Everybody kicks the kicker, and
yet he is a useful citizen. Abused as
he is, the kicker is the most useful
agent in regulating the public SER
vice. The kicker only voices what
the more modest think, and in this
way he acts as vehicle of public sem
timent. II is strange paradox, too,
that the very fellow who kicks the
kicker heartily endorses his kicking,
because it brings him relief from a
condition that he is too cowardly to
fight for himself. We join in the
general chorus of kicking the kicker,
and yet we are glad he kicks.

far have said little about candidates
for congress and judge of the Court
of Appeals Judge John p. Haswell
has been freely spoken of for the
nomination for congress, and Judge
VI. l.. Heavrin, of Hartford, has been

This is a matter that should be at
once taken up by the party leaders,

We want again to urge the farmers
of the county to take useful advant-
age of the free service of the county
farm agent. This service is paid for
by the county and state, and the hum
blest farmer in the county is en-
titled to the use of it. The county
agent. Mr.. Browder, is a trained and
skilled agriculturist, and is capable
of giving valuable and useful advice
to our farmers. Personally Mr..
Browder is an agreeable and obliging
citizen, and takes pleasure in answer
ing inquiries, or in any other way of
being of service to the farmers. Many
of the most progressive farmers are
freely using the services of the county
agent, but the smaller farmers are
not awaiting themselves to this SER
vice as they should The humblest
farmer in the county is as much en-
titled to the service of the county
agent, and will receive the same
painstaking service at his hands, as
the most extensive farmer. There
are many problems about which COM
petent advice would be valuable to
the farmer in the planting, cultivat-
ing and harvesting of his crops, and
it is both the pleasure and the duty
of the county agent to give such adj
vice when called upon. His services
are valuable; they are free, and
should be much more generally uti-
lized. ..-..'

THE way those boys went into that

Turner fought at the Somme, Pas

wounded in the thigh on July 10, 1915
and he speaks loudly in praise of the
skilled treatment of nurses. At

There is a word in the German

forbidden" His imperial majesty.
the Kaiser, Is fond of using 1t on
his subjects. The Kaiser remember,
deals with Subjects" not with citi-
zens, as we know the term in Amer
| lea.
Now that we are at war with the
Kaiser and with Germany, it is high
! time that we take our own word
| forbidden and apply 1t. SO far as
! we can, to the German language.
! The inconsistency of our teaching
| German in the public schools of this
| country Is grotesque. We are fight
| ing the Germans to the death. The
Allies, of whom we are a part, have
! them hemmed in with blockade. We
are doing everything in our power
| to cut them off from supplies. Over
| on the bloody fields of France the
| Germans are killing our boys with
| shells, knives and gas. We are
| fighting them to save the democracy
| of the word, and they are fighting
! for autocracy. Yet we are de1iber-
/ ately teaching our children the Ger
man language!
AS one excuse for this we are told
| that certain languages are required
| for admission to some of the col
leges, and that boys and girls who
are now taking German will lose
points, or be unable to enter the col
| leges if they drop this language. II
! this Is true, it ought to make Amer
! lean parents rise up in their might
| Of
outlandish ruling. Any college that
! refuses to admit q student because he
has dropped German in the prepara-
| tory courses, ought to lose its caste
| and be an outlaw among educational
| institutions. But, as matter Of
| fact, such situation is inConceivable.
| The universities and colleges will
| make no such ruling. They couldn't
| do so and retain their patriotic stand
! ing. We have ample evidence from
| many colleges that they are indeed
controlled by fervent patriots.
We are told by pro-Germans that
| we need to study the language. so
that we may read the scientific books
This is camouf1age. Box up the Ger
man books in the libraries! Catering
| to the enemy will never breed pa
triOts. We are cutting loose from
| Germany, at least, for the PERIOD OF
! the war. What will happen when
peace is finally re-esta blished need
not concern this question now. To
drag in any such argument in time
Of war is disloyalty of the rankest
kind. When the war is over, and
German miltarisnn suppressed, we
can talk with reason about studying
the German language In the mean
time it is an abomiration, and we
are not going to have it. To say
that we need it now IS absurd and
traitorous
In times OF. peace we have admitted
the German. people to our country
and with them they brought thel1
language. Many of the older gener-
alton do not know English. or else
they know it imperfectly.. We can
not attempt to force English in q
day upon such persons among them
selves, but we can prevent the IS
suance of. any German literature. VIC
