GET RID OF KITCHIN!
Briggs
[From the New York SUM-

lr rom the new Ork sun.
The last man in Congress who
ever ought to have been chairman
OF the ways and means committee
of the House of Representatives is
Claude Kitchin. In time of peace,
to place at the head of that COM
mittee, SO deeply and powerfully in
volved in the Industrial lot of the
American people, man of such
limited intelligence. of such econo-
mic ignorance, was folly and mis-
chief.
With Republican House, Presi-
dent Wilson should still have the
votes to support his conduct of the
war, and they would be intelligent
votes. They would be sound votes.
They would be competent votes.
But when the American voters
had overturned the Democratic ma
1ority in the House, which created
kitchin, the prime revenue for the
country, and which remains re-
sponsible for him, then, as chair
man OF the ways and means COM
mittee, as figure of national promi-
nence, as a member of Congress
IN the very. least degree noticeable,
kitchin would disappear as COM
pletely as If dropped through a
trapdoor into the cellar of the Capt.
toll
Get rid OF Kitchin!

GERMANY is LICKED

No higher tribute could be paid
co the fighting qualities of the
French army. says a war corre-
spondent, than the speech of a dy-
ing Prussian captain, who asked his
captors IL he might be allowed to
speak to one of their officers. A
lieutenant belonging to a famous
Colonial division came up. and the
wounded man, propping himself
painfully on his elbow. gasped in
good French:
"I know we are enemies. but as a
professional soldier. want to tell
you 1 have never seen anything finer
than the conduct of your men. Un-
fortunately for us. you will be in
Germany before Christmas, but
just the same want to congratulate
you. VIII you shake hands with me
before I die2"

NONE TO SAVE

@ONGRESS might be better en-
gagged than in debating a con-
tinuation of the daylight saw
ing" law during the winter months.
The advantages of such a decision
would be doubtful, indeed. If the
clock is permitted to stand as it
is, one hour ahead of the sun. dur
ing the short days of the year sun
up will come somewhere along
about $40 in the morning, instead
of 7.30, or thereabouts. Thus, even
for store employees who go to work
now at 8 o'clock instead of s. break
fast would be eaten by artificial
light, while little if any gas. oil or
electricity would be saved at the
other end of the day. One can't
save daylight either morning or
evening if there is none to be saved.
1t is easy enough to get up an
hour early in the good old sum-
mer time" but, as Harry Lauder has
put it
when the snow is snowin',
And it's murky overhead,
oh. it's nice to get up in the mornin',
But it's nicer to lie in your bed.
The law is good as it stands. It
shouldn't be spoiled by overriding
its benefits.

Editors Hear NOrthcliffe

London.-Entertaini a party of
American editors at luncheon at the
Times offices, Lord Northcliffe. toast
ing the American visitors, said:
In America last year we won-
dered at the strange phenomenon OF
the rising young men of that ma
ton, many resident thousand miles
from the sea, being drawn by some
mysterious instinct to leave their
prosperous careers to come across
the Atlantic. Their crusade was
one of the great miracles of the
world.
Public opinion had become unan-
imous in America, not because they
had anything to get out of the war.
but because of the overwhelming
instinct to rise to the cause Of JUS
tice."
I'VE never use the word for
eigner' in regard to Americans in
this country" Lord Northcliffe
added. I'VE regard you as our
selves"
DIR. Edward ]. Wheeler of New
York replied to the toast. and F. p.
Glass of Birmingham, Ala, a men,
ber of a second. party of editors. de-
scribing his voyage across the At
lantic. said:
The fear among the 1900 Amer
lean troops aboard our ship was that
the war might be finished before
they arrived in France"

THE PEOPLES FORUM

coins speeches in which he reprov-
ed the white slave-owners, who held
they might justly enslave negroes
because thelr own was the fairer
race. Lincoln warned that. by the
same token, each one of them might
be justly enslaved the moment he
met someone fairer than himself.
Now, we are told that the Germans,
in respect to color, are the white
race par excellence, being direct de-
scendents of the Aryans. who came
from Asia into Europe during the
early migratory period. But is not
every red -blooded white man in
America to-day in arms against
German aggression and domination?
Superiority is something hard to
establish. A man shows his super
iority over another by his good
deeds and not by constantly remind
ing him of his inferiority. Our, So
called race problems are merely the
problems caused by our own anti
ipathies. Unless Dickinson puts an
high appraisal upon mon
etary values, unless she wants to en-
phasize gain rather than service,
she does not have to suffer embar-
rassment at the hands of her South
ern students. A democratic or cos
mopolitan school seldom wants for
students or for funds. Therefore, 1t
would be advantageous for her TO
reject Southern patronage unless she
felt sure that the Southerners could
be nodded into a progressivef God
fearing type of citizenship.
Southerners are pouring into Har-
ward in increasingly large numbers,
but they have not in the least dis
turbed the staid policy of this in
stitution. In Harvard "a mans a
man for a that, irrespective of his
race, color, or creed. All have equal
opportunities to learn together. In
fact, Harvard men live together. and
thereby learn to know each other
in a way impossible under any other
circumstances. The Southerner ap-
pears very awkward at first. but
soon adjusts himself to the demo
cratic conditions imposed upon him;
and to his own surprise becomes
mixer. Some of the most ar
dent admirers that the colored stu
dents at Harvard have. are found
among the white students who come
from the heart of the "Black Belt
Now, why are these conditions possf-
BILE? Because Harvard believes that
our blood is one with humanitys s
She would not lower her standards
or ideals for anyone. Every stu
dent must toe the mark or get out.
In conclusion. let me reiterate thai
race prejudice is largely the result
of persistent ignorance. 1t thrives
as long as there is no means OF
intellectual intercourse between race:
and no common religion. But mod
ern civilization has made both oi
these things possible, and it is quite
essential that we keep these chan.
nels of communication free and un.
obstructed: For, after all. there i:
no race" problems, there is only

'Penrose's Career
Watched in China

In a letter from Shanghai, China
to the Bellefonte Keystone Gazette
Frank e. Bible. former editor OF
the Center Democrat. and now
teaching English in the Baptist Col
lege. Shanghai, says:
II read with considerable inter-
est the Harrisburg Telegraph's quo
tation from the proceedings of the
Northampton Republican commit
tee, and its tribute to Senator Pen
rose.
II have watched Senator Pen
roses career from the time he first
entered political life, sometimes as
a Democrat, sometimes as Repub-
lican, and again as an utterly dis
interested and consequently fair OBJ
server. His career is interesting aside
from the broad statesmanship which
has characterized 1t, in the fact
that he has been the best damned
Quay's time, and in all his thirty
three years of political life, the only
charge made by his enemies both in
and out of his party, that ever stuck
was that of Boss" which is but a
vulgar substitute for leader.
You would be surprised to know
that away out here twelve or thir-
teen thousand miles from his home,
the Senator is known to some as
Boss Penrose, and with real good
people a boss is just short of the
Devil, lacking horns, hoofs and a
tail. Several times have had occa-
sion to set people right on the Sena-
tore by reviewing his record, and
have gotten O frank admission from
my auditors of their utter ignorance
of the man and his work. Their
misinformation is, of course, deriv-
ed from your own vile profession.
l remember. just before leaving
home. when the question of the cleo
ton of senators by popular vote was

company, that If 1t came to a popu-
lar election, Boise Penrose would be
swamped in Pennsylvania to the
tune of at least three hundred thou

Then away out here years later
read that he had carried his state by
think something so big that the fig
ures have escaped me. One loses
interest in a walk over con-
cluded that prominent politicians
often have better hindsight than
foresight.
Il hope I have said nothing in
reference to the Senior Pennsylva-
mia Senator that will meet with the
| disapproval of a Democratic or
Progressive Republican censor. 1
| am at least not asking or expecting
| political favors.
Il am proud of him as q Penn
sylvanian, as think every unpreju-
diced citizen of his state should be.
You know out here we are to all
foreigners, Americans. Among our
serves we are both Americans and
Pennsylvanians, Virginians, etc. And
each stands up for the honor of his
state and the reputation of her pub
lie men when unjustly assailed. Our
state pride seems to be more pro-
it."

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER
is the answer of the people OF
America to the latest German
peace note.
Fight it out now" is the essence
of American thought, and to that
end the people of this country-and
of all allied countries-are willing
to continue their sacrifices of blood
and treasure.
There must be no negotiations, no
haggling, no opportunity for Hun
trickery. If Germany wants an
armistice, the way to get it is to
lay down her arms, admit complete
defeat and throw herself on the
mercy of the Allies.
1t is a preposterous thought that
President Wilson should enter into
discussion with a government that
cannot speak the truth. 1t is un-
thinkable that he should debate
terms of peace with power that
even at the moment is laying waste
with fire and sword the country
through which its armies are re-
treating. We cannot make peace
with this beast until we have broken
its neck.
The Presidents inquiries as to the
meaning of Prince MaX's note were
all very well, as intended to show
up the new" German government
before the world as a double-dealer
and an imposter, and to divide Ger
man opinion at home, but it is be-
yond thought that, having succeeded
in his purposes, the President him.
self should fall victim to the trick
cry he has exposed.
America will never consent to a
peace that does not include restora-
ton and reparation for German dev-
iltry in invaded countries and on the
high seas, heavy indemnities, guar
antees and an international court
martial for the investigation and
punishment of every German of high
or low degree, from the Kaiser

of which they have been guilty. We
must not-and will not-compro-

country. We must not disappoint

A PRINCE OF DEVILS

VT1E are hearing lot at this
Wv time of the new day" in
Germany, of the "liberalizing"
of the German government. and a
lot of twaddle of the kind designed
to lead gullible souls to the belief
that the people of that benighted
country are at last coming into their
own and taking over the ruling
power so long held by the Hohen-
zollerns and their ilk.
But the Reichstag is still the same
old talkative, helpless Reichstag
which a few months before the
Kaiser annexed the Russian prov
faces passed it's famous resolution
for peace without annexations or
1t is the same old
that was designed by Bis
marck as a debating society in which
of the people-but
not all the people, equally and alike
talk their heads off. while
the power for action, change or re-
form remained solely in the hands
of the Kaiser. 1t is still a talking
that is about all.
It has no power over the Kaiser
or his cabinet. The German min
listers laugh in the face of the Reich
stag and the Reichstag in return
can only rage impotently. The min
constitute the govern
ment-are responsible only to the
Kaiser who appoints them and re-
moves them. Thus the whole gov
ernment of Germany resolves around
the Kaiser and is the creature of
his whims and policies.
Let nobody be deceived. The
Kaiser is still boss. He is still the
power with which we must deal in
Germany, and his is the power of
hell. We are dealing with a Prince
of Devils and his cunning is sur
passed only by his cruelty. He is
trying to fool us that he may de-
stroy US.

Unfortunately. it is not always
possible to ferret out men of this

country. They will look their mis-
erably small accumulation of bonds
over and know that they did just a
little as possible to save the world
from kaiserism. They are like the
soldier who thought he had per-
formed his duty when he had shot
one foeman, the fellow who quit in
the middle of the battle because
he thought the enemy was almost
beaten. They are the half-hearted.
yefiow-streaked men who place their
fat purses before their country and

Socialism and KdiSerisLn
IFrom the N. Y. Commercial'

IFrom the N. Y. Commercial
Socialists in Germany, Russia,
America and other countries are do
ing their Kaiser's dirty work. Under
the guise of friends of freedom thew
are striving to rivet the shackles of
autocracy and Prussian militarism
upon the free peoples of the world.
Their leaders work for blood money,
and their activities are measured by
the cash they receive from the Beast
of Berlin.
In America vast corruption fund
was raised by the German ambas-
sador through the sale of bonds and
notes countersigned or endorsed by
himself, of which at least fifteen mil
lion dollars have been traced by
American secret service agents.
Some parts of this fund Is still in
the hands of the Kaiser's secret
agents in the United States, and this
money is forthcoming to pay the
costs of German and pacifist propa-
ganda and to assist more or less
openly in electing socialists to Con-
gress. Processing socialists are not
spending much money. They get it
somewhere and do not give it away,
but from some secret source any
enemy of the country can draw all
the money required to pay promi-
nent and high-priced lawyers when
he Is brought to book.
In Russia the Red Terror is the
work of German hirelings. AS COM
pared with 1T, the French Revolu-
ton was love feast. LouisXVI and
Marie Antoinette were executed after
a trial which was unfair but which
presented the outward form of a ju-
dicial proceeding. The Red Terror
lists OF Russia murdered the former
Car and his heir in cold blood. and
1t is believed that they burned the
Czarina and her daughters to death.
They have slaughtered more inno-
cents in two days than were put to
death during the Terror in France.
NO protests against these outrages
IN Russia have come from the So
cialists of New York City, or at least
from those who control that faction
or who now support it's candidates
for public office. On the contrary.
they profess to admire Lenine and
Trotsky, and many of them knew
the latter personally when he was
living in this city. 1t is the duty of
every citizen with vote in the Con-
gressional districts where Socialists
are candidates at the coming Con-
know that Bolsheviki are looked
upon as pariahs by all true Ameri-
cans and that we regard with horror
the crimes committed by their class
in Russia. One of their candidates
for Congress now stands charged
with violating the Espionage Act.
Debs. five times Socialist candidate
for the presidency, has been convict
ed or such a crime. Socialism stands
revealed as the enemy of the plain
people and the subsidized supporter
Of Kaiserism.

No. a thousand times no! These
