Ketchikan, Alaska, Saturday. April 12. 1919
PRUSSIA UNREGENERATED
There has been a suspicion right along that
the reason the kaiser and the crown prince took
refuge in Holland was in order to be close at
hand when the peace treaty is finally signed and
the restrictions imposed upon the German people
are relaxed by the entente allies.
Whateve rmav be the feeling in other parts of
the German empire, there is no question that a
large and influential element in Prussia favors
the Hohenzollem dynasty.. This was manifest
ed in the Prussian diet only a short time ago.
when the suggestion of a member that that coun
try should restore the monarchy was heartily
applauded in spite of socialist hisses- says a
report, and thus that suspicion above mentioned
finds support.
Assuredly the entente allies must safeguard
the world against the kaiser or any of his brood
being reestablished as kings of Prussia, for that
would be only a half-way step to reinstating the
Hohenzollern family upon the German throne.
Obviously the Prussians have much in com
mon with the ancient Bourbons, of whom it was
said that they never learned anything or forgot
anything.
From time to time have been rumors that the
monarchists in Germany were financing and back
of the Bolshevik movement all over the world.
It is said the German people have no desire to
see a successful democracy established in Ger
many, and by keeping up a constant turmoil
they think the people will ultimately get tired
of strife and once more turn to the Hohenzoll
erns to establish a stable government. Fortu
nately, the nations represented at the Paris
peace conference have a pretty clear understand
ing of what is happening in Germany, and they
will not fail to take steps to safeguard the peace
of the world by making it impossible for the
Honenzollerns or any other like dynasty to be
restored either to the Imperial or Prussian thro
ne to soon or late plunge the world into another
world war.
Of course the Huns will squeal, but they must
take their medicine.
And now the allies are awake to the fact that I
just as they hadto prevent Hun autocracy from
swamping the world, so will they have to prevent
Bolshevik autocracy from grinding it under its
iron heel. And if the reports are accurate, some
of our soldiers would be willing.
Seattle is enough to make a fellow’ gasp.
Thieves on a Sunday not long ago got away with
four thusand quarts of liquor from the federal
appraiser’s warehouse, using a truck for the
purpose, when in Ketchikan we are dying for
even a drink of cider—the new kind. Evidently
what cannot be done elsewhere is easy in the
Spirit City.
Petty burglaries, thieveries and other annoy-’
anees may be expected to continue until some
body lands on a miscreant with a gun and gives
a job to the coroner.
The suit case, once the proud badge of the tra
veler- has become the furtive symbol of an un
quenchable thirst, is the way the Detroit News
puts it. *
Let us keep in mind the fact that our war
debt has to be paid, and in order to contribute
our share, we must save. Let us quit smoking
and drinking, George. Our wives are denying
themselves a whole lot. What?
THE COERCIVE TAG
The tag day, when it was a new institution and
was conducted in behalf of some genuinely po
pular charity, brought responsive and enthusi
astic results. It had a novelty that for a time
outbalanced its coercive character. That no
velty has passed away, real justification is often
absent and the common tag day is now' not far
removed from the status of nuisance and holdup
in the public mind.
The psychology of the tag is that persons will
buy to be free from pestering solicitation. For •
the sale to be anywhere near successful there
must be a vendor or two or three on every corner
The man whodoesnotcare to advertise his chari
table impulses, or dislke the doubtful adornment
o' a dangling piece of pasteborad, must be made
tun a gauntlet of appeals and thus pay dearly
tor being obstreperous.
It is the coercive feature that has made mu
nicipal regulation of tag days a necessities. With
out regulation the dubious as well as the worthy
enterprise would more often seek profit from it.
There would be a tag day every week.
Let us hope rather that other forms of sys- i
tematic solicitation now open and which will not
provoke general irritation when in a good cause
will be adopted. They are more digified and they
would doubtless be just as productive.Oregonian i
