Burley MIA. please
Oakley People.

Her Ladyship," the musical
drama presented by the Burley
Mia. at the Opera House Tues.
day night was big success and
certainly scored a hit here with
the Oakley people. The musical
numbers were charmingly render
ed and each number was highly
appreciated and an encore called
for; and the entire show was a
credit to the Burley people who
really acted as professionals in
stead OF being only amateurs.
The dress was also very pretty
and to be highly commended.

German-Amer

There is much unfavorable com.
ment made in various Zeitungs
and Tageblatts, etc. of Americas S
attitude towards the belllger-
ents. These various foreign
sheets are insisting that President
Wilson is favoring the Allies, and
is strongly against the Teutons.
Apprals are being made to
German Americans to organize
to oppose the anti German sent
iment, and to work for a grea ter
prestage for Germany. Is it pro
per American citizenship tor any
one to overcome American neut-
rality. and to get our country
into the throes of the wickedest
war of history? We think not
II these various .toreign- Ameri-
cans are really Americans at
heart. let them use papers and
periodicals in the language of
America and do their thinking as
Americans and not as Germans.
There is an attempt made in
paper called the vital Issue to stir
up pro German enthusiasm be-
cause of German assistance in the
Civil war. We ask in all fairness,
were those soldiers Germans or
Americans first? They were fight
ing for America then.
We cannot blame citizens of Ger
man extraction from sympathiz-
ing with the necessity of their
Fatherland, but still there is no
necessity OF getting worked up
over the affair, which, is that of
Germ any and not of America.
Furthermore, A merica is not o be
blamed if the British fleet willnot
allow supplies shipped to Ger
many or Austria; and America is
not to blame if German submar-
ines prevent supplies reaching
Britain and France,
Our sympathies we can tender,
for the land Of our nativity, but
we have no right to get excited
or indignant if Uncle Sam does
not interfere.
Uncle Sam is at peace. and true
Americans do not want us to en-
ter this truitless war.
Foolish organizations to work
up prejudice and bad feeling are
unpatriotic and really evil in
their effects. 1t is anything but
the act ofnationalized A Americans
America first, last, and all the
time, is the proper maxim for all

Immediately the cry was taken
up and handed from lip to lip

semblance of truth.
An then everybody commenced
to tighten the strings to their
purses; pennies and dollars were
herded and withdrawn from cir

People imagined we were in the
midst of hard times.
The fact that the community
held just as much money as ever
before was entirely overlooked.
The fact that exports, with the
possible exception of cotton in
southern states, was as heavy as
before was also forgotten.
Money continued to come into
the community from outside
sources. but it was promptly hid
den away instead of being placed
in circulation through the usual
business channels.
