MIR. BRYAN. Politician

We had the pleasure the other day of hearing
brief address by Hon. William ]. Bryan. 1t
political partisan stump speech such might
have expected by Senator Simmons, the recognized
Democratic leader in the senate, by Senator Pat
Harrison the self proclaimed, irreconcable part-
san. 1t was an attack upon the Republican party
lacking ingenuousness except the ingenuousness of
the speaker in admitting only his expectation of
the evils which followed the election of Mr. Harding,
his fiendish glee at the presence of the evils and his
satisfaction that they had turned to be
serious than he had hoped" they would be. Now.
hoped is the very word Mr. Bryan used in this
connection He also expressed his previous san
guineness' of expectation of the troubles which
to come upon the country.
Mr.. Bryan's treatment of the action of the
gress amending the taxation system with respect
TO the profits tax, an appeal to popular
ignorance and prejudice Mr. Bryan knew and any
of ordinary knows that the excess profits
tax was repealed not for the benefit of the rich,
but because the law had broken down. because the
excess profits were diminishing toward the vanish
ing point; because capital being drawn out of
business which it would not only longer sustain
but that business itself with this support withdrawn
would yield curtailed taxes.
Mr. Bryan knows that all tax legislation instituted
by the present congress taken for the purpose
of arrestng the flight of capital to hiding places
where 1t would yield revenue to the govern
ment. He knows that there purpose to
transfer any burden to the poor for the relief of
the rich The latter needed relief from the out
side they already furnishing it for themselves
Their millions already invested and being
more and more heavily investd in tax-exenpt Sc
curities.
We may add that only partisan Democrats. those
who are concerned for their party than for
their country, attempting this deceit the
people. That Republicans have made mistakes may
be admitted and that they have furnished the Demo
Gratis with grounds of censure reasonable unrea-
sonable may also be admitted. But reasonable
man. Democrat Republican, censures them for their
readjustment of the tax system,
Nor are they to be blamed for the evils which
they inherited from the war, the of all our

An impertinence

We suppose the senate of the United States will
regard as something of impertnenee the resolu-
ton adopted by the Tucson Democratic conference,
directing the to institute investigation of
the circumstances surrounding the election of Sena-
tor Cameron. The senators and everybody else will
perceive in the resolution its partisan purpose not
withstanding the disclaimer in the preamble that
there was a partisan purpose in the framing of it.
There was and there could have been other pur7
pose. Certainly the senate cannot relish having its
duty pointed out to it so impudently; the senate
Jay be presumed to be of the proceedings that
had already been taken in the case of Senator Cam
eron it may also be presumed that such develop
ments as there might be in the would have
forced themselves upon the attention of the senate
directly and not in the roundabout way of parti-
san conference.
Then there was something unethical in the reso-
luton: it amounted an adverse comment on
matter which was then in court and it calculated
to affect if not the court which of could not
have been so affected the public from which jurymen
are chosen. The conference was thus led into an
indecency at which all we'll regulated newspapers
the inethat of attempting to influence public
opinion in matters upon which courts are to pass.
But there is one crime which to the politician,
the diplomat and the military strategist surpasses all
others-that is a blunder, and that the crime
committed by the conference when it adopted the
resolution 1t is strange that the trainers of 1t did
not perceive that an inevitable effect of the
luton would be in the coming campaign to create
sympathy in certain quarters with Senator Cameron.
There were in this, as III all similar cases, several
sorts of opinion. There those mostly Repub
leans Fho believed that there had been wrong
doing there others, Democrats, who believed
that there had been wrongdoing; there still an
other and always larger class, composed of Repub-
Iicans and Democrats. who Withholding juds

regularly established for that purpose. The men of

The Cup That Queers

How dear to some hearts is the booteggers liquor
winch many citizen brings into view:
Iheres nothing earth that will do the work quicker
OF giving the dfinker terrible stew;
And If you love varnish and furniture polish
If hair dye is stuff crazy TO sip
Your breath and strength you swiftly demoish
BY means of the liquor that's packed on the hip
The flavoring extract the chemical compound,
Which comes from the bottle that's the hip
I've seen the stuff poured in number of glasses
At parties and dinners where revelry swirled,
And then watched the guests in inanmate masses
Removed from the premises dead to the world
oh, joyous it is to attain a condition
Where all ones surroundings whirl, jogge and skip,
And then spend week with high priced physician
To cure You Of hooch that the hip
The w-fangled liquor the etherized liquor
Which comes from the bottle that's the hip!
oh, is the life of the bootleggers' victim
Who driHks-apd then winks find out il he's blind
Who wakes in three days inquire what has kicked him
And why he has dreams of a horrible kind.
Yes. great are the rum and the gin and the whisky
Which parbol the stomach and wither the lip;
I'd rather get gay with rattlesnake frisky,
Than fool with the liquor that from the hip

follows:
A proclamation, setting aside the
period of May % to q. 1921 as
Trade at Home-Buy Arizona Prod
ucts' week.
The custom of observing a TRADE
at Home" day or week is a new one,
but there can be no doubt in the
mind of any citizen that such an OBJ
servance would be of direct benefit
TO the entire community, calling at
tntion, as it would, to the Importance
of keeping home business and home
money at home.
1t is apparent to every resident that
the prosperity and we'll being of the
individua depends to an incalculable
extent upon the prosperity and prog
ress of the town in which the indi
vidual lives. Therefore, any move
ment which will advance the pros
perity Of the town will be of benefit
to each resident thereof.
TradinS at home is one of the
simplest ways of promoting the well
fare of our community, for every dol
Ter spent at home makes business
better, which means increasing pros
perity. Similarly, using Arizona prod
ucts is one of the logical ways in
which we can improve the b4SSness
not only of our town but o. our
state, keeping at home the money

ing May 27, 1922, as Trade at Home

the city of Phoenix, and do urge that
it be observed by every citizen.
In urging this observance am
confident that once attention of the
people is called to the fact that they
further their own interests by keep

when the people become familiar with
the number nd quality of the prod

five minutes in the halls of congress
are about enough for most visitors.
One elderly women, safely out of
the breathless gallery atmosphere of

when conventions find time to con-
vene, so busy are the badge wearers

Up TO now, Washington has had to
admit that its inadequate assembly

failed to expand enough to accommo-
date all the delegates and visitors to

opposite the Interior building, three
blocks from the White House. and
ground will be broken for it next

tion hall, Washington believes that
nothing will stand between it and
