"It is the deliberate t)>d an-

tions to pay this debt, with in-
terest added which will far ex-
ceed the principal, rather than
to compel war-won wealth to
bear its due proportion of this
fearful burden.
"Had we adopted the policy
of conscripting wealth in the
late war as we did men, there
would hav,e been no enormous
bond issues, no currency in-
flation, and no unconscionable
profiteering.

"Neither of these parties can
be expected to change the sys-
tem by which the few have ac-
quired the earnings of the
many, for their leaders are the
beneficiaries of that system
and depend upon it for their
wealth and power.
"In vain, millions of people
at recent presidential elections
have shifted their votes from
one party to the other and
back again, ever hoping that
a change of administration
would bring a change of con-
ditions. Thus they have pain-
fully learned through long
years of experience the futility
of attempting to segure con-
structive legislation or any
other fundamental improve-
ment through either party."
(Robert M. La Follette in La
« Follette's Monihly.)
True, very true! And now Mr.
La Follette wants us to vote the
Republican ticket and elect i
'"slate" which undoubtedly will
"go back" on all this:—as have a
dozen slates before.
Incidentally: we must remind
him that at various times in his
career—he not only advised his
followers to vote for men like
Stephenson and Lenroot, but also
for Woodrow Wilson and Paul
Husting.
Where is the sense in doing
that? Or does Bob really believe
that people have no more sense
left and that "reason has flown
to the beasts"?

"We resent," says the Demo-
cratic platform adopted at San
Francisco, "the unfounded re-
proaches directed against the
Democratic administration for
Slleged interference with the
freedom of the press and free-
dom of speech. No utterance
from any quarter has been as-
sailed and no publication has
been repressed which has not
been animated by treasonable
purpose and directed against the
nation's peace, order and security
in time of war." This from the
party responsible for the passage
and execution of the Espionage
Law! This from the party which
produced a Burleson in the post-
office department and a Mitchell
Palmer in the department of
justice!! This from the men who
have filled our prisons with
political offenders, and made
America a by-word and hissing
throughout the world for tyranny
and injustice!!! What is to be
said about such an utterance, ex-
cept that the Democratic party
' has solemnly resolved to add to
its other high crimes and mis-
demeanors that most despicable
sin of all—the sin of hyprocrisy?
And yet the convention had dis-
^ tinguished precedent. For it was
no less a man than President Wil-
son, who, in his interview with
Louis Seibold, defied the Repub-
licans to prove that any man has
been wrongfully punished for
opinions under his administra-
tion." says Unity.
Well, "the father of lies" will
be able to establish a college of
:asuistry in Sheol when he gets

trations that give some impres-

BOULOGNE — Premier Lloyd
George has drafted a note to the
soviet government which was to be
dispatched Wednesday, after a con-
sultation with Italian officials with
whom efforts to communicate al-
ready have been made. The note,
signed only by Great Britain, states j
peace between Poland and Russia
must be agreed upon first, after |
which the return of conditions to
normal can be dlscuned.
A copy of this will be sent to
Washington.
Notes already have been sent to
Russia, it was reported, one stat-
ing that the allies have no connec-
tion with Gen. itaron Wrangel, the
antl-Bolshevlkl leader in the Crimea,
and that the soviets must deal with
him. and another announcing that
the ban has been lifted on entry of
Russian trade delegates into Britain.
To Ixuin On Coal.
Representatives of the allies in
conference here have agreed that
the reparations commission shall
handle the German coal Indemnities,
it was understood.
The allies will lend Germany 40
gold marks for every ton of coal de-
livered, Germany giving promissory
notes maturing May 1, 1921. The
reparations commission is empow-
ered to sell these notes, or discount
them. The first issue, totalling 60,-
000.000 marks, will be out In Sep-
tember and others will follow
monthly.
Bed Army Goes On.
WARSAW—Despite the armistice
entered into by the Bolsheviki and
the Poles, the red armies have re-
sumed v.lolent attacks over the whole
front south of Grodno, it was an-
nounced Wednesday. They have ad-
vanced 20 kilometers.
Orders Train Returned.
B E R L I N — The government
Wednesday ordered the Polish mu-
nitions train halted at Marburg to
be returned to the occupied terri-
tory. Its presence in German con-
trolled territory is a violation of
German neutrality, .it is held.
Polish Army Retreats.
PARIS—The Polish army facing
the Bolshevik! is retreating along
the entire front, according to dis-
patches to the foreign office Wednes*
day. Resistance is feeblo at both
extremities of the line.
Poles Owe I . S. $71,000,000,000.
WASHINGTON -The total In-
debtedness of Poland to the United
States for supplies sold to that coun-
try by the war department is $71,-
920.111.97, which is payable by 5
per cent notes which will material-
ize in three, four and five years.
The above information was made
public Tuesday by Secretary of War
Baker.
Poland also owes the United States
a considerable sum growing out of
transactions with the grain corpor-
ation, the shipping board and the
navy department. The understand-
ing is that the tot; 1 indebtedness of
the Poles is less than $100,000,000.

ALBANY, N. Y.—A $150,000 cam-
paign fund for national, state and
local candidates on the Socialist
ticket will be the object of a state-
wide drive initiated by the state
executive committee. With the
backing of this fund, the election of
party candidates from many districts
in the state was considered likely.
Seymour Stedman, Socialist candi-
date for vice-president; Joseph D.

nor; the five expelled assemblymen,
and other speakers will tour the
state to enlist support for the
ticket. Anticipating the calling of a
I special session of the legislature, by

ed. would necessitate the calling of
special elections in the five districts
now unrepresented because of the

mittee adopted a resolution declar-
ing that in the interests of the party

In order to clear up some misun-

of the international federation of

the following statement:
"In connection with various re-
ports published in the pre vs intimat-
ing that the demands made upon the
Hungarian rulers by the Interna-

unequivocally against the govern-
ment miners' bill and are united in
demanding nationalization and noth-
ing short of nationalization. They
are ready for direct action as re-

have demanded the withdrawal of

of "the production of munitions of

absorb the $330,000,000 surplus
which would otherwise go into the
pockets of the coal lords. This move
if successful has therefore the dual
effect of lowering the cost of living

HUGE EXPORTS
OF COAL HELD
FAMINE CAUSE
Egyptian Roads Run With
U. S. Fuel While Home In-
dustries Go Short.
NEW YOBK The present serious
coal shortage prevailing In New
England, New York and tho east
generally has been caused by the
enormous exports of coal to all parts
of the world and by speculators who
have made enormous profits, James
J. Htorrow, state fuel administrator
of Mussnchussetts .declared in testi-
fying before the senate committee on
reconstruction and production.
One consequence of the lack of
governmental restrictions, he salo,
was that Egyptian railroads are be-
ing run by American coal while pub-
lic utilities and industries In this
country are unable to obtain the
smallest winter supply.
There Is no great Hhortage of coal
at tho mines Storrow's evidence
showed ,the report of the geological
survey setting total production of bi-
tuminous coal at 14,000.000 tons
ahead of last year and only about 1C
per cent below the record breaking
war year of 1918.
In conneotlon with high prices of
coal In New England, Htorrow *ald:
"The execessive and unrestricted
exports of coal have caused a sky-
rocking of coal prices. Probably 80
per cent of the output of the eastern
fields im being sold on contracts, most
of them probably at $4.50 or less.
The price of spot coal at the mines
1s now from $11 to $14 a ton. Coal
sold refVntly at $2 3 In Boston har-
bor. This mear.% that profits have
Incre ased on a basis, say of $11.50 a
ton, from 25 cents to $7 a ton. or an
excessive profit of 2,800 per cent. In
other words, coal operators are tak-
ing excessive profits from the Ameri-
can people at the rate of at least
$350,000,000 a year, assuming- that
only 20 per cent ot tb«• ir output Is
being sold In the spot market.
"Thousands of cars r.f coal are
being held In terminals and on sid-
ings for reconslgnmerit by specula-
tors; In fact this condition is so ser-
ious on railroads that a prominent
railroad official recently brought It
to the attention of the interstate
