White Trash Statesmanship
Cole Blease, senator from South Carolina, is typical of the
poor white trash statesmen of the new fundamentalist south.
The election of such to the seat once filled by Calhoun is
proof enough of the degeneracy of politics in the Palmetto
state.
Altho serving his first term, Blease is offering the pub
lic the opportunity to take his measure in his inane filibus
tering against the World Court. He is of the stripe whose
success is due to appeals to prejudice and ignorance and to
the baser instincts of the mob. He is the most perfect ex
ample of a demagogue in congress which is saying a good
deal.
Senator Blease has lately added to his activities that of
publishing at his home town a paper, "Blease's Weekly." In
it, a signed article conveys the information that:
"Senator Blease Uvea In Anderflon county. Furthermore, he
married a talented lady of historic old Pendleton lection, and after
his elevation to the United States senate moved to the Summers es
tate near Pendleton to make that their home. During
the recess of congress during the next eighteen or twenty years that
he will remain in the senate he will bo conviently closo to the plant
mat prints nis newspaper, ana win prouauiy spend some part 01 aia
spare time each summer at his newspaper office.-' '
In addition to his assumption that he will be in the sen
ate for life, Mr. Blease, who is a rabid Anti-Saloon League
prohibitionist in public life, and votes against modification
of the Volstead act, champions beer for a national tipple in
his paper. Over another signed article he says :
"If I controlled Congress 1 would change the Volstead act so
that wo could have a puro heer. I do not see how anybody
cou'.d bo opposed to good, pure beer, for it certuinly would not be
as harmful as a certain widely sold soft drink, but on the contrary
' is a healthful drink."
I would abolish the Andrews partisan political expense machine
for the onforccmcnt of the Volsluad act and icavo tho enforcement
to the United States officers and tho stato authorities of each state.
I use tho word "Volstead" heru because evorybody knows that we
have no such tiling ns prohibition. The only pcopto who have pro
hibition is the poor devil who has not the nionoy to buy liquor.
Lest one think that the South Carolina statesman shows
a strange glimmering of common-sense in such remarks,
Mr. Blease asserts in an interview at Washington: "I am
going to vote for every motion to uphold the Volstead act.
What an editor says has nothing to do with what a states
man does."
What editor Cole Blease says does not then, in the least
effect what statesman Cole Blease does, and he thus proves
his eligibility for membership in the Volstead bloc of hypo
crites in congress. He also demonstrates his reverse affin
ity with the great editors of Oregon, for while they are per
sonally wet but journalistically dry, he is politically dry,
but journalistically wet.
A Tale of Trusts
While Secretary Hoover is painting the British rubber
trust the deepest of blacks, Attorney General Sargent is
white-washing the American Aluminum trust, controlled by
Secretary Mellon and his brother, which has been twice
charged during the Coolidge administration with violating
the law, once by the Federal Trades commission and once,
Jan. 30, 1925, by Attorney General Stone.
The British rubber trust is an awful menace to America
declares Mr. Hoover, altho the British- consumer pays
the sam price as the American, and hence confess must
investigate it. But 5000 pages of evidence of la at breaking
by the Mellon aluminum monopoly in the Trades commis
sion's files interest neither Mr. Hoover nor the present at
torney general, nor congress, altho the American consumer
pays proportionately more for aluminum than he docs for
rubber.
However, American trusts are enabled by the tariff to
mulct the American consumer while (lumping surplus at
lower prices abroad. The extent of their operations is con
nering the world's commodities, are thus compiled by the
Washington Post:
Today tho United Slates is producing:
55 percont of tho world's Iron oro;

Why should a very large per

To prove this go into the moun

such conditions there Is complete

A contributing factor to colds Is
the mode of living of the average

far from normal. A diet, not well

due to the strenuous lite forced

VapoRub when it is rubbed over
throat and chest at bedtime. And
Viclca acts two ways at once:
(1) It is vaporized by the body heat
and inhaled right to the inflamed
air passages, loosening the phlegm
and easing the difficult breathing;
(2) At the same time it warms and
stimulates the skin like an old-fashioned
poultice, "drawing out" the
pain and soreness and thus helps
the vapors inhaled to relieve the
congestion.
