ALBANY. OREGON. SATURDAY. JANUARY 31
GERMANY AND WILHELM
o
" Immediately after the allied council had asked Holland
to surrender Wilhelm Hohenzollern, the cables announced
that "profound anxiety and astonishment reign in Pan
German circles in Germany over the official demand of the
Allies for the extradition from Holland of the former Ger
man emperor." The German people in general seem to have
been shocked and angered by the demand.
Why they should take it in that way must remain a
mystery to non-Germans. They should not be surprised,
because they have been told all along what was to be done.
Moreover, they themselves have a legitimate grievance
against their former Kaiser, becuase of the tragic plight he
got them into. And legally, if not ethically, it is their duty
to help the Allies to get him.
Germany agreed, as one of the terms of the peace treaty,
to surrender Wilhelm and other malefactors guilty of bar
barous breaches of international law in their war activities.
.If Wilhelm were in Germany today, it would be incumbent
tn the German Government to turn him over as a matter of
course. Inasmuch as he is a fugitive from Germany, it be
came necessary to apply to Holland, which as a sovereign
nation has the right to disregard the request if it chooses.
What Holland may refuse the Allies she would not be likely
to refuse Germany, since it is peculiarly Germany's affair.
If Germany, therefore, were inclined to do her duty and
fulfil her pledges, in letter or in spirit. Germany herself
would ask Holland to extradite Wilhelm, and would then
turn him over to the allied court for trial.
That, however, is probably too much to expect. Ger
many prefers to take advantage of a technicality, with Hol
land's connivance, and protect her own worst enemy be
cause he is a German.

Americana are eating 8 per cent

Portland Post Master
The primary impulse behind the re-j
moval of Postmaster Myers was the
consuming desire of the leaders of
the democratic party, or most af thrm,
to get rid of him. His rapacity for
making trouble was unlimited; his
gift of unpopularity was great. He
was a party liability, and they have
striven long and hard to convince the
administration at Washington that it
must act, if the party in Oregon was
to be saved from complete demoralisa
tion. Oregonian.

Future Handbook
.The future handbook on twentieth
century politics will contain this def
inition: "Parlor Bolshevist: A .tare
species of the politico-genus homo,
originating in the spume of the
great war. A plush covered, polit
ical anemic, singular in appearance
and perverted in principle, with more
money than brains and a tendency
toward loose morals." Portland Telegram.
It is difficult to find people at home, complains a census
enumerator. He says he has had to make repeated calls in
order to finish his job. He was a city enumerator, in a large
city at that, and prabably what he says has only a limited ap
plication the country over. He declares that in apartment
houses especially he made call after call and could not get
audience with a majority of the residents listed there. He
deduces therefrom that we are becoming a nation of rovers,
jazzers and home-shunners.
Of Course the enumerator is Ofnprali7incr tnn KrnoHlu
from limited observation. That he found few families at!
home in the modern apartment house is not an unexpected !
uisciosure. ine wans 01 tne ordinary ctfy apartment are
not very companionable, and even the most confirmed home
Dody is to be pardoned if the street or the movie palace af
fords more appealing attratcions. But the enumerator
should ask for a transfer to a small town, to a country sec
tion, or even to a more distinctly residence district of the big
city, and give himself an opportunity of reviving his faith in
our home folks. Beneath a million hospitable roofs he could
find at any hour he elects to call a wife, a mother and a fam
ily awaiting the.return of a beloved worker or wanderer.
