SENATOR LA FOLLETTE in a speech at St. Paul be
fore the Producers '-and Consumers' congress, justi
fied the sinking of the Lusitanin, declared that Germany
had a right to sink American ships and destroy American
lives, that American grievances were insignificant and
that the nation had no business going to war.
- Since the war began, La Follette has been doing the
kaiser's dirty work in the senate. He has done everything
he could do to impede- the
resorted to every parliamentary trick possible to retard
and hold up necessary legislation. He . lias introduced
numerous bills and amendments to make the war unpopu
lar. He has made it his business to give aid and comfort
to the enemy in time of war, when the existence of the
nation is at stake. . , '
La Follette 's assertions
"Put him out!" "yellow!"
store order so that he could
should not have been. allowed to. lie should have been
arrested for treason. .
There is no reason why
such treason, even it the author is a United btates senator.
La Follette, should be imprisoned or sent to Germany,
where he belongs.. The time
the declaration ot war. Lvery citizen is either tor tlit
United States or for Germany, and La Follette docs not
hesitate to declare for Germany. As Bryan repeats, in
the last edition ot the Commoner: ,
"Acquiescence in the will
thru their authorized representatives, is the hrst law oi
republics." There 'is no alternative but anarchy. Before
the government acts discussion is .proper; , after .action,
obedience is a duty." ..

It is part of German "kulttir" that knows no law and re

It is evident that the

German code, has been able to accumulate damaging tacts
and expose German duplicity

SHOULD PAY UP
HP HE supreme court decision on the Hanson bonding
plan clarities the situation by establishing the valid
ity of improvement obligations incurred for paving, water
mains, sewerage, etc.
There is no longer any excuse for delaying payment
of interest and assessments overdue on the ground of their
supposed illegality. There never was any" excuse, except
an opportunity to dodge payments of honest oblitraUons.
I nstead of parleying and
ing t hese payments, collection ot assessments and interest
on the same should begin at once. Those who cannot pay
their assessments and there are some can at least pay
the interest.
The policy of dilly-dallying has badly crippled the city
financially and should cease; The vast' majority of prop
erty ownei's can pay up, and should not seekito further
embarrass the city by schemes of. frenzied finance to'
escape honest debts. Had the council followed this policy
from the start there never would have been any serious
financial crisis.
The really creditable displays at the county fair de
serve a better patronage than is being accorded and
every one should co-operate by attending and thus helping
make the fair a success. Attendance from Ashland has
been pilitfully small, despite the loyal support by Med ford
of Ashland's celebrat ions and entertainments. A little co
operation would be appreciated and help the unity of the
vallev.

TO GO TO FRONT
Two companies of the signal coriw
reserve of the army, which have been
in intensive training ut Monterey,
Cal., will leave in a few days for the
east and will presumably sail at once
for Frunce. The entire membershi
of tile two companies is made up of
employes of the Pacific Telegraph &
Telephone company, from the engin
eering nnd plant departments, nnd
each is a specialist in his own line.
Many Oregon men are members of
the companies, but no Medford men
are among them. The employes of
the Home felephone company of this
city nnd vicinity nre enlisted in the
signal corps reserve and are subject
to call to duty any time. So ns not
to cripple tho service of the Pacific
Telegraph & Telephone company,
only a lew men from the various
points over its system are called oat
from any one office at a time. None
were chosen from 'Medford in the
first call.-
The Pacific Telephone & Telegrnpr
compnny has granted all its employes
who have been called out into the
signal corps reserve a leave of ah
sence during the duration of the war,
'ird has patriotically voted to pay
each man any difference that may
exist in his war service pay from his
regular pay with the company. The
same policy will apply to all em
ploycs cnlled out during the war.
