Dear Editor: - ; '

thank you for the way you wrote

some people go and do wrong,
hut take it from me, there Is a
good reason, .and not only be
cause one gets "easy money,"
because money obtained in this
wise Is not so easy aa it seems.
Neither is tt" for the Bport of the
game of "putting one over" on

GERMANY MUST LEARNv
THE Gerninn people apparently have no bettor nmler
standing of American sentiment at tlnj end of the
Avar, than the American people had of lUrnian sentiment
at the beginning. .- .''-'. -. : r , . -
Dispatches frcin Berlin state that, the German people
believe America will never allow the provisions of the
peaee treaty 'to be put into effort: Instead of believing
the peaee terms are too severe the Anieriean people as a
whole probably feel they are not severe enough. ,
The American people believe Germany responsible for
starting the most terrible conflict in history. Thev also
believe that the incredible cruelties. nnd barbarities of the
war were of German origin.
Any interpretation-of the
to Germany, would be summarily repudiated on tins side
of the water.1 Germany complains she will suffer. The
Anieriean people, believe she. should suffer. They feel
that the punishment should be so severe and so lasting,
that the lessori hi Germany will not be forgotten in this
generation or any generation to.cmne. 1 V '
- -
Germany humiliated and Germany broken is to the
American- mind essential to the future peace and security
of the world. -"This attitude is not regarded as one of
vindictiveness but of moral justification. In the parlance
of the street, Germany is merely getting what was coming
to her. " ,- . , . ? "
A soft peaee, a sentimentally conciliatory peaee,- would
to the American conception of the German nature, mean
an unsatisfactory peace, a peace that would allow the
Prussian junker to parade the avenues once more, and
proclaim his justification of force and f rightfulness.
' Germany apparently has learned little since 1914.
America has learned a great deal. Germany may appeal
to the sympathies of the "dreamy pacifists" across the
Atlantic till Doomsday, but the game that worked in 1914
won't work today. Uncle Sam has his eyes open and has
cut hjs baby teeth. '. . -
PROHIBITION "WORKS.
TiERE is little consolation for the anti-dry forces in
the records of prohibition itx American cities. A
series of articles in Colliers deal in vital statistics regard
ing the actual effects of prohibition in the country to date.
Prom the small rural coinnnmities to cities like Detroit
the record is the same, more money in the banks, higher
profits in business, less crime, more productive labor ami
general satisfaction among the people. The laws have
been evaded, bootleggers have thrived, but after all the
records show these as mere incidents. As a system, ac
cording to the articles, prohibition has worked.
- Query, what lias become of thp partv who promised
to buy the P. and E. railroad if Medford raised $30,000?
