Pull the Fangs of the Traitors

Disloyalty is of two kinds. One kind declares

itself in public speech and open act against the

government.. The other cloaks itself in insidi

ous argument and connives under cover with the

enemy's agents.

Edward Pietsch, son of a professor of romance languages at the University of Chicago, declared

publicly:

"If I irot a chance I'd stick a knife in the

President's back." Federal authoritise clapped him into jail without delay. This is an example of brazen disloyalty and of quick reprisal by federal agents.

Star prints an example of the method used to I

make that community safe for emocracy: NAMES MORE BOND SLACKERS.

Sixty-three Oklahoma farmers conspiring to resist the conscription law, advised men of the draft age not to report, fired bridges and shot at officers. Yesterday they pleaded guilty to the charge in a federal court. This is an example of a disloyal act and of its punishment. The government has no trouble in detecting and punishing overt acts and treasonable utterances that are made publicly. As soon as loyal citizens report the incidents, the machinery of the federal government acts with dispatch and decision. If all disloyal men were above board and open

in the expression 01 their disloyal views, our

country could quickly gather in the traitors, confine them in detention camps or put them to hard work in our penitentiaries. The solution of the problem would be child's play.

The government, however, is confronted with

the infinitely more complicated task of detecting

and punishing the traitor who masks himself as a patriot while he executes his nefarious designs.

We have an example of this manifestation of disloyalty in the men who on public platform, in private conversation, or through the press seek to create the impression that the United States

should not have entered this war.

That Great Britain was the aggressor. ' That we were duped by the Entente Allies. 'That our boys are starving in France. That the Liberty Loan bonds will not be worth one-fourth their value in twelve months. That Germany will defeat the United States. That Great Britian is sick and tired of war, and that a majority of her citizens wish for peace at any price. That it is wrong for our young men to obey the draft law.

A Druggist, a Doctor and a GrocerMerchant to Have Another Chance. John J. McLain of the drug firm of Piggot & McLain, Eleventh and Broadway, was the first Kansas City business man placed on the official black list in the Liberty bond campaign. McLain refused to buy any Liberty bonds and was "insolent" to solicitors who asked him to buy, D. W. Ross, a canvasser, reported to Chairman W. T. Kemper today. McLain flatly refused to buy a bond from E. C. Ellis and Ross and practically ordered them from his store, Ross says. Two other men financially able to take a large block of bonds have been placed on the black list One of these men Is a downtown grocer, who has made repeated excuses when solicited. A special odds and ends committee of bond solicitors will give this man one more chance to do his duty before anrfouncIng his name publicly. . The third, Dr. F. W. Froehling, is of German descent and only recently became a naturalized American citizen. After refusing bond solicitors he told the special committee this morning he had bought a bond. He had bought one $50 bond, ft was said, from a trust company and he displayed his button when the committee called. "I want you fellows to leave me alone now," he is quoted as saying. The committee felt that Doctor Froehling should have been a much larger subscriber.

They were hung -Blues, grays, blacks and greens In all their pristine beauty. But horrors I I had forgotten it was a "genius" banquet, And not one of those hats would fit.

Decidedly so. But I don't believe

It will while you are here. But

Isn't this furthering the cause of Prussianism in our land? Aren't these men conniving with the Kaiser's agents to foment unrest, discord and dissatisfaction? Are these veiled attacks worse in essence and principle than the planting of

bombs in our warships and the destruction of our

factories by fire and dynamite ? Isn't the motive the same ? Isn't that the purpose of every secret service man of the Imperial

German Government, stationed in the United States? Long before we plunged into the war, the Kaiser banked on the support of certain men in the United States to cause insubordination and disloyalty, and to assist him by the dissemnination of such views.

our government is awake to the needs of the hour.

Postmaster Burleson announced yesterday that

the espionage law would be enforced with drastic

severity.

Read his exposition of the purpose of the law and you will understand fully what is meant by

treason and disloyalty:

"These laws are aimed to prevent crimes against our

country, which are now being attempted through t nation-wide propaganda In the circulation of matter intend

ed to Interfere with the operation or success of the military and naval forces of the United States ; to promote the

success of its enemies; to hamper and interfere with the sale of United States bonds and the collection of author

ized revenues of the government, to create the impres

sion that the United States declared war for an evil and insufficient purpose and that the government, including the congress and public officials are mere tools of selfish

and designing Interests in declaring war and the prosecu

tion thereof.

"For example, such papers have sought to create in

the minds of our citizens of German birth or descent, the impression that Germany is fighting a defensive war; that

the accounts of Belgian atrocites, the deportation of

Belgians Into virtual slavery, the double-dealings of Count

Bernstorff and the Prussian government in this country and throughout the world, are all English or American lies; that the U-boat brutalities, including the sinking of

the Lusitania. were justified, and many other things in

tended to array our German fellow citizens against their

government.

"This treasonable press has also circulated matter for

the purpose of arousing the prejudice against one or more of the nations now co-operating with ns. Other matter Is

being circulated for the purpose of causing Internal dis

sensions and the tying up of our great Industries at this

critical time. The circulation ot all such matter neces

sarily gives aid and comfort to the enemy.'

t what I have said as authoritative.

Drop in any time. Good afternoon."

CORN CROP A SUCCESS

We bring home from the west the

cheering news that the corn thi year

exceeds the greatest lies that have ever been told about corn In the past. This year's corn stories are all true. In Indiana and Illinois a man who raises corn that Is only twenty feet high is looked upon as a slacker. At Momence, III., the corn grew very rapidly during a recent hot spell, perhaps more rapidly than corn ever grew before. The young on of a prominent farmer' went out In the cornfield and playfully "climbed up Into the branches of a cornstalk which was even then growing so rapidly that it groaned. The child shot up into the air, and, being too frightened to jump, kept on going up. The father saw the child's plight and hurried with an ax to cut down

the cornstalk, but the same was growing so rapidly that he could hit It only once before the place he had hit was several feet above his reach. He chopped three times and the Indentations were aeven feet apart. In desperation he cent for the Momence hook and ladder company,, but the .apparatus could reach only half way to the boy. The child?. Presumably he is still up. there and. getting higher .every minutes, although It is believed the corn will stop growing about the last of October. There Is occasionally something In a name. Somebody claims that La Follette means "little foolishness."

The American people have been too tolerant in their attitude toward these insidious traitors. The time is here when their activities must be reported to the government. Every patriot must look upon himself, as a guardian of the safety of our republic, and he must believe it his personal duty to report seditious sentiments. This is the only way in which the government can stamp out the menace.

Let us apply the doctrine of personal respon

sibility to the task of crushing incipent disloy

alty. The whole world is engaged in a gigantic struggle. If the Kaiser wins, democracy is

doomed, free nations will be Belgianized, out

raged, despoiled and left subject states to auto

cratic might. If democracy triumphs, the world will respond to a new spirit of liberty, no Belgium

will thereafter be crucified by a Kaiser, no Lusi

tania sunk without warning, no children muti

lated, no women outraged. Liberty will prevail.

To this task civilization has pledged itself.

"Never Again"

RILLIANT,' successful and logical as the great

Hohenzollem experiment In statecraft undoubtedly was. It failed, oddly enough, even during its bright

est years, to bring satisfaction to Its beneficiaries. There was a fatal defect concealed In all Its perfections, the defect probably of leaving all that was illogical, incalculable

and human out of the precise organization.

With Its over regulation, Its rule of thumb daily life,

its impersonal Justice and its mechanical ideals. It weigh

ed as heavily upon its citizens as it did upon unacclima-

ted visitors. True, there was a cold beauty about this

scientific state that compelled admiration, but it awoke

no affection. Bedragged, tarnished, Impoverished, the war has worked havoc with the bewildered admiration of the German masses for the Frankenstein creation of their rulers; and with the ebbing of their admiration their al

legiance ebbs.

To the old official or semi-official slogan, "Der Tag,'

the German people are today opposing a' new unofficial

sloean. "Nimmer wleder! Never again! There is a

world of meaning in this new slogan;, but, in the end,

after the declaration of peace, It will be the requiescat in

pace of the old regime.

A tall, thin lieutenant reported in Flanders to a Canadian battalion cornmanner by a bald elderly colonel. Af ter a. few days he approached his commander and asked permission to air a Erifvance. "I wish you would use your Influence, lr, to restrain my plattoon from referring to me as 'Legs,' ' he said. "Sure, my lad, sure," replied the colonel solemnly, "if youH use yours to stop my whole battalion calling me Old Baldy.'

Recent- ' ly he had three men of his company in to help him remove the grand piano, and, as this gift of Aunt Eliza's was of hefty build, he signed a blank order Jhat the men might obtain beer from

the canteen, leaving the amount thereof for the warriors to fill In themselves. :l Here was a dispute. "Put down six pints," suggested Private Dumps. "More like a barrel!" growled one of the others. But at last the sergeant came along with the right idea. He filled the paper thusly: "Please fill these men with beer." There was company for dinner and father was carving his prettiest on, a fine roast. Suddenly the knife struck a skewer, made a sliding upward motion and came out on the top. Father attempted to cover his real feelings with insipid Jests. There was an emharassing silence. Willie took advantage of it "Cook has burned her nose awful, he announced. . . . "Too bad." muttered father, still

wrestling with the roast "How did she

do It?"

"Trying to pull the skewers out with

her teeth."
