Good for Judge Meyer Of New
York! 1t was in his court that the
first man in the United States was
tried and convicted for opposing con-
scription. The culprit's name was
Louis Kramer and he was given one
year in prison. He was also con-
victed of the charge of conspiracy to
block CONSUMPTION, and on that count
was fined $4,000 and given two
years in the penitentiary. The Judge
recommended that Kramer be de-
ported after his Jail sentence had ex-
pired, and this ought to be done. No
man who refuses to obey the laws OF
the country concerning military du-
ties during time of war should be
permitted to live in the country dur
ing time of peace. If he doesn't think
the United States worth fighting for,
the quicker the United States gets
rid of him the better for our form OF
government. This is mighty big
country, but it is not big enough for
patriots and traitors to live together
in peace.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

Boone News-Republican: What
ever else may be said or thought Of
Theodore Roosevelt, it must be ad-
mitted that he reads the future bet
ter than any other public man. In
the beginning of the war, when we
were talking about being "too proud
to fight" Roosevelt was demanding
that we prepare" which we are
now doing. When 1t was perceived
that we would have to get into the
war, prominent leaders guessed that
we might send money, ammunition
and provisions and by an embargo
accomplish all that was necessary.
Theodore Roosevelt said, "Send troops
to France" We are now sending
them.
Now that we are in the war in
the way that he said we should get
in, Mr.. Roosevelt is looking ahead to
the time of peace. His ideas Of the
future on the subject are good also.

When American aeroplanes begin
operations in Germany it is to be
hoped care will be taken to avoid hit
ting school houses, hospitals and Red
Cross bases. The fortified cities, ma
val bases, munition factories, armies
in the field and officers headquar-
tiers should be the objects Of attacks.
There is nothing gained by killing
women and children, wounded and
dying soldiers in hospitals and upon
hospital ships, or Red Cross nurses
who are doing work of mercy. One
Of the biggest and blacklist blots
upon Germany in this war is its mer-
CHESS aeroplane attacks upon the in
nocent bystander, which are second
in brutality only to the attacks OF It's
submarines without warning upon
passenger and freight vessels OF both
neutrals and enemies. Americans
must make different record than
Prussianism is making and has made
in this respect.

AN INDIAN ROCKEFELLER,


New York World: Government
bulletins are not usually light litera-
ture, but where shall we find more
interesting romance of fortune than
is contained In the public statement
issued by the interior department
describing the rise to wealth of the
Creek indian Jackson Barnett and the
plan to invest his riches in liberty
bonds?
Barnett, who is now GO years old,
Is the Indian Rockefeller. The son
of Creek chief, he was living the
life of nomad Of the plains, hunt
ing and fishing, when Indian terri
tory became Oklahoma and the five
civilized tribes We're allotted land
for farming. His own allotment was
literally forced upon him and in
spite of his desire to be let alone.
In 1905 oil was discovered in the
vicinity of Barnett's land, and then
began the white mans pernicious in
reference with his independence
which has since made him an unwill-
ing near millionaire. Under the oil
leases his share of the product OF
the wells on his property now aggre-
gates $755,OOO and is accommodating
at the rate Of $4,000 month. Last
year he paid an income tax of $52.-
900. Meanwhile Barnett has spent
on himself not more than 500 a
month, has steadily resisted civiliz-
ing influence, and having been de-
clared incompetent, his guardian
now seeks authority to invest his for
tune in war bonds.
Can a dime novel beat that? The
American Indian has had varied
and checkered career under the do
minion of the paleface, but does 1t
include anything more remarkable
than the present status of Indians as
income tax payers and subscribers to
their country's war bonds?

Gen. Won Bussing was very much
put out by Holland when the Ger
man army was ravishing Belgium,
as disclosed by recent memoranda
of the generals being made public.
The German army in its rush over
Belgium had to swerve to one side
to keep from trampling under foot
the little Dutch nation, and Bussing
was hot at Holland for getting In
the way. 1t is really impudent for
any nation to get in the way of Prus-
sianism. Fact of the matter is, all
ought to get off the earth and let
Germany have the whole blamed
thing and feel mighty thankful that
she has been tolerant enough to let
us live this long.
The culprit responsible for the
raise in prices has at last been dis
covered. He is none other than old
Lead Pencil. The way he works 1t
has been pointed out plainly in the
matter OF canned goods. Last fall
line of canned goods sold at $3.50
per case. That case of goods was
paid for at last years prices. No
fruit, sugar, labor, ETC., has been
added, but old Lead Pencil has Slip
ped in and silently marked up the
price to 81 per case. He has also
been at work in every other line, and
it looks as though he would keep
right on at the nefarious business
until the strong arm of Uncle Sam
uel reaches out and squeezes the
wind out of him.
