ADVERTISE AND KEEP ALIVE
Do you load it at the muzzle
When you want a shot or two?
Do you wind it with a watch key
Like your father used to do?
How'd you like to hop a horse car
Like you did long years ago?
Don't an auto beat an ox cart?
Well, I rather reckon so.
Do you argue that an hour glass
Beats a Waltham all to smash?
Do you use the same old system
Keepin' books and countin' cash?
Do you trim a goose quill neatly
When you want the ink to flow?
Don't you think there's been improvement
In the last decade or so?
Tell us are you advertising
In the same old foolish way
That your granddad did before you
And persist "It doesn't pay?"
Think the whole world knows your address?
"Cause it hasn't changed in years?"
Wouldn't the pathos of such logic
Drive a billygoat to tears?
Just a card is all you care for?
Hidden, lonesome and unread.
Like the sign upon the tombstone
Telling folks that you are dead.
Wake up, and take a tonic,
Bunch your hits and make a drive !
Run a page and change your copy,
Advertise and keep alive!
Lifted.
This is the challenge that no previous generation ever dared to
give ear to. So many things have happened so fast in the last four
years that I do not think many of us realize what it is that has hap
pened. Think how impossible it would have been to get a body of
responsible statesmen seriously to entertain the idea of the organi
zation of a League of Nations four years ago! And think of the;
change that has taken place! I was told before I came to h ranee
that there would be confusion of counsels about this thing, and I
found unity of counsel. I was told that there would be opposition,
and I found union of action. I found the statesmen with whom I
was about to deal united in the idea that we must have a League of
Nations; that we could-not merely make a peace settlement and then
leave it to make itself effectual, but that we must conceive some
common organization by which we should give our common faith
that this peace would be maintained and the conclusions at which
we had arrived should be made as secure as the united counsels of
all the great nations that fought against Germany could make them.
We have listened to the challenge, and that is the proof that there
shall never be a war like this again.
Ladies and gentlemen, we all believe, I hope, that the spirits of
these men are not buried with their bones. Their spirits live. I
hope I believe that their spirits are present with us at this hour.

realize the significance of their presence. Think, soldiers, of those)
comrades of yours who are gone. If they were here, what would!
they say? They would remember what you are talking about today.
They would remember America, which they left with their high hope
and purpose. They would remember the terrible field of battle.
They would remember what they constantly recalled in times of
danger, what they had come for, and how worth while it was to give
their lives for it. And they would say, "Forget all the little cir
cumstances of the day. Be ashamed of the jealousies that divide
you. We command you in the name of those who, like ourselves,
have died to bring the counsels of men together, and we remind you
what America said she wras born for. She was born, she said, to
show mankind the way to liberty. She was born to make this great

DEMOCRATS WILL FIGHT LONG RECESS
ing a recess instead of an adjournment sine die, the Republicans
would make it impossible for the president to call congress back
in extraordinary session. Should congress adjourn with a part of
the administration's legislative program not acted upon, some Re
publicans fear the president would issue a proclamation calling con
gress back, which would be embarrassing politically to the major
ity party.
Several progressive Republicans in the senate are likely to join
with the Democrats in opposing an early recess. These Republi
cans are particularly interested in the bill for the regulation of the
meat packing industry, the Johnson-Nolan minimum wage bill and i
the bill designed to check profiteering in shoes.
These measures have been held up in committee, or displaced
on the calendar, and Republican progressives are beginning to
wrangle with the G. O. P. leadership for sidetracking such meas
ures. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, has been particularly severe in his
criticism of non-action on the packer bill.
Democrats of both houses believe that congress should do some
thing to meet the high cost of living problem before it quits work
for the summer. It is recalled that the president in his message last
fall suggested several remedies that might be invoked to check
profiteering and bring down the cost of living. The president's
recommendations, however, have so far not been put into law by
the Republican congress, nor has the president's recommendation
for a readjustment of the taxation laws been acted upon. Inequal
ities in the taxation laws, now that the war is over, is declared to be
one of the reasons for the high living cost and there is sentiment for
a revision of the excess profits tax, but it has been impossible to
obtain action from the party in control of congress.
That there will be a hard fight when the Republicans attempt
to quit Washington early in June to remain away three or four
months seems certain. Adjournment will not only be opposed by
Democrats, but probably by some of the progressive Republicans.
