d. w. Davis was the last speaker.
He stated that he did not disagree
with a single statement that had been
made by the first speakers, FOR the
very good reason that he did not UNI
derstand a word they said. He hoped,
however, that his children would have
an opportunity of learning the Ger
man language and could attend and
appreciate future meetings of a like
kind. He spoke of the very import
ant part the Germans had played in
the development of Power county. of
their energy and excellent citizenship,
and complimented them upon their
organizing to cooperate for the COM
good. Acting together they could
accomplish much, and he hoped that
they would continue to so act and
work.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Davis adj
dress Chairman Werner thanked all
who had taken part In the meeting
and declared 1t adjourned.

These conditions caused jealousy to

is our right and our duty to uphold
our Ideals and make our influence
Ielt Neutrality should be made tS
mean what it really does mean and
NOT De made a means of helping one
SIDE or the other. President Wilson
is IN the highest degree, a just sub
Ject OF criticism for declaring at the
beginning of the val that he was neu-
tral n later permitting a commits
sion from England and France to
borrow money in the United States,
to continue the purchase of war mu-
%nitions. If he was right in either
case he is shown to be weak and indie
pendable. His Mexican policy was
equally amatuerish. / consider him
one of the weakest presidents we have
ever had.
How can we German Americans
show u love for our adopted land?
Not by silence, not by jingoism, but
by standing for equality and impair
tlal1ty, the underlying principles of
Tree government. 1t is our right and
duty to hold to the high ideals which
we interpret to be for the welfare of
our land. In your newly organized
society you should work with conser-
vatism, and frown upon radical ac-
ton. BY adopting such a course you
can make your ideals felt. Jealousy
or bitterness should have no place.
Mr.. Kroeger spoke with delibera-
ton and without passion. and was
most heartily ~aplauded at the con-
clusion of his address.
Judge A. C. Haag was the next
speaker. His address was delivered
in English, which was much appre-
ciated by the few present who did
speak German. He was forceful
and at times almost eloquent, and was
heartily a%pplauded. He spoke In
part al follows.
One of our chief objects to organize
is to review and place history before
some of our friends who seem to have
forgotten the joyful sacrifices the
Germans have made for this country.

REPORT DRUGGIST.
GILL HAS SKIPPED

An investigation which may
lead to the discovery of persons
behind the shipping of booze into
Tacoma, and at the same time
result in round up of moon
sinners, bootleggers aud blind
pigs in this district, is being made
by the federal grand jury in tine
postoffice building Friday.
1t was learned that the govern
ment will probe not only those
cases which have been run down
by the city and state authorities,
but will seek to get Information
which may lead to sweeping mr.
rests of persons engaged in the
Illicit booze business.
Woods Testifies.
James Woods, special agent of
the internal revenue department
In Tacoma, who has been work
ing hand in hand with the police
and county officers, is one of the
chief witnesses in the grand jury
probe.
He is understood to have in
formation which will lead to the
indictment and prosecution of
moonshiners and bootleggers out
side the city limits, who so FAR
have been plying their trade un-
molested.
Take Up Blanton Case.
The grand jurors began their
work Friday with an investigation
of the case of William Blanton of
Tacoma and his son, j. M. Blan-
ton, accused of selling whisky
without license.
Other cases are expected to
come before them in quick sue
cession.
The jurors probably will look
into the trade of the Gill drug
stores which were raided several
months ago.
The government has informa-
ton that George Gill, proprietor
of the two stores, is in Los An
geles, having jumped his $500
bail in this county.
Gill was sentenced to 80 days
in Jail and a $50 fine. He was
out on bail pending an appeal to
the supreme court. Federal Of
ficials say they have information
that he intends to leave for South
America, and will not return to
Tacoma.

A man might very we'll be

But the very last thing to be

There was only the barest pos

The only way to fight those
