Will La Toilette Be Tried?

D EPORTS from Washington indicate that
~ there is no inclination on the part Of
the Senate to act upon the petitions urging
the expulsion Of Senator Robert M. La Fol
lette on the ground Of disloyalty to his coun-
try. These reports are no doubt founded
upon fact. The Senate is close corpora
ton. It's members may fight desperately
among themselves, but they often fight as
desperately in behalf of each other when an
issue is raised.
We recall the stubborn contest over the
right Of Senator Lorimer, Of Illinois, to hold
his seat in the face of conclusive evidence
that it had been gained by fraud Two COM
mittees were required to investigate the
| charges against him. and both of them by
majority action held him blameless Not
withstanding this circumstance, the Senate
finally unseated Lormer, repudiating the
findings of its own committee. But this &C.
ton was taken in direct response to public
opinion. The people became firmly convinced
that Lorimer was corruptonst and that his
presence in the highest deliberative body in
the land was an indefensible thing This
conviction made itself felt from end to end
OF the country, and the pressure became too
great for the Senate to resist The result
was the ousting Of this man and the purging
OF our public life OF a personality which had
seemed to disgrace 1t. This same public
opinion may compel the Senate to act In the
La Toilette case. Senators at this time may
not feel disposed to give attention to the
charges which have been laid before them
They may attribute these charges to pa
triotic hysteria or to the passion of the hour.
And these statesmen pride themselves upon
their obstinacy in the face of passion The
House may be swept off its feet. they admit,
but tho Senate never.
But We shall see. The demand that our
legislators, above all other citizens, be loyal
to their country in time Of war, is not a
mere whim. 1t is not the outburst of
small group OF men in Minnesota or another
small group Of bankers in Atlantic City. It
proceeds from the great body of the Ameri-
can people. These people would not con-
sciously do injustice to Senator La Toilette
but little by little they arriving at the
conclusion that he does not represent them
! in the Senate and representative who fails
TO represent has no place in our system OF
government.

The country has been warned that the
shortage Of wool and the heavy government
demand for WOODEN goods with which TO out
mt It's soldiers means higher prices for
wooden clothing than in the past With the
view OF holding down prices much as pos
sible, government authorities are endeavor-
ing to prevail upon the makers OF wooden
goods and clothing TO use much larger pro-
portion of cotton i'll their product than here
tofore. The manufacturers no doubt. will
be perfectly willing to meet the government
request, provided the public is like-minded
and will take readily to the mixed output OF
their factories. Statistics as to the available
supply OF wool emphasize the Importance OF
doing this. otherwise prices are certain to
climb skyward. Although the ability OF the
American people to buy what they want is
beyond questioning. the needs OF our allies
makes 1t patriotic duty for us to restrict
our wants as much as possible that the lat
