TUESDAY, OCTOBER lf», 1918
STARTLING BUT TRUE
It is now more than a full year
since the rails of the government line
rerehed the Matanuska coal fields in
Alaska from tidewater at Anchorage.
In glancing over the tabulated com
rnerce reports for the fiscal year
ended June Jo, 1918, it is seen that
5J.751 tons of United States coal, val
ued at $406,911, were shipped to
Alaska from Seattle In addition to
the domestic coal some 50,000 tons
were shipped to Maska from British
Columbia of a slightly greater total
valuation. Here vse have a grand to

SUPPRESS FOREIGN-LANGUAGE
NEWSPAPERS
It becomes more apparent from day
lo day that it would lie an excellent
measure for the additional protection
of ilie country at the present time,
as well as a future safeguard, if every
newspaper in America being printed
in a foreign longue were permanently
suppressed, and a law passed which
would make it impossible for such a
journal to exist.
That might go a little hard with
some publications now supposedly
using the English language, hut more
seriously speaking, immeasurable
harm lias been done for years by
blatherskites and enemy aliens who
have been permitted lo publish almost
anything ihev eared to, little atten
tion being paid to them because, until
Ameri a entered the war, none other
than their own kind were interested
in in read wlmt was said.
The suppression of such papers
: would tend lo cause the alien within
in,;- gate to more ipiii kly learn the
language of our country, and corre
spondingly change his perspective in
viewing the advantages he is permil
ted in enjoy under the protection of
tlie great republic.

DRIVE NEARING AN END
Germany, the arch-master of deceit
ful propaganda at home and abroad,
awaits with dread the coming lot a
piece of truthful allied propaganda
which it will not be able to koep from
its befooled people, and which is cer
tain to sadly weaken their “will to
win."
That propaganda is the news of the
scccess of the Fourth Liberty loan.
America awaits with supreme coni!
dencc the “returns" of October 19,
showing the Liberty loan oversub
scribed in every section of the coun
try.
This confidence is not that over
confidence which makes a fatal lazi
ness under the supposition that thi
loan will succeed because everybody
else is going lo subscribe the limit
It is legitimate assurance based on
the knowledge that you and every
other American, man and woman, art
going to make it the “Fighting Fourth
Loan"; that we are going to roll uf
an oversubscription which will carry
the word to every Yankee soldier that
we at home are matching his sacri
fice with the most extreme war efforts
of our ability.
The Fourth Liberty loan will more
surely bring home to the Herman na
tion the Inevitability of defeat because
at tills time they are floating their
ninth loan. Whatever total they reach
under the pressure they apply to
their cltiaens and their patchwork
schemes of converting all forms of
investment into war bonds, the six
billions and more of the Fourth Lib
erty loai will far overshadow it
With America-at-home showing half
the lighting spirit of its men in
France, the six billion dollars of the
loan would bo doubled in a week
Get your coat off and pencil busy
See that no luxury, no expense that
might be eliminated, shrinks the to
tal of your subscription.
That I W. W. gang tried, convicted
and sentenced In Chicago may not
have much respect for government,
law, order, loyalty or patriotism, but
it certainly had impressed on it the
fact that justice, decency and the
American determination to sustain
the government loyally and patriot
ically exist as ever In all their force
and effect.

Autocratic Rulers of Germany Proven Most
Inhuman and Tyrannical Enemies
By BARTOW A. ULRICH
Author of “Abraham Lincoln” and “Constitutional Governmeat"
r« "■■■ ■■■■■ " ' 'a
William II, king of Prussia, and the constitutional president of the
German empire, with the nominal title of “emperor,’ proved at first to
be an advocate of peace, and was a popular ruler up to the commence
ment of the war precipitated with savage haste, after long premedita
tion and preparation. His entire peace pretentions were deceptive and
hypocritical. He and the autocratic rulers of the twenty-five states of
Germany, meeting secretly in the bundesrath, behind locked doors, delib
erately planned the hellish scheme of deluging Europe in blood, fire and
desolation. They have surpassed the most treacherous devices of Mac
chiavelli, as depicted in his celebrated, brutal book, “The Prince.”
So far the Herman states, headed by the emperor-king, William II.
have been the most destructive, inhuman, tyrannical and treacherous
enemies of the human race which the world has ever known.
Emperor William II, under the German constitution, possesses the
uower to control these forces, to stop or continue the carnage, and to ■
enforce civilized methods of warfare. Tie lias misused and still is mis-1
using the powers given into his hands, without any effort on his part, ,
through the previous labors and devices of Bismarck and the former
kings of Prussia. He has trod the continent of Europe like an imper-j
sonatinn of Satan, the arch-demon of destruction, trampling men, women
and children in the blood-soaked mire, beneath his eleven hoof.
'1'lie great conflict now raging in Europe between the central powers
and the Ended Stale - and its allies is a war of democracy again-: des
potic militftrv autoeraey, which lights to rule t^ie world.
This new entente, ineluding (lie Ended Slate-, i- not otip. I! liting
its own buttle-, but it i- al.-o indireetlv lighting the muse of d.nn r;iey,
including < Ieti11:i11v. heretofore dominated by tie Ilolienzollei ii d; i ,-ty,
wiiieh ha- gradually ub--• ■ .I the greater part of tie Herman empire.
In a book entitled " I lie P-\cho!ogv o! lie Kai-' r. by Morton I inee,
it is stated tbat in the con-ciou.-iic-s of the kaiser there i- mtuing
tb it i- more dominant than bis increasing and v iolent antipathy to tin* i
great bin I v of citizens constituting no less than one-third of the empire, j
rumely. the social democrats.
The empire of Germany is ruled by the representatives of tlit old j
Hobenzollerii family, with centuries of aggressive wars to its credit, j
or d'.-credit, through Prussia, which they control and which comprises
t.wo-thirds of Germany. The question now arises, can Prussia and the
other Herman states stem the rising tide of democracy which is sweeping
oil before it? Are not tile people of the central [lowers weary of the rule
and oppression of kiugs, emperors and czars?
