AN EXPERIENCED PRODUCER
Every wearer of a Palm Beach suit
during the summer will have occasion
to thank Congressman Louis B. Good-
all of Maine for the comfort which
attends him. Mr. Goodall, and his
father before him, has engaged in
the woolen cloth business in Maine
for many years, taking a leading part
in the organization of several mills
in his vicinity, and the Goodall Wor-
sted Company, of which he is treas-
urer, originated the Palm Beach
cloth, which has been so extensively
adopted of late years. Mr. Goodall’s
business experience has taught him
the value of Protection, and he has
for many years been a member of the
special committee on the tariff of the
National Association of Wool Manu-
facturers, and a director in the Home
Market Club of Boston. When the
Republicans return to power in the
House at the next election Represen-
tative Goodall is sure to take a lead-
ing part in the framing of tariff legis-
lation along sound protective lines.

WAR TALK
FORBIDDEN.
Judge Rupple Enjoins The
Local ‘'Boards of Strategy’
from Discussing War Sub-
jects in Bar rooms,
Judge Ruppel laid down a rule on
Monday morning warning holders of
liquor licenses to prohibit war dis-
‘cussions in the hotels, and particular-
ly “in the bar-room which “is used as
a sort of rendezvous for alien ene-
.mies and other aliens,” and “where
‘there is much disloyal and offensive |
| discussion.” “Failure to observe this
|rule in its most rigid and strict con-
struction,” says the Court, “will be |
‘regarded as sufficient for the revoca-
tion of a license.” |
Following is the Courts warning:
“The United States authorities |
“have called my attention to the fact
1
e Fritz to J. E. McCarnéy, | that Landlords are not as careful as Thursday
they should be in regard to discus-
sions in matters affecting our present |
attitude towards foreign Govern-
ments, and that at places the bar
room “is used as a sort of rendezvous |
for alien enemies and other aliens,
and there is much disloyal and offen- |
sive discussion there.” |
“It is highly important that all
our citizens refrain from the use oo
offensive or abusive language at this
time] |
“It is also important that discus-:
sions as to the policy of our Govern-
ment and other matters affecting our
National welfare be curbed as much
as possible and therefore persons
holding licenses for the sale of liquor
are warned that they must see to it:
that no language which could be con-
strued as offensive to citizens of:
other countries or which is in any!
way disloyal to our Government or|
Government be permitted in the bar
where such licenses are held.
be regarded as sufficient for the re-
vocation of a license.”
WANTED 20-YEAR LIMITATION
r In the opinion of Representative
Charles H. Sloan of Nebraska the
House made a grave mistake in not
limiting the term of the bond issue
rec&ntly authorized, instead of pro-
viding that such conditions shall be
“as the Secretary of the Treasury
shall prescribe.” While other nations
have never repudiated their debts,
so far as he is aware, Mr. Sloan ¢on-
tends that loans from one nation to
another have never before been made
on such a stupendous scale as is now
contemplated, and that it might al-
10st be worth a revolution and change i
of government in a country in order
to repudiate a national debt of a bil-!
lion dollars. Congressman Sloan em-
bodied his ideas in an amendment
providing for a 20-year limitation on
three billion dollars of the bonds, but
his proposition was voted down by the
House. ]
Married Guardsmen Will Not Be Dis-
echarged if Able to Support
Families.
The published statement that mar-
ried guardsmen would be discharged
from the military service of the gov-
ernment was premature and unau-
thorized by the War Department.
Gen. W. A. Mann, chief of the mili-
tia bureau at Washington has for-
warded the following communication
to state military officials:
“When a man’s means are ample
for the support of his family in his
absence or where his business can be
so conducted in his absence as to af-
ford a means of support for his fam-
ily, discharge should not be granted.
The object of discharging men as
provided in the circular letter is to
avoid working a hardship upon de-
pendent members of their families
and to obviate the necessity of pay-
ment of benefits to such members
while the soldier is in federal service.”
A WINNER IN DEMOCRATIC
DISTRICT
Washington, May 2.— (Special |
Correspondence) — Representative
Oscar E. Bland of Indiana, before his
election to Congress,” was prominent
in the legislature of his State in the
support of much legislation for the
benefit of the working classes, and
iwas the author of the 1-cent fare law
now in operation. By his wholeheart-
ed endeavors for the welfare of his
{ district until, in his fourth attempt,
‘he succeeded in restoring to the Re-
{publican column a community which
has sent a Democrat to the House for
the last eight years. Mr. Bland’s pre-
vious legislative experience. and his
jability as a lawyer is sure to win a|
{conspicuous place for him in the]

SOME PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS
During the debate on the bond bill,
a few days ago, Senator Frank B.
Kellogg, of Minnesota, gave an inter-
esting sidelight on the European war.
He said that he was in Europe when
the way broke out and had a more or -
less intimate acquaintance in Gems
many and in the other countries now
at war. “I found among the people
of Germany and the people of France
no hatred of each other,” said Sena-
tor Kellogg, “and they could not un-
derstand why they were plunged into
the horrors of war.” He gave it as
his own opinion that this is “the old,
struggle between autocracy and de-
mocracy.”’
