Prior to this accusation the same thing, in different words, had been put forth by one of the McAdoo medicine men who perform incantations in the ad- ministration press. Neither of the accusers has advanced any specifica- tions to sustain the charge. No names have been mentioned—for the very good reason, we assume, that the law of libel has not yet been suspended If Speaker Clark or Secretary McAdoo or any other leader of the Democratic party has substantial reason to believe that a concerted effort was made to handicap the Liberty Loan, in Wall Strget or anywhere else, it is a public duty to lodge the information with the Department of Justice to begin prosecution. The fact is that there is no basis for such an opinion. Wall Street, with all of its sins, is not guilty in this case. On the contrary, Wall Street and the institutions and corporations which Wall Street represents have done far more than their allotted part in making both Liberty Loans successful, not only by the subscription of their .own, funds, but by securing the subscriptions qt others and by giving the séfvlces' ‘of their foremost executives to help the muddled treasury department put over a job which was manifestly too big for the desering Democrats who now infest the executive departments at Washington. And after making the charge Clark apologized after the bankers went after him' hot and heavy. APOLOGIZING FOR “INFORMATION BUREAU” In an article undated, at Washington, written by Edward B. Clark and published in the Publishers’ Auxiliary, the whitewash brush is freely applied to the committee on public information, one of the administration’s ideas, with George Creel as the boss “informant,” appears the following: The committee on public information has been engaged BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER - J.

Great snakes! Did the people of the United States have to wait un- til this “committee on public information” was ready to report on the reasons WHY the United States was at war? ' Did we have to obtain that information from THAT committee? What was there so difficult in let- ting the people know why the United States is in the war? Couldn't the government authorities give it out in the customary manner of news? Bunk! Pure bunk! Ask any NEWSPAPERMAN in the country. We claim & newspaperman knows as much about the newspaper game as a man who is NOT a newspaperman. = IIIIIII||||||||I|I|||II|IIIIIlIIlIIIIIIIIII|III|IIIIIII||IIII||IIIII|ll|II||||IlII|||llIII|||I||III||III|IIIIIIIIIIIIlIl'IIIIIIII||IIIIIIIIIIIII|IIIIlllIIIIIIIIII||lI|lIlIIII|IIIIIIIIIII[I[II[I’!’I‘I!IIIIIIIIE Perrin’s Gloves at = $1.50 to $3.00 e Exclusive Agents for Betty Wales Dresses v \ Exclusive Womens and Misses Outer Appare “Phone 850.

W. paper, the Alarm, who was in- dicted by the Hennepin county grand jury three weeks ago on a charge of violating state military laws, will be deported to Sweden as an undesirable alien. The order came from Washington. Merely another instance of what the United States has been allowing in this country. Here is an alien who was allowed to conduct a disturb- ance-making publication under the noses of the loyal citizens of the United States. He has been afforded protection while preaching treason. An alien agitator of lawlessness being allowed to publish a newspaper in the United States for Americans is almost beyond comprehension. Deportation is good medicine for him and hundreds more deportations should follow. This country is no .place for kaiser-loving aliens, nor other aliens who recognize no law of the land. An American who would attempt to pub- lish a newspaper in Germany attacking the kaiser and Prussianism would be executed in about 30 seconds for treason. % $16.67 $20.00 $23.33 $26.67 $s0 * a $33.33 $76 o $60.00 All Other Priced Suits at 33 1-3 per cent Discount.

He also thinks L L that handsome is that handsome does, and that it will be a_sorry day for the Boche when he goes up against the American army. All this is pleaé- ing to our national pride; and when the test comes we shall have proof that it is truth and not taffy. Since it became known that Von Bernstorff asked his government for $50,000 to “influence Congress,” many members of that body are wonder- ing if that really was Von's estimate of their price. i i Underwear Specials Special Saturday $1.25 White Fleece Union Suits - - =« Women'’s Fibre Silk Hosiery | $2.50 White Merino Union Suits - - - $2.19 In Black, Tan and Grey | 75¢ Children’s V. & P- Colors Special Odd Sizes - - - - 49 $2.50 Mercerized Cotton arhis Union Suits - - $ 3 -29 Desirable Styles Values to $7 IllllllIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIII.IIlI!lIlIIlIIIlIII]lll!llllll!lllll.llllllIlllIIIlIlll_lIIIllll_llllll[lllllll[lll “What are we fighting for?” ask the obstructionists, just as seriously as if they imagined they really had a hand in the fighting, instead of do- ing every thing possible tb prevent it.
