GERMANISM IN AMERICA.
Newspapers Wield Vicious and Terri bIe Influence Over Americans of
 German Birth By Vilifying


 Chicago Tribune)
 The federal authorities have at last determined to deal vigorously with the German language press and we trust that their orders are broad enough to provide for an investiga- tion of "Das Jahrbuch der Deutschen in Chicago fur das Jahr 1916" It glorities everything German, islanders our allies. and is contemptuous of Yankees. In tone and spirit it is a German language newspaper between covers
 There is abundant evidence that such papers wield an enormous and thoroughly vicious influence over Am ericans Of Greman birth or descent, but now and then it appears that they have overshot the mark. An occa- sional "German' American protests. Except that protest is dangerous, more would.
 Since the publication of "Why the Immigrant Remains an Alien". in- numerable letters have poured in up- on its author. Admiral C. r. Goodrich and by far the most significant is one from a German Lutheran pastor who calls for the suppression of the Ger man language newspapers in America during the war.
 No other nation would tolerate them,' says he. Tt is not enough to censor them. They would laugh at censorship. You cannot censor the right spirit into publication. It would also be difficult to find censors who are willing and able to do this work conscientiously. A casual read CT of the German papers may find lit %~ ,1Ni r1,0 can read between the lines will be prompted to tear the miserable sheet into pieces.'
 This German Lutheran pastor re- gards the German press as the great est single menace to true Americanism existing" Says he: The German pa pers are not printed for the benefit of America, but for the benefit of Germany. They have championed Ger many's cause with the greatest fan aticism. The men connected with these papers are sometimes unnatur- alized German subjects. Do you think that our government ought to allow open enemies of America to publish their seditious ideas openly in their newspapers? There were things ex- pressed in these papers which would not be tolerated if any man dared to utter them on the street,
 The most damaging paragraph in the German Lutheran pastors attack, as we look at it, is the following: Tn Germany not all papers are agreed with everything the government may do but these Germans papers In Amer | ica are always in full and hearty ac- cord with the kaiser and his minions. Thus the German-American press is really more German than many papers in Germany. Some of the German ed itors in Germany who dared to give America some little credit and jus- tlce have been savagely attacked by the German press of America. The German American press seems to be the representative of the Junkers. Perhaps it receives a subsidy directly from Berlin.
 Thanks for this last. We might have hesitated to say it ourselves but the guess is a shrewd one, and, com- ing from German-American, as it does. may furnish a tip to the secret seryice-not without result.

The Business at Hand.

Dur business now, our one Esiness is to lick Germany. This n leave us little time for the l.her flights or the finer shades. lr the present we can't stop tt |rry too much over personal yubles or class troubles Passion of privilege or rights, Ierference with leberties of eech or action, We can't adle our consciences overmuch, pause to worry about our ,lls. If we do, our team-play Il suffer-and we are done for. srrid, admit; unpleasant, Emitive, anything you like. fly the human race is capable such folly. Bat such is war, sced by Germany upon us; a such are it's conditions. And

ANOTHER OLD-TIMER PASSES.
Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree No Village Smithy Stands,-A Ga rage Instead We Find For He Has Gone to Other Lands.
(Waterbury Republican

(Waterbury Republican,. A melancholy sign Of the times from tho Woodbury Reporter:
 NOTICE s-.=~ 2t-
 My blacksmith shop will be
 closed for good at noon on Sept.
 29th, l917 unless sold to other parties.
 J. B. HALL. Hotchkissville. We have not the pleasure of MT. Halls acquaintance but the editor of The Reporter, in chronicling his retirement from business, says he has been blacksmthing in Hotch- kissville for many years. His soE has been engaged with him, but pre- fers other business. and as Mr. Halls eyesgilt is failing he is shutting up shop much to the regrc. of the com- munity. Thus another New England village loses it's blacksmith shop.
 What is becoming of the village smithy in these days of rubber and gasoline? Alas, it Is slowly perish ing, though often making q brave fight. Sometimes 8 location on a main travelled road enables an ener- getic proprietor to work a transfor- mation scene, put Up the sign ga rage" and do a somewhat similar business at goodly prices. But horses journeyed where .autom oEiles seldom go and not every old blacksmith shop is able to recoup It's fortunes when the demand for horse sh oes and wag- on repairs fall off. The garage trade tends inevitably to centralization. So many of the old smithies are closing their doors.
 We shall miss the blacksmith shops. They were dispensares of inforna- ton. The direction of the roads, tho state of the roads, the names and doings of the people who lived along the roads and travelled on the roads, the prospects for crops, the chances of getting game, the signs for fishing.-if you wanted to know these things you stopped at the first blacksmith shop. Either the black smith or some of his cust toners could tell you. There were generally cus- toners waiting for their jobs to be finished, telling merry tales, cracking jokes, gravely discussing politics. ma. tional, state and town. Many a. shrewd political scheme has started in the blacksmith shop at the four cor- ners.
 Also, we shall miss the black smith. Doing business with an en- tire town, and seeing the whole ac- tive life of the community pass be- fore him daily, he was judicial, rather than partisan. Somewhat of a phil- osopher, too! He had ample oppor- tunities for observation, equal oppor- tunities for reflection as he piled his manly trade. He knew a great deal more than the price of horseshoe x nails. Was not Elihu Burritt of New Britain a blacksmith? The buzz wagon age will not develop philos- ophers of the same type. The garage man Is more worldly wise and cyn- ical. He acts as though he knew too much of the frailties of humanity. He has little leisure for reflection.

DEFEND OUR BOYS.

To the Editor of the Herald:
 Thank you for defending our boys from the sweeping accusation of the Bay State correspondents. Connecti- cut should worry. And Massachusetts pen singers need not show soreness because Connecticut has overdone her legal share in everything, and try giv- ing them a black eye because of J. Barleycorn. I believe they needed something if they were wet to the skin and had to stand for hours in that condition.
