"a United States senator speaking
among us only last night.
Senator La Toilette makes a pas
sionate plea for free speech. He had
II last night. But he used II not to
plead honestly the cause of the peo-
pie. He used 1t to exploit the igno-
rant and to rekindle pro- Germanism
which has been shamed out of coun-
tenance OF late by the publication Of
tht facts Of Prussian treachery,
tyranny and inhumanity. -"
Senator La Toilette likens him
self. in protesting against the war, to
Abraham Lincoln, who protested
against the Mexican war after it had
started. But the wars cannot be
compared. Moreover, Abraham Lin
coin, the tenderest, firmest and most
honest American who ever lived, was
not making a false and misleading
appeal to the former populations Of
two cases is more than a lie. II is a
sacrilege.
Senator La Toilette processes to
be the friend of the common people
as opposed to the wealthy plutocracy.
At the auditorium last night he de-
livered at the cause of the common
people the severest blow ii has had
since the birth of the republic. That
is a strong statement, but we make
it thoughtfully. HE HAS SMEAR
ED THE BANNER OF THE COM
MON PEOPLE WITH THE BLOOD
OF THE VICTIMS OF KAISERISM.
This is what Senator La Toilette
has done in st. Paul. Free speech is
a sacred right. Senator La Toilette
has had it. With it he has shot poi
soned bullets into the backs of our
boys. With 1t he has contaminated
the cause Of the common people.
With it he has fired hot steel at the
cause Of humanity itself"

THE MARKETING OF WHEAT.

So p1uch that has been said with
respect to the delay in marketing
wheat this fall. has been said by
persons evidencing a complete lack
of Informs ION as to actual causes
srte~ipz iIto the situation. that the
entire issue has been sorely Clouded.
The charge that farmers Of the
northwest are holding their wheat
from the market because Of price
dissatisfaction, is largely unfounded
except as such prices relate to the
. grading system. There is no disguis-
ing the fact that farmers generally
feel that the system of grain grad
ing is unjust, and is working hard
ships.
But the fact that Herbert Hoover
! Is making a study of the grades now
gives strength to the hope that the
/ federal government will suspend the
/ grades and resort to a sample mar
g ket
Various circumstances attendant
upon the wheat marketing problem
are not generally understood outside
-xhe wheat producing regions. Even
in Minneapolis, the wheat market
center. there seems a great lack Of
information that should be readily
available to those in the grain bust
ness.
When the grain was threshed.
there was no market. Elevators
would not receive the grain, because
OF the uncertain storage clause, and
farmers were not willing to store
their wheat under the conditions
then prevailing AS a result, the
wheat was stored on the farms. the
farmers marketing other grains in
stead.
At the present time, fall blowing
operations are under way. The
blowing, harvesting of potatoes. fod-
der. etc. is occupying the whole
time of the farmers. They are look
ing forward to production in 1918.
The wheat marketing operations
will be resumed when the ground
freezes, and fall blowing work
is brought to a close.
The situation isn't alarming, nor
one that calls for the agitation that
seems to have seized so many.

LIKES sHIRTsLEEvE DIPLOMACY

The London Daily Telegraph,
which. like The Philadelphia Public
Ledger, has finished the publication
in installments of Ambassador Ger
ards book recounting the history of
his four years in Berlin, seems to
like the qualities that characterize
"shirtsleeve diplomacy" for it
praises them as exhibited in the
volume whose contents it has finish
ed laying before its readers:
The ex-ambassador has a
great deal to tell us, and he tells
1t in very impressive way. His
method is frank from a full
heart. He is not concerned with
the pomp and circumstances Of
old fashioned diplomacy. Indeed,
to secret diplomacy of every
kind, as indicated by the tortu-
GUS negotiations between our
enemy and neutral states, he is
the resolute foe. His object is to
tell the truth as simply and
straighforwardly as he can. For
this very reason, because there
is an entire absence of pretense
about his book and an engaging
openness Of manner. he pro-
duCes on the minds of his read
ers immediate conviction.
What he has set forth reveals that
the German governments attitude
toward the United States was that
of calculating selishness and
supercilious arrogance from the
first. In this respect it confirms the
impression made by the thinner
mann note and by the conduct Of
Count Luxburg in Argentina, and
now more fully borne out by the
revelations of Count Won Bernstorff's
intrigues at Washington as this
nation met Germany's ruthless sea
warfare with the declaration OF
war.
The fact is plain now that official
Germany looked with an evil eye on
the United States as long ago
as the period Of the war with Spain.
Though the Americans as a people
were long reluctant to believe it,
they cannot escape from the percep-
ton Of the truth. In the extensive
inventory Of evidence on the sub
ject must be included a number of
the graphic recitals in Ambassador
Gerard's book.
Permit to use a hall at Indiana
polls was refused when it was learn
ed that Senator La Toilette was to
be one of the speakers on the pro-
gram. The United States senate
chamber is about the only free forum
left for those who assail the govern
ment," says The Minneapolis Tri-
bune. i
Evidently The Tribune failed to
take into consideration the Nonpar-
tisan Producers and Consumers
mass meeting in st. Paul.

A BANKRUPT NATION.

If the end Of the war can be figur-
ed on a financial basis, it is only a
few months off. That it can be cal
culated. and that it will come very
soon, is the prediction of c. w. Bar
ron. an American writer with whose
name the public became familiar
soon after the opening of the strug-
gle by his readable volume entitled
THE AudaCious War"
Mr. Barron makes his deduction
from the fact that Germany is a
bankrupt nation. That opinion has
been voiced before. but it is inter
esting to note the statistics in sup
port of the proposition which Mr..
Barron supplies. He recalls that
mary months ago a group of Ger
man financiers prepared a balance
sheet showing the condition Of the
country at that time and that after
estimating the total of the national
that wealth increases under normal
conditions they announced that a
war debt of twenty billion dollars
was the dead-line which Germany
could not afford to pass. She has
passed it. The new loan of four bill
lions decided upon since the limit of
Indebtedness named above was
reached makes the aggregate of
Germany's present interest bearing
bhrden twenty-four billion dollars.
II the interest rate were only five
per cent this would make the an
nual interest charge one billion two
hundred million dollars besides
which there is a requirement of
seven hundred millions yearly to pay
the expenses of the German imperial
government in time of peace.
Is it wonderful that protests
against the continuance Of the war
have begun to be heard in the reich
stag? Germany is bankrupt Her
foreign business has gone. Her
shipping is depleted. The great
stocks Of raw materials with which
she began the war have been used
ap. German railroads are run down.
German factories must be changed
over before they can again produce
FOR a peace market. The militarists
Who precipitated the conflict in full
confidence that six or eight weeks
would suffice to place an in
vincible German army in command
of Paris witnessed the smashing Of
their plans at the Battle Of the
Marne but were slow to accept that
reverse as significant OF the final
collapse Of their ambitious and inn
moral plans. Later they promised
rstrieval at verdun; but once more
they were thwarted. The Russian
collapse has played into their hands

war; but notwithstanding that, the
German situation is growing more
desperate every day. Air raids on
London have not helped 1t, and sub
marine frightfulness has raised up
new enemies: so also has the
diabolical duplicity and aggressive
immortality of German diplomacy.
The entrance Of America into the
war and the vigor of the American
preparations. together with Ger
many's obvious financial breakdown,
must exercise a SOLDERING influence
on the judgment Of clear headed
Germans, whose demands upon their
government soon may become i'm
perative in favor of the stopping Of
the Audacious War"
