A SIDE from the strong dram.

Wives" the Preferred Pic-
ture which opens at Moore's Riaito
Theater today, is unquestionably
a beauty show. B. p. Schulberg,
in lining up the cast, found Il nee
essary to engage actresses who
could not only physically represent
typical society beauties, but who.
at the same time. possessed the
dramatic talent 30 necessary to
properly interpret the roles.
This proved to be q hard task.
and It was several weeks before
the five principal feminine mem.
bers Of the cast were selected, but
when the last contract was signed
such clever actresses as Claire
Windsor. Rosemary Theby. Myrtle
Stedman, Carol Holloway and Mil

Mr.. Schulberg then engaged
House Peters for the chief male
role-the part Of the rich man-a
man who regarded woman merely
as a bit of life's embroidery. Pc
ters is known as one Of the screens
best portrayers OF the rugged type
and as a doer OF out-of-the ordinary

Besides House Peters and the
five beauties named. the cast OF

overwhelming reputation and power
full rebuke yet administered to the
Harding administration and the Do
Nothing Congress. Senator New is
the close personal friend and adviser
of President Harding. He speaks for
the administration upon the floor of
the Senate. Although the President
spoke no public word in his behalf, he
was his silent ally, and all the leaders
of the administration were for him.
The press of both parties for weeks
made it plain that Senator News can
didacy was to be test of the Hard
ing administration, and Senator New
himself made that the issue in his
campaign. Administration organs
were claiming his election when all
the returns showed Beveridge far in
the lead.
1t is clear that the Beveridge ma
jority is a vote of protest within the
party rather than an Endorsement of
any affirmative principles or policies.
A vote for Beveridge was the only
way the Hoosier folk could show their
disgust with the present Congress and
the only way they could answer the
appeal to indorse the reactionary Re-
publican administration, and there
fore New was defeated and Beverage
won.

Leading Farm Papers Condemn
Calamity Tariff Bill.

Here are the views of three leading
farm papers on the Calamity Tariff
Bill:
The Southland Farmer Houston,
Tex.) calls the Senate tariff bill "a
betrayal of agriculture" and saws:
THE promise for protection for farm
products is impossible to bring about
because we are an export nation for
the main farm crops. This tariff will
bring the farming regions of the West
and South under still greater bondage
to the industrial sections of the East
and North. The Emergency Tariff
showed the fallacy of any tariff help
ing prices for farm products to any
extent worth considering. The bill is
one written by special interests for
such interests, with little regard to the
plain people of the country, and it
takes no prophet to foretell what it's
enactment will cost the Republican
party responsible for it."
The Business Farmer INT. Clemens,
Mich.): Nearly all of the agricultural
items are in terms of specific duties.
Reduced to an advalorem basis at cur
rent valuations and compared with
the advalorem rates on commodities
of which the farmer is large pur-
chaser, we find that the agricultural
schedules are actually among the low
est on the list. Of what benefit to
the farmer is rs per cent duty on a
world grain like wheat, of which we
produce large surplus, when he must
turn right around and pay a 40 to so
per cent duty on the majority of
things he buys. The duty on
sugar is an affront to every Ameri-
can consumer. But three and half
million Michigan people are asked to
add several million dollars to their
sugar bill for the direct benefit of
few hundred sugar mil stockholders
and very small indirect benefit of
handful of beet growers"
American Agriculturist IN. Y.):I
"They (our legislators) must bear in
mind that products basic to the proper
production, such as raw fertilizer

Harding Backs Up Fall on Naval
Oil Scandal.

President Harding himself has as
sumed responsibility for the naval oil
leases, according to the Washington
Herald, and has elected to stand by
Secretary Fall just as President Taft
first stood by Secretary Ballinger in
his controversy with Clifford Pinchot
over National conversation.
In the meantime, the unanimous
adoption of the LaFollette resolution
for an investigation, following the
original exposure by Senator Kend-
rick dem, Wyo.,) of the secret deal
by which these naval oil reserves
were turned over to private interests
controlled by subsidiaries of the
Standard Oil Company, promises that
genuine investigation will be made
Of the oil scandal, and may extend to
the designs of private interests upon
the forests, coal and other mineral
lands of the government.
The mastery speeches of Senators
LaFollette and Kendrick upon this
subject, and the mass of facts they
have already presented, completely re-
flute the reasons given by the Ad-
ministration form aking these leases.
The press of the country is becoming
aroused over this grab of the public
domain, involving as it does an on
slaught upon the entire conservation
policy originated by President Roose-
welt and upheld in part by President
Taft and in whole by President Will
son.
There is no question but that the
people of this country are devoted to
the policy of the conservation of nat
ural resources, and that when they
know the facts of this oil scandal
that they will rally to the defense of
that policy and visit their condemna-
ton upon those who would destroy it.
Among the interesting facts in this
connection is that all of our modern
war vessels are oil burners, and rs
per cent Of our great merchant fleet
are the same. The destruction of the
last of our naval oil reserves is there
fore dangerous both to our commerce
and our national defense.

A Little Child and a Small Basket.

"A Lh11iC Shhu anu Cudtl DdShCts
Representative Wingo (Dem., Tex
as) was discussing the bill to regulate
the size of baskets and hampers in
which the farmer must ship his pro-
ducts, when Representative Herrick

Giant Yellow corn and Copper-faced
Hereford cattle, brought on the fol-
lowing colloquy:

Mr.. Wingo-Mr. Chairman, l can

sentative of the Republican party up

No Investigation for Dismissed Of
ficials of Bureau of Engraving.

When Senator Caraway (Dem.,
Ark introduced his resolutions for
Investigations of the wholesale dis
charge of employees of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing and of SOL
diers and sailors protected by statutes,
he predicted that none of his resolu-
lions would pass a Republican Senate.
Senator Caraway is not only one Of
the most yiriIe debaters in the United
States Senate, but he is one Of its true
prophets. Two of his resolutions have
been reported adversely and the third
one so far has been blocked, and will
probably die the same death.
There would seem to be no way with
q Republican Congress to correct the
injustices visited upon these faithful
employees by an office-grabbing adj
ministration as long as the House and
Senate are controlled by reactionary
Republicans. 1t will take a Demo-
cratic Congress to bring the facts to
light, and according to all Democratic
prophets THIS is A DEMOCRATIC
YEAR!

Supplementing the statement of
Frank R. Reid, who defeated Repre-
sentative Ira G. Copley (Rep.) for
denomination in the Eleventh Con-
gressional District of Illinois, that the
tariff bill was written by multi-mil-
lionaires, the Washington correspond
ent of the New York Times throws
additional light on how the pending
tariff was framed by the muIti-mil-
lionaires referred to in collaboration
with the big interests. He says:
at will be plainly charged, it is
said, that three of the largest dye pro-
ducers in the country were present
in an executive session when the rates
were fixed by Republican members of
the Finance Committee.
Senator PoindeXter charged today
that the steel interests lobbyists were
the majority members of the Finance
Committee when the duties on steel
were decided upon. Senator
PoindeXter contends that the steel in
tereSts had manganese ore restored to
the free list.

the situation when | carry my fight

make proper inquiry as to why rep
resentatives of the steel interests
were admitted behind closed doors to
the Finance Committee rooms when
its Republican members were con-
sidering the steel and mangesite
schedules in executive session."
Speaking on the first amendment to
the tariff bill, Senator King (Dem.,
Utah.) said on this same subject:
"We will find in the galleries now
representatives of some of these
trusts and combines and the dye
monopoly. We will find them in the
corridors. They will be found in the
city waiting for the passage of this
bill to prey upon the American peo-
pie"

News Defeat Weakens "Administra-
ton Bloc" in Congress.

The effect of Senator News defeat
in the primaries upon the Harding ad-
ministration is more or less obvious.
Taken in connection with the prior de-
feat of Representative Copley in Hi
nois, it constitutes a terrible warning
to the reactionaries. 1t is evidence
that the folks back home are familiar
with the empty record of this Repub-
lican Congress; that they resent the
failure of the administration to keep
its election pledges to reduce taxes
and revive industry and business;
that they condemn the seating of New
berry in purchased seat in the SEN
ate, an dthat they are generally as
antagonistic to the administration as
they are to the Congress.
1t may be assumed, therefore, that
the slogan; "Stand by the Administra-
ton" will no longer make the appeal
it has made to the Republicans in the
Senate and House who are candidates
for reelection. If the folks back
home won't stand for the social and
political favorites of the administra-
ton like Senator New they cannot be
expected to stand for the lesser satil-
lites. From now on it may be ex-
pected that the administration plans
and policies will create more divisions
among Republicans in both Houses
than heretofore. The weak and wav-
ering will be the first to desert the adj
ministration ship, and after that it is
a matter of conjecture to what extent
the desertion may go. 1t is an axiom
of Congress, "When the water reaches
the second deck, follow the rats"
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1922-05-19

"A Washington correspondent con-
fesses that the Democratic gains in
the recent New England municipal
elections are giving considerable con-
Germ to the so-called leaders Of the G..
10. P. We say so-called because the
Republican party today is "a house di-
vided against itself; it is woefully
wanting in leadership at either end
of Pennsylvania avenue. And the
drift of our New England cities away
from the party in power is due in no
small measure to the popular dissat-
isfaction among the plain people with
the failure of the Republicans to
raise upat Washington a leadership
worthy Of the part of Lincoln and
Roosevelt.
"A strong leader in the White
House might have been able to bring
his party to sense of party sponsor
ship. Whether Mr.. Harding is unable
to supply strong leadership, or wheth-
er he is awaiting the psychological
moment is still matter of popular
debate. But the popularity of the
administration is on the wane. !.
The ringleaders of the Republican
House, however, boast that Mr.. Hard
ing's easy-going acquiescence to date
in their trespassing upon his preroga-
tives suits them. No doubt it does,
but it does not meet the hope of thou
sands of Republicans and Democrats
who voted the Republican ticket at
the last national election.
"New Englanders may be more
Republican than they are Democrat
ic, but they have both the intelli-
gence and the courage to vote against
their party when their party ceases
to serve the nation or to keep its
campaign pledges"

Republican Paper Calls Oil Deal "a
Scandal of the First Magnitude"

New York Globe (Rep. )-Senator
LaFollette points out that fields NAV
al oil reserves) Which were protected
under the administration of Roose-
welt, Taft and Wilson, were thrown
open during the first few months of
the Harding administration, and
states that Federal officials who had
refused to endorse the transfer were
removed. If all that is limited
at is true, Mr.. Harding has scandal
of the first magnitude on his hands.
Added to the bad impression produced
by the recent upheaval in the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving and the
removal of Major Watts because of
his incontinent desire to prosecute
contractors accused of robbing the
public treasury. and the abrupt de-
flation Of the Shipping Boards assets,
Senator LaFollett's discovery be-
comes ominous.
