Another American Heard From.

Another American has been heard from in the
Halls OF Congress, and he speaks the language OF
that real. Americansm which knows no party and
with which Representative Gardner, of Massachu-
sets, angered and alarmed the aliens and neu-
rotics of the House of Representatives have come
from Washington in long time. They compile
ment the outburst of indignant patriotism with
which Senator Williams, of Mississippi, earlier in
the week similarly affected a similarly afflicted
Senate.-Boston Transcript

1t is scarcely likely that Representative Buch-
snan is overwhelmed with gratitude to Repre-
sentative Fitzgerald because of the latters demand
that the House investigate for the purpose of de-
termining whether there is any connection be-
tween Mr.. Buchanan's effort to impeach District
Attorney Marshall and Mr.. Buchanan's indictment
for violation Of the Sherman law. 1t would not
be surprising, however, to learn that Mr. Fitz-
gerald has received letter of thanks from the

duced in the convention at San Fran
cisco in December of the American
Federation of Labor. The conven-
tion, pressed for time, referred the
resolution to the Executive Council
of the Federation at Washington with
power to act. The Council met on
February 21 and remained in session
until the 26th. Among other bust
ness transacted was the endorsement
of this measure.
If adopted, the measure will abol-
ish all taxes on labor and its products
and put into the public treasury Of
Oregon at least 90 per cent. of the
annual rental value of all land with
in the State. Another provision
creates a loan fund to help home
seekers and others to engage in pro-
ductive work.
There have hitherto been some who
critized organized labor, for deyot-
ing so much effort to strikes and pal
liatives, and so little to fundamentals
The American Federation has now
taken a position that must do much
to silence such criticism. The stand
it has taken is one in the interest, not
only of its own members, but of hu-
manity.

VILLAS AMERICAN ALLIES
New York World

L~'N' VI - " SAAAl
Treason against the United States,
as the constitution defines it, Shall
consist only in levying war against
them or in adhering to their enemies,
giving them aid and comfort"
To incite a foreign revolt against
the United States is not treason with
in meaning of the constitution; but
is it less a crime?
Both the secretary of state and the
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations have charged that
an organized propaganda is at work
in this country to inflame the minds
Of Mexicans against the United States
and thus compel Intervention. There
is plenty of circumstantial evidence
to corroborate these grave accusa-
tions.
The only way Intervention can
come is by melting the Mexicans
against Gen Pershing's forces now
III pul6ulI VI MA llC pl CDldChI
has given the most solemn assuran-
ces to the Carranza government that
the United States is engaged only In
punitive expedition and that the
troops will be withdrawn as soon as
Villa is disposed of and his bandits
killed or captured. Congress has
formally adopted resolution ratify-
ing the presidents assurances. There
can be no doubt that the Carranza \
government thoroughly understands
the aims and objects of the expedi
ton, and is doing it's best to cooper
ate with the United States But
there is no evidence that the rank
and file of MeXicans shares this un-
derstanding; and every demand for
intervention from American sources,
every attempt that is made to discre-
dit the good faith of the Carranza
government, every lie that is indus
triously set into circulation to inflame
race hatred is lighted match thrown
toward a powder magazine.
So far as this propaganda has any
purpose except partisan desire to en-
barrass the president, that purpose
must be to urge Mexicans to attack |
American troops and murder Ameri-
can soldiers in order that interven-
ton may result. Every one of these
falsehoods, every one of these parti-
san attacks, adds to Villas strength |
and increases the difficulties that |
Gen. Pershing's forces must contend |
against Some of the persons back
of this propaganda would be no less |
disloyal if they went into Mexico and |
publicly advised the populace to sup
port Villa and resist the American |
troops by force of arms.
The man who does not realize that !
the situation in Mexico is critical is
worse than fool, and every man
who tries to intiame Mexican passion
against the United States at this |
time is morally an ally Of villa.

MICHIGAN DRYs GAIN = CoUN-
TIES

Detroit, April 3.-Prohlbition for
ces gained two counties from the vets
in Michigan today on the face Of re-
turns received from the 13 counties
which voted on the local option is
sues. Baraga and Clare counties,
which have had saloons, vote dry.
Counties having saloons and vot-
ing TO retain them are: Delta, School
craft, Lake, Manistee, Iosco, Ogemaw
and Jackson. The last named in
which the city of Jackson is located,
gave wet majority of SIT, as COM
pared with a wet majority of 1,2O8
in 1914.
In addition to gaining Barga and
Clara the prohibitionists retain Me-
costa, W eXford, ROscommOn and Ing
ham. The dry majority in Ingham
in which is situated Lansing the state
capital, probably viii exceed 1900, a
gain OF about 500 over the vote two
years ago.
Escanaba, Mich, April 3-Baraga
county. in Northern Michigan, was
added to the dry list, the vets losing
by 15 votes in today's election.

WHAT WOULD HAPPEN

Many people in the country want
to get into a war with Germany, and
they denounce President Wilson for
standing In the way. In case of a
rupture with Germany, several things
would happen. The Springfield Re-
publican mentions a few, as follows;
l. The shifting of the burden Of
financing the war against the central
powers of Europe to the back of the
American taxpayer.
2. The bedeyiling of American po-
litcs Tor a generation at least, be-
cause of the large number Of people
in the United States who sympathize
with Germany.
3. The formation, in bitter hostil-
ity to the government, of secret or
ganizations which would far exceed
in their capacity for mischief the
'copperheads" of the American civil
war.
4. Chronic riots in New York, Gin
cinnati, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Chica-
go and St. Louis, where pro-Teuton
sympathy was strongest and most ag-
gressive.
6. The blowing up or burning OF
Canal locks.
6. The blowing upor burning Of
the national Capitol building and va
rious state capitols.
7. Raids of the most recently built
German cruiser submarines across
the ocean to attack shipping at the
harbOrs of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia.
8. American boys-your boy-be-
ing sent to die in the trenches of
France and Flanders so that the map
of Europe might be drawn to suit
London, Paris, Rome and Petrograd
No wonder that President Wilson
is doing his utmost to save this coun-
try from a clash with Germany. 1t
would affect the internal affairs of
this country tremendously. The fight
ing itself would not be the worst part
of the program. 1t would be an era
Of plunder, of party dissension and
industrial chaos. The popular will
would be a poor thing to manage in
such a war as that might be. We
have kept out of it thus far by the
presidents careful treatment of the
grave issues that have come before
him, and by which, mindless of the
criticisms of Roosevelt, Lodge, Wood
and that crowd, he has thus far been
able to maintain peace and honor in
this republic.-OhiO State Journal,

FIST FIGHTS CURE HOGS

Black eyes and blood shed are on
the program of the State Agriculture
Board. Hog cholera is to be cured
by fist fights at the state serum plant.
Real knock downs show how much
harmony and good will exists in the
Ohio Agriculture Department. Quar-
rels and factions have reached a stage
where republicans want to hurt each
other with clubs and fists. A city
man, entirely untitled for the job,
was made Superintendent of the State
Serum Farm. He proceeded to use
the methods of the city political boss.
Experienced men got tired of being
insulted and snubbed. Recently the
boss was hit hard and knocked down.
He is a republican but he went to the
floor under a sledge hammer punch
from man who honestly works.
Fist fights won't cure hog cholera or
improve the quality of the serum.
The city boss didn't get hit any hard
er in March than Willis will be in
yember.-Ottawa Sentinel.

OHIO FEDERATION
WOmen's Clubs to Make State
Wide Cleanup and Paint
UP Campaign.

Clean Up by May Day" is the mes
sage of the Civics Committee of the
Ohio Federation of Women's CLUBS
to the club women throughout the
state. Let May Day. 1916. be cele,
brated in every community by civic
regeneration and new civic spirit
stimulated by community co-opera-
ton for community betterment dur
ing the month of April. Every com
munity will be greatly benefited by
such a course.
If the women of Ohio will cooper
ate in the general movement the
campaign will not only be vigorous,
but thorough 1t will result in bet
ter sanitation, better homes, cleaner
streets, finer gardens, Fairgrounds
and parks, less fire loss and lower in
surance rates. The women's clubs
of Ohio have undertaken to do their
share in this matter. In fact they
are leading in the movement.
When the housewife dons her
dDiOll anu Dlfpdlto " NAOdh bhV
house the mere male citizen usually
takes to the street. If he does take
to the street this spring he will find
that the housewife has been before
him and that cleanup activities are
being prosecuted just as vigorously
there is in the house. If he goes to
his club he will find the same condi-
ton. If he goes to his Office he will
find the janitor service augmented
and that a rapid elimination of ac-
dust and dirt is going on.
Hurredly passing into the street as
he once more starts to dodge a gen
raj cleanup, he will find activity on
every side which betokens a people
arousd and a determination to make
things clean and keep them so. Bat
tered buildings, known for years as
fire traps, will be razed, old houses
