Modesty has prevented q newspaper
campaign: modesty has prevented
great agitation to stamp out tho black
plague. So serious 10 the menace now
that newspapers feel modesty must be
brushed aside and the whole menace
laid bare before the public gaze. ST.
Iencs has not been golden In the mat
ter Of the black plague. Disease haa
been growing and spreading. Physi-
clans and medical journals have had 9
lot to say. but discussion. generally
speaking. has been in whispers. The
social diseases have been something to
not speak about out loud.
Just now there II much talk about
the army being infected. Perhaps II Is
but the army does not get social dis
eases alone in the army, they are con.
tracted in civil life. We must not look
alone to the army. but to civil lie II We
are to stamp out the greatest evil thai

are contagious, they spread among tht

The Shelby County Republican adj
vises 1.-THE better thing to do would be
for the president to weed the inaom-
petents out Of his cabinet and. the de-
partments, putting clean, strong re-
publicans in their stead, and to go thru
the war period with a coalition govern
ment. The present rs no time for
display OF craftsmanship unless the ad-
ministration insists upon it."
"There are two ways in which people
can meet the needs Of the hour, In
these days that call for the best that
we have" says the Davenport Demo

One recent little malicious rumor
was to the effect that Mr.. Hoover. on
visit to Spokane. had attended 81
plate banquet. This proves to be an
accurate report with the exception Of a
few trifiing details. The banquet did
not cost 81 a plate. there was no ban
quet. and Mr.. Hoover never yet has
been in Spokane. Otherwise the story
Is all right.-Providence Bulletin.

MAKING A CONVENIENCE OF LAW

| MAKING A CONVENIENCE OF LAW
[Sioux City Tribune.l
Attorney General Owen, Of Wiscon.
sin, has given an opinion that Cover.
nor Phillip can not be compelled by law
to call a special election to d1ll the sem
atorial vacancy in that state, This
opinion savors entirely too much OF q
convenient vehicle for the state politi-
cal machine, and is palpably unsound
Unless the state legislature grants the
governor permission to make an APP
pointment the requirement for q special
election Is Just as plain as any pro-
vision OF law can be. The amendment
to the federal constitution dealing with
direct election OF United States sena-
tors (Article xVdI.) says:
When vacancies happen In the
representation of any state In the
Senate, the executive authority in
such state shall issue writs Of cleo
ton to FIJI such vacancies: pro-
vided, that the legislature of any
state may empower the executive
thereof to make temporary APP
uointment until the people fill va
cancy by election as the legisla-
ture may direct
The Wisconsin attorney general
holds that neither Of the three co-or-
can control or compel action by the
other, thus putting the governor above
and beyond an order from the legisla-
ture or the state supreme court This
ruling is entirely too broad even as to
state affairs and ridiculous in the as
sumption that any branch OF state
government can ignore mandatory pro-
visions OF the federal constitution.
II the legislature does not grant the
appointing power the plain provision in
the federal constitution for an cleo
ton applies. Apparently Governor Phil
lip is taking advantage Of the fact that
no time limit is Axed. In the federal
constitutional amendment, but move
ment is under way to ask federal
court mandamus and make him act,
one way or the other.
Lines are being drawn in Wisconsin
for an uncompromising showdown on
the question OF national loyalty, and
the aggressive loyalists OF that state
are insisting on the right to have the
test Applleu wlliOuI OSAcA0h0 W SSss'
plications. They contend there 10 no
nti-AmerIcan majority there and are
willing to prove It. II an election IL
called there will be no division on or
binary party lines Tho issue will be
100 per cent Americanism vs.. pro-Ger-
manism. and every voter IN the state
viii! be smoked out on that issue At
the present time the Wisconsin Loyal
ty league claims a membership OF 1oo,-
90 ana is growing. This league Is
ready and anxious to promote clear
cut fight against seditton and pacinsm
in all forms. including any degree OF
adhe rence to LAFollette.
With the loyalists Of Wisconsin IN
that mood, It is little wonder that they
are chaainR under Governor Phillips
tactics. They want . chance to fumi.
Kate the state, to clear It OF q bad
nane. and they ought 70 have the
chance. Their spirit portends success.

Well get pulled for indecent exposur
Should assistance come too late.

And some blacking for our shoes.

That we need little money
And would like to have our fee.

With its pathetic plea,

That you demand fac,
I always thought that lawyers
Would do what they agreed,
And stand by all their contracts
Fen tn ,ugh in direst need.
Why you demand twelve fifty,
l wholly fail tolsee,
When you contracted clearly
For a contingent fee.
You surely will remember
You we're to have no fee,
Unless you were so sstute
The horse cane 3 back to me.
All my costs and witness fees
Defendant sure would pay,
And with no cent expended
The horse would haul my hay.
The other fellows worthless,
What else did you expect?
From him the sheriff declares
No cost can he collect.
The horse you brought the suit for
| hate to say was lost
The sheriff took his process
And sold him for the cost
I'm sorry for your butcher
And for your grocer too
But I'll pay no lawyers fee
TO blokes the like of you,
If you're 700 proud for beggars
Aud lack the nerve to steal,
Don't think that by such hold ups
You'll get little meal.
no wonder your not thrifty
and fear your pants to scan.
When you will tlke twelve fifty
On the insurance plan.
I've hired another lawyer,
On a contingent fee,
To law you II you sue me,
And beat you too, by geel
