Lodge 9 s Leadership Indicated
From Chicago Post. Eepubllcan)
The country la on the verge of a
coal strike; it is passing through the
costly last chapter of a steel strike;
and a congress with a majority repre
senting the historically constructive
republican party, has not turned a
hand to legislate upon the threatening
indautrial conditions which these
strikes represent. -
More than that, the republican sen
ate has thrown every element of pas
sion, prejudice and delay against the
ratification of the peace treaty, an
event which every business observer
has set down as the most promising
starting point of real economic" read
justment. And finally, there is no Indication
that the republican senate has any in
tention of facing the industrial reali
ties and clearing the field of the
treaty by the simple compromise that
has been the result evident from the
first
Look back over the almost endless
varieties of attack that have been
threatened, framed and then dissipat
ed by every test of actual voting.
Lodge and his followers, including, we
regret to say, Sherman and McCor
mlck, both senators from Illinois
started by threatening to kill the
whole treaty; then they were going to
cut the covenant of the league of na
tions from the treaty and kill the
t covenant; then they were going to
amend it. Now, finally, they have de
vised a string of doomed "reserva
tions," which remove the United
'States from any participation In the
league and require Great Britain,
France and Japan to 0. k. that re
moval. Each one of these waves of assault
has been backed byappeals to preju
dice as devilish In their cunning as
they are unscrupulous in their disre
gard of national unity and America's
responsibility to her allies and to the I
world. Sherman introduced the relig-l
lous hatred; McCormick fostered the
Irish prejudice; Reed, a democrat,
brought in the race prejudice; Borah
lugged In the Wall Street prejudice;
Johnson played up the Japanese men
ace; Knox stirred the German-Ameri
can hyphenism.
And yet, these men have lost every
single vote on the floor of the senate.
They have absolutely no construct
ive result of any kind to show to off
set the sins they have committed
against American solidarity and Am
erican honor.
The defeat of the Johnson "6 to 1"
amendment, representing the strong
est combined appeal of all passion and
prejudice, clearly set the high water
mark of the assault waves. It was
beaten despite the most outrageous
campaign of falsification that our
foreign affairs have ever known.
How about the responsibility for
all this?
How about the rights of republi
cans all over the country who elected
a republican congress to pave the way
for the election of a republican pres
ident in 1920?
Taft, Hughes, Root, the three na
tional leaders, have spoken the cause
of the republican voters. The little
knot of congressionals' have disre
garded these pleas. Their own ranks
divided, badly led, ineffective, futile,
they have blundered on in a course
that cool political observers know to
be costly beyond words to their par
ty's strength.
'. The truth is that we have today
one more instance of the political in
competence of "congressionals." Se-
cure In their long tenure office, arro
igant in their senatorial dignity, sena
tors have ever failed to keep touch
with the sentiment of country or par
(ty.. No man has ever gone from tne
senate to the white house, and no
man, we are bold to predict, will
make that step in 1920. Jonnson aiej
'with his amendment; Knox stepped
off with his plea to the Germans;
Folndexter is stillborn with his Lodge
platform.
In behalf of Republicanism we in
dict the Lodge leadership. We indict
It for incompetence; we indict It for
its disrepard of national honor; wo
indict it for its world cowardice; we
indict it for its appeals to hyphenism;
we indict It for its injury to the re
publican party.
Japanese Plan Bfl
For Drastic Prohibition
Topkij (By Mall.) Secretary Tagb
of the home office is engaered in draft
ing a drastic prohibition bill that will
be laid before the forthcoming session
of the diet. The bill would prohibit
drinking of liquor by men and women
. under 25 years of age.
' This Is the first, time the govern
ment has looked with favor on a tem
perance measure, although similar
measures have been introduced from
year fo year by-Nemoto, a member of
the diet, and an ardent christian.
The need of conserving rice has
caused the peers to favor limiting th5
drinking of saki. The bill probably
wil make an exception in case of the
time-honored custom of drinking saki
at wedding ceremonies.
FOUR HEN OFFER TO
SELL YOUTH GLAND
San Quentln Prison, Cal., Nov. 28.
Declaring they need money more than
they do their interstitial glands, four
men have written to the prison sur
geons here offering to sell their glands
to the business manwho recently mado
an offer of $10,000. .
Two men in Oregon, one in Nevada
and one Callfomian have made the
offer, said Dr. G. David Kelker today.
Dr. L. L. Stanley and Dr. Kelker have
replied that they cannot be mediums
for Buch exchanges.
Dr. Kelker said they both believed a
great deal of money could be made by
commercializing such operations, but
that they feared it would result in loss
of professional standing, which, he
said, is worth more than money.
The men who offered to sell their
glands described themselves as young,
well nourished and largo of stature.
Matthew Thorbourn, one of the
most prominent residents of the Tygh
Ridge section of Wasco county, was
found dead in bed Tuesday morning.

Mother! Teach the Children
Their Daily Health Duty
You can't be too insistent!
FEW cHSdren find pleasure in
the things -tooA vital to their
physical comfort and heakh, so it
rests with the watchful mother to
see that they are done. The child
will be grateful in after years.
Chief among the functions
necessary to the upbuilding of the
little body, so that it will not be a
dyspeptic, constipated body when
it matures, is elimination regularly
every morning. If the mother will .
be insistent and allow nothing to
interfere with it, ft will soon become
a habit, a daily routine that will
not be forgotten throughout life. -There
are times, however,- when
aatuie will not operate unaided. Then give
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which it a
combination of simple laxative herbs with
pepsin, and the headache?, the biliousness,
the torpor will quickly disappear, h acts
gentry and without griping, and as it
contains no narcotics and is pleasant to the
taste, it may be given to infants. Thousands
of families have been regulated to healthy
maturity with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
A bottle can be bought at any drug
store for 50c and $1. Those who already
know its virtues buy the dollar size and
consider it economical. In a large family
there is always someone who would feel
better for a dose of a good medicine like
Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
i
In spite of the fact
tha-tDr. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin is the
largest selling liquid
la.rative in the rcorif,
there beiiiji over 6
million bottles sold
each year, many who
need its benefits have
not yet used it. If
you have not, send
yonr name and ad
dress for a free trial
bottle to Dr. II'. D.

Seeds Of Prohibition
Being Sown la Germany
Berlin .(By mail) The first seeds
for national prohibition in Germany
are now being sown. America's ex
ample is held up by many thinking
Germans as one Germany ought to
follow with respect to intoxicating li
quor. And while Germany so far hasn't
any campaign against alcohol such as
England is now experiencing, there
are distinct signs that the thoughtful
men of the nation are beginning to
realize that "schnapps" could disap
pear from Germany . advantageously
from a standpoint of food conserva
tion, health and finances.
True, this thought is slow in perco
lating.. But. it is Significant that re
cently a prohibition convention was
held here. And Just now In the maga
zine. "Die Glocke," a serious paper
dealing with social subjects, appears
an article strongly urging the" nation
to follow America's example.
"The procedure of the rich and pow
erf ul United States of America In in
stituting prohibition," wrote Dr. Ernst
Neumann, "which one here now no
longer passes over with a Bmlle or a
stupid Joke, should give us food for
thought"
Mn Hopkins Suffers
Million Dollar Fire Loss
Baltimore, Md., Nov. 28. The mos'
disastrous fire in Baltimore since that
of 1904 broke crut a few minutes be
fore midnight in McCoy's hall, one of
the John Hopkins university buildings.
It spread so quickly that at an early
hour today every building in tho
square bounded by Howard, Ross,
Monument . and Eutaw streets had
either been wrecked or damaged.
High winds swept embers a doxon
blocks. The roofs and awnings of Lex
ington Market were afire in a number
of places and on the roofs of big de
partment stores forces of employes
stamped out incipient blazes.1 )
A rough estimate placed the damag9
as high as 11,000,000. Among the more
important buildings burned were Mc
Coy building. Topographical Survey
building, old biological laboratory.
Levering hall and chemical laboratory.
A post of the American Legion has
been organized at Weston by Harold
Warner and Dr. Fred A. Lleuallcn.
