GATES SWING BOTH WAYS.

A way at last has been opened for
sending back to their own countries
those persons who persist in talking
against the country of their adoption
and in taking their stand with the old
countries. It has been said that the
gates of Castle Garden never swing
outward, but if such is the case these
gates will shortly be provided with
nov hinges that permit them to swing
in either direction as needs arise.
A federal court has already taken
action along the lines suggested. At
Seattle naturalized citizen of the
United States has been stripped of his
American citizenship because of his
violation Of his oath of allegiance,
and has been ordered interned as an
alien enemy for the duration of the
war. When hostilities are over he

Our farmers are not worrying about

Our farmers are not worrying about
the presidents veto of the bill raising
the minimum price of wheat from
So. 20 to So. 40 per bushel. They
have maximum crop. both in yield
and quality, and there is no maxi
mum price fixed. 1t is very probable
that the demand will force the price
above the minimum fixed by law, so
that the law of supply and demand
will do for them what the president
failed to do. The fixing of mini
mum price was for the purpose of
giving the farmers an assurance that
would induce them to put in big
acreage, and protect them in case the
war should close and prices slump
before they could market it. This
condition has not arisen, and a fixed
minimum price now can make little
difference with the price that will be
paid.

The committee appointed to invest
igate the prices of substitutes for
wheat flour has reported that these
prices are for the most part "just
and reasonable. When the price of
corn il only about 60 per cent Of the
price of wheat, and the price of corn
flour is more than the price Of wheat

something rotten in Denmark. :"
Until such things are explained there
will remain the suspicion that this

made against the French and Ameri-

in crossing the Marne in few plac-

CITY'S GLORY LONG DEPARTED

In n far-off corner Of southeastern
Africa + hidden the ruins Of a once
mighty city, called in present times
the Zimbabwe, or buildings Of stones.
The more fanciful Of the scientists de-
clare that the time of Moses may have
seen the building of these %crumbling
walls, but the weight Of evidence
seems to prove that the city Is only
about ten centuries old. Whatever the
true dates of the city's history, certain
ly its ruins today are In appearance
very old, very moss hung and very pic
turesque.
There Is nothing sad about the Slip
ping away Of these relics Of the past,
so gradually they have sunk into the
soil and broken down with the pres
sure Of time and weather. Their day
of glory and prosperity was oyer some
centuries ago, and they rest dreamily
In the sunshine. Bright flowers deck
the walls rs of trying to hold the re-
naming stones together; and tall trees
spread their branches wide to temper

PAGAN AND INFIDEL.
From the New York Tribune.

A !urcoooGerman offensive against Jerusalem is announced. This
gives Lieut.. Gen. Baron Won Ardenne, a well known German military
critic, the opportunity to commit a CHASTITY pleasantly.
lie says, with the smuggest air of German pietsm 1T is a salts
ractlon to u Germans that the struggle for the holy places is again
proceeding with German arms, a in the time Of the Kaiser Bar
barossa."
OF Jerusalem from the hands of Saladin, the great Saracen warrior.
Wilhelm Il is splhng German blood to restore Jerusalem to a brutal
Moslem ruler. Those Germans who still claim to stand within the
circle OF Christendom must have a queer sense of humor if they can
get any satisfaction out of Baron Won Ardennes ingenious parallel.
The Christian world was thrilled a few months ago by the news
that the flag OF Islam had at last ceased to wave from the walls of
Jerusalem. That news didnt thrill Germany, because Germany has
already reverted, in everything but name, to ancient paganism. The
Ieuton heather and the infidel Turk now raise their hands to tear
down the cross and restore the crescent. Pagan and infdel march
together in brotherhood.
Barbarossa, SO legend tells us, sits in his cave in the Thuringian
mountains, awaiting the day when the German people shall again
need his leadership. Is it not enough to waken him from his long
sleep to know that his successor on the German throne is fighting
alongside the Turk for the re- Moslemization of the Holy Ctyf
