DON'T BANISH GERMAN.

At the outbreak of the war various petty things were suggested, one of them being that newspapers published in German should be suppressed, and the German language should not be allowed in the high schools or other schools.
 We are glad to see that such small peanuts did not fit we'll with the peo- ple's ideas of justice. If we were at war with England nobody would think of suppressing English newspapers nor the English language in the schools! Besides, such cheap stuff is unconstitutional.
 So long as German publications in this country are patriotic, and Ger man-speaking persons likewise, that's all that is necessary.

 SYMPTOMS

A leading physician of Chicago says: Merely easing the pain with narcotics to give relief is long ways from a cure for stomach trouble Be- sides the danger of neglect or made quate treatment may lead to more serious maladies.

Mothers are the heroines of peace as we'll as of war, and it is entirely proper that one day in the year should be sent apart to do them honor.
 The purpose of this is to suggest that those who are so fortunate as to have their mothers with them plan to utilize the day for some demonstra- tion of affection that will make them happy in the knowledge of the love and consideration of their children.

LORD ROSEBERY 70 YEARS OLD.

London, May 7.-The Earl of Rose bery, former British premier, cele- brated his 10th birthday anniversary today, having been born May 7, 1847. Although two decades have elapsed since Lord Rosebery voluntarily with drew from active participation in poli- tics, he is still more or less potent factor in the public affairs of the en- pire. From time to time during the past two or three years, when affairs in England have appeared at a critical stage, the former prime minister has emerged from his retirement to give vent to public utterances that have carried great weight with the people. In recent conversations with close friends he is said to have expressed immeasurable satisfaction over the entering the war on the side of the course taken by the United States in allies.

AN HONOR.

IL is an honor to serve ones cour- try. It is an honor to be selected by the government to such task. It is an honor to have the stamp of physi- cal fitness officially applied by the government.
 This selective draft means entering i,.to a charmed circle to which every one is not given to enter. The re- quircments are high. No young lady, interested in a young man, need ever doubt his perfection of manhood if Uncle same considers him good enough to fight in his armies.

 Tt would be wrong to attribute this policy to pro-Britishism. During the war President Wilson pursued an American policy above all, to which is ascribable Americas huge development of armaments.
