NOTICE
If that man Holmberg, to whom the Judge of
the court spoke to just before passing sentence
upon him yesterday, digest iha . cture, it
'shou'd do him and his like a v ' 1 ! t of good,
we inligine. unless he i- an : :in ••••.*. mfirmed
criminal of the kaiser brand. In that case the
lecture will net affect h'm a • ' the on!; thing
to do next is to deport hint h ■■ a d baggage.
The court used no fancy exp-e-- • but -poke
to hint as man to man, with rparent feeling
of sorrow and disgust tor th warped mind of
culprit. Holmberg should rent; .ubev that while
our soldiers’ uniforms may r.dy*’ hut it
is only dirty blood from ou at- slave driv

AS LOYAL FRIENDS
There is an old saying t' applies with
homely force to the new Ann! '-American en

In truth and record, the fund n atal bond was
always strong as history .-how*. Superficially,
however, there ha- been much friction and mis
under-tanding. bn. no more a—if we admit
the truth, than in a family. What a difference

PILING OX MISTAKES
A year or more ago, the council passed an
ordinance having for its object the keeping of
dogs off the streets within the city limits. Eve
rybody was happy—that is those who had no
dog: as the end to the biggest nuisance was
soon to become a thing of the past. When the
Ian went into effect, it was discovered that
dogs howl when impounded. This habit was
annoying to the “Power that be” and the dogs
were let loose. That was mistake number one.
Just a short time ago. the council passed ano
ther ordinance compelling every landlord and
tenant of promises along the streets to clear
the snow off’ the walks before noon of each
day. One day we got snow alright, but that
fool snow came down during the afternoon and
night. Landlords and tenants waited to near
the noon hour: by that time it had frozen, elimi
nating the necessity of shoveling the snow.
Now it is all ice and the council cannot do a
darn thing, because it isn't snow at all, but glar
Ir»g ice; and ice was never mentioned in the or
dinance. It only mentions snow; and there you
have mistake number two. Who said our coun
cil all-wise? Before the dog ordinance was
oassed the howl in every dog should heve been
taken rut. or have included it in the nuisance.
The same with the snow, ice should have been
included. These are terrible blunders to make

erican Volunteer Motor Ambulance corps and
whose death has been recently announced, dis
closed the fact in the Champagne battle in Octo

SOCIALISM A GERMAN INVENTION
More than half a century ago socialism was
invented in Germany, and the rulers of the em
pire, foreseeing its vast possibilities in break
ing down national morale, fostered its propa
gation abroad while they did their best to
stamp out the habit at home. Morphine and
cocaine and their like gain a hold on their vic
tims because they offer great initial attracti
ons; the addict becomes lost in magnificently
impossible dreams whose splendor for a long
time <eems worth the pain of awakening. So
cialism could not be stamped out of Germany
and as matters new stand today, Germany
-eems to have released a force that may work
her own destruction. It is a rare poison that
will not act on the system of its own inventor.
