The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-24
Prussian Proclamation.

The rumor comes from reli- able sources that each German soldier is given as a token an iron coin. This coin is said to show a German portrait of Deity with these words under meath: "The Good Old Ger man God" The Deity is hold ing a weapon in his right hand and the following significant sentiment is expressed on the token: "Smite your enemy dead. The day of judgment will not ask you for your req sons."
 Now we can comprehend what Goethe had in mind when he said: "The Prussian is na- turally cruel; civilization will intensity that cruelty and make him a savage" Also, the kaiser's boasted "partner- ship with God" will now ap- pear to us in a new light. It was utterly impossible to rec oncile the studied atrocities of the German war lord with the work of a just and merciful God, but one can readily be- lieve that ''The Good Old Ger man God" can heartily endorse the blood-curdling brutalities that are to furnish sport for a German holiday.
 No wonder the soldiers who carry these tokens can freely lend themselves to the reign of terror, and perpetrate murder and mutiIation on innocents in a manner that can only be des- cribed by men whispering among themselves. Some day the truth will come out; the atrocities committed by these men who carry the iron cross will be laid, bare in all their frightfulness. Then the retri- button that will be exacted of those who now scoff the judg- ment day is awful to contem- plate.

The Spotlight on the South

An ugly rumor has been go- ing the rounds recently to the effect that the cotton growers of the South are being encour- aged to/ hold their crops for higher prices. Also, that while the Northern bankers were straining every effort to float the Liberty Bond issue, the Southern bankers were lending money to the cotton grower to enable him to hold back his product for an eXorbitant price.
 How far this movement ac- tually extended, we do not know, but the big eastern pa per openly charge the Federal Reserve banks of the South WICh pelng a party to the scheme and make the claim that there is more money in the South today than ever before. We do know, however, as everybody else knows, that the reported Liberty Bond sales irl the South are nothing to be proud of. The South Is in the saddle all right, and it seems to be riding with all the characteristic abandon of the old days.

Legislation Against Loafers

It is beginning to look as though the loafers will have a hard row to hoe during the period of the war. State after state is enacting measures that will compel the .drones to go to work. West Virginia requires every able-bodied male resi- dent to be habitually and perm anently employed during the period of the war and charges the sheriff with the responsi- bility of seeing that this law is observed. Maryland has a sim liar law and requires every man to show good cause if he is not at work. Kansas iails men who do not quickly find visible means of support. . New Hampshire will not toler- ate within her borders those who influence workers to leave their employment, and Idaho and Minnesota have en- acted drastic legislation direct ed against sabotage.
 This is as 1t should be and all the. other states should fol- low suit. But this legislation against loafers is not altogeth- CT an innovation. As far back as the Colonial days, 1t was the custom for many of the settle ments to prescribe the follow ing medicine for the indolent inhabitants: "Those who will not work shall not eat.'' The cure as. a rule worked exceed ingly well, for early settlers

The Birth of Democracy.

It is just two hundred and ninety-seven years ago that the first formal declaration of democracy was chronicled. In view of the remarkable revolu- tion in the theory and practice of government since that mem orable document was signed, and that the great free peoples of the earth are again in arms to contest the ancient claim of the divine right of kings, it is interesting to note the charact- CT of the original declaration and the conditions which prompted it's adoption.
 Had it not been for the re- ligious intolerance of the Eng fish sovereigns, the probabili- ties are that the advent of dem- ocracy would have been longer delayed. The Puritans after a long period of persecution fin ally refused to longer conform to the requirements of the Els tablished Church. Although small in numbers, they possess ed the moral power which as serts and defends the rights of man. in propounding the doc Urine that every human being was endowed with the natural privilege of worshipping God III his own manner, the belief that they had the right to the enjoyment of political freedom as we'll came as a logical se- quence. So it was the Puritan pulpits became the tribunes of the common people and 1t was not long before their preachers were promulgating the doc urine that = the sovereign was amenable to public opinion when fairly expressed 7
 King James was on the throne and he evidenced an in tolerance strangely similar to that manifested by Kaiser Will helm today. He would have

The owners of the Juneau dairy w. L. Altemueler and l.. H. Smith made statement to the Juneau Elm. pire recently in regard to the accu. sation that they were Germans be. cause they refused to sign the food pledge. They stated that they had signed the food pledge and that they were Americans and for the United States only. They said they, were prac. ticing economy rigidly in order to make both ends meet.
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-24

none of this dangerous doc Urine inside his realm and his answer to the petitions of the Puritans was this warning: CT will make you conform or I. will harry ye out of the land. ;" These determined men finally took the pompous sovereign at his word and emigrated to Hol- land. There they were. unmol- ested but their circumstances were not congenial. For sever al years they considered the ad- visibility of emigrating to Am erica. They pondered and prayed and at last, in 1860, set sail for the new world. After a stormy voyage of sixty-three days, they hove in sight of the New England coast and came to anchor in Cape Cod bay on November 11th. To prevent the possibility of anarchy when they should land and form a settlement, they drew up the famous "Mayflower Agree ment" while still on board tha ship. This significant instru- ment stipulated in part:
 We whose names are here ! underwritten x do, by these presents, solenly and mutually, in the presence of God and of one another, coven- ant and combine ourselves to- gether in civil body polite, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, consti- tute, and frame such laws, or dinances, acts, constitutions, and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the colony; unto which. we promise all due submission and obedience" ;"
 The document was signed by the entire company of forty one adult male members of the expedition. This was the first constitution of civil govern ment ever signed by a who1 people. It's application to their affairs and subsequent revi- sion from time to time to meet the neds of the colony, and the manner in which it was pat termed after by the other col onies, is a matter of common knowledge to the average stu dent of American history. Great as was the deed at the time, little did those sturdy Pilgrim Fathers dream that it was the forerunner of tremend- ous events-events that were to turn the world upside down, tear sovereigns from their thrones, and reshape the des- tinies of all the civilized peo- ples of the earth.
