oERMANAMERIcANs DO NOT MERIT ABUSE

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Certain administration newspaper organs grow
more bitter daily in denunciation and abuse of
GermanA American citizens.
We fail to see either sense or patriotism in this
conduct
Why is the German American citizen not as use
fuI and not as good citizen the Irish American,
the English American, the French American, the
Canadian American, the Italian-American?
Yet none Of these hyphenates ever spoken of in
ermS'of ridicule and abuse by the newspapers which
constantly ridicule and abuse our German American
citizens.
The actual truth is that no country has furnish
ed MS with more intelligent more industrious, a
more lawabiding excellent and useful body of cti-
zens than has Germany.
The great mass of German American citizens are
IN honor to their German ancestry and credit to
the land of their adoption.
Our GermanAmerican citizens have conducted
themselves in the midst of trying circumstances and
under the most outrageous and cowardly taunts,
falsehoods and abuse with dignifed patience that
Il worthy of the traditions of their great and
which ought to shame their traducers and malign-
ers into silence.
We are as sure as we can be that the mass of de-

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Circuit Judge Ashfords criticism of the get
divorced-quick system in Hawaii is entirely justi-
fed. The divorce evil is growing one though little
Recognized because there are comparatively few
legal separations in the upper stratum of the So
called white community and this community pays
small attention to the marital troubles of Orientals
and other races.
The get-married-quick evil is both cause and an
eject Of the getdivorcedquick system We should
Ike to the circuit judges and some of the social
workers who are constantly learning the family
tragedies resulting from these evils counsel together
and devise legislation to be introduced in 1917.

sentence and Germans Immediately drew contrast
between his case and that of Sir Roger Easement,

the court had prevented him from gaining public
sympathy But now he is sentenced to four years
penal seryitude and loses his civil rights for six
years, in addition to being expelled by the army.
What was the matter with the first sentence?

THE MENACE OF THE BLACKLIST.

Uncle Sans note of protest 10 Great Britain last
month upon the blacklist of American firms has had
no appreciate effect ard the firms who figure the
victims of an organized boycott wondering il
they are to secure redress
In Hawaii little is heard of local application OF
the boycott but recently there has been persistent
rumoFs that one or more firms have been put the
blacklist and what is even more obnoxious to all
ideas of fair play, that number of American firms
have received queries from British to the
conduct of their business. The queries in reality
are yelled threats .---.. -
In its note of protest the state department said
Conspicuous among the principles which the ciyiliz
ed nations of the world have accepted for the safe
guarding Of the rights of neurals is the just and hon
orabe principle that neutrals may not be condemned
their goods contscated except upon fair adjudca
ton and after opportunity to be heard in prize
courts elsewhere Such safeguards the blacklist
brushes aside 1t condemns without hearing, without
notice and In advance. 1t is manfestly out Of the
question that the government of the United States
should acquiesce in such methods applications Of
punishment TO its citizens. II T. Is
Diplomacy often works through hidden channels
and perhaps the administration is securing some
guarantee from Britain that the vicious boycott
will not be enforced against American firms. But
the circumstances far as known suggest that the
blacklist plan is being pushed farther and farther
Some Of the inquiry made by British officials as to
the conduct of business by American firms is not
only impairment but is in effect an utimatum car
rying a threat of punishment-a threat intoler-
able to Americans Of backbone.
