 Congress and the administration are siugularly easy-going and gen. erous toward the enmies Of the Un- tied States in two particulars. Al ShOuga the United States has been at war since April 6, no law has been passed prohibiting trading with the enemy. Germans in neutral couH tries ale obtaining money from the United states and sending it to Germany. The other mistake is the assumu,iou that all enemy aliens in the Juited states are harmless un- less they attract attention by some overt act.
 Central and south America have many euterpriSing German residents some CfJhem citizens of the repub- lies and others retaining their Ger man allegiance. All of them are, in fact. loyal to Germany, and the German empire claims them, even il they have expatriated them selves. These men are keen trad CTS. usually leaders in business, and rescurceful financially and other wise. Many of them have estab- lisued connections in the United States through which they buy and sell. They have strong credits her and gan obtain heavy advances. The coffee interests of certain republics are largely in German hands, and the business is financed from tf United States. The Germans concerned are now drawing upon America for gold or it's equivalent against the forthcoming crops, and there $ nothing to prevent the dis patch Of this money to Germany. Congress is either utterly ignorant of the situation or absolutely in- different to it. The Presidents embargo against gold exports means nothing so long as American Citi- gems aI4 permitted to trade with the enemy in neutral countries.
 As for alien enemies, all that the United States government needs to do is 10 study the Mare Island ex- plosion. This occurred in a govern ment reservation, supposedly under strict guard. In manner not yet discovered, alien enemies or Am erican traitors gained entrance and placed explosives so that powder magazine was blown up.
 Yet alien enemies are permitted 10 violate the Presidents proclama- lion ordering them kept away from navy yards, arsenals and other gov ment property. Licenses are given to alien enemies to remain within the prescribed areas. The Depart ment 0, Justice seems to be seized with 3 morbid fear that influential Germans may be made angry if the government dares to make itselr safe against plOtters and bomb throwerS.
 Keeuly intelligent enemies are permitted to remain in the District of Columbia, where they can learn many important government plans and military secrets. Why is this? Is the Department of Justice think

enemies. They did not originate or desire this hideous war or wish that we should be drawn into it; and We are vaguely conscious that we are fighting their cause, as they will some day see it. as we'll as our own. They are them selves in the grip of the same sin ister power that has now at last drawn its ugly talons out and drawn blood from us"
 Every American soldier in this war fights for objects dearer to all of Us than life itself-for free dom and democracy, for the safe ty of our own homes and families, for the honor of our country. You will think often of these objects during your period of training and after you actually enter the trench es. The more you will think about them, the greater will be your pride that you are one of those first chosen to defend them.
 The world must be made safe for democracy"

Luck.


Frank E. Luck, aged Sc, died at 6
O'Clock Tuesday evening at the county
hospital of neuritis. which developed
following an attack of sciatic rheuma-
tism two years ago. Mr.. Luck was not
an inmate of the county farm, but was
being cared for in the hospital, where
his wife was employed as nurse, and
where she could give him personal at
tention and still remain employed. Be-
fore he became i'll Mr.. Luck was en-
ployed by H. Willard, Son & Co., In
this city.
Mr.. Luck was native Of Belmond.
where he was born May 81, 1861. He
had been married twice, his second
wife having been Miss Anna Hogue, OF
Hampton, Mr.. and Mrs. Luck came
here from Belmond six years ago. In
addition to his widow Mr.. Luck Is sur
vived by three children by his first
marriage They are Marvin, Arthur
and Ethel.
Mr.. Luck was member Of the Bel
mond Masonic and Odd Fellows lodges,

acres, which was purchased by Bassett
Blakely, now Of Houston, but formerly
of this county.
1.-THE deed filed for record gives the
above acreage, and the consideration
as t2b9.5s6, or $40 an acre. This was a
famous sugar and cotton plantation be-
fore the war, and years ago. when own
ed by the Willis family Of Galveston,
was pronounced the finest plantation
in the sugar bowl of Texas But after
the Galeston storm in 1900 that section
lost much Of its prosperity AND values
deprecated greatly. Mr.. Sears, coming
down into this section, was greatly i'm
pressed with its fertility and its vast
possibilities. He accordingly purchased
the Darlington place in 1908, and as the
records show, paid $7o.54S.o0 for S,l6S
acres. or $3.50 per acre.
An additional deed from Sears to
Blakely conveys the Lake Jackson
tract. formerly part Of the Daring
ton plantation, the consideration for
the 212.2 acres being 1878, or $50 per
acre.
1.-THE present selling PRICE shows that
the Brazos and Oyster Creek valleys
are coming into their own. Their SOIL
is equal to that of the valley of the
Nile, and, when an adequate supply
of labor can be had, will command $125
to $3.50 an acre.
when such lands will this year
produce, when properly cultivated, 500
to $3.50 an acre, what valuation can be
put upon them?
Mr.. Blakely has had great faith in
Brazoria county land and is always
ready to take on some more of 1t.
"The deal reserves to Mr.. Sears
mineral lease on the property which
may prove valuable asset, as wells are
now drilling north and southwest of the
with encouraging prospects for
oil, Strong parties are arranging to
drill on Chenango plantation, a few
miles south.
This oil interest will probably in
sure Mr.. Sears remaining in the coast
country much Of his time For the past
eight years he has spent his winters
here and made many friends among
our southern people, who have found
him progressive in his ideas and square
in his dealings"

Nevertheless. scarlet fever is one

HE PAID HIS FINE

The third time proved TO be the
charm in the case of Roy Ogan, better
known as "Thug" among his assoei-
ates, according to the police. Over
year ago Ogan was arrested on drunk
charge and sent to Jail. He was as
signed to work about the city hall and
escaped. Rearrested, he was placed
on the chain gang and again slipped
away on pretext of going down town
on an important mission He struck
town again this week and was jailed
to serve his sentence. When he went
out on the streets yesterday afternoon
he had ball and chain ornament and
came in with real blisters on his
hands. He was tired, too, but not too
weary to crawl to the telephone and
convince his friends that they ought
to put up $4 and get him out of the
scrape, which they did.
