WE WILL HAVE TO DRAW THE LINES TOGETHER.
Familiar as we are becoming with tiendishness, as the
Huns teach and practice it upon the peoples ot the coun
tries they occupy, we cannot hut grasp when we read of
plotting it) poison bandages prepared in this country, for
wounded soldiers, by the Red Cross. Though the worst,
this is but one of a number of malignancies which show
that all enemies look alike to the Hun, and he would de
stroy them all, armed and unarmed, active and inactive;
*
the innocent, the helpless, the wounded, in one general ca
tastrophe of diabolism if he but had the satanic genius to
devise it. * *
There are those inclined to think that we need be but
little concerned over Hun malevolence in this country;
that we need have no great fear of damage from Hun
craft and cunning. In support of this opinion we are re
minded that there has been no widespread violence and de
structiveness which would indicate Hun organization
and direction. But every now and again something hap
pens to convince us we should not be too credulous on this
score.
It may have served the Hun purpose to make haste
slowly with the propaganda of espionage and sedition. It
takes time to perfect organization under war conditions,
and in the Hun view that time may now have ripened. In
our own behalf we should take the benefit of the doubt
and draw the line tighter.
In this connection there is a duty for every individual
citizen to consider and act upon. \\ hen disloyalty is en
countered report it. Let the department of justice have
knowledge of the people who by their talk and more es
pecially by their actions show sympathy with the Hun
cause. Let every citizen, so far as opportunity affords,
be the eyes and ears of the government. It is the only
way to deal with an enemy who knows neither honor nor
mercv.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
If congress heeds the plain demands of the people
there will he no more haphazard tinkering with the tariff.
Instead, the schedules will he prepared from data furnish
ed by a commission of specialists who have had opportun
ity examine ail the facts. The tariff commission, of
which little has been heard since the campaign of last year
has been diligently delving into the subject and will have
a lot of information to lay before congress when the war
*s over. I ntil peace is established it is unlikely that any
attempt will lx1 made to revise the schedules.
As a direct result of. the war. the United States will
have many new industries which must be considered in the
catagory of “infant industries,” so well known to the tar
iff orators of other days. Notable among these is the
manufacture of chemicals, which has been established here
through necessity since the supply from Germany has
l>een cut off. Not only are the chemical manufacturers of
the United States producing certain kinds of dyes in suf
ficient quantities to supply the local markets, but they
have entered foreign markets formerly controlled exclu
sively by Germany. It would be a shortsighted policy in
deed which would permit German competition in the home
markets after the war. It is a subject to which the tariff
commission has given much thought and it is almost cer
tain that the "tariff for revenue only” advocates will come
around to the protective tariff idea.
Through the use of government subsidies, Germany
has been able to stifle competition in the world’s markets
in many lines of endeavor. The war has brought some
wisdom to America. No longer is there opposition to com
binations for the purpose of selling manufactured articles
or commodities abroad. Hereafter American producers
may be permitted to combine in order to compete with for
eigners in the world’s markets. It is a big step forward i
and the results should be helpful.
When the war is over there is certain to be an econom
ic fight. In the dye industry and in the manufacture of
other coal tar products Germany stills sees a chance to re
gain the lost trade. The various chemical manufacturers
i of Germany already have pooled their interests and are
planning to wage a brisk fight. The longer the war con
tinues, the smaller chance Germany has of getting back
what it has lost. Only foolish policy in administering the1
affairs of our government will destroy what has been
built up since the war began.—(Seattle P-I).
CITIZENSHIP.
Have women the right to a permanent patriotism?
Or must the flag follow the marriage certificate? An an
swer to these questions will be supplied when congress
votes on the bill introduced by Miss Jeannette Rankin,
which grants American women who marry foreigners the
l ight to retain their citizenship.
Under the law the daughter and the granddaughter
of General Grant both forfeited their citizenship. Mrs.
Nellie Grant Sartoris became an Englishwoman and Julia
('.rant Cantacuzene a Russian..Mrs. Harriot Stanton
Blatch, daughter of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, also forfeit
I od her American citizenship through marriage. Gladys •
1 Vanderbilt Szechenyi is today an enemy alien of the land
of her birth because she married a Hungarian subject.
The latest American woman to assume a foreign national
ity through marriage is the former Mrs. Margaret Vivian
• Burton Thomason, who married a son of Count Bernstorff»
and as this was her second marriage to a German, her first
husband having been divorced, Mrs. Thomason may have
been a woman without a country at the time of her second
marriage.
No better show of patriotism can be evidenced than
by the young men of Seward participating in the drills of’
the military unit of Seward. A drill now will save many
later on. Instructions secured here may win a non-com’s
stripes down in the states.
Trotsky and the other Bolsheviki officials seem to
%
change their minds about every hour of the twenty four,
i Yesterday he said Russia would fight Germany. Today
1 he has practically said that the army is to be reduced and
will only be maintained for the restoration of Russia. Ah,
leave it alone, Germany will reduce you all right, all right.

preparations are afoot to provide for
them.
