those Of two members Of the Lamberton
Post Of the American Legion, who vol
unfairly entered military service during
the World war and whose Americanism
is absolutely aboves reproach. At a
recent meeting Of the Lamberton Post,
resolutions were adopted, taking issue
with the super patriotic editor Of the
Star in his fragrant treatment OF the
two World war veterans referred to-,
calling him to account fol, his malicious
publication of their names in the manner

refrain from doing so in future. This is
but one instance Of where the, cratic

the resistance Of the raided may have
that effect. s5
Whether. the I. W. W., is a meri-
torious organization or moi, whether
it is unpopular or otherwise, should have
nothing to do with the case. The
reports of the evidence at the coroner's
Jury show that the attack was made
before the firing started. If that is
true, I commend the boys inside for the
action they took.
1'The fact that there were some
American Legion men among the para
ders who everlastingly disgraced them
selves by taking part in the raid, does
not affect my judgment in the least.
Any one who becomes party to mob
bent upon unlawful violence, cannot
expect the truly patriotic men Of the
American Legion to condone his acts

Wbut Is A Radical?

A long-haired, low-browed, evil-eyed
person armed either with a torch, a
bomb or bundle of propaganda tied
up in a red fag-such is the picture
which the editorial writer's, as well as
the cartoonists of the city papers and
magazines, give us of the radical. But
at the same time they will indicate that
this is not the meaning Of the word at all
by applying it to any men or organiza-
lions urging some fundamental change.
The term originated in England
many years ago when new party,
called at first Independents, criticized
both the Wings and the Tories as being
too superficial. The Independents de-
clared that the problems of the day
could be met only by getting down to
the roots of these questions. The
English word radical comes from the
Latin word meaning root. Thus these
Englishmen who differed with super
fetal policies became known as radicals.
Few will deny that most people are,
or at least have been, superficial IN re-
gard to public matters. They allow
those Who have some special reason
for taking an interest in public affairs
to manage them. These managers get
what they want and let things in general
slide along. The public pays the bill
for superficial management. But every
generation or two the bill comes too high
low wages, starvation, farm tenancy
and farm abandonment cause the peo-
pie to become more serious and they
begin to believe there is good deal in
what the radicals are saying about funda-
mental changes being necessary tomeet
radical or fundamental problems.
The real radical then is not a bomb
thrower but one who sees things more
seriously than the general public and
advocates Serious remedies. Every one
knows, for instance, that the dissolu-
ton of the Standard Oil trust and. several
others was superficial joke on the
public, but only the radical protests
Or has a serious remedy for the trust
problem. The superficial politicians, on
the other hand, try to make all advocates
of serious solutions appear as enemies
Of law and order. They apply the worst
features of few desperate-thinking
individuals to the whole class of serious
people. .... .-#.

ELLSWORTH and The Farmers. !.

According to a front-page story OF our
esteemed contemporar. Franklin r.
Ellsworth, at present congressman from
this district, is to be the gubernatorial
candidate of the Nonpartisan League
in the republican primaries. The story
referred to is based upon reliable in
formation from inside the Townley
camp to quote from the contemporary
article. '5
How reliable this information is,
we do not pretend to know, but will
leave it to those who know the publisher
best, to judge the truth Of fiction thereof.
What we do know, however, is, that
the members of the Nonpartisan League
in Brown county will not support Mr..
Ellsworth in his gubernatorial aspira-
tions, in view Of the insults he heaped
upon those residents of the county WHO
happen to be OF German descent or
extraction, shortly before the United
States entered the World war.
If there is any possibility Of Mr.. Ellis
worth being the choice of the, leaders Of
the Nonpartisan League for candidate
for governor, this choice will not meet
with favor among the gerat majority
of League members. Without any at
tempt at debating the policies or atti-
tude of the League, it seems that more
acceptable candidate could be selected.
But before becoming unduly excited
about the matter, We shall await official
word from League headquarters.

of the world peace conference, made the
rather stupid error of rnistahng change
in phraseology for a change of heart.

A Tlmely Warming.

Franklin D'Olier, national commander
Of the American Legion, has spoken the
word which was absolutely necessary for
the welfare Of his organization. He
warns local posts that they have no right
''to take the law into their own hands or
interfere with proper authority z
.sIn times of need and emergency"
said D'Oler, we members Of the Ameri-
can Legion stand ready as individuals, to
support, strengthen and speed up, if
necessary, the civil authorities charged
with the maintenance Of law and order
. : $ 9 but always in accordance with
competent authority, which we. realize
now is civilian and not military and origi-
mates in the Constitution Of the United
States as expressed through national,
state and local governments. Z s.s
Reactionary interests have played
upon the credulity Of the returned soldiers
in many places to get them to perform
acts Of mob violence and interference
with free speech. The boys were PEI
suaded that America was threatened I'M
less certain things which the reactionaries
wanted done were performed. Men in
all walks Of life have become Thoroughly
alarmed at the growth of this power
outside the law. Perhaps the COM
mander's message will be sufficient to

Victor Berger's reelection to congress
by majority of 1906 Of the voters of
his district presents a knotty problem
to congress. The question they must
decide is whether a district has a right
to be represented by any one it chooses
to select. And according to our theory
Of government the district has this right,
but that is what makes the problem.
That it may make considerable Of a
fight is indicated by the following edi-

which might be considered as the organ
