Senator Hardwick of Georgia, like Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin, and Senator Gronna of North Dakota, never loses chance to oppose cer- tain war measures that have been enacted into law. He is the cham pion of slackers, rather than the friend of the administration. He fought the draft bill when it was pending in Congress, and now since it is law he is still giving comfort to the enemy by encouraging young men who are drafted to ignore it. Yesterday Hardwick introduced a bill to require the consent of every man drafted into the national army before he could be sent to Europe. If all senators, or many of them, were like Georgia's junior senator the United States would make a sorry

They have done the best they could to make the American cause a failure.

 Butte has gone back to the old-fash- toned western way of getting rid of an undesirable citizen by lynching him. Army medical examiners were unable to locate the heart of an eastern man. Maybe his heart was in his mouth.
