Has Germany Won?
(Contributed)

(Contributed)
Germany won the war after all
as far as we are concerned. The
Kaiser and his war lords are reJolc-
ing at our disgrace and planning
doubtless, within ten years to again
cover the world in blood in the hope
of regaining her prestige, for, after
all, outside of her men, who will grow
up again, she has lost little else.
Germany will now repudiate the IN
IDENTITIES charged up against her, ana
with the men and women there all
working to recoup and get revenge
while the rest of world is striking,
loafing and spending money r1otousiy
and lavishly, the German government
will soon be ready to try again, ana
the chances are next time she Will
win.
This country is deporting Bolshe-
visits. I. w. WIS and such cattle.
WHY not deport few United States
Senators of the Shields and Gore
tvne at the same time? These men,
elected as Democrats have insulteo
their president, repudiated their party
and have disgraced the American SOL
diers now lying in Flanders fields. IN
diving. these brave soldiers doubtless
thought that they were suffering te
keen others from having to shed tnel'
blood and lose their lives as sacrl
flee to the god of war. However, be-
cause of the act of few wilful mer
who place politics above patriotism
and the spoils of Office above tn
blood and sacrifice of the great ant
glorious heroic dead, the war, a
far as we are concerned, was fough
in vain. ~,
What nation, especially our aliles
i will ever place confidence IN the "or'
Of America again? We are disgrace
in the eyes of the world, and no pun
;sbment is too severe for the men WIN
have placed us in that position
J Our soldiers died in vain, our grea
president wrecked his health in valr
all because we have in United State
Senate men who are worse enemie
: to this government than German
! ever was.

PRETTY TRIBUTE
TOSOl)THERNERS
The Late Senator H0ar Said The Sou
thern Gentleman Was Not A Peer
Only, But A Prince.

Senator Hoar was New Englander
to the manner born, and no one could
have profounder respect for the old
fashioned New Englander thar. we
have. New England was the birth
place of American literature. There
is not cultured Southerner today
who does not admire and read and
study the works of Emerson, Longfel-
low, Holmes, Bryant, Thoreau, Whit
tier, Hawthorne and Lowell. These
were all Americans, and as such we
admire them. Consequently all Sou
therners will feel gra.ef,t. % the late
Senator Hoar WHEN tnes5 s54read the fol-,
lowing tribute fro mhis to the men of
the South:
"They have some qualities which l
can not claim in an equal degree for
people among whom I myself dwell.
They have an aptness- for command,
which makes the Southern gentleman,
wherever he goes, not peer only,
but a prince. They have love for
home; they have, the best of them,
and the most of them, inherited from
the great race from which they came
the sense of duty and the instinct OF
honor, as no other people on the face
of the cath. They have above all, and
giving value to all, that supreme and
superb constancy which, without re-
gard to personal ambition, and with
out yielding to the temptation OF
wealth, without getting tired, and
without getting diverted, can pursue
a great object, in and out, year after
year, and generation after genera
| tion.'
After all we are one people. South
erners until recent years have devot-
ed themselves more to statecraft than
to literature. The declaration OF IN
dependence and the outline of the con.
stitution were the work of Southern
ers. Every policy in our politics was
first broached by a Southerner. JET
ferson enunciated the essence of civ
il service reform. Monroe first pro-
claimed the doctrine that bears his
name. Henry Clay was the father o.
the American system and of the Re
publican party. Free trade is Sou
thern doctrine. Abraham Lincoln wa
born in Kentucky, and so it goes. II
recent years the books that have con
sistently sold the best were those o
Thomas Nelson Page, James Lane Al
len, Miss Murfree, Alice Hogan Rice
Mary johnson, Joel Chandler Harris
|. Miss Elliott and others Mr.. Churchill
is at least half Southerner.
Senator Hoar is right. The genlu
of the country lies largely in tn
!, South, and the people of this sectio
will yet come into their own.-E1

pubic is uneasy from apprehension
that Great Britain, like the United
states may have to face a coal min
er S strike at a time when coal is a
vital necessity.
.Ihg Miners Federation of Great
Britain, an organization of 975,00O
members, obtained pledge from the
$3.50 900 unionized laborers repre-
sented at the Trade Unions Congress
Mt Glasgow in September to stake
whatever action may be necessary to
compel the government" to accept the
miners demands for naturalization
of the industry in which they are en-
ployed.
An initial attempt to win govern
mental approval of the project, the
sending of trades union deputation
to consult with the Premier, has fail

Bowerman and others who are reck-

Meanwhile the miners campaign OF
propaganda to educate" the public In
the school of industrial nationailza-
tion-an attempt to show that state
control and Joint operation of the coal
mines would be a paying PROPOSE
tion" to the state, the consumer ana
the miner-has been launched. Along
with II the miners are making anoth-
er strong bid for popularity IN a
campaign against high prices. Ihey
aver that they would welcome
smashing of the vicious circle" OF high
prices and high wages and thereby
improve the standard Of living by re-
aucinp the cost. This agitation, 1t is
conceded, cannot but have fav' fable
reaction of public opinion Of benefit
to the miners.
An increased output of coal Is
third point which the miners are at
tempting to turn to their credit.
The most conservative labor leaders
have long advocated this attitude OF
"sweet reasonableness,' as one OF
them has spoken of it. They conteno
that the labor movement as wnole
would profit more permanently py

preference of constitutional efforts te
