GERMANY MUST PAY

~ ICHARD H. EDMONDS, the
X able and patriotic editor of the
S Manufacturers Record, adds to
the Philadelphia Public Ledger's
proposal that the Kaiser and his fell
low murderers be punished, an i'm
mense war indemnity with which to
reconstruct the woeful wastes left
in the wake of the Huns in Belgium
and France. Mr.. Edmonds reads
public sentiment in the United
States all right. We do want indem-
nifty, not for ourselves. but for the
poor, helpless, homeless souls of Bel
gium, France, Italy, Servia and those
other nations laid waste by the por-
cine appetites of the Kaiser and his
plunderbund, and we want the arch
criminals of the world-war properly
punished.
Germany can afford to pay for her
folly far better than the South, fol-
lowing the Civil War could bear tue
burden that defeat brought to her,
argues Mr.. Edmonds, who reminds
us that while the South fought fair
ly for what it deemed a worthy
principle, "Germany's war is for
no principle; il is a definite, prea.-
ranged and predetermined war for
the express purpose of conquering
and looting the world"
1T is the most unholy war known
to mankind. Its barbarism has been
the barbarism of He'll itself. 1t has
destroyed womanhood and child
hood as ruthlessly as it has destroyed
cathedrals and churches and works
of art" says the writer, and con-
tinues:
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-08-29

AS the war goes on and we sound
depth after cepth of German infaray,
our views as a people change. AS
our young men die and our old men
and women go brokenhearted TO
their lonely graves bereft of sons who
should have been their comfort; as
we read the letters our boys in
France send home of country de-
vastated. OF churches burned, of
homes looted, of property destroyed,
of babies murdered and women raw
ished, mercy becomes a mockery
and we steel cur hearts for the aw-
full fate we as a people must deal
out to this criminal among the ma
tions. These voices crying for inst
punishment Of the German people
who have aided and abetted in the
greatest crime of the ages are the
spokesmen of a vast mute element
of the nation that has become legion
and is fast becoming universal. Ger
many has contracted a great debt
and Germany must pay-in both
blood and money.

After years of preparation.
through its schools and its univer-
stiles, for the purpose of encour-
aging its people to long for a
chance to loot the world, and
through years of strenuous work
to create the greatest lighting
machine ever known, 1t launched
upon a peaceful world its cam
paign of murder and pillage.
1t seems inconceivable to think
that there can be found any
houest-hearted man or woman
who could for a moment question
that justice to the men who have
died, to the millions of men and
women who have lived in an
agony of woe, and to the civiliza-
tion of the future, demands a
financial penalty equally as great
as that here suggested, in addi-
tion to the penalty of death upon
the leaders of this fearful con-
spiracy.
If this penalty should be en-
forced upon Germany (and in say
ing Germany we include its al
lies) to the extreme. that count
try would not have proportion
ately as great a burden to carry
as the South had to bear after
AS the South redeemed itself
in half a century. it would be en-
tirely possible for Germany to
achieve as much. Moreover, it
would be a curse to the world for
Germany not to have to suffer
through long years of penitence
and struggle for the unspeakable
crimes which it has committed.
A prosperous Germany within
the next quarter of a century
would be a blot upon civilization
and would show that civilization
did not have the moral backbone
and manhood to punish the crimi-
nal.
AS we'll might we open the
doors of every penitentiary in
every land and turn loose every
vile criminal who has forfeited
his right to earn a living and to
be treated as a decent citizen, as
to permit Germany to go unpun-
ished for a long term of years as
some atonement for it's crimes,
with financial indemnity which
would restore to the nations
robbed and looted the financial
cost of saving civilization from

 AS LEADER OF REDS

Senator Robert M. LaFollette of Wisconsin today was branded as the leader of the American "Bolshevid' by Governor Charles H. Brough of Ar kansas, in an address before the con gress of national service.
 "The United States" said Governor Brough, "has it's Bolsheviki as surely as Russia. The I. W. w. and the paci- fists, dwelling in the twilight zone of American patriotism, form it.
 ''The leader of the American Bol- sheviki is Senator LaFollette. Were 1 a member of the United States senate l would not hesitate one moment to vote for his expulsion from that body"
 Governor Brough offered a unique play on the letters of the Hun word "Kultur."

NEWS

The primal function of a newspa- per is to disseminate the news; the cir culation of paid advertising for the ultimate profit of the advertiser is an- other matter"
 This passage is taken from a mem orial presented to congress by the Ma tional League of American House wives. Just what the league wants in the matter of newspapers is this:
 "In the interest of the public wei fare, and to conserve news print paper during the war, the right to use the mails should be denied any daily news. paper of more than four pages and Sunday or weekly newspapers of more than eight pages, and any weekly semi-monthly or monthly magazine or trade journal or catalogue more than four ounces in weight"
 Nobody wants to conserve paper more than publishers. But
 Every once in a while someone has the brilliant idea that the one big thing to do is to publish an adless newspaper. Every once in so often somebody starts one. It always fails. Why? The fact that advertising pays for publication is not the fundamental reason. Papers can be financed other wise.
 The real reason is that no one will continue to read an adless paper. And the reason for that is that advertising is news.
 What is news anyhow? A profound student of journalistic psychology once defined it as "what you want to find in your paper" And that is profoundly true.
 What is news to a man without a job? The ''help wanted" columns, of course.
 What is news to the man without labor? The situation wanted" col umns.
 What is news to the small boy? The ad telling where to buy skates and sleds or bats and balls.
 What is news to the woman in the home? The daily merchandise stories of her tradesmen, telling her where and at what season to replenish her stores.
 And it is the very ladies in the Ma tional Housewives League who would not read papers which would not con- tain the news of where to buy blankets and bacon and bridge prizes to the best advantage.
 It is a false view of advertising which considers it a matter simply of ultimate profit to the advertiser. In any sale, there is advantages on both sides, and not the less profitable side, is that of the purchaser Wis, Post.

MINERAL PSYCHOLOGIST
 TO LECTURE IN KINGMAN

The work in which Mir M. A. Allen of the State Bureau of Mines has been engaged during the last six months makes of especial interest his lectures which are to be given at Kingman in the highschool on March 2S ,29, 30, under the auspices of Mir. A. H. Smith.
 Immediately after war was declared it came very forcibly to the attention of the government authorities that there were many minerals that were not produced in quantity in the United States, and that these minerals were just as essential to war as were cop per, iron and lead.
 Hence, a call came on all states from the Council of National Defense, the U. S. Geological Survey, the U. $. Bureau of Mines, and numerous other organizations, asking for information regarding the mineral occurrences. Mineral resources were not so import ant, but every occurrence was desired, because it was known that if the war lasted very long that many minerals WOULD nave lO DS lLetuy LACSPSSeA' W their cost.
 MT. Allen was put immediately in charge of this work with corps of assistants, and the work, which has recently been completed, revealed many interesting things. It was dis covered that because of a lack of knowledge of these minerals, many Of them were being overlooked.
 The course to be given here by MT. Allen was the outcome of this work he will endeavor to tell the people of this community of the war minerals their need, the methods of finding them, their uses, methods of treatment for the market, and, in fact, all about them. The work will be illustrated both with moving pictures and lantern slides, and will prove something that was "just what you are looking for but didn't know where to find"
