AN AMUSING FEATURE.

One amusing feature of the sena-
torial campaign is that the st. Paul
Pioneer Press and St. Paul Dispatch
are ridiculously inconsistent. Both
papers during the last three months
have teemed with editorials for these
propositions:
Denouncing the high prices of oil
and gasoline and demanding that
something be done to relieve the peo-
pie from extortionate exactions at
the hands of the Standard Oil COM
pany and it's subsidiaries.
Denouncing the armor plate
trust as brace of pirates that would
hold up the government, rather than
submit to the proposition for a gov
eminent owned and operated plant.
Declaring that American citizens
who took passage on armed merchant
steamers, subsequent to the notice
and warming issued by the German
government relative to the sinking
of armed vessels, were t'Traitors to
Peace"
Endorsing the "Passing Of the
Boss"
Opposing race segregation.
On every one Of these propositions
Senator Moses E. Clapp is strictly in
accord with the editorials of the Dis
patch and Pioneer Press
And yet they are supporting KEEL
logg.
Here is the editorial from the Dis
patch issued at the time of the Ger
man ultimatum:
Traitors to Peace.
At midnight tonight goes into ef-
feet the order to submarine COM
manders of the German navy that all
enemy merchantmen carrying mount
ed guns be sunk without warming
If on any of the ships destroyed in
compliance with this order there is
an American citizen, his mere pres
ence on board-whichs means that his
life will have been placed in jeop-
ardy if not lost--win operate auto
matically to break, off diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Germany. The next logical step is
war.
Our governments insists on its tech
nical rights to withdraw protection
from citizens who desire to ride into
the war zone on belligerent vessels
armed for offensive action. Respon-
sibility for the peace of the country
therefore falls upon citizens who
deem themselves justified in travel
ing under these circumstances.
70 If such citizens can pass the image
of the Goddess of Liberty in New
York harbor without feeling the burn
of a traitorous streak of yellow with
in them, cannot their conscience be
reached by visions of the blood and
mothers tears which may be the con-
sequence of their criminal flippancy?
And here is what Senator Clapp has
to say on this very same subject on
the floor of the U. S. senate few
days later: ....
