GIF. COMMITTEE
IN DEFIANT MOOD
Replies to Criticism Made of
Administration by Hos
<•
tile Democracy.
* r
The republican national committee.
With headquarters In this city, Is
starting: In with the new year In
militant and aggressive spirit and is
burling’ back the Javelins of criticism
* and allegation cast by the hostile de
mocracy In Congress at the repub
lican party and the administration.
It denies that the republican party
has ceased to be the patron of pros
perity and Insists that every day in
every way business Is getting better
and better.
In a statement sent out by .the com
* mittee It Is claimed that '‘the year
1923 Is ushered in under very opti
mistic circumstances. In this con
nection It la Impossible to refrain
from calling attention to the direful
and doleful statements made by the
democratic opponents of the adminis
tration during the last campaign, to
the effect that the republican party
had failed to bring about good times;
that It was no longer the party of
prosperity, that this administration
and this Congress had done nothing
to assist labor. Industry, business,
finance and agriculture toward a re
turn to normal, prosperous times.
Called “Small, Partisan Charges.”
“The universal reports of all lines
of business and Industry, as set forth
In the columns of the press of the
country and In the trade Journals at
the close of the year, completely re
fute the small partisan charges made
against the administration during the
recent campaign. No one can soberly
. • contemplate the condition of all kinds
of business today, in comparison with
what It was when the republican ad
ministration came Into power, and not
know. In his own mind, that there has
been a tremendous change for the
better."
The statement goes on to cite facts
and figures to support this contention,
which is likely to Inspire In Cordell
Hull, chairman of the democratic na
tional committee lively incredulity
and Incite him to take pen In hand
■and come back with a vigorous re
, -buttal.
Savings Increased.
“Deposits in national banks and
savings banks Increased during the
year and postal savings increased.
Notwithstanding gr£at strikes in’
three basic Industries—mining, trans
portation and textiles—unemployment
practically disappeared during 1922.
It was not an exaggeration to assert
that no man_ honestly in search of
work at a living wage but can obtain
the same today. According to the
reports of the census bureau, the av
erage wage for common labor Is 63
centg~ higher today than it was In
1916."
The statement goes on to give de
tails In various lines of trade and
* manufacture, all optimistic. Then
comes the sad note; all Is not well
with agriculture. “Although the
farmer raised a /tremendous crop In
1922,” says the statement, “and re
ceived on an average 17 per cent
more for his products than he did In
* 1081, agriculture as a whole did not
keep pace with the improvement In
other lines of business. •
"This Is because the purchasing
power of the money he received was
not as great as the purchasing power
of the income of other industries. To
offset this, however, the farmer Is
able to maintain practically unlimited
credits to carry him over, and there *
is not the least doubt that there wifi
be additional legislation,.both In the
halls of Congress and in'various leg
islatures, looking to the easement of
■conditions in agricultural sections.”

BEJEWELED OSAGES CAPITAL
WITH PLEA AGAINST “POVERTY”
' r
Lo, the poor Indian! In particular, j
10, the poor Osage! . I
He can no longer live In the style :
In which he has been accustomed on j
the measly $4,000 which is doled out *
yearly to every and child |
of his tribe. So quite a few of him,
accompanied by squaws and nu
merous progeny, have come to Wash
ington to tell Congress all about the
disgraceful, excruciating poverty.
Old H. C. L. has dealt the Osage
Indians, one© ranked as the richest
class of people In America, not ex
cluding Hollywood’s galaxy of movie
stars, a solar plexus blow. ' Custom
made limousines, preferably with lav
ender stripes, come higher now, you
know, than they did several years
ago. The same way with diamonds
and silk shirts. Congressional rep
resentatives who “tin-lizzled” their
.way to where the committee met be
fore which the Indians testified, are
said to have wept large and very
briny tears over their poverty
stricken plight.
They fairly danced In pigeon-toed
fashion as they returned to their hotel
after having testified before the com
mittee.

THE EVENING STAB, WASHINGTON, D. C.. FRIDAY. JANUARY 12, 1923.
| named Little Puma. He
flourished a huge, oily looking black
i cigar with a hand flashing headlight
; diamonds. He wagged his head In ex
i überance over the apparent success of
! the tribe members at the committee
meetings and the feathers upon his head,'
the rings In his ears and his braided
pigtails waved and rattled In bewilder
ing fashion. •
It was rather disconcerting to hear
the Indians laugh with such boisterous
ness, as the writer had thereupon to
dislodge a tenacious notion that Indians
never laughed or even smiled, a notion
garnered from those dignified and sol
emn wooden Indians who used to guard
the doorways of cigar stores. But these
Osages threw back their huge heads and
; let out guffaw after guffaw in high glee.
They scented success in the air
an* were sure that Congress will
raise the ante. If they strove lo im
press themselves on casual observers
as objects of charity, however, they
failed superbly. The silver or plati
num wrist bands, which they wore,
the wonderfully wrought ornaments
that adorned their necks, the beads,
the opals, diamonds and rubles that
appeared promiscuously upon their
persons, the gorgeously colored
blankets wrapped about them and the
silk shirts—oh, especially the silk
shirts—could hardly be considered In
the-same class with the rags and tat
ters of the conventional beggar.
