Put your words, as well as your money, out at interest. A’ courteous word to your neighbor today may bring you two tomorrow. Germany is ready for peace on her own terms. The allies are ready for peace on their own terms.. And ‘we are ready for peace on any old terms. Give the guardsmen on the border a vote. There is no reason why they should be disfranchised. They are gerving their country at a great per- sonal sacrifice. Most people are always waiting for “the lightning to strike them,” and when a flash does come near them they shiver and jump like a dog having a_ nightmare. — A.public sp@aker has the temerity to remark th#t it is time for quali- fications and’not barrels to control our national and state elections. Put him out! But, on second thought, hanged if he ain’t right. A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP. Just at this time the question of neutrality is 'claiming much atten- tion and the matter of the attitude of our government toward the warring nations of the Old World is one of deep concern. And owing to the fact that our government has had to set- tle some knotty international disputes arising from the war, a rather mixed up condition of affairs is prevailing in this country. - The disputes with Germany and with England have developed a pro- German and an anti-German element, a pro-British and an anti-British. ‘We are told that we must concede every claim of Germany or lose the sympathy of the German-Americans. We are also told we must conciliate Britain or alienate a large Anglo- American element. Now the thought that naturally occurs to the” patriotic American is: ‘What is the attitude of these varigus elements toward our government? Are they American citizens or aliens? That is a question to be settled. If this pro-German or pro-British element with whose vengeance we are threatened, are aliens—not Am- erican citizens—then their likes and dislikes are of small concern to us, If they do not like our attitude let them go back to their own country. If, on the other hand, they are American citizens, then another and very large question arises. Are they citizens for revenue only—holding citizenship for the material good to be derived therefrom while their hearts and affections are with the old country? Then the sooner they come out in the open the better for this country. Are they here to cull the sweets of the land and refuse to take the bitter? Is it their intention to enjoy the protection of our laws and our institutions while their hearts are with those who may at any day become our enemies? To the man who has crossed the waters to cast his lot in America, citizenship should be the most price- less of his possessions—is so to the man who is worthy of it. He should be as the bride who leaves her father’s house to cast her lot with her chosen mate—for good or ill. The man who takes citizenship should do so forthe good or for ill. One sentiment, and only one, should fire the lieart of every American, na- tive or naturalized, and that should be: “My country—may she always be right; but my country, right or wrong.” Council met at city hall at 8 o'clock P.
