from Congress for Disloyai!y
Victor Berger, the only Soclai,
list in Congress, has been expelled
for disloyalty, and his expulsion
meets with national approval.
He is a German resident OF
Milwaukee, in district in which
there is a large majority among
the voters of German descent.
Democrats and Republicans In
nnitv voted against him, only one
vote being cast against his ex-
nuIsion. Berger had shown a
great deal of hostility by words
and acts towards the U. 5. gov
eminent, and he had been re-
peatedIy warned against It, ou'
persisted in his disioyalty.
The patience of the govern
ment and the people has beer
sorely tried by such malcontent'
who mistake freedom of speecf
for license for disloyalty. Thl'
act is the beginning of reckon
ing with these sort OF fellows
| and we would warn a few ina
we have heard of in Grant parlsl
that they had better watch thei
stem and avoid punishment.

To Sweet Potato Growers.

Sweet potatoes intended for the cur.
ing plant should be freshly dug from
reasonably dry groud and the graded
potatoes put into the crates in the field.
Keep potatoes that are muddy, cut, OIL
bruised at home. Potatoes already dug
should be banked instead of bringing
them to the house. Potatoes intended
for the curing house should under nc
circumstances be handled in anything
but standard crates.
