RxmE-A JusT PUNISHMENT.

n a who loves this country and what II stands
for, there could be terrible sentence short
OF death ITSELF than to be ordered and never
return. But even to the who does not love this
country and does not appreciate the blessings of our
liberty, sentence Of exile must be a terrible thing
especially he TO be thrown back into Europe where
the ordinary man has such a struggle.
Louis Kramer of New York sentenced the other
day to pay very large fine and to term In the
penitentiary for opposing the conscription laws and
falling TO register. But by far HIS worst punishment
came in the last words pronounced by Federal Judge
Mayer. The court recommended that the man be de-
ported from this country upon the completion of his
prison term
II the punishment stern, It must be remem-
bered the ohense great America in the past has
opeend her gates wide TO all who would enter 1t
made the privilege OF citizenship comparatively easy
In return the least that could be expected was obed
to the laws Of the land loyal service in time
OF national trial and peril.
Kramer was willing to render neither obedience nor
service He went further and sought to have others
behave in reasonable way. He got exactly what he
deserved.
There are other Kramers in this country who should
be dealt with similarly.

twenty billions, as would be the case

scribed with funds transferred in
similar, perhaps the very same, large
units from taxation securities and

deductible from the income tax pay

there would be lower taxable income

BROADGAUGE CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Now the suggestion is made that

carry all supplies needed by the gov
eminent free. Only the other day the
suggestion was made that the news
papers should print advertisements

things free. and they did IT.. The

ting the prices of copper, steel. lead
and other metals needed by the gov
ernment 10 about the equivalent Of
the cost of production. Eminent men
are working for the government
without pay, but they are willing that
tnat fact should be known.
To critic.se in a spirit OF friend
snip IS not disloyalty or treason. This
tendency is no doubt based on the
best Intentions. But is it not a mis-
take? Why not then endeavor to shift

Is the government OF the United

CONGRESS IS DOING
PRETTY WELL"
From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
This Congress has been called upon
at short notice to change the whole
structure of our Government; to
abandon. temporarily, many of our
ancient liberties and 70 substitute for
them bureaucratic control. Most of
these changes are made necessary by
the war. We shall have to give up
some of our individual freedom, tenn
ponrily, in order TO secure liberty In
the future. But Congress can not
reasonably be expected to do all OF
these things in an hour or a week.
Representatives and senators are sent
to Washington TO represent the peo-
pie and to use their best judgment
IN the framing of laws. They might,
at word. turn over all the functions
Of Government to the President-but
that would be an abandonment OF our
well-tried system Of balanced govern
ment and a betrayal of the people Of
the United States.
Congress has passed a conscription
bill. II has made considerable pro-
gress with the taxation bill II is go.
ing ahead with the espionage bill the
food control bill and other important
measures.
OF course this Congress is not per
lection. No thoughtful believer in de-
mocracy expects perfection from any
legislative body But it is a fairly
creditable Congress, which finds itself
confronted with an unprecedented
task. And on the whole it is doing
pretty well. It took England two years
to put her Government on a war ba-
sis. Is II reasonable to expect this
country. further removed from Euro
pean militarism and always impatient
Of too much governmental control. to
do the work in a month?
