causes him to wonder what knowledge
of guilt on the part of big Republicans
may cause the leaders to refuse at all
cost to permit the lifting of the veil
which partly covers the doings of the
Department Of Justice.
1t will be recalled that when the
Republicans, with the aid of every in
tcresC that could not use President
Wilson, carried the House in 1918, the
first thing they did was to create the
Graham Smelling Committee, whose
purpose was to dig up enough Demo-
cratic venality in connection with war
contracts to damn the party for forty
years to come. That committee sat
and labored through winters snow
and summers sun and finally reported
that the finger Of suspicion pointed in
the direction of one great corporation
the Standard Steel Company Of
Pittsburgh, controlled by Andrew w.
Mellon, who, shortly thereafter, was
appointed by the President to take
complete charge Of the peoples funds
in his capacity as Secretary of the
Treasury. The ardor which the Re-
publicans showed in creating the Ora
ham Committee and in giving it plen-
teous funds and sweeping authority is
sadly missing when it is now pro-
posed to investigate one of the men,
bers of the Republican cabinet,
After the Committee on Rules had
favorably voted the Woodruff j ohnson
resolution out of the Committee, pres
sure from some high source must have
been exerted upon Chairman Campbell
to cause him to at first fail to report
the resolution, and later to refuse to
report it and finally to have the Com
mittee vote to reseind it's action. 1t
must be humiliating to Republicans
in the country to read Of such perfor-
mances on the part of the men they
elected to Congress. When the mat
ter came up in the House two Demo-
Gratis signally distinguished themscl-
YES by the power, lucidity and ability
Tennessee and Walton Moore of Vir-
ginia. Their speeches pointed out
clearly the merits of the controversy
and held the Republicans up 20 a
richly y meritcd ridiculc. Mr. Garrett
concluded with these words:
"NIr. Speaker, it is extremely pain
full to have to indulge in this sort of
talk, but | wish it understood here
and now that never at any time dur
ing the Democratic administration, or
now, has there been an objection from
any individual, from the former Pre-
sidcnt Of the United States down to
every man who had any discretion in
official activity, to an investigation.
The gentleman from Kansas makes an
assault upon the past administration.
The committee that you would create,
if the gentleman had stood by his
vote, would investigate the past adj
ministration. 1t would add to the
Graham investigation, if it could. The
House organization is in the hands of
the Republicans, The Republicans
woril'' not suffer and injustice by a
committee that might be appointed
and the Democrats would be investi-
gated and the Democratic administra-
ton would be investigated as well as
the Republicans, and they are ready
for it, applause on the Democratic
sidc).
81 have here letter from the form
cr Attorney General of the United
States, man who was assailed more
viciously, probably, chan any official
in high life, except the President him
self, by the Republicans, during the
latter part of his administration.
can not read all Of the letter because
| have not the time. He knows this
committee would investigate him and
he invites the Investigations. What
does your Attorney General say?"
The letter of former Attorney Gen
! cral Palmer gives the facts as to all
| the big cases which were handled by
him as Alien Property Custodian; re-
ferring to the Borscvh Magnetic case
he said:
"'fhe Bosch Magnetic Company was

tered the war its management violat-

its true ownership behind a camou-
