Included in its platform, which declares for government ownership and operation of public utilities, packing houses, flour mills, etc., were words : | “We pledge anew our devotion to our country in this eme hour of trial. We reaffirm our faith in the prin-| ples of democracy and pledge our lives, our fortunes and “our sacred honor to the struggle to free the world from} toc and establish democracy, political and industrial, ong the peoples of the earth, | “We declare it to be our solemn conviction that the German military autocracy, revealed in all its horror by the rape of Russia, is a menace to the world. We our unqualified support to our government in the war to free the world from this menace. “We indorse whole-heartedly the statement of war aims the president of the United States. We believe that he stated clearly and unequivocally the real intent in the hearts of the American people and that this statement forms ‘® Sure basis for a lasting and democratic peace.” If this be treason, doubtless Patrick Hen if he were writing this, “make the most of it It doesn’t look like treason; it doesn’t sound like pro- ; it doesn’t sound like anti-Americanism. would say A. E. Adams, president of the First National Bank Youngstown, O., has written a magazine article t price-fixing on the ground that it inferferes the law of supply and demand. We forget just t the law of supply and demand is, but as we recall it is the supply of money in the people's possession and the profiteers’ demand for it. pif -! The United States senate’s sudden outbreak against de-| in our war production was undoubtedly largely psycho- This can be said without prejudice to the facts or pe api pro and con, in the matter. ‘ashington has been, for many months, under tremen- ‘dous mental strain. The investigations into the war man- ment departments and the exposures of undoubted but erhap unavoidable weaknesses and failures, here and have not contributed to mental poise. On top of this tondition was piled the fact of Germany’s astonishing prog- in her great drive, and it is not at all remarkable that 's mental equilibrium was upset. , the country in general was more or less “rat- The folks had so well known how much depended them, they had worked so hard, given so much, and when the great drive came and the armies of Britain France fell back, mile after mile, America apparently Many a good patriot | felt like going out behind the barn, or into the garage, to , or to curse every man or measure that has contrib-/ an hour to America’s delay. | “Too late!” said the kaiser, upon our declaring war. That has yet to be demonstrated. But, even in the first days of the great drive we were not altogether too late. We} were in it. Our engineers, our railroaders, our munitions, our wheat helped the allies when they fell back in good| order, backed them when they made a stand and held fast. | We were actors on the stage without speaking parts, as it | it be put, but we were in it and our part was important | glorious. Let us, as does the United States senate, kick our- selves, good and plenty, over the fact that we were not in it with all our might and main! It will speed us up. It has opine us—and today we are active in the fighting line on same footing with our allies. Certain United States senators are kicking about the delay of war work. One of the biggest causes of delay of such work has been the United States senate. That body is now kicking itself. It is a good thing. That body may fter recognize and grant necessary war legislation More promptly and courageously. and Just to make Londoners feel interested, the Ger- mans announced that their long-distance gun work on Paris was just a trial previous to bombardment of Lon- don. Those Germans certainly have the mean disposi- tion. Lenroot’s Election The election of Irvine Lenroot as United States sena- tor in Wisconsin is a complete victory for the loyalist cause, and Wisconsin records itself for the U. S. A. against such foul doctrines as were enunciated by Victor Berger, the socialist candidate. It is unfortunate that the administration should have heen drawn into the Wisconsin fight in a partisan way, as between Lenroot and Joseph Davies, the democratic candi- date. No amount of argument can persuade the American lic that it was anything but partisanship that brought fice President Marshall and other democratic warhorses into Wisconsin to campaign against Lenroot. The dire calamities predicted by democratic partisans will not take place. Lenroot will be, in fact, if judged by his progressive past, a distinct addition to the United States senate. Seattle war gardens will raise $1,000,000 in prod- uce this year, according to Roland FE. Chapman, super- seh in the Seattle schools. That's halting the Hun, all right. ‘i Russian Gen.

That he has succeeded is shown by the thousands of satisfied patients who continue to have their dental work done at this office. The best experts in their lines are Dr. Sipes’ as- sistants. There is no practicing by unskilled and inexperienced students here. Each doctor is a skillful, competent, graduate dentist. No Charge for Examination Dr. Sipes and his corps of assistants welcome the opportunity to tell you just what is needed and how much it will cost to put your teeth in sound, healthy condition. There is no obli- gation attached. If you do not desire the work done, you at least will know what is best for your health and appearance and how much it will cost to have the operations performed.
