 IS IN PROGRESS

Washington, Oct. 10.-A formal preliminary inquiry into the al-
 legged disloyal speech of Senator La
 Toilette, of Wisconsin, made before the Nonpartisan league at St..
 Paul, Minn., some three weeks ago, was ordered last Friday by the senate privileges and elections committee.
 Appointment of a subcommittee of five members was directed with authority limited first to in- Quire into the correctness of the report of Senator La Follette's speech, and second into the cor restness of his statements made therein.
 The limited scope of the in Quiry was regarded as temporary action upon the numerous petitions presented to the senate for the Wis consin senator's expulsion. The sub committee headed by Senator Pom creme, of Ohio, waS ordered to re- port at the December session of con- gress.
 The senate committee took up petitions charging Senator Stone, of Missouri, chairman of the sen ate foreign relations committee, with disloyal statements and actsr and decided that the charges made did not warrant any investigation of the Missouri senator
 The subcommittee expected to be- gin its inquiry this week.
 Senator Pomerene made it plain that the sub-committee's authority is limited solely to the St. Paul speech and does not extend to any other actions or charges against the Wisconsin senator
 A letter from Senator Stone de- nouncing imputations and reflec- tions in the petitions and other com on file was presented to the committee and made the basis for its action as to him. Senator Stone offered to appear before the but it was held that in was unwarranted and also that:
 The record discloses that though Senator Stone opposed the declara- tion of war, he has since it was voted for all such meas ures considered by the senate on which a record vote was taken"
 The subcommittee also proposes to call William J. Bryan to Ques- tion him on Senator La Follette'S statement that MT. Bryan several times urged President Wilson to prevent the sailing of the Lusitania because it was alleged an ammuni- tion cargo was aboard.
 Senator La Follette's proposed speech caused Senate leaders to de- fer action on the formal resolution for adjournment of congress at 3 p. m., Saturday, so as to insure an for other senators to make 8 reply.
 A few more petitions demanding MT. La Follette's expulsion were presented to the senate last Friday, and a great many more have been received each day since then.

Bull With a Record.

James F. Lambert, the West Am
we'll township farmer and milkman,
has recently purchased from the
Pabst Stock Farm, at Oconomowoc
Wis, a fine young bull that has a
strong list of records back of his
pedigree. His sire was Korndyke
Segis Johanna, and he is out of a
heifer by Maplecrest King DeKol,
whose pedigree shows large yearly
records, including $40 lbs. of milk
in seven days, with 1915 lbs. of but
ter in the same period, and butter
fat percentage of 4.94.
The half brother of this young
ster" purchased by Mr.. Lambert
sold for $1,000; the sire for S12,-
500, and the grandsire for $25, 900,
some prices even in these days of
high cost of living. 1t was with a
view to increasing the quality of
stock that this valuable progeny was
added to the Lambert farm.

No Press Censorship.

If the United States should have
a war with any country, there is
one thing that the military authori-
ties must get out of their heads,
and at once. There shall be no
censorship of the press or of the
mails. 1t has never been done in
this country, except the censorship
established by the late General Funs-
ton in the Mexican trouble last sum-
mer, and that was a criminal act.
The censorships in Europe have
not shortened the war single day,
nor mitigated its horrors, but have
added immeasureably to both. There
would be peace within a month in
Europe if the newspapers and the
people were allowed to tell the truth
about the war, and it is only because
the military authorities are crazed
with blood-lust that they do not
want the truth told.
No newspaper ever told half the
horrors of war, and no newspaper
story ever fnterfered with the work
of its country's army, even though
