however, to have led such senators
as LaFollette, Gronna, Gore, Stone,
Reed, Hardwick and Vardaman, still
more viciously to attack the policies
of the government, and more vigor-
ously to attempt to obstruct prepare
lions for maintaining army and
navy. Prominent in their several
states and in the highest legislative
body in the nation, their u]tterances
encourage such organizations as the
l. W. w. more openly to defy law in
efforts to defeat the plans of the gov
eminent for victory, for world de-
mocracy and peace. For economic
Observation-Disclosures a few paltry dol
lars-these senators would sacrifice
the lives of four boys" at the front.
The recent speech of Senator LaFol-
lette is particularly reasonable. He
denounced the war as unjustifiable,
declared that Germany's disregard of
our technical" rights was inadequate
cause for hostilities, and defended Ger
many's sinking of the Lusitania by
saying: "The person who enters such
a ship takes his life in his own
hands," The speech LaFollette con-
cluded with an attack on the govern
ment and the war tax bill. From be-
ginning to end the speech was pro-
German, and it's influence was intend
ed to be pro-German, It gave aid and
comfort to the enemy at home as well
as in Europe. Significant is it that
a German agent was arrested trying
to smuggle copies of the speech out
of the country for the use of his own
government.
To LaFollette and these other sena.
tors is chargeable much of the delay
incident to the consideration of the
wal tax bill. At almost every legis.
lative stage of that measure they EN-.
ployed dilatory tactics, almost com
polling the Senate to adopt "cloture'
in order to secure progress. At one
time they seemed determined to tall
the bill to death notwithstanding thu
money it will raise is needed as much
to maintain the expeditionary force
already in France as to send othel
men and more equipment across tn.
water. They have from the beginning
of the war been the obstructionists o:
the government, at times careful t,
avail themselves of technical" right
at other times throwing caution to tn
winds. Their curse has been moral,
reasonable if their words and act
have not constituted actual treason.

This is the view taken by ex-Presi-
dent Roosevelt who has styled La
Toilette "the Hun within our gates"
by ex-President Taft who declares the
senator to be "un-American," and by
the foremost leaders Of thought
throughout the country. This is the
basis of the demands for impeach-
ment coming from patriotic organi-
cations all over the country. It ap-
pears to be the %concensus of opinion
that men who oppose government can
not consistently be parts of that gov
eminent, and that if they will not
voluntarily resign they must be forced
to get out. This is the position also
of the majority of newspapers now
loyalty supporting the government,
one going so far as to say "these men
should be sent over to Germany where
they belong"
And why should such men longer be
tolerated when hundreds of others are
being arrested and confined in prisons
and detention camps? Should they
find protection in position of promi-
hence which others cannot have be-
cause of ignorance and misdirected
zeal? Should they be allowed to con-
tinue their pro-German influence on
public opinion when others are pre-
vented from extending propaganda no
more mischievous or harmful to the
nation? No, the time has come when
every man, whoever he may be, whose
words and deeds are un-American to
the degree that they are obstructive
and injurious, should be treated as a
common enemy. "Our boys" are now
at the front, and more are going
every week. We must have loyalty at
home. Out with them.

There is in prospect a general
ihouse-cleaning at Washington. Both
the Senate and the House are daily
receiving resolutions from organiza-
lions and kilograms from individuals
demanding impeachment of members
of those bodies charged with spread

thence has ceased to be a virtue with
men and women whose "boys" are at

Nearly three hundred millions will
be expended by the War Department
in building training camps, making
the average cost Of the thirty-two
cantonments about nine and a quarter
millions. The camp at Spartenburg
will cost $3,234,750, or about $92 for
each of the men within its capacity.
Camp Upton at Yaphank, presumably
because Of the requirements of a
colder climate, will cost $6,390,528,
or $165 for each man. Such vast cost
is staggering, but, with the adoption
of some form of universal military
training, a future probability, the out
lay may be regarded as a large
part permanent investment.

With the completion of the new
federal and state highway north and
south next year, Stark county will
be able to boast Of some of the
finest main highways in the state.
This condition is largely due to the
progressiveness Of the present board

have overlooked no opportunity in
making the roads of the county a
source of satisfaction to every man
and woman who travels over them.

FOUND NO CAMP THERE
War Dept Investigates Sending Re-

has been ordered by Secretary Baker
of circumstances surrounding the
misunderstanding which caused en-
listed men of the ordnance corps to
be sent to Raritan, n. j., last night for
mobilization at an ordnance base,
which apparently exists only on pa
per.
The arrival of some two score of the
force was reported to Mr.. Baker yes
terday by the Ttate authorities and Of
ficials of Raritan, who are co-operat-
ing in taking care of the troops Of
ficers were sent promptly to straight
en- out the tangle, and the soldiers
probably will be housed temporarily
at Camp Upton, n. j.
The troops are men of draft age
who have been indicted into the mill

December Is, and assigned to the
ordnance department under instruc-
tions issued to the local boards. Near
" 900 of them may be enroute from

IN ROTARIAN GREETING
''H Apply New Year" Meeting for
Thursday Noon at C. of C.

"A Happy New Year" says Cecil
Howes to the Rotarians in the first
announcement of the year for 1918,
and then he goes on with a fine,
snappy announcement of the first
program of the Rotary club in 1918
In his capacity as secretary of the
Rotary club. and as friend extraor-
binary of the membership, Cecil
Howes announces the meeting in this
wise:
"Of course you are going to watch
the old year out and the new one in
tonight and then tomorrow morning
you will tell the folks all about your
new resolutions and how good you
are going to be and all about the new
plans. And then along about half
past two that same afternoon you will
break the first one and then the
whole thing goes to smash
But there is a resolution you ought
not to break and that is that you will
maintain a SO percentage attendance
record at Rotary meetings during
1918 Do you know that there are
only three members of our club with
perfect attendancea records during
1917 and only ten who can quality
at SO per cent Two of the ten might
be added to the three perfect ones
because each presented excuses for
their inability to attend.
The first meeting of 1918 will be
of Commerce. 1915 is the hour. While
resolving to attend maybe it wouldn't
hurt to resolute little on prompt
ness.
You have heard a lot about pre-
paredness in the last few months and
some about universal military train
ing and the Swiss system of maintain
ing any army. George M Abbott of
Chicago. field secretary of the Uni
versal Military Training league, is
coming to Topeka on this date to tell
the Rotarians just wha the Cham
berlain bill for universal military
training really is. Mr.. Abbott comes
to Topeka purely on mission of ex-
PLANTATION. You may ask questions
on any details.
while the luncheon will not be on
New Years day it is SO close to it that
it is thought this should be a fitting
time for some Rotary resolutions.
Marco Morrow, Walter Johnson. DR..
Estey. Dr. Van Horn. Albert Patten
and Charles Adams will present some
resolutions for the clubs considera-
ton"

of the list in the nation. There is no

Comment of the Beacon.
Commenting on the wonderful cam
paign in Shawnee county. the Beacon
said:
When you look over the activities
of the recent Red Cross drive it looks
r much as tho they will have to
gtye the championship to Morton Al
baugh, the chairman of the committee
in charge of Shawnee county Shaw
nee county came out of the drive with
$4,000 members of tha American Red
Cross. Her quota wa only $500 1t
exceeds the membership of any county
in Kansas and it is doubtful if any
county of similar population in the
United States has equaIled her record.
Morton Albaugh used to be known
as the shrewdest political manager
this state had ever seen. He retired
from politics and it has been a num-
Der of years since he applied his
managing ability to any public work
When the war opened he got back on
the job of managing movements. He
was in the first Red Cross drive. the
