THE KAISER'S CLAIMED PART
NERSHIP GETS A JOLT.

According to the reported comments
of the Kaiser, on the clever work of
the American detectives, he must
seriously doubt his right to have ever
claimed a partnership with God. He
is reported rs saying that the Lord only
knows how those sleutbs learned to
read my cipher messages and ascer-
tain the channels through which they
were dispatched.
OF course no partner would with
hold such important information from
a co-partner. The Kaiser may even
suspect that the men were Divinely
guided who performed such seeming
ly impossible feats. He certainly has
good reasons upon which to base such
a suspicion.

HOME IN THE DARK.

when Sidney Porter 60. Henry
was dying, nurse came into the room
and began to turn down the light.
He looked at her smiling and said:
LET it alone, nurse; I do not want to
go home in the dark.D
Into the chamber of death she came
softly,
And on her wet lashes there trem-
bled tear;
She reached out her hand to turn the
light lower,
For she knew he was dying, the end
drawing nearer.
Gently he spoke as her hand touched
the burner,
And his fading eyes glowed with a
last, tender spark
AS smiling he whispered, Leave it
alone, dear.
do not want to go home in the
dark"

A TEUTONIC MASTERPIECE.
(From the Chicago Herald.)

The editor of the Cologne. Volks
Zeitung will never know how funny
he is. His comments on the Luxburs
revelations are masterpiece OF un.
conscious Teutonic humor.
More American Frying Into Officia1
Documents is the title of the edito'
rial.
Think of it, Here's a country thai
actually insists on reading something
not intended for it! In other words
it is infringing Germany's patent. Nc
wonder the editor feels aggrieved.
1.-THE State Department has again
published documents of which 1t OBJ
tanned possession by God knows what
underground methods" he proceeds to
specify.
With what beautiful consistency
/ this comes from a country with the
biggest spy system in the world and
the most complete official lie system!
But note the first intimation of a
doubt as to the reality Of the partner.
ship with God which the kaiser always
proclaims. God only knows" how
the wicked American government got
these notes and he won't tell the
militocracy! There must be some
thing wrong somewhere.
"Such matters are of course not for
publication" he adds in burst of
confidence.
They certainly are not. 1t is only
with trouble and expense that news
papers or governments get the docu-
ments relating to murder plots for
publication.
when published at ALL" this Teu-
tonic humoroist says, they may easily
hurt susceptibilities by some turn or
twist, like private conversations, which
although not ill-meant, may work
like poison when reported by the tat
tie Of third parties"
They certainly hurt susceptibilities.
Also those who are not expected to be
hurt. Witness Luxburg's dismissal
and the little surprise bonfire of Ger
man establishments at Buenos Aires.
"By some turn Or twist Like that.
or instance, which Bismarck gave
the report of the Ems interview, thus
precipitating the Franco-Prussian
war. The Germans are great on turn
ing and twisting. But no American
would have the heart or lack the art
to touch one letter of that statement
of rare lucidity-"sink without
trace"
"Not ill-meant"; of course not. The
idea was to sink the little ships and
murder the little people of the little
nation in friendly, even jovial, fash
ion.
"Such a poisoning process was OF
course the object of the Washington
government"
Again the note of moral indignation
and the cry of outrage from poison
monopolist who believes his privilege
corruptly infringed. 1t is really too
funny for anything-except' for an edi-
torial in a German newspaper.

Woman suffrage sustained crush
ing, two to one defeat at the election
in Maine last week. This is the first
response from the country to the per-
sistent picketing of the White House.
1t is no more than justice to the
cause of woman suffrage to say that
the large majority of those friendly to
the cause have no sympathy for or
dealings with the little bunch of noto-
riety seekers who have been badger
ing the President for the past few
months.

ROOTS DEFIN,Trnv OF TRAITORS

ROOTS DErINlT'NE OF TRAITORS.
Former President Taft introduced
Elihu Root to- the american Bar As
sociation, at its last meeting in Wash
ington, as the head Of the American
Bar, the most scholarly lawyer in the
country
q, In his great address at Chicago last
week, Mr.. Root gave the following as
his definition of traitors:
arguments against the war in
which the country is engaged are
enemy arguments. Their spirit is the
spirit of rebellion against the govern
ment and the laws of the United
States.
Their effect is to hinder and lessen
that popular support of the govern
ment in carrying on the war which
is necessary to success. Their man.
ifest purpose is to prevent action by
continuing discussion. They encour-
age the enemy They tend to intro
QuCG delay anu llIcSOIuLlOu lIlo Jul
own councils.
The men who are speaking and writ
ing and printing arguments against
the war now, and against everything
which is being done to carry on the
war, are rendering more effective ser
vice to Germany than they ever could
render in the field with arms in their
hands.
The purpose and effect of what they
are doing is so plain that it is i'm
possible to resist the conclusion that
the greater part of them are at heart
traitors to the United States and wilful-
ly seeking to bring about the triumph
of Germany and the humiliation and
defeat of their own country.
Anybody who seeks by argument
or otherwise to stop the execution OF
the order sending troops to France and
Belgium is simply trying to prevent
the American government from carry
ing on the war successfully. He is
aiding the enemies of his country, and
Manchester Democrat. [volume] (Manchester, Iowa) 1875-1930, 1917-09-19

if he understands what he is really do
ing he is a traitor at heart.
All those naturaliZed citizens who
are taking part in this obstruction to
our government in the conduct of the
war are false to their oaths, are for
feiting their rights of citizenship, are
repudiating their honorable obliga-
tions, are requiting by evil the good
that has been done them in the gener-
Gus and unstinted hospitality with
which the people of the United States
have welcomed them to the liberty and
the opportunities Of this free land

A NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN

This morning the large crowd that
assembled to see the departure for
Camp Dodge of number of Delaware
County soldiers witnessed never to
be forgotten scene.
A band played as the men march
ed from the court house. And then
the music ceased, the good-byes were
said and as the train moved west
ward with it's carload of soldiers
many continued to look in the direc-
ton of the train as long as it was in
sight. The loved ones left behind re-
alize that ere long the curtain of mill
tary secrecy will drop, and that
thereafter they will know but little
about what their soldier boys are do
ing or where they are going.
There We're some present at the de-
pot this morning who witnessed sim
liar scenes at the same depot m IRE
than fifty years ago. The soldiers who
went south at that time helped to make
this country union of states, a union
of lands, a union that none can sever.
Most of them returned to enjoy hon
ored positions as citizens of happy,
united country. Some did not return.
They helped with their blood to &C.
ment their countrys bonds Of union.
The soldiers of today are going forth
to help extend the principles of the
Declaration of Independence to all
mankind. Such an extension will be
guarantee of safety to American
homes and American institutions and
an uplift for the entire human race.

| the ground of engagement in agricul-
ture or industry has been made in the
District Board There is no appeal to
the President from the action of the
local board in dependency or other
cases whose determination is within
the jurisdiction of the local board.

es other than those involving the de-
cision of the District board on agri-
culture or industrial exemptions from
whatever source received; all affida-
Wits, letters, arguments, evidence, pa
pers or other matter, not considered
by the District Board; all appeals

When good Egyptian Cream is used.
1t is good when made according to
the following recipe:
ounces aqua ammonia.
1 ounce alcohol.
IA ounce borax.
1-2 ounce white CASTLE soap
Dissolve the solids in 1 pint of hot
soft water. Then add l pint cold
soft water and the liquids. Apply
with sponge.
The foregoing is correct. The Egyp-
tan cream formula published in this
paper two weeks ago was incorrect
Cut this out and save it. 1t is valu-
able recipe.
