Under the latter head, officials suggest
might be listed gamblers, heakmak-

others. Formal notification would be
served upon the men that unless with
in a specified time they obtained en-
ployment in some useful industry.
they would have their classification

The plan is not designed to interfere
With the so-caifed esscatiai indus

slight degree but officials say much

from the augmented labor supply and
the greatly increased production Of

Administration officials who have
participated i'm the preparation OF the

be to obtain authority for the indus

WHY WAS ADAMS so
HONORED?

NN4HILE the republican
~ press has been busy
with efforts to muck
rake the administrations wal
waging efforts it appears they
have been overlooking a genu-
inc case of menace in their own
camp. John T. Adams, pro-
nounced pro-German only a
year or two ago, came within
an ace of being elected chair
man of the republican national
committee. In fact he had the
election deadlocked for a time
and did not withdraw until an
agreement had been reached
under which he was given the
vice Craftsmanship of the natl
onal committee.
Mr.. Adams had written
stories upholding the German
side of the war against Eng
land, France and Belgium. He
justified the sinking of the
Lusitania and argued that
Americans should not be allow
ed to travel ON ships carrying
munitions. In other words he
went about the limit for the
kaiser on this subject. Yet
this man has been honored by
being given the vice chairman
ship of the republican nation
al committee. He is the second
in command in the G.. O. p.
camp. You may be thoroughly
assured the news has gone
abroad before this and that the
kaiser and his henchmen are
pointing out a German tri-
umph in connection with man
agement of the great republi-
can party in America.
What do the loyal citizens of
the republican faith think
about the, matter? 1t certain
ly is not a pleasing spectacle
for them or for any one else
who puts America first these
days. 1t SmackS OIL an appear
to the German vote of the mid
die west. Why else was man
of Mr.. Adams record given
such high honor?
Before they undertake any
further criticism of the way
the Wilson administration is
waging the war would it not be
a good plan for the republican
politicians to clean their own
stables?
