ONE GERMAN'S VIEWS

I have seen several articles about Germans trying to raise strikes in this country. I am a German by

birth and I am an American heart and hand. I will tell you why I left Germany. There were ten in our family and we were poor like the rest of my countrymen who come to the good old United States of America to get away from the oppression, and it was a hard ‘matter to keep the wolf away from the door at times. When I landed in this country I secured work at once and received more money for one month’s work than I got in Germany for one year’s work. I sent for my folks and I am proud they are all true American citizens and will answer the President’s call to arms against Germany or any other country when needed.

» I don’t see how my countrymen can go back on Uncle Sam. They came here without a cent and made money here; now they want to fight the country that feeds them. The kaiser never did do anything for thems or me. If he had we would be back there yet. All he did was to start this cruel war and starve all our people there and make soldiers , out of everybody and force them to w’ork for his dirty 12 cents a day with a fourth of a pound of meat and a loaf of black bread. 1 hope to ijee the day when he is kicked out of Germany and a president put in his place. You don’t see any Americans going over there for jobs or to any other nation. They are happy here and don’t owe any allegiance to any king or kaiser. I 'hope Uncle Sam will win. 'Hiurrah for President Wilson! Stop ah foreign papers printed in the United States. If they can t read English let them learn and

keep all foreign languages out of the schools. The English language is good -enough for anybody.—Jacob Cratts in Auburn (Nebraska) Republican. " /

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

Cheer up, cheer up! If you are sound, no sign of illness giving, you have no right to paw around about the cost of living. No man has any right to snort, or let tears run in rivers, unless we know that he is short some legs and arms and livers. Cheer up! Though it is quite a chore to stock the bin and larder, a gloomy mug won’t bring you more—just buckle down the harder. Cheer up! The prices make you yell, when you go forth as buyer; but when you’ve anything to sell, the price keeps going higher. I sell my labor every day for quite a roll of dollars; what matters, then, if I must pay high price for shirts and .collars? My father got a lot more flour than I do for a shilling; but I earn more in half an hour than he by all day’s drilling. Cheer up! There’s work for every lad, success for him who pushes; the hustler finds the shining scad is growing on the bushes. Cut out the worries and' alarms, toil like the bees that bumble; the man who has no legs or arms alone has right to grumble.

COUNTY EDUCATIONAL NOTES

The Jasper County Board of Education met Monday in the office of the county superintendent and transacted the usual business of the regular meetings. All township trustees were present, except Elwood Davis of Kankakee and Grant Davisson of Barkley. " The board voted unanimously to dismiss .the schools on Friday evening before Christmas and not convene the schools until Wednesday following 'New Year’s day. Teachers will be allow’ed compensation for Thanksgiving day but not for the Friday following. Those teachers who dismiss bn Thursday evening over until the following Monday after Thanksgiving will be required to make up for the Friday only.

The trustees discussed the road supervisor question briefly in connection with their regular business. Harvey Wood was appointed chairman of a committee to examine the road law to take effect after New Year’s and report at next meeting. The teachers are preparing for a large crowd at the north end institute, to be held at Wheatfield today. Prof. Moran of Purdue university will address the meeting in the forenoon and after. He will come to Rensselaer on the early morning train and Mr. Sterrett will take him on to Wheatfield in his machine. Mr. Sterrett was at Demotte looking after school affairs during the week-end of last week. There is an enrollment of about 160 pupils in that school. This is the third largest enrollment in the county. Rensselaer and Remington have larger enrollments than Demotte. There are seven teachers in the Demotte schools.

DURGAN WINS IN LAFAYETTE

Popular Democrat . Conies Back Stronger Than Ever. George R. Durgan, Democrat, for twelve years mayor of Lafayette and defeated four years ago by sixteen votes, was elected again Tuesday by a majority close to 2,000. His election is regarded as a rebuke to the citizens’ ticket, headed by Mayor Thomas Bauer, whose administration proved far from popular. Mr. Durgan’s previous administrations were satisfactory and popular except to the office-seeking Republicans, and four years ago he was defeated by . a fusion ticket. His come-back was staged with the same opposition, but for four years the people in general have clamored for a return of his kind of ruling, and at the first opportunity voiced their 'opinion in unmistakable terms. • ' ■ Those (politicians who predicted Mr. Dufgan’s political oblivion four years ago can now hunt up some new predictions, for he not only carried the city himself but swept the entire Democratic ticket to victory with him. Mr. Durgan and his ticket carried every ward in the city.

SAYS SATAN TO THE KAISER

When Louis Syberkrop of Creston, lowa, wrote the satire on Kaiser Wilhelm which follows, he little thought it would attract the attention which it has. Requests for copies have come to him from Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, Secretary to the President Tumulty and other notables. The article is in the form of a letter from his Satanic- majesty to his human prototype. It says: To Wilhelm von Hdhenzollern, king of Prussia, emperor of all Germany and envoy extraordinary of Almighty God. ’’

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

My dear Wilhelm: I can call you by that familiar name, for I have always been very close to you —much closer than you could ever know. From the time that you were yet an undeveloped being in your mother’s womb have I shaped your destiny for my purpose. In the days of Rome I created a roughneck known in history as Nero. He was a vulgar character and suited my purpose at that particular tim£. In these modern days a classic demon and efficient supercriminal was needed, and as I know the Hohenzollern blood I picked you as my special instrument to place on earth an annex of hell. I gave you abnormal ambition, likewise an oversupply of egotism that you might not discover your own failings; I twisted your mind to that of a madman with certain normal tendencies to carry you by, a most dangerous character placed in power; I gave you the power of a hypnotist and a certain magnetic force that you might sway your people. I am responsible for the deformed arm that hangs helpless on your left, for your crippled condition embitters your life and destroys all noble impulses that might otherwise cause me anxiety, but your strong sword arm is driven by your ambition that squelches all sentiment and pity; I placed in your, soul -a deep hatred for all things English, for of all nations on earth I hate 'England most; wherever England plants 'her flag she brings order out of chaos and the hated cross follow’s the Union Jack; under her rule wild tribes become tillers of the soil and in due time practical citizens; she is the great civilizer of the globe and I HATE HER. I planted in your soul a cruel hatred for your mother because SIHE was English, and left my good friend Bismarck to fan the flame I had kindled. Recent history proves how well our work was done. It broke your royal mother’s heart, but I gained my purpose.

The inherited disease of the Hohenzollerns killed your father, just as it will kill you, and you became the ruler of and a tool of mine sooner than I expected. To assist you and farther hasten my work, I sent you three evil spirits—Nietzsche, Tritschke and later Bernhardi— whose teachings inflamed the youths of Germany, who in good time ■would be willing and loyal subjects and eager to spill their blood and pull your Chesnuts, yours,and mine; the spell has been perfect—you cast your ambitious eyes toward the Mediterranean 1 , Egypt, India and the Dardanelles and you began your great railway to Bagdad, but the ambitious archduke and his more ambitious wife stood in your way. It was then that I sowed the seed in your heart that blossomed into the assassination of the duke and his wife, and all hell smiled when it saw how cleverly you saddled the crime on Serbia. I saw you set sails for the fiords of Norway, and I knew you would prove an alibi. How cleverly done, so much like your noble grandfather who also secured an assassin to remove old King Frederick of Denmark, and later robbed that country of two provinces that gave Germany an opportunity to become a naval power. Murder is dirty work, but it takes a HOhenzollern to make away and get by. Your opportunity was at hand; youi set the world on fire and bells of hell were ringing; your rape on Belgium, caused much joy. It was the beginning, the foundation of a perfect hell on earth; the destruction of noble cathedrals and other infinite works of art was hailed with joy in the infernal regions.

You made war on friends and foe alike and the murder of civilians showed my teachings had borne fruit. Your treachery toward neutral nations hastened a universal upheaval, the thing I most desired. Your undersea warfare is a master stroke, from the smallest mackerel pot to the great Lusitania you show no favorites; as a war lord you stand supreme, for you have no mercy; you have no consideration for the haby clinging to its mother’s breasts as they both go down into the deep together, only to be torn apart and leisurely devoured by sharks down among the corals. T have strolled over the battlefields of Belgium and France. 1 have seen your hand of destruction everywhere; it’s all your work, super-fiend that I made you. I have seen the fields of Poland; now a wilderness fit for prowling beasts only; no merry Children in Poland now; they all succumbed to frost and starvation—l drifted down into Galacia where formerly Jews and Gentiles lived happily together; I found but ruins and ashes; I felt a curious pride in my pupil, for it was all above my expectation. I was in Belgium when you drove the peaceful population before you like cattle into slavery; you separated man and wife and forced them to hard labor in trenches. I have seen the most fiendish rape committed on young women and those who were forced into maternity were cursing the father of their offspring and I began to doubt if my own inferno was really up to date. You have taken millions of dollars from innocent victims and called it indemnity; you have lived fat on the land you 'usurped arid sent the real owners away to starvation. You 'have strayed away from all legalized war methods and introduced a code of ' your own. You have killed and robbed the people of friendly nations and destroyed their property. You are a liar, a hypocrite and a bluffer of the highest magnitude. You are a part of mine and yet you pose as a personal friend of God. Ah, Wilhelm, you are a wonder. You wantonly destroy all things in your path and leave nothing for coming generations. I was amazed when I saw you fonmi a partnership With the impossible Turk, the chronic killer of Christians, and you a devout worshiper in the Lutheran church. . I

confess, Wilhelm, you are a puzzle at times. A Mohammedan army, commanded by German officers, assisting one another in massacring Christians is a new line of warfare. Wlhen a Prussian officer can witness a nude woman being disemboweled by a swarthy Turk, committing a double murder with one cut of his saber, and calmly stand by and see a house full of innocent Armenians locked up, the house saturated with oil and fired, then my teachings did not stop with you, but have been extended to the whole German nation. I confess my Satanic soul grew sick and there and then I knew my pupil had become the master. I am a back number, and, my dear Wilhelm, I abdicate in your favor. The great key of hell will be turned over to' you. The gavel that has struck down the damned souls since time began is yours. I am satisfied with what I have done; that my abdication in your favor is for the very best interests of hell—in the future I am at your majesty’s service. '■Affectionately and sincerely, LUCIFER H.
