sSSIt Is now clearly established that
there is no room in this country for
the miser who helps the Kaiser, the
pro.GermaR who assists the Hun and
the lily,fingered son Of idleness who
won't even keep himself. Formerly
the lazy man was regarded as a nui.
sance; now he is looked upon as al
most criminal.
"''Those who insist that Germany
is merely fighting for liberty should
be treated for inflamatory prejudice
and chronic transformation of the
brain. Oliver Wendell Holmes de-
scribed the Indian as, "a few in.
stincts on legs, tlourish1ng a toma
hawk" A German might be described
as conglomeration of irl2udence and
audacity instructing the Devil in
crime.
'''James Russell Lowell once de
clared that, Genius claims kindred
with the very workings Of nature, so
that sunset shall seem like a quo
tatton from Dante or Milton; and il
Shakespeare be read in the very pres.
ence Of the sea itself, his verse shall
but seem nobIer for the sublime crit.
icism OF the ocean" When Shakes
peare spoke Of the uncertain glory
OF an April day" he demonstrated that
he knew something Of the workings
OF nature, such simple and yet such
a profound observation. The April
just passed was certainly well de.
scribed by the Bard of Avon.
''"The Marion county officials
should procure an air ship or a sub
marine to accommodate those who de-
sire to travel over or through the
acknowledgement pike. An air
ship would be best for dry weather,
while a submaCine should work ad
miIably these rainy days.
"'tMany have sown oats and plant.
ed potatoes, peas and parsnips. Some
have planted in the moon while few
have been so reckless as to plant in
common earth. Such fragrant disre.
gard for the laws controlling the
growth Of vegetation cannot be too
severely censured.
"'"The German Emperor continues
to assert that, 'Tho Lord will give

President Wilson has ordered an investigation by the
Department Of Justice OF the charges of ismanage-
ment aud graft in airplane production and General
squier, who until recently in charge Of army ava-
tion has demanded military court of inquiry. These
two steps ought to clear up every vestge of fog that
obscures the collapse Of this part of the war program
which began with flourish of trumpes and the fairest

Commercial Club
Holds a Meeting
Strong Sentiment in Favor of Main
tenance of Commercial 0rganiza-
ton Manifested

At a meeting of the members of
the commercial club held on Monday
evening, the matter of the activities
of the club for the coming year were
discussed. and a committee of ~ bus
mess men will meet and discuss COM
mercial club affairs and report at a
meeting of the members to be held
Monday evening. March IS, at the
Farm Bureau office.
The sentiment of the meeting was
that some sort of commercial organi-
cation should be kept up in the city,
ad the recommendation of this com
mittee will possibly decide the future
action In this matter.
A committee of three members was
appointed to get in the back dues, ii
possible, and clean up the dues of the
old organization, before taking up the
reorganization or electing any Of
ficers of the club for the coming year
The Secretary's report showed that
the club has assets in the form of un-
pid dues amounting to $4,000, the
total liabilities at this time being
$475
1t was the feeling of the meeting
that all the obligations of the organ
ization should be cleaned up before
any other organization or further
action be taken in the matter.

cipal speakers were M. ]. Sweeley,

Baker Honored by
the French Nation
Refers to Great Friendliness of the
People There and Similarity of In
situations to Ours

PARIS, March 12.-Newton ID. Ba-
ker, the American secretary of war,
Yesterday afternoon declared that his
purpose in visiting France at this
time is to confer with General PERISH
ing, the American commander, to Wis
it the American forces in the field and
to inspect the lines of transportation
and the storage supply systems so
that America might support more eff
fectively our army in France and the
armies of our gallant allies. Any
visit to France at this time, Mr.. BAKER
continued, is a pilgrimage to a very
shrine of heroism and it is bound 10
be an inspiration to see the command
ers and the armies that have so long
held the frontiers of freedom against
attack.
In America as in France, Mr. Baker
pointed out, civilian is secretary of
war That civil power is supreme and
is a characteristic of our free institu-
tons. We are fighting to maintain
civil power, added the secretary.
In America the dominant thought in
all minds is that supplies must be
brought up and industrial resources
must be organized so that the army
can be supported.
The secretary declared that there
was much satisfaction over the fact
that war industries were organized
at the beginning. Quantities Of war
materials are now accommodating while
great army is completing it's train
ing to join the forces already in
J France.
There can be but one result when
the forces of civilization combine"
said the secretary.
president Wilson phrased the spir-
1t of America when we entered the
war and his subsequent declarations
reflect the feelings of the entire coun-
try" Mr.. Baker continued. "Ameri-
cans have committed all their re-
sources to the winning of the war"
Secretary Baker said he was great
ly impressed by the welcome accord
ed him at the French port where he
landed There has been a spirit of
cordially between the French and
Americans since the beginning.
Mr.. Baker said that he had made the
whole voyage without sea sickness.
