The question has been asked what
should be the ex-Kaiser's punishment.
II | was to be the director in adminis-
tering his punishment, 1t would con-
sumo "a hours a day as long as his mis-
cradle life existed. First Of all, would
have the word Kamrad tatooed across
his forhead with an American banner
OF the Stars and Stripes on his back and
breast. and march him naked to the
waist every foot Of the distance through
desolate Belgium and grief-strlcken
France. He will be nearly waist deep
in the blood Of millions Of innocent
men, women and children to say moth
ing of the brave but feeble resistance
by soldiers who fell. He drove his in
human horde Of beasts in an effort to
reach Paris, and after he had seen what
he had caused there, / would see that
he was chained in a public place so
secure that it would be impossible to
move a muscle, and in this position he
would face his own sure death, arms
and legs stretched TO their full capacity,
facing the heavens which he cursed,
with a tank containing 1900 gallons OF
water suspended about 10 feet in the air
in such a way that IL would empty us
contents at two drops a minute. That
would strike his forehead between ms
ewes. until the water dripping shou
heat a hole into his murderOus brain.
In this way, Old Fathen Time would
give him a chance to repent II such
thing is possible. thus keeping the stain
OF his poisonous blood from our hands
and elevating still higher the cause Tor
which we fought and won victory.

You ask through the columns Of your
valuable paper what should be done
with the Kaiser. Surely he should be
punished. II we should step out IN
front of our homes and see a man IN
full possession of all his faculties de-
lIberately run a bayonet through an
innocent little child, or drag a young
girl off TO a fate worse than death,
what would you or be apt TO do with
such a brute2 Surely we would XIII
him, or a Just law would. So what
would we do with a monster who has
been the instigator Of thousands OF
such crimes? Kill him? Mol That
would be too good for such as he. 50 II
I had my way I would put him IN
prison, not fixed up with a shower
bath and such other improvements. Dut
put him IN an ordinary murderer's
cell and place the most tempting and
delicious eats Just out Of his reach and
let them stay there until he collapsed
from hunger. Then give him just
enough TO bring him back to life, then
starve him again, and again, so long
as he should live. Then he would not
be punished enough for what he has
caused TO be done. Maybe you think
This Is wicked, but does not the Bible
speak of righteous wrath ?" Such is
nine, for his hOrdes have murdered my |
lephew, L. r. Gallagher. who was one
II your boys.

My idea Of a suitable punishment for
he Kaiser is:
Make him carry water in a quart
ucket from the Atlantic TO the PaciflS
ntil the Lusitanla Is on dry land. After
e has done that will think Of some
hing hard. Yours truly,

Dear Sir: Humlliate him by dressing
i'm in a prisoners garb, put him In a
age and have him travel all over the
world with a circus, so that the multi
