4 Charitable Husband

Harry T. Nolan, who the Associated Press dis patches say is business of Denver may be good business man, but do not think that the parshoners of the late parish of the Rev C. J. Burke will accept his judgment regarding priestly qualifi- cations. Mir. Nolan, it appears, himself at one time felt that the Rev. MT Burke was not the right man in the right place. That was when he understood that the Rev Mir. Burke accessory to the rob bery at a roadhouse New Years Eve of Mrs Nolan of diamonds valued at s3,O00 The unfrocked clergy man having been eXonerated of complicity in the robbery having been established to the satisfaction of MT. Nolan that Mir Burke was not privy to the conduct of bandit who held him and Mrs Nolan up and took the diamonds of the latter Mr. Nolan submits that justice be to the wrongly accused cleric by restoring him to his pulpit
 The compaisant husband comedies that the pres of Mir. Burke at a road house in company with his wife was "regrettable indiscretion" Other people. with less interest in the affair than Mir Nolan look upon the of the preacher with or with out at the roadhouse as more than an indiscreton.

Penalty for BootIeouinu

We glad to learn of Judge Stanford's pro nouncement that convicted bootlegger shall receive in sentence of not less than months in the county jail and fine of s3OO that there shall be moderation of the penalty in favor of first offenders We think the minimum penalty is lighter in most than it ought to be, but such penalty if rigidly and regularly applied will, think, hold bootleggng in check. It now devolves upon our peace officers and prosecuting officers to bring the offenders into court.
 No one be blind to the fact that there is boot logging going The drunken see on the streets of low degree and of fairly high degree furnish sufficient proof that the bootleggers are active. There must be way to bring them to justice.

The Expected German Reply

The German chancellor Count Hertling, it is announced, will reply today to the statements of war aims by President Wilson and Mr. Lloyd George Any statement the chancellor may make will probably not be reply" in the sense that 1t will be an acceptance rejection of the terms laid down by the president and the British premier but it will likely be comment upon those statements and it may not indicate whether either of those statements may become a basis for peace negotiations.
 As we have before stated, neither statement tains many unalterable terms of The restor- ation of Belgium, northern France, Serbia and Ru- mania of course, will be insisted upon will be agreement upon certain principles which will in to the world permanent peace.
 That is the main thing, the only thing, for which fightng-for the future, and not because of things Germany has done in the past. President Wilson made that quite plain in his statement. He dwelt upon that more definitely than the British premier has done Great Britain, France and Italy have causes for war in which not concerned with them as allies Tie question of the possession of certain territory in dispute does not interest us except in so far as continuation of the dispute q renewal of it may threaten the peace of America the world In this and to this extent only are we interested But for European quarrel territory would not sacr- flee our young manhood and billions. All this has been made clear by the president, who thus has a right to present America to the Germans as a disinteresed party in the adjudication of dispute that originally purely European. The president too had given proof before country threatened, of his frendliness to Germany and his desire that it should not be penalized in any ad- justment of the controversy. He then spoke estly against indemnity loss of territory and against peace with victory.
 The president did not then see, and none could the full design of Germany against world peace The intrigues against America had yet been brought to light disclosing a campaign involving the western continent That disclosure made it evident that the power of Germany must be permanently reduced, that the peace of the world might be safe guarded. Our aims became then identical with of the allies though motives remained different.
 Our motives which wholly unsefsh should ap- peal more strongly to Germany. They such doubt the neutrals do entertain them They are the motives of nation acting in self defense; which has disclaimed aggression, has disclamed indemnity for its great sacrifice and renounced in advance other advantage from the that of perma- nent security.
 In these circumstances unless the presidents state ments shall receive respectful consideration we must conclude that Germany wants no peace with us and with Great Britain France and Italy that it has not abandoned its designs of world-conquest.

It would seem natural that the editor should give preference to the children of his brain, the when there is a certain space which must be filled by them every day. if the name of the editor to continue adorn the pay roll There is many day though, when he would gladly render all that space to the complaining writer. Perhaps he felt that way about it the day in question. But there must be who shall decide what goes into the paper any day, and what stays out That is duty for which the editor is paid and it would not be right for him to shunt it off upon the writer, who would receive no remuner- ation.
