WHAT CAPPER THINKS
CENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER, o
~ Kansas 1aador of tho farm, hlocl

CENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER, OF
~ Kansas, leader of the farm block
in the senate, says:
"Get. this: The situation the voter
faces is Coolidge or no election. If
the election is forced into Congress,
the people would have no more to do
with deciding who is to be president
of the United States for the next
four years, than would the citizens of
China or Timbuktu. The plain fact
is that Coolidge is the only man for
whom the American people can vote
directly this year for president with
the probability that he will be elect
ed, fact to which every voter should
give serious thought before he casts
a ballot-that is, if he prefers Cool
idge and Dawes to political smash
up"

FARMERS ONLY GET TALK

CENATOR LaFOLLETTE'S concern
- over the condition of the Ameri-
can farmer only finds expression in
the speeches he makes; his record in
congress during the past two or three
sessions has been a blank.
LaFollette did not vote on the
Norbeck-Burtness bill nor did he
move to prevent its defeat in the
Senate this year.
The LaFollette leaders in the house
headed by Congressman Voigt OF
Wisconsin and the Socialist advocate
of LaFollette's election to the presi-
dency, Victor Berger, led the fight
against the McNary-H augen bill.
The strength of the LaFollette men
in the house was large enough to have
turned defeat into victory and saved
the McNary- Haugen bill last sum-
mer, but LaFollette did not speak
the word that would have given the
wheat growers the relief they sought.
But LaFollette's Indifference to
wheat growers goes back at least to
1913 when, during the 66th congress,
an amendment was proposed to the
agricultural appropriation bill to
raise the basic price of wheat from
81 to $3.50 bushel. When the roll
was called March 81, 1918, LaFol-
let did not vote and on July /, 1918,
he gave no support to the farmers
when resolution was introduced to
direct the senate conferees to aband-
on their fight for $3.50 wheat. La
Toilette did not vote on the $50, 00O,-
600 appropriation to relieve farmers
in the drought belts. In the same
session he did not help save the poul-
try growers and sheep men the loss
Of their appropriation for federal as
sistance.
During the 9Th congress, LaFol-
lette introduced 81 bills, sixteen of
which were private measures. One
Of the others Indirectly benefited ay-
riculture since it provided for freight
rate reductions on live stock products
but this bill was not introduced until
two days before congress was to adj
journ sine die!

al Work. Fifteen Years
In Philippines

Mr.. Hampton M. Butler, a resi-
dent Of Burton, Vashon Island,
passed away quietly last Saturday
evening. Mr.. Butler had been an
invalid for a number of years. The
serious illness, however, which led
to his death, had covered but a
few months.
Mr.. Butler was born in Newman,

from the University of Arkansas
in 1877. He was married to Miss

Following this he came to Bell
ingham, where he engaged in bust
ness and was active in religious
work until 1901 when he and Mrs.
Butler received government ap-
rointment as supervising teachers
in the Philippines. For fifteen
years he served successfully and
faithfully in that capacity. He
gave not only the full strength Of
health but sacrificed his health in
that service.
He returned to the states in 1916

his time since then at Burton.
While he was not able to engage
in the strenuous tasks of life he
has, during these later years, spent
much time in Bible Study, and

duties. He has always been ready
to teach or assist in any possible
way consistent with his strength.

War Claims.

Washington, D. C.-The American
reply to the British note questioning
the right OF the United States to col.
lect war claims from Germany out OF
benefits received by that country un.
der the Dawes plan has been dispatch.
ed to Ambassador Kellogg In London
and has been delivered by him to the
British foreign office.
The reply, drafted by Secretary
Hughes was understood to support
firmly the position that the Washing.
ton government had every right ac.
corded to the allied and associated
powers to make It's collections under
the Dawes plan.
President Coolidge is said to be op.
posed to any plan for submission to
the world court or any other tribunal
Of adjudication Of war claims against
Germany under the Dawes plan. His
position also was said to be unchanged
regarding war debt funding to the
United States by France and other
powers.
Mr.. Coolidge was known to be con.
vinced that the American position re.
garding claims collection was perfectly
understood by foreign governments In.
terested and that the right OF collec
tion was established beyond question
by treaty agreements.

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con

to become diseased
Pain in the back, headache, loss of
ambition, nervousness are oftentimes
symptoms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

Like strychnin, it is sometimes given
by doctors in cases of heart failure.
The average cup Of coffee contains the

such cases. The alarming foolshness Of
taking this poison regularly into the
system is borne out by the frightful
limitation of health and usefulness as
compared with the length Of life.
