus in the world to stay very long
on a debauch of luxury. When the people begin to buy less
and to save more, and produce more, they will find their way
nout of the present situation, and not until then.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1919-08-23

If everybody quits and everybody gets higher prices and
wages. let's see who it is that will be most helped? Can you
guess? Or will it simply be passing the buck around and then
around again? Will we not all see ultimately that it is more
important to bring something down than to push everything
up?

IN OPINION OF THE
WLLIAMSPORT GAZETTE

The prospects for the much needed
addition to the WillIamsport govern
ment building are particularly bright.
The efforts of Congressman Edgar
r. Kiess to impress upon the COM
mittee the absolute need for more
room have been rewarded with sue
cess. The House Public Buildings
committee has ordered an appropria-
ton of 100000 favorably reported.
The bill which originated with
Congressman Kiess, has been closely
followed by him and only last week
he was twice before the committee.
