No patriotic citizen eager to do all that the stay at homes may do to help win the war, can fail heartily to commend the work being carried for- ward by the library war council, re- cently appainted by Secretary of War Newton D. Baker. This work is to raise in conjunction with the Ameri- can Library association $1,000,000 for the erection and establishment of equipped libraries for the camps, can- tonments, the field hospitals, the troop ships; wherever our soldiers and sail- ors are gathered together. Popular subscriptions for this work are coming in so readily that it is plain that in spite of the $100,000,060 Red Cross fund, the tobacco fund, cost of the Y. M. C. A. activities and oth- ers, American generosity, stimulated by a sense of duty, has by no means reached its limits. When the German army took the field, each army corps had traveling | libraries as part of its material. Great| Britain and France have provided fit reading matter for their soldiers, through various societies. Through the appointment of the library war} council by the secretary of war, with Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the National City bank of.New York, as chairman, the American task of pro- viding libraries takes on an official character, though the w will be that entirely of volunteer: Not a penny of the money s scribed will be used in the expenses of the library campaign; that cost has} been met by private subscription. The} libraries, the books, the service will be the gift of the American people; and in such a cause as this it were} well to remember that “he gives twice who gives quickly.” THE CASE OF LAFOLLETTE, (Aberdeen News.) The civil war had its Vallandigham.| The great war h: LaFollette. The ‘News has never been much of} an admirer of |.aFollette. In the days; when the Wisconsin senator was as- sured by the political powers that he was the choice of South Da- kota republicans for the presiden- tial nomination, the News expressed doubt if that were the case, and doubt of the wisdom of that choice if it should. be made. Fortunately for South Dakota, the powers that were afterward reconsidered, and the colo- nel, instead of the Wisconsin senator, was chosen. The News, in common with many other conservative newspapers, has in| times past questioned the wisdom of some of the things the Wisconsin ator has advocated. It deemed him a visionary, a dreamer of dreams, im- practical, even though shrewdly look- ing after his own political fortunes. But it believed him essentially patri- otic, a ‘lover of his country, devoted to its interests, as he saw them. Of late years, particularly 1912, disappointed ambition has em- bittered LaFollette, as it has embit- tered many a man more brilliant and more able, in the course of American | political history. But'the News questions if any, even the strongest, mest strenuous oppon- ents of J.aFollette and his political | tish all over the globe. e/'Finally | got hold of something that ‘out vagaries ever doubted his genuine pa- triotism—until the time came when it, ‘was essential to the well being of the} and the future of America mine 4, patriotism show itself in strongest colors. And LaFolletie has not stood the ery address he has made has) been crowded with denunciation of the war; with attacks upon the gov- ernment of the United States; with rs of which Germany has been guilty; with com- meri young man- to help fight the apologies for the murd plaints becau hood is called upon battles of democracy against the most cruel enemy of government by the people that the world has known since history has been written ‘Taking advantage of his official posi- tion as a senator of the United States, which renders him immune from ar- rest, LaFollette has said things which would long ago have landed a mem- ber of the Industrial Workers of the World in federal prison at AUlanta or Leavenworth. His talk at St. Paul last week was scandalous. It was de- nounced on Sunday in numerous pul- pits in the twin cities, and has been attacked by practically every loyal newspaper in the United States, as by loyal Americans every- where. To defend the action of Ger- many in the sinking of the Lusitania is un-American; it is more than that. It is an utter waste of effort to defend an act that is altogether indefensible. well as AUSTRIA REPLIES TO THE POPE. After waiting many weeks, the em- peror of Austria has finally replied to the proposal of the pope regarding peace. One of the most noticeable things in the reply is that he has been made to swallow the sham German “freedom of the seas” dope. It has always been a puzzle just exactly what the Teuton rulers meant by freedom of the seas. Before the war they certainly had all the freedom they could legitimately expect. Ships flying the German flag rode in every harbor. They competed with the Bri-| There were sections of the seas where they had practicaliy driven out all oppésition. They had carried Ger- man made goods to every port in the world. There was no attempt by any nation to deny them every right they could expect. It remained for the Germans them- selves to deny the freedom of the seas to other people. The kaisers boldly assumed the Atlantic and the Mediter- ranean were their seas, and that no one could float a vessel there without obtaining royal permission. ‘When Kaiser Karl speaks of the moral ferce of right and the rule of international justice and legality his effrontery is even more monstrous. ‘There has never been a time in the past 50 years when the force of right was observed by the German and Magyar rulers of the dual empire. They have substituted might for right. They have cruelly oppressed all the so-called subject races. The Czechs, the Slovaks, the Serbs, the Croats, the Slovenes, the Ruthen- ians, the Rumanians have all sent up the same despairing cry. They have seen their schools closed, their busi- ness ‘ruined, their rights flouted, jus- tice denied them in the courts, ade- quate representation in the parlia- ment stolen from them, taxes multi- plied, service in the army demanded out of all proportion. The jails and prisons of the dual empire have for years been filled with those unfortunates who were foolish enough to dream of independence for their subject nationalities. The gal- lows have been busy. The United States, which stands for the square deal, which believes gov- ernment should exist only by the con- sent of the governed, which has never thought might makes right, which has taken its stand in favor of the little peoples of the earth, cannot afford to enter into any peace negotiations at the present time, which would be a mere Teutonic peace trap. The two kaisers have so far shown only a yearning for peace on their own terms. But peace on their own terms would mean a dire defeat for the de- mocracies of the world.

It has been reported to the agri- cultural department of the North Da- kota agricultural college that rumors have been spread in some sections to the effect that the government will take from families all canned goods in excess cf 109 quarts. Denial of this rumor has been issued by the depart- meat of agriculture and the state ag- ricultural extension department auth- orized to deny all rumors to this ef- fect. In some sections it is rumored that the government has been urging the canning, drying and preserving of food so that it would be in conven- ient form for the government to handle and transport when they were ready to seize it. Another form of the_rumor is that the goods are being to Enter Homes and Seize Can- ion—Had Prevented Some Canning taken from American homes and ship- ped to England. Some, when questioned in regard to their canning say that they are not canning any more for fear that the government take it away from them. The federal authorities state that they have never had any intention of tak- ing any food from any family, The agricultural extension department, the department of agriculture and the food administration have beea strong- ly urging’ the canning and preserva- tion of foods so that each family would have a good supply of cheap canned food for their own use. F There seems to be a deliberate pro- paganda to spread these rumors. Wherever they appear no attention should be paid to them. The effort of all should’ be toward saving as much food as possible and they can rest assured that they will enjoy the full benefits of them. t WAR TURNS WASHINGTON INTO BEE HIVE; OFFIGE ROOM AND FYPISTS AT PREMIUM By L. HARPER LEECH. Washington, D. C., Sept..27.—Right into this boasted “city without: indus- tries” has been suddenly thrust the world’s greatest industry—war. A city designed to be a secluded nook for the undisturbed discharge of gov- ernmental routine and the unhamper- ed debates of tha legislators has sud- denly ‘become the nerve center of the entire industrial activity of the ma- tion. The most active brains of Ameri- ca have poured into Washington. Ov- ernight the city has become the point from which the organization of a gi- ant new war machine is ,being di- rected, and all the other energies of the nation are being reconstructed and transformed. It is no wonder symptoms of municipal indigestion. have developed. The war and navy departments have swelled to ten times their forin- er sizes, The problem of housing the workers drawn to Washington is growing daily more acute. The pop- ulation of the city has increased ‘by 60,000 at least—most of them active: workers. Every apartment. house, rooming house and, boarding house is full, and new apartments are: being rushed. The government has overflowed in- to.every office building in the city. The aviation department alone .has taken entire possession of ‘the old central office building’ of the South- ern Railway and has ‘taken all the va- cant offices in the Pennesylvania :sta- tion. Whole rows of residences are occupied by the food and fuel ‘admin- istrations, and the government has just commandeered three big apart- ment buildings to convert them into offices for additional war department units. The tenants in many cases were given only one week’s notice to leave. The council of National defense first occupied most of ‘the new ‘half of the big Munsey building just com- pleted this spring. Now it has squeezed into a dozen other ‘buildings. The giant Interior Department. build- ing, the largest. public. office building in the world, was completed in May and filled up over night. A new $2,050,000 hotel building has already been leased in advance for war offices, And now the govern ment is starting to build a huge tem- porary office ‘building.
