ROYAL ESTATES SAVED

Temporarily at least, the lands palaces and
castles of the former Kaiser and German prince
lave been saved from entire confiscation at the
hands of the present government of the German
Republic, through the failure to secure sufficient
popular votes for bill providing such confiscation
in referendum held June 20.
In order to pass the law it was necessary that
20000,00O votes in its favor should be cast while
the count showed only approximately 1889, 900
for the measure. Only about $4,000 voted against
the law, but this not particularly significant
owing to the peculiar provision that an affirmative
majority of all qualified votersF was required,
whether they voted or not a&
The result of the referendum does not mean
however, that the former rulers are to retain their
property intact. Many who did not vote for abso-
lutte confiscation are in favor of holding large
part of these lands and their appurtenances for
the public use. The next step will be to arrange
compromise measure, whereby the state will re-
tain part of these properties
Such measure would undoubtedly be just 1t
is unreasonable that the former rulers whose folly
brought such a calamity upon the German people,
should continue to fully enjoy the vast fortunes
accumulated at the expense of their former sub
iects AS manifesto of the Center Party puts it.

ment must be borne by the princes along with

AMERICAN EXPANSION

One hundred and fifty years ago on July
Fourth of this year, when the American republic
was born, and for quite number of years follow
ing that date, the idea commonly prevailed that
it was very doubtful if this country would ever ex
tend into the wilderness then existing west of the
Allegheny mountains.
great crisis came in the history of this
country, when the question arose whether we would
buy the territory known as Louisiana, which in
cluded most of the lands between the Mississippi
river and the Rocky Mountains except the state of
Texas
When this vast territory bought in the
administration of President Jefferson, for $751;
100000, perhaps the most important step toward
Americas greatness was taken. That vast terri
tory, including the rich states of Louisiana,
Arkansas Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, the two Da-
kotas Montana, and much of Wyoming Colorado
Kansas and Oklahoma, was obtained at a cost of
two and a half cents an acre.
1t had previously been doubted, even if the
vast territory of the central and western part Of
the country were ever populated by the white
race, whether it would be possible for one govern
ment to control so vast an extent 1t was an act
of superb faith when the old forefathers decided
that they were going to have this vast territory
and settle and colonize it.
If they had allowed this chance to obtain this
great domain to go by, it might quite likely have
grown up foreign country, wars might have oc-
Cured between those people and the original
United States, development would have been hin
dered, and our condition would be far inferior to
what it is today. The people owe an incalculable
debt the far sight of the founders of the nation
for their action on this question.
