Fmnia Harrison hi been stayinsr at the home of Sherman Archer for the 1 rst few days. We did not learn whether she expects to take up her Norton again or not. We have said before and we wish to repeat that we do not think it is proper to uphold Germany for nny-ithing that she has done but it is also right nnd proper that justice be done far as possible even to fur very wt rst enemies.

Now, if it is just, to disarm completely a nation wlvr.h wo tiimk has causetl ull thiB tr able when her enemies are pushing their factories to the utmosit to put nut ns many instruments of death pos-fible, all good and well but that dies net look like justice to in. A'so if fie Allied nations vero not in th's war for conquest, then barring the crusades, this war is different than any war which this world hs ever witness, before. There is no question but that if Germany had won, the other nations cf Kurope would ha.ve fared hndly but it is also significant to note that it "Takes two dogs to Furthermore, ve have been ft I up on current dati by a paid and a held press so that when it comes to a good knowledge of thinrs, we do not know very much. We know for a certainly thnt the ttories that, the boys tell who have re-turned from Fun-ston do not corroborate very well with the statements in the pspors and as evposjie of the treatment of the thirty-fifth Kansas division does not look liko we wero the straight of things so you could notice it. As we huve said it is ralh'ir early to try to foreshadow questions which in all likelihood will be settled satisfactorily nt the peace ro'-fc retire.

However, the Allies are hiding "behind the big slvps nnd submarines which they say they require as an indemnity. If it is right to take any of Germany's land because of this war then why not take the colonies and possessions of the other nations who took them from their weaker sisters just because, they were stronger? We ask you in all candor, which is worse large standing rrirv or large sf.iidirg nre-v? We look upon Germany's perfectly organized military machine with repulsion but we never stem to think that Fngland has just as well enuiprtod machine dressed in different clothes and with which she imposes on the rations which she tb'nks wi'l "i'-t fo-ht.

Surely those who have been interned i.ro the most suspected of beind aiders nnd nbetlors of the kaiser's cause here. The kulser also told Am. (Jerarcl "after the war I will stand no nonsense 'from America." The ivtuTninn to Get man soil those who arc interned would not be done as a retaliation for pie deeds of the kaiser hut for our own national safety.

When it has keen clearly demonstrated that the (lerman-Americun society was doinpr everythinp; to work up- pro-Gorman sympathy and that many pro-German preachers were trvinic their best to make loyal German citizens horn in the United Stutes, there would seem to be no good reason for our loadinp; down our ship of state with those i cully proven to he for Germany. Not so Ioiik ajro in talking to a German, born in America about politics, he replied: "I never read' politics. Our preacher tells us how to vote. That's v.hat wo pay him for." And his preacher we know to be one of the lankest pro-Germans in that country, now is when some of our clean-iinf is to be done. We didn't send our ns to die the llindcnhurg line without having Btamlna onoutrh leli to knock pro-Germnnimn on the head when we see it raising its head in our own comnfimities.

Our contemporaries have sure been throwing mud at us to beat the bund and we smile nnd imagine that they think they are (tivinjr it to us in prand style. Now, when it comes to the preacher business, wo wish to say in behalf of ourselves that our brain was clear, eyes unscummed and our ears clean, so that we knew what we were talking about and as a matter of fact had our article inserted as we desired so that it brought exactly ithe desired result that we wished. So wo do not. feel that the luucrh is on us so very 'much after all. However, we wish to add that we are not averse to criticism so it matters little to us how much oHir eav'o it ti us.
