The Geman-American owes it to

BAR THE GERMAN LANGUAGE.

The Des Moines iowa Capital very
sensibly suggests that the United
States prohibit the printing of news
papers, books and pamphlets in the
German language.
The suggestion is worthy of adop-
ton. And in this connection we would
Judge the barring Of the German Ian
guarge from our schools.
There is absolutely no reason why
the children Of loyal American parents
should be saturated, during the most
impressionable period Of their lives,
with the literature Of a nation whose
ideas and ideals are so at variance
with those Of this country as are those
Of Germany.
There can be no doubt that the dis
semination Of the German language
in this country tends to create a GER
tain sympathy for the people who
speak that language. Our sympathies
follow u associations to a great ex-
tent. 1t is impossible to acquire a
working knowledge Of any language
without developing a sympathy for its
people. Just at this time sympathy for
Germany is a misft in the breast Of
any American. True there are many
German-Americans among US, but the
time has ONE when they must be eli

German statesmen denounce Presi-
dent Wilson as an %autocrat, and at
tempt to favorably compare their gov
eminent with this on the ground that
they have "the kings pledge that the
general, direct, equal and secret bal
lot, the most liberal electoral fran
chise in the world, will now become an
institution in Prussia" All very fine
and high sounding but we might re-
mind our Teuton critics that this same
general, direct, equal and secret bal
lot" has always prevailed in this coun-
try, and that it is solidly and unani-
mously behind our president. These
German statesmen might enlighten the
world by stating to just what extent
the masses of that unhappy country
have participated in governmental af-
fairs in the past and do participate at
present. AS for the future participa-
ton Of those masses, it may be in a
manner not at all to the liking Of the
Prussian statesmen.

TEACH PRACTICAL
PATRIOTISM.

a $50
In seeking for an explanation for
the apathy and lack Of patriotism man
ifested in many parts Of the country,
one is confronted in almost every in
stance with the one underlying inhu-
ence-ignoranee. Ignorance Of Amer
lean ideals, traditions and principles.
Ignorance Of the plain duty Of every
citizen Of a benefcent government to
preserve and defend the institutions Of
that government.
In the schools Of this country from
this time on, q department Of practical
patriotism should have foremost place.
Love Of country is not all hereditary.
A practical knowledge Of all that onr
country and our government stands for
in the lives Of its citizens is essential
to the development Of the highest type
Of patriotic citizenship.
It is not enough that a people should
nave a sentimental love for the soil
that bred them. Thousands Of aliens
within our borders, now loyal citizens
Of u country, have this love. 1t is
noticeable, however, that this does not
detract from their full allegiance to
the government that has received and
nurtured them.
There must be more than this to
make up the true American type.
There must be first knowledge full
realization OF the superiority orsO6
institutions; full appreciation Of the
great benefits that we as individual
have received and are constantly re-
ceiying from them. Add to this a care
fully cultivated sense of gratitude, and
the country will be safe in the hands
Of its citizens.
In past years much has been said Of
the privileges Of our land. The time
has come when we must emphasize the
Of the people to the government
that makes possible these great priv

In ordinary times, times Of peae'

yisedly, because the American people

ROW STARTED WHEN
GERMAN DfN0UNCFS
POLICY OF WILSON

A friendly argument anent the
recent severance Of relations with
Germany by the United States gov
ernment, eliminated this morning
in a lively fistic combat In which
the uphOlder of Germany's ideals
received a black eye and swollen
nose, while President Wilson's ad-
hcrent drew out of the conflict with
only a bruised fist.
The argument was started in n
local soft drink emporium over the
policy OF President Wilson. That
the Kaiser was right in his sub
marine policy, and could click" this
country in a month after war was
declared. was the statement of the
presidents opponent. This led to
further argument with the result
that soon both had "mixed" and
an exchange of blows began.
An attempt was made on the part
OF bystanders to put a stop to the
conflict, but not until the one had
been given the black eye and
bruised nose, could the fight be
stopped. The proprietor of the es.
tablishment finally separated the ex-
ponents of International law. and
expelled both from the place.
