Miles Out.
Ev the Associated Press.

of the American export liner Ex-
,cambion, arriving today from Mediter-
ranean ports. reported his boat had
been boarded at sea August by
Spanish Loyalist officers from a sub
marine which first fired a shot across
the freighter's bow to halt her.
The captain, w. W. Kuhne, said the
government submarine followed his
vessel for two hours in the darkness
off Cape de Gata, off the Spanish
Coast, apparently in the belief she was
rebel vessel, or carrying fleeing in
surrectionists from the civil war.
After he had assured the submarines
officers Of his neutrality and his papers
had been examined, Capt. Kuhne re-
lated, he was allowed to proceed.

TOO MANY DEMAGOGUES SEEK
HIGH PUBLIC OFFICE.

This newspaper must confess that II
has a growing distrust and suspicion
of all those candidates for public Of
flee who promise everything from q
to lizard If the voters will only elect
them to office. Some of them boast
long and loud of the support they have
always given or will give, if elected, to
every hairbrained scheme ever pro-
posed by anyone to give slice OF the
state or federal treasury to someone
for nothing. They are willing to give
away what doesn't belong to them,
willing to shell out to every clique or
clan if by SO doing they think they
will be able thereby to secure few
more votes.
Such a stand, when preached frcm
the housetops necessarily, becomes
nauseating. 1t is SO patiently demo-
gogic and done for the purpose of
vote-getting. If one counters with the
argument that perhaps the man is sin
cere and believes in the wisdom of
such policies, then the answer is that
such man must be sorely lacking in
judgment and knowledge of history
otherwise he would know that some
day some one has to pay for all this
free giving and that large part of the
paying must, of necessity, come from
the pockets of the common man. A
man who is constantly and without
ceasing ever and always telling how
willing he is to give additional gifts
to some minority group surely does not
deserve a seat in the United States
congress or even in state legislature.
One can overlook lack Of intelli-
gence but one does not elect that type
OF Individual to represent one in con-
gress or to make our laws for us. And
there is no excuse for the low-type
demogogic politician who plays upon
the cupidity of the voters in order to
improve his own political position.
May the good Lord deliver us in flu
ture campaigns from the glad hand
boys, the easy promisers and the free
givers of the public's money.

ARMISTICE DAY THOUGHTS

Armistice Day, next Wednesday, re-
ton by the men and women who took part
in the World War.
1t is a day set aside for the glory of
the illustrious dead, the patriots who gave
their lives for the country which they
loved. No matter what impelled them, the
sacrifice they made cannot be exceeded
by others alive today. 1t is well that
nation stops in its busy rush to pay tri-
butte to the sailors, soldiers, marines, nurses
and others who perished
On the occasion of Armistice Day
there is another class of citizens entitled to
special consideration at the hands of this
Republic. This group includes the wound
ed and the families of those who died, leav-
ing dependent wives, mothers and children
without adequate means of support. They
should not be permitted to suffer-not as
long as there is a member of the American
Legion or any other legion to fight their
cause.
Unfortunately the suspicion exists in
the minds of many citizens that the sur
viving veterans of the war are not as
deeply concerned with the welfare of this
last-named group as they should be. The
hardly-concealed insinuation is that strong,
healthy and hale veterans are today more
concerned with what surviving veterans
can get from the government than they
are with the welfare of fatherless children
and husbandless wives, the real victims of
the war that did not end war;
We do not make the charge as to To-
cal veterans on the anniversary of the ces-
satiOn of hOstilities some eighteen years
ago. Until it is clearly and incontrovert-
ably established by the record, we hesitate
to believe it possible, but, with reverence
to the dead and sympathy to their living
dependents, we think that Armistice Day
is good time to take public notice of
suspicion that is to be answered only by
the future conduct of the living survivors
of great war.

LIBERTY UNDER THE CONSTITUTION
plymouth, Wis, Review

plymouth, Wis, Review
Today certain critics subjecting the Am
ercan Constitution to vigorous attack. They are
saying it is outmoded and unable to cope with
modern conditions. And they are suggesting
changes and amendments which, in some cases,
would amount to complete emasuIation of the
rights and liberties we now enjoy under Constitu-
tional protection.
Let us not be too hasty about changing this
document of which major portion is devoted to
protecting rights and liberties. The constitu-
ton has been amended many times, and may be
again, but never in such manner as to abridge
the rights of freedom of speech, freedom of the
press, and the other nalienabIe rights guaranteed
within it.
1t is usually easier to criticize than to defend,
and the critics of the Constitution have found
many listeners and not few converts. Lest we
forget the virtues of this marvellous document let
us recall the words uttered in 1878 by England's
greatest statesman, William Gladstone:
1.-THE American Constitution is, as far as L
can see, the most wonderful work eyer struck off
at given time by the brain and purpose of man."
Some things are timeless. Among those
things are freedom-freedom of action within the
law freedom Of expression, freedom of speech. The
Constitution has nothing to do with boonis or de-
presions- nothing to do with politics,
nor have those who interpret it, the Supreme Court
of the United States.
The Constitution guarantees us those essen
tial liberties for which men fought for thousands
II n
many, Russia, Italy Poland give for a con-
stitution such ours? 1t is our most priceless
heritage, and we have duty to posterity to pass
on to them the same liberties which were handed
down to us.
