Samuel Fallows and seconded by
Judge Jacob M. Dickinson former

Old Women Of Both Sexes
David Starr Jordan was mentioned
as among those whose pacifist views
were condemned by the speaker, who
referred to pacifists as "old women
of both sexes"
The address in part was as follows
One Flag, One Language
"In this country the events of the
last three years will teach us much
If we have the wit to read the les
sons Alright There must be in the
United States one flag and only one
flag; one allegiance and only one
language-that of the declaration of
independence, of Washington's fare
we'll address, of Lincoln's. Gettsburg
speech and President Wilson's mes
sage to congress.
Il would give anything in the world
to be going over with you" he said
to soldiers in the audience. "If it had
not been such very exclusive war
would have gone. | greet you as
comrades, you with the white faces
and you with the black faces. And
| want to say this, in the home state
of Abraham Lincoln if a man does
his duty, black or white, stand by
him. We can not afford to take any
other ground in our own country
under the penalty of being counted
as hypocrites when we fight for the
rights of humanity abroad.
Stand By Our Army
You men of the great army are do
ing the supreme work and we, who
for any reason are denied the right
the chance to go to the front, must
stand behind you in every way with
the Red Cross, the arms, with the
government when it issues a loan.
Therefore, let every man subscribe
to the liberty loan.
I'VE have heard good deal about
this being a rich mans war. It's a
l,a Itbc
merican's war, and every man | know
and respect, rich or poor, is going
to fight in the line if he can. These
same creatures who tell you it is
rich mans war will, in about ten
years. be screeching against the
who stand opposed to
the people. They can prevent that
right now by persuading the people
to invest in bonds.
La Toilette Sinister Foe
"We are here to stand against the
Hun outside and inside our gates
against the men who are the worst
foes of our nation at this time, men
Of the stamp of Senator La Toilette.
The other day | saw how, in a speech
at St. Paul, Senator La Toilette ac-
tually, by implication, condoned the
brutal German murders of our wo-
men and children on the high seas
saying, forsooth, or implying. that it
was the munition makers that had
gotten our citizens to travel on those
ships and be sunk. After the sink
ng of the Lustania, read how, in
he Queenstown morgue, hundreds
If dead women lay waiting identifi-
,ation, holding in their arms the

senator of the United States con-
iones the action of the inhuman

ention from the wrongs committed
IN us abroad by breathing dissen-
