Demands Respect
Flag and Uniform

United States Senator Knute Mel
son in urging the passage of the
Overman sedition bill reminded his
associates that drastic measures must
be looked at by Congress in broad
way. To those who oppose the pass
age of the measure he said: ga great
many things are occurring and have

but shut my eyes against them. |
cast all that aside. | am so eager to
he successful in this war and to put
our people into the proper spirit and
attitude for carrying it on that | am
even ready to swallow a BolsheS1ki
lion if he goes my way"
Strange as it may seem the Elll
has met with opposition from Sena-
tor Sherman of illinois,, the state
where a man was recently lynchnd
for alleged disloyalty. Senator Mel
son, addressing Senator Sherman
said: "T want a friendly talk with
YOU. The provision of this bill you
are attacking is intended to meet
the gospel of the l. w. w. What is
their gospel? 1t is to denounce our
government and our flag. Does the
senator want men of that kind to gn
abroad, with a tendency to Greats
riot and disturbances, so that the
good people, losing all patience. win
resort to such violence as took place
at Collinsville, ILL.,, few days ago?
I think that we ought to stop it;
that we ought to look at this ques-
tion in a broad way, and not in a
picayunish or Lilliputian way. We
ought to remember that the object
of the passage of this legislation is
not altogether to stop disloyalty, but
to prevent conduct such as will tend
to create and promote breaches OF
the peace, riots and other laNless-
ness"
continuing Senator Nelson said:
sI once wore the uniform Of the
United States and I never felt more
like fighting the confederates than
I did the men who sneered and spoke
contemptuously of the blue uniform
that | wore in those days. | do not
want any citizen, alien or native horn
to have the right to go on the str eets
of the cities Of this country and
speak with profane, contemptUous
language of the soldiers or the Uni
form or the flag of the United Sta les.
1T is intolerate. 1t leads to breach
of the peace, and it is our duty as
legislators to prevent it, that the
reign of lawlessness may not rre-
vail"
The senators discussed heatslly
the question of whether the ltw
should apply alike to citizens aud
aliens Senator Nelson insisted it
should.
"What difference does it make In
the matter of preventing a riot ?" We
demanded, eff the man on the curf
stones sees procession pass by with
the flag Of the United States At it's
head and he damns the flag, calls it
a dirty rag, damned dirty rag, what
difference does it make whether ae
is citizen of the United States Or
is an alien, neutral alien, or IN
enemy alien?"
Senator Nelson is right. This coun-
try's flag, uniform and governme 1T
are going to have the respect due
them if we have to hang every
damned rebel and traitor in the coul-
try.

MOTHERS OF MEN OR CLACKERS
(The Reveille)

We are indebted to Golfers for a
very apt story entitled, "The Clack-
ers." These are graduates of the
thimble bees, who have turned their
attention to war and spend their time
knitting for soldiers, ct the same
time lamenting the fact that they
have. to go to war. Yes indeed both
are worthy things, but the Clacker
does more. She or possibly he (for
it is with the deepest humiliation
that we grant the Clackers the honor
of the masculine Pronoun) sets up
a dismal wall of, "What a pity that
he must go in the prime Of life and
I know he will be killed and they
use such terrible methods, ar d if ne
does come back he'll be all crippled
or if not that his finer nature will
be blasted by hate which is just drill
ed into them. Really it's pity and
: / suppose you feel so badly, Mrs.
Brown, and those training camps are
filled with disease, pneumonia. May
be this minute your John has it and
| feel so sorry for you and they
haven't equipment enough. The food
asn't what he is accustomed to, and
She clothing is so poor that he can't
keep warm. Oh! how terrible it
seems know because have broth
ser at Camp Dodge and he says it is
terrible"
All this and more, the endless drone
goes on accompanied by the click OF
needles. A letter comes full of love
and pity. Here is the reason why it
makes it hard for us. Some times we
are cold; sometimes we don't like the
food, a breath of germ laden sand
burns and we are disappointed time
and again, for concentration camp
never was the height of a mans am
bition.
The letter from home stirs 3ne's
emotion quicker than his manhood
and sense of duty can smooth .hem
over for it is we who worry about
YOU. You pity US here, you pity US
there, begrudge us the very develop
ment of that best thing in us.
We are not suffering, but we crab.
We'd crab if we were quarantlned IN
the back yard of the White House
or we'd crab if we were fed on chick
en- giblets. We wouldn't be worth a
tinker's damn if we didn't crab, be-
cause that is the sign of the Ameri-
can spirit.
These are great days. The Coun-
try. the World, is seething cauldror
into which men are poured to be re-
moulded and God knows there is dross
enough.
There is no time for undivided
doubts and fears. We are face to face
with the problem Of reshaping the
world, it's morals, it's liberty, it's al
