VICTOR BERGER REELECTED.
Victor Berger, a criminal of a low
type, convicted of d~isloyalty, interior
ing with the draft and aiding the en-
emies of the United States during the
recent war, n under sentence to 20
years in the penitentiary, was re-
elected to congress by the Fifth mil
waukee) district of Wisconsin, Friday.
Berger was elected in 1918 but was
refused a seat in congress because of
his conviction of what was practical
ly treason. A special election was
called by the governor Of Wisconsin.
Berger, who is out on bonds, pending
appeal of his case, was a candidate
on the socialist ticket.
The democrats and republicans
fused" and nominated a candidate
against Berger, but the convicted
jority. AS congress will refuse to
seat him this will leave the Fifth con-
gressional district of Wisconsin with
out a member of congress-, for the gov

This gives an idea of German con-
troll in certain parts of the United
States. Milwaukee is peopled largely
by Germans. 1t was the leading beer
manufacturing center of the United
States for decades. "That which made
Milwaukee famous" is no longer made
there, but that which makes Milwau-
kee Infamous, still flourishes. The
German population of that disloyal dis
trict have Haunted in the face of Am
erican people their contempt for u
laws and our congress-. "How long,
oh Lord, how long, will the people
stand for this?
CONDEMNING THE PIONEERS.

When Jesus, the poSsessOr of a truth
that was in advance of his time, said
III the rulers daughter: "The maid
b not dead, but sleepeth," they
laughed him to scorn."
So laughed they at Columbus,
Frances Willard, Abraham Lincoln,
Mary Baker Eddy, Isaac Newton, and
all those who dared to dream for
world betterment. Let us be careful
of the witticisms that we would turn
on those whose vision is different
from or beyond ours. For these are
the people whose fame, like the fame
of the Christ, may yet go abroad
throughout all the land.
