HOOVER ASKS AMERICA
TO SAVE MORE MEAT

Don't make 1t necessary for US to
reestablish meatless days." is the
plea which comes from Herbert
Hoover to Coloradoans to exert more
vigorous efforts to save meat.
II American and allied soldiers in
the trenches are to be adequately fed,
75.O00.0OO pounds Of meat and meat
products must be shipped overseas an
nually. In spite Of this seemingly
large amount, the allies have found It
necessary to cut the meat ration to
one and one.half pounds per week per
person. American consumption is
three and one-quarter pounds per
week.
Is it fair?

THOSE NEGRO RAPISTS.

Someone who signs himself or her
self "A Reader" writes the Times
Republican complaining OF an editorial
dealing with the outrage perpetrated
upon young woman by negro soldiers
at Camp Dodge, a crime that will be
quickly recalled because of it's heinous
character. This Reader" encloses a
clipping relating to a similar crime at
tributed to white soldiers in Texas and
takes occasion to raise the race ques-
ton in discussing rape. He, or she,
states that later developments in the
Camp Dodge case have nitigated the
offense to a great extent He, or she
demands that the Times Republican
portray the white side Of the question
and goes on to praise the loyalty" of
the negro soldiers.
It is just such asinine stuff as that
offered In "a Readers" protest that
brings on lynchings Of negroes accused
Of shameful crimes against women.
This Reader" seems to imagine that
the fact that white rapists exist ex-
cuses and "mitigates' the crime of the
Camp Dodge criminal negroes whose
hanging the Times Republican would
be happy to publish in an early news
dispatch. The communication turnout
expresses no horror or condemnation
Of the crime. The thing that worries
the writer Of 1t seems to be that the
Times Republican condemned the ne
groes who committed it and that spirit
has done the negro race and respect
table negroes more harm than any one
other thing. Defense of a negro rapist
is the certain incentive to unreasoning
race prejudice.
The Times Republican does not find
it necessary to run the gamut Of races
when it refers to shameful crime or
to palliate the outrage committed by
the black brutes at Camp Dodge by
dragging in the assertion that white
| men have been guilty Of such assaults
1t Is hopeful that the guilty negroes
Will be promptly and properly hanged
by the neck until they are dead. And
It has no time to spare and no patience
with any person, anonymous or named
who makes complaint over it's
attitude Or vino seeks mitigation" of
their damnable crime Such persons
must divide the responsibility for
lynchings with the mobs.

Coon Rapids contains three Danish
citizens who came from Denmark but

who can talk good English, remarks
the Enterprise. They say there Is no
need for Danes or other foreigners to

English is easy to learn and ought to

And to show how the talking Of for

gree foreigners, one OF our Danish citi-
zens says when he landed in Ameri-
ca he went into a Danish settlement
where he heard the Danish language
much moro than the English and he
soon saw that If he was ever to be-
come able to talk the English Ian
suage he would have to get out of
the Danish community and into an
American settlement, and he sought
work with an English farmer and
thus soon had the English mastered,
at least so that he could talk it so that
he could easily make himself under

en- years in this country, one can bare
ly detect any Danish accent in this

language easily. but they are not pro-
hibited by the governors order from
talking their mother tongue at home.
There is no good reason why Amer

The tremendous influx of new clerks

liam S Kenyon Of Iowa to suggest
the need of an investigation OF the
necessity Of such an increase in num-
here The senator has received in
formation from an official connected
with one of the departments, that he
has knowledge Of one situation where
1000 clerks are employed to do the
work that 900 have been performing
and that 600 could do now. Senator
Kenyon is enlisting the interest Of his
colleagues in the matter, and 1t is
quite possible that the senate will d.
rect one of its committees to make
inquiry along the lines suggested.
