Don't Keep Them Too
Long in Office, Is Lesson
KI0ka Case Teaches

Two terms are enough for any public
official
While a private concern considers that
a ;s n IT'S advantage TO keep compe-
tent man, promoting him from time to
time in appreciation of merit and faith
full service it would not do so If 1t found
its promoted employees consulting their
own interests first in an arrangement
TO perpetuate themselves.
It is individual service and merit that
finds reward in private business. The
man who engages in a conspiracy against
the institution doesn't last long on the
Job. and he ought not to last long.
Neither should a public official last
long under such circumstances, and an
awakening on the part of the people IS
quite likely to result in future in the
breaking of political family arrange
ments such as Wayne county has ex-
perienced, and with Wayne county, the
city of Detroit.
It remained for a newcomer to an
office in the county building to discover
that a servant Of the people who had
stolen from them within the knowledge
of other officials was BEING RE-
TANNED IN HIS POSITION OF RE-
SPONSIBILTTY.
But for the coming into office of this
NEW official, who did not belong TO the
machine crowd" THIS SERVANT OF
THE PEOPLE, A CONFESSED THIEF,
WOULD STILL HAVE HIS PLACE
AND THE PEOPLE WOULD REMAIN
IN IGNORANCE.
Ousting an official here and there will
help the situation in spots only tempo
rarily.
Ousting the CROWD" Is the only
thing that will count, and the surest
way TO do that is to call for complete
set of new men and new officeholders
every two years at the very least.

!. More Than a ThOrO-
fare-An Institution and
An Inspiration

We welcome to the throbbing West
Side the wonderfully ample and attrac-
tive Book Building, which occupies nearly
an that part and parcel of the west side
of Washington Boulevard situate be-
tween Grand River and State, and which
has perfected plans to occupy more when
certain leases expire.
Other modern buildings on this i'm
posing boulevard, which was nobly plan
ned to allow breathing space and sense
of arching skies, are entwined with pride
full family histories. Whitney, Hecker,
Stevens, Gray-these are among the
builders of this new artery of trade,
where utilitarianism and sightliness are
happily joined.
But while these estates at intervals
made the start on the establishment of a
high-charactered shopping center, it re-
manned for the Book Estate to make such
extensive investments in Washington
frontage that the exclusive trading quail
ity of the street would be fixed for all
time.
The notable width of the boulevard
and its limitation as to length both lend
themselves to the realization of this def
mite plan-offering facilities for the de-
velopment of fashionable trading dis
trict without parallel outside of New
York's fascinating Fifth avenue.
The genius and enterprise that have
thus solved the problem growing out of
Woodward avenues congestion, call for
highest commentator. Good business
sagacity is back Of it all, but the public
service involved is none the less crafty
ing.

Understand the Germans?

Do Americans understand Germans?
The Germans say we do not.
The Germans are correct.
Few Americans even yet have the
slightest conception of the ideas which
govern Germany.
Many Americans have only lately come
to believe the facts of German barbarism.
They could not trust any evidence, so
absolutely impossible did such things as

The POtsdam Pirates
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank crane)

Any one who coins new phrase, one
that exactly fits what we've all along
been thinking, has rendered us a distinct
service.
Somehow a phrase, even an epithet or
happy adjective, is a sort of condensed
argument, capsuling in itself the gist of
what we've felt and believed, but weren't
able to say, without bothersome re-
dundancy.
The Reverend Doctor Henry van Dyke,
one-time United States minister to Hol-
land, and at all times felicitous poet and
word craftsman of caste, hammered out
a little term from his thoughtworks the
other day, in an address to a club in New
York; the said work of art being as fol-
lows, to-wit:
"The man who, without warning, sank
the Lusitania, taking the lives Of hun
dreds of women and children, is nothing
more than pirate-a Potsdam pirate"
Taking up this little woodwork and
turning it over, we admire it's aptness. its
concinnity, its sharp angle, and its re-
freshing near-flavor Of profanity.
We would not swear. of course, as so
doing would be naughty, but the best of
us, when our feelings are wrought up,
enjoy word that, when you examine it
judiciously. is perfectly proper, but when
you hear it first sounds mighty like
humdinger.
Reference here Is, for instance, to the
dam in Potsdam. There's something
about dam, even.in mill dam. Golfer dam,
or tinkers dam, that has some Of the
excitement of narrow escape in it.
When you say the Potsdam Pirate you
mean no more than if you said the
Petrograd Car, but somehow the tongue
fingers and the word suspiciously sep
arates into suggestive syllables in the
saying thereof.
And, by the way, the title fits.
BY every sort of standard the Pots
dam gentry have earned the name of
pirates.
Technically, perhaps, the submarine
crimes of Germany may not be piracy,
as the marauders are properly com
missioned and authorized by some es-
tablished state" But in the spirit and
essence of the matter they are as guilty
as any buccaneer that ever raided the
Spanish Main, or any corsair that ever
sailed out of Barbary.
In this: That they wantonly destroy
the lives and property of non-comba-
tants, even women and children, as in
the case of the Lusitania.
When you add TO this the horrible de-
struction Of unoffending Belgium, the
barbarous outraging of her homes, the
pillage of her property, and the carry
ing away into slavery Of her manhood;
also the air raids upon England where
children and women are the victims; and
the general frightfulness, ruthlessness
and inhumanity Of Germany's war meth
DDS, you are forced to admit that the
term Potsdam Pirates Is not half bad.

been done calmly, coolly and with malice
aforethought.
Germany is not mad dog foarning a
the mouth.
The nation is mad, but it is the COO
lunacy of a poisoned brain, not the rec
fury of rabies.
To find out what is the matter with
Germany it is necessary TO go 10 the
source of German ideas-to the thinkers
who have fashioned her ideals for the
past two generations.
Following are some quotations which
tell the tale.
They are the words of the men who
have been most widely rea dand most
widely believed by the Germans of to-
day.
These thinkers have put into unquali-
fed statement the principles upon which
the Prussian power was founded and has
grown great.
Like all philosophers they have simply
reflected in their books the world about
them
In turn their statements of the ma
tional ideals have had the effect Of
strengthening and crystallizing them.
The German gets his ideas from
books and from philosophers more than
any other modern man.
The German professor yields an in
fuence of which we know nothing in this
country of unmuzzled newspapers, free
politics and unlimited discussion on the
stump.
Here is the German creed as formulat-
ed by Germany's own philosophers:
Not only must the state be obeyed It must be
venerated as God, Success insured by might
is the measure Of right-Hegel
Weak nations have no right 20 existence and
must be absorbed by powerful nations. The es-
sence Of the state is power Nothing exists or
can exist which is superior 70 the state
Tretschke.
The state can do no wrong The observance
OF treaties is not a matter OF duty but OF ad-
vsntage.-Adolphus Lassen.
Love God above all things and thy neighbor
as myself This law can claim no significance
for the relations Of one country 70 another There
never has been and never viii be universal rights
OF men.-Bernhardi
Morality is a symptom Of decadence. War Is
necessary TO the state as slavery is 20 society.
Might is the source Of right There Is no right
other than that OF theft. usurpauon and violence.
-Nietzsche.
And finally the renegade Englishman
Houston Chamberlain, who hates his own
country and from his Berlin home has
for years savagely attacked Englishmen
as decadent, because they would not &C
cept the German theories, says:
"Mihtarism is the indispensable instru-
ment of German culture, it builds its
brightest hopes Of supremacy on the ex-
termination Of others"
There are Americans who believe in
such theories and try to practice them.
For them we maintain many peniten-
tiaries and electric chairs.
We do not honor them with decora-
tons nor place them in the chairs of our
universities.
No American has ever successfully
published book upholding such doc
trines.
In Germany such books can be bought
at any railway news stand.
Is il any wonder the Germans say we
can't understand them?
