BE FAIR

N Pendleton, and doubtless
y elsewhere all over the
country unfair and untrue
stories have been circulated as
to utterances or behavior on
the part of certain citizens of
German birth. Justice calls
for caution in accepting such
stories without first verifying
them.
If you know of reasonable
action or talk on the part of
anyone report the facts to the
sheriff or the police, so they
may keep tab on the men in
question. But be careful in
circulating hearsay stories
bearing upon a mans loyalty.
Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you under
similar circumstances.
AS a matter of fact the Uni
ted States will have no trouble
with the great mass of German
born people in this country.
They viii be loyal to Uncle
Sam, as they should be. Be-
ing such they will be entitled
to the rights and privileges of
American citizenship. Let
them have them.
