TAKERS OF OIL FEES
PILLORIED BY REED
MISSOURI SENATOR HANDLES
EX-CABINET MEMBERS WHO
TOOK MONEY.

PEORIA. Ill-Senator James A
Reed OF Missouri, candidate for the
democratic presidential nomination,
fguratively took off his coat here Fri
day night and handled without gloves
the political situation created by the
oil lease scandal in both republican
and democratic parties.
His rivals for the democratic nom
ination failed to escape his denuncia-
ton. In no uncertain language and
with specific mention of the names OF
those involved Senator Reed dealt
bluntly with those who, behind the
mask OF legal services, left govern
ment office and went into the open
market to sell information and infu-
ence to those that were contendlng
against the government
Thrusts at Cox.
After paying eloquent tribute to
George Washington as the greatest
man of centuries and lauding his
American foreign policy OF complete
independence Of foreign broils, Sena-
tor Reed plunged into the present po-
Ttcal situation.
He referred to the presidential as
pirations OF James NJ. Cox, OF Ohio,
defeated in the last election as those
OF a man recently prominent and
declared against the democratic par
ty's carrying the league of nations is
sue into the next campaign.
1T is high time to return to the
doctrines Of Washington, Senator
Reed said I'VE have serious business
at home. Recent events dmonstrate
that we have enough to do to attend
to our own household without essay
ing to run the world We would bet
ter clean up the national capital be
fore we undertake to wash the dirty
linen OF all creation.
Blow at Faith.
What has been recently expressed
at Washington has shocked the pub
lie conscience and almost destroyed
the faith of a nation in their govern
ment. Such a general condition OF rot
tenness indicates grave lowering OF
the moral and ethical standards.
Certain of the dollar-a-year men
saw no harm in awarding to their
own corporations fat contracts. Many
companies and individuals did not hes
itate to rob their government.
"On the heels OF the war came an
other sinister development. There
was an epidemic OF money madness.
1t was discovered that great profits
could be realized by pressing claims
against the government Immediately
there was a flood of designations by
every sort OF government employee
from department clerks to cabinet Of
hCers
They had lived upon the bounty of
their country. They were possessed
OF inside information or they had gain
ed great influence through the public
honors that had been conferred upon
them. They now sought to enrich
themselves in employing that infu-
ence and knowledge against the gov
eminent whose bounty they had &C
Cepted."

No official statement as to how

subscriptions coming at the rate OF
about 81 ,000,0 900 a minute. The sue.

would probably scale down the

Sugar Stocks Make Gains
in Early Trading
By international News service.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-SpecuIa-
tive interest in the stock market
shifted from the railroad to the
industrial, speciality and a small
number Of the oil stocks, in the
early trading today. and the for.
ward movements in many stocks in
these groups, which had been in
progress at the close of Mondays
session, were continued. The rails
were subjected to profit taking,
which, however, was well absorbed,
and the early declines were mostly
fractional. New Haven and a few
of the low-priced rails moved
against the trend of the market
and acquired moderate gains in the
first hour.
The tobacco, copper, steel, sugar
and speciality stocks were the most
important beneficiaries of the buy
ing demand of the market in this
period. Steel stocks responded to
the marking up of pig iron prices
so cents ton and the advance of
81 to So a ton in sheets and bars.
United States Steel sold nearly a
point higher and Independent steels
like Gulf States and Crucible were
active at fractionally higher prices.
United States Realty added 2
points to its 6% point rise of yes
terday and sold up to a new high
at 1903; Universal Pipe and Radiator
sold points higher, completing a
gain of 8 points since Saturday.
American Sumatra Tobacco gained
2 points at 1874, American Sugar
sold above so for the first time
since its violent drop to 80 few
stocks were in new high price
Der stocks also enjoyed an active
market. Radio Corporation lost
fractionally at the opening, but
moved forward more than points
in active buying.
A favorable commentary on bust
ness conditions was furnished by
the weekly report of the American
Railway Association, which showed
that for the tenth, week this year
freight traffic in the week of Nov.
Is exceeded 100000 cars. A total
Of 1,015,704 cars of revenue freight
was loaded in the third week in
November, an increase of 81 per
cent, from the week before. Money
conditions were unchanged and out
side markets were generally firm.
