AN AMERICAN VIEW

| That the socialists of America are
not nearly all tied up to the German
way of seeing things as many people
have imagined, has been repeatedly
shown IN recent months, during which
time numerous prominent socialist
workers have withdrawn themselves
from the regular organization and
aligned themselves in intelligent and
characteristic socialist manner with
Americans working openly and per-
sistently for America and American
institutions, and they have worked
and are working just as Loyalty as
any other class of American citizens
could work.
That these socialists see the light
as all true Americans see it was amp
ty demonstrated time and time again
at the meeting of labor leaders held
during the past week at Minneapolis,
but one of the most fitting illustra-
tions of how these men view the situ-
alton is had in an address by A. NJ.
Slh1ons, who said:
IF and j. p. Morgan were facing
pack of wolves, before / would
thrash out the economic problem
with him I'd ask him to take a gun
and fight off the animals. If we want
peace today, we must fight for it.
IF you stand in the road and in
terfere with the government, and il,
by a single hour, you delay a victor
ious peace, your hands are red with
the blood of our own men sent over.
To interfere with the government
isn't pacilism. it's MURDER
Could anything be more to the
point2 Just bring it home, to your
own community wherever you may
siye-"if you stand in the road and
Interfere with the government, and,
If, by single hour, you delay VIC
torious peace, your hands are red
with the blood of our (your) men sent
over" That is almost brutality
plain, places the blame for deaths in
the war on the heads Of those who
hase, by word or act. handicapped
the government in its preparation for
and prosecution Of the war. If you
inclined to do the things complained
Of your conscience may be consider
ably relieved in future years if you
take counsel from this and so alter
your inclination that it can be regard
ed AS nothing but Americanism.

THE NEW RADIO SUBMARINE

Los Angeles. Sept 5, A submarine
controlled by wireless has been pro.
duced here after two years of labor
by Robert Morton, inventor.
In special demonstration, min
iature submarine eight feet long and
weighing 800 pounds, was operated
successfully.

As the wireless key sent ont con-
troll waves, the tiny submersible re-
sponded readily. 1t was made to go
forward, backward, submerge, come
to tue surface, launch torpedo, fire

by the man crew craft now in use.
BY changing wireless wave lengths,
Mr.. Morton claims, several submar-
ines of this type can be operated sue
cessfully by one man aud a wireless
instrument. The craft can be oper-
ated from d station on shcre or from

phasizes it's possibilities as an unseen

Submarines of the Morton type
will cost. completely equipped with
motors, batteries, engines and fight
ing machinery, about $3.50 900, or one
tenth of the cost Of submarines now
in use. Naval officials and govern

Personal to the kaiserI
You didn't intend to make war on US,
OF course such a thing was absurd,
Twas only joke when you made a
pledge,
And Immediately broke your word.
You didn't intend to make war on US.
You are sinking our ships for fun,
Yet you say we are forcing you into
war,
AS soon as WE fire a gun.
You didn't intend to make war on US,
hen you set your net of spies,
To ferret out our weakest spot,
In friendly relations guise.
You didn't intend to make war on US,
Say. what did you mean TO do?
Id like TO know what you would do,
If we'd done those things TO YOU.

/ notice from the reports in the
daily papers that our Congressman
}. r. Connolly, voted against Presi-
dent Wilson's resolution in declaring
war. This seems doubly ridiculous
on the part of Mr.. Connolly since he
won the election last fall on his plea
of stand by the PRESIDENT" Presum-
ably Mr.. Connolly wanted the voters
to stand by the president as long as
it would be benefit to Mr.. Connolly
and help him TO be elected to~office,
but after the election is over and the
president is in need of all the support
he can get on account of the national
crises Mr.. Connolly seems to think
that it makes no differe ,ce whether
he stands by the president or not
The probability is that this is Mr..

There are different ways of show
ing patriotism and of being patriotic
to the government. There is no queS-
tion but that the person who freely
and voluntarily offers his service to
the army or navy in time of war, is
loyal and patriotic but many can do
as much for the good of the cause by
staying at home and cultivatinA the
soil to raise food for those who go to
things which are needful. However,
there isn't a spark of patriotism in
the fellow who neither goes to the
front nor does ANYTHING for the good
of the cause but who does all he can
to force prices on food stuff to un-
reasonable height and thus prove
himself leach and a robber toward
the government and the poor people
of the government.

prompts. some fellows to persistently

CUMBINATION OIL STOCK is GOOD
PROPERTY.

The Com bination Oil & Gas Co., of
Wichita, Kansas, brought in another
$50 barrel well last week, besides, the
ten wells already pumping oil are
looking better than ever. The COM
pany now has two large oil tanks on
its Chanute lease and two more are
being erected this week. The Prai-
rie Oil Co. is preparing to lay pipe
line from the Combination leases at
Chanute to their refineries at Hum
bolt, Kansas. When this pipe line is
in operation it will take care of all
the oil produced by the Combination
company, and the pipe line will be
for the exclueive use of this company.
When such a concern as the Prairie
Oil & Gas Co. will. at its own ex-
pense, lay private pipe line to their
refineries, it shows conclusiveIy that
the Combination is recognized as one
of the coming large companies of the
state This company has never
drilled dry hole and is now working
day and night to bring in wells num-
Der nineteen and twenty. Number
nineteen is expected to be brought in
this week. All wells are averaging
from fifty to one-hundred-fiftv bar
rels per day. The Combination COM
pany has now proven the entire Cha
mute lease and has let contracts for
drilling thirty more wells, the work
to be commenced at once.
