I PROFITEERING IS
SCORED IN U. S.
SENATE SPEECH
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Prof
iteers were denounced in the senate
today by Senator Capper, Republican.
Kansas, who presented statistics
which he said showed that the earn
ings of many American corporations
represented profiteering "open, scan
dalous and shameless.”
Senator Capper attacked the de
partment of justice’s cheaper meat
campaign and said increased prices
for sugar were “the most brazen
challenge we have had in this satur
nalia of greed.”
Senator Lenroot, Republican, Wis
consin, agreeing with the Kansas
senator’s declaration that profiteer
ing had become a national menace,
said that Attorney General Palmer
was "setting a few mouse traps
around the country when he ought
to be setting bear traps” to catch
the big or millionaire profiteers. The
administration was held responsible
by Senator Lenroot for the increas
ing sugar prices.
Disagreement with the contentions
of Senators Capper and Lenroot was
expressed by Senator Thomas, Dem
ocrat, Colorado, who said the sena
tors were "complaining about condi
tions instead of causes like a child
who stumbles over a chair and then
turns around and kicks
Senator Capper said ample laws
existed to check profiteering and that
"if those charged with enforcement
of these laws will see that profit
hogs are sent to jail, prices will soon
tumble.’ He added, that if law en
forcement officers of the government
could not enforce statutes they
should resign and let men who could
lake their places.
Excessive margins of profit are
proof of profiteering, Senator Cap
per said, in presenting his list of
corporations whose profits were
placed at from 20 to 200 .per cent.
The list of such corporations in
cluded textile manufacturing con
corns, steel companies, shoe and
leather manufacturers and makers
of nearly all of the staple commodi
ties. . Farmers w<re acquitted ot
blame by the sehator.
Johnson-Wood Fight
For G. 0. P. Backing
Closes in New Jersey
NEW YORK, April 24.—The hard
est-fought and most bitter pre-con
vention battle in the presidential
campaign to date was wound up in
New Jersey tonight.
The contest between Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood and Senator Hi
ram Johnson for the Republican in
dorsement in the state’s primary
Tuesday began several weeks ago
and has daily gathered momentum,
resulting in the most intensive po
litical maneuvering that has yet de
veloped.
Senator Johnson’s friends regard
New Jersey as the really "pivotal
state” for him. They poiqt out that
if he wins he will have gained an
all important foothold in the east,
breaking -General Wood’s hitherto
seemingly impregnable front in this
section, and go into the Chicago con
vention as the "strongest” candidate
because of population victories stra
tegically distributed from a geo
graphical standpoint. If he loses —
they admit he will receive a set
back that will require many future
victories to offset. ,

Congress to Try to Put
Government Business
On Economical Basis
(The Atlanta Journal Nows Bureau)
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILDEB
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Con
gress, or at least certain members of
it. has at last begun a drive against
waste in the executive departments,
superfluous clerks, idling door
keepers and messengers, army vet
erans of the battle of the Potomac
and several regiments of “war work
ers” who know no armistice.
Cutting through the entanglements
of red tape, the outer defense of the
bureaucrat and his battalion of pen
cil-pushers and typewriters, congress
will seek some way to put the United
States government, with its war
debts of more than twenty billions, on
a businesslike basis. Jut now it is
conceded the United States conducts
the biggest business in the world on
the most unbusyiesslike principles.
Senator Reed Smoot, in the upper
chamber, and Representatives Madden,
of Illinois, and Blanton, of Texas, in
the house, have been conspicuous in
their attacks on governmental extrav
agance and clerks who stick tena
ciously to the federal payroll.
According to the two house mem
bers, they, seldom enter the govern
ment departments without stumbling
over idle messengers and doorkeepers
and once inside the offices hundreds
of clerks are found who try to ap
pear busy, with one eye lifted toward
the clock which records the time to
quit.
‘‘"Wicketl Duplication”
In offering a resolution in the sen
ate for appointment of a joint in
vestigating committee to inquire into
duplication of work in the depart
ments, and to devise means for cut
ting the payrolls and bringing about
economies, genator Smoot observed;
“I do not intend now to consume
time by calling attention to the dupli
cation of work which is found in the
different departments of the govern
ment. I have a great deal of matter
prepared—it is not complete, how
ever—and at some future time I wish
to direct the senate’s attention to 'he
facts, showing that there must be
some kind of readjustment to the ac
tivities of the departments of oar
government, if we ever intend to do
away with the wicked duplication of
work now going on in these depart
ments.” ,
Representative Blanton recently
obtained from Herbert D. Brown,
chief of the United State# bureau ot
efficiency, a statement that there are
“literally thousands” of superfluous
clerks in the executive departments.
“Both Congressman Madden and
myself,” wrote Representative Blan
ton, “estimate that there are now in
Washington forty thousand idle, un
neccessary clerks still on the payroll,
whose services could be dispensed
with without crippling the service.
Is this true or not?”
Replying, Mr. Brown said; .
“I do not know whether your fig
ures are correct or not, because I
have not had opportunity to find out.
I know that there are a great many
unnecessary clerks in Washington
(literallv thousands), but whether t.ie
number‘is 20,000, 40,000 or some oth
er figure, I cannot say.
Efficiency Bureau Short
“I know that there are very many
superfluous clerks dn Washington, be
cause investigations made by the bu
reau of efficiency in certain offices
have disclosed that fact. Whether
this condition is general throughout
the departments I cannot say without
making a comprehensive survey. With
the limited force of investigators at

tlte you ever saw, and ’can eat any
thing I want. Yesterday for dinner
I ate blackeyed peas. Before I took
Puratone, such a meal W’ould have
nearly killed me.
“If I had time, I would like to go
from house to house and tell every
body what this Puratone will do.” .

ery town sells Puratone or Pome

my disposal, I am unable to make
such a survey at the present time.”
Mr. Brown's letter apparerntly
indicates a typical governmental per
formance. The bureau of efficiency
is presumed to study the methods of
the government and bring about ad
ministrative reforms and increased
efficiency. Yet Mr. Brown says it
has not sufficient investigators to
do the work. There may be 20,000 or
40,000 surplus clerks here, Mr.
Brown indicates, but he doesn’t ap
pear to have any of them and the
eficiency board of the government
department hasn’t'sufficient force to
ascertain what is going on.
If there are 40,000 surplus em
ployes here, it may occur to the av
erage business man that it would be
a good plan to transfer at least a
dozen or so to the efficiency bureau
so it may proceed with its weeding
out of obsolete administrative meth
ods and some thousands of clerks.
But, apparently, this hasn’t occurred
to congress or anybody else.
Oratory and Reality
Albeit, the average bureau chief
will inform you there are two sides
to economy schemes in so far as they
effect the “firing" of government
clerks. The member of congress
who inveighs against extravagance
while making a home-consumption
speech on the floor is a different indi
vidual when he appears next morning
at a government departmet hunting
a job for a constituent.
“Fire out these needless, idle
clerks; lift some of the burden from
the bowed shoulders of the taxpayers
of this country,” shouts the con
gressman, amid , the plaudits of his
colleagues. The speech is duly
franked out and thrills the folks
back home who are proud to have
at the national capital such a watch
dog of the treasury.
But the next day the orator hears
that a heartless chief clerk has dis
charged Miss Mary Smith, a “war
worker” from the little town of
Hickory Knoll. Miss Smith thinks
it’s an outrage and goes forthwith
to her congressrfian.
The congressman agrees it is an
outrage and says he is going to take
it up right away. And he does. Why
didn’t the chief clerk fire somebody
else; why pick on my constituent:
why not get rid of some of these
trifling janitors and doorkeepers that
I see in the halls; why wasn’t Miss
Smith transferred to another depart
ment? Are some of the indignant
questions the "economical” member
of congress is likely to fire at the
hapless chief clerk. And in many
cases the upshot is that Miss Smith
goes back on the rolls, or is trans
ferred to some other overcrowded bu
reau. _ . „
Two Ways to Cut Down
There are two ways In which con
gress may go about affecting econ
omies in the government depart
ments. Everybody concedes that
economy is most desirable, in fact,
imperative. The present agitation,
which might just as well have come
ten years agOj is largely attributable
to high taxes, which for once have
arrested the attention of the tax
payer and caused him to ask where
the money is going.
The more spectacular, but less sci
entific way, the congress may pro
ceed contemplates the slashing of es
timates and the “paring to the bone
of the many requests of the execu
tive departments. SuCh methods
might bring temporary results, but
there is no assurance the reforms
would be of permanent character and
gradually extravagances would be
likely to creep back Into the supply
bills This method likewise presents
the danger that the cuts may be
made in the wrong direction; that a
meritorius service may be crippled
while a service of doubtful value
slips by because of politics or rfavor-
Conservative members of congress
believe that the better plan would
be a working from the ground up
the establishment of a budget sys
tem, a reorganization of the execu
tive departments, a weeding out ot
superfluous and everlapping bureaus
and the systematic weeding out or
every useless employe. <
• Some Incongruities.
Incongruities in the functions of
the various executive departments
and agencies are readily discovered,
one cannot help stumbling over them.
There is little co-ordination of work
among the departments. Here are a
fel illustrations of how different*
agencies go about the same wort,
ambling along over the same ground
with loss of motion and efficiency:
The state department and the de
partment of commerce both are try
ing to promote -foreign trade. The
interweaving of diplomacy and com
merce by the state departpient never
appealed to former Secretary Red
field, of the department of commerce,
and now Secretary Alexander has
come to the same conclusion.
The treasury department houses
the office of the supervising archi
tect, yet most of the government
buildings constructed are for the use
of the postoffice department.
Likewise, the treasury department
has jurisdiction over the coast guard
and its uniformed officers, including
officers of aviation, engineering and
construction and repair.
Again, the treasury department has
the bureau of war risk insurance,
handling allotments and allowances
for soldiers of the great war, while
the interior department dispenses
pensions resulting from the civil
and Spanish-American wars.
In addition to collecting billions in
taxes, the bureau of internal revenue
enforces the national prohibition lav*,
but the department of justice and
its district attorneys must obtain the
convictions. •>
Bureaus of engineering, whose
work is not directly related to the
functions of the several departments,
are found in the war department
the treasury department, the interior
department and the department of
agriculture.
During the war the war depart
ment had both a. construction divi
sion nad an engineer corps, and now
congress is talking about making
the construction division permanent.
There are medical branches in both
the war and navy departments, but
the public health service, with its
captains, majors, colonels and gen
erals, is under the treasury depart
ment.
The territory of the interior depart
ment covers everything from the
government hospital for the insane
and the Howard university, in Wash
ington, to the bureau of education or
the care of elk herds in Wyoming.
Three distinct government bureaus
are said to include among their du
ties preservation of species of po
lar bears in Alaska.
Readjustment Proposed.
Representative R. Walton Moore,
of Virginia, has pending a resolution
for appointment of a congressional
committee to recommend a readjust
ment of the government service so
that each department would handle
only the questions naturally associat
ed with that department.
The plan would take from the
treasury everything not related to the
finances of the nation; from the war
and navy department activities not
connected with the upkeep of the
military and naval establishments;
from the commerce department things
not related to foreign and domestic
commerce, and so on. Such a plan
would also embrace, if it is to be
worth while, creation of independent
departments or bureaus, such as one
of education and science and
another on public health, And still
another on maritime affairs, to take
jurisdiction over the widely scatter
ed activities now tacked on to some
department with which they have no
direct sympathy.
From the discharge of “war work
ers” who hang on eighteen months
after the armistice, to a amalgama
tion of great bureaus now duplicating
one another’s work, congress has a
big job ahead of it—if it will only
quit talking and tackle the job.

STATEMENT ON
CONVENTION IS
ISSUED BY HARIS
(The Atlanta Journal News Bureau)
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, April 24. —Urging
Georgia Democrats to lay aside their
differences and save their criticisms
to be used against the Republican
party, Senator William J. Harris is
sued a statement late today regard
ing the approaching state convention
in Atlanta on May 18.
Senator Harris expressed the hope
that Georgia never will have another
campaign as bitter as that through
which the state recently passed. '
He urges also that the state con
vention indorse the League of Na
tions with suph reservations as were
approved by the bi-partisan confer
ence committee of the senate and that
it also indorse the Wilson administra
tion. Senator Harris further advises
that the convention ought not to
condemn any Democrat who has dif
fered with the administration on any
question, and that the time has come
for .party harmony in Georgia.
Text of Statement
The statement issued by Senator
Harris reads as follows:
“The Democrats of Georgia have
signified their preference as to the
presidential candidates. Let us Rope
that we never will again have so
much bitterness in a campaign. I
sincerely hope that the Georgia Dem
ocratic convention, which meets May
IS. will not condemn any Democrats
who has differed with the administra
tion on any question. Any such pol
icy would be detrimental for the
party in our state and the nation, and
it is time that all Democrats lay
aside their differences and save their
criticism for the Repunblican party.
“The Georgia convention will elect
the delegates to the national conven
tion, which will adopt the platform
and name the candidates to make the
race against the Republican nominees
on the platform adopted by the Re
publican convention.
“The Democratic platform will in
dorse the record of a Democratic
president and a Democratic house and
senate; will criticize the record of a
‘do-nothing’ Republican congress;
will indorse the League of Nations
with reservations which were ap
proved by a bi-partisan committee pf
Republicans and Democrats who
really favored the treaty, and these
reservations were supported by all
Democratic senators except Senators
Reed. Shields and Gore.
“The Republican platform will crit
icize the Democratic record; will try
to explain their utter failure to ac
complish anything for the people
since they have been in control of
both houses of congress; will make
many false promises; will indorse
the Lodge reservations to the treaty,
which were supported by practically
all the Republican senators. The
record already has been made on the
treaty by both parties. The Demo
crats who voted for the Lodge res
ervations did so in most instances
not as an original preference, but
only after having voted for the res
ervations which nearly all the Demo
crats supported.
“The people of Georgia and the
south owe their present prosperin'
largely to the high price of cotton.
Had a Republican administration
been in power the price of cottton
would have been fixed at about 10
cents a pound# and the farmers o
Georgia and all of the people would
have been in no better financial con
dition than they were under the Re
publican administration.
“I hare no apologies to offer for
urging the county Democratic execu
tive committee of Georgia to select
good Democrats trom among the
friends of the-successful presidential
candidate in their county, to attend
the state Democratic convention to
pass resolutions on the Democratic
party and the Democratic administra
tion, and elect delegates to a national
Democratic convention to adopt a
platform and name candidates on
which the Democratic party will go
to the country in November to defeat
the Republican party.”
Armenia Recognized as
Independent Republic
By the United States
WASHINGTON. April 24.—Ar
menia was formally recognized today
as an indepenent republic by the
United States.
Similar action has been decided
upon by the allied conference at San
Remo. The American recognition
was in the form of a note addressed
by Secretary Colby to Mr. Pasder
madjian, Washington representative
of the Armenian republic.
Notice of the recognition also was
communicated formally to the dip
lomatic corps abroad and to the al
lied conference in Italy.
This recognition makes no attempt
to establish boundaries for the new
republic. That is left to be deter
mined later by international action.
Secretary Colby today said no de
cision nad a oeen made regarding a
United States diplomatic representa
tive to be sent to Armenia.

Russian Army Makes
Counter Proposal for
Japanese Armistice
VLADIVOSTOK, April 24.—Reply
ing to proposals by the Japanese
commander here involving, among
other things, the withdrawal of the
Russian army to a radius of thirty
kilometers from the Japanese gar
risons, the Russian army made coun
ter proposals today for an immediate
armistice.

way line between Nikolsk and Khaba

The Japanese proposals also re
quired that the government hand
over its boats, ammunition factories,
guns and ammunition for temporary
safekeeping, and that the .zemstovas
speedily re-establish transportation,
the Japanese assisting. The Jap
anese also would allow a certain
number of Russian police within the
thirty kilometers radius.
The Russian counter proposals, in
addition' to asking an armistice, of
fered the withdrawal of the Russian
army to the region of the Amur and
the Khabarovsk, but stipulated the
retention of the shops for repairing
the means of transportation. The
Russians also proposed they retain
their ships and declared they would
not give up their war material.

FRANCE BELIEVED
WINNER IN FIRST
TILT WITH ALLIES
PARIS, April 24.—France has
carried her- major point in the
first open diplomatic tilt between
allied leaders during their present
conference at San Remo, according
to information received here tonight.
Germany must disarm, it was
learned semi-officially. The premiers
also have agreed privately to re
fuse Berlin’s request for an army
of 200,000 men—double the num
ber permitted by the treaty of Ver
sailles.
She will .foot be allowed to retain
her “einwofinerwehr” (civil guards),
it was said. The allies also have
decided to insist that* disarmament,
as provded in the treaty, be car
ried out at once.
French officials here regarded
these matters, discussed by the
premiers in an informal meeting to
day, as the most important matter
yet taken up at San Remo. From
France’s viewpoint, they said, the
German question was all-important.
No government could recede from
the position announced when French
occupied the German Rhine
cities’ and remain in power.
The early differences-- between the
alliesc—and there was no disposition
here to deny that differences had ex
isted—were understood to pivot on
the question of the strength of the
Bolshevist movement in Germany.
Prime Minister Lloyd George, of
Great Britain, and Premier Nitti, of
Italy, took the position the Bolshev
ist bogey, which. constantly has been
flaunted in the face of the allies by
the Berlin authorities, was a real
menace. They favored a sufficient
force to enable the Ebert government
to put down any outbreak.*
Premier Millerand and Marshal
Foch insisted there was no Bolshev
ism worthy of the name in Germany
and hence argued there was no ne
cessity for an increase in the sifce
of the Teuton army.
Such an increase, the French said,
would inevitably perpetuate Prus
sian militarism and restore the Ger
man menace to Europe’s peace.
The questions of indemnities to be
paid by the defeated teutons, and
coal deliveries provided for their de
struction of French mines, was still
under discussion, it was understood.

Metal Hurled 1,200
Feet Strikes Woman
Davenport, lowa.—Hurtling a quar
ter mile through the air, a five

Take Pepto-Mangan, Fa

“Let’s Go,” instead
-Of “Let’s Don’t”
When normally healthy, ambitious
people begin to lack* energy and tire
easily—when they are quickly dis
couraged and law in vitality, it usual
ly means theii’ blood has grown
weak.
Such people are called anemic, or
“run-down.” Build up the blood and
you build up the health and spirits.
Pepto-Mangan is a pleasant-tastlng
red blood builder and it contains ex
actly the elements which poor, pale
blood needs to become rich, red
blood.
Red blood means rosy cheeks,
bright eyes, a clear brain, a firm
step. Pepto-Mangan has placed thou
sands of people who needed building
up in the full-blooded, energetic, vig
orous class. It changes the "let's
don’t” attitude to a “leys go” atti
tude. Recommended by physicians
fop thirty years and sold all over the
world.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liquid
and tablet form. Both contain the
same medicinal ingredients.
Buy Pepto-Mangan at your drug
gist’s. Be sure the name “Gude’s"
is on the package. Without “Gude’S”
