Served Him. Right.

In the Minneapolis municipal court
yesterday A. D. Smith, blatant Min
neapolis attorney, was found guilty
by jury of the charges of disloyalty
preferred against him, and Judge
Leary, very properly, imposed the
maximum sentence Of one years i'm
prisonment in the workhouse. A sixty
days stay was granted.
This fellow Smith was fagrantly
disloyal, and even threatened to as
sassinate Judge MCGEE Of the Public
Safety commission. He richly merited
the sentence imposed upon him, and no
stay Of proceedings should have been
granted. The proper place for men of
his stripe is behind prison bars.

Propaganda Spots Show,

The returns also bring out more
forcibly than ever before the relations
between A. G. Townley's Nonpartisan
league and the pro-German forces of
the state. The only cities and villages
of the state where Lindbergh showed
strength were those where socialism,
pacifism and the other adjuncts of
German propaganda have been power
full. Nearly all of them are towns
where German blood predominates and
German traditions have been strong,
as in New Ulm.
On the other hand, wherever loyal
sentiment had in other ways been
proved strong, Burnquist led over
whelmingly. The Burnquist majorities
generally are good index to the fer
vor of local patriotism. This does not
apply to rural townships, where in
many cases patriotic farmers had been
misled into following Townleyism, and
refused to credit disloyalty among the
leaders of the movement.
The vote for James A. Peterson for
United States senator was larger than
expected, in view Of the fact that he
is under four year sentence for VIC
lating the espionage act. He was bad
~ beaten, but he got surprisingly
large vote in many places, and where
he ran strong Lindbergh also ran
strong. The league did not officially
indorse Peterson, but its following evil
IDENTIFY furnished the convicted man all
the votes he got.
League leaders during the campaign
repeled charges of disloyalty and made
loud protests of their loyal American
ism. The evidence of the leagues own
'swar program of the sLindbergh
book, and the convictions Of league
officials for disloyaI talk, was enough
for most loyal citizens. Now, if any
other proof were needed, it is given
by the primary returns. Pro-German
voters, socialists and all opponents Of
the country's cause in the war mani
testify voted for the Townley candi-
dates as the best way to divide the
state and nation and cripple its war

The American Federation Of Labor,
at it's convention in St. Paul, went
on record for the taking over by the
government Of the whole telegraph
systems Of the country for the period
of the war and so long thereafter as
may be necessary. A committee was
appointed to call upon President Will
son and place the matter before him.
To person considering this sugges-
ton from an impartial viewpoint it
would seem that the taking over Of the
telegraph systems by the government
would work out to the advantage OF
the country and be in exact conformity
with the course pursued in regard te
the railroads.

London Enthused Over Baseball.

r. A~AsSAA>AA1~<A
The; latest and one Of the greatest
wonders of the world is that London
has taken to baseball. Never before
did the English have much use for our
great national game, but American and
Canadian soldiers have been educating
them. Eight teams have started
summer schedule, and here is how
Thomas Burke reports a game in the
London Star Of May 27:
ssLast week I discovered baseball.
The match between the army and navy
teams was my first glimpse of a
pastime that captivated continent,
and can well understand its appeal to
a modern temperament. Believe me,
it's the good goods. And the crowd!
* had heard and read much of base
ball fans and their methods Of roofing,
but my conceptions were nothing near
the real thing. The grandstands,
crowded with army and navy fans,
bristling with megaphones and tossing
hats and demoniac faces, would have
made superb subject for litho-
graph by Sir Frank Bragwyn.
The game got hold Of me before the
first pitched ball The players in their
hybrid costumes and huge gloves, the
catcher in his gas mask, and the move
ments of the teams as they practiced
runs shook me with excitement. Then
the game began and the roofing be-
gan. In past years have attended
various football matches in mining dis
tricts when the players came in for a
certain amount of Raging, but they
were church services compared with
the furious abuse and hazing handed
to any unfortunate who failed to play
ball.
There was, for example, an ex-
lplosive, reyerberating "a -h-h h h

In a Washington dispatch it is stated
that the war department will ask
changes in the draft law so that men
between the ages Of 18 and As may be
available for military service. This,
it is estimated, would give an addi-
tional 100000 men from the popula-
ton of this country. There is no tell
ing how many men we will need ere
the war is ended and it is well for the
country to be prepared for any emer-
