How can I keep my husband home nights?" writes a lady reader of our great family journal. Knowing the writer as we to, we offer the follow ing: Get acquainted with the curl ing iron again; try the power of the trinity known as paint, powder and puffs; cultivate the smile he used to see on your face when he went court ing; open a joint in your home and invite in some of his cronies to play solo every evening; hue the rolling pin in the woodshed instead of un- der your apron when he comes home from work: cook decent meal for him occasionally. Try these things on him and the chances are that you can not only win, but hold your hus- Empire.

WORLDS PEACE COURT.

The first definite move has been made for the establishment of an in- court to which all nations will be asked to join and agree to submit difference to the tribunal be- fore going to war. There is now a demand for such a world s court. It's formation will be the nat ural outgrowth of the present war. I he time must come, furthermore, when the submitting of differences to an international tribunal will be com pulsory rather than voluntary. The time must come when the court will be backed with police powers to en : force it's demands against any nation W hich refuses to abide by it's decision. The Hague paved the way for the court it is purposed to establish, and while a court formed by the leading powers will be a big step in advance of the Hague plan. it will never be effective as an absolute preventive against war until given police pow CTS, the same as any common court of the land.-Chicago Herald.

Patriotic Teachers Suffer.

Patriotic Teachers Suffer.
 Many German school teachers who have voluntarily laid down their books and taken up arms for, the Fatherland have been disciplined by the school authorities of Prussia and Saxony for having dared to offer their services to their country with out having obtained the permission of their superiors. This has aroused the indignation of the Berliner Tag eblatt and that paper is carrying on 8 campaign in their behalf.
 In some cases the school authori- ties have decided that the teachers are not entitled to their salaries while working in the army or serving at hospital work, and have requested that the volunteers pay back what money they have already received from the school funds, which in most instances they are unable to do. Cor menting on this attitude of the au- thorities the Tageblatt remarks:
 This shows that the red tape of petrified ohicialdom cannot be broken even by the world war.'

FRIDAY. JANUARY IA. 191e
HAS IT COME TO THIS:

Already word comes from Washin- ton that many Democrats foresee trouble from that part of the Presi- dents Message dealing with the in- ternal enemies of the country. It is spoken of as raising an issue with the foreign born which may plague congressman in their districts and not be without effect on the coming pres ldential election.
 The President raises no issue with foreign-born citizens as class any more than his concurrent criticism of certain native-born citizens touches the whole body in that part of our citizenship. The issue he raises is with the reasonable plotters and the sedition sewers in our midst who have given evidence to betray this country's interests to serve the in terests of a foreign country. He ex- plicity declares that their number is not large, but that their malignancy is infinitely great. Against these he demands the government be given ad- equate protection.
 No doubt political opponents, if the move seems advisable, will in some cases. attempt to pervert from it's true meaning one of the most patri- ctic, conservative and justifiable dec larations ever made by an American President to an American Congress. No doubt there are today representa- lives at Washington who, under the influence of political timidity and self serving expediency, regret that the President struck straight out in be- half of the nation without consulting them as to its possible political effect.
 It is even possible that some ele- tnents of our foreign-born population, nisled by passion and prejudice or by men who have long practiced the srt of profiting from the natural sen ti!nents of various classes of our pop ulation, may take to themselves the censure leveled at only those who richly deserve 1t; may llloglcally as- sociate themselves with course of which they are in no wise guilty and with small section of the population of whose acts they cannot in the least approve.
 But what has all this to do with the matter? Has 1t come to this, that a President of the United States must .alter in the performance of his highest duty that is laid upon him be- cause of such considerations? Presi- dent Wilson's ringing words, based on facts as indubitable as the sun it. self, are the answer to such weak kneed consuls of doubt and such a trifiing with the highest interests of ihe nation. Tho truth--the truth alone-will make and keep us free.--- Juneau Empire,

BRITISH SEIZE
 GERMAN $ PAPERS
Copies Have Been Sent to American Embassy at London Showing
 Money Paid Plotters.

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The British authorities caused the papers of Cap tain Won Papen, former German military attache to the embassy at Washington, to be seized while he was en route from the United States to Sweden after having been withdrawn by the German government owing to his having become involved in num- Der of conspiracies. A search of the German officers pa pers reveals the fact that he acted as disbursing agent for the expendi- lures of moneys in organizing the |conspiracies in the United States to destroy intuition factories and crip- pie shipments to the European na- tions with when uermany is at war.
 Copies of the papers found in the possession of Captain von Papen have been sent by the British government to the American embassy in London. They show that frequent payments were made to intuition plotters and in many cases reveals the identity of the agents of the conspirators.
 The German consul at Seattle is believed to have been involved in the destruction of the barge containing dynamite in the Seattle harbor last year as one item shows $500 had been sent the consul from Washing ton just previous to the explosion.
