In this issue of the PRESS ap-
pears the annual report of the COM
missioner of insurance, W. C. Taylor,
on the affair of the State Hail Insur-
ance department. During the year
there e only 588 hail insurance
policies issued by the state, repre-
senting premiums of $2O,853.22. If
the farmers would take out policies
nor it looks as though the state
would have no difficulty in paying
100 per cent Of all losses as adjusted,
Any way the report of Commissioner
w. C. Taylor is we'll worth reading.

Referring to the State Departments
clear and generally correct statement
of tho American attitude toward all
belligerents alike, the German-Ameri-
can newspaper published by Mr.. Her
man Ridder remarked yesterday
1T is well that the document carries
Mr. Bryan's signature; otherwise il
would have had every appearance of
omanating either from London or from
Bngland's embassy at Washington. But
English diplomats would probably
have done it with more skill than our
Secretary of State exhibits. Remark
able is Mr. Bryan's painful effort TO
show that the complaints Of violation
of neutrality in favor of the Allies are
exaggerated or improved while nc
remarks with satisfaction the circum-
stance that several German reservists
have been discovered in possession or
American passports 10 which they were
not entitled That tho many complaints
Of English injury 10 our ocean trade
are justified, the Secretary TO his sor-
row. cannot deny For Justification he
points to the protests raised IN Lon
don. which remain unregarded. be
cause England, as Mr.. Bryan proclaims
with open satisfaction. rules the seas
This is as good text as another for
a few crude remarks on the attitude
which is coming to be habitual with
many-we are glad to say not with all
of our friends and fellow citizens OF
German birth or recent ancestry. There
rs no more valuable and highly es-
teemed element in our composite clti-
zenship, but we are bound TO say that
its continued value depends somewhat
upon the continued prepOnderance of
the American side Of the hyphen.
The grievance Of Mr. Herman Rid
der and other German Americans
who think and talk like him about
neutrality" is not so much that this
State Department document has
every appearance of emanating either
from London or from England's em-
bassy at Washington as that 1t has
not been framed by it's author and re-
visers to have every appearance Of
emanating either from Berlin or from
Germany's embassy at Washington.
The neutrality they really want on tho
part of the American Government
and people is absolute acquiescence
in the German point of view concern
ing Americas relation TO the present
struggle in Europe. Little by little
