SPROUTS KEYNOTE

lFrom the Philadelphia PreSS.J
Senator Sprouts opening speech
in Lehigh county on Saturday put
the campaign in Pennsylvania on a
rectly stated the loyal and patriotic
services of the Republican party in
the war. All that was said had the
enthusiastic endorsement of one of
the largest gatherings of citizens
recently brought together in that
Democratic county.
1t is n grievous disappointment to
scheming Democratic politicians that
their campaign plans for the year
to put the Republican party in a
false position respecting the war and
impeach its loyalty have dismally
and deservedly failed. No party in
any condition of the country ever
rendered stronger support to the
Government than the Republican
party has rendered in Congress and
out, in its press and by all it's peo-
pie. The first purpose with all is to
win the war, and to strengthen the
Government in every way to that
end.
Not only did Senator Sproul con-
clusively demonstrate this in his ad-
dress, but at the time he was speak
ing an impressive demonstration of
the fact was given in the House of
Representative at Washington where
the man-power bill was under con-
sideration. An attempt was made
to amend the measure and destroy
one of the administrators import
ant provisions. The effort was de-
feated and the administration provi-
sion saved by the votes of majority
of Republican members, while a ma
JOrity of Democrats recorded them =
selves against the administration. To
this significant fact is added another
equally significant, that the floor
management of the bill was in the
hands of Republican member.
1t would be an unfortunate situa-
ton for the President himself, and
seriously impair the effectiveness of
the administrations war work If
Democratic politicians could succeed
in their unpatriotic purpose to make
a campaign issue of the war. The
President himself must realize this.
In spite of his own ever-active parti-
sanship, some of the more important
war work is being done by Repub-
licans. All are ready for service; all
are quick to respond to every de-
mand. The majority of Republicans
in Congress are a more reliable sup
port of Administration war measures
than a majority of Democrats.
AS Senator Sproul made clear,
nothing will better unite the senti-
ment of the country in common ef-
fort and strengthen the administra-
ton in popular confidence than a Re-
publican majority in the next Con-
gress. 1t is the duty of Pennsylvania
to contribute all that Is possible to
that end.

PUNISH THEM

DoBERT II SMALL, writing
IN from Washington to the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger, strikes
a popular chord when he asserts
trat "tns great German peace drive
of the coming fall and winter Is to
be met In America at least. by an
implacable sentiment that the men of
Berlin and Vienna responsible for
the war and all It's Hunnish cruelty
shall pay the supreme penalty for
their unspeakable crimes against
humanity"
The thought is not new, and It has
been gaining In force recently, Never
before, however, has 1t been put in
concrete term by a newspaper of the
Ledger's circulation and influence.
Mr.. Smalr3 presentation Of the sub
ject is forccful and timely. There Is
no longer any doubt about the will
Of the American people regarding
the final settlement with Bill of
Potsdam and his gang, All Amer;-
can soldiers overseas and their back
ers at home are determined that the
punishment of the Prussian blood
hounds shall At their crime. Any
false peace or negotiated" settle
ment on the basis of territory or in
IDENTITIES will not satisfy the Ameri-
can people. They are going to fight
this thing through to a finish that
will mean tho wiping out of the men
who are responsible for having pre-
cipitated upon the world this welter
of blood and suffering. No surren-
der at the Rhine will do. The fight
ing men of the allied nations are
going to avenge their comrades on
the soil OF Germany and the Kaiser
and his obsessed minions may as
well9understand this now as later.
Pruss!an militarists may declare in
their usual bombastic style that they
will defend the Fatherland" to the
last man SO long as they have breath,
but if we are to Judge from the way
they havo been racing toward the
Rhine in France their boastings are
for homo consumption only.
There may be here and there an
American so soft-hearted and weak
kneed thai he is willing to make
peace with this bloodthirsty and in
human crew on any terms, but he
must be extremely lonesome in
the average American community.
When Harrisburg men of family and
those elsewhere whose brothers have
already made the supreme sacrifice
in France join with their wives in
asking release from exemption in or
der that they may go overseas TO
avenge their brethren, the paciftst
must understand that there is to be
no trifling with the American peo-
pie.
Our day of hesitation and watch
full waiting and procrastination is
past. We mean to kill this beast on
his own dunghill and our leaders at
Washington would do we'll to cor
rectly interpret the thought and pur-
post of the people. Let us not de-
ceive ourselves for one moment. We
are fighting an enemy that knows
no pity, is without honor and out
side the pale of civilization.

evenings working out few new lines.

expectations of many independent
