George Sylvester Niereck's boast
that he can control 6,OOO,0OO Amefl-
can votes in the interest OF Germany
has been denied by letters from
twelve leading citizens Of Ieutonlc
extraction in Louisville, Ky, TO the
jefferson Post OF the American Legion
in that city. The letters, together
with a resolution c%ondemnlng \lereck
as an advocate of un-AmerIcan prln-
ciples, have been made public by the
Post. Louisville Legionnalres Will
hold an All-American meeting on Dec
Grafton Day, May 3Oth.-Amerlcan Le-
gion.
Americans Of Teutonic extraction
have denied Viereck's boast, but a
count of the ballots at last Novem-
ber's election proves Nierecks boast
to be true, and nothing is being done
by the Administration to back up and
finish what the American Legion
fought for in France, by making Ger
many pay for damages. 1t is time for
the Legion to put on their thinking
CAPS and learn when the war will be
ended BY making Germany pay, which
will take a generation and not desert
ing our Allies as has been done the
two past years, because OF partisan
chagrin.

German Propaganda

German propaganda goes on IN
meetings not published in the news
papers. The Irish Sim telnn meet
ings which are auxiliary to the Ger
man propagandas are held IN big
cities.
Another German propaganda Is to
sell German money, the unit OF Whlch
is called marks. In normal times the
mark is worth 23.S cents. Now they
are worth about Is cents. The great
financial interests under German prop
aganda are e~ndeavoring to get Amerl-
can citizens to invest their money IN
German marks with a promise that
they will become more valuable. by
that mean they expect to make the
investor a German adherent and prop
agandist, because where a mans
pocket nerve is there in his head.
If YOU want to invest IN foreign
money buy something of more value.
The British sovereign is normally
worth S4.S7. 1t is now worth $500.
The French franc, normally worth
1913 cents, is now worth IA cents. Inc
Italian Ira, normally worth l9.3 cents,
is now worth 4.84 cents.
If YOU want foreign money invest IN
worth something. The Ger
mans have been such internal liars you
may never get back what little you
invest in marks even at small values.
The motive back of the German
mark propaganda is to get Americans
interested in Germany and enemies OF
the Allies so that Germany VIII not
have to pay the billions imposed by the
Peace Commissioners, who have al
ready been deserted by the Admin
i~stratiOn.
The reason German marks are so
cheap is because their printing presses
have run day and night and made so
many scraps of paper of promises 10
nav that they want to get rid OF them
for good L. S. money. When a change
of administration comes IN q rev
wears these scraps Of paper may be
repudiated, like other German prom
ises have been. The gullible Amefl-
cans will be holding German scraps
of paper and the Germans will have
millions gulled out of the people IN
other countries to pay their war dept
Then they will have collected an IN
demnity the same as if they a won
the war which they are now dong by
controlling L. S. politics.
Beware of the enemys promises TO
nav. Germany is refusing to pay rep
aration. The Huns have never re-
pented and are not to be trusted. lhey
understand only a club.

Our President Progressing

Our President is making progress.
He began his office by taking his oath
on the Bible on which George Wash
ington took his oath as if there was
more virtue in that than in another,
and with some sentiments from
George Washington's farewell address,
which was timely 1874 years ago.
Last week he made a speech in
New York City at the dedication Of a
monument to Simon Bolivar, the
George Washington of South Amer
lea, in which he eXtolled the Monroe
Doctrine, warning foreign nations to
keep political claims off the Western
Hemisphere. About the same time he
put in a claim for the little isle of zap
in the Pacific ocean which has been
under the rule of Japan since it was
taken in 1917 from Germany who held
it for a dozen OF years with no
protest. The Monroe Doctrine was
proclaimed by President James Monroe
in 1923. SO you see that was "a years
progress after Washington's inaugu-
ration.
President Harding may look over
the White House grounds to the
square beyond and view President
Andrew Jackson on his "rockine
horse" a bronze statue of a horse
standing. on its hind legs, the only
statue in America of a horse standing
thus, and read the engraving on the
base, "The Federal Union: 1t Mus
and Shall be Preserved"
In 1880 South Carolina threatened
to nullify the U. S. tariff law anC
secede from the Union. At a Jeffer
son birthday dinner that year Presi
dent Jackson gave a toast, which was
the above sentiment. Jackson was {
Democrat like Monroe. That senti
ment became the slogan of the Repub
lican party and also Democrats in the
Civil War, with Abraham Lincoln
President.
When President Harding makes hi.
Memorial Day address he will prog
ress seven years more to Andrew
Jackson. He is progressing and vii
catch up with Wilson if given time
enough, as on zap.

The National Budget System

Congress has become active for a
budget system in receipts and eXpend-
lures. a bill was passed on tuesday
by the Senate. 1t provides for an
other retinue of officers the directors
of whom will get $4,000 a year. 1t
was proposed to give the assistant
director of the budget $4,000 a year,
when Senator Harrison, Of Mississippi,
offered an amendment to reduce 1t to
1000, saying he was sure some long,
lean, lank, hungry Republican would
accept the office at that salary. his
amendment prevailed. The purpose Is
to get a system to reduce government
expenses by increasing offices and
salaries.
Those who have political memories
will recall that when Walter f. Edge
ran for Governor his platform was
that he would consolidate certain
offices and have a budget system to
reduce expenses. He was elected by
a big majority and the budget system
was put thru.
In a few days you will get your tax
bill. 1t will be interesting to note that
there is a State tax besides a State
school tax which has been levied for
many years with which to pay the sal
aries of school teachers.
From the time of Gov. Leon Albeit
in 1887 until Gov. Edges rule the
people never had a State tax. Since
Gov. Edges election as Governor an
economy and budget system has hit
every taxpayer in the State every
year. When you get your tax bill
study it closely. 1t is worth thinking
about-the State tax.

Lobbyists Returned

Former Vice President Thomas R.
Marshall, in a published interview, de-
clares lobbying practices in the Ma
tional Capitol to be a sinister evil in
the life of the republic. Mr.. Marshall,
speaking from observations made dur
ing the eight years he presided over
the Senate, declares fabulous sums
are offered at times to men of high
standing in an effort to induce them to
represent interests seeking legislation
from a selfish standpoint.
Woodrow Wilson while President
gave a public illumination against
lobbyists and they fled from the Capt.
toll. Then it was said there was too
much government in business.
Now nineteen large business inter
ests have headquarters in Washing
ton with their lobbyists, according to
Senator Lafollette. More business in
the government is the policy now.

FAITH
Raymond Wells Nelson

Raymond Wells Nelson
You must have faith in whatever you
do,
If you would expect to come thru;
For without faith it is no use to wait,
And to your dreams may as well bid
adieu.
You'll never reach the top of the steep
hilly grade,
For thru the thickness you cannot
wade,
For faith is the power, and without it
you cannot tower,
And the height in the far cannot be
made.

Don't think just of the gold you crave,
And that it's all you care,
For there are other things more

Far extending beyond compare;
Just think of all the joy you'd have,
The goodly times you'd know,
Assisting your fellowmen to laugh
Lessening their depressing woe;
How much p%leasanter this old world
would seem,
Helping each brother in need,
This universe would be exceedingly
happier | deem
If only we people knew less greed.
