Milwaukee, Wis.

WIS.
To Whom 1t May Concern:
1t is not only a pleasure, but a
duty | owe to myself, to Miss Glatz
and to the community, to heartily
endorse her work and to write a rec
ommendation for her. Miss Emily
Glatz has served the Milwaukee chill
dren for 13 years. She is a lady of
excellent character and fine reputa-
ton and enjoys the high esteem of
the Milwaukee school authorities who
regretted exceedingly the circum-
stances which necessitated her leav-
ing this city.
Miss Glatz possesses a rare intelli-
gence. great power to teach and the
ability to inspire confidence in her
leadership. I have no hesitation in
recommending her unreservedly for
a position as County superintendent,
for she has the essential character
istics which go to make a successful
executive officer. Respectfully and
sincerely, Meta Berger, President
Milwaukee Board of Education.

The intellectual equipment of Senator J. Ham Lewis, who
represents the state of Illinois in the United States senate, is
indicated by a speech which he made in the senate the other
day while the fighting was going on along the Marine. And,
of oratory emanating from Americans who ought to know bet
ter. AS reported officially, Lewis began that speech as fol-
lows:
The river Marine, long the Rubicon barring %despoism
from democracy, is still the stream at whose banks the
fiery chariots and bloody hosts of murderous captains
are ever. swallowed. The news is the Germans have re-
treated across the Marine. There it was that the Ameri-
cans drove him to his retreat. The American soldier,
whose intelligence at the first trial against the German
brute obedience, scattered the German forces, captured
their arms and cannon, and took as prisoners their COM
manders and arms. 1t was the Americans who rescued
five cities from the Germans and gave deliverance anew
to imperiled France.
AS an example of English, the effort was a miserable one.
A sophomore would hardly talk so loosely or get his figures of
speech so badly mixed. Tt was drivel and rot with which he
occupied the time of the senate, and he probably wore a red
vest to match his pink whiskers when he made that speech,
for that is a part of him that he never forgets.
But think of a United States senator being SO thoughtless,
so factless. so idiotic as to make such a speech in one of the
high places of the world. What are the French to thlnk OF
such boasting-and they may take J. Ham as a representative
thinker and speaker of America, for is he not a United States
senator?
What silly boasting about America! How cheap in the
presence of death and suffering and victory in which the
French had probably three or four parts to our one' ana IN
which Italians were heavily engaged-they may nave aimo9'
rs many as we have-and to which the British were rushing
their troops from clear around their line in Pcardy to the
Rheims sector. It was the supreme effort of all the alled
belligerents. and then for an American senator to talk such
drivel. flambuoyant boasting about what we were doing, with
out any recognition of what they were also doing, is humlllat-
ing to every honest American.
It was well that Senator Thomas of Colorado finally rose
and asked the red-vested man who was running off at the
mouth. the pointed question whether he did not think the
French also were doing something on the Marine.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF HIGH PRICES FIXED

Mr.. Hoover has given us an explanation of some of the
price fixing. He says that is has been deemed necessary to
fix many prices above what they were not only before the
war, but before the price fixing began, so as not to discour-
age production, whether of wheat, or of coal, of of steel. Then
when the high prices have done the encouraging to take away
the excess profits in the form of taxes, in many cases amount
ing to sixty per cent.
We see the processes of reasoning involved and we may
|concede some results. But, to say the least, the producers of
coal. for instance, cannot object. They have been able to
take extra millions in that process, and for every million
they take they have to give only 100000 back to the govern
Iment, while they keep 100000 for themselves. Almost any
one of us would be willing to collect a million in excess on
the understanding that we were to give 100000 back and
keep the rest ourselves. IT is a process that is going to make
"a new crop of minionaires, of war milionaires. There is
this to be said, that a man who made his millions out of this
war will be thoroughly despised by the men who will re-
turn from the fronts and from the high seas after having CIV
EN- their services for $50 a month, with the chance of getting
killed thrown in.

WITH VICTORY, MODESTY

The American troops have done a gallant piece of work
in the great combat in which they launched their counter-at-
tack nine days ago. 1t has thrilled the nation. We are all
over-rejoiced.
We have been expecting tive have looked for nothing
else. They have done what we have been thinking and
believing they would do.
Suddenly it appeared to us, as it appeared to them, that
the enemy with all his ruthlessness is not invincible. That
he is not what he thinks he is and what many, through the
prevalent obsession, have thought that he is.
But it is only the beginning. 1t doomed large, it still looms
large, it came so suddenly and it was so glorious.
But with it all, let us not fall into vain Boosting. And
as we do more, as there is more that must be done, let US
grow also in modesty, in moderation of self praise and lauda-
ton, things that are so unbecoming in a people.
Let us not think only of the little that we have done, but
of the much that our co-beligerents on that front have done,
and done for us, done to make possible what we are now do
ing.
And as we throw up our hats for the Americans, let us
also take off our hats to those who have borne tie heat and
the burden of this long struggle and keep hats off in the vic
tory which we are to be permitted to share, as also in the final
and lasting benefits. Let us not forget those who made this
possible while we waited in our false security.
Here is to the American-and here is also to the Bel
gans and the British, and the French, and the Italians, and
to all who have fought in this great war, the Serbans, the
Roumanians, the Czcheko-Slovaks, and to the many almost
too numerous to mention. And to the Russians, even, those
brave millions who laid down their lives on the plains of East
Prussia and Slavonic Russia in the early years of the war,
in order that the French and the British might recruit their
they still deserve the thanks of the allied nations for what
they did before the evil days came upon them.
And may the victory that we believe and know will be
won lift them up also, so that we may say that we have maze
return to them for all that they did for us, they whose dead
are more than even the dead of France or Great Britain.

KEEP THEM OUT OF NEGOTIATIONS

That man Burian, who has been acting as Austrlas
spokesman in peace proposals is a man with whom no sell
respecting American will deal under any circumstances. he
made himself infamous by sighting and sneering remarks
about the Americans who were butchered on such ships as
the Lustania. And ven Hertling is another crooked cynlc IN
Germany. Won Muehlon, the Krupps director who deserted
the gang. saws that he is wholly INSCRIPTIONS, one of the
worst of the gang around the kaiser. But the new foreign
secretary for Germany, Hntzie, is insmany ways worse than
either one if half of what is said of him be true. He has IN
the past been a spy in the emperor's private service. 1t was
his business to go to foreign and friendly countries, lngrau-
ate himself into the confidence of people, especially social
people. and then carry his findings back to the kaiser and
his oang-all of this preparatory to the making of the war.
Such sneaks and reprobates will not be accepted by the rep
resentatives of the decent nations of the earth.

is IT

In New York state one William Church Osborn in Gnnounc-
ing himself a democratic candidate for governor concluded his
statement in the following terse language:
AS an upstate democrat, | accept the challenge. l
offer myself as a candidate for governor in the demo-
cratic primaries. l appeal for support of all demo-
Gratis who believe that the right of self-government is
the first principle of the democratic party. | appeal
to all democrats who believe that the principles and
policies of William Randolph Hearst are fatal to the
honor and integrity of our party.
There seems to be a slight discrepancy somewhere. Did
not three cabinet officers and the secretary to the president
recently congratulate that same dangerous Mr.. Hearst on his
acquisition of the Chicago Herald? What makes him such a
bad man in New York, where he .lives, and such a desirable
one in Chicago? And would it not be well for the president
to apply his "acid test to his cabinet members and his pi-
vate secretary?

The German empress is reported in tears at Strassburg,
while the emperor was glorying in what "his" men were do
ing, killing Frenchmen and trying to kill Americans. II the
dead can only be of the other nations, then it does not matter
so much, In the meantime the emperor and the empress are
keeping their six sons, who used to frequent the parade
grounds in uniforms of various regiments, far enough from
the fronts not to be hurt. They are different from the son OF
a former president who went up in the air over the fighting
lines to make observations, or his two brothers who were
wounded while on the firing line. Americans choose the most
dangerous positions, while Hohenzollern sons go about with
their crying manmas in the hospitals, weeping over those who
have been sacrificed to keep them on their thrones to rule by
so-called divine right.

DR.. Paul Lensch has written a German book in which he
SAYS that they call Germans barbarians. $50 let it be" he re-
plies. "We ought to drop all whimperings," he tells his coun-
trvmen. Drop all human feelings, he means, and go at their
enemies as beasts of the forests and the jungles. And they
are capable of responding to such appeals. They have al
ready given MANY evidences of that state of mind and that
moral attitude-and speaking of morals, how inappropriate it
seems applied to anything officially German. Can any one
discover even the traces of any moral conception left in any
thing that Germany is doing in this war?

According to Bonnar Laws statement in parliament the
other day, the British ships carried over $4,000 of the $4,000
troops that were carried across the Atlantic in three months.
We do not care who carried them or who conveyed them, but
we are glad that they got over and that so safely. That the
British are still good seamen we all have to admit, and it is to
that good seamanship that we owe the fact that we are fight
ing ON the other side of the Atlantic, instead of defending our
own soil from the invader.

One thing, the allies are said to have plenty of mustard
gas The Germans will be surprised to have to take some of
their own medicines. In the eyes of the Germans such things
have always been for others and the loot and the raping for
themselves. Let them have enough of the things that. they
have tried to inflict upon others, to the desirable end that
they will not be so ready to begin wars to devastate their
I~nciYhhors' lands.

One thing that they have made certain for themselves, it
strikes us, and that is fair treatment for the Czecho-Slovaks.
Out Of Austria they have come to do their share of the worlds

If the allies ever get as close to Berlin as the Germans
have been to Paris. and commenced throwing long-distance
bombs into the royal city, one wonders what the average Ger
man would do. Would he rise to the moral grandeur that the
French have shown? Our own guess is that they would all
begin to squeal like stuck pigs.
