Some s Self-Styled Patriots and All Pro-Germans Need Education

By C. M. TAYLOR,

JjFhen I thQk of some self-styled patriots and all pro-Germans I long. to grab the English language by the handle and use it like a wet elm club to smash their contumacious heads. We are'fiot jverfon'd of horse thieves in the Lone Star state, but I have much mores personal regard for the benighted crook who lets a “broomtailed cayuse” take up with him without the owner’s consent than I have for the yellow hound, I care not what his financial prestige is, who fattens on the crying needs of this nation. The pro-Germans have been pretty effectually muzzled and are afraid to tongue the secret thought of their shriveled souls, but in many instances the profiteer is still uniished. . . The very nature of his pursuit is such that in unnumbered cases the only remedy is public sentiment and a fearless local committee. J«t us hope that before long these will be supplied throughout the land.
