SHOULD EXPEL LAFOLLETTE

In speech the other day Nicholas
Murray Butler, president of Column
bia university, demanded that Con-
gress exercise it's constitutional right
to expel United States Senator La
Toilette. He said there is provis-
ion in the constitution providing that
Congress may expel member by
two-thirds vote.
What are they thinking Of" he
exclaimed, "to sit there and permit
themselves to be contaminated by
Senator Robert M. LaFollette?
Gentlemen he said, "you might
just as well put poison into the food
of every boy that goes to his trans
port as to permit this man to make
war upon the Nation in the halls of
Congress-"
LaFollette's own people demand
his expulsion. The league of Wiscon-
sin municipalities in session at Rae

TWO VIEWS OF RUSSIA

An American VINO mas spent ten
years in European capitals is quot
ed in a dispatch from Stockholm,
which place he reached last week af-
ter six weeks in Petrograd, as giving
q pessimistic report of the fighting
spirit in Russia and of political and
industrial conditions there. He is
quoted as saying that there is no
fighting spirit except among the
Cassocks and Caucasians; that the in
terior cities and villages are filled
with Russian troops who refuse to go
to the front; that murder of officers
by soldiers has become daily oc
currence and that it is hard to find
men who are willing to become Of
Ulcers; that reports of open disobed
fence of troops at the front and of
deeds of violence committed by them
are countless, and that the govern
ment has not dared to do more than
announce that these matters would
be investigated; that the Bolshevikis
demonstration of joy over the fall Of
Riga held in front of the war office
was suffered by the government in
silence; that when Korniloff issued
his ultimatum the news was received
with joy by great proportion OF sub
stantial citizens and that men in the
-~-~r~~-- VirrvrrUo UOIu nlm OF
their secret hope that he would come
to Petrograd; that factory near
acknowledgement manufacturing war
materials and employing $4,000 hands
had just been closed because it was
impossible to meet wage demands.
That is gloomy picture, land if true
1T means that new burden will be
placed upon the United States, but
If Russia does not rally and do eff
fective fighting the United States can
and will make good the deficiency.
On the other hand, Charles Edward
Russell, who was a member of the
American mission that visited Rus
STA recently, writes that "this chat
tering Korniloff person never had a
chance for anything except the fir
ing squad;" that "you could no more
establish military dictatorship in
Russia than you could sail an ice
yacht in perdition;" that Russia has
undergone the greatest revolution and
internal convulsion in history" and
"as rapidly as possible she is pull
ing herself together; and he has
no patience with the idea that
Russia is going to fail the Allies.

the most up-to-date machine on the
market, a multiple-magazine lin
otype that sets three diff
ferent sizes Of type in the
large magazines and carries an aux
iliary magazine for setting display
heads and large advertising figures.
This gives an improvement in the
equipment of the paper that is almost
as far in advance of the machine US

years as that machine was over the
old slow method of setting type by

Reverting in his speech at Racine

concerning the Lusitania, Colonel
Roosevelt pictured the scene in the
morgue at Queenstown where dead
mothers lay with dead babies in their

"And a Senator of the United

It is hard to understand how any
self-respecting Senator can endure
the shame of leaving anything IN

STIMULATES RACES

NEW YORK, May 13.-With more
favorable weather the races i'm the
National and American leagues for
place positions have become spirited.
Last week also saw the start of the
first intersectiOnal clashes of the sea-
son. in which the eastern teams Of
both leagues had the advantage.
New York and Chicago in the Ma
tional league, by winning all their
games, gained good leads on the other
teams. st. Louis enjoyed n one-da.
stay In first play last Sunday but
was forced out by New York Monday,
and continued to slip, finally LANDING
In fourth place. The Giants beat
Philadelphia Monday and Tuesday
and won three games from Cincln-
natl. McGraw's pitchers are working
better and his team is again intact,
Herzog having returned , the last of
the week. Chicago defeated Pitts
burgh Sunday, 3 to 2, on two hits
and beat the Pirates again Monday.
In the four-game series In Brooklyn,
Mitchell's men won every game from
the league champions. Seaton pitched
two threehit games for Chicago.
The champion Boston team con-
tinues TO hold tightly to first place In
the American and increased Its lead
during the week BY winning five out
of six games. The Red Sox began
their western invasion by taking three
straight from Detroit. New York
came into runner-up position by TAX
ing two games from Philadelphia and
two out Of three from Chicago. the
most dangerous rivals for second
place. The other teams In the Ameri-
can did not change positions and
Cleveland was the only one to gain
In the percentage column. The Ameri-
can league had some excellent pitch
Ing BY tho staffs Of the Boston and

Ohlin Wins Second Game of
Doubleheader By Home Run
Parks Ball With Brady Ahead,
Turning Defeat to Victory;
Oklahoma City Takes First
Game; Seven Straight Lost.

Ohlin's weighty wallop which
cleared the left field barrier by feet.
following Bradys walk, arrested
Tulsa's tumble toward total oblivion
yesterday afternoon by accounting for
the two runs needed to turn defeat
into victory In tho second game Of the
dOubleheader with Oklahoma City. II
came in the fifth inning with the WIS.,
itors leading, 2 10 l. after having
nosed out a victory In the tirst ell
gagement by the same score, and up
to the time OF Ohlin's timely. blow.
the Producers had lost seven consecu-
tive games.
HOmcruns Decisive.
Homeruns decided both games
Blue opened the fourth round Of the
first fracas with long drive over
the left field wall for the first run.
and after Tulsa had tied II In the
seventh Murray registered the de-
Gliding marker by lifting one over the
center barrier. Also both games were
pitchers battles wherein youngsters In
their teens bowed to veterans who
might be able to escape conscription
because Of their years. In the first
Kaufman triumphed over Richter and
of Latina.
Both games were thrillers, well
played Notwithstanding considerable
mussing up of grounders by the left
side Of Tulsa's inner defense. and
spectacular fielding stunts brought
rounds of applause from woll-filled
stands.
Outficldcrs Pull Sensation.
In the fifth frame Of the opening
battle Oklahoma City was retired In
order thru sensational catches by
Wooley, Brady and Heatly. Again In
the eighth Heatly made q sensational
running catch Of Lipps' drive to right
center which looked like certain hit
and which would have scored kauf-
man with the winning run. Nor were
all the fielding honors to the home de-
tenders. Chief Of the. feature artists
was Lipps and his great catch OF
Richter's long drive to left center was
little less spectacular than that made
by Heatly. Each team pulled two dou-
BILE plays In this game.
For q while 1t looked like the In
vaders would get away with both ends
Of the bargain number. After Tulsa
had laboriously earned run In the
opening frame, base on balls, an
error and three hits gave Oklahoma
City a lead In the third, q dangerous
situation az the second had been an
nounced as only seven-inning af-
fair. Ohlin's timely donation In the
last Of the fifth, however. saved the
day.
