Germany must be rebuked for her acts of
terror and spoilation, said President Wilson in
the first address ever made by an American
president on foreign soil. Looks like Mr.. VIII
son was preparing to roll up his sleeves, as
sumo a fierce expression and then-slap Ger
many on the wrist.

hundreds of millions of workers, industrious
and frugal beyond all comparison with western
states, has created no wealth and that her labor
ers toll for twelve cents day and her crafts
men for eighteen.
Evidently the new order on earth is not to
be built upon socialistic theories but rather on
the juster principles laid down by thinking men,
fair-minded, open-minded, like those who made
the reconstruction congress a notable event.

TODAYS BIT OF VERSE
o v OF COUNTRY.

Breathes there a man with soul SO dead,
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?'
Whose heart has neer within him burned
AS home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand?
If such there breathe, go mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell!
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch concentrated all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored and unsung.
Sir Walter Scot

The fact. that Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo has acquired by rental for a long term
one of the most magnificent homes in Los
Angeles does not run along parallel lines with
his. statement that he is too poor to retain his
cabinet position at the wage the government
pays. However, in the view of some persons
poverty is comparative, not actual.
