THE INVESTIGATING CONGRESS
The Republicans in Congress ap
pear to be more intersted in an ef
fort to hatch up charges against the
Administration for campaign purpo
ses next year than they afe in the
enactment of constructive legisla
tion, or the settlement of the contro
versy that has arrisen over the rat
ification of the Treaty of Peace.
W,hile they are at it they might in
vestigate the “inditement” of Assis
tant Secretary Crowell against the
War Department for providing mun
itions which hastened the end of the
war and saved thousands of lives and
millions of money. Here are the
‘‘charges” he makes and we insist
that they should be lookd into imme
diately:
“That America had more troops in
France than the British at the sign
ing of the armistice..
“ That the American artillery in
France fired more than four times as
many rounds of artillery amunition
as the Union army did in the Civil
War.
“That America was tiie only coun
try that succeeded in building recup
erators for French designed guns, ex
cept France herself.
“That between April 6, 1917, and
November 11, 1918, America manufae
cured as much smokeless powder as
France and England combined.
“That between two and three miles
v/ere added to the range of the Amer
ican army’s six-inch guns..
“That America developed five air
planes the equal of or better than
anything in Europe.
“That America brought down 491
German planes and lost only 271 dur
ing the war.
“That the United States built al
most as many aviation engines of
other types as she did of the Liberty.
“That America reduced the cost of
helium gas from $17.00 per cubic ft.
to ten cents per cubic ft.
“That America shipped 533 loco-
Taotives to France on their wheels,
packed in baled hay, in the holds of
vessels.
“That American troops alone had
hot coffee under fire, due to the in
vention of soluble coffee in the Uni
ted States.
“That packing economies saved
the country $55,000,000 in the ship
ment of clothing alone to France and
by saving ship space, offset the op
erations of U-boats for several
months.
“That salvage during the last nine
mbntlis of the ^nhur saved |100,000,,>
000. ‘
“That the total wa( conatmetion
in the United States amounted to
more than $1,000,000,000 in cost. <
*‘That America produced over 75^
000 ^iles of outpost wire for .signal
ing purposes at the front, a material
never manufactured until America
entered the war.
“That America developed a substi
tute for salvarsan, formerly produc
ed only in Gremany, and which prov
ed to be far better than the German
product. ”
These are htings that are absolute
ly new to the average American and
because.of the fact the claim is so
astounding and concern accomplish
ments that appear well-nigh impos
sible, we respectfully submit that a
special committee should be selected
by congress for the purpose of as
certaining, if possible, how this Dem-
(Ocratic administration manag|ed to
put over so much in the course of
only a few months. The things
Germany had no idea in the world
that America could do have been
done quicker and better than she had
been doing them herself. They are
achievements that, coupled with the
wonderfiil fighting spirit of the army
overseas, tnade it possible to end the
war eighteen months before most
people believed it would be brought
to a close, with an enormous saving
in life and treasure.
Any Democratic administration
which has been able to report achi-
e^fements of so great significance may
expect nothing less than investiga
tion from a bunch of selfish politi
cians. Of course innate jealousy is
at the bottom of it all. But let the
books be opened. DEMOCRACY has
nothing to conceal.

special treaty should b(B speedily rat

••Vfhj I Put Up With RaU for Yea**’
Writes N« Windsor, Farmer^ ^
“Years ago I bought some rat pois
on, which nearly killed our fine watch
dog. It so scared us that we suffered
a long time with rats until my neigh
bor told me about RATSNAP. That’s
the sure rat killer and^ a safe one.’'

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making
you Sick and You Lose a
Day’s Work.
HOUSE NOT TO ADJOURN
When the question of adjourn-
ment was under discussion in the
House recently and objection was
made by one of the members. Re
presentative Claude Kitchin of North
Carolina, .let it be known that he
heartily approved the suggestion for
the reason that the country would be
better off when this Republican con
gress was not in session. A solar-
plexus, that.
Race riots in Washington, Chicago
and other northern cities brings the
people up there face to face with the
very thing for which they have been
criticising the South since the time
when the Ku Klux Klan took law
in its hands during the days of re
construction and compelled respect
for our women. Outbreaks like those
recently reported from the cities
mentioned are regrettable anywhere,
but, in this instance, the South will
not have the finger of “scorn” point
ed at them by northern critics. Social
equality simply will not work. The
southef'n way of dealing with the
negro is mighty hard to beat.
Calomel salivates! It’s mercury. Calo
mel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver.
When calomel comes into contact with
sour bile it crashes into it, causing cramp
ing and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti
pated and all knocked out, just go to your
druggist and get a bottle of Dodson’s Liver
Tone for a few cents, which is a harmless
vegetable substitute for dangerous calo
mel. Take a spoonful and if it
doesn’t start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty calomel
and without making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel today you’ll be sick
and nauseated tomorrow; besides, it may
salivate you, while if you take Dodson’s
Liver Tone you will wake up feeling great,
full of ambition and ready for work or
play. It’s harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.—Advertise
ment.

President Wilson makes a strong
plea for the ratification of the spe
cial treaty with France. It simply
means that the United States would
go to the relief of the French Repub
lic in the event of an unprovoked at
tack upon it by Germany like that
which occored five years ago. Great
Britian agrees to a similar compact
and this would go a long way to
wards preventing another world-war.
