Ami the greater the liberty whieh these nations extend to their citizens, the greater the in spiration seems to be. No. there ia no cause why Ger many should cultivate a hatred for America or for the American people. While it is true that very many Germans have left the Fatherland and have elected to lieconN* citizens of the United Slates, they did so of their own free wills and have lieen treated with th«* same nlisolut«- equality with which our native born or adopted citizens of other nations are treated. They enjoy equal pro tection of our laws and are expect- ed to assume the same responsibility of citixenship which ia required of other dtiaena. They enjoy the same fr«-«-di'tn of speech, of civic and political honors as others, etc., and lie it said to their honor, these Ger man Americana, aa a rule, are most excellent citixena. They are indus trious, law abiding and g>x*i neigh bors and the vast majority of them ar«* true patriota and are willing to defend th«* (lag of their adoption. They arc willing to live up to the requirements of the <»ath they sub scribed to when they were granted citixenship papers. They are honor able descendants of the old Germanic fathers of the days before Bismarck began to teach a new Germanism. Now the present German govern ment is endeavoring to teach her citizens to hate America and her government. Not only does she attempt to inspire thia gospel of hate at home, but reaches out and endeavors to inspire this haired The German people are to lie pit- tied and deserve the sympathy of the other nations. It is most un fortunate that any form of govern ment in them* modern days can so h«M>dwink her pe«>ple and hold them in such blind subjection that such a bloody causeless war is possible, It should result in the downfall of every automatic government on earth. and. no doubt, several hundred envelop«**, we publish it because It1 eopiea were printed.

Now you know. Mr Butler, no paving com pany can furnish material and lay pavement at this price. 30 cents will not pay for hauling the crushed rock, say nothing about the cement and labor. Instead of the coat of this strip of Pacific highway being but >45.240 as you stated, Mr. Butler, you will find the cost will be nearer >260.000 and it will be cheap at that If Ur this sum you will add the coat of preparing the road tied, drainage, etc.. >500,000 would he nearer the correct figure. We agree with you. Mr. Butler that by our present method of road building, we get but about two-bits worth of road for the dollar expend ed. But we say. why do you. as county commissioner, allow these conditions to maintain? Why do you not require the supervisors you appoint to make good? Why do you not require them to deliver the goods and build a dollar’s worth of road for each dollar expended? J. F.
