"a Hun Within Our Gates"
I'VE are hers to stand against, the
against the men who are the worst
foes of u nation at this time, men
sof the stamp of Senator LaFollette.
Tie other day, I saw how in a speech

ally by implication, condoned the
brutal German murders Of u women
and children or the high seas saying,
forsooth, or implying, that it was the
munition makers that had gotten our

sit0nia, I read how in the Queenstown
ltorgue hundreds OF dead women lay
awaiting Identification, holding In
their arms the babies they had tried
to saye. And q senator Of the United
States ~condones the action of the in.
human brntes who were guilty of that
murder. He endeavors to distract at

"Most Sinister Foe to Democracy"
e" always have and always shall
fight for democracy and I wish to say
that in all this country the most sin
Is Senator La Toilette, who seeks to
distract our attention from the great
work Of fighting. for human freedom
and for the rights of our own land by
actions which. can only have n effect
II successful. actions in the interest of
the hrutalized, militarized" bureaucracy
Of the German Hbhenzollerns.
iAs. "a Causes for Shame.".
ex-senator .LAs Toilette ID aanot a new
type. We had. this type IN the civil
war, the copperheads. They, used all
the fine words that their modern REP.
re~Sentatives use now. They called
themselves the Sons Of Liberty and
used the same arguments that La Fol-
lette and the peopfei.of hfs stamp, the
congressman, the editors and the sham
philanthropists make now. One Of the
leaders of the copperheads Abraham
Lincoln sent to the hostile lines. T am
sorry, to say that l. suppose 1t is i'm
possible TO send Senator La Toilette
where he belongs, but 1 wish we could
make him a gift. to the kaiser for use
in the reichstag. There he would be
in entirely appropriate surroundings.
Whereas. in the. enate he ID a cause
for shame and humiliation for every
worthy American.
Every Man Should Fight.
Our task Is to bend every energy
we have to the winning Of the war
Let every mai Of fighting age who ID
permitted to &c into the fighting forces
fight. II he is a mar Of fighting age
l don't want to see him in the Red
Cross or the Y. M. G. A. at this time,
Leave that work to the women and
the old men..aWe must produce all
fthe food we can, subscribe to the
bonds, back up the Red Cross. but re-
member that IL victory is really TO
come 1t must colne through the deeds
OF the mon who fight. You can not
win respect for this country by making
this q dollar war, q potato var, q war
where we pay some one else to Al t
for US. Uncle Sam. can afford 10 trust
only to his own strength. That means
that he muet prepare his strength in
advance II he is to make It count to
advantage in the day Of trial.
