PORTRAITS OF G0ETHE'S
FAMILY ARE RETURNED
Paintings Sent Back to Frankfurt
by italian Authorities After
Many Pleas.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press
BERLIN.-After having been out
Of Germany for 43 years, the famous
family portraits of Goethe's maternal
ancestors were restored to the City
Of Frankfurt by the Italian authori-
ties.
The pictures were always be-
queathed from generati ton to genera
ton as family heirlooms and in time
passed from Goethe's grandfather, the
burgomaster of Frankfurt, Johann
Wolfgang Textor, to his son, Johann
Wilhelm Textor, a brother Of the au-
thor's mother, the historical Frau
Rat" In 1884 this TeXtor's son took
the pitcures to his country estate
near Pallanza on Lago Maggiore,
where he died during the World War
All his possessions were promptly at.
tached by the Italian government AS
alien enemy's property and the pic.
lures sold at auction to the munich
pality of Pallanza, which later pre-.
sented them to the towns celebrated
native, Gen. Cadorna.
After years of apparently fruitless
endeavors, the archbishopric Of Frank
furt finally succeeded in Inducing the
Italian government to restore these
irreplacable Goethe hefrlooms to
Frankfurt, the city Of the }reat poets
birth.

Corrupt Capital" Assaiied By
Senator Reed.

Appealing for a return to the old-time
fundamentals Of government, Senator Reed.
Of Missouri. declared last Saturday. in a
speech before the Tennessee Bar Associa-
ton. that the time had come when the
patriotic people Of the country should rise
up and drive out the "leprosy Of corrup-
ton" which has spread throughout the
Nations Capital.
The Missouri Senator, who was chair
man Of the Senate's campaign funds in
vestigating committee, charged that not
one-tenth Of the corruption had been ex-
posed. He also declared that, unless the
soul Of America was TO be destroyed, the
corrupt use Of money in elections must be
stopped.
Responsibility for the conditions was
laid at the door Of concentration of author
ity in the Federal Government which, he
said, invariably brings in its wake the
twin evils. "incompetency and corruption. 9
Indeed. it has already proceeded so far
that there is scarcely an activity of life,
from the rearing of babies to the massing
OF armies, which is not now in some degree
subject to the surveillance OF government
officers, agents, spies and courts" he con-
tinued. IF the march toward centraliza-
ton be not soon arrested, State govern
ments might as well cease to exist, for all
authority will have been assumed by the
Federal agencies and tribunals"
He assailed the pending child labor
amendment to the Federal Constitution as
an effort to supplant the socialism Of
Lenin and Trotsky for the democracy OF
Washington and Jefferson"
He claimed that another phase of cor
ruption was great money prizes for the
favorites OF the government"
I'VE passed law to tax all the people
for the benefit of certain favored manu-
facturers, he added. in turn these manu-
facturers were told that they must period
ically submit to the process of having the
fat fried out of them in the form of
political contributions To this end they
responded with enthusiastic alacrity. They
were willing to buy any government SO long
as the purchase price represented a small
portion of the profits they were to receive.
I'm every such instance the leprosy of
corruption has spread itself throughout the
Capital of the Nation. No man of good
judgment proposes to make war upon
honestly acquired wealth. but if this Gov
eminent is to be perpetual. it must be a
Government Of men and not a Government
Of money.
Unless the purity of the ballot is pro-
tected' unless we turn back to the old
principles Of government, the LIBERTIES Of
the American people soon will be as "a
tale that is told, glorious picture vanish
ing in the mist Of time"
