REED ON THE REVENUE BILL

In discussing the proposed Revenue
bill in the upper House the other day
Senator Reed delivered telling and
unanswerable speech, from which the
following extracts are taken. The en-
tire speech is we'll worth reading:
Mr.. President. we are confronted
with singular situation. A bill pro-
posing to raise over $4,000 100000 by
taxation is brought to, the Senate.
Not one of its sponsors has arisen to
explain its terms or eulogize its vir-
tues. They simply drop it like an il
legitimate baby on the public door
step and run. They have not had the
grace to append the anonymous leg
end usually attached ID the skirt of
the child of shame: please be kind
to the baby; it was not to blame"
Apparently these learned gentle
men are aware that the fifth amend
ment provides that mo person, shall
be compelled in any egiminalhcase to
be a witness against himself, % and
have concluded to exercise their con-
stitutional right and stand ,mpte,'"'
Go and tell the soldiersoy you could
not pay them approximately $20OO0O,c
900 year to equalize the frightful
sacrifice they made because you want
ed to take $450,000,00 year off Of
the burdens of the profiteers who are
still reaping war profits, who are still
selling shoes for $12 that they make
out of cowhides for which they pay
the farmer $1.25 each.
Go and tell the farmers of the coun-
try you had to cut the Agricultural
appropriation to the very bone and
were only able to give them $1,000

100000 off of the taxes of gentlemen
who enjoy incomes in excess of $685.

Go and tell those interested in good
roads that you first induced Congress
to cut down the amount asked from
500, 900, 900 to $75,00O,0o0, and then
cut the s75,0OO,OO0 which had actually
been appropriated, in order to save

the Elvins girls were soon found to

1t would be equally interesting if

what excuse there could be now for

There must be an absolute divorce
from all such pettishness if the Dem

that either, or both, should be all-pow-

then there is flaw in the construc-

are broken by smile that radiates cordiality.
 President Harding walks slowly, talks slowly, and makes up his mind slowly; but he gives the impression of polished deliberation rather than of over-caution or abashment He is a good conversationalist and a good listener, and has O faculty of getting through embarrassing situations with little show of embarrassment
 The new President is unusually fond of children, though he has none of his own. He is a lifelong Baptist and a trustee of his home church in Marion. He has been a member of the Elk and Moose fraternities for years, and since his election to the presidency has become a thirty-sec- ond degree Mason and a Shriner. Golf is his favorite recreation, and he likes to fish but does not hunt. He plays hard, and possesses the faculty of put ting all. his worries out of his mind during vacation hours.
 Of all the presidents, MT. Hardin's close friends Hken him most often to Mckinley, with whom he has in com mon a predominant passion for obliteration of class and sectional lines.

MRS. HARDING IS NOT TROUBLED
 ABOUT SERVANTS

Washing-ton.-Mrss. Warren G. liar ding found her servant problem solved for her when she became mistress of the White House today.
 Cooks, chambermaids, laundrywo- men, butler and pantrymen-20 in all, are provided by the government at a cost of s30,O00 a year and there is hCusekeeper who has been in charge of the servants since the ad- ministration of former President Taft. Previous to that time a steward was in charge.
 Only the expense of the personal servants which a new president and his wife may choose to have accom- pany them to the White House is borne by the chief executive Mrs. Harding has retained the services of Inez McWhorter, her cook, and a chauffeur, but she found at the White House four cooks retained by the government and four chauffeurs.
 The matter of supplying the White House table may not prove as simple for all food purchased whether for the private table or for state func- tions must be paid out of the pocket of the chief executive. Caterers to the White House usually are selected by the housekeeper unless the first lady of the 1and'' desires to follow particular preferences which may previously have been formed.

HARDING WON WAY UPWARD AFTER LONG
 AND BITTER BATTLE

hington:-Whateve else he may be Warren G. Harding always
 classffies himself as an editor. pub
 fisher and printer, proud of his pro feSsiona1 accomplishments and train ]: ing. His 1uck-charm and most sa- cred possession is a printers rule, carried in his pocket wherever he goes: and his Nose friends say he i day than grant an audience to an ambassador.
 For more than thirty years MT. Harding's bread and butter has been earned by the Marion Star, whose re- sponsibilities he assumed under heavy mortgage and whose early years he nourished at the expense of going hungry more than once him self. Since. his nomination for the Presidency he has faced only one i public ordeal that aroused emotions i he could not master: That was the temporary severance of the ties that bind him to the Star: On election i night, when a group of his employees ! came to congratulate him, his voice i broke and his big frame was shaken :. by sobs when he undertook to speak :: of the separation that must be the price of his triumph.
 Election day was MT. Harding's Hfty-fifth birthday, and all the inter ] ests of his lifetime had been rooted ] in the immediate vicinity of Marion. i He was born at Blooming Grove, O., lin an adjoining county, the son of a scountry doctor, George T. Harding, who still visits his patients about the o4d-school practitioner. The new i Presidents mother has been dead for : many years and his father is re- lnarried.

He broke with his first partner over the question of installing a telephone in Ethe newspaper office, a proposal which { the partner held to be impractical, extravagant and revolutinary, AL though he retains a controlling finan- .cia1 interest in the Star, now 8 sue cessful newspaper, MT. Harding will
 occupy but a titular relationship to 1. 1t during his Presidency.
 Three times before he has held public office. He served in the Ohio legislature and as lieutenant gov ernor of the state, and six years ago he was elected to the United States Senate where he became a mem ber of the Foreign Relations com nnfttee. In 1916 he was chairman of the Republican national conven- tion.
 Tn personal appearance the new President is a man to attract a sec ond look in any crowd. He carries
 his two hundred and ten pounds with
 out a. hint of obesity, although he is not quite six feet tall; and his mass
 i've features round out an impress Sion of force and distinction. His
 hair is iron grey-almost silver grey making sharp contrast with the
 unusually heavy black eyebrows that
 almost mask a pair of calm grey
 eyes. It is only in repose that his
 face takes on the aspect of severity
 seen so often in his photographs

Hard Year for Planters.

The following is taken from re-
cent issue Of the Enterprise, publish
ed at New iberia: ''By the middle of
this week from what we can ascer-
tain, every sugar refinery in South
Louisiana will be through the grind
ing operation for 1920 season. The
crop has been one Of the shortest,
and we might say, least profitable
since 1911. In some instances some
of the refneries had finished making
sugar after a two weeks run. The
cane farmers are very much in the
same shape as the rice farmer, only
getting enough in cash to harvest his
crop and bring it to the mills. The re-
will be paid over to the grow
er Of the cane when the sugar is put
upon the market at an advanced
price There is a great deal of dis
over the small price rea-
lized in cash, number of cane grow
ers not being satisfied to await until
the demand for sugar reached an ad-
vanced figure. It is unfortunate
that so many of our farmers are not
in position to await the time when
they can get all that is coming to
them and it is generally predicted
that they will sacrifice their interest
rather than wait an advance in
