Might Alone Will Not DO.

A well known Catholic daily of
Switzerland. the "Iuercher Neuesten
Nachrichten', states under date of
Nov. IA that "Pan-Germans, who are
working under cover against Repre-
sentative Erzberger and Chancellor
Hertling, seem to overlook entirely
what a painful impression their policy
Of brute physical force must make on
friendly outsiders and how much this
policy may harm Germany at the peace
congress. Erzberger was under the i'm
preston that Germany could make a
concession to France in regard to Lor-
raine, provided France would consider
the Papal note. With this view he
was i'm complete accord with the ma
jOrity Of those neutral German
friendly nations who want to bring
about decent relations between the Ger
mans and the French after the war In
the interests Of con, iliental Europe"
Another reply to the Pan-Germans,
who are attempting their utmost to re-
gain their lost standing with the coun-
try, was made on the 10th of Deem
Der by Prince Max Of Baden In his adj
dress to the Upper House. In his
speech, which created q sensation in
Germany, he declared: Power alone
can never secure u position, and our
sword alone will never be able to tear
down the opposition. We must try to
show our enemy that behind our power
stands q clear conscience and fairness"
Here we have another representative
of the German people who points out
that brute force will never convince
anybody that the Central Powers are
no a soulless military machine, wound
up for conquest. Until that impression
Is removed-and it can only be re-
moved by action of the German people
1T is impossible to hope for any cor
dial reapproachment between the fight
ing nations. Real patriots in Germany
like Erzberger, Prince Max, ETC., know
that only by standing up for real de-
mocracy. for fairness, and true liberty
towards all, can their country escape
the inevitable disaster which must fol-
low this struggle.

UphOlds Iowa Inheritance Tax.

law levying a tax Of five per cent on
legacies to citizens of this state, but
twenty-five per cent upon those to alien
non-residents was upheld as valid by
the U. s. supreme court in a decision
rendered Dec. 10.
The same court also sustained the
North Dakota inheritance tax law
levying a tax of twenty-five per cent on
property willed to aliens living in for
eign countries, but from 1 IL to 9 II
per cent IN requests to resident cit
liens.
These decisions are very important.
