His Speech in St. Paul That Has Since Called for His Expulsion
 From the Senate

The speech which has brought a demand for thc expulsion of scna- tor Robert La Toilette, of Wisconsin. from congress was delivered before thc Non-Partisan Club at st Paul September 20.

 Because you stood up and barred your heads @ few moments ago when America was sung you have forgot ten the sacrifices that were mado for your liberty in 177G and 1861, and some of you are tostifying to a de- votion you do not feel"
 The part Of Che senator's speech which brought down upon him tho wrath of tho press and big business of Che land was when he assailcd Che men who were raking in war profits while refusing Co pay a just share toward the expenses of Che war. He said:
 "Who ls abrocd crying In the loudcst tones? Business which is making the money. The new pro- iccts of patriotism are masQucrad- ing in the livery of heaven while you are serving tho devil
 "I hovo just como from Washing ton. where. with % little handful Of men. | have been waging a fight de- manding that taxation should be- laid according Co ability to pay. Il was not In favor of beginning this war. We had no grievance. The German government intorfcrcd with our rights Co travel on tho high seas -as passengers on British munition ships.
 "On these grievances which were insignificant considering the rights and consequences involved, we went Co war. We had right Co ship munitions but for one was not in favor of riding"
 Cries of "Yeuow" stopped the senator.
 Any man who says that in an audience like this is yellow him self" shouted the senator. "I can take care Of any man who interrupts men 1T you give me Che chance"
 He had hardly got started again when some ono called out, What of the LusItauia2" and thc din was on again. The disorder was finally qucled and tho senator made a few more remarks and sat down.

Within a short timo tho board will take over for government use every American vessel available for overseas service.
 The frcighters Valdez and Juneau of tho Alaska Steamship Company. which arc available for war service for example. arc carriers Of approXi- matoly 3.2OO doadweight tons, and ut $5.75 a ton cargo capacity would cost the government S1S,4OO a month or S22O.SOO year.

While in the slums he be- comes mixed up with officers who are attempting to arrest girl on a trumped up charge. What results is a pretty romance with many in- teresting developments.

SIDE TALKS
Her Idea of Unselfishness
BY RUTH CAMERON

A woman told me the other day that she was tired of being unselfish because "it doesn't pay"
 A rather inconsistent statement, wasn't it?
 It set me to thinking about how many kinds of unselfshness there are besides the real, simon pure, ruby rare article.
 In the first place there's that bar gaining unselfshness (pardon my abuse of the noble word) that this woman so aptly illustrated. Every now and then one hears people de- clare that they are through doing things for others because they find that others won't do as much for them And yet if you had ventured to question if the things they were doing for others were unselfish since they were done in the hope of a re- turn they would surely have been hopping mad.
 And then there's the irritable un- seldshness that says to itself all the time: How unselfsh I am. I don't believe many people would be so un- selfish.'
 Such An Ugly Way to Live. And then there's the irritable un- self1shness that can never "renounce without being embittered." I caught myself at that the other day. I was sending away an expensive present. It was something I had long wanted

 Robert Savarin unconsciously add ed fuel to the flame.
 I am sure Mrs. Graham will take the best of care of me- he said. "and l am very glad of the opportunity to have an undisturbed talk with her. There are many things about which l wish to ask her advice.'
 Instinctively l knew that the many things pertaining to Lillian, that probably ] should hear the other half of the romantic story told me by Lillian, of the friendship which had once existed between them.
 But neither Dicky nor Lillian could possibly know the subject about which MT. Savarin was to talk to me, and it was curious and amusing- to see the looks in their faces as they turned them toward us. was not surprised to see a resent ful, angry look in Dicky's eyes. I have had too many experiences with his absolutely unreasoning, irritating jealousy of me not to recognize the premonitory symptoms.
 But what was my amazement to see distinct resentment in the eyes of Lillian Underwood as they rested upon me.
 I stif1ed a laugh that was half a sob. This new turn of things was tragically ludicrous. Without being aware of 1t herself, Lillian Under wood was jealous of Robert Savarin' $ friendship for me!

 And of course there's the nervous, fussy unselfishness that gives so of ficiousy that it makes the recipient uncomfortable. For instance the hostess who is continually at you with Now isn't there something I can do for you?" 1T am so afraid you aren't comforta ble," etc., etc.
 Comeback Unselfishness.
 And then there's what I call the comeback unselfishness," that is that of the giver who gives over lavishly of time and strength and then holds 1t up against you that he Cor more likely she) Is overtired, and relieves her weary nerves by being irritable to you and making you feel to blame.
 I sometimes think I prefer the placid, selfish, happy people to this variety.
 True unselfishness is the most beautiful thing in the world. And correspondingly rare. It is found oftenest in mothers, maiden aunts and once in a lifetime in 8 friend
 And one ounce of 1t Is worth a thousand pounds of the imitation variety.
