Let the Statute Rest

There is u. s. statute under which,
in case of war, all unnaturalized Ger
mans over IA years Of age can be con-
fined in or removed from our country.
And we have fools in this country al
ready suggesting the execution of such
measures.
A conservative estimate places the
number of such Germans at SOC. 900.
Confine them, and we have to feed and
otherwise support half million of ad-
ditional dependents, when we are going
to have quite job looking after de-
pendents produced by putting Amer
leans into our army and navy. Pres
ident Wilson's idea that the German
who attends strictly to his own business
needn't be interfered with is correct.
The misguided American who gets up
racket with Germans in America SIM
ply adds work, worry and expense to
his own governments burdens, and
there's streak Of yellow in his patriot
ism. m.-Denver Express.

silos Will Save Crops

1t is expected that there will be an
enormous increase in the production Of
forage crops in eastern Colorado as the
result of the appeals which have been
made to the farmers ahat they cultivate
every acre of land possible in order to
help preventS food shortage, with which
this country is threatened next fall.
The farmers of this section of the
state must be informed on methods Of
caring for this increased production.
With this in view, Director H. T. French
Of the extension service of the Colorado
agricultural college is planning an ex-
tensive silo campaign thruout eastern
Colorado in June.
The campaign will cover period of
three weeks and men who thoroughly
understand the siio and its construction
will visit every county in this portion of
the state, explaining the methods of
construction, capacities needed for CIV
en- conditions and other advantages and
features of the silo. The farmers will
be especially urged to construct pit silos
because they are cheaper and are en-
tirely satisfactory in dry land regions.
There is no method of dry curing a
crop which is so efficient as the silo At
least 80 per cent of the feed value of q
crop will be saved if the crop is put into
a silo. On the other hand, in the dry,
windy conditions which frequently pre-
vail in eastern Colorado, If the crop is
simply shocked and stacked, as much as
SO per cent may be lost thru blowing
away and drying out so thdt stock will
not eat it up clean. Colo. Ag. College.

The Privileges of Possession

The school books tell Of common law
which places the public veal above any
personal right of the individual. This
law has been little heard of and seldom
invoked in this rapidly developing coun-
try; but there are indications that more
consideration will be given it in the fu-
ture.
The individual is usually granted the
privilege of doing as he pleases with
what he possesses; but the sentiment is
growing that possession should involve
use and that public good demands the
most effective use possible of all means
of production. Appealing to settlers
under reclamation projects, Secretary
Lane offers message that should have
special significance to every owner of
land in America:
These lands are not public lands.
They belong to private owners, and If
they do not utilize their property, the
time may not be far off when our ma
tional needs will require confiscation
and government cultivation. No one is
entitled to that which he does not use. -
The sentiment applies as we'll to own
ership in all lines of industry, and is
capable of extension even to the private
use or misuse of the means of existence
and enjoyment. Who will say even that
the private box at the theater should
remain dark except at such times as the
owner or his guests may care to utilize
it?
