Refused to Commit Self
"8. In the 1926 election the DEM
ocratic candidate for Senator, OPP
posing Senator Watson, carried most
of the counties where the Klux
were strong and he never mentioned
them publicly, though importuned,
while Senator Watson denied public
ly under oath that he belonged to
them. 1 suggest no inference that
the Democratic candidate did be-
long, but it was plain that he was
not alternating their support.
80. In many counties normally
Republican, the Democratic county
tickets won in 1924 and 1926 with
the aid of the Khan
40. Right now the principal Khan
activities are among the Democratic
voters for the purpose of creating
opposition within the party to the
nomination of Al Smith for Presi-
dent. That is why Senator Heflin
toured Indiana recently and adj
dressed Khan gatherings.
'These particulars could be multi
piled in number. If you need more,
I can furnish them. 1t would seem
queer if these super government
groups would overlook the Demo-
cratic party.
IF they think your party has
chance to win the next election they
most assuredly will attempt to di-
rect Democratic affairs, so they will
have them in control.
Urges Firm Stand
1.-THE very important considera-
ton is whether these influences will
continue to dominate and influence
our politics and government. 1t
should be made certain that they
cannot and the only way to be GER
tain is for both parties to take
firm position against such DONNA
ton and secret influences.
Il have urged that the Republic
ans meet this issue boldly and intel
ligently. Is it asking too much OF
you to name these groups and urge
your party to do likewise? And there
should be no hesitancy to name
Wizard Evans if you do. Those in
prison can do no harm, but those
at large can.

political intrigues leave it out of
consideration.
Three million men are moving
pretty much away from the old idea
of giving loyalty to whichever chief
tain promises the most good jobs
and colorful generalships.
No Longer Adventures
When Adolfo de la Huerta re-
volted, guns were placed in the
hands Of $4,000 union members for
defense of the nation. They became
a part of the army, then went back
to their jobs. Followers of personal
leaders in the old days did not go
back to their jobs. They went to
their new-found graft.
This national movement is a COM
bination of that and a hope and
fireside movement, because there is
determination that selfish ambi-
tons of this or that general
neither shall wreck the national
unity nor destroy the new wage
levels and better working conditions
Three million men knit together in
unions have demonstrated that they
stand as a unit and that they place
Mexico above whatever ambitious
leaders and movements there may be
in Mexico-and there are plenty.

Illinois Towns Celebrate a
End of Long Coal Strike
Comes. 4

BIZ United Press VI
MARION, ILL.,. Oct 3.-The wory
whistle sounded in the Illinois coal
fields this morning ard the fuel
which will keep thousands Of in
dustries at work began to come out
of the earth for the first time since
strike was proclaimed April 1.
Settlement of the wage con-
troversy between unions and mine
operators and the return to normal
conditions in the coal fields through
out the State brought unsurpassed
rejoicing among the people whose
living depends on the steady flow of
loaded coal cars from the mine
region.
All day Sunday, in every town
boasting a shaft, derelict auto
mobiles, small trucks, touring
bungalows, and every manner of
vehicle brought the families who left
the coal towns at the time of the
strike.
. Work for Old Wages
Work was to be resumed at the
| old scale OF wages-a temporary
victory for the miners-and opera
tors and union leaders asserted
there would be steady work for six
months.
I
Churches throughout the district
were filled to capacity Sunday with
miners offering thanks for the SETH
Element. The return to work cam9
at time when resources of tho
miners and dependent tradesmeA
were almost exhausted. VI
Street parades were organized
spontaneously News of the settle
ment prevented bank failure in
Benton, ILL.,, according to reports.
Church bells proclaimed the set
Element at Duquoin. When the an
nouncement of the strike settlement
was made in Carbonate, factory
whistles were opened for several
minutes and every automobile horn
in the town added to the din.
5000 Miners Celebrate
At La Sale, in north central
Illinois, 5000 miners staged an i'm
promptu celebration which lasted
until early Sunday. Similar scenes
we're enacted at Pana, West Frank =
fort, Perry, Jacobson, Franklin and
other towns in the coal region.
The first pay day for the miner
will not be until Oct 30, but bank

Ruddy cheeks-spagkling eyes-most

for 20 years treated scores of women
for liver and bowel ailments. During
these years he gave his patients sub

These tablets are wonder workers on
the liver and bowels, which cause a

mothers, in the opinion of DR..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81 have
just come back from Mexico City,
where I attended the convention of
the Mexican Federation of Labor In
considering the future of Mexico and
the manner in which she will wealth
er the coming elections, there is no
force more important to consider.
The Mexican Federation of Labor
three million strong, is the one truly
national movement in the republic.
This was the eighth convention, but
there were $500 delegates.
Something of what has been hap
pening in Mexico was made evident
by the changed dress and manner
of the delegates. There were fewer
sandals and more shoes, fewer over
alls and more suits of clothes, fewer
o fthe great sombreros and more
American-made hats than in previ-
Gus conventions. Living standards
among the workers of Mexico are
rising.
Personal Leadership Passing
But important even above an i'm
proved and improving economic stat
us for the workers is the fact that
here is one national movement, one
great force that does not follow
blindly personal leadership.
Personal leaderships have been a
good deal of a curse in Mexico, and
in other Spanish-speaking countries.
Untutored masses following selfish
or corrupt leaders have formed many
a revolutionary" or rebellious move
ment.
But this is not now the case with
the Mexvican Federation. 1t is a

ter wages, better homes, better work.
ing conditions, and new funda-
mental relationship between en-
ployer and worker.
Win Better Wages
These unions have fought for and
defended improvements for workers
in Mexico. MachiniSts now get from
$3.50 to Sc a day in Mexico. They
believe they get this wage because
of what they always call "the revo-
luton" and their unions. They will
fight for those two things and for
nothing else. That means that they
don't care about personally owned
armies any more.
This is important for Americans
to know, because American news

attention whatever and in their sur

Institutes. The college girls seem to
to be most interested in growing
their hair"
Miss Geraldine Hatfield, of Shell
byville, in Indianapolis today ad-
mitted it took her "about an hour"
to "do" her long hair. She said,
as did Miss Hazel Mckinney, SO w.
Vermont ST., that she wanted her
hair dress to be different and felt
the hobs all looked a good deal
alike" Miss Margaret Rickenback,
1859 S. Warman Ave, said she had

To grow or not to grow? That is
the question.
Just when everybody thought the
bobbed hair question was settled
forever and that in few years a
woman with long hair would be as
much of a curiosity as a chestnut
horse, somebody started the ball
rolling the other way.
Most of the hair dressers say the
ball won't roll very far; that bobbed
hair in spite of any opposition will
never go out. Opponents, however,
say that history repeats itself and

TRENCH SILOS AND PICKING

County Agent Lynn Sheldon)

County Agent Lynn Sheldon)
Many farmers who used trench
silos last year to take care of their
dried up corn found them very sat-
isfactory until the silage was taken
out, and now they are wondering
whether they should try to fix up
the caved-in walls or dig new silo.
In most cases the walls of the old
trench can be reinforced with woven
wire or with concrete wall and the
silo used again this year. Possibility
of soft corn this year will probably
make the silos more popular than
ever. Trench silos have many ad-
vantages, easily made, easily filled,
and easily emptied. A roof may be
built over the trench but some farm
ers have stacked hay or cane on top
of the silage as soon as it was put
into the trench. They then cut the
stack and the silage with hay knife
and fed it out together.
Experience has shown that corn
should be cut for silage when the
husks on the ears are getting brown.
