DEALING WITH LAFOLLETTE
—
Expulsion of Senator LaFolette from the l nitedi
States Senate has been demanded by a Minnesota commis
sion being charged by that body with making a seditious!
and disloyal address at St. Paul last month. Now a con
gressional committee has been appointed to investigate
many other alleged seditious acts of the Wisconsin Sen
ator. The latter action is generally regarded as more or
less in the nature of a safety valve for public indignation.
It is to l>e hoped that the American secret service will
probe to the bottom all evidences that the Kaisers cor
ruption fund has found its way into the Senate and that
this evidence be given to the proper committee. In the ab
sence of proof of anything worse than asinine disregard
of the real quality of American citizenship, Senator La
Folette and a few of his compatriots will slowly come to
feel that they have forfeited the confidence of the people.
_Perhaps we are not yet deep enough into the war to
deal with traitors according to the needs of war but
something should be* lone to keep senators and others from
spreading sedition, even if by military power.
In the case of LaFolette there is a precedent m tne
case of Clement L. Vallandigham, of Ohio, a very able
man and a powerful orator, in Civil War times. He had
served two terms in Congress and then went back to Ohio
where he continued his attacks upon the government. He
promoted desertion, discouraged enlistment and gave aid
and comfort to the enemy. General Burnside, comman
der of the Department of Ohio, issued an order against
such actions, but Vallandigham persisted. He was ar
rested, tried by courtmartial, convicted and sentenced to
imprisonment to Fort Warren. President Lincoln com
muted the sentence to deportation beyond the military
lines and Vallandigham joined his friends in the south.
LaFolette’s crime parallels Vallandigham’s in every
essential, according to press advices received in Seward.
It would not be very easy to deport him to Germany, where
he belongs, if the accusations against him are true, still
the job does not present insuperable difficulties. This na
tion would be better off if all men guilty of seditious con
duct were sequestered during the period of the war.

What is so rare as a day—well, a day like we had in
Seward yesterday? But every time one mentions weather,
0!’ anything favorable about the weather, fingers should
be crossed. But yesterday was a pleasant day, the first
perfect day we have had for a Sunday for several months,
“They do the one thing
I’ve always wished
a cigarette would do;
They Satisfy
—yet they’re Mild/”
THE DOO.R THAT IS STILL OPEN.

according to the weather man. And talking about glori
ous days, one would never have known perhaps, if it had
not been for the past three bright, sunny days, that there
was so much of a feminine population. The ladies were
out in numbers and a stranger would be convinced that
Seward is not an Eve-less garden.
, The sudden passing of D. S. Hunt into the spirit land
again brings forcibly to this community, in the light of ie
cent deaths, that no man knows the hour when the last
summons will come. All who were fortunate to know
Mr. Hunt agree that a thorough man has been taken and
there' will be more circles than one who will mourn.

This idea that all of our big guns have been shipped
to France is entirely wrong. The Colonel is still on this
side:—(PhiladelphiaEvening Ledger.)
Mr. Hoover says that the nation with the most food is
going to win this war. We are willing to bet a Matanuska
spud that Mr. Hoover can name the nation.
