PEPPERS ALBANY
/ SPEECH ATTACKED
Newberry Case Remarks by
WSenator Draw Fire
!, of Democrats.

A partisan political debate occupied
much Of the time of the Senate yester-
day, democratic senators taking excep-
ton to-a -speech made by Senator Pep
per ofsPennsylvania, in Albany. We'd
nesday~night, on the Newberry election
case. Senator Pepper later defended his
remarks.
The attack upon the Pepper speech
was led by Senator Ashurst OF Arizona,
who referred particularly to that part
of the speech in which senator feppel
had said that the democrats. in the
Newberry contest. "Inouthed about the
honors Of the Senate and integrity OF
the Individual, and then proceeded TO
tarnish that honor and impair that IN.
tegrity by voting like a flock of sheep.
Engage In sharp Exchange.
Senator Pepper. the youngest of the
senator's in point of service, having been
appointed to succeed the late senator
Penrose, was not present when Senator
Ashurst launched his attack against
him, but entering the chamber later in
the day, engaged in a sharp exchange
with the Arizona senator.
Questioned by Senator Ashurst. ME-.
Pepper said he had been quoted cor
rectly, and added he had assumed
that senator's would consider the
this apparently had been done by the
republicans. in view of their division
on the vote seating Senator Newber-
ry.
The question of honor. Senator Pep
per declared, was raised by the DEM
ocrats.
II chose to accept that issue, only
j reversed the Sides" said the Penn
sylvania Senator in his address,
which was his first in the Senate.
Asks About Republicans.
Senator Ashurst inquired whether
Mt. Pepper considered that the re-
publicans who voted against Senator
Newberry had violated their honor
and whether Mr.. Pepper was sex
cusing or condoning' them.
Senator Pepper replied that his re-
marks on the question of honor in
the Voting did not apply to any
senator's who dissented. from the re-
cent remarks of Senator Reed, DEM
ocrat, Missouri. The latter, in the
speech referred to, attacked the sup
porters OF Senator Newberry and
said there was mot a senator who
voted for this resolution (seating the
Michigan member) who did not brand
in red letters above and across his
political record the word 'dishonor.' "

GALLIVAN SAYS DRY LAW
ENFORCEMENT is FAILURE
Increased Cost of Efforts Only Net
Result, He Asserts-Raps Gun
official Spies"

ASAs&A SP4CSs
Increased cost Of enforcement is
tie only net result of two years
trial by the United States government
to enforce prohibition, Representa-
Massachusetts,, declared in a speech
put into the Congressional Record
yesterday. while he himself was Sc
riously i'll with influenza in Wal
ter Reed Hospital. The speech makes
a general attack on Commissioner
Haynes, charging lack of enforce
ment.
commissioner Kramer invited the
clergy to aid in enforcing the Vol
stead law by acting as informers on
the members of their congregations"
said Mr.. Gallivan, "and Commissioner
Haynes invited the public school
teachers to take up the same work.
but both the clergymen and the
school teachers rejected the invita-
ton of turning informers, as one that
would bring upon them the suspicion
of playing the spy.
These efforts to organize bands of
informers to assist the official informers
all contradict the assertions Of the
friends of the Volstead law that it is
being observed by the great ma jority
of the people, for any law that must be
enforced by organized and unorganiZed
informerS, official and unofficial spies,
cannot win the respect of the people.
These efforts are confession of fail
ure on the part of the prohibition unit,
just as its demand for more money is
a confession of failure"
Mr.. Gallivan charged that Commits
sioner Haynes had asked Congress for
S10,000,000 ito spread the doctrine of
discomfort, the doctrine of .bolshevism
of Russia at horne.'' and the commits
sioner demonstrated his uncertainty
as to his own duties by devotng more
time to propaganda than anything else"

The Christmas Tree Trade.
Mortified News)

About this time some people always
denounce the custom of cutting down
little evergreen trees for Christmas
use. They maintain that land own
ers are thereby wasting one of their
resources and helping to keep forest
lands denuded.
Nothing, however, seems to take
the place of the little tree for Christ
mas decoration. 1t brings the love-
illness of the woods into crowded city
homes and stimulates good cheer and
merriment. 1t adds to the happiness
of children and suggests thoughts of
beauty to the older folks. It is worth
a good deal to the country to have
this spirit of gladness come into mil
lions of homes.
Farmers and owners who cut these
little trees claim they grow fast. They
are found on land most of which
would otherwise be worthless. If our
woodlands are properly cared for, the
children can have their festive little
evergreen saplings without interfer-
ing with national prosperity.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1922-12-27

The state press are noting with ex-
pressions of regret that Supreme
Court Judge w. w. Miles of Barton
is not to be a candidate for reelec-
ton again, as announced in his home
paper last week. Judge Miles was
appointed to the Superior court bench
by Gov. C. J. Bell in 1905 and by vir-
tue of tenure of office and ability has
advanced to a position of prominence
in the states highest judicial tribu-
nal. AS Barton's first citizen and as
one of the county's most learned and
distinguished citizens this paper con-
graduates Judge Miles on his decision
to retire from active duties and spend
his remaining years in quiet and
peace among his friends and with his
family. Judge Miles II years rest
lightly upon his shoulders, due to his
rugged constitution, temperate life
and love for the out-of-doors, the fox
hunt being one of his favorite recrea-
tions. Our holiday wish for Mr.. Miles
is a long season of restful years for
the enjoyment of his we'll earned res
pite from labors, filled with pleasant
memories of his yesterdays" OF
achievement.
