Democratic Leader
.Lauds Remarks Of
Secretary Weeks
Representative Byrns Says
Cabinet Member Was Right
in Criticising Congress
in Recent Speech.

Washington, July 5.-Delegated by
house democrats to reply to the re-
cent speech of Representative Mon.
del, Wysping the repsblican leader
on "the achievements of congress,
Representative Byrns of Tennessee,
ranking democrat of the appropria-
tions committee, declared in an ex-
tension of remarks, to be printed in
the Congressional Record tomorrow
that Secretary Weeks frankly and
bluntly told the truth" in asserting,
in an address, that congress had
reached its lowest ebb.
"Mr. Weeks is quoted as having
declared in a sudden burst of can
DOR" said Mr.. Byrns, that this con-
gress, which. is overwhelmingly re-
publican, had reached the lowest ebb
in the entire history of the country.
Considering his long service in the
house, the senate and as secretary of
war, testimony coming from such a
high republican source will undoubt-
edly be accepted in preference to
the biased opinion of Mr.. Mondell,
whose candidacy for the United
States senate rests upon the record
made by congress under his leader
ship"
Criticism Harsh.
Feeling keenly the force Of gen.
eral criticism leveled against con-
gress," said Mr.. Byrns, "the majority
leader very harshly criticises those
who have seen fit to condemn the
present congress for its shortcomings
and failure to give evidence of states
manship and keep faith with the
people"
Referring to Mr.. Mondells refer
ence to newspaper editors, Mr..
Byrns declared the editors 'could
take comfort in the fact that in such
criticism. they have been no more
harsh than was the distinguished
secretary of war, who holds such a
high place in the present administra-
ton and whose loyalty to the repub-
lican party not even the gentleman
from Wymoing will deny"
"The difference is that the secre-
tary Of war frankly and bluntly told
the truth" Mr.. Byrns added, while
the gentleman from Wyoming was
speaking with the senatorship upper
most in his mind"
Raps Administration.
After a general denial of the claims
put forth by Mr.. sMondell as to the
saving Of public funds, Mr.. Byrns
declared zone of the most disap-
pointing and objectionable failures"
CT the administration was cts culp-
able neglect to promptly and vigor-
ously prosecute tine war profiteers."
"For IA months the attorney gen.
eral took no steps to bring these
profiteers to justice" he said, "and
there seemed to be purpose to let
the statute of limitation run and and
permit at least many of them to es-
cape commercial and civil liability"
$50 evident did this become" he
added. that two republican repre-
sentatives-Woodruff and Johnson
felt it their duty to bring this neglect
of the attorney general and the De-
partment of Justice to tine attention
OF congress and the country"

Minnesota. He has lived here prac-
tically all his life and numbers his
friends by his acquaintances. The

because she has lived. here for only
two years, is a most lovable young
lady who has endeared herself to all
by her charming personality and many
womanly graces. Mr.. Shanahan is at
present employed as brakeman on the
Northwestern railroad and the young
folks plan to make their home in
Huron. Congratulations and best
wishes.

R. N. A. TO GIVE PATCH DANCE
Spurred On BY woodmen Success, and
Would Go Them One Better

Not to be outdone by their Wood
men brothers, the Royal Neighbors
have completed plans for holding a
patch" dance Friday evening Of this
week in the M. w. A. hall. The sue
cess which greeted the efforts of the
men folks when they staged the "Days
of 49" dance and trimmings has filled
the ladies with a determination to
outdo them.
The person wearing the greatest
number of patches will receive prize.
What this prize will be the ladies'
have not made public, but it will be
good enough to spur the contestants
to their best efforts.
At this distance the proposition
seems just bit unfair, as the num-
ber who will have chance to win is
somewhat limited. For instance, what
chance has man built like Norman
Hovden got when he tries to get az
many patches on his clothes as Gene
Naylor, Martin Jacobs, George Wilson,
or any of the other broad" minded
heavyweights? The only way Norm
could win, it seems to US, would be
to disguise himself as rain barrel
and wear one Of his mothers crazy
quilts. BY any other system, one OF
Genes patches would make an over.
coat for Norm. They say "where
there's will there's q lot Of poor re.
lations," so we will watch the solution
of this problem in trigonometry with
bated breath.

INTEREST IN PURE BRED HOGS
Sales Past Week Show Farmers are
Anxious to Own the Best

j. H. Killer, Lars Martinson and
Malmberg Bros, premier big type Po-
land China hog raisers, are rejoicing
over the success Of the sales held last
week. Once more it has been proven
that blood. will tell and that farmers
are no longer satisfied to own poor
hogs. Nothing but the best will suf-
flee. Not only are people beginning
to realize that the one crop, PROPOSE
tion is loser, but they are learning
that there is money in hogs.
Malmberg Bros, living about three
miles east of Oakes, pulled off their
annual big type Poland China sow and
gilt sale last Thursday, and they are
somewhat dazed when they realize
that in spite Of unfavorable conditions
the bidding was ivelier and the sales
came about with less effort than has
been the case heretofore when times
were better. Arne Melby paid the top
price for hog at Malmbergs' sale,
getting beauty for $160. The boys
disposed Of 80 hogs at satisfactory
prices.
On Friday the scene shifted over to
Jake Kilzer's place, where he and Lars
Martinson held sale of their own,

" FARM BLOC MAKING PROGRESS
Loss of Senator Kenyon Won't Halt
!, Congressional Program

! The loss of Senator Kenyon in his
appointment to the federal bench will
in no way stop the progress Of the
congressional program sponsored by
th.aalcricultural bloc. That program
is going right on-and through him
PEELED by something 80 high and big
and just that beside it the personality
Of leaders and members alike Of the
bloc pale into insignifcance. They are
all mere instruments Of service to that
vast portion Of the population that
tills the soil. Their names, like the
colors of their ties, count for nothing.
Their principles count for everything.
The question Of cooperative mar
-keting, long kept little Orphan An
ME standing outside on the doorstep
of congress, now occupies position Of
honor in the mighty senate chamber.
With the president Of the United
States formally and officially commit
ted to it, and with hitherto iron-barred
senate doors giving way before it, it
is just matter Of short time before
it will be written into the law Of the
land. The Volstead-C -Capper bill will
cut the irons from the farmers heels
and permit him to go to market along
side his neighbor and in comparative
safety from the bandits who would
,way-lay him on the road. The Amer
lean farmer can never be an efficient
salesman Of his own products without
the clear legal right to market them
collectively.
Other measures to which the So
called. farm bloc has given it's sane
tion include the Capper- -Tincher anti
grain gambling bill, bills regulating
cold storage and providing for ade-
quatel control Of the packing indus
try, the Capper-French truth-in-fab-
RIGS bill, the bill that places repre-
sentative of agriculture on the Federal
Reserve board, and bills creating more
liberal banking credit, particularly
personal credit, on crops and farm
machinery, and making such paper
more easily discountable.
Much of this legislation has been
passed and the remainder advanced
to stage where passage, in the not
far distant future, may be foreseen.
The whole program Of simple justice
to the farmer has gained such mo-
mentum that nothing can stop it.
Not that there must be any let-up
in the fight. With the departure Of
the Iowa senator from the councils
and voting strength Of the bloc, it's
members must and will carry on with
increased vigor. And anyone that can
see in the loss of Senator Kenyon
anything like the possibility Of the
farm bloc disintegrating has his spec
tacles covered with Wall street dust.
