Has it gone clean daft? Does it want strikes, riots, “industrial disturbance” of all sorts? Has it in its midst an infamous cabal desirous of a revolution in this country ? Is congress to hold America by the throat until starvation Rus- sianizes England and France, and Germany gets its chance to col- lect indemnity from the only party able to pay it, and that’s us? How long will congress be paralyzed by the demands of the thousands that now cram Washington, the Washington mails, in behalf of their own ambition or profits, while millions and millions of business men and workingmen sweat under the threats of pauperism by taxation? How long will congress exhibit the powerlessness and an- archical disorder of a democracy, that autocracy may laugh? * * * or MERICANS will fight, die and pay in the cause of world democracy, in self-defense or in any other good cause. They will NOT stand being held up to the starvation point while food gamblers and storage sharks rob them of a hundred million hard earned and harder saved dollars month by month. They will not stand hitched to patriotism, or maybe even not to law and order, while the rich-man’s-poor-man’s war, the pay-as-we-go war, the war wherein our foreign allies are beginning to eat husks, is held up by discussion as to whether the rich shall bear their full burden and the poor man be starved, like his brothers abroad. * ~ * ET congress make no mistake at this crisis! Delay means the Teuton tax-collector at every « factory door, bank door, house door in America. Let congress make no mistake! The atmosphere at Washington may be dense with the patriot- ism born of ambition for place or profits, but thruout the country true patriotism is being smothered and stilled by disgust for the slothfulness, shortsightedness, inability and inaction of the can congress. We are at war. we alone can save.
