"better efforts for the poor, down

this country."
According to our hyphenated man
ipulator of the typewriter, this man!
Hoover is about as unFpe-k-ole D '
atrocity as walks in shoe leather.
'Cause why?
-He is a virtual Englishman. He
has been at the rublic trough ever
since he as II years old and has
lived in England."
The Courier-Journal is able to see
the point Of course, it is an unpar-
donable crime for a man ever to have I
lived in England, because England is
now fighting Germany. And what j
makes Hoover a still blacker repro j
bate is that he has also lived in the j
United State, and the United States, ;
too. is fighting Germany.
But that is not all. Hoover, "like j
the majority of the people who live
in the solid south, hates the Ger-1
mans." and tbe principal reason" j
why tie south hates the Germans is j
that "the Germans were strongly rep-
resented in the Union army and were j
largely responsible for winning the j
struggle to liberate human beings j
from bondage." i
It is to be hoped that none of the !
ancestors of "German-American Proud i
of His Ancestors" were among those j
Germans ho fought in the Union!
army. For no man who fought for j
the Sag in the sixties would not be '
ashamed of any descendant who, if j
he had sufficient courage to sign his
name to what he writes and sufficient
manliness to act as he writes, would
be fighting against that fag today.
The fling at the south is as absurd
as it is contemptible. The south i
does not hate the Germans as a '
people. The only Germans whom it !
hates are those who in Europe are '
trampling underfoot the laws of God ;
and man in their efforts to Prus-;
sianize the world and those like our
knight of the typewriter, who, claim
ing to be Americans, lose no oppor
tunity, wi-iin the limits of the cow
ardce, to serve Americas enemies.
Cowardice ? The word, though ugly,
is not out of place. "German-American
Proud of His Ancestors" doea not
think so. "The fact is." he type
writes the Courier-Journal, "you have
not the courage to do so (denounce
the "disgraceful incompetency" of the
administration). "You don't dare.
You are showing the white feather."
And does he not know what he
is talking about when he talks about
the white feather.? Read him further:
"If I was a man without any family j
obligations I would sign my name.
