NOME, ALASKA, JULY 14, 1917.
A POOR JOKE.
Former Amnssndor Gerard deserves
a great deal of consideration for his
faithful and valuable services to tbc
United States during the period of his
official incumbency of the post of
American ambassador to Germany and
particularly during that period of un
happy circumstances attending his
last days residence in Berlin.
But, In spite of his great and valua
ble efforts as the official representa
tive of the government, and the
equally invaluable results thereof, we
cannot hut feel that he is deserving of
a. severe reprimand for some of the
remarks lie was thoughtless enough
to utter on his return to the United
States following the severance of re
lations between Berlin and Washing
ton.
One of the first things he did after
returning to his native land was to
open a tirade of abuse on Germany
and tho ways and methods of the
German government. Doubtless most
of his remarks were justified as far as
they pertained to the German govern
ment and Germany but when he un
dertook to add to the regretable bitter
ness of the occasion by advocating
the hanging of citizens of German de
scent to lamp posts In the event of
their not proving loyal to this coun
try we believe that he not only dis
played a woeful lack of good Judg
ment hut was also taking a light
minded view of the law which was not
at all becoming to a gentlemen of his
undoubted ability and worth.
Uegardlcss of who the man is, when
he offers such ?n observation as: “>Ve
know where to festoon” our citizens
of German descent when they do not
prove loyal he is guilty or something
more than a mere indiscretion. Ad
vocacy of lynch law Is reprehensible
on any oc.m.voi and the fact that he
covertly advocated that law against
I he citizens of a country with whom
we are at war does not in the slightest
degree relieve him of the stigma of
shame Justly due to one who counsels
a disregard of law and order.
Even in War time there is law—
probably even more than at other
limes. And there are laws especially
devised for the cases of alien enemies
or citizens of alien sympathies who
do not prove loyal.
There are also laws which take re
venge from out the hands of private
citizens and places It in the hands of
sworn public officials.
Mr Gerard, great stateman and am
bassador though he be has no license
to lynch an alien enemy, no matter
how much the Individual may be de-1
' 3
serving of such treatment. .,
The majority of German-Americans
have earned the right to courteous
treatment since we became involved in
the war.- Many have enlisted and
others have manfully made and an
nounced their decision to be wholly
loyal to their adopted country. As a
class they have been in no wise dis
tinguishable by reason of their be
havior from the citizens of this or
any other country. There have been
some of German descent who have j
connived at practices detrimental to !
the nation but as compared to the I
great mass of German born people In i
this country ttiey laro few Indeed. |
Taking them on the whole they have
proved excellent citizens even though
their hearts are naturally drawn to
the land of their birth In the midst of
her trials and afflictions
The majority of German born citi
zens have proven their right to de
cent and honorable treatment and he
who denies them even by no more
than word of mouth, the right to law
and Justice does an unholy and Inde
fensible thing.
Instead of fomenting hatred against
them by remarks calculated to arouse
the worst passions of humanity, it
were more fitting that we studied out
' ways to prove our friendship toward
them- We are at war with the land
of their nativity but not with them
and it 111 becomes us to do or say
anything that will arouse distrust or
dislike of them as long as they do not
abuse the hospitality offered. And W
they do the law should deal with them.
We can be sure that if our great
democracy is not capable of dealing
with disloyal German-Americans
lynch law will prove of little avail in
curing them of disloyal inclinations
or actions.
In Justice to Mr. Gerard we may
add that he perhaps intended his ill
advised remark as a joke but in any
event it was a decidedly poor joke.
