mindedness."
"The Springfield Republican" is also
against expulsion, maintaining that noun
ING was said, so far as the published 70
PORTS indicate, to justify charge OF aco-
nal sedition against him, and the Senate
would not expel member for anything
less serious"
"The New York World" thinks that
while consideration Of La Follette's case
by the Senate might not necessarily lead
TO expulsion. still "the fact that he was
nut on trial would admonish him and some
of his initators." "The Lincoln tNeb.)
State Journal" is against expulsion on tho
ground that millions Of Americans VIII
be made to believe that not so much his
opinion about the war as his opinion as 70
revenue legislation, his fight in the Sem
ste for CONSUMPTION of income, has been
the motive Of his opponents; that war
profits, not war patriotism, is behind the
attack on him" II also notes that expul-
zion would have a bad effect in Russia,
where the Radicals use every case OF re-
preston in this country as evidence that
Russia is as safe in alliance with Germany
as in alliance with the United States
Expulsion Would Be Blessing;
L But Fairness Must Stand First
"The Oklahoman" is Of the opinion thas
"his expulsion from the Senate would be .
public blessing; but it puts forth the fol.
lowing plea for fairness:
"But let US be fair 20 La Toilette. Vios

fact remains, nevertheless, that no informed
man can imagine La Toilette a corruption-
ist His whole career refutes H. In the
game of politics La Toilette has not chosen
the line Of least resistance, but rather the
line OF most resistance. He was an insurs
gent long before insurgency became FASH
ionable He has championed causes and is-
sues in the teeth of his party powers. He
has been a courageous public servant when
compromise beckoned and could have been
followed most comfortably. He has been
fearessly, rashly honest when there was
no surfeit Of honesty In Washington atr
fairs"
"The Topeka Capital too, while agree.
ing with Colonel Roosevelt's severe indict-
nent as "only too well merited,' has the
following to say in behalf OF the Wisconsin,
Senator:
ave can have TO sympathy for tho un-
American proposition that La Toilette be de-
prvcd of freedom of speech, but he has
been and is out of touch with the times and
out Of sympathy with the enlightened ma
tions Of the Garth"
And THE Houston Chronicle" whild
holding him not fit to continue Senator
Of the United States, finds certain ex-
PLANTATION for his grave alteration. II
writes:
"Mr. La Toilette won his success by oppos-
/ ing accepted policies, and perhaps he is so
welded 20 the idea OF antagonizng major
ity rule as to be incapable of perceiyins
whether that rule Is right or wrong"

nificant statement in "Capper's Weekly:

great sacrifices for the war in the right spirit,
that it would not spare itself, but that moth
ing would put more heart in Western people
and give the West greater confidence in what
you are doing here in Washington than to
have you put the money-grabbers out OF that
business. If you demonstrate TO the people
that this government is terribly in earnest
about making this a rich mans war well
as poor mans fight, the West will back you
with an enthusiasm fervid as camp meet
ing. Get the gougers that are moving up the
cost of living, draft excess profits, and the
West will go down TO the last ditch with you
in this war, if nsed be- as cheerfully as TO a
picnic. You can judge yourself what it would
mean to the nation to have the people face
the war in this temper.
Everywhere | went in the East took

men of wealth, as we'll as the rest OF the
people, believed the nation should take 50
per cent of the big incomes and all of the
war profits except reasonable return on the

The West believes that our greatest enc

suppression of the |. W. W. will destroy
its immediate power for harm, it will not
remedy the condition that made such an
organization possible. Deeper and more
farreaching reforms will be needed TO

Similar caution in handling the problem
Justly is urged by "The New York Even

IDOL has become unbalanced" and regards
this as "the most charitable construction
that can be put upon his erratic and dis
loyal conduct"
The Butte Miner remarks with seem
ing regret that La Toilette "does not WELD
sufficient influence to make it worth the
while of any government to execute him
~ a traitor" and hence would be content
with his expulsion from the Senate.
The Chicago Record-Herald' votes:
Senator La Toilette should be expelled
from the United States Senate" and adds,
with a facetious touch: "He will go down
the ages 'Hun-wept, Hun-honored and
Hun-sung.'"
The Colorado Springs Gazette thinks
that Senator La Toilette should not be
allowed to wear the livery of liberty to
serve the Kaiser in" And "The Phila-
Gelpha Inquirer" sees one good effect, at
q remote point, of expulsion, writing: IF
the Senate should make an example Of La
Toilette, its action would have most ben
cfcial effect, especially in Germany" The
same paper says in another article: "The
PEOPLE of this country know viper when
they see one, and if they must bear the in
dignity of such Senator they can at least
make life uncomfortable for him"
The Cleveland Plaindealer" agrees with
Colonel Roosevelt that LA Toilette is,
without question, the most dangerous foe
of democracy in America; while "The

"The Hartford Courant" says bluntly:
"The Senate should kick him out and

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer' also
