"Mr. Roosevelt's Opportunity"

Under the foregoing caption the New York Times analyses the republican situation showing that Colonel Roosevelt by his Americanism stands merely pre- eminent but alone among the who have been considered for the nomination for the presidency.
 Says the Times
 On the list of Favorite Sons of the primaries republicans who voted flor the McLenore resolu- tion embargosts hyphenophilists There is plenty of hard work for MT. Roosevelt to do in the republican party for the suppression the sinister revival of the politico-racial hyphen in politics.; and in refusing any compromise with the politicians who put votes above the principles of Americanism, he does more than partisan, he does national patri otc service.
 It is as national statesman, and not prog ressve who seeks republican honors, that this oppor tunity An American. he will be preaching the gospel of undivided loyalty and allegiance to the United States: American arousing populations ig norantly the defenseessness of the United States and the unacceptable patriotic American duty of preparedness.

"The Fstherland's" Pacifism

"The Fatherand" of New York, product of the war designed to mould in America a sentiment favorable to Germany has lately been guilty of an indiscreton if not of something much worse. It has shown something than a friendness to Ger many such every journal and every citizen has a right to do. It has shown apparent unfriendness to America, which no man. citizen temporary resi- dent within the country has a right do It ridi- culed the late great preparedness parade in New York and the purposes of the demonstration.
 If the "Fatherland" purely American jour nal and were advocating pacifism it might without suspicion have taken such attitude toward that parade and toward preparedness generally. We have many we'll meaning pacifists who good Americans who think they are and who honestly believe that preparedness is either unnecessary wholly wrong The "Fatherand" though, had never expressed such a view. The parade have angered it and surprised it into expression of views which it had hitherto concealed.
 The outburst of the "Fatherland" standing alone would not be significant but it becomes significant and un n-American or anti-American when consider it in connection with the fact that many German American newspapers lean toward pacifism All this
Arizona republican., 1916-05-21

becomes the significant in view of an article in the Vorwaerts" of Berlin last January by Dr. Rorh- back lecturer of the University of Berlin to which by Colonel Roosevelt in his speech at Detroit Friday night Dr. Rorhback wrote:
 Tt is perhaps open to question whether German interests would derive benefit from American arma rnent. In order form opinion would have to be able to foresee what lines German policy will follow after the conclusion of peace and particularly how relations with Japan will shape themselves. It seems quite conceivable that in an American Japanese war should adopt an atti- tude of very benevolent neutrality toward Japan and thereby make it easier for her America In that case why should help American arma- ment policy? I cannot see, therefore, that German political aims would be forwarded, ipso facto by German Americans lending themselves to schemes for American armament"
 We may take into that the unfriendli- United States contained in that article is of recent origin; that grew out of the German conception that this country has been unneura since the beginning of the We may concede that there good ground Germany for this unfriendliness but Germany is not the United States and think that the "Fatherland" pr. Rorhbacl interprets rightly the sentiment of German Americans They for the part loyal to German traditions but they thereby, for the most part, none the less loyal to the country of their adoption.
 German American newspapers making serious mistake if their chief aim is sent- ment in this country favorable to Germany. German Americans already entertain a sentiment favorable to Germany: so do thousands of Americans who are not of German descent. But the sentiment of only the latter but German Americans themselves, is likely to be aenated by attacks upon American in- sttutons by thnly yelled hostility America itself

Suppression of the News

There are few days in any newspaper office when some does not call in behalf of either himself a friend beg the suppression of story of dis grace. It is usually stated that the favor is asked for the delinquent but his mother. wife sister daughter from humiliation publicity Newspapers a rule weaken before such appeals unless the story of a kind defes killing" so that great deal of cussedness" is kept under We have often thought that newspapers which weaken fail in their duty It is proper only that the guilty should be punished but that the public should be apprised of their guilt and put guard against them Also, rigid policy of such publicity, think, would do much toward deterring others from the commission of such offenses.
 On this subject under the caption "On Account of His Mother" the (Emporia (Kans) Gazette lately said:
 Occasionally who has been hauled into police asks that his be withheld of his mother And Gazette being long suffering, generally shows respect for the boys mother the boy himself show and grants request.
 Tt takes a lot of nerve for a boy to ask newspaper withhold his name connection with a police court story, because the person who makes the request virtually admits that he expects the paper to show respect that he lacks
 Getting into police court and staying out of police court is optional with persons until the end of time white-lvered individuals get in will crawl to the newspaper offices and others respect mothers whom they, by their presence in police court, show that they do not respect"
 F. P. A. of the Coming Tower observes
 Tt also happens in newspaper offices that friends of men who deserve mercy ask newspapermen suppress facts omit comment of respect the mans family The wrong-doers furnish the family and the newspapers furnish the respect"
 We think that the families would suffer less in the long run if there less of the anaesthesia of newspaper respect and instead, if there should be a prompt surgical operation such publicity would afford Neither 'old mother" nor a patient will recover if kept under anaesthetic constantly
