LaFOLLETTE'S EXPULSION.

The expulsion or Robert NJ. La
Toilette from the senate of the United
States is becoming more and more
insistent.
1t is safe to say that the demand
is not coming from the anarchists of
the country: nor from the 1. w. WIS
nor from the socialists; nor from the
slackers; nor from the pacifists; nor
from the hyphenates: nor from the
pro-German propagandists.
This insistent demand comes from
those whose loyalty to the institu
tions of the country is undoubted {:
whose fidelity to the flag is proven !;
whose patriotism is beyond cavil
The expulsion of LaFOllette comes
from those through whose veins the
blood throbs with patriotic ardor like
Roosevelt in the north. and Tom Hef-
lin in the south
In the hour of danger none but the
brave and true should be entrusted
with place and power.
Mr.. LaFollete, his tribe and kind,
| should not wait upon the order of go
ing, but should go at once.
If they can not take a hint, they
should be given something stronger
and with no elaborate ceremony.

WHERE Mr.. ROOSEVELT
WRONG.

I'VE did not go to war to make
democracy SAFE" said Mr.. Roosevelt
at Johnstown, land we did go to war
because we had a special grievance"
1t is true that we had a special
GRIEVANCE but on the main issue we
went to war to make democracy safe,
because otherwise we ourselves could
not be safe.
Let us suppose that Germany Of
fered to redress our special grew
ance"-to abandon ruthless subma-
rine warfare. to make full reparation
for all the injuries done us to apollo
gize for the plost and conspiracies
against the safety and security of the
United States and to give pledges for
irreproachable conduct in the future.
Would Mr. Roosevelt favor making
a separate peace and abandoning
France and Great Britain? Certainly
not. Nor would any other intelligent
and patriotic American.
There can be no safety for the
United States against German aggres-
sion except as there is safety for the
British. the French, the Indians. the
Belgians. the Russians, and for every
other people engaged in the struggle
against Prussianism. The security of
every one of these democratic peoples
depends upon the security of all,
which is what the president meant
when he said 1--WE must make the
world safe for democracy"
Mr.. Roosevelt is wrong if he thinks
that the United States is pouring out
Its blood and its treasure merely to
redress "a special grievance. World.

THE PRIVATE SOLDIER THE REAL
HERO.

Though wearing no bars, nor orna-
mented with appaulettes, and his
name rarely mentioned in the public
prints, it is the private soldier who
is the real hero of all wars.
1t is the private soldier who bears
the heat and burden of the day. Fac
ing shot and shell it is the private sol
der who storms the heights and car
ries the flag to victory.
Along these lines the Albany (Ga)
Herald discourses interestingly as
follows:
SIN the making of al army the pro-
cess is a good deal like that which a
contractor employs in building a
house
1.-THE most important thing about a
house is its foundation. The strength
of it's walls and the integrity of it's
roof are dependent upon that which
supports the whole structure
And no other part of the building
can go up till the foundation is Sc
curely laid 1t must come first.
"The foundation of an army is the
private soldier. Officers there must
be-generals, majors, captains, lieu
tenants, sergeants and corporals-but
the strength of an army is in the men
who fight.
''The skill of those who lead and di-
rect is of very great Importance. To
the value Of. the serv-
ices of these would be to ignore the
lessons of wars and all that common
sense teaches.
But all that makes an army eff
Gent rests upon the shoulders of the
men who bear no titles They are
the foundation stones, and upon their
strength depends the integrity of all
they support. The reputation of gen.
erals, the fame of strategists, the re.
nown of those with a genius for or
ganization-all will crumble if the
men who hold the trench or leap the
enemy's breastworks prove not to be
made of that stern stuff which wav.
ers not in the face of deadly peril.
Eve hear much of generals these
days. General So-and-So' has taken
an important position. General Some
body Else has stormed a certain
height an dcaptured a hundred pieces
Of artillery. 1t all sounds very fine, |
and new pictures of the successful
leader appear in the newspapers and
"But it was those long lines of pri- |
vate soldiers. whose pictures do not
get into the papers, that swept the
height and took the important posi-
tions-took it at heavy cost, as the
ong casualty list shows.
at is the private soldier who makes
he army He is the strength. It's
might is in the power of his sinewy
body. the keenness of his eye and the
steadines of his nerve. He bears the
Orunt of the fight does the drudgery
Of trench and camp. tolls and fights
and sheds his blood as an inconspicu-
ous unit in a great machine, and in
the doing thereof places his country

lier who wins them"
