United States SenatOr.....
Assemblyman Thomas Raps LaFollette

That Assemblyman Griff Thomas
of Iron and Villas counties is back of
the government in the great struggle
was foTcibly made known TO the men,
bers of the assembly on the occasion
of the adoption of the resolution con-
demning Senator La Toilette for his
unpatriOtic stand, when, in his maid
EN- speech, Mr.. Thomas paid his com
pliments to the senior senator and de-
liyered a speech which gained favor
able comment from the press as well
as his colleagues. The Madison State
Journal printed the following com
ments and parts of his speech:
Assemblyman Thomas, the new
member from Iron and Villas coun-
ties, in his maiden speech in the leg
islature, commanded the admiration
of all-even of the 0ppositiOn-b by his
eloquent appeal for the adoption of
the Wilcox amendment. He declared
the question asked by Otto was of
great importance.
"The senior senator from Wiscon-
sin has caused an impression to go
out to the world that the state of Wis
cOnsin and some of its most import
ant officials are not in sympathy with
the war;" he said. "But the most
important one is none other than

Thomas closed his remarks by re-
ferring TO the Wisconsin boys as well
as those of other states now in the
trenches. His own brother is among
them, and he declared in dramatic
manner. 1--WE stand for one God, one

Marjorie Rambeau in
MOTHERHOOD
a classic war drama
a classic war drama

If you would see the battieGelds of
war-the battletields just as they are
today in foreign lands if you would
all but hear the laundering of the
mighty machine guns. the singing of
the lying shrapnel, the thud of falling
earth, the means and cries of wound
ed men-yOu may see them with all
the vivid action of living war in the
Mutual Film Corporations stirring
picture play of war. Motherhood, ;"
in which Miss Marjorie Rambeau
plays the leading part.
There is much of the small encopnt-
er, the ENHANCEMENT in the wire, the
short pithy exchange of rifle tire on
the battle plains. There are the long
weary marches through rain and mud.
There are the days of hunger and
misery. There are the days and nights
in the trenches without sleep and
without ample protection from the
elements. And most spectacular of
all, there are the great battles with
their toll of life.
Many of the scenes were taken in
France. They are real and depict
the actualities of war as every one
will know when they see them. There
could be no more accurate pict of
what is today transpiring in Europe

Camp Meigs, Washington, D. C.,
 Feb. 27, 1918. Prescott Daily News:
 Gentlemen: Please transfer my daily paper from Camp Custer, Mich, to here, as this is to be my location until further notification. Will prob ably leave here within a short time for some other camp as this is only a distribution camp. May go over seas. Our trip from Camp Custer was very interesting, coming via Detroit, Buffalo and Baltimore. Travelled about six hours in Canada, and received a warm welcome at each town.
 Our camp here is very small and is composed entirely of quartermasters about four thousand being stationed here now.
 Weather here is considerably milder than Camp Custer, and everything in- dicates that our stay here will be very pleasant. A few minutes ride car ries us into the heart of Washington. With best regards to all I remain,

Zeno was the name Of the old man,
and when told the bank had failed he
spent hours around the door, as if he
hoped in that way to get his money.

and the receiver announced that the
depositors would be paid in alphabet

made in figuring, and when they got
down to VS. the money gave out and
zeno lost his savings.

saved for a few months and had lit

U. S. BODY PAYS BILLS
National AntI.saloon League to Fin,
ance $40 Separate Campaigns In
MInnesota-Rumor Nailed.

The Anti-Saloon League Of Amer
ica has contracted to spend $4,000
during the year in the campaign to
make Minnesota dry. .+ ...-...
The National League is already
paying into the campaign treasury
Of the Minnesota Anti.saloon League
$500 per month and will shortly
double and later treble this monthly
contribution. Besides this, a large
number OF the strongest speakers
in the United States will campaign
the state, speaking in every section.
This will all be done at the expense OF
the national organization, which will
also furnish tons Of literature to the
state League. backing the work Of
the drys of the state up to the limit!
Because a part of this money will
be raised In Minnesota. the vets are
circulating the yarn that the Ma
tional League is exploiting the state
for the benefit Of its own treasury.
This Is a German camoufage. The
national organization will be lucky
indeed if it manages eventually to
get back from the state one-half Of
the funds it spends in aiding the dry
campaign In the state. It will cost
some real money to launch $50 sep
arate campaign rallies in Minnesota,
which the national organization has
arranged at its own expense. ~
As to the cooperation of the drys
throughout the state, there is no. diff
ficulty. The Minnesota Anti-Saloon
League, like all state Leagues, Is a
federation of the UNCONVENTIONAL
bodies Of the state, each of which
appoints members of the board of
Directors of the League. Manifestly,
the League federation could not
destroy itself by merging 1t into
some other so called federation. But
It, car and will cooperate to the hilt
with any other organization, Of what.
ever name, that is working to ratify
the constitutional amendment sub
mitted by Congress and pass the dry
amendment submitted to the people
of the Legislature. ~ -
