much to the fact that conditions are

The Snowflake herald., 1918-06-14

The Mexico editors now tour
ing the land Of this country will
get lots of spie information that
will be of inestimatable value to
German propogandists in Mexico,
as the Germans couldn't come
themselves without danger of
being interned-and put to work
at some calling on fair wages
till after the war. Yet, while in
our land the editors are treated
to the fat of the calf, have access
to the White House and given
other liberties with remarkable
courtesy. Carranza will GO
down in history as one of the
most cunning of the worlds
diplomats.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-06-14

The wonderful enduring, al
most everlasting patience of Pres
ident Wilson was again demon
strated when the party of Mexico
editors called on him at the
White House, in that Mr.. Wilson
assured the editors that he was
particularly glad to welcome
them and to express his feelings
of friendship for the sister re-
public; that the relations between
the two countries are continually
improving and that if the Ger
man propopanda now so rampant
in that country could be curbed
that absolute peace would soon
be restored to all the people of
Mexico. We say that shows a
tinge of patience akin to wonder.
With most of us we would have
thrown the bunch out of the win
dow and then the boot-jack after
them.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-06-14

The congressional bill now up
to amend oil claim lands has
started a stampede of protests.
1t appears that the Senate pro-
posed to give the prospector
some consideration for his time
and money. while the House
would give all consideration to
the government. The prospec-
tor has been the man who has
made the world rich with
minerals and oil. Our govern
menthasnever gone into the pros
pectlng business. The man who
ventures to spend thousands of
dollars drilling holes in the earth
is due consideration and if he
don't get it oil prospecting busi-
ness will go out of business.
The men who are interested in
the Holbrook oil claims have filed
their protests against a possible
favorable report being made on
proposed House amendment to
the bill.
The Snowflake herald., 1918-06-14
The Herald Editor and Col.
Harvey Agree

Some times country editor
makes remarks right off the bat
and free-handed, like other folks,
only to be taken to task by some
who think a country editor
should be seen-not heard.
The other day the editor of
the Herald made the statement
that after the allies whip the
Germans out of France then
they have got to go into Russia
and run the Germans out of that
land, or else the world will never
be made safe for democracy.
No sooner had we spoken than a
gentleman sharply replied that
we were wrong; that Germany
would be so badly beaten in
France that she will pull out of
Russia and go back to her own
dung-hill without any more war,
and that this war is the last one
on earth. We can't see tn e
point: We venture this: If Ger
many is driven out of France and
allowed to remain in Russia,
within so years Russia will be
Germanized and that she will
then Overpower the world and
that this war we are now exper-
iencing in comparison with what
will happen after Russia is Ger
manized is only a little break
fast tilt. We defy the world for
contradictory argument. Now
comes Col. George Harvey, edit
or of the North American Re-
view, who says the same thing
that Germany whipped out of
France and allowed to hold her
Russian possessions will be the
victor and become stronger than
ever in a very short time. Col.
Harvey is absolutely correct.
