to humanity.
Speaks Of Corruption.
Speaking for all good and
thoughtful citizens Of every po-
litical creed, / must enter a SOL
emn protest against the impress
sion, recently created, that there
is widespread corruption In the
Government at Washington. 1t
Is true that out Of all the inves-
legations, pursued In every direc-
ton, there have been exposed to
the scorn Of the country instances
of bribery and dishonesty on the
part Of public officials, and Of
cupidity and over-reaching on the
part Of those who are ready to
use their opportunities to de.
bauch those in office. It IL true
that the whole world was she'll
shocked by the war and has not
yet recovered it's equilibrium:
that the effect Of this great con.
changes, its untried and stupen.
dous problems, has temporarily
weakened the moral fiber Of hu-
mainly and diminished here and
there that high regard for the
dictates Of loyalty and honesty in
public and private station which
has ever been the ideal Of the
nation. Violent changes have
brought to light unworthy mo.
tives and grasping avarice. But
the heart of the American people
is sound, and the gross influences
that accompany and follow every
war will pass away. Our highest
duty in the midst of all these ru.
mors Of iniquity is to punish the
guilty, but at the. same time con.
denim exagger2tiofn and protect
the innocent. 1t is an infamous
crime to seek to destroy the con.
fidence of the American people
in the Government under which
they live. There is no criminal
whom any investigation could
expose who is more false to de-
cency and honor than the man
who would besmirch the name of
honest citizens or distort the
truth for partisan advantage or
personal exploitation. It is a
most grievous wrong to broad
cast to the nation and to the
world the mouthings Of criminals
and slanderers who would seek
to scatter the slime Of their own
imaginations and hatreds. Among
the thousands of public servants
in Washington, in legislative
halls, in administrative positions,
in all the complicated machinery
OF the Government, it was never
true, and 1t is not true today,
that there is any considerable
number recreant to their trust.
The vast majority Of public Of

in grief mourned his death; the
whole world mourned him as a
lover of peace and good will. If
ever he made those mistakes
which mortals must make, 1t was

which thought no i'll of friend or

Praise For Harding.
If I may initiate and enlarge
upon the words of a funeral
eulogy uttered by a famous ora
tor, it may be said of Harding
that If all who have gained in
spiration by listening to his elo-
quent words. everyone who has
felt the warm grasp of his friend
ly hand, the many who received
his sympathy in days of sorrow,
were to plant a flower upon his
grave, a tangled wilderness of
flowers would surround his tomb;
the snow-white anemone, the blue
violet, blossoms of golden hue or
brightest red, peoples like those
from Flanders field would spread
a garment of beauty all around.
Rest, Wearied Spirit, rest in
peace, secure in that lasting re-
membrance which belongs to the
immortals.
This convention has one unique
distinction which in itself will
give it most notable place in the
history of party gatherings. This
IL the first time in national
political convention that women
have taken their place as dele.
gates under a right of suffrage
vouchsafed by the Federal Con-
Stitution. More than 400 are
here as delegates and alternates,
giving emphasis to this radical
departure. You are welcome,
thrice welcome here; welcome to
the privileges and responsibilities
the triumphs and rewards, of par.
ticipating in the control Of this,
the worlds foremost democracy.
In this later day when woman's
sphere has been so enlarged,
when social questions have as.
Sumed such Importance, and the
aims of government are more in
terms of human welfare, the finer
graces, the keen discrimination of
women are needed in the body
polite. 1 scarcely need remind
you that of the thirty-six States
which ratified the suffrage amend
ment at least three.fourths belong
in the Republican column, and in
the last Presidential election all
but three gave majorities for
Harding. And now no nonchalant
or superficial regard for this new
duty will suffice, whether you
favored suffrage or not. This
convention relies upon your &C.
tivities in the coming campaign
Survey Of Record.
Let us survey briefly the record
Of this Republican administration.
The 4th of March, 1921, witnessed
a country still suffering from the
results of the colossal world
struggle; there was disaster upon
the land. The war with it's after
math of reckless expenditure and
feverish living had given place
to a dull. hopeless inactivity.
Here, as abroad, were industrial
depression and armies of unem-
ployed. Indeed, five millions were
seeking work and finding none.
Formal peace had not been estab-
l1shed with the nations with which
we had been at war. There was

with large margin left over. Tbs
figure mentioned was arrived at
after engineers of national and in.
ternational reputation spent six
months in making surveys. They
found a 40 per cent waste in Ameri.
can industry.
The basis Of this waste lies large.
ly with the individual consumer,
who. thoughtlessly. in most cases,
creates demand for endless varie-
ties, styles and grades.
The industries in which there IL
an average 40 per cent waste, &C.
cording to Mr.. William A. Durgin,
chief Of the division Of simplified
practice in the Department OF Com.
merce. are metal trades. boots and
shoes. textiles, printing, building
end mems clothing. Perhaps there
ere other industries where the per.
centage Of waste is Just as great,
but the ones mentioned have been
particularly surveyed.
AS an example OF what can be
done toward eliminating waste in
industry. 1t is pointed out that a
large producer OF mems shoes re.
Gently eliminated 9S.7 per cent Of
his former line. A manufacturer
Of food products has, through sim.
plif1ed practice, decreased the va.
riety Of his output 50 per cent. with
Q decrease Of 70 per cent in cost OF
sales force. IS per cent saving in
advertising and an 80 per cent saw.
ing In overhead. with an increased
sales volume Of 900 per cent.
An almost endless list Of in.
stances Of this kind may be found
in the records Of the division of
simplified practice.
1t Is a splendid phase Of thrift
work, in which each individual can
prove of helpful cooperation. II
also emphasizes the fact that there
are perhaps few businesses that
cannot by intensive study Of this
phase OF their activities. introduce
methods that will very greatly con.
tribute to their more profitable op.
erations.
