SOAKING THE STAR
That RuIc-Or- Ruin Organ Denounced
I'm Scathing Terms for Its Rotten
Fight at Cop Convention.

Here is what the Kansas City Star
had to say about one of the factions
Of the Missouri Republicans:
"Republlcanism yesterday achieved
its greatest triumph in the history Of
the party in Missouri. 1t was not
against their ancient and svowed
enemy that the forces OF the faith
were arrayed, but against an intoler-
ant, arrogant and desperate group Of
men who assumed to represent the
hope and intention was TO bring the
local Republican organization TO the
ruin of utter desolation unless they
could rule and control it. Nor was
it a fight within the Republican
party. although many of those who
were marshalled under the banner Of
revolt claimed to be Republicans. 1t
was a fight against an element domi-
mated absolutely and misled pathet-
ically by the most conspicuous agen-
I cy Of political disorganization in this
/ community"
, Here is what the Kansas City Jour
( nal had to say about the star and tho
other faction of the Missouri Repub-
leans:
AT this time, when right has
triumphed and truth is vindicated, it
{ is well to speak plainly. The assault
/ planned and conducted against the
Republican party in Kansas City had
no other motive than to carry out the
private plans and purposes Of the
Kansas City star. Back Of that as
sumption of dictatorship lies a story
Of political mendacity and selfishness

souri, politics. =. Confessing that is

increases proportionate to advances in
living costs,
"2--1n the present crisis. and for
all time TO come, producers and mid
dlemen must be restrained from ad-
vancing prices in excess Of increases
in labor and material costs.
"3-Producers and middlemen
must refrain from including income
and excess profit taxes in their costs
and passing them on to the consum-
er with an added profit.
"4-The principal OF a living wage
must be accepted and established in
order that normal production may be
restored and increased production

not a Republican newspaper, the
Star nevertheless brutally stretched
forth its hands to control the Repub-
licans Of this county in order that II
should not have to confess its failure
to make good that pledge. Driven
to the fury OF desperation the Star
struck madly and assaulted character
recklessly, going down to defeat beat
en- and humiliatod. a victim Of its
own deliberate folly. II had stakcd
its all upon a game OF which it as
sumed from the first it was the mas
ter. II imagined that it would be
comparatively easy TO browbeat and
uislead the Republicans OF Kansas
City into carrying out its private
pledges. 1t saw visions in the clouds
and heard whispers in the wind pro-
/ claiming its own inyincibilty. Per-
haps it actually pictured one Of its
| owners already appointed ambassa-
/ dor to France as a reward Of services
rendered. and the states Of Missouri
and Kansas measured out as a politi-
cal satraphy over which it should
| have patronage dominion. ."
"The Journal congratulates the Re
| publicans OF this county for the
magnificent stand they made around
/ the colors Of their party. For those
who fought for the star II has no
/ feeling save regret that they permit

misled. The Star was to be the great
/ beneficiary Of this movement 1t
alone knew what negotiations, il any
had transpired to determine its
/ course. The hundreds Of good citi-
zcns who followed its leadership were

poseful campaign Of misrepresenta-
tion that grew more and more in
inuitous as its probable success
waned. -
THE Star may continue to vilify
and malign the Republican organiza-
tion Of this city, but great jury
composed Of more than fourteen hun
dred Of most loyal and honorable
men and women from all over the
state Of Missouri. has given the YER
dict Of vindication and commenda-
ton against which continued protests
by the Star will only be indicative of
bitter personal disappointment and
selfish ambitions thwarted.'

Didn't stop With Armistice

Profiteering did not stop with the
armistice, the report declared, pre-
senting figures to show that corpora
tion profits in 1919 were 10 per
cent over the pre-war average which
means, the Study added, that 1919
profits were more than double the
average for the years 19l2-19l4.
An average of $1,000 per family Of
five during the years 1916-19lS was
declared to be probably highly con-
sorvative estimate Of the actual cost
of corporation profiteering to the
consumer.

total labor cost and the 1913 price
represented twenty-five times the to-

WASHINGTON. d. c., May 21--A
study of profiteering in American in
dustry, made under the auspices Of
the railway brotherhoods, was pre-
scnted to the railroad labor board in
support OF the railway workers de-
mands for higher pay and to refute
the charge that increased labor costs
are responsible for the high cost of
living.
Prepared by w. J. Lauck, former
secretary Of the war labor board, the
study seeks to show that profiteering
in industry is the fundamental cause
for high prices. 1t gives many sta
tistics to support that contention.
Calling attention to the many war
made millionaires, the study con-
tends that the increase in the wealth
Of the wealthy is an "unanswerable"
refutation to all attempts to charge
labor with profiteering For II in
vested wealth gets a larger return"
says the study, the man who gives
personal service or labor is bound to
get a smaller proportion"
OF the extraordinary increase in
the price of sugar, now amounting
to 800 per cent, the study says, the
| increase in labor cost paid by the
consumer was less than Is per cent.

cording to the quoted reports of
twelve companies. was pictured in

Testimony of DIR. TiIden

DR.. ]. II. Tilden of Denver, editor
of the magazine called "A Stuffed
Club" says of a leading health Off
GER: II hold his views in high es-
TEEN because of the high place he
has won for himself. He has cut
loose from the doctrines and prac-
tices of the regular school of medi-
cine, and be il said to his credit. for
the last twenty years has not pre-
scribed any medicine for his patients.
He has shown that operations. while
of course sometimes necessary, usual
ly remove only effect: that the use of
drugs, serums. vaccines and antitox-
ins is worse than worthless; that
drugs do not cure disease. but only
relieve pain and suppress or mask
moving the cause by teaching the
patient to correct whatever is wrong
in his habits Of living"
If deadly germs are found on cats

BILE a contribution to science to know
how many and what kind Of germs
are found on cats whiskers as to
know how many devils can be ball
anced on the point of a needle.

Cat Fur and Kidney Trouble

Among the four kinds of germs
found on a cats whiskers, DR.. Reid
mentions a germ (which causes a va
riety of infectious diseases, including
kidney disease" AS if any person
ever got kidney disease from the fur
Of a cat. If a person could swallow
that barrel of booze that was stolen
from George Weiss cellar he would
contract a worse case Of kidney dis
ease than if he had swallowed a
whole cat. But, say boy! don't blame
the booze for bad kidneys-put the
blame on the cat.
An inspection of the family dietary
usually reveals the cause of mans
untimely demise. But his death is
piously attributed to an inscrutable
visitation of Providence. His friends
pass resolutions of coincidence lament
ing that their dear brother had been
"called to his eternal rest" flatter-
ing implication that he had so over
worked himself during his brief span
OF life that he needed an eternity OF
rest in which to recuperate and was
entitled to it as a reward, Whereas
the only thing oyerworked was his
digestive organs in disposing Of his
wife's cooking. And yet, the School
Board of St Joseph is going to fire
the teacher of Domestic Science for
the sake of economy.
A few centuries ago witches were
blamed for misfortunes. 1t was not
known where else they could have
originated. Therefore they must be
due to witches. Now doctors lay the
blame for disease on germs and SOM e.
times on cats, as accessory to the fact
