TREATMENT OF UNDESIRABLEs

For an attempt to blow up several
ships by placing time bombs in them
cur courts have sentenced a number
OF German Sympathizers to eighteen
months in prison. says Iron Ore.
Is it any wonder the people Of
the United States complain at the
very insignificant penalty charged
against these conspirators against
our nation and the lives OF good
citizens. No other country in the
world have let these enemies of
America escape so easily. Their prop
er punishment would have been TO
have tied one of their bombs on each
OF them and let the explosion do the
work. If the bombs were timed for
a day or two then let the clock run
its course and give these murderers
an opportunity to think about their
crimes. II would have very good
effect on other fellows OF their kind
who are here to do what damage they
can and who are encouraged to pro-
ceed by the very light sentence i'm
posed on these enemies of our people.
II ia a travesty on justice. no lesson
10 stop the practices that have for
the object the killing OF American
citizens and the destruction OF our
property Shooting would have been
TOO GOOD for them but bombing
would have come somewhere near
proper way OF caring for them. 1t
would be hoisting them with thei-
own petrad. the very finest Kind oil
way TO illustrate their business and
a splendid example for other enemies
who are seeking a chance to kill and
MAIN American citizens.
