Country Suffering From War.
The speech was delivered to a

lows in part
The country is suffering today
in common with much of the
world as a result of the great war
We have this difference to distin-
! guish us from Europe; We have
actual peace, though not formally
declared. while much of Europe is
engaged in war, directly or indi-
rectly. The European states have
made their covenant, but war con-

covenant and we have actual peace,

what we need Is to have the
government stop It's extravaganza
as an example to individual
thrift. Just now we need to prac-
tice economy in all things. This
may sound like mockery to the mar
or woman whose all Is consumed IN
the struggle for existence, but Its
application Is to those who are
spending unnecessarily, for their
waste is the cause Of want to those
who have not enough.
What Congress Did.
when the republican congress
elected in 1918 came into control
of the legislative branch of the
government it did so under a pledge
to reduce the cost of government
and to stop extravaganza and
waste. That pledge has been splen-
didly kept, and this. too, in the
face of determined and persistent
efforts by the party in power in
the administrative branch of gov
ernment to maintain its saturnalia
Of extravagance. The republicans
of the sixty sixth congress passed
the eight supply bills below the
amount they had carried, as pre-
pared, and presented by the for
mer democratic congress. This
saving aggregated nearly billion
dollars.
THE democratic party came into
power upon the promise to reduce
the high cost Of living. Wen, |
