The remark savors of the contempt entertaMned by tho feudal nobility of the dark ages for their intellectual super iors. It is typical of the German militarists arrogan atti tude towards the muted States today. i The Prussian jugger still has the barbaric ideal of a! half thousand years ago his viewpoint has not advanced' with the centuries. Koree, brutality and might are hisi gospel as they were his ancestors emerging from the forest wilds. 1 le regards all efforts as wasted if not contributory to this end. Because the United States is not bristling with anna-' nient and does not prostitute its energies by concentrating upon bloody conquest, we are "idiotic Yankees," for to Von Papon's mind it is sheer idocy not to regard war as the (hiel'end of man. i Von Papon's expression was an honest ono and doubt-' less expresses tho convictions of a large portion of his coun-i trymen, both abroad and in the United States. Otherwise j wo would not see his fellow countrymen who have fore-i sworn allogienco to the Kaiser, use their American citizen ship as a cloak of protection play their devotion to the country tlioy repudiated and at the same time express their contempt for and their dis-. lovali v to the nation to which Von Papon's opinion is justified to the extent that the Yankess are really idiotic in not providing proper punishment for disloyalty and for permitting foreign em bassies and their attaches to meddle in the nation's a flail's, cause industrial disturbances and supplant American laws with the mandate of distant kings. In t.hat they tolerate tho Von Papons, Yankees are really idiotic. COMMUNICATION. To the Tit inyer of tho City of Med- foid LmlleH and (lentlenion, You no doubt uro already Interested In and familiar wllh tho proposed re-boud-liiK of the City of Medford for to tuko up the outstanding Medford Ilonds Issued under the Danerott Act, and to refund to the property owners, who have so willingly con tributed to pnylug tho public debt. Now I would like to call your at tention to the fact that (Ills pavement Is u public debt, and not n private, holiest obligation. Tho Streets of the City of Medford belongs to the City which tho recoids will show, so does tho paving laid on said streets, why contend for oue mo ment, that paving on public property laid for the benefit of the public uud used exclusively by the Public, Is prl vate Property, and that prlvato ludl vlduals should pay for samo by ill rod taxation, or special assessments? The Constitution of the U. S. guar antees equal rights to all and special prlvllego to none and It also guaran tees to Its Citizens, property rights and If we do live In Medford, Med ford Is still subject to h higher law than one laid down by n few to beuo flt certain classes. I tun Informed that the Supreme Court of the Stnte at Washington In a decision roudered some time ago, hold that you could not take prlvato property for to pny for public Im provements laid on public property, I am also Informed, that this has been tho outcome of 11 number of other suits that have b'cu stalled In dif ferent localities to take home private citizens propel ty tar to pay a direct assessment for a public improvement, luld on Public Property, so why should we think for one moment that our Homos or our property would ever be confiscated to pay for Med ford Paved Streets? nnd I hero nnd now Chntauge an Law) or In the City or Medford to start suit In behalf of said Clt to collect nil) part of these paving nHseMiuunt elthur priuclval or luteiost b) foreclosing on the nbbut Ing mpcrty, and I will w rlslit hero for the benefit of all consumed that I am must heartily willing to ht made the defendant in such n suit and I will furnish the ptopeit) lo be used to test the validlt) of satit ux- FOttfllUOUUt. 1 urn no lawyer nor have I ever studied Imw but I am a Umer unit j a resident of th Pair CIO of Mford, and I want to soy further for the benefit of some people who might qiiosllun my houiMty and luted It v ,01111 1 pay my lioiiont nnd Just debts both nrlnrlmil und Interest and I must 0in(ostt that I have been foolish enough In the past, to pay some debts conUniftod by the other fellow nnd tor luV benefit Host misunderstand u now 1 lefer tto what I have paid oa Medfords io ChIM imvIuk Ilonds, snd 1 will a here and now that 1 urn done psMiik under this asueseutent lln and no HHHMt of eiMixliiK r nitsiiro that tuny be brought to boar on me will ever elklt nit) more ojf the Iodk green frvut )ur humble servant, un til I know (ti m uortslst) thst wlnn J pay lit) prsHrt) will bi- forwver re UssihI from undr the bonded iudfiii ednros as tin-u red U tbt Cii of Mod -,' ' JoHri A.
