HARDING FUND" EXPOSED
Senator Harrison Says Part Of
Money Was Spent in Missouri.

Washington, May s.-The Harding
administration was denounced in the
United States senate this afternoon
by Senator Pat Harrison, Democratic
leader from Mississippi, for appoint
ing to office Missouri politicians in
volved in the Lowden campaign fund
scandal.
/ The complete story of the manner
in which the Lowden money was used
in the state was paraded before the
senate in all its scandalous details,
the senator not confining his criticism
alone to the appointment of Nat
Goldstein to the St. Louis internal
revenue collectorship, which is pend
ing before the senate for confirma-
ton, but quoting literally from the
testimony taken by the senate inves-
tigating committee at the time he cit
ed others mixed up in the mess who
had been honored by the administra-
ton.
"Those who received corruption
money to influence the delegates in
Missouri before the last Republican
convention are the ones who now
have the high places in the state"
said Harrison, serving notice that he
intended to force the debate on Gold
STEMS appointment out in the open
if it were possible to do SO and that
how each senator voted on Gold
stems nomination certainly should
be made public.
1t was freely predicted, even by ad-
ministration senator's, tonight that
Goldstein never would be confirmed.
If the nomination should be voted
from the committee, where it now is
locked up temporarily, it is very
doubtful if votes can be mustered to
get senate approval for his appoint
ment. Meanwhile, efforts are under
way to get the nomination withdrawn.
Curiously enough, the Republican
senator's do not blame President
Harding as much as they do Senator
Spencer for the embarrassing situa-
|tion that has followed Goldstein's APP
pointment. Republicans say Spen-
GERS insistence on Goldstein's nomi-
nation has put the party needlessly in
the "hole,' and given the Democrats
campaign thunder for which there
was no excuse.
In the course of his speech Senator
Harrison read extracts from the tes-
timony of "Liv" Morse, before an in
vestigating committee, telling how
Cole happened to have been sent
money by both the Lowden and
Harding forces.
"Mr. President, that is the charac
ter of men that here are holding high |
positions in the federal service today |
at the instance of this administra-
tion," continued Harrison. "Those
who received corrupt money to influ-
ence delegates in Missouri before the
last Republican national convention
are the ones who now have the high |
places in that state. Allen is state
prohibition agent, and he received
$500. Cole received $500 from Low
den and $1,25o from Daugherty on be-
half of Harding, and he is now assist
ant attorney general of the United
States. Roy c. Davis, minister to
Costa Rica, appointed by this admin
istration, received $500. Goldstein is
the next on the list, and you will be
called on to say by your votes wheth-
er you will endorse the Presi-
dents action in sending to the SEN

Sherman's Army Did Do One Thing
for Us
Mr.. ]. C. Huggins Of Lanes Greek
township served in the Civil war and
he doesn't think any more OF
Sherman's march to the sea than the
average Southern man. However, MT
Huggins says that memorable raid did
one thing for this section that has
been worth great deal. He explains
that before the war that little plant
known as lespedeza was an unknown
quantity in the South, but that Sher-
mans men used it to feed their horses
while on their march to the sea ano
that from the seed scattered at feed,
ing places this most valuable OF al
soil-builders became known to the
farmers OF the Soulnianu. al hiSi
all over Union county have come e
realize the value of lesredeza and il
is being used more largely this yeai
than perhaps any other clover OF
plant of any description for soil
building and hay-makin- purposes
Mr.. Huggins states that the Yankees
imported the hay from Japan during
the war and that it has been general!
known since that time as Japar
clover. He also says that if land il
permitted to clay out" for few
years this lespedeza plant will cove
il and will greatly improve the Ter
tility of the soil without a seed beini
sown, so rapidly has been the sprea'

a farmer in the Marshville commun-
ity replied: "There can't be, for so
much was sown to small gram last

land to plant to cotton. He then ex-
planned that never in the history OF

WHO'S RIGHT, WHO'S WRONG
Many Men Are of Many Minds and
Few Agree on the Ills Of
the Country
By l.. f. Huggins

A citizen of the county a few days
ago remarked that we don't know
anything about hard times. He then
referred to the fact that boys and
girls now wear five and ten dollar
shoes the year round, whereas when
his mother was girl the children
never had any shoes at all until
Christmas and then they got a pair
of homemade brogans for Christ
mas present. THAT was before the
civil war;" he continued, "but there
were hundreds and thousands of boys
and girls in the state after the war
that went barefooted until about jan
uary." He continued by saying that
the people have added one luxury af-
ter another to their living expense
until we have reached the day Of the
cost of high living instead OF the high
cost Of living.
The American standard of living,
especially in the south, has been
raised to a great extent for the past
half century, but it is no higher than
II should be. OF course it costr more
money to live in highly civilized
state than it did to live in the old days
but who is willing to go back to the
old standards that prevailed years
ago? A highly civilized people is ca
pable of earning and producing more
than a semi-civilized people. While
our present standards of living re-
quire vastly more money than the
standards Of half century ago a cor
respondingly larger sum of money is
at our command. Occasionally fel'
low hops up and declares that, after
his living expenses are paid, he has nc
more surplus cash than he had in the
"good old times" when it didn't cost
SO much to keep the wolf from ths
door. While that may be true, he
certainly has more than he would
have been able to save after paying
for the same conveniences in those
days that he now enjoys. The fellow
who processes to prefer that every
thing remain just like it was wher
Noah came out of the ark is fooling
himself. The trouble is that we want
