The Literary Trawler
Deutschland Uber Allies.

This beautiful song is the favor
ite of the Germans who are fighting
on the firing line and the Germans
who are waiting at home. The fol-
lowing translation was made for
the Chicago Tribune by Margarete
Munsterberg, daughter of Prof.
Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard. The
poem was written by Hoffman, Won
Fallersleben, and the music by
Josef Haydn.
German land, above all others,
Dear above all other lands,
That, a faithful host of brothers,
Evermore united stands,
That, from Mas to farthest Memel
And from Fitch to Belt expands:
German land above all others,
Dear above all other lands!
German faith and German women,
German wine and German song
In the world shall keep the beau
ties
That of old to them belong,
Still to noble deeds inspiring
They shall always make us
strong
German faith and German women
German wine and German song!
Union, right and freedom ever
For the German fatherland!
So, with brotherly endeavor,
Let us strive with heart and
hand!
For bliss that wavers never
Union, right and freedom stand
In this glory bloom forever,
Bloom, my German fatherland!

One Good Story
MagnanimOus MOOnshiner.

DR.. John Allan Wyeth, who has
just published his "reminiscences
under the title with Sabre and
Scapel," has a good word to say
for the poor white trash" of the
South.
1t was they, he says, who, with
out any economical interest In the
institution of slavery, made up
three-fourths of the men who car
ried guns in the Confederacy.
Even the moonshiners, he finds,
are led by love of personal liberty
and he recalls one who remarked
to him:
"Your pap put me in Jail once
for moonshinin', but l never blamed
him fer it. We all knowed he was
a good man and done what he
thought was right. New York

NEWSPAPER NOTICES.

A hen-pecked husband, a musical
comedy and newspaper are three
institutions of the present day that
can afford a motto. A hen-pecked
husband has one because he can't
help it, a musical comedy has one
to boost business, but it remains
for a newspaper to have one out Of
choice. According to Webster, a
motto is a short suggestive express
sion Of guiding principle.
It has long been a question
whether most newspapers live up
to their notices. For instance. the
Chicago Herald has as its motto,

SOCIALISM is FALLACIOUS.

To the idealist socialism is the
shortcut to perfection in govern
mental rule. Common sense re-
flutes the theories and bares their
impracticabilities.
Did you ever go into crystal
palace and look into the well that
is always found there? You seem
to be looking down unfathomable
distances, but common sense tells
YOU that you are gazing into a
shallow box.
Socialism works in much the
same way. Its promises are beau
tiful and stretch away to unending
lengths. everybody getting exactly
what is best, harmony, peace and
plenty prevailing. Then comes
common sense and muses. up the
whole scene.
Socialism is many-sided and ap-
meals to a large variety of people
Again, this many-sidedness makes
II difficult of a fair scrutiny. 1t is
so easy for the socialist to allow
you to produce your argument then
neatly side-step it by saying ne
is not that kind of socialist.
Indignation, caused by unfair
ness of distribution and hatred
for private property, stirs the So
cialist. The effort to equaiize
opportunities is good as far as 1t
goes. But it is futile to attempt
to equalize remuneration.
The socialist would provide for
the wage-earner by having MIN
permanently employed by the gov
ernment. The present government
wage scale shows that the un-
skilled workman is overpaid, the
skilled underpaid. Wages are de-
termined by voting and the larger
number of the unskilled controi tne
vote. Socialism would but swell
the list of employees without better
ing conditions.
For years the United States
struggled under the spoils system
By competitive service examina-
ton conditions were bettered, put
there is still the chance that ah
unfit man may be chosen. AS re-
suit. government service does not
nay, as there is no personal IN
centiye to spur the individual. The
personal factor, which brings sue
cess to corporations and smaller
organizations, is lacking.
The socialist is carried away oy
enthusiasm for economic theories.
Socialism is against human nature.
Competition is necessary. Social
ism deals with social needs, but
ignores individual aims. Both are
required by mans dual nature.
This nation has many evils, but
,their remedy must come gradually.
The process of civilization has
been slow and has repulsed spo-
radio efforts for quick revolution.
Philosophically, socialism has its
attractions. Under the penetrating
rays of common sense it withers
and droops its head.
