SETS ANEW
PRECEDENT BY
SANITORIUM
REQUEST
Col Hicks Gift is Typical of News
paper Mems Interest in Public
Health Campaign.

That no one incident in Wisconsin's
organized fight against tuberculosis
and allied preventable diseases has
had deeper significance than the be-
quest of $4,000 left to the Winnebago
County tuberculosis Sanatorium by
the will of the late Col. John Hicks of
Oshkosh is the opinion of leaders in
the anti-tuberculosis movement, ac-
cording to DR.. T. L. Harrington, of
Milwaukee, president of the Wisconsin
Anti-Tuberculosis Association.
"The bequest is an epoch making
one in Wisconsin and it is especially
fitting and gratifying that it should
have been made by newspaper man,
an honored representative of profess
sion to which the success of the public
health educational campaign is so
largely due" said DR.. Harrington, com
,nenting on the gift. Great as will
be the immediate good done thru
strengthening the Winnebago County
Institution, the bequest has a far
greater value. By leaving SO large a
share of his modest fortune to this
definite work for the relief of suffering
and the protection of humanity, Col.
Hicks has pointed out to other men Of
wealth a field of service for the money
which they leave behind them, that up
to this time has been practically unre-
cognized. To the thinking man it is a
field which must make strong appeal
for in no way can man serve his pos
terity so well as by helping to make
the world a safer, healthier place to

PUNISHMENT
FIT THE crime

Why not take citizenship away from
those whose words and acts show them
to be violating their oaths of allie
glance? America took these people
into the national family. 1t gave them
the rights for which thousands of A
mericans died and suffered in the past.
This was done with the understanding
that these new citizens would defend
those rights and hand them on.
That citizenship was not given to be
used to destroy the rights of demo-
cracy or to give aid to the autocracy
from which the people of this country
fed and against which they have
fought for century. Those who in
this time of crisis refuse to work and
fight for democracy prove their IN
fitness to enjoy citizenship.
Citizenship is a privilege not right.
Taking it away from those who have
abused the privilege is making the
punishment fit the crime.
Such a punishment would curb the
disloyalty of those who make political
capital out of their anti-Americanism
Those leaders of Wisconsin Pro-Ger-
manism who first counted noses to see
whether it would pay to exploit the
race hatred and un-Americanisrn they
cultivate, would find their political cap
ital conscated if their citizenship was
taken away. Even those native born
Americans who are seeking political
profit from race hatred and disloyaI-
ty would be discouraged if they under
stood that naturalized voters who fol-
lowed them would lose their right of
citizenship.
If those naturalized citizens who are
seeking to trade in this reasonable
market were certain that they could
never realize their political profits it
is probable that many of them would
lose their interest in the success of
the Kaiser.

GERMANY AND

loyal United States citizen of Ger

Of Liberty bonds and thrift stamps
recently made an illuminating state
ment concerning stories that have been
appearing from time to time on the
food shortage in Germany and the eff
fectS on the blockade.
ct is folly to place too much con-
fidence in Germany's food shortage,
said he, "as a factor in bringing peace.
| was laborer in Frankfort for II
years before coming to the United
States, and my father before me also
was a laborer there. The pay he re-
ceived and the pay received was not
generous enough, even in the most
prosperous times, to provide us with
half the dainties with which the A
merican workman's table is provided.
"The German workman is accus-
toned to short rations Here in A
merica we read that a German family
is limited to SO many pounds of po-
tatoes week and so many ounces of
butter and bread and sugar, and we
say that means the war can't last
long; nobody can live on that On
the contrary, Germans can live on
those rations and have been living on
them for years.
"Unless | am much mistaken, Ger
many will be able to stagger along,
for the simple reason that Germans
never were heavy eaters, except those
of the well-to-do class. The German
workman never was we'll fed when
lived in Germany.
"The blockade may have its effect
but the only real way to defeat Ger
many is by force of arms. That is
why l have contributed my share of
money to help win the war for the
United States. I know what German
fare means. I came to this country
to escape slow starvation, low wages
and poverty. have been better fed
and better clothed by far since coming
here, and I have been able to save
money and keep square with my fell
low man. I wouldn't go back to Ger
many and don't want any Germany
over here. If my savings can help de-
feat the German plan of life, Ishall
feel that I am doing a bit in the in
terest of righteousness and square
dealing. I intend to let the Govern
ment have every cent of money I can
spare, for democracy has done a mil
lion times more for me since. I have
been here than the German plan did
for all the generations of my labor
ing family"
