AMENDMENT EMPOWERING The
PRESIDENT TO ACQUIRE GER
MAN DOCKS AND WhARVES.
NO DISSENTING VOTES
Only Questions Raised Were the Pos
sibility Of Violating Treaty OF 1799
Between Prussia and v. 5. and
Too Hasty Action of Congress.

Washington. - Legislation author

In this country. requested by the alien
property custodian to permanently
uproot German commercial influence.
was approved by the Senate and add
ed to the urgent deficiency appropriar
ton bill. An amendment empower
ing the president to acquire title to
the German steamship companies
docks and wharves at Hoboken. N. j.,
also was accepted.
The vote on the provision for sale
of enemy property was unanimous,
and came after several hours scath-
ing denunciation of German kultur
and intrigues for world domination.
Senator Martin said Mr.. Palmer
does not intend to interfere with
American interests in German-owned
property. and that his authority
would extend only to the German in
terests
Senator Freylinghusen said there
was almost a panic" In Passaic over
garbled reports OF Mr.. Palmer's plans
and urged that an amendment be add
ed to provide for review of Mr.. Pal
mer's acts TO protect American inter
ests
Enemy property under the law Is
property owned in an enemy country.
and there Is no intention to interfere
with the property or money of Ger
mans or Austrians living in this coun-
try The purpose IS 10 sever the hold
of Germans In Germany upon vast
commercial and Industrial enterprises
in the United States which have been
closely connected with the kaiser's
government, and served as outposts
Of the Teutonic movement for world
dominion.
Under the trading with the enemy
act the alien property custodian takes
possession of and administers these
properties. but is without authority %
sell them The new legislation Will
empower him to place them in Amer
lean hands.
The only question raised in debate
were the possibility of violating the
treaty of 1893 between Prussia and
the United States and of too hasty
action by Congress. Expected oppo-
sition to the provision for purchase
OF the Hamburg American and North
German Lloyd docks at Hoboken fail
ed to materialize.

clusively, the federal government is waking up.
Some states legislature have gone ahead

Still other places have lost all patience and
towns have organized committees who are clean

no doubt in the offenders minds that business IS

A SMOKERS LAMENT.

If anybody imagine that it is an easy task
to break off 40-year old harmless habit, their
imagination is faulty. However, that is just
what we are up against-the breaking of 40
year habit for the simple reason shat we can
not stand the increase in the price of our favor
tie brand. For that period we have been an in
veterate smoker, making the old pipe smell
stronghold sweet, you understand meanwhile
developing craving that is hard to down. But
it must be done for the price of the weed forbids.
Just think, in less than year they have raised
the price more than one hundred percent. And
naturally, it is followed by the parting of the
ways. SO goodbye old pal-dear old pipe. We
have nothing against you. but against the tobac-
co Barons who have us over a batre :
Lamenting over this sad parting. we stop to
cogitate, and 10. and behold, we discover our
stupidity. In that we had forgotten that the
tobacco Rarons had given enormous sums of
money to the Red Cross and other worthy causes
and that they are not supposed to pay themselves.
They merely advanced the money and are now
collecting from others on delivery. However
since the Barons advanced the money for good
causes, someone who knows what comfort the
old pipe is, may pursuade us to reconsider our
determination; you never can tell

mo CHANCE, HE SAYS.

There is more than one way to tell a slack
er from real men. For instance: Surprising that
man is classed by the board as class Al, and
supposing that man appeals to the higher board
on what appears to be very flimsy pretext; that
man is a Stacker. At least in our opinion he is.
However, in telling to of the federal officials
here Yesterday that Ketchikan had discovered
one such case; and to tantalize that official, we
mentioned the fact that the man was Democrat
at that "Hugh!" he exclaimed and taking a
long breath as though he was about to explode
he added; "Never fear, no chance that the man'r
appeal will avail him anything. for the board Of
appeal is made up of black-legged Republicans"
Now, what do you think of that? AS though
the Republicans were anxious for the Democrats
to die. He should know that the Democrats are
doing just that very act-killing themselves, in
Guiding the slackers. AS matter of fact, the
smell of the decomposing machine has already
reached Washington.

THE PENALTY TOO MILD.

Two days ago it announced in dis
patches that Paul Bolo Pasha, the arbitrator
of France, had paid the penalty with his life.
A much too mild penalty for the crime. If the
report is accurate he must have suffered very
little, for in wink his black heart was pierced
by several bullets that ended it all. We say the
penalty was too light because of the suffering he
caused to innumerable others through his deceit
If by his action, he was instrumental in prolong-
ing the war one single second, just think who+
that means when the world is at war. If the
men had been taken to the very top of the Effe'
Tower and there roasted with a light electric
current so as to make him suffer for hundred
years. as horrible as this appears, it would not
have been enough to fully expiate his crime.
