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.

MUST HAVE DEPENDENTS.
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.

COULD HARDLY
STAND ALONE
Terrible Suffering From Headache,
Sideache, Backache, and Weakness,
Relieved by Cardui,
Says This Texas Lady.
Gonzales, Tex.? Mrs. Minnie Philpot,
of this place, writes: "Five years
ago I was taken with a pain in my
left side. It was right under my j
left rib. It would commence with, an
aching and extend up into my left
shoulder and on down into my back.
By that time the pain would be so
severe I would have to take to bed,
and suffered usually about three days
...I suffered this way for three years,
and got to be a mere skeleton and was
so weak I could hardly stand alone.
Was not able to go anywhere and had
to let my house work go...I suffered
awful with a pain in my back and I
had the headache all the time. I just J
was unable to do a thing. My life j
was a misery, my stomach got In an |
awfuL condition, caused from taking '
so much medicine. ;I suffered so much j
pain. I had just about given up all j
hopes of our getting anything to help
me.
One day a Birthday Almanac was I
thrown in my yard. After reading j
its testimonials I decided to try Car- \
dui, and am so thankful that I did, j
for I began to improve when on the
second bottle...I am now a well
woman and feeling fine and the cure
has been permanent for it has been
two years since my awful bad health.
I will always praise and recommend
Cardui." Try Cardui today, E 78
