BELATED AND DOUBTFUL LOYALTY.

CHEERING Lafollcttcs seditious speech will long be
- remembered as one OF the performances Of the Non
Partisan league Perhaps there has been change Of heart
then hut protests OF loyalty as made by A. q Towns
lev before the senate recently not convincing as they
might be Thec is the fact that Townsley himself IS un-
der indictment for alleged violation of Mnncsotas laws
Also by his own admission the league subscribed nothing
as an organization to the first and second Liberty loans and
but 5000 to the third The best the league seems ate to
offer is belated LOYALTY which better than at ALL Of
course but an organization in that class isn't one likely to
meet with general encouragement at this time.
Then there is the fact that the whole purpose OF the
league of questionable worth Obviously it strives to
stir up class feeling and works not for the general good
dusrcs save farming would be denied representation in
this representative government that would be the re-
suit its present course were carried to logical ends hnd
that would be bad for the farmers well the rest OF
the country
One Of the purposes OF this war its main purpose, in
deed TO preserve and promote democracy, and class
feeling and class strife do not make toward that end
Therefore even if admit may, that the leaders OF
this organization Prusan agents they are, never
theess foes OF democracy whether they know il not
They are making effort unite the forces OF the ma
on to smite common enemy. Rather, they working
for dssenon and seeking special privilege at time when
sacrifice and united effort are most vital
Mr. Townsey it is possible, will be able to clear his
name in the courts but in the court of public opinion he
and his league already stand convicted and in that court
cchncales and lip service convincing The pub
lie still has rccollectons OF that LaFolette speech

NO BLACK COUNTIES WANTED.

OKLAHOMA has gone over the top in its Liberty loan
~ quota and is still going But that isn't due to certain
counties in the state several OF which still tagging be-
hind This is the latter end Of the last week OF the loan
drive but there time enough still to redeem those coun
ties so that when the states Liberty loan map printed
next Sunday no counties will be printed in black II any
such counties remain on that day they will appear stains
on the state and as blos their reputation for pa
trotism For in its way this loan is test OF patriotism
a mild test which any community should meet without
cracking under the strain No region has been listed for
more bonds than it can well afford buy. and shouldn't
take any urore Of loyalty make safe investment to that
extent
Andscyen If some sacrifice is needed to buy a bond,
one should be willing make it for his country 1t IS
beggary little sacrifice most compared with the big ones
TIN, war exact from those who do the fighting and from the
kinolk they leave at home The counties threatened with
becoming black spots on the map should think OF that and
avoid such stamp OF dshonor And others, who live in
counties well over their minimum quotas should also give
this matter attention Too many Americans have yet to
learn the meaning of sacrifice learn that this IS no time
for ease and luxury and that those who to the TRENCHES
cannot do it all
But they will learn in time. As time passes Americas
part in the war must grow larger and Americans will rise
to the occasion They will or they not worth saving
from the Hun nor their liberty worth preserving But 1t
is important that no time be lost and that every step be
taken fully as needed lie who holds his miserable money
as something dearcr than his nation and the rights OF hu
manity is poor type OF American and one who shall
ultimately find himself outcast
