GROSS INJUSTICE
Under the head, “Illicit Still F : ; d in Ivetchi
kan“ the Prince Rupert Nows under date of
February 20. gives an account of the discovery
of a rtill in Juneau sometime ago. and from the
heading' leads its readers to believe that Ket
h s such cusses as would stoop to such disreput
able usiness ns the manufnctire of liquor.
The t >wn of Juneau, or any other town in Alas
k" rr t.y harbo • such men, but not Ketchikan.
Than' you. Residents of this town don’t have
to manufacture the stuff— .The - hare plenty
of money, which is inferring a whole lot.
The Vancouver Sun says that before Canada
is through with the national railway expendi
ture, she country is likely to have a “stomach
fid of it. Canada is learning and so is our own
count w—and any other country for—that
govenmena ownership of public utilities is ex
pcuv.rw because the management is. everybody’s
busin- s. and the more there are ' meddle the
more expensive the management of a business
becomes.
tSo. <he Democrats in congress want an extra
session. But when did theyhave recess, or
did they adjourned? It takes 'i :v lime to
do th ugs required of there vlr thev do only
by helves at that. However let hum have ano
ther session. They might leai i something—
about Alaska in particular.
THE GERMAN EEOFT E
Jus! now there is a lot of bi roing the
round1 about the Germ; n >yo.u * hw fladby
mind* 1 folks talk as if the . ' .ns were an
abused lot, likely to be imper 1 on defeat by
the allied powers. The Germans themselves
seem to take the attitude that they are entitled
to consideration from the decent peoples of the
world; that they may make demands and re
ceive concessions; that they may skip blithely
into the circle of the world powers and take
a respected place there. Such things cannot be
What have the German people a right to expect
from the rest of the world ? Here are the facts
The German people brought on the war which
has set the world back hundred years. The Ger
man people violated Belgium, betrayed Poland,
murdered thousands of Christian in Armenia.
The German people committed unnamable
crimes thruout Belgium and northern France
The German people set at naught Christianity
and civilization by deliberately firing upon and
destroying Red Cross units, hospitals and hos
pital hips. The German people, with their sub
marines, murdered thousands of blameless men
women and children, and destroyed billions of
property. The German people have shown no
sign of repentance for these crimes. They have
offered no reparation for their monstrous mis
deeds. The German people have done only two
things not offensive to the peace and dignity of
'h* world, to wit:—
They stopped fighting with headlong haste as
soon as the battle began to go against them.
Then they swiftly busied themselves with a re
volution—real or pretended—the chief purpose
of which seem to be to beg undeserved aid from
he rest of the world and to evade payment for
>ur years of outrageous crime. Are they go
ing to succeed in this attempt to evade respon
sibility?
The American people are magnanimous, and
■wift to forget. There is real danger that
many cf our folks may forget, before the peace
negotiations are concluded that the only hope
of the world lies in making the German people
pay to the last farthing. With an unrepentant
and stiff-necked people, growling and demand
ing things of the world, there can be no perma
nent peace. They must be made to feel for
enerations the burden of the wrongs they
have done. They must be brought to repent
• nee by being forced to make financial repar
ation—the only kind they can make or can un
derstand. A burden of taxation for a hundred
years is not too much to expiate the wrongs
they have clone.
In all the talk of world peace, the leagues of
nations and universal disarmament, there is
one big fact the people of the United States
cannot alfoi'cl to forget— The German people
must pay.—Household Journal
