wrong -doings, and in order to settle
the matter Judge Willer ordered them
out of the city.

plainant. Headrick was arrested sever
al weeks ego on a charge of disturbing

MOONSHINE.

When the moon hangs high in October's sky
 And the stars are twinkling and
 bright, And the balmy air is crisp and rare And not a cloud in sight; When the old church clock with its
 tick, tick, tock
 Counts off the midnight hours, And the town is deep in a peaceful
 sleep
 And the world Is sweet with flowers, Oh, who could pray for the dawn of
 day
 And the death of a perfect night ? Oh, who would dare breathe such a
 pray'r
 In the spell of the pale moonlight ? For the moon shines high in the
 mellow sky
 And the stars, like an angels smile, Reflect it's light in the glorious night Only once, only once in a while. And then it seems all the silv'ry
 beams Flood mountain, field and glen, Must to quench the dearth of peace on earth
 And bring goodwill to men.
 
 sphere
 We ask for longer night, And a shorter day, that lovers may Make love in the soft moonlight. Oh the stilly night and the moons white light
 Are Gods great gifts to man, Made to melt away all the cares of day
 And to map out another plan. For what is done meath the broiling sun,
 When merchants deal and trade, Sometimes may be not fair to see, So the cover of night is laid. What though some fraud stalks out abroad
 And sins in the dark, dark night? .? The entire race can't fall from grace In the spell of the pale moonlight In the crooning June when the lovers moon
 Mounts high in the Heavens there. What living man could fail to scan The skies with a hopeful stare? Or, later yet, when the sun has set And the Harvest moon is bright, Where Is the heart that will not start On a rampage of delight? Oh the worlds attune underneath
 the moon
 When the time of life Is right, For we're safe from harm when
 within the charm Of the soothing, soft moonlight.

"A WINNER."

There was one candidate for mayor of his town who faced yesterdays elections without the apprehension usually experienced by men running for office. This fortunate being was none other than our boy mayor of Bristol the Hon. Joseph Dutton. Hav- ing served two terms faithfully and we'll the populace of Bristol re- warded the youthful MT. Dutton with a third term, served on a, silver plat ter. There was no candidate against him. A Democrat of Democrats in town of smouldering Republican sentiment, Joe Dutton went to the barrier assured of winning, even in a walk. With such political strength as this it will not be surprising to see the Mayor of Bristol going out for greater laurels His brow is broad enough to hold them. His smile is en- ticing enough to attract them. His friends, legion as they are, should find no difficulty in helping him win them Entered in any political race this is one starter we would not fear to play for a winner.

LA TOILETTE.
''Teacher of Disloyalty and SeditiOn.'
(NeW York TimeS).

(NeW York TimeS).
 The Public Safety Commission of Minnesota did not exaggerate the gravity of the offense of Robert M. La Toilette in it's petition to the United States senate which was presented to that body of MT. Kellogg of Minnesota and referred to the committee on privileges and elections. The petition is moderate in its language and does not overstep the bounds of truth. The expulsion of MT. La Toilette from the senate is urged because he is "a teacher of disloyalty and sedition, giving aid and comfort to our ene- mics, and hindering the government in the conduct of the war; The Minnesota commission, fitly repre- senting the loyal element of that state, which comprises a vast ma jority of it's citizens. has a special grievance against La Toilette. Invit- ed to speak in St. Paul at confer ence of producers and consumers to consider the high cost of living, he de- ltvered a speech which, it is said, has already served to create Urea sonable sentiment In the state" But the loyal citizens of every state in the Union have the same grievance against La
 
 United States senate are justly grieved because he misrepresents them in his disloyal utterances. Ho has helped to spread abroad the ut- terly false idea that the people, or some considerable part of the people, of this country do not support the administration in it's prosecution of the war. He has worked deliberately and with avowed purpose, ito hinder the government in it's conduct of the war"
 Expulsion of this disloyal and dan gerous member would be creditable to the senate. To do so it would be necessary to have an impeachment trial. But the result could only be wholesome. It would have the ap- proval of the whole country De- prived of his position as senator. the privileges of which he has so shame fully abused, La Toilette could no longer be dangerous. But as long as he remains in that body his influence throughout the country and beyond it's limits will be dangerous and his presence a dishonor to the senate. He deserves expulsion.

 A bake was arranged for at Noun tain Grove, and although 1t was got ten up especially for his benefit he knew nothing about it being for him. About 75 of his friends were present and shortly after reaching the Grove, the young soldier, who may be in France soon, was presented with a travelling kit and soldiers wrist watch. Foreman H. G.

AN ADOBE WALL FOR SENATORS.

Judge Walter R. Burns of the United States District court sitting at Houston, Texas. yesterday read his charge to the Grand Jury at the be- ginning of the October term. Or dinarily Judge Burns charge would be of little interest to Connecticut, but yesterday he departed from the ordinary form. After calling by name Senators Stone of Missouri, Hardwick of Georgia. Vardaman of Mississippi, Gore of Oklahoma. Gron- ma of North Dakota, and LaFollette of Wisconsin, Judge Burns said:
 "If I had a wish I would that you men had Jurisdiction to return bills of indictment against theese men. They ought to be tried promptly and fairly. and I believe this court could administer the law fairly: but [ have a conviction as strong as life that this country should stand them up against an adobe wall tomorrow and give them what they deserve
 In way, it is too bad the Grand Jury at Houston has 70 jurisdiction in the matter. There are enough adobe walls in the immediate vicinity there to serve the purpose. There are, of course, other Grand Juries sitting in other states the members of which feel the same way about the matter. This little group of what President Wilson was pleased to call "wilful men, should be taken out and sum- marily punished. In lieu of the adobe wall at Washin gton and a Grand Jury with the proper Jurisdiction ex- pulsion from the United States Sem ate should be the penalty Judge Burns has the right idea,

MEETS LOAN STAFF.
Secretary MoAdoo Explains Something About New Liberty Loan to Salesmen.


 Indianapolis, Oct. 2.-Wm. G. Me- Adoo, secretary of the treasury, ar rived today in his special making tour in behalf of the second Liberty loan. After a breakfast given in his honor by former Vice President Fair banks, Secretary McAdoo met the loan staff of Indiana and bond sales men and explained to them how the money obtained through the bonds will be issued.
 When war comes to a nation, the first essential is money" said Secre- tary McAdoo in his talk to the Liberty loan workers. We must keep our soldiers and sailors armed and equip ped with the best that money can buy and American skill devise. We must constantly provide them with necessary clothing and food; we must pay their wages; we must, as hu- mane nation, support their dependent families while they are risking and giving their very lives for us: we must supply them with reasonable amount of life insurance. We destroy their insurability and conscript almost the whole of their earning power when we draft them and send them to the front. We can do not less than reimburse their destroyed insurabil- ity and their diminished earning power"

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

To prevent social activities and ath- letics from hindering the school work of pupils, Principal L. P. Slade has issued an order that in the future, no one will be allowed to hold more than two positions of importance in any clubs or branches of athletics. Those who already hold more than two of these positions will not be eligible for senior class presidency.
 The Commercial club held a spe- cial meeting this afternoon in room 314. The regular meeting will prob ably be held tomorrow evening.
 The Aloha club met yesterday after noon in the gymnasium, and elected the following officers: President, Nina Butler; vice president, Eunice Hum phrey; secretary, Julie Grove; treas urer, Beatrice Reynal.
 The Board of Publication held its first meeting yesterday afternoon in the Vocational building. The boards in the past years have had great deal of difficulty in getting the school annuals out in time for class might but this years board has started earlier with the hope of getting the books out in time. Plans are Under way for the establishment of a school magazine to be issued monthly. The board of publication, assisted by Pro- lessor Dillingham;, instructor of Eng fish, will be in charge of the periodt- cal. The plan of having magazine has been under consideration for some time, but as previous boards have not been elected until late in the year, nothing in this line was ac- complished. The periodical which will be called the Bee, will contain several departments, such as editor ials, news, clubs, athletics, social ac- tivities, etc. In addition to these the student body will submit stories, poems and drawings. When the first issue will be given out is not known, but it will probably be in about two months. The trade depart ment will print the magazine.
 Arrangements are being made for a football game between the local high and Springfield high. to be played in Sprinfield Saturday. This will be the first game for the regu- lars.

No Foreign Junket.
(New York Sum-

(NeW 4Ork sum-
 If President Wilson in opposing the congressional junket to Europe means to put his seal of disapproval upon the ancient institution of junketing he strikes deep at one of the most enjoyable and least profitable means of spending public money ever in- vented. He will upset some shining precedents and arouse the indignation of travel-loving public servants and their families, their Sisters, cousins and aunts," without whom no junket is really ever complete.
 The British invitation is to visit England and the war fronts in Fland- CTS and France. Here is an excursion, "personally conducted" sea passage free and expenses all paid, such as MT. Cook at his best could not offer. The "royal' junket to the Philippines, Canal Zone for congressman, sena- tors, representatives, committeeman or whomsoever. could scarcely have offered anything so interesting. Little wonder the presidents disapproval "caused disappointment to the com- mittee, who were in favor of accept ing.'
 The members who are thus heart lessly deprived of the the excursion will have their revenge. The presi- dent and the rest of the world will be forced to get on as best they can without the information on the con- duct of the war which the junketers would have gathered and brought back.

America Over All. (Boston Herald).

l Over all the world in commerce, l America has attained a supremacy l that benefits the buyers no less than 1 the seller Americas bountiful ex- 1 ports of produce and manufactures enabled the European powers with whom we are now allied against Ger man militarism to carry on the fight ! much more effectively than they could have done without those supplies. France, Britain, Belgium and Italy would have been in sore straits if Americas vast and varied market had not been kept open to them. We take no credit for meeting their needs. It was not altruism- except for Bel gium-but business. Yet there was friendliness at the heart of 1t; and we are as glad that we were able to help as we are gratif1ed that our exports have rapidly grown to enormo ous pro-
 portions.
 A particularly pleasing feature of
 our export trade during the last three
 years is the ever-increasing demand
 for our manufa cures. It is not in
 our raw materials, not in simple grain
 from the fields or metal from the mines that the larger increases have taken place. The great and continu- ing demands are for our manufac- tured and partly manufactured goods. In 1914 such goods formed 59 per
 cent of our total exports. Accord
 ing to a statement issued by the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com merce in the fiscal year 1917 such ex- ports reached 7S per cent.
 Still, the percentages do not tell all. They may even convey a wrong impression. For example, we do not get the true meaning of this-that the exports of partly or wholly manufac- tured foodstuffs were F per cent of the total exports of 1914 and 12 per cent. in 1917-Unless we take the values into account, recolecting that in the fiscal year 1917 our export to- tai rose above $6,OOO, O,O0O,00O. While the percentage of foodstuffs decreased one-half, the value increased from S293,218,336 in 1914 to $739O37884 in 1917. Then glance at the manu- factures. Those for further use in manufacturing were exported in 1914 to the value of $374, 74,224,21O; in 1917 the value was $1,191, ,787,957. Even more remarkable, and more impor- tant, is the quadrupltng of the value of exported manufactures ready for consumption. In 1914 they were valued at $724,90S,00O in 1917 their worth was s2,943, ,923,212. In these figures we may read how industrial America prospers. Through her fac tories she has become supreme in the great markets. She should seriously prepare to retain them.
