One year ago tomorrow was the
date of the memorable banquet held
in Delta In honor Of the birth of one
of our most illustrious presidents,
VIM. Mckinley.
Over one hundred and fifty people
sat down at that banquet and enjoyed
the feast of reason and flow of soul
that characterized the proceedings. 1t
was a wonderful success in every
particular. 1t was heartfelt tribute
to VIM. Mckinley, that splendid Amer
ican whose every fibre pulsated to
every instinct for the good of Ameri-
ca and the American people, whose
whole life was devoted to their SER
vice and who gave up his life at the
hands of an assasianin while serving
them as their beloved president.
VIM. Mckinley was born on the
29th of January, 1s43, was shot Sept.
ber 6, 1901, while attending an exposi-
tion at Buffalo, N. Y, and died Sep
tember IA thereafter. He inherited
from his line of ancestry a sturdy
English and Scotch-1rish spirit. He
early entered public life and went
through to the end as he began
broad minded, public spirited and en-
tirely uncontaminated by the corrup-
ting influence of politics. Had he been
a politician instead of statesman he
could have been nominated for the
presidency in 1888 and also again in
1892 But on those two occasions he
was too honest and honorable-too
little a politician-to lay aside his
personal pledges and seize the nomin-
alton when it was offered to him. We
feel that every American youth should
make careful study Of the life, char
acter and activities of this great
American If he does he cannot help
but learn everlasting lessons of loyal
ty and integrity.
The principal speaker at the ban
quet last year was Chas. A. Ballreich,
Of Pueblo. who captivated his audience
with one of those splendid talks for
which he is noted. In the course of his

A SORRY RECORD

Washington, Jan. 24-"The Demo.
cratic Administration which is now
nearing it's close will long be memor.
able in the industrial history of the
United States" declares the Repub-
lican Publicity Association. through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne
Jr After eight years of full control
of the economic policies of the Gov
eminent that party will relingquish~ its
management of affairs with finance
and industry in state of chaos. For
their future guidance in determining
their action at the polls it will be we'll
if the people of the country keep in
mind a few fundamental and impor-
tant facts.
During the past eight years the
Wilson Administration has been YES
ted with power unprecedented In
American history. The economic laws
which it enacted are still on the
statute books. 1t is still in full con-
troll of the administration Of those
laws. Statistics compiled by one of the
leading Democratic newspapers of the
country show that the present indus
trial depression was foreshadowed by
stump in the stock market which
began in November 1919 a full year
before the election which determined
the change of party administration.
Statistics compiled by the same per-
iodical show that the slump in the
values of farm products began early
in June 1920 before either of the
political parties had held it's national

convention and five months before the
outcome of the election was known,
Not by any possibility, therefore, can
it be argued that the change in party
control is in any way responsible for
the present industrial depression.
"Under the Democratic tariff law
millions of bushels of Canadian wheat
came into the American market early
in the season supplying the immediate
needs of American mills and depriy
ing the American farmer of his mar
ket. AS consequence, mills are not
in the market to buy. The American
farmer cannot sell his grain for
price that will cover the cost of pro-
duction and throughout the grain
growing section there is every indi-
cation that the planting for 1921 will
be diminished in area. Neither oats
nor corn will sell for enough to cover
the cost of production, and, according
to reports, the latter commodity is
being used for fuel. The cotton and
tobacco producers of the South are
similarly embarrassed and an extern
sive organization is under way for the
purpose of restricting production of
both of these agricultural products
during 1921. There is reported to be a
billion pounds Of wool in American
warehouses; there are millions upon
million of pounds of foreign wool
here or on the way here. and the
American sheep-owner is unable to
sell either his wool or his sheep
Prices which farmers are able to OBJ
tain for other agricultural products
are insufficient in corresponding
degree, with the result that mainten-
ance of food production is seriously
threatened at time when nearly half
the world is suffering for want of
food. Moreover, through its control
of the Federal Reserve System and
its consequent control of credits and
the manner of the exercise of that
control, the Administration has large
ly brought about the present depres-
sion in values of agricultural pro-
ducts.
During the war, the Wilson Admin
istration had almost absolute control
of every important line of industry.
1t fixed a maximum price for wheat
and controlled the marketing Of that
product. Through the War Trade
Board, exports of all commodities
were under the control of the Admin
istration. The marketing of wool be-
came a Government function Through
it's control of transportation the mar
keting of various domestic products
was regulated to suit the judgment or
whim Of the appointees of President
Wilson.
During the closing months Of the
war, Republicans in Congress proposed
the creation of commission on re-
construction to forecast and solve the
problems which would confront the
nation on the restoration of peace. but
this commendable measure was de-
feated on orders from the White
House, Through refusal to prepare
for peace as it refused to prepare
for war, the Wilson Administration
has made itself wholly responsible for
the situation which exists today"

One of the best and most depend

Of keeping well is to form and main
tain the exceedingly good habit Of
regular, thorough, daily bowel evacu-
alton.
That is Natures "best bet" You
should do your best to help Nature,
not hinder her in her efforts to keep
YOU well. With the best of good in

thods. Strong. drastic acting medic

ply replace one evil by another evil.
II may secure temporary action but it
produces more than temporary ir-
ritation and other bad effects. Don't
judge by promise in selecting sim

formance is the true test. Take
Beecham's for example.
Over 20 years ago people began
10 take Beecham's. Today millions
of people all over the world take
Beecham's, recommend Beecham's TO
their friends, hand the use of Beech
ANS down from father To son OF
from mother to daughter for gener-
alton after generation. That means
much. You never hear any unfavor-
able criticism or complaint regarding
Beeeham's. That means much il
not more. 1t takes real merit to
withstand the tests of time and trial
You can do much to help Nature
keep you well by keeping a box Of
Beecham's in the house, ready for
use at the first warning of disorder
or arrangement. All druggists
sell Beecham's-are glad to sell
