NEAR RIOT
Opposing Forces Clash at 10y
atty Meetlng--Arrests Made

Tuesday evening while Rudolph
Trosht and Father Mihelich were
addressing a gathering at the old
Catholic Church an opposition
force broke up the meeting by
heckling the speakers. shouting
and otherwise raising a disturbance.
While the pandemonium in which
everyone seemed to be talking at
once was at its height, some one
turned out the lights and almost
created a panic in the house filled
with men, women and children.
The police were called and plac-
ed Fred Wider. Matt Zgonc, John
Skerjanz and John Sheme under
arrest. 1t was claimed these men
were directly responsible for the
disturbance, egged on by others in
the background and who made
their getaway before being captur-
ed. 1t is claimed that others are
known and that arrests will follow
before. the affair is settled.
Stories of the doings are con-
ficting. One side claims that the
affair was not concerned with the
matter of loyalty to America but
was purely a matter of Slavonic
nationalism and concerned affairs
in Europe and not here. Others
again contend that the affair was
strictly American and had for its
base the making of better American
citizens.
The men placed under arrest
were later released upon the pay
ment of SIS cash. bail each by
Judge Schaeffer who set the hear
ing for next Wednesday, when it
is expected some head or tail to
the affair will be forthcoming.
The whole difficulty is the outcome
of the loyalty meeting held at the
Auditorium two weeks ago.
Considerable interest has been
aroused and it is claimed that
government agents will make a
thorough investigation.

ace ~of whose existence without
supervision and oversight be-
comes more alarming as time
passes. The state s present facil-
tiles are totally inadequate and
yet some temporary policy must
be worked out until the legisla-
ture at the coming session can
take action, which is imperative
ly needed. The county welfare
board will assist in making these
State Board Of Control in the es-
tablishment OF temporary RENE
dial measures.
The new laws require that
homes which seek to adopt child
rem must be visited and approved.
In the same way home that re.
ceives child for permanent care
without adoption must on invest.
igation prove to be a proper one
to receive the child. The welfare
board viii assist in making these
Investigations and will recon.
mend the proper action to be ia
ken.
The unmarried mother and the
illegitimate| child who are so
often in need of friendly assist
ance and care will find the wei.
fare board ready to help in every
possible way.
In general it may be said that
the child welfare board becomes
responsible within the county OF
its jurisdiction, for the protec.
ton Of children and the promo
tion Of their interests in all the
varied ways in which those in
terests may appear. The welfare
board serves without compensa
tion but it may have a paid exc
cutive agent if the approval o1

ers is Secured. Oftentimes in
other counties county nurse OF
other social worker in the county
has been chosen to do this work

FORBlDDINc NEGOTIATIONS

# Senator Poindexter had promised q resolution de-
clarins 1t to be the sense Of congress that there be no
negotiations with Germany until she had surrendered, 1t
might have had some point as a declaration Of sentiment.
But according to the reported text, the resolution pro.
poses that congress shall prohibit negotiations. = matter
which is clearly outside the Jurisdiction Of congress.
The constitution vests in congress authority to de-.
clare war. but it makes the president of the Unified States
omnnander-in-chie of the armies and navies Of the ma
ton And the president is specifically authorized. to re-
ceive ambassadors, which naturally implies the right to
carry on such negotiations as he may deem wise. Even
in the making Of treaties. congress. as a body, has noths
ing to say. Treaties are negotiated by the president, and
approved by the scnate-not. by congress.

A FALSE ACCUSATION REFUTED

Both Of these charges are refuted in a letter from
Mr.. Burtness. which is published elsewhere in this issue

denials Of facts that are within the knowledge Of the
whole world-that German troops have not committed
atrocities; that they have not destroyed property except
AZ : military necessity; that their naval forces have not
fired on boats filled with defenseless passengers.
It is idle to enter into Z discussion as to whether or
not these things are so. We know that they are 10, and
We have proof abundant. But the fact that these plain
truths are denied indicates that whatever changes may
have been made in the German government. that govern

people, then God help the German pedple.
