GERMAN AGENTS

Whether Von Igel, secretary of former attache Von Papen, is himself attache, and so immune from arrest, as claimed by Ambassador Bernstorff, is yet to be proved. The German ambassador has demanded the return of the-papers seized yesterday in Von Igel’s office. Among those papers was a letter addressed to a powder company, instructing it to deliver "300 pounds? 60 per cent dynamite” Von der Goltz, the confessed conspirator. And there was also a check signed by Von Papen,-and payable to this same Von der Goltz. If the. office of Von Igel was German soil, and the man himself a German diplomatic agent, we have that soil used as a base of criminal action against this country, and by a German agent. Such is the man and such are the documents that it is sought to protect. If they are entitled to protection they will receive it. But what a showing it all makes!

Last December, the Berlin government, in connection with the cases of Von Papen and Boy-Ed, said: The German government naturally has never knowingly accepted the support of any person, group' sons. society or organization seeking to promote the cause of Germany in the United States by illegal acts, by counsels of violence, by contravention of law or by any means whatever that could offend the American people in their pride of their own authority. Apparently the enemies of Germany have succeeded in creating the impression that the German government, is in some way morally or otherwise responsible for what M r Wilson has characterized as antiAmerican activities, comprehending attacks upon property and violations of the rules which the American government has seen fit to impose on the course o r neutral trade. This the German government absolutely denies. .

There is much more to the same effect, but that i< enough. Those who read these w ords will please reiiutni :>or th.it Von Papen, now under indictment, wa- an Officer of the German government, and that that government, through its ambassador, is now setting up the plea of immunity in behalf of another man under indictment. He would not- have been indicted had it been known that he was a German official. But Germany does not hestitate to claim him after his indictment. Yet that government said last December : It can only say, and does most emphatically declare to Germans abroad, to Ger man-American citizens in the United States, to the American people, all alike, that whoever is guilty of Conduct tending to associate the German cause with lawlessness of thought, suggestion or deed against life; property and order in the United States is in fact an enemy 01 that very cause and a source of embarrassment to the German government, notwithstanding anything he or. they may believe to the contrary.

Yet we have the check of Von Papen, a member of the German embassy staff, payable to dynamiters, and now we have this man. Von Tgel, who is now admitted to be a member of that staff, indicted and arrested for complicity in the very acts which the German government said last December were hostile to it Then it said that it could not be expected to disavow acts of which it knew nothing, committed by men who were strangers to it. Now it seeks to protect a man under indictment, and asks the return of a letter of. Von Papen, directing the deliver}’ of dynamite to men engaged in the conspiracy to blow up the Welland canal. .The people* will draw their own conclusions— and they are quite capable, of doing so.—lndianapolis News.

WHY ABUSE THE NEWSPAPERS.

The other day we heard a group of men speaking about newspapers. says the Hammond Times. They were abusive, .yen usually are when they discuss this subject. We have often wondered why. These men read the papers daily, eagerly. From such reading they acquire most of their information, yes, most of their opinions. Their minds are very largely furnished by means of the very newspaper they toss aside with contempt or indifference. The newspaper is a marvel of modern life. Think of getting so much for so little, at a cost so slight, indeed, that most people never think anything about it. The daily news of the world summarized in a few printed pages. A few hundred years ago the fact would have seemed impossible. Indeed. it would actually have been impossible. Even under the most favorable conditions we don't believe that any newspaper can be wholly accurate. No man can. To bo accurate is one of the most difficult things in the world. The mere repetition of a remark nearly always means changing the remark. Have you ever noticed how inaccurate yon were yourself? And have you ever thought of the amazing amount of truth that gets into the newspapers in spite of universal inaccuracy?

Here and there one sees newspapers that are valiently fighting for the right. The cost is often heavy. Sometimes it means ruin. All honor to the newspapers that have gone down in the struggle for justice. Who ever hears of them? No poet ever sings their praises. The people never stop to mourn. The forgotten heroism of the world includes no nobler fighters than those who have been vanquished in their efforts to proclaim the truth through the press ‘‘The truth the people will not have at any price,” says a cynical lawyer. We believe he is wrong. The people will have the truth in the end. Sometimes they get it at the price of blood—the blood of those who proclaim it.”

APRIL, '98.

Do you remember this time 18 years ago? fft was a day when the country was stirred. War was about to be

declared—the date was to be April the 25th. For nearly a month the work of mobilizing the army and getting ready had engaged the attention of the government Those who are old enough recall w hat hymns of hate" there were, what hardened things we called Spain and things Spanish. Set opposite to our enmity toward the cruel Don was our passionate sympati y for the Cuban patriots. What a lot of things the word Cuban recalls’—Gomez, Garcia. VVeyler; old Cup’ -Gen. Blanco. Santiago, Evangeline, Cisneros, Moro castle, concentration camps and good Havana 6 R d and yellow were the despised iitp-- the farmers of a mien more ;«tr:.i-jc. than financfaily wise did i< b<i’h their Spapi-h cocks. Out ; :>t~; ,r; way they—unmindful of preP inm.- before—began ’o peer seaward for the ever dreaded Spanish arm; da. which might come any •minute. And when Wa? was declared the friglv of the coast was pitiful till the Oregon rounded the horn and Schley smashed Cervera’s fleet. The lithograph presses were soon to be busy. They were to turn out the countenances V>f Miles, Shafter, .McKinley. Sampson, Dewey and Schley by the millions. There, together with posters bearing the American and Cuban flags, the latter with the mystic inscription. ‘‘Cuba Libre,’’ were hung in every parlor window in the land. Already there were explosive paragraphs about one dynamic warrior, young T. Roosevelt

Sc >n came the call for volunteers. What with patriotic mass meetings, the marching away of the local company of militia (escorted by the G. A. R. t, newspaper extras with their pen and ink sketches, and every kid in town threatening to rnn away and become a drummer boy, the times were fast ones, indeed. It was the day before camera art got into newspapers—save a few in New York-—-a day before aeroplanes, gas bombs, wireless messages, and the torpedoing of unarmed ships: a day when typhpid was accepted as a part of every day regime, a day of hard tack, unpreparedness and genuine American patriotism. When the spirit of ’9B beset the land no bandit Villa would have v-;ntured to cross the border and no women and baby slayers would have dared to redden their hands with Lusitania outrages. In the vernacular of bur janitor: “them wuz the good old days.”—Lake County Times.

The Long Prayer.

The organ breathed in tones so soft That one was warmed to tender thought. And then the choir in voice aloft Sang "Praise the Lord'—what words we caught The pastor heeded well the call And persevered in words profound; He led the Lord o'er country all And prayed for people ’ world around. He crossed the sea, for heathen folk He curled his trope? in ringlets fair. For all in power did he invoke A higher power their work to share. For all shortcomings did he plead. Except the one so manifest. He marshaled all who were in need And asked for ample aid with zest. He pictured heaven's wondrous fold. We did not know that he’d been there. But many things which then he told We'd never think would pass as prayer. At last with graceful sweep and curve He swung to earth without re- > bound- ■ For ten long minutes did he serve His loving Lord where words redound. We thought of one. with words so terse. On mountain side—of what he said. (See sixth of Matthew, seventh versel And simple prayer we all have read;

Our Father who in heaven art! O hallowed be Thy name of love! Thy kingdom come within the heart! Thy will rule earth as heav’n above! Give us this da}’ our daily bread. Forgive Us each as we forgive. Temptation through may we be led Delivered thence to better live. -—Detroit Free Press.
