’UNFAIRNESS' CRY SOUNDS FOOLISH Democratic Attacks on G. O. P. Scandals Are Shown to Be Quite Justified. Continued criticism from Republican circles of the to-called unfairness of Democratic attacks which remind the voters of America of the Teapot Dome, Daugherty and veterans’ bureau scandals, is best answered, according to non-partisan observers, by the Republican organs which published stories of those unfortunnte incidents at the time the searchlight of publicity was being thrown on them. Take, for instance, an article which appeared in that stalwart Republican propaganda organ, the Chicago Tribune, under the signature of Arthur Sears Henning, one of the ablest of all the great staff of correspondents at Washington. The article, printed In the Tribune of March 24, 1924, said, in part: “It now appears that the President has been greatly disturbed by the testimony of the last week, ranging all the way from corroboration of the charges of corruption lodged against the most Intimate associates of the attorney general to the disclosure that Will Haji’s sought and obtained a $75,000 gift by Sinclair to the Republican national committee last year after Sinclair had obtained from the Republican administration the lease of the Teapot Dome navy oil reserve, from which he expected to extract, a profit of $100,000,000. “The testimony in the oil scandal and the Daugherty Investigation revealing the Harding administration as the most corrupt regime in the history of tlie country has startled not only the President but the other leaders of the Republican party. Rivals Corrupt European Courts. "It lias disclosed a seamy side of history for which one seeks in vain a parallel short of the intrigue of the most corrupt European courts of the Eighteenth century, and there is abundant evidence of the public abhorrence of the scandals. “Altogether the burden Is regarded tt> many Republican leaders as more than the party can carry safely through the Presidential election. They view the nomination of Mr. Coolidge a certainty but his election exceedingly doubtful unless drasti? steps are taken to restore confidence in the party. “It has been the understanding among the leaders that Daugherty would resign following the investigation, claiming a vindication, but the prospect is that the inquiry will drag on for weeks and the party chiefs are becoming more and more restive. With the exception of Mr. Adams they are becoming clamorous again for the removal of Daugherty, arguing that the administration will court disaster if the attorney general should be retained another month in view of the state of public sentiment. "The point is now made that, even if the attorney general was not a party to the corruption revealed by the testimony, he must either have tolerated or been Ignorant of the wholesale trafficking of his closest friends in illicit government favors. In either case he proved his unfitness for the office he holds. If he was ignorant of the- misconduct of his intimates, what crime could tills chief law officer of the government be expected to detect and punish?" Article Is Timely Now. of this article is particularly timely for two potent reasons : I’he first Is the recent exchange of correspondence between John W. Davis, Democratic Presidential nominee, and former Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, in which the latter protested against Mr. Davis’ assertions in speeches that there was corruption in the Department of Justice under Mr. Daugherty’s regime. And in this connection it is pertinent to recall that when Vice Presidential Candidate Wheeler on the LaFollette ticket saw Mr. Daugherty’s protest. Senator Wheeler said, tersely: “It is evident that the Daugherty influence still exists in Washington and should be driven out.” The second reason why republication of the Tribune article quoted above is timely is that today the writer apparently has forgotten what he said about the Republican admin Ist ration, as would seem evident from his present writings praising the present administration and urging that it be kept In power. At first fiance this quick and decided right about face on the part of the writer appears inexplicable. As a matter of fact, it is merely another one of the many signs of the big drift that is setting in in favor of John W. Dnvis and Charles W. Bryan. Japanese Take to Wool Japanese statistics' show that the Imports of wool Increased from 6,655,000 pounds In 1913 to 46,985,000 in 1923; those of wool yarns from 3,262,000 to 21,132,000 pounds; and those of wool cloth and wool and cotton mix tures from 8,833,000 to 21,061,000 square yards. Formerly very little wool was used in Japan, the staple materials for clothing and bedding consisting of silk and cotton. During the last few years, however, the use of wool for clothing has grown enor. tnously and at present Japan takes a prominent place among the wooKon suming nations of _tbe_w©rid. _''

Recently a customer of ours said something like this—“My wife wanted me to get a blue suit this time—blit I never stand for Petticoat rules —l’ll take this light gray.” There—we thought to ourselves —is a man who is Boss at his own mansion—until an hour later—the phone rang and a voice said. "Hold up that gray suit—l’ll be down right away with Mrs. Blank." Whether vou are the Boss of your own home or not—it pays to bring your wife along to see that you are suited after you have selected the suit that pleases her.
