the statute books. They passed
the Federal Reserve act and other
really constructive measures.
The republicans took charge of
Congress last May, and have
wasted eight months in talk and
on politics.
Here are some of the things
the voters hold against the re-
.publicans:
Failure to prepare the nation
for a war emergency.
Failure to enact an income tax.
Failure to reform an antiquated
currency system.
Failure to enforce the anti
trust laws.
Failure to correct trust abuses.
Failure to eliminate graft,
special privilege, and duties that
resulted in monopoies from the
tariff laws.
Failure to enact proper and
just legislation to protect labor,
and secure for it its share of the
profits,
. Failure to provide adequate
conservation measures.
The democratic record since
1912 is without equal for con-
structive measures that are bene-
fitting the masses.

Mr.. BoRAH'S WARNING

Whatever Senator Borah may
be politically, in geographical
way ne represents a region in
which hard work, frugality and
thrift are necessities as well as
virtues, In no other section of
the country, perhaps, are Con-
gress' waste of time and extrav-
agance of expenditure watched
with keener scrutiny and requit-
ted with quicker condemnation
than they are in the Great West,
of which Senator Borah's- State
of Idaho is an examplar..
There is significance, then in
Senator Borah's recent decrial of
the failure of the present repub-
lican Congress to keep its pledges
of economy, and his sharp rebuke
in the wastefulness that char
aracterized some pending pro-
posals. Unquestionably. Mr..
Borah has heard from his con-
stituency and knows the mind of
his people. Accordingly, he has
warned the republican leaders
that their record in Congress and
not the promises of a platform
even one that is the handiwork
of III expert politicians will be
the test of their party's fitness
for another lease of power.
Senator Borah knows what is
patent to every other observer in
Congress and outside of it. The
republicans made promises to OBJ
tain votes and control of legisla-
ton. They have done next to
nothing, even under pressure, to
fulfill their promises. They have
begun this years presidential
campaign with new promises.
That aggregation of talent by
which the next platform is to be
written has for its chief labor
the refunding of the old promise,
with new pledges, whose re-
demption is contingent on fur
ther republican success.
The failure of the republican
leaders to keep their word is so
obvious to the country by this
time that no platform which
offers platitudes and assurances,
instead of reciting performances,
can deceive anyone but its au-
thors. Senator Borah's remind
er to his colleagues in Congress
would have been useful a few
months ago. 1t comes too late
now.
Graham guardian., 1920-02-27

Senator Moses, of New Hamp-
shire, and Senator Mccormick,
of Illinois, have declined to serve
as members of the committee of
I'll to write the republican alibi
for the next campaign. AS men
who have helped to make the
record of the present republican
congress they appreciate how
difficult it will be to escape re-
sponsibility for it.
