Learning the German Language.

Among other things done since the
war broke out, designed to express
LOYALTY to this country and hostility to
Germany, is a general elimination of the
study of the German language III public
and private schools. Yet there rs reason
to doubt the propricty of this move.
Germany, while she surely will be beaten
in this war, will not bc destroyed The
German people will continue, so will the

trade and otherwise, with other nations.
knowledge Of the German language,
therefore, may not come amiss in
many ways in the future
Writing on this subject, Mr.. + W.
Vile, for years correspondent OF the
London Daily Mail, says that while in
Berlin he noticed that most Of the official
and educated classes spoke English
fucntly lie was somewhat puzzled and
inquired Of high official the reason.
The reply was "1ou see. when YOU
learn countrys language you acquire

many KEYS 10 Germany in circulation.
The less German you English and Amcri-
cans know, the less You'll know about
Germany. We specialize in learning
English and French, because NC realize
the value Of language keys.
So there may bc something practical,

German language III this country, rs we'll

silence since President Wilson asked

And the remark Is a reminder to most
OF us that we have in fact heard very
little of the Vice-President during the
last several years In this respect as III
most others, Mr.. Marshall seems to have
come very close to he popular concep-
tion Of what the Vice-President ought TO
be. His silence has not cost him the
admiration Of the American people 1t
has not been construed to mean that he
has nothing to say; that is, that he is
not an observant man and a thinker.
He is known by his record in public
to be both But he has displayed a
fine sense of the fitness of things Evi-

particularly necessary to the proper
discharge Of the duties to which he had
been assigned, he has carefully refraincd

possibly be used to the embarrassment

PRESS COMMENT.
TRYING TO FORCE IT DOWN.

Neither of the great political parties
in New York has ever declared Itseli IN
favor of nationwide prohibition or any
other kind of prohibition.
The question has never been submitted
to the people of this State or to the people
in any section of this State. Neither
the governor nor any other State official
Mt Albany was elected on any issue OF
Prohibition, for or against. Not single
State Senator, not n single Assembly
man, WAS elected on such an issue.
The people of New York have never
expressed their opinion ut the polls In
regard to prohibition. There Is nobody
in office or out of office who can claim
to represent them or speak for them
In the circumstances, nothing more
impudcnt and shameless has happened
in the history of New York than the
concerted movement led by the paid
LOBBYISTS of the Anti-Saloon League to
prevent an expression of the popular will.
There has been erected in Albany a
dictatorship, apparently with unlimited
financial resources, which is trying to
institute reign of terror in the Legls-
lature and to deny to 1000, 900 voters
any right to express an opinion ON n qiies-
tion which affects the daily lives and daily
liberties of the entire population of the
United States and which involves IA
political revolution in respect to the rela-
tions of the people and the Federal gov
ernmcnt 1t seems inconccivable that
there should be a single member of the
Legislature, honestly believing in free
government and free institutions. who
would hesitate for minute about sub
mitting this issue to referendum.
Nobody can be nominated for governor
or for State Senator or for Assemblyman
without vote of the people taken at II

by prescribed number of voters Gov
ernor Whitman poses rs the great cham
pion of this primary. vet he is also counted
