The con stitutiort says that each, house "shall be the judge of elections, returns anil qualification)! of its members."

But congress by n two-thirds vote may remove sunh disability. . , Merger has not been tried and con victed oh any of the charges made against him, so it Is clearly a question of the judgment of the members of the bouse as to whether his citizenship if such as to wnrrant the holding of a place in congress. The power ami nu thority lies with congress to either seat or reject him. It is not the principles of Socialism that; is involved, but it is a mutter, ot Americiu'sm, which now above any other time should meosuro up to the full standard of one hundred per cent. FORUM y Country Tie of The., wt (.arts' Liberty. , A Great Array of Battle Ships. There must have been a strong ar ray of battleships when four hundred of the allies' vessels met the surren dering Germnn fleet, While not much . of the fleet was American there were several drcadsaughts flying the Stars and) Stripes, The vessels composing tlie "reception committee" are report ed in the news dispatches to, have been the biggest fleet ever nssomblcd. And those are but a minor (art of the ships that have in the past, been on the lookout for the undersea craft of the enemy, which was depended upon to starve England and bring success to the Germnn cause. The German nnvy proper, never dared, after a slight brush with the tyjrttisb, early in the war, to como out In the opoii; but were kept closely hnrbored behind the Kiel cannL The entire reliance was placed, on the sub marines and now all theso are to be given up, and In fact many have al ready been surrendered and all will be put out of commission. Of all the mistakes made by the mUltnry oligarchy of Germany, none were mora fatal in the outcome than tho supposed superiority of their fighting machinery. They had led themselves to believe thnt German sol diers and German weapons were In vincible, and the disillusionment should bo clear enough to them now. One of tho evidences is that string of sea fighters thut met the vanquished fleet off the Scottish coast at 9 o'clock this morning. Railroad Men Do Good, . But Say Little. . , Railroad employes In late years have acquired a different attitude to ward..' mutters of general interest. They are automatically bunded to gether not only for Bervico to the transportation lines, . which always comes first, but they have a fraternal feeling; as well. In this war they have been diligent workers and free givers; they hnvc never failed in tho bond issues, nor have they stepped backward on the war drives which were not Invest ments. Rut aside from all these undertak ings there now comes to notice an or ganization of O.-W. employes who contribute twenty-five cents cneh to fund that Is used for emergency pur poses. iWithout telling the world of this, tho employes have gone ahead doing good with tho money so raised. and it is only by chance that the pub lic learns of it. Not long ago they paid for the burial of tho father of n soldier boy, and that is but one in stance of the numerous splendid things they are doing. Tho boys are to be commended for this inside feeling which prompts them to enact such service to humanity. The fact that they are doing theso things quietly und regularly stimulates the faith in them nnd makes everyone ap preciate the fact thnt the railroad men are n very important part of Union county and any other county where their work calls them to reside. Must Be Hundred Per Gent American. The question, is now being raised at to whether or not Victor Berger, the recently elected congressman from Wisconsin, will be allowed to take a seat, in the national house of repre sentatives, Berger Is a Socialist, but this i not the grounds for objection. PIUSSI.VMSM HAS t'AM.K.V. It's bead the Kaiser, said ' When tho war !s over I'll stand no foolishness from America." He hud determined to rule the whole world. Together with his councill ors, oncrgi.eu, by demon ubllos ,opli, demon cunning, alms and purpose, the great monarch was last assuming the role of a super man. .. His soldiers wero tnught that when they obeyed Ills will and voice us expressed by his military machine they wore obeying the VOICE AND WILL OF GOD AL MIGHTY. Had the Kubcr succeeded ' tn carrying his plans Tula effect lie would have established a FIFTH OKNTILlf WORLD tlMP'RE. This would have changed the truth of uod Into u lie!" For Odd had revealed by tho iprophot Dan iel, through NebucJvidue.zar's dream that there should bo Just four gen tile world kingdoms beginning With Nebuchadnezzar's kingdom and to tho coming of the Lord Jesus Christ to earth to establish his own everlasting kingdom. Hut the Kaiser and his great thinkers , forsook tho Infallible Word of Ood and have made the world familiar with GERMAN HIGHER CRITICISM. He went to war with tho world to establish a llfth gentile, world power or king dom,, when, God's word snys there should be but lour. Therefore he "left his proprtr Estate", and even declared that ut ter conqueriug Eiroie he would coma over and "put America In her place." When tho Kaiser went to war with tho worhl he went to wur with Almighty God. His army Is defeated, his machine 'Is disinte grated, his country lies prostrato at tho feat of the Allies, and Ood'a critic the German Kaiser hus FLED HIS THRONE. The Brent question now Is what will wo do with GERMAN HIGH ER CRITICISM? Khali wo foster It or ahull wo oust It with It's author? G. W. R. SAMUEL M.

He hao recruited seven con. structlon regiments and their work has been one of the wonders of the war.

'JVsll-Knowrf Motal Has Bern Relieved From the. Obliquity, of Bearing German Name. , One. of tho largest metul-handllng concerns In this country bus recently changed the name of the alloy here tofore known as (lermun silver, aud is now niurketliiK this commodity us nickel-silver, und a publlcutiuu devoted to the metal Industry s-JKsests that he word silver be eliminated entirely, us (lure Is no silver in the combina tion. This publication says: "If the nickel Is taken from an IS per, cent German silver alloy only a 'two uud one' brass will remain. Why not then call the compound 'ulckel bruss,' or, If commercial objections are too strong to be overcome at once, why not call It nickel alloy? The various contents of nickel may be designated by utilizing the different percentages that the al loy contains. Thus, 4, U, 8, 10, l'J, 10, 18 per cent, etc., nickel-alloy, it Is a fact thut sonio manufacturers are ul reiuly designating the material now being sold ns 'Sbollield plate,' as 'sll-yer-plato on a nickel base.' We see no reason why the same argument does uo apply to the alloy being called nickel-silver."
