 While our Allies at grips with our enemies in what the Kaiser heraded the decisive struggle of the war and what the British Premier, appealing for our laggard aid pronounces 'the greatest and most momentous battle in the history of the world, the Senate of the United States engaged in a fierce setto the claims and counter claims, the crminations and recriminations of two sets Of poll ticians who call themselves, respectively Democrats and Republicans
 Such wranges year out of date The peo pe of this country today don't rap for either the Democratic party the Republican party except as 1t may submerge itself in the American party Sen ator Williams forcibly put this truth when he said: This country is longer composed of Republicans and Democrats, but of patriots and lukewarm patriots into innocuous desuetude.

 those liberties be worth the price? Sup
