The administration never made better move

For what the country, and any business con-

But their principal occupation is safeguarding, ap-
peasing and discussing. When you want to get a
thing done, however, you go and get a man ana tell
him to do it. .-..
What man? How is democracy to select its
public servants? There several ways, that
have ben tried. You elect him by popular vote,
in which case you get a handshaker and office
seeker; expert men are rarely elected to anything;
they are not popular, rule; they are too busy.
Schwab couldn't be elected to anything. For
the simple that he belongs to that class of
men whose eyes are on their job and not on their
popularity. .

Just as Goethe FOreSGO.

1t was Goethe who said THE Prussian is by
nature cruel civilization will make him ferocious
BY reference to the history of the last fifty
years particularly the last four, Augustus Thomas
of the Vigilanes shows how faithfully the predic-
tion of the great German poet has been fulfilled.
The record of the Hohenzolerns and their follow
ers is virtually unbroken series of cruel and
rapacious adventures. They have preyed like
wolves weaker States. and like wolves have ex-
hibited the peculiar ferocity of animasrthat hunt
in packs. These modern Huns have isolated them
selves from the rest of society. They have discard
ed rather have attained, the principles of
honor and humanity that control the acts of other
nations. They recognize no law other than that of
their greed and tyranny. And they imagine that
because of this defiance of the moral order they
are supeTmen.
Mr.. Thomas incisivey sums up their creed. They
believe he says:
THAT success justifes any means the State
may employ; that the foulest methods
sterilized and made sweet by victory.
That conquest is good title.
That if you seize and take away the
chinery from the factories of an invaded ma
ton you can then arrest and deport the work
men for the crime of idleness.
THAT if you first take the peoples food I'M
til they cry for bread, you may then lessen the
demand by carrying their young and abe-bod-
led women into ominous and unreporting ST.
lence
THAT the benign laws of 'spurlos versenkt'
make Prussia the residuary legatee.
THAT it is amusing to submerge U-boat
when captured merchant sailors locked
outside upon the deck.
That chloride gas is a proper weapon if
the wind is blowing towards France but that
it is contrary to international law if it is blow
ing towards Germany.
THAT they may cruelty a Canadian if they
take him captive but that if he captures them
the cry of 'Kamerad puts him his'honor.
THAT to break bread with a is the
safest prelude to his assassination, and that
an ambassadors honorable exemption from
police visitation makes him an ideal fence
AS Goethe found the Prussian, so did Schiller
to his sorrow and his glory; did Wagner; and so
has many another cree spirit born to the bleak ty-
ranny beyond the Rhine The tragical fact is that
at last all Germany has been Prussanized. What
ever suppressed or struggling instinct of humane
ness resides in the rest of the Empire has been
submerged in the sweeping brutality of 1.-The Pots
dam Gang" The cruel and ferocious Prussan has
made Germany the worlds outlaw, the enemy of
mankind; and not until Prussianism is botted
out will there be any hope of true moral order of
things within Germany or of just and lasting
peace on earth.

But even during this period he is by no means ont

messages are received by the president in code

Employees of the executive Offices who hava

the presidents hand had been slightly burned

are that Mr.. Wilson grasped hot steam pipe and
scared his hand Almost to the bone He called no

THE FIELD WITH AMERICAN TROOPS,
| April 2.-There is a left handed street in this
little village On side of it half
dozen ruined houses and half dozen others that
have been nicked and spattered by the German

crumbling mortar, where houses once stood. On the
side nearest the Boche gunners is a screen of
camouflage, perhaps ten fifteen feet high 1t has
