THE NORTH BEARS BULK OFBURDEN Republican Leaders Call At tention to the Way South Is Bossing Things WaMhlnirton, Oct. 7. The North. <ht> Middle West and the West are taxed in manpower and money to de feat Germany nearly tenfold to the kpllth'S One. Despite this, framing of all war legislation is vested in Con gressmen from the South, say Repub lican leaders here. Every important committee chair manship in Congress is held by a Southern Democrat. Of sixty-one com mittees forty-one have Southern Democratic chairmen. The remaining twenty chairmanships are held by Northern Democrats, but none of these committees is important and none of them have anything to do with the War program. Of -20 House Demo crats 130 are from the "Solid South. It is idle for the people of the North. Middle West and West to send Demo cratic Congressmen to Washington, hoping that these Congressmen will * have a voice in shaping the destinies of the Republic. Democratic members from these sections of the country are ignored by the Southern Democratic Congressmen unless they subscribe blindly to the policies and commands of the Southern members, or are con trolled absolutely by the Democratic caucus, which is controlled by the Southern members. The Southern Democratic Machine . is running Congress and the country, and conducting the war. despite the fact that it represents the smallest section of the country in population. Wealth and manpower. During' the fiscal year 1917 the people of the Lnit ed States paid into the Federal Treas ury $3,671,918,236 in internal taxes. Of this sum the "Solid South" contribut ed $587,359,433, or about 13 per cent, of the total. The entire country paid s 521,340,901 income and excess profits taxes. Of this sum the "Solid South" contributed $258,854,006, or about 9 per cent. Under such conditions of government will the people of the North, Middle West and Wost decide to elect Democratic Congressmen in November to perpetuate the rule of the "Solid South?' v fCh Gray Hair use lawMi A very meritorious preparation for restoring natural color to gray or faded hair, for removing dandruff and as a hair dressing.

Sproul for governor and the Republican nomi nees for CongTess is made in a letter sent out by the Pennsylvania Pa triotic Union over the signature of C. W. Hill, the secretary. This communication reads: "Do you ever stop In these busy times to thinlc of the part Pennsylva nia—your state—is playing In the great war? "Do you realize that out of our population of about 8,500,000 there has been a registration of men avail able for military service of 2,020,759, and that up to September 12, 306,998 have been sent into actual service? Do you realize that up to this time Pennsylvania has sent more sol diers overseas than any state of the union, and more than all the south ern states combined, in spite of the fact that the latter have three times our population,? "Do you realize that Pennsylvania paid last year more Federal taxes than any other state (eliminating Wall Street, which really belongs to the whole country) and more than twice as much as all the southern states combined? "Did you know that Pennsylvania paid one-sixth of the entire amount of revenue paid by the whole coun try? "Do you recall that Pennsylvania has oversubscribed her allotment to every Liberty Loan, to the funds for the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., Knights of Columbus and various other funds? "Did you know that Pennsylvania was furnishing one-sixth of the munitions turned out by the entire country? "Did you ever realize what a hole would be made in our war program if Pennsylvania were eliminated? "And then do you ever realize that Pennsylvania has no part whatever in the management of the war or in the laying of taxes? "Do you realize that all national legislation is in the hands of a small group of Southern Democrats, who tell you what to do and how and when to do it? "And yet Pennsylvania has proved her patriotism in every essential. She has not sulked nor faltered. Nor will she. But when the lieutenants of the President leave their important tasks to come here to work their political game are not the loyal patriotic Re publicans who have made possible Pennsylvania's great attainment. Jus tified in asking for a place in the legislative halls of the country? "On November 5 there will be elected 435 Representatives in Con gress of whom 36 will go from this state. We now have 28 Republican members, why not make it 34 or 35? The two parties are now so evenly divided that a gain of four or five in Pennsylvania might make the House of Representatives Republican, and remember that it is in the House that all revenue legislation originates. "As a Pennsylvanian who is deeply concerned in national affairs at this most critical period of our history, you are urged to give heed to the situation and use every effort to send a practical sclid Republican delega tion to Congress."
