SEWARD. ALASh V. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 5. 1916.
Fathers ami mothers are often heard to object to the publication of
things which young people should not know. Sometime®, indeed, a parent
makes his protest very warm but he should remember that newspapers are
not for children and that he himself and not the uewspapers are supposed to
select what his boy or girl should read. It would be foolish to expect that
newspapers should hide all that is unpleasant and unlovely. It would hardly
be wise to show only one side of life but it would be wise to keep children
from knowing some things too soon. A father is expected to keep a boy
from using tobacco. Why should he not also be expected to keep him from
reading newspapers?
H. G. Wells in one of the big weekly magazines, either Collier’s or the
Saturday Evening Post, intimates that finances will have little or no bear
ing on the ending of the war. He shows how any government can issue all
the paper money it wants to issue. He also shows how national bankruptcy
is a different matter altogether from the bankruptcy of an individual.
Lloyd George stated some time ago that "silver bullets will be the deciding
factor and it is difficult to reconcile the two statements.
It i> not easy to see why preparedness is being urged now with such
haste. It would seem that for the next few years, at least, the United
Statcv, might consider itself safe from aggression. After the war there will
not be a great power that can alTord to tackle this. It is not so hard to
understand why a great navy might bo useful to protect American commerce
on the sou, especially during the war, but that war will have to last for a
long time if it is possible to build a big navy before its end. Can it be pos
sible that the United States believes the sending of any army to some foreign
soil will be necessary before the dose of the European war? Preparedness
is all right but coming now so suddenly as the great political issue it looks
suspicious to the dayman.
A correspondent draws attention to what he considers a grammatical
error of an inexcusable kind which appeared in this paper. Speaking about
a division in congress some time ago this paper spoke of the members "that
were opposed to the bill.’' The correspondent says it should be "who were
etc." No sir; “The members of congress who were opposed to the bill’
would mean that all the members were opposed to it. “The members ol
congress that, etc.,” means only those actually opposed to it.

jj Who Composed
Nat l Anthems
NEW YORK, Jan. 21.—From data
! just gathered by the Metropolitan
j Opera Company these facts are
! learned about patriotic songs familiar
to nearly everyone:
The national song of the French,
the “Marseillaise,” was composed by
Rouget de Lisle, a captain of en
gineers quartered at Strasburg when
the volunteers of the lias Rhin re
ceived orders to join Lucknor’s army.
They had no music, but at the sug
gestion of Dietrich, the mayor of
Strasburg, De Lisle composed this
song on the night of April 24, 1792.
It was subsequently sung in Marseil
les with immense success, hence its
name. The song as it stands is the
greatest revolutionary hymn in the
world. The French government rc
| cently transferred the body of Rouget
j do Lisle (who suffered imprisonment
for his revolutionary opinions during
■ his lifetime) to the Palace des In
valides with great pomp ami cere
! mony.
The music of “Deutschland uber
alles” was written by Hayden in 1797.
The present words were not written
until 1841, by Hoffman von Fallers
tcben. At that time Germany was
not united into an empire as it is to
day.
The “Wacht am Rhein” was written !
j by Max Scheckenberger, an obscure j
| Swabian merchant, and the music was j
j by Carl Wilhelm. The song became
popular during the Franco-German
war.
The national hymn of Austria was
composed by Hayden and is known
as the “Emperor’s Hymn.”
j The words of the “Star-Spangled
Banner’ were written by r rancis
| Scott Key, an American prisoner on
a British man-o’-war during the bom
! bardment of Fort McHenry in 1814.
The melody is an old English drink
I ing song.
The words of “Yankee Doodle” were
' probably written by a Dr. Shuck
burgh, a surgeon in the French and
Indian wars. Halliday, the antiquar
ian, asserts the melody is derived
from a chant used in the Italian
churches of the twelfth century. It
, is well known that the song was a
vintage song in France and Spain,
j and a song of the reapers in Holland.
1 It is also said to be founded on a jig
of 1743, known as “Kitty Fisher’s
Jig.” The Caveliers are said to have
used it in ridicule of Cromwell just as
the British used it against the Ameri
cans.
1 j The origin of “America”—the tune
;! of “God Save The King” in England
. and “Heil dir im Sieges Kranz” in Ger
’j many—is in doubt, though it is often
