oi the Marion Star declared he wel-

that it wrraM be the forerunner of
" "esurt proceedings that would mnke
pablie some of the new that the great
wpapers did not ge fit to print."
"I am prepared to spend cjuite aa
snack aa has been asked for in these

Make public this new" the statement
aid adding that "there in nothing
' this eouatry needs so much at the
Moment as some court proceedings
initiated by grand juries and pressed
bf incorruptible prosecuting attor-
Aalaap at Switch.
-"Twenty-two months ago. in April
"JB22. the senate by unanimous resolution-
called for the facts in the Tea-
pot Dome leases. That resolution
was so framed that the red flag of
raapicion was run up. For weeks no
answer ;ii was received and none
waa pressed for and thereafter until
quite recently the seardi for the facts
was made without vigor. What were
the newspapers doinjr for 22 months?
What was Senator Walsh doing? It
looks aa if somebody had been asleep
at the switch or perhaps asphyxiated
at the switch. At least no court pro-
ceedings hare yet resulted from the
Teapot Dome situation.
No Court Actio.
"Nor bare there been so far as I
am aware any court prw-eclii gs ini-
tiated as a result "f the . rinunai mis-

There are other directions in which
court proceedings would be admirable
Score Congress.
"Congress today Is --pending it
time solemnly and rt: auly debut mi
an income tax measure. It is like di-
cassing the size of s fauce you would
put in a barrel leaking between half
the staves. If we can have honest
administration of the taxes that are
collected the rate of income tai will
take care of itself.
"If this country were Invaded by an
alien foe and I were a young man I
believe I wonld offer myself for Its
defense. It has been attacked by
something more dangerous than a
military invasion by a foreign foe.
Corruption baa attacked the govern-
ment at Its heart. I believe 1 am a
patriotic citixen and I propose to offer
the same service in fighting this dan-
cer that a young man should offer in
fighting a military Invasion. I am
really enlisted in this matter because
of profound conviction.
"My attitude hides no motives of
nartisansliii). I have been a lifelong
republican. I believe that the facts
are not fully presented to the country
nd even when presented are not
being acted on."
