cies OF the Republican leaders IN 1896.
They have considered the interests; of
tho country before those OF party, and
ondcavored to do whatever might he
possible TO help along the return to
good times.
But "facts are stubborn things"
What the immediate predecessor of
the Republican Congress of 1919 did
in the way of constructive legislation
to strengthen the country and prepare
II FOR the war emergency WHICH was
ever threatening after the war cloud
broke over Europe in the late summer
OF 1914, specially what It did TO place
the Federal financial system on so
firm a basis that it was not disturbed
10y the shock of war and has not boen
adversely affected by the disorganiz-
ing influences of restoration: is well
known TO the people, No Congress
ever did finer work or more effectively
provided for one of the gravost emer-
gencies that can confront n nation.
What tho Republican Congress has
not done for tho benefit of the country
since It assumed control at Washing
ton. early in 1919. also is a painfully
familiar story. IL wasted an entire
session in fruitIoss and costly inves-
! legations into war operations. in the
hope OF finding evidence Of dishon-
esty and graft TO disconCert President
Wilson, but learned nothing that
tended TO the slightest degree to COM
pensatc for this sinful waste OF time
and money. It bent its energies to
"nghting President Wilson. instead Of
legislsting to restore normal condi-
tons in business. 1t has enacted a
Tariff law that is admittedly failure.
and the Republican Senate prevented
ratification of the Treaty of Yer
sailles and the consequent entrance
Of our country into the League of Ma
tions. which would have proved such
n powerful influence in soothing the
great upheavals that followed in tho
wake OF the war. And the contrast
between the business conditions Of to-
day and those of the recent past is
too painful subject for any kind of
consideration.
Tho country is in need Of the safe
and sane guidance IL enjoyed undc,
the Congress that sat during almost
the entire Wilson administration

lust across the street from the
writer's home lives girl named
Betty.
Two doors from Betty lives an
other girl, Margie.
What a difference between the
two
Betty was on her way 10 school
the other morning and happened
to meet her. At first sight some
thing seemed the matter with her.
Her complexion was bad, and her
clothes didn't look like she'd taken
much pains when arranging them.
Feeling bad this morning,
Betty
"Rotten--all in. And l went to
bed early lastnight, too. Oh, such
a headache"
About a half block away | saw
Margie running up toward us.
"O-o-h-o-o, Betty" she called, way
ing her hand.
In about a minute she had come
up to us. Her cheeks were as red
and she looked as pretty and fulr
of pep as you can imagine. 1t was
plain she was feeling very well.
The odd part about it is Betty
most always feels as she did that
morning, and Margie most always
feels as she did.
Why should these girls be so dif-
ferent? They are of the same size
and age and both come from families
that know very little sickness.
One afternoon after school, a day
or so following our meeting, we
were sitting in my home comparing
notes. The conversation drifted to
food.
"All / had for breakfast today"
spoke UP Betty, "was cup Of
coffee, four cookies and piece OF
cake. For lunch had sour pickle
and some crackers and a cup of
coffee--that's all Oh, yes, and two
humps of brown sugar, too"
well" said Margie, 81 had a
dish of oatmeal, an egg and piece
Of toast, and a glass OF milk for
breakfast. And for lunch today 7
had a lettuce sandwich, a glass of
milk and an apple"
That explained conditions. II
was their food that made the girls
different. Betty ate foolishly-
Margie wisely.
Are you Betty or a Margie?
