a political standpoint. Unless a man
can compromise with his associates
and ingratiate himself with the null
titude, the days of his leadership are
numbered. The STORY is told that
Senator Couzens came to Washing,
ton, by appointment, firmly resolved
that he would seek no great favors
for his constituents and serve in the
nation as whole. Truly a most
laudable position but one destined to
change under pressure from the
vote-getters and voters back home.
1t developed that the folks at home
considered their representative in
the Senate an arrogant individual,
man with infexibility of mind, not
DESTROYS of their attention. Then,
the ravens began to croak when the
man sought the office by the gift of
the people and not the chief execu-
tive of the state. According to we'll
informed observers, no oracle was
consulted but the results from the
primary told their own story. Mr..
Couzens obtained the nomination.
Historically, the tiff between these
two industrial leaders had it's in
ception in the candid reference of
Secretary Mellon to the investment
of the Couzens millions in nontaxa-
BILE securities at time when the SEN
ator was criticising the motives of
Mr.. Mellon in advocating the So
called Mellon tax plan. The Senator
| considered it bad taste on the part
of Mr.. Mellon to draw the spotlight
on his personal fortunes and became
incensed. Whether it is revenge or
an honest effort to straighten affairs
in the bureaus long under fire, is
something which the evidence alone
will reveal. On the eve of the cleo
| tons it is reminiscent of the "brick
bat" days when politics had more of
a personal tinge.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Especial to Sank Centre Herald)
Washington, Sept. Somehow,
there is always something amusing
in the spectacle of two rich men
quarreling. The average citizen
lacking in vast accumulation of
worldly wealth, finds some consolation
in the Biblical proverb that "riches
profit not in the days of wrath" Such
is the reception given generally to
the renewal of the, Couzens-Mellon
fued in Washington. Being eminent
lily successful in establishing their
mark in Bradstreet's catalogue of
|ftWhose Who and How Much" the
Senator from Michigan and the dis
tinguished Secretary of the Treasury
are obviously woefully short on the
fine points of behavior during polit-
ical year. They have, in brief, gath
cred much in the marts of trade but
failed to adapt their experiences to
their political environment. Hence,
the smiles and chatting as Mr.. Couz-
ems proceeds to investigate the adj
ministration of Mr.. Mellon.
For time it appeared that illness
and primary elections would provide
an effective blockade of the publicly
announced plans Of Senator Couzens
for an inquiry into the Treasury De-
partment. He proposed to devote the
time of his committee to quizz of
officials in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue and the prohibition unit. Mr..
Couzens told the Senate that he had
reached the conclusion that all was
not we'll in these two Federal organ
izations. The information, from un-
revealed sources, he declared made it

Congressman Haugen States
Stand on Price Legislation
Iowa Man Claims His Recent State
Fair Address Was Misquoted
By Daily Newspapers

In a communication to the Mime
sofa Farm Bureau Federation last
week, Congressman Gilbert N. Haug-
en-, of Iowa, called attention to Ger
tain discrepancies which appeared in
press reports covering his address at
the State Fair on September 4.
The statements to which Congress-
man Haugen took exception referred
particularly to the need at the pres
emit time for farm price equaliza-
ton law His statement reads in
part as follows:
"My attention has been called to
reports indicating my position to be
that market conditions have removed
the need for any farm price equaliza-
ton law at present. certainly
never entertained or indicated any
such thought. To the contrary, the
continued economic depression, es-
pecially in agriculture, requires
prompt action to equalize prices, and
to thus restore normal conditions in
our basic industry, agriculture.
True, prices Of agricultural COM
modities have advanced. The cur
rent price of corn is above the ratio
price; wheat and hogs are consider
ably below. September wheat, for
instance, was quoted in Chicago a
few days ago 241s ecents a bushel
below the Liverpool price or 35 per
cent below the ratio price. If ex-
porters and operators of our ex-
changes, claiming credit for the adj
vance in price, should determine to
put the price of agricultural COM
modities at or above the ratio price.
we would still be at the mercy of
certain spectators and exporters,
who, according to the Federal Trade
Commissions report of June Is,
1923, are evidently engaged in ques-
tionable practices. ..
eff one prefers violent fluctuations
and low prices, if one has more con-
fidence in the present system of price
fixing and manipulation in the grad
ing of grain, if one prefers to have
the prices of agricultural commodi-
ties determined by exporters and
manipulators, and to thus continue
the economic depression; if so, the
suggested delay in legislation will
give the desired results. On the 9TH
,er hand, if one prefers a just and fair
deal to all, the sooner we secure the
enactment of law which will do
away with the evil practices referred
to in recent report of the Federal
Trade Commission, restore foreign
markets, and equalize prices between
agricultural commodities and other
commodities-the quicker the farmer,
the wage Garner, the banker, the
merchant the manufacturer and all
other classes will again start on the
highway to prosperity"

A TALK WITH A SAUK CENTRE
MAN
Mr.. Brown Tells Something of In
terest to Sank Centre Folks

There's nothing more convincing
than the statement of someone you
know and have confidence in. That's
why this talk with Mr.. Brown should
be mighty helpful here in Sank Cen
tire.
John M. Brown, says: "Last spring
I had a lame back and pains across
my loins. could hardly get around
to do anything, and couldn't stoop or
lift without sharp, darting pains
catching me through my back. The
kidney secretions were highly colored
and passed irregularly. Three boxes
of Doan's Pills cured the lameness in
my back and corrected the kidney
action.
Over seven years later, Mr.. Brown
added: "Doan's cured me of an at
tack of kidney complaint and I still
use them now and then as a preven-
tative."

plain that he owed it to himself and
to the country, to expose, if possible,
any corruption and wrong-doing.
Senator Jim Watson of Indiana en-
tered strenuous objections to the pro-
posed inquiry but finally consented.
1t was charged at the, time that the
Michigan Senator was sympathetic to
the "wet" cause and expected to inn
press the nation with the futility of
prohibition enforcement. Many other
things of like nature found their
way into type. The professional
"drys" denied they opposed the in
curry and uged an importial study so
that the evils, if existant, could be
remedied, believing a more whole
some respect for the law would re-
suit. The victory at the primaries
apparently gave the Michigan Senat-
or new strength for his role of the
crusader. He summoned his COM
mittee this week for hearing and
everybody is on their toes expecting
interesting inquisitorial methods, if
nothing more. Times have been dull
in Washington since the oil scandal
passed out of the spot light and the
impending fracas is a choice morsel.
1t is only natural that cautious po-
litical leaders should fail to display
enthusiasm for this late outburst.
That the unpleasantness should have
travelled beyond the epistolary stage
is deploraable to these gentlemen as
they would have considered it more
prudent to have waited longer. But,
the attitude of Senator Couzens is
best described by Homer of our
school-room days "my own great
mind l then consulted" This repre-
sents the criticism of local political
leaders on the inquiry which the
Michigan solon persists in regarding
as legacy from the last session of
Congress.
The inves' ig.tion brings out II any
inquiries as to the personalities of
the two principal characters. 1t is
conceded that they are both men who
have won for themselves immense
wealth. Secretary Mellon is rated as
the second richest man in the world
and Senator Couzens is reported to
have received seventeen millions
from an original investment of five
thousand plus his unquestioned sue
cess as general manager for the Ford
Motor Company. A portrait of the
Secretary of the Treasury would show
him as a mild, unassuming man, not
easily Unidentified in a crowd. No
body contests the fact that he is a
financial genius and the strongest
man in the Cabinet. Unfortunately,
his wizardy at finance is not suffic-
iently counter-balanced for marked
success in the realm of politics. His
successful administration has far
over-shadowed his political plumbers.
Senator Couzens and William M i.
Butler, the Collidge campaign mana
ger, have common fault, which, it
seems, is their chief weakness. Both
are "hard-boiled" business execu,
tives, it is said, unable to adjust their
characters to the new setting. In
many ways this consistency is COM
mendable but it is a total loss from

Young Matron Passed Away
AT St. Raphael's Hospital
Mrs. Fayette Huston Died Friday
Sept. 19-Funeral Held Sunday
Afternoon

+. The passing away of Mrs. Fayette
Huston at St. Raphael's hospital, St.
Cloud, Friday, Sept. 10, 1924, was
not only unexpected but unusually
sad, as devoted husband is bereaved
and three small children are left
motherless.
Ellen Key was born near Brewer
vile, Mimi, Nov. %, 1886. Her
early life was spent in and about
Browerville where she availed herself
of the school privileges and social life
the community offered, Prior to her
marriage to F'ayette Huston, April 6,
1911, she spent brief time in Indi-
ana. The wedding took place in st.
Cloud and was solemnized by Rev.
Hill, pastor of the Methodist church.
Immediately following the marriage
Mr.. and Mrs. Huston settled on the
old home farm about five miles south
east of Sank Centre.
Her health began to fail last Jan
uary following the death of Floyd
Fayette age 21a years. Beside Mr..
Huston, the three children left to
mourn are Pearl, age ~; Henry age
about z; and little Richard Fayette,
only four months.
Mr.. Huston has been sorely af-
flicted. His mother passed away
tightly over a year ago. In Janu-
A-y this year, he laid his baby boy to
rest and new he has been called upon
to bury his beloved wife.
The deceased was one of nine chill
dren born to Mr.. and Mrs. Key. The
surviving brothers and sisters being
James Key of Browerville; Mrs. An
ma Huston, St. Cloud: Mrs. Ruth
Sutton, Browerville; Mrs. Jane
Dean, Browerville; Mrs. Martha
Anderson, Browerville; Mrs. Rose
Morrow, Eyota, MINI. and Charles
Key. The aged father of Mrs. Hus-
ton also survives.
The funeral was held from the
Sank Centre Methodist church Sunday
afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. S. S. Wyand. The re-
mains were laid to rest in Green
wood cemetery.
Mrs. Huston lived for her hus-
band and children, but with all found
ample time to>be good neighbor and
sincere friend. She was greatly be-
loved by those who were closely as
ISOLATED with her in the McCorn lex
Lake community.

Workers News in Russia.
Over in Russia the workers have
| learned to send in the news. Anna
Louise Strong told about it at the
annual dinner of the Federated Press
in Chicago last January. In Moscow
and other Soviet cities the individual
workers stories fresh from the job are
prominently displayed. They increase
the circulation of the paper and they
supply the specific data from the job
which leads to the installation OF
better management methods. If a
technician is sighting his work he is

BY ART SHIELDS.

This article which the editor of the
DAILY WORKER magazine section
asked me to write is addressed to the
voluntary correspondents whom he
wants to get on the job.
1 wish to put over this idea-that
the influence of a revolutionary labor
paper depends on the activity of the
voluntary correspondents from whom
the paper must get large part of its
news.
NEWS! That is the stun that
makes a paper if it is abundant and
interesting-an kills the circulation
if it isn't supplied promptly. The scir-
culation of newspaper depends first
ly on its news columns. Editorials
have their Importance in clinching the
ideas developed from the news but
they don't break the ice into the big
circulation pond as live news does.
And it hardly seems to need stating
that successful appeal to the masses
is impossible unless the masses are
hearing the message.
/ do not wish the reader to think
that regard the news columns as
mere bait to catch a subscriber for
the editorials and special articles. i
am arguing for the news for its own
sake. / believe that no other depart
ment of labor paper has the educa-
tional value of the news pages if
these really mirror the class struggle
with accuracy. / am confident that
nothing stirs worker to action in
this struggle as the running news pic
ture of the fight itself.

land Western Electrics." If it is a
national newspaper it must flash back
the significant events of the farms
and factories of the As states. 1t
MUST do this to awaken national in
terest and achieve power.
This news must be told in your
workingclass newspaper but if the
telling of it depends on the unaided
efforts of the small staff which a class
conscious labor paper can maintain
then the reader will have to go hun
cry for most of the facts he bought
the paper to find. A paper which does
not get and does not want the support
of the department store, banks and
railroads that make possible the huge
stats of capitalist newspapers has to
operate on very low cost basis.
Newspaper cemeteries are dotted with
the crosses Of labor papers that tried
to run on too large an overhead. To
live, a revolutionary labor paper has
to cut its paid staff down to the bone
perhaps down to a bare five editors,
assistants and reporters.
This means that the voluntary cor.
respondent has to put his shoulder to
the wheel if the nations news is to be
done. Fortunately he is beginning to
do it. But he needs to be spurred
into ten times as much action as he is
yet showing.

breaking today. A report has just

yet but there is a fight for this goal
and there are revolutionary papers
that are aiding in this fight. The in
telligent workers duty is to keep his
paper posted about the fight in his
locality. AS in Russia this voluntary
correspondence will not only increase
circulation-the first requisite for
newspaper powerful it supplies the
facts about the class war battles
which other workers must have to
check up with their own experience
and improve their tactics of warfare
against the common enemy.
If the Russian workers, most of
whom could not read or write until
after the revolution, can SEND IN
THE NEWS the American workers
can also.
In another article l will tell how
easy it is to write news reports, the
easiest form of composition. There
are few simple rules to follow and
Presto! the thing is done.
