Men of REASONABLE Purpose.
[From the New York Times, Dem,

We might we'll feel it to be unneces-
sary, We might say that it would do vio-
lence to every impulse of patriotism and
of just Indignation, to measure words in
denouncing the conduct of Stone, La
Toilette, Cummings, Gronna, Norris,
Vardarnan. Works, and others of that
small number of senators who persisted
in their opposition until the constitution
al limit of the session was reached
Treason in the legal sense of the word
cannot be charged against them, for we
are not at war. But we are in the shadow
of the war. Should it come, the odium
of reasonable purpose and achievement
Will rest upon their names forevermore
There is no need to discriminate between
motives. An impenetrable, obstinate,
blinded ank, irrevocably given over to
tn peace of coWardice, prompted / y the
vanity of a small mind, or immovable in
his mslstence on congressional preroga-
tives, may betray his country as danger
ously and as cuIpably as the falsehearted
creature who consciously and with set
purpose OF treason promotes the enemy
interest,

"a Chastity Dictatorship.

from the New York World, Dem.
At a time when war is at our door,
when sedition under DISCUSSES innumer-
able is visible in all parts of the country
and when foreign intrigue is discovered
on every hand and unb ushingly admitted,
how long are we to maintain in one
House of Congress chastity dictatorship
by which one false or malicious senator
may be able to thwart the popular will?
If twelve men in Senate of ninety-six
can defeat legitimate measures of de-
fence, even one man in grave emer-
gency might traitorously obstruct ap-
preparations for the army and navy. and
in other ways paralyze every energy of
the republic.

Close Up; Forward
From the New York Sun, I

The fhbusters in the Senate do not rep
resent the American people. But strenu-
GUS and organized efforts are already un-
der way TO convince the world that they
do. Germany will be melted and en-
couraged to new murderous activities
by the announcement that the United
States has surrendered without mounting
a gun. 1t must be the part of true
Americans everywhere to controvert this
belief by organizing all the forces of pub
lie opinion in the work of regulating the
copperheads and proclaiming the national
purpose to defend the national honor.
The traitors have dropped out. Let
all true men close up and advance.
