A conclusion resting on an as
sumption is no stronger than the as
sumption. Ascribing the war wholly
to the sinking Of the Lusitania, a
judgment fatty against the facts,
Senator La Toilette presents himself
as a pettifogger.
The Lusitania sinking had to do
with our entry into the war. The
crime was monstrous. But the bones
of the Lusitania dead were on the
bottom of the sea for nearly two

until Germany had committed new
offenses did the President go before
congress. The Lusitania slaughter
was merely symptomatic. We wage
war not against symptoms. but
against a disease.
In dealing with La Follette's case,
one has the feeling of contact with
a dead soul rather than with con-
fused intellect. He is stone deaf to
issues which clamor at other ears
with exploding force. He is of
type not strange, for in every great
crisis of the human race have been
men whose hearts have been cold
and lifeless.

MEAT At TEN CENTS A POUND!

Canadians are eating a new meat
All that is necessary to make whale
meat a common dish. says a dis
patch from Victoria, B. c., is ar
rangement for proper distribution.
In that city recently four tons Of
fresh whale were received and put
on sale in every market in the city
at the cheering price of 10 cents a
pound. The meat is said to be
tender and appetizing.
Each whale produces about seven
tons of edible flesh. In the Canadian
city instructions for cooking and
recipes for various whale dishes are
given with every order sold.
There is no reason why whale
meat shouldn't be good for food. II
its flavor is as agreeable as it's price
the popularity of the new meat is
assured. That will mean a tremend-
Gus relief in the food situation. So
far the demand has been chiefly in
British Columbia. But the Victoria
Whaling Company has begun to re-
ceive orders for its product from
meat markets and hotel proprietors
farther east than Chicago.
With seven tons of meat per whale
1t ought to be easy to supply a
steadily increasing demand. Perhaps
the United States will follow the ex-
ample of it's northern neighbor and
eat whale, too. in order to increase
the total supply of meat available
for the rest of the world.

can be mistaken and foolish, being
human: and at st. Paul day before

If an ordinary citizen had hired q
hall or used a street corner curb and
had made the same sDeech made by
La Toilette in st. Paul. he would
now be in jail~or a hospital. That is
just where La Toilette should be.
The fact that he is a senator of the
United States does not make him
immune. He was not speaking in
the halls of congress. His position
merely makes him the more guilty.
Moreover, the senate should wait no
longer. It should expel him.
ANY senator who will make the
speech he did at st. Paul would GER
tainly seem to come under the clear
definition of the Constitution, as Civ
ing aid and comfort to the enemy,
and that is treason.

Senator La Follette's TRADE at St
Paul against the national govern
ment was an insult to the intelli-
gence and patriotism of his auditors.

such a concourse of illiterates and

would appear so.
1t would be a mere waste of time
to refute by facts known to every
school boy So false and silly an as
persion made for the purpose of
founding the senator's position that
the United States is wrong in this
war. 1t was the old platform device
of setting up a straw man for the
cheap and easy victory of knocking
him down.
The senator knows that that is not
why we are at war with Germany.

Senator La Toilette and the most
violent and ignorant rnaximalist agi-
tator in Petrograd seem headed ii
the same direction. The American
demagogue may be clever enough to
keep within the law, but morally he
is guilty of disloyalty. He is delib-
erately poisoning the minds Of gull
lible and i'll Informed people against
their government.
Those of his auditors at st. Paul
who shouted yellow" at La Toilette
gave his speech the proper label.
AS to the question of war finance,
La Toilette did not tell his hearers
that the excess war profits tax is to
be higher in the United States after
few months of war than 1t is in
England in the fourth year of that
country's struggle. He was outrage
ously unfair to congress and the ex-
ecutive because he and his few ia
natical adherents were not able to
impose their wild and injurious no
tons on the government and the
people of the United States.

THE RAILROAD MIRACLE.

Public wonder grows as facts are
piled on facts showing the amazing
revolution effected in American
transportation. All Of the 6s3 rail-
roads in the United States are now
operating under one central authori-
ty. We have a national army OF l.
100000 engaged in serving the nation
by carrying its people and goods
with the utmost possible effective
ness.
AS a result. according to a state
ment of Fairfax Harrison. chairman
OF the railroads war board. the
freight-car shortage-the excess OF
car-orders over idle cars-has been
decreased 20 per cent in four
months.
All freight cars in the country
have been pooled. so that any car
may be used Immediately on any
road. no matter whom IL belongs to.
This innovation. together with the
pooling OF coal for tidewater and
Great Lakes shipment. permitting
the loading Of coal on any available
vessel. has practically added hun
dreds Of thousands of freight cars to
the total equipment. There has been
an enormous increase of carrying
power. too. accomplished by the more
efficient loading OF freight in the
cars. so that nearly every car is not
merely working nearly all the time.
but is working to its full capacity.
Here is another wonder. The new
management. by eliminating passen-
ger trains not essential to the most
pressing needs OF the country, has
saved approximately 10000. 900 miles
OF train service a year" That has
released many hundreds OF locomo-
tives and train crews for more inn
portant work and has cleared many
thousands OF miles OF track for
freight service.
Thus, while spending hardly any
thing for new equipment or trackage.
but merely by making the best use
Of the tracks and rolling stock on
hand. our railroads are said to have
added to their ordinary freight serv-
ice an amount equal to the freight
traffic of Great Britain, France, Rus
STA, Germany and Austria combined.
All this by eliminating competition
between the. railroads and putting
them under a single directing head.

The Sargent County Teller, pub

of the anti-prohibition statement
that closing Of the breweries has
anything to do with the high cost of
beef, and says:
The anti-prohibition forces are
flooding the country with litera-
ture giving reasons for the high
cost beef. According to them
the closing of the breweries has
caused a shortage of refuse
which has formerly been used as
cattle feed. We should imagine
the whole grain would be a good
substitute for the refuse.

attorney general that the sale Of
near beers was a violation of the
statute. A few days later came

lowing editorial:
The Kaiser and La Toilette
differ in at least one respect:
Bill wants a place in the sun
while Bob insists on a place in the
limelight.
The Dunn County News, published
at Manning, is against a patched UP
peace, and says:
Every citizen wishes that the
war would end. But now, as It
has gone this far, nothing but
universal peace making the

satisfy. A patched up peace
would be worse than war, for It
would come back to that in a
short time.

AN ExPERT,s ADVICE.

The bureau of home economics Of
the New York Association for I'm
prving the Condition of the Poor has
summarized the salient essentials of
rational food economy under the fol-
lowing head: To get the best re-
suits spend money for food as fol-
lows:
81. Spend from one-fourth to one
third of your food money for bread,
cereals, macaroni and rice.
'2. Buy at least from third to a
half a quart of milk a day for each
member of the family.
80. Spend as much for vegetables
and fruits together as you do for
milk. II you use half a quart of
milk for each member of the family
this may not always be possible.
Then spend as much for vegetables
and fruit as a third of a quart of
milk a day would amount to.
"a. Spend not more for meat and
eggs than for vegetables and fruits.
Meat and eggs may be decreased
with less harm than any of the other
foods mentioned. The amount spent
for meat may decrease as the amount
spent for milk increases.

The employers who have upon their
rolls tens Of thousands of men and
women find that it pays them to pro-
vide for the adequate medical care of
their working men and women. This
has been carried to degree which
would have been considered astound-
ing generation ago. Practically ev-
cry department store has its medical
and nursing staff. Some even have
dentists and chiropodists, whose serv-
ices are at the disposal of their en-
ployees.
Instead Of considering the appli-
cants without regard for their physi-
cal condition, examinations are now
required in order that sufferers from
tuberculosis and other diseases will
not be added to the force of employees
and menace the healthy workers and
the establishments customers.
Great industrial plants not only Of
fer medical and surgical treatment to
their employees, but the majority Of
them conduct welfare work, carrying
modern medical and sanitary practice
into the homes of their employees, to
the great benefit and protection Of
the workers and their families.
1t has been demonstrated beyond
the question of a doubt that this Is an
excellent investment from the employ
ers' standpoint. No man can render
the maximum Of service who is physi-
cally unfit. Big business has proved
health primary necessity in industry,
and it is willing to pay for it.
The employees have never been TAX
en- better care of than at the present
time. This has come about through
the educational work of health au-
thOrities, with the assistance Of the
public press.
