Senator Jones, Of Washington,
forced into the open Senate yester-
day the question of the probability
Of enormous frauds in Quitting the
army with uniforms and accoutre-
ments. He read and commented on
a complaint from a reserve officer
that the total of the robbery Of all
reserve officers on what they are
obliged to buy for themselves would
be not less than $4,000, 000-out of
their privates pockets, as soldiers,
paid into the pockets Of Give wire
experts who enforce payment of
their own percentages on their own
patriotism.

The testimony Congress has al
ready collected is highly explosive.
1t shows robbery. 1t shows that the
machinery of the Government has
often been usurped clunningly by a
gang of parasites and bloodsuckers,
as shameless as ever crawled and bit
on the Body Polite of any country in
the long history of the intimate con-
nection between war and robbery.
This has been done in spite Of good
men, who, as volunteers, made great
sacrifices to serve the country. But
it has been done, and the sort of
voluntary censorship" which con-
ceals it, increases it and makes those
who conceal it accomplices in it. 1t
ought to be stopped if there are pen
itentiaries enough to hold the thieves.

Kenyon announced a purpose of fore

billion dollar resources, available for

Supporting the Presidents demand
for open diplomacy, the Borah reso-
luton calls for the consideration of
all treaties in open session of the

The Pou House resolution calls for
a water power committee of eight

power legislation, including that now
pending. The Presidential plan, pro-
viding for a committee of fifteen,
may have the right of way. In any
event. prospects are improving for
stopping the steal of the country's
"hydro-electric energy"

cleared the decks yesterday for ac-

Francis J. Heney is counsel for the

the packers trust, and, if we mistake
not, ere he gets through with the
rascally combine Swift, Armour and
others will think that they have been
struck in the head with an ak. In
speaking of Henry Veeder, chief coun-
sci for Swift & Co., who refused to
permit an examination of the pack
ers' confidential files, Mr.. .Heney said:
Henry Veeder is shown to be the
clearing house of the packers Of the
expenses which they incurred jointly,
and which they divided in the purchase
Of cattle, sheep, hogs and calves
throughout the country" This pack
ing combine would have us believe
that it's motto is Patriotism that it
is rendering every assistance to the
government, whereas it is engaged in
robbing the whole country. This ne
farious combination should and must
be crushed beneath an iron heel.

progress of the war department in
preparing American armies, given be-
fore the senate committee of military
affairs, as published in the govern

statement of facts which covers every
detail of the situation and disproves
the charges Of bowling pessimists-
like that man Chamberlain, for in

fault with government departments
and stir up discocd throughout the
country. Everyone who carefully
reads Secretary Bakers statement can
scarcely do other than admit that he
has, and is, faithfully and successfully
performing his duty.

THE 1, 81 ) COUNTRY - IN OF OPPORTUNITY.

THE COUNTRY OF o OPPORTUNITY.
Demagogues pirate about the lack Of
opportunity for a poor man to acquire
wealth and fame in this country.
United States Senator Hughes, who
died the other day at Patterson, N. j.,
was poor Irish boy, came to this
country with his parents in the seven
ties, and at the age Of ten went to
work as reel boy in a spinning mill.
Here is another instance Of a poor
boy getting to the front right here in
Minnesota. Last week William P,
Kenney, a former Minneapolis news
boy, was made president of the Great
Northern railway system.
Probably the majority Of those
prominent in public life and in bust
ness circles in this country today
worked upward from poverty and OBJ
security. The United States is coun-
try worth fighting and dying for.

It is just as the Union expected.
James Manahan, Oscar E. Keller and
Thomas j. McGrath, who had been in
,dicted by the grand jury of Ramsey
county for melting to riot, have been
set at liberty. Manahan's case was
first called, and when the evidence for
the state had. been submitted the: de-
PENDANTS attorney moved to dismiss,
as there was no cause Of action, and
Judge Dickson granted the motion. On
motion Of the county attorney the in
dictments against Keller and McGrath
were nolled. No doubt the speeches
Of the accused were indiscreet and
demagogic but not actionable.

While the fixing of wheat prices has
doubtless proven advantageous to the
consumer, now that the utilization of
substitutes in large percentage is or
dered by the food administration, the
prices of these substitutes are bound
to become prohibitive unless congress
takes measures to prevent it. The
market quotations of these substitutes
show that dealers are already taking
advantage of the situation prices are
advancing daily. Regulation Of these
exorbitant prices have been under con-
sideration by congressional commit
tee and we expect that ere long some
action will be taken.

THE DAY OF RECKONING.
A MARCHING SONG.

The Teutons thought we would not fight.
Our hearts, they said, were cold;
Twas peace at any price with US; we cared
for naught but gold;
With safety they could sink our ships, their

The day of reckoning has come; we'll show
them their mistake.

to the fight!

mothers, drowned

robbed and bound
OF all the martyr-lands whose soil the savage
Where blood of hapless innocence cries day and
night to Godl
We march to reinforce the brave whose bat
tie is our own,
With them, in Mercy's name to hurl the War
God from his throne.
No parleys now, no compromise! Keep at it,
boys, we must, r.
Until. the Potsdam murderers lie bowling in
the dust.
The hero-spirits of all time in our great cause

On Y, Us the noble Alfred smiles. and glorious
Leonidas, Tell, winkelried. with Freedoms
And. in celestial armor clad. the holy Maid
On. comrades. on, with courage strong!
The old flag leads the way.
Who is not proud to march beneath its shining
folds today?
The battle thunders nearer roll; their call is
to the brave.
On, on, to smite Oppression down, and Free
dorns cause to save!
The day of reckoning has come; now forward
to the fight! AZ.

A bill has been introduced in the New
York legislature providing for an
amendment to che state constitution
which would make it illegal for any
legislature or state convention to act
upon an amendment to the United
States constitution proposed by con
gress unless the members of the legis-
lature and the delegates to the con-
vention have been elected after the
amendment was submitted by con-
gress to the various states for ratifca-
ton. It is a sensible measure and
provides an indirect method for the
people to have a voice in the adoption
or rejection of an amendment to the
federal constitution.

One of the principal reasons why not
more work, knitting, etc., is turned out
for the Red Cross is that the lolling
"beauties" Of the acknowledgement
class fritter away most of their time
in camouhaging their countenances,
gambling at bridge and entertaining
at epicurean feasts. We have come
to the conclusion, and defy refutation,
that the poor people and those of
moderate means-with few exceptions
are the ones who are executing the
bulk of the Red Cross work for our
boys in the army.

Conditions in Berlin and other Ger

Conditions in Berlin and other Ger
man cities are frightful -rioting is
progressing furiously. If William
the Terrible does not change his tao
tics his own subjects are likely to at
tach his person and clean up Berlin
before the allies invade that city. The
Germans are patient people, but in
the face Of starvation patience ceases
to be virtue and the uprising is
merely natural sequence. A tyrant
may keep his subjects whipped into
line for i long period Of time but the
end Of his oppression is sure to come
even though the cutters as in the
French revolution red with blood.

Charles H. Grasty, the Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times,
writes, allied Europe views with ap-
Eprehension the proposed curtailment
of the power Of President Wilson, and
then goes on to say:
The Chamberlain bill for war
cabinet is discussed here in accents of
alarm. While under it's terms the
presidents ultimate powers would be
undisturbed, the, association of other
officials with him on nearly equal
footing might, it is felt, have subtle
and far-reaching effect upon his initia-
tive and will.
In the midst of the confusion grow
ing out Of separated councils and diff
fused authority; Washington has fur
nished valuable stabilizing influence.
OF late the whole war situation has
found it's center of gravity in the
white house.
President Wilson's personal quail
ties of vision, GOODNESS, fearlessness,
and mastery of expression, combined
with the absolute power with which the
constitution clothes his office in time
of war, have in recent months fixed
the real headquarters of allied political
strategy in Washington.
In the meanwhile local troubles else
where have given added point to the
Washington leadership. In each allied
capital there have been outbreaks pc
culiar to those democracies which are
not safeguarded for war times as in
America, where people temporarily
but firmly delegate practically full
power to the head of the government.

The American Red Cross society,
ever increasing the scope of it's great
work for humanity, has organized a
bureau for the purpose of notifying by
personal letters relatives of our boys

the bureau will be in Paris, and the
information for the most part will
come from there. The value of such
service cannot be overestimated.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
United States lost SO vessels through
