has gone forth to the sovereign peo-
pie of this country that they must
be silent while those things are
being done by their government
which most vitality concern their
well being, their happiness and their
lives.
To-day and for weeks past hon
est and law abiding citizens of this
country are being terrorized and
outraged in their rights by those
sworn to uphold the laws and protect
the rights of the people / have in
my possession numerous applications
establishing the fact that people are
being unlawfully arrested, thrown in
to Jail, held incommunicado for
days, only to be eventually discharg-
ed without ever having been taken
into court because they have COM
mitted no crime.
Private residences are being in
vaded. loyal citizens of undoubted
integrity and probity arrested, cross
examined and the most sacred con-
stitutional rights guaranteed to ev-
cry American citizen are being con-
tinually violated.
ut appears to be the purpose of
those conducting this campaign to
throw the country into a state of
terror to coerce public opinion, to
stifle criticism and suppress discus
sion of the great issues involved in
this war"
In support of his assertion that
congress should speak for the coun
try in declaring the purposes OF
war the senator cited presidents at
great length.
at would be bad enough of the con
stitution clothed the president with
any such power" he said, but tC
exercise such power without con
stitutional authority can not long be
tolerated if even the forms of free
government are to remain. We know
that the people would resist and i
necessary resist with arms in theil
hands, any scheme to clothe The
president with power to plunge thil
country into war and then to con
tinue the war as long as he desired.
Senator La Folette said that M
conviction was stronger with tn,
, people today than there should b.
no future wars except in case o

no clearness of understanding, n

After Weeks Of Pessimistic

After weeks and weeks OF gruelling
drouth, after the city and county

storm descended upon the city about
o'clock, soaking and soothing the
burnt roofs of the city. washing the
long collected debris from the surface
of the earth and washing the air OF
its terrific humidity.
Altho the electrical demonstration

reported In Tulsa up to a late hour
last night. II is probable that the
tank farms in the oil district will suf-
fer, while the farmer with his po-
tatoes and his corn eNults.
The temperature during the day
reached 95. with prospects for better
records soon, but the old rain has
curbed the malicious activities OF the
thermometer for the time being.
