Wenn ich vor etwa sieben Jahre
gl'imlstt hätte", sagte Herr Goudn
des Weiteren, was ich jcht m!t
Tanlac vollbringe, hätte ich all diese
Leiden und diesen Jammer, welche
ich durchlcl'te, erspart. Mein eigent
lickeS Leiden im Kreuz, wo ich solche
Schmerzen auszustehen hatte, daß ich
das Gefühl hatte, als ob mir je
mand ein zivcischneidigcs Messer
durch den Leib gestoßen. Ich mußte
sogar sehr behutsam sein, wie ich
mich herum drehte im Bett, oder die
Schmerz'l hätten mir fast meinen
Atem genomnien? die. Schmerzen
wurden mit der Jcit so heftig, daß
ich nicht lange genug still sitzen
konnte, um ein Telegramm abzusen
den. Bon allen Seiten wurde mir
gesagt, daß ich von einem schlimmen
Nierenleiden befallen sei, doch ich
wußte, daß die Krankheit mit einem
Magcnleidcn ihren Anfang genom
men, denn schon Jahre zuvor hatte
ich schwer von Gährung und Magen,
brennen zu leiden. Mein Appetit
war schlecht und das Wenige was ich
zu essen v'nnochte, wurde sauer in
meinem , Magen und verursachte
Gase, und meine Nerven waren fchr
zerrüttet.
Etwa um diese Zeit benrerkte ich,
wie Tanla? andern Leuten geholfen
und so entschloß ich mich auZzufin
den, ob auch mir helfen würde.
Ich hatte wenig Glauben , daran,
doch ich hatte keine Ahnimg davon,
daß es meine ganzen Leiden s?
schnell und gründlich hätte beenden
können, wie es dies getan hat. Ich
füblte in meinem ganzen Leben nie.

Editor Omaha "Tribune":

also much pleascd to note that other
papers, auch as the Lincoln Journal
and the Haütings Tribune take a ti

says, that "it may not b Inoppor

club & choice eelection of atrocity
stories, which he must havo known
to be faked and which have been
amply disproven sicce, what can you
expect from the mob? Evcn-since
the war is over, a Bov. (?) Dr. Pen
tecost in Philadelphia teils a congre-
iration of S000 that "all Germans
should be drowned." Witb. innumer-
able instances of a similar kind, the
never ending use of "Hun" hcadlines
in our press, epithets cutting cruelly
into the hearts of Million of per
fectly loyal Amcricans of German
descent, I think it is distinctly to
Credit of our "mobs", that not more
outrages were committed like .the
Praeger lynching in Collinsville, 111.
Ey all means the law should be
supreme, must be supreme at all
costs. But there must also be
"equality before the law." Inciters
to riots in high places should be as
inexorably dealt with as the irrespon
sible hoodlum, who allows himself to
bc invited to acts of violence.
And another thing, to promote
respect for the law, our lawmakers
should seek quality rather than quan
tity. There are too many laws, too
many laws which. are not and can
not be ensorced. That breeds dis
respect our anticigaret law as an
instance. Prohibition, aecording to
our Professional reformers, was to be
the panacea for all moral defections.j

"The Market i'or Votes" is the
heading of an article printed in
"The New Republic," devoted to
the prospects of two-party con
trol of American politics being
broken. . The writer arpues that
besides and within the Con
sen'ative North and the Solid
South there are lare groups of
voters who look for organiza
tions with a program or pro
rams which will recognize their
economic and social desires.
Labor, the salaried middle
classes, the farmer, among
these jjroups there are many
who seek representation through
other than the old channels.
The writer says in the Course
of his article:
The Solid South and the Con
servative North are easily
enough placed. What of the
other large groups of voters?
In recent campaigns there has
been only one group about whosc
party loyal ty it was possible to
have any doubt. This group was
made up" of the "progressives,"
and the "progressives" alonc
theught it proper to ssk the old
party leaders to bid for their Sup
port. The farmers, the industrial
workers and the salaried middle
classes never voted as a group.
In effect they regarded the vote
primarily as a cerernonial func
tion, from which not a great deal
more was to be expected than
the election of a friend or a
favorite, and ordinarily they di
vided between Democrats and
Republicans so as to cancel the
votes of their own dass with
no genuine economic issue at
stake in the outcome.
Political Action for Economic
Reforms.
What we see todav is an in
creasingly coherent demand,
from" these thrce groups, that
political action be used to
acliieve defmite economic re
forms. The sala'ied middle
classes are demanding govern
m.ental action to reduce the cost
of living. They may be per
sueded, but persuaded only for
a time, that a poücy of watchful
waitirg plus the prosecution of
a srray pronteer' and a new set
of restriktive kws will help
them. What the farmers are
asking, not only in North Da
kota but through their granges
in other parts of the country, is
political action that will britisr a,

The Cleveland "Daily Iron Trade
and Aletal Market Report", in com
menting cditorially on the Etrike
Situation, ander the caption "Is po
litical passion to succeed Whiskey",
and speaking of the "often Whiskey
ineited strikes" of the past, winds
up with the appaiently regretful
querj': "Is it possible that political
passion will replace Whiskey in con
tinuing a mad struggle for labor
union domination of mills and für
naces? Is either one feature much
worse than the other in its ultimate
rcsults upon the business of the na
tion as well as upon the fortunes
of the workmen?"
It is possible unless such passion
is f allayed by the exercise of great
wisdom by the men in high places
and by the press refraining from
sensational beadlines and faked and
distorted news which incite such, pas
sion. Calling all labor union efforts
"bolshevism" is one of the things
which. will do it.
Let us hope that the Iesson taught
by Sundaj-s events will penetrate
deeply and be of lasting bonefit to
the country at large.

elevators. DiiTerent groups of
industrial workers also have airns
that only political power can
ac'aieve. Tbc Plumb Plan is, of
Course, the obvious case. Eut
the . various demands of the
Chicago Federation of Labor
and of the Central Federated
Union of New York for public
owne-rship of Utilities, a national
cight-hour day, etc. all require
political action for their rcaliza
tion. It is significant that even
in the case of disputes ordinarily
scttled by the strike the present
dispute in the steel industry, for
rn?tar,ce the workers are now
örganized on so vast a scale that
they feel it necessary sirst to try
political intercession before they
resort to their own method of
direct action.
Little to be Hoped for Frotn the
Old Parties.
In a political Situation so un
settled, with ' genuine economic
i'sues fas distingutshed from
"the füll, dinner pail",) being
pufhed to the fore, it is possible
to count as certain only one fact;
nttther of the two old partics
will bc able to go verv far to
ward bidding the price that the
iarnvers and the industrial work
ers and the salaried middle
classes are, now asking. For
both old parties are too closely
ssociated in leadership and
tunds with the Status quo.
Democrats and Republicans can
cft'er.the salaried middle classes
invesiigations and prosecutions ;
but they cannot go in for a co
operative System of distribution.
They can give the farmers a lim
ited schern e of rural Credits, and
appropriate funds for experi
ments in seeds; but they cannot
experiment with a systerrr in
which 'grain elevators and wäre
houses and refrigerator cars 3"e
made public Utilities. They can
give the industrial workers as
surance that labor is not a com
modity; but they can never put
through a national eight-hour
day or a national miniimira wage
or a Plumb Plan. What i the
rcfiilt going to be? One of two
things, probabh. Eilher a new
political ! coalition will be buüt
between ' industrinl workers,
farmers 'and salaried middle
classes. ' Or, disillüsipn(l with

Sliall Tliere Be A German Irreftnla?
Professor Ludwig Quidde Asks An Important Cuestion in
"Frankfurter Zeiiunz".
In the Frankfurter Zeitung
Professor Ludwig Quidde asks
the question: "Shall there be a
(IcrmanIrrcdcnta?" and points
t.ut the danger of creating one in
volved in the Provision for vot
ing on allegiance to or Separation
from Germany. The term "irre
lenta." the reader will remem
' er, means "unredeemed," and is
iiere applied in the same sense in
.hich the Italians formerly des!g
nated some of their lost
provinces (e. g. tlie Trcntino) as
' unredeemed." Professor Ouid
le's discussion is reproduced
here in part, as taken from the
Christian Cynosure:
In the peace conditions pro
posed by the Entente the right
of self-determination by the
resident Population is grossly
disregarded in connection with
all the territorics whosc Status
is likely to be aftected. In case
of the parts of Upper Silesia
Posen, and West Prussia west
of the Vistula assigned to the
Poles, and of the free city of
Danzig and the Memel territory
placed under the control of the
Allied and Associated Powers,
and of the portion or. Silesia
promised to the Czechs, and of
Alsace-Lorraine, the people are
not permitted to vote upon their
national preferences. The few
cases where a populär" vote is
allowed constitute, upoa closer
examination, an insult to the
principle of self-deterrränation
rather than a recognition of that
principle.
In case of the district of Eupen
and Malmedy, which are to go to
Belgium, the mhabitants are en
titled to register formally their
political wishes within six
months of the date when the
treaty goes into force. This
registration occurs before the
Belgian authorities. The Bel
gian Government is to report the
result of this inquiry to the
ieague of Naiions, which then
will decide what is to be done.
Accordingly, we have a public
vote with the name of every
voter recorded, subject to the
pleasure of the loc-1 Belgian
Administration and - !iout any
guarantee that the uvdt of this
sort of "an expression of populär
will'' is to have any practical
result In case of the Saar
basin, which is to be placed
under the Administration of a
Commission of the League of
Nations, together with some
bordering territorics of the
Palatinate, the people are to be
allowed the privilege of express
ing their political wishes fifteen
years later and the question is
to be put in three forms: con

these limitations the vote has no
signifkance if Germany should
not be able. fifteen years later,
to buy back the coal mines of
the Saar district. Should it fail
to do this the territory is to bc
ceded dfinitely to France. In
other words, the wishes of the
people are to have no effect.
The population is treated like a
herd of cattle.-
The Vote in East Prussia.
For tite territory of East
Prussia and for the West Prus
sian districts east of the Nogat
and the Vistula, which are given
to Poland, there is to be a vote
by townships. It is to bc con
trolled by an international Com
mission, appointed by the Allied
and Associated Powers, who are
instructed to makc the election
free, just and secret. The Great
Powers are then to draw the
boundarics, taking into consider
ation the wishes of the people,
and also the gcographical and
economic factors.. But in all
cases the Poles are to have cotn
plete control of the Vistula, to
gether with a suffic'cnt zone
?dong the right bank of the river.
The hostilc Powers are. there
fore, in ,sole charge of the elec
tion and assume to be an im
partial judge between the Poles
and the Germans. How much
confidence can - we have in the
results?
The Case of Schleswig.
Tn the cae of Schleswig, the
German troops and the German
Government oiTiciali are to with
draw from the country. There
upon, a frec, just, and secret vote
is to bc taken under the control
of a Commission of sive memben,
of which three are to be appoint
ed by the hobtile Powers and one
eich by Norway and Swcden.
The land is divided into three
zones. In the northern zonc,
which has a prcponderantly
Danish population, the total vote
is to decide. This deprives locat
communities in the southern por
tion of the zone, who would pre
fer to belong to Germany, from
avoiding incorporation with Den
mark. In the central zone, where
the Danish population is too
wcakly represented, and in the
southern zone, where the popu
lation is entirely German, the
election occurs by townships.
It may, therefore, occur that
överwhclming majorittes in these
districts are in favor of remain
ing in Germany, but that some
townships, possibly influenced
by economic and gcographical
conditions, will vote to join Den
mark. The vote is not to occur
simultaneously, but at prescribed
intervals, sirst in the northern
zone, then in the central zone,
and .finally in tjie jouthern zone.
There is a clcar intent of preiu
dicing the election in the south
ern zone by the result in thr
northern zone. This is playing
fest and loosc with the principle
of .elf-dctermination. After the
results of the election have been
obtaincd the boundarie are to
be drawn, taking into conider3-
tion economic and gcographical
conditions. The Allied and Asso
ciated Powers will prescril e the
Danish boundary and an inter
national Commission of seven
m'embers, sive of whom will
represent the hostilc govern-
ments and one each Germany
and Denmark. will actua'ly draw

that German people in district

deprive a great, economic a'lvati

The inhabitants of the districts

as though the Saar basin, Äs well
as Alsace-Lorraine, were to be

Prussian state debts, since there
iis a Provision that the taxes shall
be only those necessary to pay
the expenses of the administra
tion of the district while under
the control of the League of Na
tions ,and consequently nothing
is provided for national purposes.
The treaty is eloquently silent
as to what would occur fifteen
years later when the question of
ultirrfate Separation from Ger
many is decided.
To su b mit the question of po
litical allegiance to unquestioned

"Germany has solved the

on a gigantic scale. In future,
from the point of agricultural
fertilizers, she is ,'ndependcnt of

a Statement made to "The Lon
don Times" by Dr. Edward C.
Worden, the explosives chemical
expert of the United States
Bureau of Aircraft Production,
Washington, who has just re
turned to London from a tour
of ' inspection of the chemical
industry in Germany.
"Speaking generally," said Dr.
Worden, "the chemical industry
of Germany is, and has been
since the srmistice, just as pre

though war had sie vor intenereo
