IA FoLLETTE's FmIBUsTER

Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin,
leading a handful of Senators, sue
ceeded in preventing the armed neu-
trality bill from coming to a vote
before the s%ixty-fourth session OF
Congress expired by Limitation. As
a result, a cry of indignation has gone
up over the country and since that
time the Badger statesman has been
hanged in efigy at a dozen OF more
different points in the country.
From the fact that La Toilette was
not permitted to deliver his carefully
prepared speech in the Senate during
its closing hours it appears that he
is not taken very seriously by the
members of that body. AS a matter
of fact, he is his W greatest adj
mirer. His conduct in this crisis may
be ascribed in a great measure to his
representing a constituency in which
the pro-German vote holds the bal
ance of power.
Measures are being taken to amend
the rules of the Senate to abolish IN
limited debate. but there are grave
doubts as to the wisdom of this
change. In an overwhelmingly parti-
san Senate this is the only effective
weapon a minority possesses to save
the country from vicious legislation.

USUAL DEMOCRATIC
ANSWER

Members of the Federal Reserve
board say that Representative Lind
bergh's proposal to impeach them is
too ridiculous to comment upon"
This is by way of becoming a form
ula in the Treasury Department,
where Secretary McAddo himself set
the style more than a year ago when
ex-senator Bourne demonstrated the
blue-sky method of Treasury book
keeping which the secretary had just
installed. John Shelton Williams, too,
used similar language when some
phase of the Riggs bank as was
called to his attention by a reporter.
1t is handy to have a few catch-words
of this sort-and no branch of the
administration, from the White House
down, has been found lacking in this
particular.

STANDARD OIL co. WOULD

The defendant, who for seventeen

GRABBING AMERICAN


Imports of cotton manufactures for
the calendar year 1916 totaled $685.
751,0 compared with $42. 172,0 900 the
year before. In 1913 Germany Sent
US about $4,000, 900 worth of cotton
goods, and during three months of
that year they paid the low rates of
duty carried in the Wilson-Underwood
law. In 1914, five months of which
were affected seriously by the war,
our total imports of these goods from
Germany amounted to $1,000, 900.
German cotton goods imports were
cut off greatly during 1915, and were
altogether cut off during 1916, while
imports from Switzerland and France
suffered because of war conditions.
The inference to be deduced from this
is that Great Britain is capturing the
bulk of the export trade in cotton
goods to the United States, and what
is more she is going to fight to hold
it after the war, while the other coun-
tries will tussle for a certain share
of it. A market possessing only the
low barriers of a Democratic tariff is
worth striving for. This strife will
call for cutthroat competition, with
the chances all in favor of the Ameri-
can manufacturer having his jugular
severed. Meanwhile he is advised by
the Democratic administration to for
get the domestic market and bestir
himself to capture the markets of
South America. That is a good deal
like sending a man out to earn his
daily bread without giving him the
comfort OF a decent breakfast.

SHOULD BECOME A LAW

Senator Buol has introduced a bill
providing that the session laws be
printed by the State printer and 1000
copies SEN to each newspaper of the
State for distribution to their sub
scribers. the two Reno dailies. how
ever, to receive 5000 copies each. As
full compensation the newspapers are
to receive five cents per copy for all
such papers circulated. The bill car
ries an appropriation of $1,000.
In a recent issue the Silver State
proposed that the session laws be
printed and that the sum of $4,000 be
appropriated, to be divided equally
among the newspapers of the State.
Under the terms of Senator Buol's
bill the newspapers will receive $50
each, with the laws furnished free.
Under the Silver States proposition
they would receive about s125 each
and would be obliged to furnish the
laws at their own expense. The net
sum to the newspapers would be
about the same under either plan.
1t is highly important hat the full
est publicity be given the laws passed
by the Legislature, and the best means
to accomplish this end is through the
newspapers. The bill should by all
means be enacted into a law.
