WftKLY NEWS FETTER FROM WASHINGTON (By Special Correspondent) Washington, D. C., Aug. 28. Where two or three are gathered to gether' in Washington .the, conversa tion ' . ns sooner or later to the monu meii failure of the ' Republican ad mil- oration. No one disputes the fa-: of failure, but there are differ ei. ;s of opinion as to why. Probably the best reason I have heard is that the party leaders are not trying to give the people what they desire and need, but rather trying to meet their obligations to the men who put up Harding's enormous campaign fund ahd hoping to be able to -mollify the dissatisfied public on some issuea w Whic hthey will encourage to come to the front in the hope that more dan aging ones can be thus kept in the !rear, Strangely enough, it apepars to some, they are willing, as evidenced by their action ,in having Secretary Hlughes revive the Newberry scandal, to have that as an issue. for m"ast men regard the seating of a man in the the Senate after conviction of bribery as a very serious stain on the party guilty of such action. There can be but one Conclusion as to. this ,as ably pointed out by Chairman Hull of the Democratic National Committee and by Senator: Poniereno, and that is that the Republican leaders are choos ing the least.of several evils. They & doubtless"believe that many men will be of many minds about a question of moral turpitude, and that most strong party men will not be driven from their party by even a highly question able performance done for aprty su premacy, hence they would rather risk- the Newberry issue than to figl, it out on the great increases in the cost of living surely to come from the enactment of the high tariff bill, for they well. know that the most sensi tive. nerve in the average man's poli tical make-up is the one that roaches his pocket-book. This is the issue 'theyrfear the most. After that comes a year, and a half of Harding hard times, accentuated by four big strikes, which thme administration has been ut Sterly unable to handle. In truth, their settlement seonied to be actually de layed dnd hdmpered by the very pre sence of the President in the eqna tion; his iforts seemed to be resented by both- sides, with nett er side will ing thatb he should ge se mediator. .The only - time the \varring sides showed'evidences of 'getting tdgether was after the President got out, and the soft coal strike was then settled instanter. Sir Robert Peel; in the days of 'the high 'traiff laws in England, before Gobdea and Bright converted him, said "T rough an'- indirect (tariff) -tax, you can tax' the coat-o fsa man's back and ho. will never know what is hurting hin1." Probably true at one. time, but now men read and think and every time a man sweetens his coffee' he can reflect on the knowledge that the price of the sugar ho Is using has been increased a third by the tariff TIIIES6?TUBES As good onyour automobile as hy were onyourbicl PLO WDEN MOTOR CQ. ?f . f2 t " t : t LbAll 4~3 Many a couple agrees before piarr-age to avo;d' the do:ncstic re spo1siL.i!ikc ard I've a life of free.

'And what is true of sugar is true of a hundred articles which enter into his everyday life. The Washington tailors and clothers are advertising the fact that it behooves the man with a few spate dollars to lay in a suit or two before the evil days come, the days when woolen cloth will cost the dealer a third more because of the tariff bounty allowed to the American Woolen Company with its' sixty mills and its surplus of thirty-odd millions, which paid extra dividends of 16 per cent recently, and which is no infant ndustry n need. f nurang boatle. I have it from one of the wise ones that Secretary Hughes has a compact with Harding through which Hughes is to be the nominee in 1924, and that Hughes is staying up nights to culti vate Uncle Hiram Johnson in order that California may not escape next time. It will be remembered that Hughes started his campaign in 1916 with a trip, acros sthe continent. He had been Governor of New York and well knew what courtesies were due from him to a Governor of a soveri gn State. He went to California aid Johnson was then Governor of the State; he was in the same hotel wits} Johnson but refused to call on him. Result, Hughes failed to carry the State, though Johnson, running for the Senate on the same ticket, won with an enormous majority. John son's friends slaughtered Hughes. The fact is that Hughes lost the Pre sidency and the people escaped his reactionary administration by reason of the nervous break-down which he suffered the previous wintgr while on the Supr'eme Bench; he had not re covered, from it when he started into the campaign and before he wap him sejf again.he had kicked the fat into the fire. by indiscretions on his cross country campaign. The facts about that break-down have never been made public, but sometime it will bo recognized as having profoundly alter edl the history of the country. As re gards Mr. Hughes personally it was most unfortunate, but the country at large might readily take a different view. Politics still makes strange bed fellows. Senator Lodga must Indeed be hard-pressed to endorse Alvan Tufts Fuller for lieutenant-Governor of Massachusets--probably needs Fuller's help, mal las it is. It has not been so Ion~ since Fuller referred to Lodge as a "blood-drinker" and "a senile whelp-." These' expressions are indicative of-'the depths to which the morale of the partty has sunk. r. Whilden Wfltcs or .Solitb's Advacs (Continued from page two) sued by the Federal Experimerit Sta tions or by the. manufqeturers of calcium arsenate. It Is not necessary to repeat, mit this time, the warnings which have so often been broadcasted through bulletins, that the profatable use of' calcium arsenate is based upon such factors as adequate (lusting machini c~ry, thorough and efficeient appli ca tion,' yields on the basis of at least a half-bale per acre without weevil damage, and a treatment cost includ ing material, labor andi depreciation on machinery not in exeess of 100 poundls of seed cotton.

We would emphasize, however, the necesisty of using sueh fertilizers as will profitably Increase the yields, so as to Insure the half-bale' per acre, or more, which justifies expense of dust ing. But, you are facing a peculiar sit-' uation as regards the aupl of cal clunt ar'senate. During theIst two years the manufacturers of this poi son had little or no indication of the amount 'of this material which would be used. It seems that they actually meqndfetutecd' more thAn was con sumed, so there wa some arry-ove. ails to support his fanily,'and fitial y deserts his - wife and children >ught to be artested, tried and con victed and whipped in the public Square for six months. No couple. should be allowed to marry tunless each party to the son :ract could produce a certificate ihowing a sound, cleatn body and a ate mind for three preceding gen :rations, and a spotless moral char. tcter. No couple should he allowed to narry unless they could also show hat they understand and are will ng to assume and d scharge the ob. igations that matrimony and a veil-ordered home imposes upon a ouple. Parents are to blame for much of he present-day mtatriimoni:: loose less. They are too anxious to narry their daughters. Awake, parents, and help us solve his all-important problem and thus ave society from its present rotten endency. In the meantime, the prices of cal cium arsenate, as with other products, were materially reduced, until today the material is quoted at prices not only below the cost at which it was manufgctured in previous years, but at pricea which the manufacturers insist 'are - less than the producing cost today. So far as we can find out, there are no manufacturers making calcium arsenate now. That which is avail able for dusting (luring 1922 will be drawn from .the surplus carry-over of previous years. 'That this old product is just as efficient as fresh material, is vouched for by the United States Department of Agriculture in the following statement: "Calcium arsenate two years old is just as effective in poison ing boll weevil as at the time it was manufactured. The fact that almost all calcium arsenate now available for cotton dusting was mnufactured one or two years ago is causing many farmers to doubt its present value, and some to claim that the newly manu factured material is superior to the old because of deterioration. This is not true, however, for the calcium arsnate made two years ago is as good today as it was at the time of manufacture." Although we have no accurate figures on the amount of carry-over, we anticipate that when the season actually opens up there will be a de mand far in excess of the available supply. In such a case, not only will some farmers be unable to obtain the material, but one must expect the price to soar as the supply becomes short. Good judgment would indicate the advisability of placing orders for such calcium arsenate as will be needed for the 1922 crop-right now, while the prices are low and the sup ply available to fill the orders. This is surely a case which demands deep consideration by any farmer who plants a single acre of cotton. Lot the impartial, authentic teachings and instructions issued by the inves tigators of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture be your guide, and do not let "Your Conscience be your Guide." Be not a mule. Do Bankers Want to Help? That the real prosperity of the entire country is dependent upon the pros perity of Agriculture, is a fact not susceptible of argument. It is self evidlent that if the farmers in such communities receives such refenues, then, in add~ition to any patriotic or public-spirited motives ,the banker has a personal reason for supportng any economically sound movement for improvement of agricultural con ditions. We have known men wvho, besides having banking anud producer inter ests, were also engaged in operating as middlemen.
