GERMAN PROPAGANDA

IT'S a startling story A. Bruce Bielaski, chief Of the
bureau OF investigation of the Department of Justice. toli
a senate committee yesterday. His disclosures Of German
propaganda and all its ramifications ought to bring abou,
a housekeeping in America, for there are men here
who now are living in ease because of the generosity and
support of their countrymen, who helped Bernstorff in
his nefarious schemes to cripple the United States. Their
anne should forever be anathema, and they should oe
deprived of the support and respect of all true Americans
We knew that German propaganda was dangerous
but how dangerous we never guessed. It struck at the
most vital institutions of the country. It brought dissen.
sion into laboring camps. and caused strife and death
and sorrow. But. worst phase of all, it's poison was pour.
ed into our democratic institutions. Nothing was over.
looked-nothing was sacred. Many college professor:
were involved. Men who held positions of trust, who
were shaping and moulding the lives Of the young men
ana women OF America at a time when impressions count.
ed for much in the economic and political world were
servants OF Bernstorff, and they served him we'll. Rath:

tional Institutions. But our lesson has been learned:

were intended to sow the roots Of Kultur in American

tional institutions never again will have a welcoming cal

press, but, to the everlasting credit Of editors ana pub.

der a cloud, the very. very small number of yellow
journals which flourish because some men and women
have small minds.
The American public long suspected the Hearst pa.
pers OF pro-Germanism. Mr.. Bielaski's story leaves no
doubt in the public mind. Americans know where Hears,

caoies ana other facilities for gathering and disseminat.

and Hearst was made to realize the error Of his ways
But In America he never has been reprimanded except
by a few pubHc-spirited men, who could do nothing. To.
day. his International News Service has a renresentat tive
on board the George Washington reporting the events Of
that historic sailing. The use Of the wireless equipment
has been afforded him, and he will use it. but how, rha,
remains to be seen. But whatever he does. one can be
sure that 1t will not rebound to the credit Of the press

Arkansas Issues in Doubt.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 1.-THE i'm
portance of the Legislative session in
Arkansas will depend largely upon
the action Of the voters in the special
election December IL, for ratification
or rejection of the proposed consti-
tutional convention. Should the new
constitution be endorsed, a general
revamping of statutes would be neces-
sary. The constitution, although linn
iting legislative sessions to 60 days,
exempts the first session after its
adoption. It is said a six months
SESSION would be required to re-enact
the laws. The new constitution would
contain stringent prohibition safe
guards and would extend full suffrage
to women.
The 1917 legislature passed a pro-
hibition law. but later the supreme
court ruled it was not a violation of
law to bring liquor into the state.
Suffrage in primary elections was ex-
tended by the last legislature.
Should the voters reject the pro-
posed constitution, a budget system
for state institutions and depart
ments; legislation to aid crippled
soldiers; a measure to create a pardon
board, and a law creating a general
utilities commission probably would
be the most important bills COM
ing up.

Bills will be presented for an appro-

build a state highway, independent OF

Texas Amendment.
Dallas, Tex, Dec. 7.-Submission
of a constitutional amendment for
statewide prohibition will be up for
action at the Texas legislature SEES
sion. Especial interest attaches to
this because of a recent court de-
cision knocking out statutory prohi-
bition adopted at the last legislature.
Despite the court ruling all of the
chief cities remained dry under a law
forbidding traffic in intoxicants with
in ten miles of any army camp.
Fiscal and judicial reform is almost
sure to be considered. Texas now has
no budget system and an investigat-
ing committee of the last legislature
has reported suggesting. a compre-
hensive system Of financing that a

party in it's last state convention. :
Calling of a constitutional conven-
ton will either be decided upon or a
special committee will be named to
arrange the details of time and place
for a convention. Governor Hobby

the lead of. the national government
in any plan for post war reconstruc-
ton.

Marketing in Wisconsin.

Madison. Wis. Dec. Action on
the federal prohibition amendment
and measures governing marketing
and prohibition, the teaching Of for
eign languages in public and par
ochial schools below high schools are
prominent among matters TO come
before the legislature. The Republi-
cans have a comfortable working ma
jority in both houses.
The Republican platform includes
q plank that any practicable methods
for the; marketing and distribution of
products will be adopted. The pur-
poSe OF legislation is ITO give the small
country storekeeper, retailer. farmer
and working man a fair deal and to
eliminate unfair competition.
Another Republican plank de-
clares that no foreign language
should be taught IN public. common
OF grade schools. The Democrats in
their party platform favor the teach
ing OF "only the English language in
all schools, public and private. dur
ing their plastic age of instruction up
to and including the eighth grade or
It's equivalent"
Seventeen votes in the senate and
81 In the assembly are required for
ratification OF the dry amendment.
The Wisconsin anti-saloon league
claims 81 votes in the senate and 81
in the assembly. Opponents to pro-
hibition claim they will have enough
support to defeat ratification.

constitutional Change In N. ID.
Bismarck, N. D.. Dec. 1.-THE bill
fathered by the National N~onpartisan
league which. in effect. is a new con-
stitution INC which failed OF passage
two years ago, is expected to be re-
vived at the coming session of the
legislature in which the league will
have 80 Of the 40 senators and Is Of
the 113 representatives.
Returns from more than SO per
cent of the counties indicate that the
ten constitutional amendments, the
leagues principal plans, were de-
feated at the November election. For
this reason, the famous House Bill
AZ Is expected to be resurrected.
The bill provided that its constitu-
ton should become operative upon its
final ratification by the Legislators.
Should the leagues bonding and
state ownership amendments carry,
enactment of laws could be expected
bonding the state for the building of
terminal elevators. grain warehouses,
flour mills. packing plants, public
printing plants and many other in
dustries and enterprises. The league
might even embark in the distribution
of farm machinery. lumber. building
supplies, groceries and other mer-
chandize. The league stores, num-
bering probably 40 at this time. would
form a basis for such a wholesale
merchandising scheme. --

Revision OF Statutes.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 7.-chief
among the subjects to come before
the legislature at its Forthcoming ses-
sion is the decennial revision Of
statutes. A committee Of the legis-
lature was named by the governor
early in November to prepare bills.
Another important measur Is the
mortgage recording tax bill, pro-
posed two years ago by Governor
Frederick Gardner. The bill pro-
vides a tax at time OF recording Of a
mortgage in lieu of q general per-
centage tax on mortgages, which lat
ter plan is declared to work badly.
The federal prohibition amendment
is expected to be approved. Both the
Republican and the Democratic party
platforms contained a plank pledsin9
Its candidates to an early vote on the
measure.
In the senate the Democrats will
have a majority Of six, and In the
house the Republicans will control by

returns from the last election.
