Few of the most rabid copperhead papers have gone as far as the Varda- man kind of senators and congress- men in their repetition of every made- in-Germany lie about the United States and its war aims. Nearly all the draft troubles have taken place in districts represented by such senators and congressmen. Some of these fellows are now beginning to hunt cover, even as Vardaman, but they should not be allowed to escape so easily. The United States senate has the power to expel a member for disloyal conduct. It has been exercised in cases not more flagrant. At the time of the civil war, sena- tors who could no longer support the government resigned. Practically all of which applies to Gronna, too. —— oe ———— WEATHER REPORT.

Leaders of the Nonpartisan league come out of the St. Paul conference with their loyalty questioned and their influence among the farmers of the northwest badly shattered. They have preached an economic doctrine which if not openly seditious, was anything but patriotic. Some day the bill of information against Townley and his henchmen will be drawn up bythe league mem- bers themselves. There is enough evidence to convict them of poor lead- ership and to send their satellites, such as Frazier et al, to political oblivion. It ig not fair to-the rank and. file of North Dakota farmers to indict them for the indiscretions of Townley and Frazier. The chief executive sat qwietly while LaFollette uttered his pro-German sentiments, as quietly as he has been to all things American since he took his oath of office. But many league members showed their disapproval. The St. Paul meeting was the natur- al climax of a policy pursued by the leaders ever since war was declared. Mr. Townley showed his colors first when he went up and down the state attacking the sale of liberty bonds as a means of meeting the expenses of war. By implication at least, he dis- couraged the purchase of these securi- ties, even though he may not have come out openly. He never failed to leave the impression that he was ad- verse to the farmers putting their money at the disposal of the govern- ment to fight German militarism. When the state board of investment declined to use $200,000 of school funds to purchase liberty bonds, the} _ ‘unsympathetic attitude of the admin- istration to the policies of financing the loan was evident. This board is} largely made up of Townley’s tools. Then followed the vicious misrepre- sentation of Hoover's position by Con- eressman Young and certain league leaders during the controversy over wheat prices. Townley continued to malign Hoover at the St. Paul confer- ence, as the official draft of his speech published in the St. Paul Daily News clearly proves. The Tribune passes over the famous I. W. W. proclamations, but these are all true bills in the indictment against the league leaders and challenge their patriotism. Townley is now engaged in a ludic- rous attempt to make LaFollette the goat. Iconoclast that he is, he would trounce his closest political ally to save his own hide. It was always thus with deme gogues. » ‘With the central powers, it is get- ting to be a case of peace or pieces. GRONNA TOO. Senator James K. Vardamann of} Mississippi did not vote against the senate amendment that all German Janguage papers must print an Eng- lish translation of their war comment. Indeed, the senator hastened to say he desired the disloyal papers sup- pressed. About the most disloyal , ‘Papers | FREEDOM OF SEAS. Ever since the war started, the Ger- mans, parroted by the Austrians, have been prating over that totally bogus issue, freedom of the seas. In their replies to the pope's last peace note they dwelt upon it with the usual crafty insistence. Sober thinking people have been puzzled. So far as they could figure, there had been nothing but freedom of the seas before this gigantic war. 'Nopody ever heard the seas were anything else than free—very much freer than life in Germany and Aus- tria. ‘No one even attempted to de- prive the Teuton empires of the free- dom of the seas. German ships plied in every ocean, competing with British and American goods in every market. The kaiser went steadily ahead with a big war navy. England did not even erect a tariff wall against “made-in-Germany” goods. There was nothing the Germans could legitimately ask for that was not freely accorded them everywhere in the world. The one thing that ex- cited their wrath and fear was the continuing might of the British navy. They also did not like to see our own navy keeping abreast of the times. But they knew that neither of these navies was a menace to any legitimate German aspiration. England, an island country, was forced td maintain supremacy at sea or starve the moment an enemy de- clared war. The United States, for the protection of her coasts and the mainteriaticé ‘of the “Manrée “doctrine, was also bound to have a considerable RAVYS: fas 4. And it was precisely these things that irked the Prussian war masters. They knew a British navy stood be- tween them and their hopes to bring England to her knees. They knew our American navy, if properly de- veloped, would stand between them and their greedy designs upon South and Central America. They do not want’ to be thus balked in the future. They want, if possible, to trap the allies into some kind of disarmament scheme that would mean an inferior navy for England and a similar one for America. Then Ger- many could pursue her evil and sin- ister plans unhindered. The panGer- man weekly organ Das Groessre Deutschland (the Greater Germany) drops the mask by printing an article by Winand Engel. which it approves. In this Engel. says: German policy is forced to make secure for itself by all conceiv- able means domination over the world sea. | deliberately use the expression ‘domination over the world sea’ and not the expression “freedom of the seas” which is so common today. The latter expres- pression is either dishonest or stupid. The sea is free for us only if we dominate it. There is the truth about the Ger- man canting phrases in a nutshell. When the German and the Austrian kaisers unctuously reply to the pope that they desire the freedom of the seas they are. either dishonest or stupid. In the present instance, they are plainly dishonest. They are lying once more, just as they have lied so often during the course of this war. They want German domination of the seas, not freedom of the seas, And when they gain domination of the seas, they will have all but con- quered the world. Remember that, Americans. “ONWARD WITH GOD!” “The Germans in their latest double raid over London did not attack any points. of military importance, but dropped their bombs as usual on the residential districts, mostly among the dwellings of the poorer classes. The purpose of the Germans apparently was the indiscriminate slaughter of the civil population.” — News dis- patches.

Townley tells. Mr. Roosevelt that the farmers of the northwest are loyal that they have been maligned by thr The newspapers have not lodged a charge of disloyalty against the farmers of Minnesota. O1 the contrary they have repeatedly de clared it inconceivable that any great number of them can subscribe to the kind of doctrine LaFollette and Town ley preach. They have said the same thing of organized labor. There is a much better way for the Nonpartisan league to reassert its loy alty than to rest upon the verbal fia’ of Townley.
