If he waa lined up with any of them, he ahould hare been sent to some other place. There Isn't any choice between rotten eggs. It ! bet ter that five thousand aliens be de ported wrongfully than that one "red" remain. Somehow, we hare an Idea that America should stand first for Americans, and someone ought to Impress on these alien brothers that they are here by suf ferance, and that It would be Just as well if they should wait until they are naturalised before spouting about "their rights." The American cItII liberties union - is the name of the newest organisa tion to assist In filling the editorial wastebaskets of the land. The union la now engaged In ruining tons of perfectly good white paper, that might be used for the dissemination of news and Information, In an at tack on the department of justice auid a veiled defense of the "reds" who hare been deported. The center f the attack Is, of course, A. Mitchell Palmer, attorney general, And the department of Justice. The ... Ctril liberties bunch confines its pub -liclty to Instances where aliens were imprisoned wrongfully and treated . cruelly. It Is possible, of course, that in a country-wide campaign against autarchy, some mistakes were made. It la possible that, now and then, some police officer or department gent lost his head and didn't show that quality of mercy for which ' police departments the world over Are famed. The civil liberties union doesn't put up any howl about cruel ty In penal Institutions; it has noth ing to say about miscarriages of Justice anywhere else. Only when the poor "reds" are maltreated Is there cause for complaint. There are plenty of cases nearer home where a real civil liberties union might bring About some needed reforms, but -oniehow we can't manage to find .much sympathy for abused alien rad icals. We're getting rather tiredvover the splitting of hairs where un Americantsm is concerned. What dif ference does it make whether some Warren O. Harding, the republi can nominee for the presidency, ful fils the requirements for a compro mise candidate. He has never been a commanding figure in politics, and therefore is more or less of an un known Quantity. The trouble with the three leading candidates waa that they were too well known. Leonard Wood would, in all prob ability, have received the nomina tion had it not been for the campaign expenditure disclosures. These same disclosures also hurt Lowden s chances. Johnson, because of his stand on the league of nations and radical views on other subjects of political Importance, was distasteful to most of the delegates, including a number who were pledged to him by the votes of their states. Senator Harding Is known as a standpatter. He has followed the voice of the party In all things. He favored the peace treaty with reasonable reservations. Say what you will, there is a dis like, almost a distaste, for military candidates. Despite ' his splendid civil administration record, and de spite the fact that he was not a West Pointer, nor a prominent war figure, Leonard Wood lost ground because of his uniform. General Pershing didn't get to first base in his own (adopted for the occasion) state. It's unusual when the voters won't rally when the flag is waved, cnpecially at the close of a great war, and may be explained by the fact that some many of the voters were in that war, and don't fancy that style of government. The republican tlck.it, as a whole, is a disappointment to union labor. Governor Coolldae first came into prominence through his activi ties in the Boston policemen's strike, which he handled admirably from the point of view of the public, but he won thereby the enmity of union labor. Senator Harding' attitude on the labor Question is not known Indeed, his attitude on most ques tlons is unknown but his support ers say that when the time comes, the public shall be told of the way he gets along with the workmen In his own factories, which ought to be a reasonably fair test. Alliance citizens who have been inclined to look on clean-up cam paigns in the light of a Joke, so far as actually rkanlng up was con cerned, are due for a great shock, if they haven't already received it. City Physician Hand isn't putting on his campaign to oblige a newspaper friend by furnishing a basis for se curing advertising. He's putting it on to make the town not only sight ly, but sanitary. He knows the law fairly thoroughly, and is prepared to lay it down on occasions. Inciden tally, he interprets it most strictly, and the average business man will find, on inquiry or sooner than that, that he has transgressed In some way. It comes, as we say, with con siderable of a shock, but Alliance ought to be a cleaner city when the city physician and his aide-de-camp get over the ground. Better begin to mop up the back yard and paint out the flyspecks before you are told to tell It to the Judge. This isn't a make-believe campaign. It will come hard after several years laxness in enforcing the regulations, but it ought to make Alliance a City Sani tary, and likewise a City Beautiful The Best Pants in the World at the Cheapest Price u. s. 1 ARMY PANTS Per Pair Wilson Bros. Alliance, Neb JUNE 21 TO 26 Next to Herald Office There is almost civil war at Chad- ron, where the struggle between the city manager and the mayor had lined the town up into two factions. each intent on victory. The mayor is unfortunate In that the council is with the city manager, but the law appears to be slightly in his favor, which fact seems to hearten him wonderfully. At a recent meeting the council voted down each pro posal made by the mayor with clocklike regularity, and overruled his every objection. In short, the proceedings remind one very much of a democratic governor and a re publican legislature. The mayor's adherents have finally dragged the matter into court by means of an in Junction suit. The city manager Idea is fine, no doubt, but in cities like Alliance, the safest way to work it is to make the mayor the city manager. Otherwise, there'll be war, Juding from the experience of the two cities nearest home. When ever too much power is conferred in the name of efficiency, either by city ordinance, state legislature or congress, there's always a good deal of competition to see who can exer cise the most of It.
