WHAT OTHERS SAY
Views on all sides of timely questions as discussed in ex- changes that come to the Herald Office.
"Richest Village On Earth" Springfield Republican,

A town which casts 1911 votes and carries S55 men on it's payroll has been discovered in Hibbing, Minn., the richest village on earth" and the most prodigal. Exclusive of school costs, Hibbing spent $1,155,706 in 1914, representing most of the tax in- come on an assessed valuation greater than that of New Mexico, or approxi- mately 86,O00,0oo. Iron ore is the answer The United States steel cor poration is the victim. Northern Minnesota produces approximately three-fifths of all the iron mined in the United States and Hibbing is at the very backbone of the Mesabi range, the richest deposit of iron ore in America. By virtue of this the town has become the scandalous clas- sic of all horrible examples in ram pant taxation and unsupervised ex- pendlture. It boasts more street lights for it's 12,000 people than does Gin cinnati, O., for it's 363,000 and has spent in a single year more money than the state of Delaware. Salaries of municipal grave diggers come to an annual $635O and garbage co1lec- tion accounts for $130 a day of these very public funds. The only com parable example that comes to mind Is the nation of Chilli, which for years has been financed almo ost entirely by the huge rents from nitrate fields and high export duties on that valua ble product. But even there a much lar ger percentage of the wealth must md it's way to really necessary and benehclal public works than in Hib- binE.

Washington now has another seri- ous problem to solve in determining the status of the British steamer Appam which made it's appearance in Hampton Roads yesterday flying German ensign and under command of a German captain and prize crew There are many angles to the ques- tion as, for instance, is the Appam a prize or a German auxiliary cruiser" :" What must be done with the prize crew and the Germans who were pris- onersson this ship when she was un- der British control? Were any Of the captured non-combatant passen- gers really enlisted in the British forces? There is a pretty mess in which your Uncle Sam finds himseif as the result of this latest sensation of the sea, and a diplomatic con- troversy is likely to ensue.

THE COURANT.s COWARDr,Y ACT
Hal1for Podst Joins New Britain Herald in Denouncing Despicable
 Politics

In its leading editorial yesterday
 the Hartford Post offered the sub joined opinion
 | No fair-minded citizen can have
 anything but contempt and indigna- 1 ton for the style of campaigning to which the Hartford Courant Is re- ] sorting In an effort to create, for l purely political purposes, sentiment against the President of the United l States It is bad enough when so- l called hyphenated citizens start 1 political backfires on the trail of the President, but when those who boast I of their Americanism and patriotism resort to tactics that would be more 1 fitting for actual enemies of the gov ernment it is time for decent citizens ] to call a halt.
 "It is known that the so-calied German American vote is unfriendly | to the Wilson administration. The weekly known as the Fatherland Is 1 the voice of that vote. The rather land is propaganda organ pure ana 1 simple It exists for the purpose of presenting the German side of the war It was devised originally to foster sentiment favorable to Ger many and on the ground that as dl-
  had been cut off some such step was necessary. As such it attracted some attention After few weeks, how ever the editors of the Fatherland tired of the tameness of presenting German arguments and resorted to campaign of bitter assault against everything and everybody not actively o-German. The Fatherland today, as a result, is without influence eX- cept in it's own circle and without standing.
 But the next number of the Fatherland is to have an editorial which will state that the President of the United States has manufactured q war scare with Germany over the Lustania incident in order that he may use it as a club to force his preparedness and defense bills through congress. The editorial uses such terms as attempts to hypnotize the people into the support of the de- fense bills by giving out statements known to be false, relations with Germany are far from critical unless the administration should choose de liberately to make them SO; the at tempt is nothing short of criminal and Germany justly refused to settle
  faith of the United States was es- tablished.'
 Summed up, the Fatherland ac- cused the Wilson administra tion of falsification, of criminal tactics and of acting in bad faith with Germany. And the Hartford Courant seizes ereedily on this diatribe and plays it. upon it's first page under a double column heading, labeled as a special dispatch from New York.
 Tt is bad enough for a paper that exists for the express purpose of fur thering the interests of Germany to be allowed to circulate in this cOun- try statements so subversiVe to the interests of the United States, but it is incomparably worse for sup posedly American newspaper, theo- retically acting in the interests of America, to make use of them for the plain, evident and sole purpose of trying to discredit President Wilson for the simple reason that he hap pens to be of the opposite political faith and that an election is ap- preaching.
 For Shame."

THE PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE TO
 THE AMERICAN FLAG.

Who will doubt that President Will Son has spent every thought and en- Hrgy that has been vouchsafed" him n order to keep this country out uf RTar, when he himself tells his fellow fitizens of sleepless nights and days piled with anxiety? And then who, Utter reading the subjoined sentences. 1Sill raise his voice and declare that Woodrow Wilson is not q patriot. a rue American who loves his country Ind his flag above all earthly things? "As I look at that flag" said the chief magistrate in Des Motnes, Ia, last night, "I seem to see many characters upon it which are not visible to the physi. cal eye. There seem to move ghostly visions of devoted men who, looking to that flag, thought only of liberty, of the rights of mankind, of the mission of Amer lea to show the way to the world for the realization of those rights. And every grave of every brave man in the country would seem to have upon it the colors of the flag, if he were a true American would seem to have on it that stain of red which means the true pulse of blood; that patch of pure white which means the peace of the soul. And then there seems to rise over the graves of those men and to hallow their memories that blue space of the sky in which swim those stars { which exemplify for us the glor- 1 ious galaxy of the states of the Union, which stand together to vindicate the rights of mankind" And then, after having read the Foregoing, where is the man who Hould not, at the Presidents call go and place his life on the country's Rtar, ready to sacrifice all for the greater honor and glory of the na- son? If there lives in the United Bates such a man he is not a true american.
 Other men have gone before who Nillingly gave their lives for the Stars sad Stripes of America, other mel 8ill come after ready to emulate such zetriotic example. And many a #ght when it has seemed impossible &r the President ito sleep because uI 8e apparently inextricable difficulties Sto which our international relations &eres drifting" he has said to him. @lf, realizing he is daily charged 10 Nsep the country out of war and also uphold it's honor: ''I wonder if the Hsople of the United States fully 81ow what that mandate means to | ?" And then sleep has visited l Elm because he knew that there is l b9t man, or a boy. in America whv Nould not stand behind him in main- 1nited States. There is not a village, hamlet that would forsake him in zSch crisis. The President knows Nis, and it is the one pleasant thought Eat arises brilliantly above all others N3ut how are they going to do it?' @e Presidents asks. And that is u. ]
 estion It is but another case of &e spirit being willing and the flesh K ak. Modern war has revolution Fed the world. The mastering of
