According to the Pierre Dakotan,
a sugar beet factory is soon to be
established in that vicinity. This is
good news, for there is need for more
sugar made in America" Just at
present the war is furnishing us a
system of protection which guaran-
tees the success of all beet sugar en-
terprises that can be established and
operated while the war is in prog
ress. Even after the war there is
strong probability, amounting al
most to certainty, that the sugar
industry will be adequately protect
ed, It is true that the democratic
party in it's tariff act of 1913 pro-
posed to place sugar on the free list
and rescinded that action only be-
cause of the outbreak of the war.
There is reason to believe, however,
that because sugar production is
largely southern industry, and
also because the closing down of
sugar factories in 1914 served as a
demonstration of the effect of free
listing sugar, the democrats have
been convinced of the fallacy of
their policy. With the house OF rep
resentatives now evenly divided be-
tween the two parties, and with
Louisiana democrats ready to sup
port a protective tariff on sugar, it
is probable that whatever other inE
dustries may be sacrificed by demo-
cratic votes, sugar will not be
among the number.

IN AGREEMENT AT LAST.

To the Readers of the Freeman
Tribune: We want to say that the
writer's idea and the EDITORS have
rarely run in parallel lines, but have
crossed at nearly every turn. Yet
the stand that the editor of the
Freeman Tribune is taking in his
editorials on pro-Germanism and
disloyalty to our government in this
great national crisis certainly meets
the approval of the. writer, and we
--.-ant TO commend him in the most
forceful language at our command.
The editor Of the Freeman-Trib-
une is certainly no Stacker and is
doing. his best in a most fearless
manner, which should command the
respect and admiration of all true,
loyal Americans.
In that the Freeman-Tribune de-
serves the support and encourage
ment of all the loyal people in this
community. II. B. HUMMEL.

"A Line From Canning Leader.

A recent communication from E.
G.. Bishop, state canning club leader,
gives few changes in the cold pack
method. An increased length of
time is given for the sterilization Of
some products. These notifications
have been made as result of 'ex-
perience and recent experiments.
The time, in some cases, has been
heightened in order to insure safety
where the condition Of the product
may not be most favorable, or where
some step in the procedure of can
ming may not be fully carried out.
Mr.. Bishop says: Experience,
with careful observation, will ena-
BILE the operator to make such modi-
fications as are necessary to get best
results. The essentials in success
full canning are complete steriliza-
ton of the product and perfect
SEAL
"This season we have found it adj
yisable, in order to be safe, to give
peas and lima beans sterilization
period of $50 minutes, and wax or
string beans 100 minutes 1t has
also seemed best to increase the
time of sterilizing most Of the greens
to 100 minutes. Be sure to do these
things:
/. Give the product long enough
sterilization period at the required
temperature.
2. Be sure that you have per-
feet seal when the product comes
out of the hot water bath, and that
this perfect seal is kept. Should
anything happen to let any air from
the outside into the jar after steriz
lization has been done, the product
should be again sterilized to make
sure of it's keeping.

LOYAL GERMANS.

The Freeman-Tribune takes gen.
uine pleasure in denouncing men
of German birth or extraction who
came to this country to become
American citizens but who now are
showing big yellow streak by re-
pudiating their pledge of allegiance
to Uncle Sam by offering encourage
ment to Germany ii. this war. Yes,
the Tribune likes to roast
them. 1t likes to make them vince,
and feels exceedingly glad wheE il
has said something that calls down
upon it's head the maledictions o.
pro-Germans. Yet there is greater
pleasure that the Freeman-Tribune
extracts from the way other Ger
man-Americans are conducting
themselves during this war. That
pleasure is experienced in bearing
testimony to the conduct Of the
thousands of Germans who are loyal
to the flag of their adopted country
and who are willing and anxious to
stand up and be counted on the side
Of Uncle Sam in this great conflict.
A movement has been started in
New York, Chicago, st. Louis and
other. large cities to organize the
Germans of revolutionary antece-
dents against the Prussian tyranny
from which their fathers and grand
fathers fled in 1S4S. The Chicago
leader in the work is an attorney,
Otto C. Butt. According to Mr..
Butt, who announced the launching
of the movement, great many
American citizens of German de-
scent abhor the Prussian system of
frightfulness.
''The hatred against the whole
German race will be intense and will
strike the innocent as well as the
guilty." said Mr.. Butt, eff we do
not do something to show that a
great majority of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
do not stand for the frightfulness of
the autocracy of the Fatherland.

gain by the great conflagration, has
arrived at the just conclusion that
Germany is the country that should
pay for the damage inflicted upon
Belgium and other invaded countries
that have been made to suffer far in
excess of legitimate war demands.
Germany is the only nation that in
modern times has dealt with unmiti-
gated and unfeeling harshness with
conquered people, and Germany is
the nation that should pay the PEN
atty. Austria Hungary, Turkey and
Bulgaria are but puppets in the
hands of Germany, and none Of
them, not even Turkey, has excelled
the master in brutality and vicious
ness in this war.

POOLING THE GERMANS.

Capital: Speculation over the
appointment of DR.. Michaelis as
chancellor OF, Germany to succeed
Won Bethmann-Hollweg has been
rife in the allied press. Most COM
ments fail to make allowance for
one thing, namely, that whatever is
done in Germany is considered long
and well in the light of public eff
feet. Qualifications for efficiency
in office are secondary.
An observer writing from the
neutral city of Berne in Switzerland
seems to have sized the matter up
about right when he characterized
the Bethmann-Hollweg retirement
and the Michaelis appointment as
a part of the vast pretense with
which Germany is constantly en-
deavoring to deceive the world
To put it more plainly, the former
chancellor had to go because the
kaiser and his war lords are not liv-
ing up to their promises and some
one had to be blamed for it,,
1t is made to appear that Beth
mann Hollweg resigned because he
was unwilling to meet the demands
of the reichstag and because his
personal ideas of the future con-
duct of the war were at variance
with the controlling party. AS a
matter of fact the former chancel-
lor's personal ideas had nothing to
do with the case. He was mere
Webster City freeman. [volume] (Webster City, Hamilton County, Iowa) 1884-1946, 1917-08-21

puppet. His duty was to put into
effect the kaiser's orders and to do
the bidding of the war managers.
When it was decided that new
chancellor might stop public criti-
cism and make the public feel that
better things were to come, Beth
mann-Hollweg obeyed the order to
step down and out as cheerfully as
he oheyed all other orders while in
office. a.
DR.. Michaelis is made chancellor
to fool the; people into the belief
that Germany is making internal
reforms. Already the press of Ger
many is beginning to voice the dis
satisfaction with. his appointments.
The men he is gathering about him
are not of the type that will bring
about democratic reform in Ger
many. Ia,
1t may bethat the Michaelis move
will be swift and absolute failure.
In that case, it is predicted, the
kaiser will come sout and announce
himself as constitutional monarch.
Such an announcement will not
change the present Prussian form
of autocratic government, of course,
but the kaiser may be able to fool
the German people for while,
Many of them believe now that they
are living under a democratic rule,
when as matter of fact there Is
no more autocratic form of gov
eminent on the face of the earth
today than the imperial German
government.

guage press know what is good for
them they will yet right with Uncle
Sam. Nobody invited them to this
country. They came here to better
their condition in life--the same as
the emigrant from any other coun-
try. If they do not wish to be
Americans they should not remain
here. If they believe there is a bet
ter country on the face of the globe
they should go there. They are not
going to Germanize the United
States-not by a long shot. The
German language is not going to be
the language of this country, how
ever much the kaiser, the pan-Ger-
man and the editors of the German
language press in the United States
have been working to that end.
Soon there will be soldiers return
ing from France, aid let German
language paper speak disparagingly
of General Pershing and something
will happen to him. The American
public has been extremely patient
with the German language press. 1t
can make place for itself in this
nation or it can destroy itself. It
may rest assured it cannot destroy
the nation. The German language
press is working toward a show
down in this country, and it will
get it. 1t is possible that their
early training prevents editors of
German language papers from read
ing the American people Alright?
They ought to know the American
people pretty well and just how
much they will stand of criticism of
the government in war time. They
ought to know they'll have to be
for Uncle Sam or against him; that
there is no middle ground.

GERMAN LANGUAGE PRESS.

GERMAN LANGUAGE PRESS.
Waterloo Times-Tribune: Up at
st. Paul the editor of a German lam
guage newspaper has been arrested
for violating the alien enemy proc
lamation Of April 6. His newspaper
has been making remarks uncompli-
mentary to General Pershing; it has
been severely criticising the draft
and constantly making uncompli-,
mentary comment about Great Brit
ain.
Roasting Great Britain is a happy
pastime of the German language
press. The editors hate Great Brit
ain. They hate the English people
with the same hatred held by Ger
mans in Germany. They have been
taught as children to hate the Eng
lish. A more or less famous Ger
man, in speaking about holding peo-
pies lives, remarked that If he were
given the child for six years, be-
tween the ages of 6 and IL, he did
not care who educated him, or tried
to educate him, after that. He fig
ured he had the child's ideas formed
and his prejudices intact. The ed
itors of the German language press
either were educated in Germany
during these years, or they got their
education from reading German
stuff written by men who were I'M
der the thumb during those ages.
Nobody complained what the Ger
man language press said about the
enemies of Germany before the war,
but great many are going to COM
plain about what they say now and
will say in the future, If they do not
change their policy. How long do
they think they would last in Ger
many printing paper in the Eng
lish language? How long would an
editor of an English language paper
last in Germany, provided one would
be allowed printed, provided Won
Hindenburg were attacked? This st.
Paul fellow said it was pretty well
understood that General Pershing
was considerable of a success with
the ladies and it remained to be
seen what kind Of general he
would make.

RIGHT KIND OF A GERMAN.

r.. ROBERT ". SCudUcI III IHo 1luuooh,
s. d., Hudsonite: They are stamp
ing out pro- Germanism in Iowa
uprisings in several parts of the
state on the part of some fellows
who skipped out of Germany to es-
cape military service and the iron
hand of the kaiser, but who have
forgotten all this now and who are
still hollering ''Hoch der kaiser!"
and Deutschland ueber allies" when
they ought to be down on their
knees thanking God that they have
not long ago met death in the
trenches, as SO many million of their
German brethren have. If they had
remained out there and had shown
one-hundredth part Of the disloyalty
and had spouted rank treason as
they have here, they would have met
their fate long ago, and it would not
have been gentle one. The best
thing they can do, if away down in

lutely true and loyal to this great
United States of ours, is to shut their
mouths and hide their feelings, for,
while Uncle Sam has been lenient
and tolerant, he is fast losing his pa
thence, and something is going to
happen some day, and happen right
quick. How anyone can live in this
country as these people have, have
good homes and every advantage,
and not be ready to lay down their
lives for the flag, is beyond me, and
they must be differently fashioned

can show me one kaiser worshiper l
will show you a hundred true blue

J TUESDAY, AUGUST 81, 1917.
a Fine New Home.

The Freeman-Tribune has mad the
pleasure of a personal inspection OF
the fine new home, just completed.
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Dawson, To-
Gated on east Walnut street, imme-
diately west of Wilson avenue. The
house is complete in all its appoint
ments and in workmanship and ma
terial used is as perfect as can be.
No pains or expense were spared to
make the house an ideal home, and
the result is apparent to even the
casual observer. The house is not
large, being 20 by So feet on the
ground, exclusive of front and rear
porches, with eighteen-foot posts.
Charlie Draper is the contractor and
Charles Cessna, H. L. Corbin and
Max Fields did the carpenter work.
George Wyckoff had charge of the
painting and Charlie Briggs that of
the brick and mason work. While
there are a number Of houses In
Webster City much more command
ing in external appearance and
much more commodious, none are
better finished, made Of better ma
terial nor constructed with superior
workmanship. The house is COM
plete from cellar to garnet and Is
equipped with all modern convent
ences of the best grade. It will be
heated by bricked-in furnace, sup
piled with self-adjusting draft.
The laundry is in the basement and
is, equipped with every convenience
imaginable, making the doing of the
washing more of pleasure than q
hardship. The kitchen is a model of
convenience, being supplied with ev-
erything necessary to reduce and ex-
pedite the work of the mistress of
the house. Toilets are upon the
first and second floors, and clothes
chute extends from the upper floor
to the basement. Electricity will
be used for motive power, lights and
cooking, which will minimize the
arduous duties of housekeeping.
Special pains were exercised in the
selection of all lumber and material,
and many loads were returned to
the lumber yards that were found
not to be UP to the required stan
dard of excellence. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dawson expect to move into their
new home today.
