HOW THE TRUTH BECAME PUB.
ITC.

Prince Lichnowsky, who was the
German minister to England when
the war commenced, was being blam-
ed for not keeping his country out Of
the war. He contended that his fail
ure was not due to any act or thing
he did or could have done, but to the
fact that his country did not want to
keep out of the war; that his coun-
try wanted war and forced Austria
to commence the conflict This the
German government denied, and to
sustain his contention the Prince
made public certain written evidences
which could not be denied. Then he
was arrested on the charge of trea-
son for making public certain conf
dental state papers.
The kaiser may have his late minis
ter to England convicted and shot for
telling the truth, but in the cause of
truth he has rendered great SER
vice, and his execution will not dim
his memory. On the contrary it will
help to immortalize him.

CROWDER ASKS CHANGE.
Provost Marshal General Asks A.
terations in Draft Bill.
Tells Congress Present Measure Will
Result In Delay Of Calling Men
for Some Time.

Washington, May /. Provost
Marshal General Crowder requested
congress to eliminate from the bill ex-
tending the draft to youths now TWEEN
ty-one years old, the amendment put
ting at the bottom of the eligible list
those who would register under the
measure and asked that the bill basing
draft quotas on the number Of men In
class be amended to make its opera
tons retroactive.
General Crowder made his request
in letters TO the chalrmen of the SEN
ate and house military committees. OF
the proposal to put the new registrants
at the bottom of the list Of eligibles
General Crowder saidc
"The plan proposed by this Office
would result in the registrants being
given order numbers scattered through
out the entire list of order numbers.
This sens to be fairer than the plan
proposed by the amendment.
"The result of the house amendment
in many Jurisdictions will be to delay
the calling of these young men for
considerable time. In the meantime
their status will have changed, they
will have married, or become inte-
grated with the industries Of the coun-
try.
Moreover, 1t establishes a prece-
dent which may be appealed, to, provid-
ed aliens are registered under the pro-
visions Of the new legislation based
upon treaties to be NEGOTIATED"

CHEAP POLITICS.
(Telegraph- Herald)

The republican course of proceed
ure in the debate on the Overman bill,
and attacks on the administration, in
stead of being constructive criti-
cism" is merely cheap politics. The
speeches of the narrow, partisan SEN
ators such as Sherman Of Illinois,
Cummins of Iowa, Brandagee and 9TH
ers of that ilk, reveal a concerted
move to open up a republican cam
paign of indicative assault on the
administration, that is utterly repul-
sive to the nation in its present mood,
obstructive to winning the war, and
condemned in the heart of every true
patriot.
The truth is that the Overman bill
will fortify and bulwark the United
States as nothing else will do, and is
first aid to victory in the Titanic
world war campaign.
The republicans in the senate and
house are pulling off" these unwor-
thy stunts as the beginning OF their
campaign for reelection.
The Washington Times exposes a
letter written by Senator James A.
Watson of Indiana, in which the pol
son propaganda plans of the republi-
cans for this summer and fall are
startlingly revealed. The exposure
serves to- put every true American
citizen on guard against the fulmina-
ton of these political wind-jammers
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1918-05-01
SENATE PASSES OVERMAN MEAS
IRE BY VOTE OF So TO Is.

The Senate last Monday passed the
Overman measure, by the unexpected
ly large majority Of nearly 5 to 1.
When it came to final showdown %
republican senators preferred to be
recorded as patriots rather than par
tisans.
If the Overman bill becomes a law,
and there is little doubt about that, it
will put an end to all disputes, de-
lays and chickering's between differ
ent governmental agencies and de-
partments because it gives President
Wilson the broad and unhampered
power to coordinate and reorganize
every agency and department OF the
government.
The men who refuse to manufac-
ture war materials known to be good,
because they are experimenting upon
some similar article believed by them
to be better, will have to get out
when the Overman act becomes law,
and there will be no one to question
the order for their retirement.
When the Overman act is given a
place in the statute book, there will
be coordination between every branch
of the public service, or those re-
sponsible for any failure will have to
get out. And no anti-administration
senator will be able to retard the or
der of their going.

REED AND vALLAND1NGHAM.

Senator Reed of Missouri was the
only man calling himself democrat
who voted against the Overman bill.
Reed has carried his opposition to
measures necessary for the successful
prosecution of the war very near to
the limit. He has delayed much need
led legislation by his bitter attacks
upon the conduct of the war.
Wilson has his Reed today the same
as Lincoln had his Va1landingham in
1868. Vallandingham, as member
of congress from Ohio, assailed ev-
cry measure calculated to hasten the
suppression of the Civil war. Lincoln
was patient, he tolerated Vallanding-
hams attacks for more than two
years and then he had the calumnia-
tor arrested and sent through the
lines to the Confederate army, made
a present of him to jeff Davis. Sena-
tor Reed and one or two other sem
ators might study with profit the pro-
cedure in the Vallandingham case.
The kaiser may not be laundering for
presents of the Vallandingham variety,
but what could he do if he had such
an honor thrust upon him?
