AMERICA DOESN'T OWE GERMANY ANYTHING The senate approprlatiuns‘ committee has unanimously reported a measure authorizing the government to sell all enemy property in this country. We noticed the other day where a prominent German diplomat, now at home, was the holder of immense business properties in a large Texas city. Fine thing to allow a leader of the German autocracy at home in his own country deriving good revenue from holdings in the coun- try he would destroy, and which allowed him the privilege of coming over here and protecting him while he was making a pile of coin off' your Uncle Samuel. We fail to see where the United States owes a single thing to Germany, and the sooner the government treats matters like Germany does the better it will be for all America. PRy AL . SOLDIER CITIZENS OF MINNESOTA SHOULD VOTE A special session of the Minnesota legislature is planned to pass a law to allow Minnesota soldiers in camp an opportunity to vote at the pri- marfes for state candidates. That has, to us, always seemed a weird gort of & condition that does not allow a soldier to vote for officials of his own state when' his government\ has called him for temporary military service. It seems to us that preventing a man from exercising his legal perogatives under such conditions is practically depriving him of his rights-of franchise as a citizen of the United States. But if it requires a:special. legal measure it should be enacted. ST T WHY NOT BASTE THE FOOD PROFITEERS, ALSO? ‘When the food administration clamped the lid on flour and urged the use of substitytes, giving a list of what would take the place of flour, the substitutes did the‘expected and sailed in.price away over what the flour would cost. We suggest that the government take one good hard wallop at those substitute flour profiteers, and make it a little easier for the con- sumers who are “carrying the hod” in digging into their pockets to help the government whip Hades out of that leading exponent of world hu- manity and kultur. it dg ’ i ! L COULDN'T MAKE AMERICA BELIEVE IT We never'knew until yesterday that a report had been circulated abroad that the Sinn Feiners of Ireland had been unhospitable to the sur vivors' of the Tuscania when they landed upon the shores of Ireland. No one could\make America believe any such rot. —_——— . The world will watch with interest the outcome of the German occu- pation of Russia, as also the disposition the Teutonic powers will make of their agents, Lenine and Trotsky—for that these worthies have been all along working in the interest of Germany, few thinking people now doubt. If treachery is rewarded in proportion to its baseness, they should’ have high place in the favor of the kaiser. If Russia is really their father- land, they must find deep consolation in the thought that through their efforts she now lies helpless under the heel of her oppressor. RS 4 Dispatch fro.n Petrograd states that the invading Germans are seizing Russians under penalty of death, grming them and sending them to the west front to battle the allies. Little more German peace such as the Bolsheviki blindly stood for. SO A Chicago man is reported to have paid $10,000 for a pig. That’s nothing astonishing. There are any number of hogs that have cost this country many times that amount, each. 'And they can’t be used for pork, either. e Rl Ireland has 350,000 men in the British army out of her population of 4,309,000. And yet Congresswoman Rankin cherishes the delusion that there is an ‘‘Irish question” that she can settle. —— e We are not quite certain just what the theory of the Bolsheviki was when they chased Kerensky off the job, but judging from the present situation it wasn't much. S The: German peace dove has more the appearance of a vulture. ML L AL Remodeled and refinished, now ready for business.
