Pleasing Germany.

The boldness with which certain Republi-
can senators and representatives are engaged
in pleasing Germany as Attorney General
A. Mitchell Palmer has characterized it, is
astounding official Washington. In several in
stances the new-found friends of the Hun never
before raised their voices in his defense; while
! in other cases his American supporters were
pronounced pro-German before the United
States entered the war practically silent dur
ing American participation and now rampant
in doing. everything that will discredit this
country and exalt the conquered enemy.
Senator Knox's speech in the senate against
the treaty of peace and the League Of Nations
astonished Washington not because it de+
manded the death of the league, but that the
Pennsylvania spoke so bitterly of the hard
and cruel peace" that had been forced on Ger
many This coming from one of the leading
senators of a party thai had attempted to
make political capital by assuring the public
that President Wilson and the Democrats gen
orally intended letting Germany go without
punishment, seemed strange to those follow
ing national affairs closely.
The activities of the German sympathizers
in the United States senate have been made
plain by the futile attempt to prevent the con-
frmation of Attorney Genera! Palmer. Sena-
tor FreIinghuysen OF New Jersey was named
by Mr.. Palmer in a statement following his
almost unanimous confirmation by the senate,
as having been active in espousing the cause
of German firms whose property taken
over by the present attorney general when he
was alien property custodian Not only was
this senator pleasing Germany" according to
the attorney general, but he was officially men
toned and praised for this work in a state
ment given out by the German foreign office
recently.
Attorney General Palmer pointed out in
his statement that Senator Freling huysen is
president of a New York insurance company
which was the only one to attempt to block
the complete liquidation of German insurance
companies in this country. The attorney gen
eraI also asserted that Senator Frelinghuysen
was the only member of congress to appear be-
fore the senate committee in 1917 to influence
its conduct in framing the trading with the
enemy act. and that he requested the commit
tee to hear witness who urged that the enemy
insurance companies in the United States be
not interfered with.

Lieutenant General Jan Chris
tian SHUTS, who has been invited
to become premier of the South
African Union in succession to the
late General Botha, has a record
of past achievements in many di-
rections, as student, lawyer. SOL
der, and statesman, such as few
men can show. He is a native of
Cape Colony, and began the prac-
tice OF law in Johannesburg after
a brilliant career as a student at
Cambridge university. At the out
break of the South African war he
Joined the Boer forces and rose
to the supreme command in Cape
Colony. After the conclusion of
peace he played a most important
part in the work of reconstruction.
During the world war he rem
dered most valuable services to
the empire. first as General Botha s
able second in command of the
campaign in German southwest
Africa. and later as commander OF
the imperial forces in the East
African campaign In the latter
part of the war he was called to
England to serve as a member of
the imperial war cabinet

Speeding the Tourist.

Automobile tourists find it somewhat puz-
zIing to thread their way through Rock Is
land by following the existing marks and guide
books. The books are not so easily changed,
but better signs be placed in the streets
The matter is one which has been neglected
partly, no doubt, because this city is not on the
main transcontinentaI highways and misses
the heaviest travel, but even the traffic is
growing and something should be done to take
better care OF it.
The matter is comparatively simple. Trav-
ell through the city goes but three ways, to
Moline, Davenport, or south through Milan
few conspicuous street signs bearing concise
directions and arrows to point the way would
be sufficient Experience of the automobiles
who has Travelled strange roads will suggest
what they should contain and where they
should be placed.
One spot. especially which ought to be
marked, is the intersection of Seventh avenue
and Forty-sixth street, where travellers from
the east usually enter the city. AS it is they
often travel mile or more before discovering
that they are not still in Moline.
Let US mark our eastern boundary so that
he who runs may read.

Pharmacists are permitted to medicate
grain alcohol and sell it in small quantities for

drinking the stuff. A few instances have been

To be on the safe side it is well TO steer

when there is any doubt as to what ingre-

there is room for doubt. Woman's
credulity is certainly greater than
mans, although mans is some
thing immense.
A prime prolific factor OF pain
full functional troubles in young
women is the corset habit. Here,
again, woman's credulity, and the
absurd notion that she is weak
and needs a brace or something,
become detriments to her health
and physical perfection. So many
acknowledgement mothers not only
consent but actually insist upon
daughters adopting corsets at the
tender age. The day the corset is
adopted girlishness is lost and the
false dignity of the prim old maid
is put on. Physical training, real
play, thereafter is as impossible as
it is undignified in the eyes Of the
foolish. credulous, almanac-biased

l am the oldest of seven children

possible during spare hours.
But what is the use when l only
get snubbed? If | ask my sister
to go with me some place she will
refuse and answer in the most in
decent way.
am very fond OF music and am
studying voice with a teacher here
in town. This teacher tells me
have an unusual voice and encour-
ages me all the time, but when at
home my mother will only pick on
me, saying l practice too much and
tells me to quit my lessons, al
though l work all day long and
pay for the lessons myself.
Some people tell me l am aslucky
girl, but if they could only look
into my heart they would think
differently. Upon all these trou-
bles comes the one hardest to bear.
mere is young man f1ve or six
years older than myself, employed
in the same building l am. He is
married and has one boy. This
young man shows an interest in me
and is so intelligent whenever talk
ing to me. I love him with all my
heart. From the very first that I
saw him / knew that he was Just
the kind and only man | could
love.
He has told some other fellows
that he thinks very much of me.
A few times he has said that he
wishes to see me at a certain place
and would like to dance with me,
but l never would go. The other
night, however, / went to one and
the minute this man saw me he
came right over and asked politely
if he could dance with me. He
danced with me twice and during
the dance he pressed my hand.
I have never let him know that
care for him. My health will fail

Why cannot the railroads and the street

A Steel Steal.
ATLANTA Constitution

At a hearing soon to be held before the
federal trade commission in Washington a
determined effort is to be made to bring about
a radical readjustment of the freight rates on
steel.
AS matters now stand, and as they have
stood ever since the organization of the United
States Steel corporation, all steel prices
throughout the whole country are based upon
the price at Pittsburgh.
That is to say, any manufacturer Of steel
products, or products into which steel enters.
regardless Of his location, must pay for his
steel upon the basis of the cost of steel at
Pittsburgh plus the railroad freight rate from
Pittsburgh to his plant
The steel differential arbitrarily placed upon
the steel fabricatOrs in the Chicago district is
$40 a ton, because that is the freight rate
from Pittsburgh to Chicago, while practically
all of the steel manufactured at Pittsburgh is
made from Lake Superior ores. which are
mined only comparatively short distance from
Chicago.
In other words, Chicago pays for its steel
the cost of the ore, coal and limestone entering
into its manufacture, plus the cost of the per
ton transportation of the manufactured prod
the steel was never within 500 miles of Pitts
the steel was never within 500 miles of Pitts
burgh, for it is mined in Minnesota and milled
within few miles of Chicago!
Every community in the country suffers
from this situation in exact ratio with its dis
lance from Pittsburgh
The fabricators and other users of steel of
the west and middle west some time ago
launched vigorous protest against this rank
discrimination; and more recently those of
whole matter is coming up for hearing before
the federal trade commission in the very near
future and it is to be hoped that the decision
will mark the end Of it.
