let every dog in the city run the
chance of getting some of it.

NO COMPROMISE WITH DIsLOY-
New York Worldly

(NeW 1Ork WOrlu.)
No government can compel citizen
to give it loyal support in time of
war, but every government can take
stern measures to protect itself from
the consequences of disloyalty.
The Indictment of jeremiah O'Leary
and two other persons associated with
him in the publication Of a seditious
magazine called Bull, following the
indictment of various members OF the
editorial staff of The Masses, fur
nishes gratifying evidence that the
authorities at Washington are deter
mined at last to use the power con-
ferred upon them by congress. 1t is
time this power was used, and used
drastically.
Since April 6 the United States has
been engaged in two wars, one with
the imperial German government and
one with the disloyal and reasonable
elements of it's own population. These
elements have been giving aid and
comfort to Germany every day since
congress declared the existence of a
state of war. Without having the
courage to commit an overt act OF
treason, they have publicly preached
treason and melted others to treason.
OBTAINING and ibelling their own gov
eminent, impeaching the honesty and
the integrity of it's motives, they have
nevertheless claimed the fullest guar
antees of freedom for themselves I'M
der it and demanded the fullest pro-
lection of their zeal and pretended
rights.
While regiment after regiment OF
American soldiers has gone to the
'front.' to die if need be for the ideals
of the republic, these miserable scoun-
drels at home have been intriguing In
behalf of Germany and doing what
they could to defeat the military un-
dertakings of their country.
It is of little consequence whether
they have been Influenced by the dirty
money of the German propaganda OF
whether their disloyalty is the product
of moral perversion. The important
thing is that the United States shoulc
deal with them as they deserve to bt
dealt with.
Nobody cor say that the authorities
at Washington have been arbitrary o.
despotic in enforcing the espionag'
act. They have been lenient almos
ito the point of weakness in their re
luctance to use the law lest they b,
accused of attempting to stife homes
criticism. When they have acted the.
have acted hesitatingly and almos
apologetically.
There was a great deal to be sai'
for such a policy at the beginning o
the war, but it has failed. The ele
ments of sedition have come to believ
that the government dare not TAX
strong measures against them ant
that the country can be fooled indefi
nitely by their impudent pretense o
defending free speech and FREE
press. Appeals and warnings alik'

Future Demand for Florida Citrus Fruit
Assures Sale for all That Can be Grown

The growth of demand for a good
food product is much more rapid after
it becomes generally popular. The pop
ularization of oranges and grapefruit
means much larger call for these.
Florida may have the cream of the
trade in citrus during her season just
as long as she continues to put her
product on the market in good shape
and to push its sale by modern methods.
With the area in which oranges

demand of the future for these fruits is
bound to reflect itself in more profitable

just how much Of this s26 millions

Civilized states do not repudiate

and 1reyolution-torn Mexico also has

No bonds or securities are put up.
