CONGRESS STANDS LOYAL

The case of Socialist Member Vic
tor L. Berger, who was elected in Mil
waukee Fifth district at the last elec-
ton, was decided in the House of Re-
representatives., on Wednesday last
when by a unanimous vote, except
one, the House barred Berger from
taking his seat, and declined that q
vacancy exists. Congressman Voight
of the Sheboygan-Dodge district, was
the sole member who favored Berger's
seating. Berger was indicted on a
charge of sedition, or disloyalty to his
country in time of war, tried by jury
found guilty and sentenced to TWEEN
ty years in federal prison. He appeal.
ed to higher court and the finding
is pending. Congress did justice tc
the soldiers and other patriotic peo-
pie of the whole country by refusing
to seat the convicted socialist.
Now his socialist cohorts of Mil
waukee have again nominated Berger
as their candidate to be voted for at &
special election soon to be held. Only
union of loyal political forces car
hope to defeat him. The country al
large looks to Milwaukee patriots tt
bury political differences and join il
the election of member which spell:
defeat for Berger.

WANT TO APE THE TEACHER
Personal Example Perplexities on Ed
ucatiOnal Pupils

The school board of Milwaukee are
up against it in their scrap to do away
with the tendency of girls dressing
similarly to chorus girls. They made
an effort to prevent the girls from
wearing silk stockings, but the moth
ers come back at them with the asser-
ton that silk stockings are as cheap
as any others and much prettier.
That is along the same line as the
school faculty in Lone Rock, who made
an effort to prevent the use by pupils
of the high school of so much paint
and face powder. They were advised
by mothers that when they found it
possible to prevent the example set in
that line by the members of the fac
ulty, they would try and see that the
girls curtailed it's use. And so it goes.

barber of Soldiers Grove. Figuring
the space shaved on three men as
about one square foot Haffa found
that in twenty years he cut 1860
acres of whiskers in various stages
Of growth. He figured only "once
over" while for a big majority of the

over twice.

MAKES, EARNEST PLEA
FOR NATIONS LEAGUE


Valparaiso, Saturday, March Is
A plea for the league of nations was
made by Augustin Edwards former
premier and former minister in Lon
don, at a banquet given in his honor
last night Senior Edwards, who has
Just returned from London, said:
There never was an epoch in the
history of Chile when it was so ne
cessarv that every patriot should sup
port the government and enable it to
take its place in the new organiza-
tons which yesterday were consider
ed unattainable ideals. Only those
who are heartless or who have never
the horrors of this war
can doubt the blessing of league OF
nations. 1t is an ideal but it is an
ideal for which millions have died.
THE day is coming when we will
be asked to join and must join the
league as now formed or slightly
amended. No Chilean patriot can
view without satisfaction and pride
the opportunity given us to unite with
the nations which have suffered TO
preserve civilization. Two of the
great nations on which rests the Sc
turity of the world have Pacific
coasts, the United States and the
British empire. We may have fun
confidence that the spirit which i'm
pels both countries as well as the
perfect understanding between them
is a guarantee for the American con-
tinent"
