TWO WAYS OF SURPRISING olsLoYAl1Y.

In Muscatine the other day a min
| lister who was accused of dragging the
American flag in the mud and OF other
pro German acts and utterances was
marched thru the streets with pla-
card hung on his body by body OF
citizens. No other violence was done
him and the crowd appears to have
kepts its temper and acted with deter
mination rather than anger.
The same days press dispatches tell
fthe sentence by federal court
which gave Bernard Stencil, Waiver
" attorney IS months in federal peni-
tertiary together with fine Of 81
500 for disloyal utterances.
Another dispatch notes the arrest OF
Rev. J. A. Robinson, pastor Of the
Church OF the Brethren in Des Moines
who is charged with disloyal asIta-
ton in the soldiers barracks at Des
Moines where he is accused Of urging
soldiers to raise conscientious OBJ"
jections"
The manner of dealing with Stencil
is the better and safer plan as against
the Muscatine method. 1t isn't as SEN
sational and generally speaking isn't
as satisfactory to the average man as
to take a disloyalist out and march
him thru the streets under the scorn
and hatred OF the multitude-but 1t is
safer and does the business and above
all upholds the laws in a time when
the incentives to lawless reprisal are
intense.
The Muscatine crowd appears to
have had as leaders men of deter
mination who kept their heads. went
so far aind controlled those who would
have gone farther. That saved it from
being a mob. perhaps a hanging MOP.
But mobs seldom have such leadership
and no leadership can always controi
and prevent crowds of angry men
from changing into a savage mob.
Moreover any mob law inflicted how
ever judicially offers encouragement
TO mob formations and gives danger
Gus assemblies their opportunity and
excuse. The Stencil way is the better
way.
It is entirely within the possibilities
that had Stencil been 1ectured' by a
United States marshal and permitted
to remain in Waverly to continue his

PIE AND OTHER STUFF.

Swat the fly. shoot the spy, cut out
the lie, swear off on pie, quit drinking
~, and never cay die.-Fort Wayne
News
Five pieces Of lunch counter pie
means war stamp. A hooker Of rye
schedules up the game way Introdu ,e
also five five cent cigars-if you can
find a five cent cigar that isn't on the
order OF German gas attack. OF
course if they cost more they run into
thrift stamps sooner Certainly swat
the fly and shoot the spy not for the
purpose Of buying thrift stamp but as
an ordinary duty like paying the
grocer.
If we were to come right down to
the things that are needed we could
get along without the pie and the rye
and the fumigation. Doc says pie is
bad for US. He insists that we wouldn't
have that stomach trouble II we let
tobacco alone and he lays down as a
dead open and shut proposition that
the rye rots a mans kidneys and sends
him away under many and varied
floral tributes significant of the RICH
esteem in which the deceased was held

ANYTHING NEW IN WAR NsWS7"

"All quiet along the Potomac, was
headline that will recall itself TO
those older persons who waited and
watched from day to day for news from
the war front in the civil war. 1t is
hard waiting The question on the
streets today is the same question
Anything new in the war news
The Marshalltown man had been out
of the city into bigger one. He said
he was glad 10 get back and get hold
of the T.-R. We get more war news,
a better idea of the battle being waged
over there and get it earlier than in
any other paper I see." this man re-
sumed. Here at home the Times Re-
publican brings me all the news of the
war that l find in the morning papers
of the next day" And he went little
farther to say kindly that he appreciat-
ed the service this newspaper gave him
daily and that he believed others did
so.
The T-R. may be pardoned perhaps
for referring to the complimentary and
appreciative statement of the man re-
ferred to above and for calling atten-
ton to the excellent news service it is
giving its patrons. This compliment
extends to all first class evening papers
published at late hour as is the
Times Republican. 1t does not include
those fictitious evening editions
printed In the forenoon and sent broad
cast 10 catch unwary or ignorant pen
MES by street sales. Those who read
the evening edition of the Times Re-
publican and any morning paper.
metropolitan or otherwise, will have
noticed that the,news they read at their
supper tables is practically item for
item and even word for word with what
they read next day in the morning edI-
tons
The difference is as much in oppor-
tunity as in skill in making news
paper and energy in gathering news.
An evening paper is today's paper. A
morning paper is yesterdays paper.
The difference in time between
Europe and MarshalHown Is an item
TO be considered. To illustrate: Queen
Victoria died little after 8 o'clock at
Cowes, England. The compositors in
the Times-Republican office were set
ting the news OF her death fifteen min
utes afterwaTd early in the afternoon
Of that day, by the clock several hours
before the queen had died. The differ
ence in time permitted the evening
paper to cover that whole day In Eng.
land to its readers Of 4:30 edition.
And 50 in war news the evening paper
that demands and gets all the war news
| by immediate wire goes to it's evening
readers with the war news Of the whole

Two Men Who Know.

In saying this l by no means share
the opinion prevalent among us today
that England laid all the mines Tor
the outbreak Of the war; on the con-
trary, I believe in Sir Edward Grey's
love of peace and in his earnest wish
10 arrive al an agreement wit, u.s.
Herr Won Jagow.
Gottlieb Won Jagow was the German
foreign minister when the war broke
out. He makes this statement in the
course of his defense of the govern
ment against the charges of Prince
Lichnowsky, then the German ambas-
sador at London, who asserts that Eng
land did everything in her power to
prevent the war and was thwarted by
Germany's Interchangeable resolve that
war must be.
The opinion that England caused the
war Is prevalent among us today"
Won Jagow says. But it Is not shared
by the two men in Germany who are

these two men are right, then the
opinion prevalent among us" Is wrong
Germany il wrong. How did Germany
come to be wrong? She was certainly
told that England laid all the mines
for the outbreak of the war" Those
who told her this were men who wished
to excite her hatred against England.

was the burden Of what they told her;
French and Russian. they matter not"
Did these men deliberately lie to her?
They did, if the foreign minister and
the ambassador at London know what
they are talking about; and on this
point, tho they disagree on everything
else. they agree.
The foreign minister testifies to Sir
Edward Grey's earnest wish to arrive
at an agreement with u.s." Why could
he not arrive at such an agreement?
Ven JaSc-- --a:s wiling. But Won
Jagow was powerless. No agreement
could be arrived at because of cir
cumstance concerning which Grey and
Lichnowsky knew nothing. and which
Won Jagow learned too late. On July
S, 1914. eighteen days before the ulu-
matum to Serbia, there was a confer
ence at Potsdam at which the kaiser
and the military chiefs were present,
and these men resolved on war. All
subsequent negotiations were mere
gestures. SO far as Germany was con-
cerned. and nothing that England
could have said or done would have
averted the carrying out Of the Pots
dam conspiracy.-New York Times.

have him grid again his loin and
travel back without the coin. Recall
| the freedom he refuses and hand him
back his wooden shoes. don't hang or
otherwise abuse him but tell him Hin

| Well you can imagine how the boys
will enjoy themselves when they
march into Potsdam one OF the COM
ing days But they will not meet the
kaiser's sons there, not unless the
wind blew something heavy on them
about the time the boys start on the
Potsdam trip.
The kaiser can't be all bad. See what
good care he takes of his sons. Such
parental solicitude and filial obedience
to orders to hang their clothes on
hickory limb but not go near the
water is unexampled in the history or
wars
Kansas sowed 5000, 900 extra acres
OF wheat And folks are pulling for a
big crop in Kansas who never cared
cuss what became Of Kansas before
the food administration began work.
Every day we hold them runs the
balance along the beam in our favor.

Billy Bunny and His Friends
[gy David Cory.l

WE'LL YOU remember in the last story
little Billy Bunny was making call
on old Uncle Bullfrog at the Old
Mill Pond And guess the little rab-
bit might have stayed until half-past
thirteen o'clock if, all Of a sudden,
Old Sic'em. the farmers dog, hadn't
come along Now. of course, Old
Sic'em was too told to run very fast,
but just the same Billy Bunny wasn't
going to give him chance to catch
him, so off went the little rabbit, clip
pity clip, hippity hip, and by and by
he came to the Friendly Forest, where
all the little four-footed folk and the
feathered people were busy making
their homes for the summer.
Old Squirrel Nutcracker sat outside
his doorstep while Mrs. Nutcracker
hung out the rugs and beat the sofa
cushions. And Jimmy Chipmunk chat
tered on the top of the Old Snake
Fence at Robbie Redbreast, who had
flown over from the Orchard to stretch
his wings.
Ira la la, ira la la. Days are bright
and warm,
Mr.. Happy Suns on high
In the meadows of the sky,
And the dand slions wink
All along the rivers brink"
You see, Robbie Redbreast loved to
sing all sorts Of songs. and that's why
all the little people of the Friendly
Forest loved him so. For we all love
to hear a song II It's not too slow and
long.
