ASKED TO BAR LA FOLLKTTE. j Minnesota Governor and Safety j Commission Wants Him Ousted. Washington, Sept. 30.?A communication from the Governor of Minnesota and the State Public Safety Comr mission requesting the explusion from the Senate of Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, was presented in the Senate today by Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, and referred! by Vice President Marshall to the; Senate privileges and elections com-1 mission. Senator Kellogg received the com-j L munication. which was adopted by t the State commission as the result of i Senator La Follette's recent speech at j St. Paul. Before presenting it to the. Senate he conferred with Vice President Marshall. Senator Martin, of Virginia, Democratic leader, and Senator Pomerene, of Ohio, chairman j of the committee to which it was referred. Any further action will first I come from the committee. Senator La Follette was not in the chamber when the communication j was presented and there was no discussion or other action. Demands Impeachment. Four other communications, one from the Washburn Loyalty League, of Washburn, Wis., and three from ^ individuals, demanding the impeachment of Senator La Follete, were received by Vice President Marshall and presented to the Senate in the usual routine way. Senator Kellogg explained that he presented the resolution according to the usual practice of filing communications from responsible organizations and that there was no other significance in his action. Declared Treasonable. i Characterizing La Follette's speech in St. Paul September 20, before the Non-Partison League, as "disloyal and seditious," the resolution declares the utterances already have served to create treasonable sentiment in Minnesota, and petitions the Senate to begin proceedings to expell La Follette as "a teacher of disloyalty and sedition, giving aid and comfort to our enemies and hindering the government in the conduct of the war." i Senator Pomerene indicated that the privileges and elections committee would take no action for the present at least. He said he could not decide until after conferring with other members, a*. - ..iat a quorum of the committee could not be obtained V probably during the session. National Debt Records. The United States government has from th? first day of its life, with the exception of a brief time during Jackson's presidency, been in debt,, but never alarmingly so. With each war, i there has been, of course, a sudden increase in debt, but after each war the paying off of the debt has always been carried out rapidly. It is inter k esting in view 01 tne decision now committing the nation at one step to new indebtedness of $7,000,000,000 to run over the debt record of the past in brief summary. This is as follows: 1791, after War of In-' dependence. $ 75,463,476 ^Beginning of 1812 .... 45,209,737 1816, after, war with England 127,334,933 1835, after surplus revenue 33,733 1851, after Mexican war :. 68,304,796 1857, before civil war 24,460,958 1865, end Civil war .. 2,31 S,530,294 1891, after surplus revenue 585,024,720 1896, after loans for gold reserve S47,364,260 1899, after Spanish war 1,046,048,S50 1907, after surplus revenue ...^ S94,S34,2S0 1917, after Panama financing 973,357,250 Our present national debt of less than one billion for a nation of 100000,000 people is absurdly small compared with Great Britain's debt of $15,000,000,000 imposed on a nation of much less than half as many people. All things considered the United States could carry a debt of thirtv billion as well as Great Bitain can carry half that amount. It is not only that our population is more than double but our natural resources have never been drawn upon as in Ancient England. It was the blindness of madness on Germany's part to defy this country's entrance in the war.?Spartanburg Herald. The Jury.

M^ie Fact of Marriage No Grounds for Exemption. Columbia, Sept. 30.?Dependency and not the mere fact of marriage is to be the criterion governing exemption boards in considering claims for exemptions, according to a telegram received by Governor .Manning tonight from Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder. This was in answer to a wire from the Governor requesting an interpretation of the President's wish that married men would not be drafted. The wire follows: "Dependency and not the mere faci of marrage is and has always been the criterion. The President expresses the hope that for the most part those accepted in the first call would be men who had not yet assumed the relation of the head of a family, but he distinctly held that the regulations were controlling and that the orders issued under the regulations, directing the exemption boards to establish the fact of marriage, ought not to be abrogated.
