The whole civilized world has been horrified in time and again by the butcheries of the innocent by the Germans, both in the air and in the sea. Just such moves as that proposed in Chicago would justify everything Germany has done in the way of outrages.

A PLACE IN THE SUN
Consider the lizard. He too demands a place in the sun. The bigger, dirtier and fatter he is, the larger and more conspicuous is the place in the sun he demands. Often to secure this place it becomes necessary for the big and fat and dirty lizard to kill and crowd out many small and weak lizards. This the big and fat and dirty lizard considers all right. He figures that it would be a tremendous loss, a waste of energy, for the great sun to cast his beautiful rays on contemptible little lizards even if the rays would make them grow in beauty, in size and in power. No, the big and fat and dirty lizard has the right idea about the place in the sun. It belongs to him who can take it, even though he must crush many of the young and weak and innocent in the process of punishment.

Any other principle is based on a sickening sentiment.

To be immune from punishment for any unlawful acts committed by their territory, dupe in the surrounding areas. The leaders should be satisfied with attempting to intimidate the courts of Washington but they will make their own noose if they take in any more territory.— Coeur d'Alene Press.
