Pleasing the Huns.

We see some talk in the news

terms we have imposed upon Ger
many for the sake of making them
more pleasing to Germany
Most of us have just about the
same notion of pleasing Germany
as we have about trying to please
a rattlesnake. And we are as
much inclined to start out now to
please the snake to make the snake
happy, as we are of doing the same
thing for the Huns, We know
iust how it would worry Germany
to try to please us If the tables
were turned and though we Fnow
what the Golden rule means we
fear that Germany does not. Ger
many says she wants the terms
changed so as to make them more
easily complied with, but by max
ing them more easily complied
with she only means that she
wants them more easy TO break.
The work ability of the terms is
not a consideration for Germany,
and we feel certain that il Germany
felt the Allins had blundered In
formulating the terms she would
be the last source from which to
expect objection.

HIGHWAY COMMISSION
NEEDED,

If congress can cease squab-
bling long enough to give atten-
tion to the Townsend bill, it will
do the country a great service.
This bill will create IA federal
highway commission and also
provides for the establishment of
national system of highways.
Certainly immediate action is de-
manded on the first proposition
and the sooner the second be-
comes effective the better off
every one will be. The demand
for the creation of a commission
and transferring to it all the
functions of the federal aid law
is now operating, has come from
those who have closely studied
the future development and use
of highways, and who realize that
this work has become so import
ant that it should no longer be
under the jurisdiction of subor-
dinate bureau of any government
department.

A JUST REBUKE.

When Cannon de Valera re-
buked those Chicago hoodlums
who Kissed President Wilson Sat
urday, he did the one thing above
all others that will gain friends
for the Irish cause in America.
While we believe, as Sir Edward
/ Carson SAYS, that we should at
tend to our own business and al
low England to deal with the
Irish question, it is only right and
proper to express admiration for
the head Of the Irish republic on
this occasion.
Ireland, as Sir Edward Carson
says, will be used by enemies of
England to stir up strife. 1t is
none Of our business, and we
rather incline to the belief that
members Of congress, when they
voted on the Irish question some
time ago made asses Of them
selves. OF course they were play
ing politics, but it was adding
fuel to the flames. The resolu-
tion was fathered by men who
are opposed to President Wilson s
policies and who are unable to
see anything good i'll what he
does.
But as President de Valera told
the Chicago hoodlums, he is our
president, and while we have the
right to criticize him, it is in bad
taste for us to do so in the pres
ence of strangers Miami News.
