FIVE CHARGES OF DISLOYALTY

A Wisconsin Judge recently defined
for us treason" He said treason was
the doing or saying of anything which
would hamper or hinder this country
in her war efforts, or aid or give cour-
age or hope to the enemy. He said
the acts might be committed without
the intent directly to injure the coun-
try, or betray it into the hands of her
enemies, or Intentionally to give aid
or comfort to the enemy. On that
understanding we accuse the whole
brewing business of disloyalty.
We charge disloyalty, first because
it destroys food and wastes fuel nee
essary to the conduct of the war and
to the output OF war necessities; en-
ploys cars necessary to war transport;
occupies a half million men in a traf-
fc which is non-cssential. thereby di-
rectly hindcring our war activities and
by so much giving hope to the enemy.
We charge disloyalty, second, be-
cause it impairs the national health,
decreases our efficiency, decreases our
output, Injuries our national morals
and impairs our morale.
We charge disloyalty, third, because

SHAME UNFAlTHFUL POLITICIANS
Kansas City Judge Arraigns the
Politicians
Who Shout Patriotism and Then

City
Big Meeting Protests Liquor
Business

Kansas City, Mo, regardless of the
fact that an estimated half-million
dollars worth of property there be-
longs to the Busch brewery interests,
the estate of which is involved in the
recent action of the government in
Selling Mrs. Lillian Busch's share of
that German brewer property, is not
all bowed down to the Prussianism of
beer and vice. Kansas City, Mo-, is
moving towards complete align
ment against the corrupt brewery
politician combination. No longer
does the domineering hand of the
ward heeler, the insolence of the beer
booster, the contemptuous brazenry
of vice women, the corrupting slimi-
ness of the would-be booze-owned
party boss, simply proceed in utter
disregard of the decency of the city
and its legitimate institutions.
A recent meeting at Kansas City
left but little to be said as to the
type and character of those people
who failed to stand by the President
in cleaning up Kansas City. This
meeting was held at the Grand Ave-
nue. Temple. In an address, Judge
John G. Park said;
Shame on the politicians of this
town who throw their hats in the
air for Woodrow Wilson and still

do not comply with his request to
clean up this town. President
Wilson is fool or the politicians
of this town, who can clean it UP
if they will, are practically trait
ors.
The President had to make a
proclamation prohibiting the sale
of liquor to man in uniform. He
had to do that to protect his fight
ing men. The public pool and bill
lard hall is another place that is
injurious to our young men. Such
places as saloons, pool halls are
useless and they should be done
away with. One bad woman can
do more harm than whole pla-
toon of enemy soldiers.

cause the court records in the Pitts
burgh cases, wherein 90 officials of

have Systematically dcbauchcd our
elections, tending thereby to create
dissatisfaction with our government.
We charge disloyalty, fifth, because
the records in the hearings which re-

Association financed the Alliance to
the extent of hundreds of thousands
of dollars yearly at time when their

WHY NOT?
By ]. w. White in the Fraternal
Record, Jacksonville

When thousands of the toi1ers of
our land fill the saloons six days and
nights in the week, clearing their
eyes, wrecking their nerves and cut
ting down both the amount and quail
ity of their production by their dis
sipation, while we listen to the cry
that comes to us for ships and sup
plies to fill them for the support of
our own men and our Allies across
the water; then, in Gods name, why
not close the saloons now and make
our country 100 per cent efficient?

GERMANY IGNORES
 TURKEY AND AUSTRIA
NO REFERENCE IS MADE BY GER MANY IN HER NOTE TO ETH. ER OF HER Co-BELLlG-
 ERENT5.

London Oct 2l.-Lord Northcli,c, commenting upon Germany's reply TO- night said
 "A nasty perusal of the German note reveals that, with truly Prlssian self .ishness, no mention is made of Aus Hungary or Turkey It seems to .me that the document may be read either as a means to gain time or as q confession of state of affairs mill tarily and economically worse than We know
 "The German government may bc hoping to exploit the conditions of the Iarmistice as an outrage upon German honor and as means of rallyng the lGerman nation for desprate resistance, or it may simply be trying to put the president into the position of trustee to
 the German people who will have thrown itself upon his mercy
 The least satisfactory feature of the reply is the shameless prevari- cation with regard to German out ragcs on land and sea, and the sus- gestion that this be dealt with by g neutral commission is mere suhter- fuge. The arguments employed to proev that a reform of the German constitution had been accomplished are unworthy of serious considera-
 ton
