minority" and expressing confidence
in his integrity and loyalty as a
true American citizen. A part of
the resolution said:
Resolved, That we ask for Robert
M. LaFollette the greatest right of
all democracy, right to be heard,
a right to express the views of an
intelligent minority, for on this rock
is founded all liberty"
This resolution speaks the solid
truth when it says that the greatest
tight of all democracy is the right
to be heard. Indeed this is certain
ly the rock on which all liberty is
founded, but we are unable to see
the logic of any citizen dem anding
the right of free speech and then
using it to the detriment of the
country. Senator LaFollette is a
man of much ability, much learning
and much influence, and is able to
sow discord broadcast throughout
the country at a time when con-
fusion and discord are the last things
in the world that ought to be abroad
in the land.
Then, too, the foolishness of op-
position to war at this time is easily
apparent. The war is on and is
going to be fought out, Those who
oppose it are rendering themselves
obnoxious and serving no good pur-
pose. On the other hand, they are
doing damage in creating senti-
ment against war when there is not
the slightest chance to avert the
struggle.
However, let US suggest that news
papers and citizens in various parts
Of the country are abusing the right
of free speech in abusing Senator
LaFollette and some other senators
as much as these senators are abus-
ing that right in their attitude to-
ward the president in his war plans.
But we have always noticed that
the right of free speech is granted
to the majority and denied to the
mino,ity. 1t is so in this case.
Here we have the majority making
all sorts of ill-tempered and ill-ad-
vised statements about those who
are guilty of the same offense.
Senator I.aFollette and those other
senators who are now being 50 gen.
orally criticised are public officials
aud representatives of the people.
If their courses do not suit their
constituents they will be removed
from office at another election. If
there is a demand that they be re-
moved from Office by the senate
before another election, that demand
certainly ought to start from the
people they represent in congress

The Roosevelt plan for sending
a volunteer army into France,
while the regular machinery
provided in the CONSUMPTION bill
is raising the 500, 600 men, has
met with popular approval, in
spite of the war departments
disapproval, and it is possible
that it may yet prevail. Force
has been added to the former
presidents plea by his state
ment that he is willing to serve
anywhere, and his speeches in
support Of the go ,ernment. The
war department is not to be
criticized for its attitude, for UNI
trained soldiers in large bodies
are not desired in France, as they
Would only increase the food
problem. But the idea of a
quickly organized and trained
force sent with all possible haste
to the battle front viii be one
way Of showing Americas de-
sire to do its part in the war,
and it is probably that spirit
among the people that is winning
support for the Roosevelt army.

During these times of war the
weather may be a tame and UNI
attractive subject, but we pause
to state that the first part of
this week was a reminder that
things are not what they seem.
just as we were beginning to
congratulate ourselves upon the
arrival Of spring, and were in
the act of donning our summer
apparel, the shock of the season.,
that unrelenting exhibit of the
frown of the elements in the
shape of wind and piercing chill
swept the land in matchless fu-
ny. Let us meet the situation
with stolid determination, with
all due sympathy for the sheep
man and the fruit grower, and
find in the refreshing showers
encouragement to plant those
gardens and do our part in feed
ing ourselves and leave the
store-bought food, to as large q
degree as possible, for those who
have no other alternative. Read
every patriotic appeal and hear
its call to yourself personally anC
heed with prompt and eiicieni
action anything demanded o.
you in the way of loyalty.
