THE GERMAN-AMERICAN .
llueh baa been written of late re
tarding the position of American
citizens of Teutonic ancestry.' They
are many of them finding It d I in
tuit to place themselves, and are
trying to avoid making a mistake
by maintaining what they consider
a discrete silence. .
Bnt there n no occasion for aucb
a cltlaen to bed (re or play the hypo
crite. He knows, down In his heart
of, hearts that the success of Ger
man arms, driven, by the relentless
ambition of the - present -German
government, means a political world
which he cannot countenance. And
be, more even than the nativboro
American, can show his loyalty and
aoand Judgment, by proclaiming the
justs sea of the allied straggle tor
freedom.
The thought is very forcefully and
accurately examplified in a state
ment recently made by Prof. Mas E.
Meyer of the University of Missouri.
It doubtless represents ' accurately
the attitude of thousands and thou
sand of American citizens of Teu
tonic ' extraction who are loyal
Americans before they are any
thing else, and who in the pres
ent districting crisis, have not lost
their reasoning faculties or their
sense of perspective and real values.
The sentiments expressed are de
serving of a careful perusal.
"I am thoroughly familiar with
the present organization of the Ger
man social body and with its cul
mination, the present German gov
ernment. I have lived in Germany
25 years. I was horn there. I was
educated there. I spent 19 years of
my life in German educational insti
tutions, from the kindergarten to
the research laboratory. - I confess
that at the beginning of this war my
sympathies were divided. The Oer
man nation had many justifiable
complaints against ' Its neighbors.
But whatever wrongs the German
nation may have suffered In the past
from other . nations, the German
government daring this war has had
more than one opportunity to have
than aet right and to terminate the
war. Its actions show that world
dominations, not justice, is Its alni.
I sympathize with the German peo
ple, but not with their government.
Perhaps you would appreciate your
American citizenship better if, like
me, you had been born and brought
up in Germany. If Germany wins
tbis war, 50 years hence its govern
ment will rule the American peo
ple, I do not want my children to
be put under the yoke which I es-;
caped toy coming to 'America. My'
hope Is that the German nation, my '
relatives and friends, will enter In-!
to an International organization for;
peace and Justice. But the German ;
government, this fearful danger to
our future, can be overthrown only,
by raising armies, not by sitting

1-ant sprlntf, through the co-operation
of the Joxeiihlne County Bank,
the Urania I'aaa llnnklnn Company
and the C. A O. C railroad, and the
Wlnotrtmt Implement company,
theie were sent out over one hun
dred packaiina of il corn to farm
ers on condition that each fanuar
bring an exIilMl to a corn show to
he held at (irauu I'ait. this fall.
There Were 35 fanner reapunded
with exhibits aa follows:
Thirty with ten ears each from
nou-lrrlgated land.
Twenty-fve with vn ears each
from Irrigated land.
Twehe with single twrs.
Five with silaxe.
Four with shelled corn.
The exhibit waa a credit to Jose
phine county and confirms the al-'
ready admitted fact that wa can
grow corn In Jonephlne' county.
The Judnes, C. 11. 1-umklo and P.
J. Shlnn, of Ashland, and who by the,
way, .used lo ralao corn In Iowa,
made very favorable comment on the;
exhibit
A little study of the exhibits
brought out the fart that more rare
la need In the selection of early ma-'
luring seed, and that perhaps mors'
may be accomplished by (election '
from our present home grown varie
ties than from (he Introduction ol
seed from other localities, which
have to become acclimated before '
giving satisfactory results.
The exhibits will remain In place;
tor a few days, so that any one who I
could not get In last week may have I
a chance to see them. IH us begin j
now for a bigger and better shot;
next year. ,
