To gain access to the courts Of Eu-
rope and the bejewe1ed garter set all
that seems to be now necessary is to
produce a family tree which ostensi-
bly, proves that you are defendant
of old Snake-in the Grass or some
other parchment-faced aborigine. It's
worth while to know in this connection
that for a stipulated sum there are
professional genea1ogists who will
trace your ancestry back to any
savage you may mention, even onto
the hooknosed grandfather of Poca-
hontas, and furnish parchments to
prove it. So why not be in the aris-
tocratic class and hobnob with the
nobility?

It must have been particularly en-
barrassing to Judge Finehout to listen
to the reading in court Of his love let
tiers to Mrs. Eastburn. Even though
he addressed her as Honey" IND
ssDear Owa," the judge contends that
the missives were merely those OF
friendship. Even 50, the judge should
have been more careful in the selec-
ton Of his terms Of address. An old
saying runs to the effect that there
is no fool like an old fool, Z but we do
not seek to imply that the Judge comes
within this category.

While it is, Of course, very kind Of
Holland to offer to intern the kaiser
and his scrofulitic son for the remain
der Of their lives, this proposition will
not satisfy the allies, who intend, by
hook or by crook, to attach both of the
murderers-to get hold Of them by the
scruffs of their necks and encircle
these necks with the hangman's moose
The nations whose men, women and
children have been murdered are the
ones to mete out justice not a neu-
trail country in which they are ref
ugees. Holland should not hesitate in
the criminals over to the
allies.

1t will be recalled that after the Lib
erty motor was invented it was dis
covered that it took castor oil to lu-
.brlcate it; that a ship was thereupon
sent to India to collect seed to plant
ground to raise beans to make oil to
lubricate the machine. We now have
enough castor oil to float a battleship,
and we suggest that in the absence Of
any better use for the stuff it be adj
ministered to the gentlemen who en-

quantity be reserved to lubricate the

Freddie Hohenzollern, who is in the
doleful dumps for fear he may never
more meet his papa, has no cause for
worry. If he does not meet his black
guardly father on the gallows plat
form, which is highly probably, he
will eventually meet him at the sui
phur-fume baths Of hades. The enor-
nifty of their crimes is equal and sa-
tan will therefore consign them to the
same bubbling, sizzling birthstone vat.

THE PRINCETON UNION: THURSDAY, DECEMBER 81, 1918

The story printed in the daily press
that William the Damned attempted
suicide is doubtless nothing but bunk
circulated BY his press agents to cre-
ate sympathy for the barbarian. He
loves life too well to commit suicide,
and it is a good thing that he does or
the allies would be cheated out Of the
little pleasantly Of putting him
through the third degree preliminary
to stretching his internal neck on the

The United States senate is up in

from Paris that all official news
from the peace conference will
pass through the hands Of George

news will be censored by this elabora-

Wasteful and Inefficient.

Just what to do with the railroads
is really the most important question
that now confronts the United States.
The best solution apparently is to turn
the roads back to their owners, under
strict government regulations that
would guarantee unified service.
Government operation is wasteful, and
not always efficient. The postal de-
partment, as a general proposition, is
not self supporting and in operating
the railroads there would not be bust
ness economy and efficiency. One
reason is that politics is too disturb
ing an element. The men at the head
of the government are afraid of the
labor organizations and this would
probably hold true of any party in
power.-St. Cloud Journa1-Press.

Statement From Mr. Short.

To The Editor OF The Capital:
| wish to contradict the statement
made in last evenings paper concern
ing my wife and the assault upon Miss
Cook, teacher of the sixth grade,
Eastport Public School. No assault
was made whatever There has never
been a complaint concerning my
children during their six years in the
school until last month when my son
asked to be excused from the class
room He was refused, and it being
absolutely necessary he left. When
he returned Miss Cook told him he
could not enter her room and if he
did she would leave. So he was sent
home by her. The next day he was
expelled by Mr.. Fox and not suspend
ed. Since that time Miss Cook has
acted very unkindly to my daughter.
l leave it entirely to the public to
judge the character of my children, as
they are known throughout PASSPORT
and Annapolis.

the dominant party again. Contests
for nomination will, OF course, take
place in the future as in the past;
leaders will take sides as they have
always done, but the rivalry will be
friendly, and when the primaries are
over the party leaders should do their
part (as they have not done in the
past) and work together in unity and
harmony for success. When the pet
tiness and absurdity of the reasons for
lack of harmony which have brought
defeat to the party, are considered in
the cold light of the present, one is
almost inclined TO doubt the political
sanity of the men who were really
responsible for what was done. And
the Democrats of the State will no
doubt be pleased TO know that Mr..
John j. Mahon. the one really pow
erful leader of the city Democrats, is
openly and firmly in favor of such a
getting together on the part of the
city and State Democrats that there
will be no doubt whatever as to the
result on election day. Mr.. Mahon is
ready TO meet those with whom he has

way. He is heartily tired of the fac
tioRal quarrels which have made the
party organization almost a by-word
of scorn and repToach TO the masses
of the Democratic voters of the State
at large, and he can see no reason
for the continuance of such state OF
affairs. He is ready now, and in the
future, to do his part with his usual
forceful vigor to bring about such
harmony as will be lasting and which
will result in triumphant success.
The approaching congressional NOM
nations are beginning to attract at
tention, and it is apparent that there
will be several contests in both par
ties. The most interesting fight APP
pears to be that which will take place
for the Democratic nomination in the
Fifth District Mr.. Price will be a
candidate for denomination, without
doubt, and will have powerful sup
port, as well as opposition. His most
influential opponent at the present
time seems to be Senator Omar ID.
Crothers, of Cecil County, while Col.
Albert w Sisk, of Caroline County,
and ex-senator Richard S. Dodson, of
Talbot, are also receiving support
which is not without strength. Col.
Sisk has some very strong friends who
are ready to back him, and should he
really get into the fight would render
the result not a little doubtful.
In the Sixth District Mr.. H. Dorsey
Etchinson, of Frederick, has the field
to himself up to the present time. 1t
is reported however, that Mr.. Frank
Mish, of Hagerstown, or Mr.. John
Shearer, of Allegany, may enter the
fight against Mr. Etchinson.
