"This is just line to express my
interest in your reelection and to
hope that everything is going well
with you. l am sure that your col
leagues, as well as |, would feel that
your absence form the House OF
Representatives was real loss"
This is the same sort of letter writ

tative Finley Gray. Of Indiana, an
other pacifst and near socialist, in a
campaign preliminary to a special
election held less than a year ago. 1t
throws an interesting side light or
the Wisconsin campaign letter against
Lenroot, in which President Wilson
declared that failure to vote against
the McLemore resolution Indicated
doubtful loyalty. 1t may be added
that Representative Lenroot never

ing, who have failed to vote for the
most essential war measures.
It is true that war is being waged
by administration leaders against Sen
ator Hardwick, of Georgia. The real
complaint against Senator Hardwick,
however, is not about his record in
voting for war measures, but because
he has taken such a decided stand
against socialism and against exten-
siOns of executive authority he did not
believe were connected with war
powers Men like Mr.. Keating appar-
emily can go as far as they like in
fighting war measures, providing they
are entirely loyal from party caucus
standpoint.
1t is evident that the "acid test"
matter is going to cause some stir in
the present campaign. If, as now
seems certain, Democratic leaders sup
port men like Representative Keating
for reelection, upon such a record as
he has made on this paramount issue
of loyalty" they are going to be con-
fronted with this evidence of their
misuse of the tissue" Of patriotism
for personal and partisan purposes.
"Patrioteering" was the word used to
describe this by Republicans in the
Wisconsin campaign. A word of pro
test from Washington against Repre-
sentative Keating's votes would elm
mate him politically. But it doesn't
come and no one here believes it will

Representative keating's course
during the present Congress is CON

voted against the war resolution,
against the bill to increase the mill

The question now arises as to why
nothing has been done by the Demo

Golfers Of the old school were very
familiar with the name Of Alexander
McKellar, perhaps the greatest enthu-

had. All day and every day he played
over the Bruntsheld links, and at night
he found 1t SO difficult to relinquish his
beloved game that he played the put
ting course by candlelight. Yet all this
devotion to golf notwithstanding, he
never became a great player. The
Sabbath was strictly observed by him,
and on that day he acted as doorkeep-
