DAY In the Senate IN criticism of the
war Department. dealing particula rly
Win what he termed the failure to
proVide adequate hospital facilities for
returned wounded soldiers and TO for
mulate definite plan for demobiliza-
tion.
The Senator repeated MANY of the
charges he made in his address at New
York soon after the nation entered the
war and in subsequent address in
me senate and said that information
that had come to light since had justi-
ned the statements he had made. Sem
ator Chamberlain's New York address
brought forth sharp statement from
~ to-day to that criticism. the Oregon
Senator said his purpose then and his
purpose now was to bring about an
Improvement in conditions
Senator Chamberlain, who was heard
ny crowded galleries, said the War
department now is pursuing with re-
gard to hospital facilities the same
diiatory tactics it did in the prosecu-
ton of the war many months ago.
IF the War Department" he de-
clared, paid one-half the attention TO
as they are to getting legislation
through Congress in order TO protect
contractors who made contracts for
war supplies over the telephone in vio-
iation or law. this matter would soon
be settled"
DEPEND on FRENCH AND
BRITISH FOR BIG GUNS
Senator Chamberlain read extensively
from the recent report OF General Per-
ShinS to support his assertion that de
spite the claim made last February
that thousands Of airplanes were being
shipped abroad and that the heavy
Hrdnance ore, situation was improving. it
forces to depend heavily on both the
French and British governments for
ai-planes and big guns
senator Chamberlain spoke OF the
report OF Charles Il. Hughes on the
aircraft production as additional evil
hence bearing OUT his charge OF inefi-
riencS: particularly referring to that
misleading statements had been made
on -uthor!ty OF the Secretary OF war
concerning the production of aircraft.

THE QUEER FELLOWS.

The idea seems to prevail with some people that it is not up to them to discover pro-Germans during these troublesome days. That it is none of their business if some cusses speak their minds in seditious manner. Those with that idea never committed graver errors as Section of the Espionage act shows. That section reads:
 Whoever harbors or conceals any person who he knows or has reasonable grounds to be- lieve or suspect, has committed, or is about to commit, an offense under this title shall be punished by fine of not more than $1O,O0O or by imprisonment for not more than two years or both -
 From that it is the duty of every person knowing or suspecting certain person or persons of being enemy of our country through acts or expressions, to not only report the enemy or enemies, but report others who may have heard expressions or seen acts of the enemy, or suffer the penalty prescribed in the above.
 Candidly is it not about time we should act ? What are we waiting for? Are we waiting until patience ceases to be virtue. It might be too late then.

A change altogether different from the spirit of former loans. America has at last awoke, seemingly Everybody not enemy took hand School children and all. One and all ex- hlbited devotion, a determination extremely impressive; and it marked the full awakening of mighty people; opened their eyes to the magni- tude of the task ahead, fixed their determination to accomplish it with the spirit that has never been conquered.

If you will succeed cultivate will-power. It is not a gift of heredity, and it may be acquired as easily as the habit of loafng It is well worth the effort. With the will-power you can clean your lot, your back yard, and incidentally, plant garden. Some there are who prefer lawn to garden where they can raise vegetables. Those people should be made to feed on grass next fall instead of vegetables. At least that is the way we feel about that when we see a nice plot of ground just growing grass.

THE ONLY RESPECT DUE THEM.

In the trial of the l. W. W. at Chicago going on now, it has been proven, and has been admit ted in many confessions that at least many of the agitators among them arc paid emissaries of Germany
 The I. w. w. will never have the respect of the American citizens save that perhaps which is always accorded the dead. The I. w. w. organization has placed itself without the pale of law-abiding, God-fearing and patriotic citizens for all time for the obstacles it has placed before the onward march of freedom. And it is to be hoped that we shall not forget this when the war is over.
