NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS

NoMMON sense as well as military ne
~ cessity dictates general agreement with
kbe new policy Of the War Department in
Gt3ppressing addresses in American cas-
ulJty lists. Popular opinion condemned
<he Innovation on first announcement but
publication of'reasons for the suppression
and how It will operate have proved that
popular opinion was too hasty.
The next of kin, who alone have con-
cefn and rights in the matter, will be
potined officially OF casualties affecting
thar relatives. Names will continue to be
Drimtsd in the newspapers. but even the
appearance of common names need cause
no anxiety to families who possess them
and have sons in the service. Formal no.
tincation by the War Department will dem
tify the victim of the Huns to his imme.
date family.
% No news will be good news.

CLOSING UP THE RANKS IN
WISCONSIN

TNIIAT is good news which comes from
Wisconsin about the withdrawal of Gov.
ernor McGovern from the senatorial race
in favor Of Representative Lenroot.
With the elimination of Victor Berger
by indictment by Federal Grand Jury, it
leaves the contest between a red-blooded
American and James Thompson. the La
Toilette candidate committed to pro.Ger-
man paciiism.
La Toilette has been repudated by the
Wisconsin Legislature. He is thoroughly
discredited Yet the ramlfications of fac
tionalism in Wisconsin are so complicated
that the nation was led to fear La Fol.
letteism might win in the person OF
Thompson through a division of the forces
of the opposition.
The danger is now apparently removed
and the nation expects to hear of Len
roots nomination next Tuesday as the
Republican candidate by an overwhelming
majority.

THE MILK IN THE COCoANUT

yTa1S newspaper does not believe that
= the holders of Fortieth Ward land on
which houses for Hog Isl nd workers are
to be built intend to obstruct the plans
Of the Government by holding out for
unfair or exorbitant prices.
The first reason for this opinion Is that
tl1e landowners are patriotic Americans,
who understand that they can fght the
Hun by cooperating wholo-hoartedly with
1he Government in its plans to build ships
The second reason is that II they by any
chance should honestly think their land
q worth more than fair price and fight
20 get it, the Government has the power
20 take 1t by the right Of eminent domain
md pay an equitable price for it.
\ II one of the reasons is not sufficient the
bther will answer.

DANCING? YOU'RE MISTAKEN!

CHEERING reassurances of IA general
" vernal innocence and unsophistication
Of heart spring brightly from much that
Is being said and written of the move
ment to prohibit dancing in the cafes"
Who would have supposed in these times
of fever and frivols that all those clever
and representative persons whose voices
rise in the general symposium were ac-
customed to staying home at nights in
gentle ignorance of what actually goes on
at the dansants? What will those earnest
folk say when the news is broken to them
at last--when they learn that no one
dances at the cafes-that dancing passed
out Of vogue years and years ago?
That is, indeed. the case. One does not
dance at a dansant. One walks about or
twirls. One toddles or one dodders or one
limps here and there. jazzstrcken, to the
sound of music OF sorts. But dance?
Never!

WE'VE HAD ENOUGH

THERE is little reason for further
L continuance of the inquiry which the
Senate Judiciary Committee has been
directing into the affairs of the German
American Alliance. The committee is
lavishly wasting its breath and its
energy upon the Hexamers and the
Ulrichs and all the other emissaries OF
Potsdamnation, who should be dismissed
Immediately from public attention and
helped along into decent oblivion with
whatever sort of swift kick the Senators
find themselves able to put into words.
The purposes served by the inquiry are
merely those of final corroboration. 1t
crystallized convictions that have been
more or less general. 1t has shown that
the leaders of the Alliance, the men who
presumed to influence the opinion OF It's
membership. were neither inventive nor
original. They babbled the pieces they
were taught by the Berlin Foreign Office
and. as industrious lackeys, they were
royalty tipped.
Through all the dismal record of their
labors there is only one definite result
observable. They managed consistently
to belle and misrepresent the vast
majority of the membership-men and
women who were associated with it for
reasons of sentiment or for the love of
old times rather than because of any
sympathy with a lunatc Government
that is carrying its people steadily down
ward through matchless agonies to
destruction.
1t is easily conceivable that many of
the conspicuous propagandists Of the
German PHILOSOPHERS in this country find
an actual pleasure in the notoriety which
the Senate committee is providing for
them. OF course, the Federal charter of
the Alliance will be withdrawn. 1t should
be withdrawn now. We have had enough.
In one sinister effort of the leaders of
the organization, disclosed at yesterdays
session of the Judiciary Committee, there
should be lesson for all voting Ameri-
cans.
The Alliance rugged agreements con-
sistently with petty party leaders. They
struck intelligently for once in such
instances. The obscure boss of one party
or another has Il great power in the
aggregate and he always was and always
will be the weak link in a system of gov
ernment like ours. The leaders of the
Alliance found him easily approachable
And It may be worth while now TO specu-
late on the things that might ultimately
have happened if the course of propa-
ganda Of this sort, stupid but energetic
were permitted to go on without inter-
ruption and exposure.
Who can imagine Americans or Eng
lish or Japanese crowding into powerful
organizations in Germany to promulgate
hatred or dstrust of the existing Gov
ernment? Nothing of the sort would
have been permissible in times of peace.
Aud were such fantastic enterprise
launched now it's leaders would he
promptly interned upon diet of black
bread and thin soup.
