TAR AND FEATHERS AND JUDGE
LYNCH

Some of our patriotic citizens are, re-
lieving their feelings by applying coats of
tar and feathers to such Of their neigh
bors as have made their pro-German
ideas obnoxious. This method Of adorn-
ment may seem appropriate under some
circumstances. However, there are rea-
sons for thinking that such proceedings
are not best adapted to meet the present
exigency. ~
Also in one or two extreme cases, Ger
man suspects have been summarily treat
ed by Judge Lynch, with results that may
not be what was bargained for.
The trouble with all these doings is that
the Germans can always beat us when it
comes to brutality. It is now reported
that they have been cutting off the noses
and ears Of our prisoners, as retaliation
for lawless acts against o-Germans in
this country. We ought not to give them
any excuse for such barbarities.
Our people are held back by humanitar-
ian considerations from much Of this kind
Of thing. But there is no sense Of human
ity, law, order or decency to hold the Ger
mans back. Hence we should confine
ourselves to strictly legal and military
means Of dealing with alien enemies.
Acts like these have been provoked by
the feeling that our government has been
very easy going in treatment Of spies and
informed Germans. It is Of the utmost
importance that all who are charged with
espionage should be summarily tried and
just sentences imposed at once upon the
guilty. If we are going to stop these ex-
preston Of lawlessness on the part Of our
citizens, justice must work with quick
efficiency.

TIL ETRAIL OF PROPAGANDA

The American people about now need
gas masks. Subtitle poison is being distri.
buted and it is amazing how easily it en-
tiers the most unsuspecting mind and does
its work.
A great many, people who are intense
ly American in their sympathies are &C.
tually serving the enemies Of America by
credulously receiving and passing on this
stuff. The propaganda is so clever that
it sometimes deceives the best Of US.
Tn harmful talk distributed among us
by our enemies takes all kinds of PERM
cious forms. One vile and lying yarn made
attacks on the character Of the Red Cross
nurses. In the districts where castor
beans were being produced for oil for air
plane motors, the yarn was whispered in
to the ears of the farmers that these
plants would exhaust the soil. In many
places the propaganda merely takes the
general form Of growing about the con-
slant succession Of drives for money Tor
bonds, Red Cross work, etc.
It is exceedingly difficult to discrimin-
ate. Our people can't keep their mouths
shut when they hear Of real wrongs in the
war work. Mistakes are always being
made and only by publicity can they be
remedied. When the boys were dying OF
pneumonia last winter in the half fin
ished environments, there was need Of pub
lie agitation to have dangerous conditions
removed. ,... - 70
The best way is to be exceedingly sus-
picious of the stories that pass around
from hand to hand in an unauthorized
way, Any legitimate criticism finds its
way into the newspapers and soon
spreads over q wide area. But when a
story can't get hearing in the newspa-
pars, the chances are 100 to l that it is
fake. Our people should examine very
carefully any statement that is not back
ed by indisputable evidence and be very
cautious how they growl about govern
ment requirements. These are times to
sit tight.
