WHY GERMANY WILL BE BEATEN

Born within few miles Of the German frontier of a Dutch father and German mother, Louis Rae hackers, the famous cartoonist has spent great part of his forty-odd years in close touch with Ger mans.
 That is why I certain they must be beaten until every bone is broken" he declares. T know well and they must be trampled on until their national spirit is broken. Germans have two souls One is the with which they meet their friends with which they live. The other is the one they devote to the nation. Every German is Pan-Ger- man. They have been schoCled from the time they were children to do what the nation required, no matter how and degrading it might be. Yet I sincerely believe that the defeat of Germany will after the years of readustment be more welcome to the people of Germany than to those of any nation now fighting They will realize then how false their Magazine.

POSTAGE HYPOCRISY.

For rank hypocrisy nothing beats
the proposition to cut the first class
postage rate to a penny on the ground
that it will be a saving to the COM
mon people.
1t would not be a saving of four
cents month to the common people,
but would, on the contrary, shift upon
them much of the postage expense Of
the big mailing houses, especially the
stock jobbers. To meet the reduction
in revenue, the postoffice department
would be empowered to increase the
rate on newspapers. magazines and
other publications, and, the publish
ers, in these days of trust prices fNr
paper, would have to shift the in
creased cost over upon the readers.
1t is simply another slick scheme
through which Big Business seeks to
make all the people carry part OF its
expenses. There is no public demand
for penny drop letter postage" What
Postmaster General Burleson hears is
the seductive whisper of Big Business
and the indications are that he's got
an earful of it, more's the pity.

TAXING THE LAPDOG.

TAXING THE lAPOOG.
Consider the dog:
There are watch dogs, and hunting
dogs and lapdogs, and just dogs.
Now consider the dog tax: All pay
the same, and the ownerless just dog
is seized for his debt to the commun-
ity and cast into the pound, which Is
the canine death cell.
Now consider France, which IT," ctas
this country many things:
~ France has reduced the tax on
watch dogs to 40 cents year; hunt
ing dogs pay the same old dollar, but
most of them have joined the army,
where they pay no tax at all.
Lapdogs, though. the fluffy pets from
China and the hairless ships from
Mexico, the silly, pampered, sugar
chewing fnger-biting prize winners
that sleep in silken baskets, must pay
at least $40 a year to live, and every
additional lapdog, II the owner has
more than one, must cough up $40.
There seems to be here the germ OF
a big idea.
A tax on uselessness!

The physician, according to accepted

HANLEY AND COLE EXTRA
JUDGES IN Y0UMAN's CASE

North DakOta's mothers pension act
is constitutional and hundreds OF
agreements made under the provisions
of this statute are binding.
The North Dakota supreme court
this morning. confirmed the constitu-
tionality of the law which enables the
state to pension mothers when it re-
versed the Cass district courts deci-
sion in favor of Cass county in pro-
ceedings brought against Bessie R.
Nixon, the mother of seven minor
children and who had been granted a
pension of $S the month for each child
by the Cass county court.
The action was brought by States
Attorey w. A. Fowler to test the Con.
stitutionality of the act. The district
court found for Fowler, and Pierce.
Tenneson & Cupler, attorneys for Mrs.
Nixon, then appealed to the supreme
court. The latter finds that Sec. 3 OF
the constitution applies to mothers
pensions in providing the duties of
the county courts in connection with
guardianship and administration in the
interests of minors. "Chapter IT'S of
the laws of 1915 Nhe pension act) is
not in contravention Of section 172 Of
the constitution and is therefore not
unconstitutional. the, supreme court
holds. The court also rules that where
a woman is fitted for the duties there
is no more appropriate guardian for
any child than the mother and that the
state, in appropriating funds for the
proper care of INDECENT children, is alb.
solutely in the right In making the
mother the legal guardian of the
states wards and in naming her ad.
ministratrix of the states funds ap'
for their support.
