What is Government?
Boston Post.)

The ease of Rose Pastor Stokes, re-
Gently found guilty of violating the es-
pionage act, brings again into discus
sion the alleged misuse of the words
administration and government
Mrs. Stokes declared in her defence
that when she said the government
was for the profiteers she meant the
administration. This could not have
helped her any, for one is as bad as
the other as affected by the espionage
act.
The New York Sun takes to task
those who use these words interchang
ably, and perhaps it is correct, strictly
speaking. "Men who should know bet
ter it says, constantly write about
what the. government has done when
they mean something done by Presi-
dent Wilson or one of the men under
him, and occasionally we hear the word
administration used when government
is meant
OF course, we all admit that the ad-
minlstration is the branch that admin
istrates the government. In wartime it
! is the commanding power SO what il
does, In so far as the war is concerned
Is to all intents and purposes the action
of the government itself. Things done
"by President Wilson or one of the
men under him. are done by the gov.
eminent itself, and you cannot argue
| it otherwise.
1t may fairly be asserted, therefore
that when an individual denounces and
belittles the war acts of the administra.
ton he denounces and belittles the gov.
eminent of the United States.

John Jay Chapman, one of the men
whom the whole world honors, has a
letter in the New York papers urging
the friends of Harvard university to
protest against honoring in the memo

who fought for freedom. Chapman s

Oh, Say, Can You Sing?

oh, say can yon sing from the start to
the end,
What So proudly yon stand for when
orchestlas play it;
when the whole congregation, in voices
that blend,
Strike up the grand tune and then
torture and STAY it?
How valiant they shout when they're
hrst starting out;
But the dawn's early light finds them
iioundering about
lis the Star Spanglcd Banner they re
trying to sing,
But they don't know the words of the
previous brave thing.
Hank, the twlight's last cleaning has
some of them stopped.
But the valiant survivors press forward
serenely
10 the ramparts we watched, when some
Others are dropped,
And the loss OF the leaders is mani
fest keenly.

And there's a few LETT to face the

.DE|VATU EQUALIZATION
 PROMISED D|SL0YAL

Naturalized citizens who are guilty of disloyalty to the United States may lose their citizenships through proceed lngs to be commenced by the govern ment, according to a letter received by Assistant United States Attorney Langston, yesterday from the depart ment of justice
 The letter cites several cases of per sons denaturaliZed in the United States The leading case cited is that of Fred erlck w. Wusterbarth, a denaturalized German native, who was tried before Judge Haight of the district court of New Jersey. The United States at torney for New Jersey recently brought proceeding for the standardization of Wusterbarth. The proceeding was based upon the ground that the defend ants final papers had been secured by fraud and were therefore voidable by the government The specific fraud alleged was secret reservation of all legiance to Germany at the time he made oath of unqualified allegiance to the United States. At the trial it was deduced from the evidence that such reservation might be inferred consist ed of disloyal statements made since the declara tion of the war. The letter states that Judge Haight decided in l favor of the United States.
 The two similar cases cited in the letter to the attorney arose recently in the state of Washington. The first of these apparently involves the same legal proposition as the Wursterbarth case. A motion made by the attorneys | for the defendant was denied by the l court.
 The second case concerns a German who was naturalized in 1911 Accord ing to the letter the department of jus tice is advised that the court has just cancelled his certificates of naturaliza. ton for disloyalty

Recently one motor car man made an experiment to find out just how far chivalry had wande in recent years. He placed a car on a busy road and kept a man stand ing by it.
