Not content with printing matter of fA decidedly seditious tone, John Na daluki of Dickinson writes a letter to The ‘Tribune in his best Bornstorfian style, asking ‘The ‘Pribane to retract all it has said tn criticism of the at fitude of the Nord Dakota Horold It bs pathatic how Home Members of the Gorman press try to quibble and hedge when their loyalty ts chal fonged.

But when the tide seemed definitely to turn, when Kngland at last had iw 4K army in the field, when the allies exceeded the Germans not only in mep, but in guns and shells, suddenly the peace advocates came to life, with # nolse which has redoubled since this country entered the war. In brief, when Germany seemed on| the point of winning, our precious pro. fessional peace advocates kept their ys¢ly shut. In recent months, ids are against (he kaiser, advoc mouths ¢ when the our wane preclous peace bledt all over the place. Why? ‘The answer is easy. A peace advocate who scorns peace when Germany is winning and yells his head off for peace when Germany in losing, is just as German as the tle is playing the German Kaiser, game, An advocate of peace for such a plrate crew is doing Germany's dirty work, and all his fine sentiments and highfalutin speeches cannot conceal the fact.

But he will have to be watched, neverthe- less, He is the sort to harbor revenge, and as he feels hatred and distrust toward both Bascom and myself, we cannot be too careful, I shall have to tell Leayord the whole story.” “Lenyord?" “The man I named for first officer; he ts standing abaft the foremast yon- der.” ‘ “The second officer 1s a Swede?” “Yes; rather young, but I like his face, and he, seems to have the re- spect of the men.” ‘I turned and gazed Into the face of the compass, already lighted. “What is your name?” I asked of the black at the wheel. “Watson, sah; Charles Watson.” “Well, Watson, let her head fall off a couple of points—that’s it, my man, Is this the signal cord to the engine room?” He nodded, the whites of his eyes showing oddly, and I rang for an in- erease of speed.

No sogner had he been overwhelmed by the vote on the food bill than he offered'the amazing peace resolution demanding that the United States and her allies contribute to a joint fund of all the belligerents to pay for the devastation Germany had uscd in France, Belgium, and Ser- bia, and everywhere else where. her armies have been. If-that resolution ;enemy there is.nothing that ever will please. that enemy. Of course, La | Follette did not intend’to give com- fort and aid, for he-is no traitor. He is just La Follette without the slignt- est capacity to take an impersonal ‘or broad view of anything under heaven. It is a reasonable inference that he did not really think of. help- ing Germany by that resolution or by anything else that he has done or said, because he cannot see so far off as Germany. He cannot see beyond Wisconsin and La Follette. What ne has scen and heard or thinks that he! has seen and heard in Wisconsin} makes him believe that this war is going to be an unpopular war in Am- erica and that by opposing it at the outset, and all the time, he will event- ually reap the political benefit of hav- ing been from the start on what he thinks is going to be the popular side | sometime in the future.

In other words, La Follette. thinks he is already running for the presi- dency in 1920 on an anti-war issue, and it is a part of his campaign to. make the war unpopular now. Just why he wants the United States to pay for Germany's destruction of ci- ties is not so clear. But La Follette is queer as well as very personal. - Then there is Gronna of North .Da- kota, ‘ His ‘seat in’ the senate ts right next to La Follette’s, They whisper together. Perhaps that explains Gron- na sufficiently. But there are other terms of dollars and cents and acres of land. He owns 18,000 acres of farms, 10,000: aeres of this in wheat. | He-opposed the food. bill, Perhaps. it was because he feared’ that its pass- age would mean a smaller return on that wheat. But, except on the sub- ject of his land and its returns to his pocket, Gronna gives voice to no ideas whatever. He is dominated by La Follette. [f Gronna had happened to get a seat beside somebody else, somebody who whispered patriotism to him, he might have been for war, if it didn’t cost too much. A, com- paratively friendly oriticism of Sen- ator Gronna from a fellow-member of congress. is this: “Gronna doesn’t know what any of these national and international ques- tions mean. They don't mean, any- thing to him. He has had a life of hard work in acquiring thousands of acres of land and has come down to Washington to rest.’ ‘SEEK CURE OF ELECTROLYSIS Government Experts Ald in Installing System to Prevent Damage to i Metal Structures, | —————9 KINTYRE Richard Kent & Co., will show in Kintyre August 25th and August 27th. ‘The damage done annually to under | ground pipes, cables and other metal | structures in this country by electroly- ; sis amounts to many millions of dol- | lars. There are very few water, gas | or lead cable systems that are net! more or less subject at some points to electrolytic damage from stray cur- rents. Moreover, the loss does not consist merely in the shortening of | the life of such structures; electroly-} tic damage is one of the causes of ‘the | leakage of water and gas from distrib- | ution systems. The failure of such | systems on account of electrolytic ac- | tion may also involve various dangers | to the life and heaith of human beings. | According to the bureau of standards more than 25 separate and distinct} methods of dealing with the electroly- | sis problem have been proposed and | experimented with from time to time. | Some of these methods are uscless, oF | even harmful, The bureau of stand- | ards has been studying the subject of | electrolysis mitigation for the last six, years, and has aided in installing com- | plete mitigative systems in several | cities. The bureau makes somewhat | detailed tests in each of these places | ubout once a year to make sure that the protective systems are being prop- | ; erly maintained.
