results are: =
.First-Sale of the wool clip in the
spring from their sheep: has been
more than sufficient to pay for the
winters keep, incidental expenses of
the sheep, interest on sheep building,
etc.
Second-They report that they can
feed six sheep for the cost of one
cow and their. cash returns come at
less expense as it is all obtained at
one time. :.
Third-That brushy or cut-over
lands they have found the sheep OF
a great deal of assistance in clearing
out brush, and in fields to have fer
tilted them, thereby increasing their
fertility; and that waste grasses,
wheat, ETC., untouched by other cat
tie are cut down and kept under con-
troll by the sheep; that the ratio of
profit to be obtained on the invest
ment is the ratio of their lamb crop
which would not be less than 100
per cent and with reasonable good
luck should be from 100 70 125 per
cent"

Washington, Oct. 6.-Sena.
tor LaFollette in a spectacular
speech on the floor of the Sen.
ate today detied those who
charge him with sedition and
treason. Denouncing the cam.
paign of libel and character as.
sassination against him he de.
clared, "Neither clamor of the
mob nor the voice of power will
turn me-"
Greatest Since L0,imer.
1t was the first time LaFol.
lette ever replied to 50 serious
a charge of the electorate. In
dramatic situations it ranked
with the famous speech of Sena-
tor William Lorimer of Chica-
60 when he was expelled from
the senate for alleged election
corruption when he was elected,
charged with buying his senate
seat.
Citizens Being Tc,yoriSed.
"Law abiding citizens of the
country are being terrorized
and outraged in their rights by
those sworn to uphold the laws
and protect the rights of the
people," LaFollettc declared.

been unlawfully arrested and
thrown into Jail and held in
comuicado for days, only to be
eventually released without

because they had committed no
crime.
Gail men recognize that in
time of war our citizens must
surrender some rights for the
public good. But the right to
control their own government,
according to constitutional
forms, is not one of them.
Watch for Encroachment.
'In time of war a citizen
most be more alert to the pre-
servation of his rights to con-
troll his government, must be
most watchful of encroachment
of military upon civil power.
More than that all citizens must
retain his right Of free speech"
