It this family is so thin skinned that they object to have the press, an avowed enemy of the German army, call them Huns, it is well that they discontinue their subscription, be cause we will never curry favor from the admirers of Huns as long as the Stars and Stripes float from any flag pole in the world. We are glad that we know of this family’s position; it may be of value to know their senti ment. 1 rue, it is ignorance that caused this family to be offended so easily, but their hearts are with the Huns or the imaginary slur would not have cut them so deep. ing against the free trade party that has persistently refused to restore the protective tariff and large revenue producing rates of duty on imported articles, and thus compel the foreign producer who sells his goods in this country in competition with our own domestic producers, to help pay the expenses of the war. In the three years of the Under wood free trade tariff customs re ceipts have fallen below 8 per cent of the value of imports. If in these three years a protective tariff had been in force, a billion dollars more of reven ue would have been collected at the custom houses, and a billion dollars less of petty and vexatious tifcxes would have been imposed. Charge it to the free trade party! Two Sea Fights—and a Difference. Major-General Bell's Confession. There have been two sea fights in the North sea within a few weeks. The difference in the spirit of the sailors who were victorious is an in dex to the temper in which the na tions concerned are making war. When German raiders sank ships of a neutral convoy, no sooner had the Norwegian sailors of these merchant ships taken to the life boats than the German cruisers deliberately fired upon them. When a German raider and its con- voy of armed trawlers were destroyed by British war vessels, no sooner was the victory won than the British sail or's set themselves to the rescue of such German sailors on the armed vessels as were still afloat. This difference of temper is the real explanation of the fact that we are the allies of Great Britian and the enemies of Germany and see no chance of permanent peace until the temper of the German people is changed.—Boston Congrcgationalist. Major General BeW, commander of Camp Upton finds confession good for the soul in the matter of President Wilson’s deliberation in carrying the country into war. To a great company gathered in the 71st regiment armory in New York City, General Bell said: I must confess to you I was of those who thought the president was wait ing too long before he asked for a de claration of war on Germany. Now I want to make another confession. As a professional soldier for 40 years, I now believe he waited just the right time. 1 honestly believe if the presi dent had asked for war sooner the people would not have been solidly behind him, But, thank God, they are now. Spoken like a soldier and a patriot. General Bell sees the nation solidly behind its leafier, and there it must re main. “The Meanest Man in Town.” ----- o Washington, Nov. 25—Imports of cheese from Europe virtually have ceased, with the result that the South American product, heretofore an un known variety, is appearing in quan tity on United States market. Figures made public today by the department of commerce showed that imports of European cheese amounted to only 99 pounds in August, as compared with 63,800,000 pounds purchased in the fiscal year 1914. Argentina, which ex ported no cheese to this country in 1916, sold American buyers 448,000 pounds in August. The following sermon appeared in the Albany Democrat which was de livered by Rev. George H. Bennett, pastor of the Albany M. E. church. We believe it is worthy of publication “Pay me what thou owest” was the text, and “The Meanest Man in Town” was the subject. “Who is the meanest man in town? The deadbeat. What is his name? His name is legion. He is not a new spe cies of the genus Homo—he is as old as the race. No more troublesome element is found in society than the man in debt, who can but will not pay.
