THEY WILL NOT FOLLOW SUCH LEADERSHIP CRITICISM of America's war work will be the dominant note in the re publican campaign this fall ac- cording to statements by con gressional leaders, made fol lowing Champ Clark's recent speech. The republican leaders are making a mistake, both for the republican party and for- the nation. To make good on such a campaign they will have to take the role of the copper head and the heckler. They will have to prove that as a war waging nation the United States under President Wilson I has not been a success. It is something they cannot iBIythe term. England realizes mis and says so. So do the French. ; The kaiser knows it and is straining every nerve to gain.what he can before we get our forces fully into action. To make their point the re publican leaders will have to criticise the government not on a basis of helping but on a basis of ousting the government They will make colittes of a subject that should be bove politics. They will have . to break down confidence in the government at a time when the; necessity of war calls for giv ing the administration complete confidence and support. , j If they follow their an nounced intention the republi can congressional leaders will fail. The rank and file of the republican party will not fol low such leadership. The usu al republican is a patriot be fore he is a partisan. , He will not play such a game as is be ing staged for him. He will showf his Americanism by re pudiating a party leadership that does not deserve his con fidence. The republican party will refuse to become a "yellow dog." AN END OF SNIPING LOYD GEORGE'S stirring 2mt appeal for an end of the sniping in the rear of the government that is fighting the war applies as much to Amer icans as to the British. Urging that the government had a difficult enough task to fight the war without wasting time and energy on useless controversy ami answering partisan and prejudiced charg es, the Premier said : "I really beg for our common country ihe fate of which is in the balance now and in the facts, that th government was vindicated by a vote of 293 to 106. The main point is the waste ful and harmful nagging of government chiefs with their hands full of w&r work by par tisan, prejudiced and useless charges and controversies. How much time of our own Secre taries of War and Navy, of heads of boards engaged in war work, is wasted in answer ing foolish charges and cor recting false public impres sions created by busybodies or disgruntled officials or parti san critics! -;- There is no question of sin cere, constructive criticism or suggestions .of . . efficiency changes. The question con cerns nagging ; and bullyrag ging and Bcandalmongering by those who seek partisan or per sonal advantage or Belf-glon- fication or revenge. When Mr. Asquith asked what alternative Ihere was to an investigation of the Maurice charges by a committee of the House of Commons, C. B. Stan ton, a labor member, shouted, amid cheers, "Get on with the war." This is the answer. This is the main point. Give the heads of v the government depart ments and of war activity boards, the generals and their aids, the chance to do the vast work required of them, with as little interruption as possible Let. them "get -on with . the war." '- Let there be an end of snip- ing in the rear.

Baker may have a sun eclipse all to herself but it is noticeable that our boys wal loped the Baker track team to a brown finishif a mixed meta phor may be permitted.' If the kaiser attacks the kal ian line it will be confession he was unable to make the head way he desired on the west front. If the Russians once get to gether they may find it hard sledding towards Moscow. Some men, had they been in Lowell Gangier's place, would have sworn those two elk were camouflaged " something and shot in "self defense." In arranging your schedule for Friday do not overlook the fact it is primary election day and that your vote is needed .....a..... The boys at the front are not down hearted ; why should any one be gloomy over here.
