“ FL U B DUB” A N D BUNK
Every intelligent Voter should
have the privilege of reading the
numbers ot the Congressional Re
cord containing the speeches on the
navy appropriation bill. There are
hardly a dozen speeches, out of all
the vast array of noise, that express
a single thought, or are worth the
amount ot paper consumed to prni
them
True, a few Congressmen
have shown a grasp of the subject
of preparedness, and have discussed
it “ for” and “ against” in a highly
creditable manner.
But the great
majority ot the speeches remind one
ol the kind of oratory which old
time lawyers poured out befoie
juries, when by making the latter
cry, they succeeded in saving their
criminal clients from getting the
true justice that was coming to
them. The Fourth of Ju ly orators
who have become more or less of a
joke shine resplendently in com
parison with the men who have
been handling this vital question
The "eagle bird" hasn’ t hardly a
pin leather left in the vicinity of his
tail, so patriotic has been the ” ap-
f - r priatiou oratory,” but il the
statef-nen-orators had known their
subjects m o r e thoroughly they
would not have despoiled the rear
ol the bird so ruthlessly, but instead
would have tried to do something
towards embellishing the head,
where human intelligence and iu-
stinct are supposed to repose. The
same thing is true of the debate on
the rivers and harbors bill
A few
men have studied the question and
described it intelligently. The rest
have merely made loud noises.
But— this is campaign year !
Notw ith standing that necessity
a oateful perusal of recent speeches
in Coogress will convince anybody
that there is something wioug. The
brutal truth is that there is too
much talk and too little brains in
the House of Representalives.
Ol
course it is easy to criticise and
condemn, but nevertheless one of
th >se great newspapers that carries
the slogan: “ All the news that’s
fit to print” wouldn’ t give a stick
ful to a bundled pages of some of
the slush that is appealing in the
Congressional Record.
BI. UNT FA C TS -A BO U T B R A N D E I S
The nomination of Mr. Brandtis
has bt-en confirmed, and every lover
ol honesty, clean men, and a square
deal, i- glad ol it.
Mon tis and
mom ns were cousurneu in aiieuipls
to beat Brandeis, and all kinds of
bogey, imaginable excuses were
cooked up
It’s all over now, and
the big fight has been a tailure.
The reason for the fight has been
established.
First, Brandeis is a
Je w ; secondly, he has been the
“ people’ s lawyer,” and has fought
the big, corrupt interests unremit
tingly. Wall Street was unani
mously gainst him— and that’s a
splendid reason why the Senate
should have decided as il did.
M A K I N G G RAS S RUGS
In the Wisconsin and Minnesota
marshes is found a vegetable growth
known to bo'auis'.s as "ca rix strtc-
ta.” The roc '-non term applied to
this product is “ wire grass.”
Like
many other things that nature has
provided wire grass wa? formerly
supposed to be of little value; but
the mistake of such a viewpoint has
been demonstrated. Rugs i f this
material are carpeting the offices ot
the United Sia'es Government in

are being used in homes, bunga

I F m ’ a d o o guesses r i g h t ?
At the time when the longshore-
men declared their strike the lum
ber market was showing slight
signs of weakening, according to
Mr. Johnson
This, he believes, is
due to an over supply iu the west
ern market.
With nearly every
mill on the coast running at full
capacity; with the Eastern market
dosed by lack of transportation fa
cilities, owing to the Panama canal
being closed, and with practically
110 export trade, the supply was be
ginning to exceed the demand with
a consequent weakening of the
market. The strike, by making it
almost impossible to market the
product of many mills, has stiffened
the market and, should some of the
other markets open in the near fu
ture, it is very probable that alter
the strike is over the market will
remain good, thinks Mr. Johnson.
The optimistic McAdoo, "son-in-
