BAR THE GERMAN LANGUAGE

The Des Moines (Iowa) Capital very sensibly suggests that the United States prohibit the printing of newspapers, books and pamphlets in the German language. The suggestion is worthy of adoption. And in this connection we ■would urge the barring of the German language from our schools. There is absolutely no reason why the children of loyal American parents should be saturated, during the most impressionable period of their lives, with the literature of a nation whose ideas and ideals are so greatly at variance with those of this country as are those of Gerniapy. There can be no doubt that the dissemination of the German language in this country tends to create a certain sympathy for the peo-

ple who speak that language. It is impossible to acquire a working knowledge of any language without developing sympathy for its people. JuSt at this time, sympathy for Germany is a misfit in the breast of any American, True, there are many German-Americans among us. buit the time has come when these must be either flesh or fowl— Americans or Germans. The hyphenated nationality must cease. In plain words, this country has no longer any room' for the person of allegiance. The GermanjAmerican must go, and in his place must be either the American or the German. It may sound harsh to say that our citizens of foreign birth must forswear and forget the land of their birth, but if we are to be a nation, and not a polyglot mixture Of all races, this is precisely what they must do. • ; |

The paper quoted above concludes its article with the assertion that “there is not a loyal German language newspaper in America.’’ The statement may be too strong; but be that as it may, the cultivation of -the language affords, to say the least, a,strong cover for disloyalty. The German-American owes it to himself to become at once and forever an American. When he feels that he cannot do this, he should have the decency to take his person from a country to which he can not give his heart and his w*hole allegiance.

TEACH PRACTICAL PATRIOTISM

In seeking for an explanation for the apathy and lack of patriotism manifested in many parts of the country, one is confronted in almost every instance with the underlying influence —ignorance. Ignorance of American ideals, traditions and principles. Ignorance of the plain duty of every citizen of a benificent government to preserve and defend the institutions of that government. In the schools of this country from this time on, a department of practical patriotism should have foremost place. Love of country is not all hereditary. A practical knowledge of all that our country and our government stands for in the lives of its citizens is essential to the development of the highest type of patriotic citizenship. It is not enough that a people should have a sentimental love for the soil that bred them. Thousands of aliens within our borders, now loyal citizens of our country, have this love. It is noticeable, however; that this does not detract from their full allegiance to the government that has? received and nurtured them. There must be more than this to make up the true American type. There must be first knowledge-—a full realizaion of the superiority of our institutions; a full appreciation of the great benefits that we as INDIVIDUALS have received and are continually receiving from them. Add to this a carefullly cultivated sense of gratitude, and the country will be safe in the hands of its citizens*. . 1, -

In past years much has bsen said of the privileges of our land. The time has come when we must emphasize the DUTIES of the people to the? government that makes possible those great pt'mleges. Teachers and parents of America, its up to YOU. German statesmen denounce President Wilson as an autocrat, and attempt to favorably compare their government . with this, on the ground that they “have the king’s pledge that the general, direct, • equal and secret ballot the most liberal electoral franchise in the world, will now become an. institution in Prussia.” All very fine and high-sounding, but we might remind out teuton critics that this same “general, direct, equal and secret ballot” has always prevailed in this country, and that it is solidly and unanimously behind our President. Those German statesmen might enlighten the world by stating to just

what extent the masses of that "unhappy country have participated in governmental affairs in the PAST and do participate at PRESEN 1 !'. As far as the future participation of those masses, it may be in a manner not at all to the liking of the Prussian statesmen. It must be remembered that America has not yet been counted as a fighting quantity in the war. When that time comes there will be a different story to tell. The, Germans are now compelled to pit the flower of their fighting force against the Canadians and our boys | will fight as hard and intelligently as any Canadian that every lived. There is no reason for despair because of the Italian defeats. That is one of the incidents of war and will have no lasting effects when the allied forces get to work at the front.—-Fowler Tribune. As conspicuous examples of German “kultur,” we might mention those two million illegitimate Gerfmian children, brought into the world by decree of the kaiser. We might also cite recent air attacks on allied hospital bases, on school houses in England, and the latest praise-worthy attempt to reduce the enemy population by dropping poisoned candy throughout the allied territory. Yes, German “kultur ”is very desirable—not.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

Quit wondering when the war will end, and decide when YOU are going to help end it. Vegetarians now have the opportunity of their lives to test the accuracy of their theory. If the price of gasoline keeps on mounting, it ought to put a damper on the automobile thieves. The price of wool inclines the buyer to the belief that the “fleecy staple” is true to its name. Jeremiah O’Leary boasted that he would govto hell for his country,, and his country is unanimous in speeding his going. Looking for a safe bank for your war-price savings, neighbor? What’s the matter with Uncle Sam’s great Liberty Bank? Kaiser Bill may have gone to Constantinople to give the Turks a course in “kultur,” with a few lessons in frightfulness as incidentals. That bunch of congressmen who propose to visit the battle front in -France should be careful. The fireworks over there are entirely different from those they are used to in Washington. The Germans profess to regard the American army as a “negligible force.” If they continue to’ act on that theory after Pershing and his Sammies get into action they will greatly hasten the end. An exchange wants to know “why it takes, a woman so long to put on the KifMo she wears to evening functions?’’ Why. she has to be very particular as to location. A mistake w®uld be embarrassing. It i/a historical truth that no industry is destroyed without pulling down some other In its fall., The District of Columbia goes “dry,” and now watch the withering of those choice congressional mint beds. Three-cent postage is all right, and we will pay it with a grin if it will help win the war. Still we can’t help thinking there should be some way to extract a few dollars from the hundreds of tons of matter carried out of Washington under the franking system. When a man between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one resists the draft we proceed to handle him without gloves. When a man nast thirty-one works his jaw over time resisting not only the draft, but every other measure of self preservation the government has enacted. I we pass a resolution to “investiI gate” his loyalty.

Oh! the days are getting breezy, And the nights are getting keen, And the trees are turning colors Down below the evergreen; And the boys are drilling smarter, And they’re feeling bright and gay. But you ought to see us shiver In the chill at Reveille. Oh! this Mississippi autumn Is a grand and glorious time. For the drudging, drilling soldiers. And we’re feeling at our prime. When the sun is near its zenith On a blue-skied, pep-full day, But you ought to see us shiver In the chijl at Reveille. And we’re thinking of the home folks With their drizzle, and their sleet. Sitting round a flaming gas-store Cloaked with wraps from head to feet; And we’ll tell them of the beauty And the freshness here, but SayLet’s not tell, Oh! how we shiver In the chill at Reveille. —Author Unknown.
