ORGANIZED ALIENIsM

WE are not surprised at the reap
pearance of Mr.. George Sylvester
Viereck as head of an organization
calling itself the German-American
Citizen league, but we should be sur
rised if any responsible American cit
izen gave it countenance says the
Chicago Tribune editorially.
The self-styled league advertises
its character best by the Endorsement
of certain candidates for the United
States senate. All win this dubious
favor not because they stand for GER
tain consistent policies in American
affairs but because they are sup
posed to represent an attitude favor
able to Germany or hostile to nations
opposed to Germany. That a policy
favorable to Germany may not be
profitable to the United States, or a
policy inimical to nations opposed to
Germany may be Improbable to the
United States, Mr.. Viereck and his
league care not at all, The group
ing of Beveridge, Reed and La Fol-
lette illustrates Mr.. Viereck's view
point. No one who thinks in terms
of America would do that unless he
were ready for a padded cell. But
Democrats or Republicans, progress
sives or conservatives or radicals in
American domestic policy, all look
alike to Viereck because his view
point is German, not American, or at
any rate his object is to organize
German sentiment for his own ad-
vertisement.
The Viereck league is an insult to

R|D-US-OF-
REED CLUB
At tAADDDDON|AA

A Rid-us-of-Reed Club was organ
lied in Laddonia Thursday afternoon
by Mrs. J. 7. Johnson, of this city,
county organizer. Mrs. A. B. Hale
was elected president, Mrs. Hugh
Logan vice-chairman and Mrs. Han
cock secretary and treasurer. The
gathering was large and most en-
thusiastic one and there were fully as
many men in attendance as women.
Mrs. johnson addressed the meet
ing on the organization and Mrs. C.
E. Leeper spoke in behalf of Mr..
Long. Clay Mcclure and Miss
Louise johnson also were present
from Mexico.
when we entered the hall, where
the meeting was to be held, Mrs. Alice
Moss Ferris, who is delivering
speeches for Reed, was there" said
Mrs. johnson. "Mrs. Ferris stated
that the meeting was for the pur-
pose of organizing a Democratic Club
but we informed her that we had been
invited to Laddonia by the women of
the city especially to organize Rid
us-of-Reed club and that was the
purpose of the gathering.
"Mrs. Ferris then arose and an
nounced if that was the purpose of
the gathering she was not in sym
pathy with it and would leave. So
she and Joe Bomar and several women
left. The remainder of the large
crowd stayed and took an active part
in the organization"
Hugh Logan, prominent banker,
and Mr. Montague both spoke in
favor of Long. Mrs. johnson says
the gathering was most enthusiastic
over Mr.. Long.

by training young people to read the
newspapers intelligently and with

LLOYD GEORGE FACES

Will Reply on Hastings to Con-

London. Oct 11.-Prme Minister
Lloyd George has announced his in
tention of replying publicly at Man
chester on Saturday to the torrent of
Condemnatory criticism recently aimed
al the Near Eastern policy OF the gov
ernment. This sudden announcement
has taken the press by surprise and
also comedies with increased definite
ness in the rumors OF an early breakup
of the present coalition.
The improved outlook in the Near
East may have opened some inner
sources of information enabling the
political writer's to speak with greater
certainty than heretofore; AT any rate,
todays morning papers have the ap-
pearance OF those usually accompany
ing the last days OF a moribund gov
ernment and the early dissolution OF
parliament.
Necessarily a general election is
commonly discussed as a matter OF
more or less certainty. The opinion OF
the majority OF the political experts
however. is that Mr.. Lloyd George ha:
no intention Of resigninE and that he
will Gut up big fight on behalf OF
the coalition.
