MUST BE ON OUR A

AS the time approaches for the Germans to decide finally what
they are to do in regard to the peace terms submitted by the Allies, it
becomes more and more apparent that 1t is the same old Germany that
we have to deal with and that even after the treaty of peace is signed
no lone can tell how soon it will become a scrap Of paper as far as the
Germans are concerned.
While the Germans have gone through the form Of an election
and have outwardly chosen a President we do not hear any great en-
thusiasm about the new German republic. In fact, few realize that
tnere has beer any change In the German government at all, excepting
that the kaiser is temporary in exile. 1t is merely a mask worn for
the purpose of securing the best peace terms possible. Once old re-
lahons are resumed the mask will be torn off and the same old Ger.
many win be revealed.
Even now one of the terms O.. the peace treaty most strenuous.
ly opposed by Germany is the demand for the surrender Of the
Kaiser and others guilty of violating the accepted rules of war. To-
DAY dispatches from Berlin say that the Germans are getting ready
to invite the kaiser back to make his home in the Fstherland. which.
OF course, means that within a short time he will be back in his
castle listening to the "Hochs'' of the multitude and once more
schemipg against the peace of the world.
There is no limit to the German arrogance. Their whining
about being deceived by President Wilson and his fourteen points
their professed magnanimity in laying down their arms before they
were, in their opinion, actually licked. and all the other walls
we hear from them fall on deaf ears S far as the outside world is
concerned.
We are not unmindful of the way Germany filled our country.
when it was on the friendiest terms with the imperial government.
with spies and worked every intrigue known to kultur to wreck this
republic in the interest of Germany. We are not unmindful Of the
violation of the treaty concerning the neutrality of Belgium; the
Lustania with her horrible slaughter of women and children; the
treatment of the people in conquered territory early in the war
the starvation of prisoners and the wanton destruction of property
everywhere-al these things are so fresh in the minds of all of us
that We have no patience with the appeal to responsibility that the
German delegates are now making.
When We realize the chaotic state into which the whole world
has been thrown, all because of the ambition Of the German nation
we have a feeling that no punishment is too severe for those re-
sponsible for the war that caused it all. But after the terms are
accepted we must be continually on our guard against the cunning,
scheming Teuton behind our backs. The German nation has proven
itself absolutely untrustworthy and there Is nothing yet to show
that it is any more worthy now Of the confidence of decent, respect
able nations than it was before the war.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., May s1:-
Reports that China loses her historic

LOOKS LIKE RUNYON

Judging from the way politics are shaping at Trenton, 1T looks
more and more ST Acting Governor RunyOn would be the Republican
standard bearer in the gubernatorial election this fall. Being the
acting governor he has a decided advantage over any other candidate,
judging from the precedent whereby Governed Fielder became the
Democratic candidate several years ago. Governor Fielder was not
thought of seriously as a gubernatorial candidate until he became
acting governor, then nothing could be done to stop his nomination
But Acting Governor Runyon has more than the mere fact that
he is the present executive of the state to recommend him He has an
enviable record in the legislature. He has shown himself to be a cap
able, clearthinking man; he has convictions and is not afraid to
stand up and fight for them. No machine, clique or faction owns him
The leading candidate today on the Republican side is Newton A.
X. Bugbee, of Trenton, but in spite of the efforts of the party organic
ton in practically every county to arouse enthusiasm for Bugbee there
is no enthusiasm apparent. The party workers, let alone the rank and
file of the people, simply cannot warm up to him. That he is a high
class man there is no doubt, but every attempt to make him popular
with the people fails. The truth is, were it not for the Republican or
ganization pushing his candidacy continually Bugbee wouldn t be
considered in the running. E.
The only other candidate that has any definite backing is Com
missioner Raymond of Newark. Raymond apparently has the Essex
county crowd back of him, but outside of Essex he has hardly any
standing. He is considered the candidate of the Essex brewers, who
desire to dominate the state. With this handicap Raymond would
never get the Republican vote of the rest of the state. He is simply
impossible.
As for Warren c. King, whose candidacy was formally announced
in this city a short time ago, he is such a unknown quantity that he is
hardly to be considered. So far as can be ascertained his only back
ing is the enthusiasm of a few personal friends Even the manufac-
turers, among whom he is prominent, are not unanimous for him, by
any means.
Of course, there is Vice Chancellor Vivian M. Lewis, of Paterson,
and one or two other possibilities, but their names are mentioned
every time a governor is to be elected and without a definite declara-
lion from them they cannot be taken into account.
This brings us back to the acting governor who is we'll known,
popular and who measures up to the Job in every way. He has proven
himself to be a man in whom the people may well place their con-
fdenee. Add to this the prestige of his present position and it looks
as If he would be the logical candidate of the Republican party for
governor in the fall campaign.
1t Is true the acting governor has not yet made known his inten-
lions, as to the candidacy but he promises a statement shortly. The
fact that he has not positively declared himself out Of the running is
sufficient reason for believing that he will eventually be a candidate
