He stood aside where uoue might see.
And watched her passing down the
street,
The while she guided carefully
A little toddling baby's teet.
H e woudered, seeing her go by,
I f she recalled a certain day,
When she could scarce suppress a sigh
Because he coldly turned away.
H e fancied, too, she might be sad,
Aud waiting until he returned
To claim the love that once be had,
In foolish haste, so lightly spumed.
But now, with look that he had ne'er
Supposed could glorify her face,
She led her sister's baby where
He peered out from his hiding place.
And so he turned away to go
Aioue through life, and sadly dream
O f pleasures he might never know.
Aud pledges he could ne'er redeem.

Americanism may be demonstrated in
several forms. In fact, in these times,
it must be demonstrated in many ways.
With some o f these forms we are fa
«uiUar. We know it is our duty to sup
port the government. We know it is our
duty to support the Red Cross and Y.
M. C. A. We know it is our duty to buy
thrift stumps and liberty bonds.
I f we are naturalized citizens, are
know it is our duty to forget our father
land and g iv e our full support to our
adopted country, even in a war with
the country in which we were born.
The latter is probably the hardest test
o f American citizenship. Who o f us
born in America could think o f becom
in g citizens o f another country and tak
in g up arms against America, even
though we knew this country were in
the wrong?
The number o f German-born citizens
who have stood every test in the pres
ent great struggle is amazing. The nuin
ber o f boys o f German ancestry w ho are
now in the service o f their country, de
fending it in a war against a country in
which their ancestors were born, is one
o f tLe wonders o f the present titanic
struggle.
A ll o f which imposes a further duty
upon those whose ancestor* were born
here or in the countries o f our allies.
That duty is to show the greatest re
spect for those o f German birth .and
German ancestry who are daily display
ing their fealty to the country adopted
by themselves or by their ancestry. We
must bear in mind that they have had
to put aside emotions with whieb those
born here have not had to contend. We
must bear in inind that their position
at this time is a hard one and that otiw
o f the hardest things for them to beat
is to have their patriotism doubted or
suspicioned when given at such a sac
rifice o f sentimental feelings. We must
remember that as a small act on thetr
part might be misconstrued by Atnerl
can horn citizens, so may a slight word
on our part be taken by German
blooded citizens as doubt o f their lo y
alty.
I f we who are born here would rave
were our loyalty questioned, we must
remember that loyal eitizens born else
where are just us sensitive, i f not more
so.
In this vicinity there live* » woman
born in Germnny
who has raised
several children, who has probably
reached the delicate period in a worn
an's life, a large part o f whose life may
have been given to a struggle to keep
her brood neatly dressed and comfort
ably fed, who has many relatives in the
German army, but who yet says she
tries to be a true American citizen, de
spite the fact that her children arc
taunted by their school mates and she
herself plagued by her neighbors’ chi!
dren.
The ¡Springfield News has found the
publication o f a semi-weekly uuprofit
able and will hereafter issue but once,
a week.
It is something o f a job to
make any kind o f a paper pay in these
strenuous days o f sky rocketing price*.
Tile semi weekly is much more expen
sive to produce than a weekly and the
returns are but slightly greater than
those o f a weekly, therefore the semi-
weekly must go for the present. We
know o f but three semi weeklies now re
uiaining in the state. Editor Diiuui can
give the Springfield people more for
their money in a weekly than in a semi
w eeklv.

The profiteer and the hoarder o f the
necessities o f life are lower than the
draft evader. N o punishment is too se
vere for their crime. To lie lacking in
patriotism is bad enough. Such a per
son should be an outcast from society.
Hut the person who adds to already ill
gotten gains by fattening • on the pa
triotism o f others, who takes advantage
if a situation in which our men and
boys are baring their breasts to enemy
shot and shell, a situation in which
mothers are cheerfully parting with
sons, wives with husbands, ehildren
with fathers, fathers with ehildren and
sisters with brothers, who takes ad
vantage o f such a situation to grab a
few dirty dollars o f unreasonable profit,
is too low and contemptible and loath
some to live on the same planet with
decent people.
Buch a one. i f he thought he could
escape detection, would sell his own
mother into slavery and t r a ffic in his
own daughter's virtue.
His presence
would pollute hell itself ami the steneh
of his putrid carcass upon the flames
if eternal fire would strangle >atan
himself.
There is none lower than the profiteer
except it be the libertine who leaves his
limy trail in the home o f some hu«
band or father serving his country on
the battle front.
For this reason the greatest rare
should be taken in bringing u charge o f
profiteering or hoarding against any
one. The stigma that immediately at
tnchea to one thus ace used is not wipeil
out by proof o f his innocence. The in
jury o f a false charge o f this kind can
never lie overcome.
Another reason why great care should
be taken in making such a charge is
that the people expect the government
to immediately right the wrong that
has been brought to light and there is
great disappointment and dissatisfac
tion when the charge is found to be
greatly exaggerated and nothing is
done. In times sueh as these, with
prires mounting higher and higher,
there is a firm belief on the part o f the
ultimate consumer that someone is
making an unreasonable profit, result
ing in great dissatisfaction and under-
the surface murmuring because the g o v
ernment does not do something about it.
A murmuring, dissatisfied p e r, pie arc
not the kind that successfully prose
cute a war. Certainly the government
hould not increase the murmuring and
dissatisfaction by carelessly bringing
charges o f profiteering when it esn not
so far prove its case as to be able to
act in a vigorous manner.
Only a short time ago we were in
formed that through the e ffo rts of
Francis J. Honey great quantities o f
hides had been found in -the hands o f
paekers and that the paekers were hold
ing them for bigger profits, thereby
forcing still higher the prices o f leather
goods.
The public wan in a mood to believe
every word o f the story, and we expect
ed momentarily to hear that these great
hoards bad been confiscated and that
leather goods would take a tumble.
