Hurtver, Maybe the Jingo
Newspaper Doesn’t Know
What a Pacifist Really Is
f A meeting of citiiens of Detroit, an
j Bouncing themselves, quite fmnkly, “del
(gates of the amalgamated German-
I American. Austro-American and Hun-
American societies,” was quickly
termed a meeting of “pacifists” by De
troit s jingoistic morning newspaper.
The jingoistic morning newspaper was)
i quick to term this a meeting of “pacif
■ ists‘ because some resolutions adopted
by it were distinctly un-American and
i, Alrtinctly ill-advised.
The resolutions deplore the entrance
of the United States into the war c» the
ride of England and charged President
Wilson with having abandoned the Mon
roe doctrine for “Wilson s doctrine.”
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the announcement on the part of the
. German government that it considers it
self no longer bound by the laws intend
ed to safeguard neutral nations on the
was.
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the fact that the German government
has turned outlaw and pirate.
In no place do the resolutions deplore
the fact that the German government is
guilty of practices which have resulted .
in a state of mind and a temper in this
country that the most peaceful of its cit
ixens have been unable to hold longer in
check
In no place do the resolutions blame
GERMANY for the entrance of the
United States into the war on the side
of England.
In no place do the resolutions take
cognizance of the fact that the lives lost
fat the sinking of American ships were
the lives of peaceable American citizens.
The president of the Turnverein, jn St.
Joseph. Mo., has ordered all German
flags and portraits of notable Germans
removed from Turner hall.
In their places have been placed the
gqd, white and blue and pictures of
American statesmen.
“St. Joseph Gennan-Americans are
loyal," said the president of the Turn
verein “They are ready to help their
adopted country in every way.”
That sounds more like it, and exhibits
reach better taste.
We’d Dislike To Be The
Kaiser When It Comes To
The Day of Settlement.
■■■■■" -
Isn't it really a question with the
Kaiaer of how long the financial wheel will
go around without greasing?
And isn’t this a pretty heavy question
to deal with and pretty vital when a peo
ple are hungry and the cupboard is low. ?
When the war lord has wanted war
funds, he has issued war bonds.
The people have bought these bonds.
Then the Kaiser has used the money to
pay soldiers and the wages of workers in
government munitions plants and in other
government jobs.
Thus, the wheel turns so that the peo
ple's money is always circulating from the
people to the government, back to the
people and again to the government, the
people finally having bonds representing
their money and their services.
The Kaiser s wheel has so gone 'round
and round until he has about 12 billions
of bonds outstanding in five popular loans,
and now it is a loan of two billions of
dollars.
Now. * wheel like this will go ’round
Mid 'round indefinitely, provided it is
greased, the grease so-called l>eing inter
est, which, in the Kaiser’s case, amounts
to some 600 millions a yeai.
A bond that defaults on interest is an
object of suspicion, and the Kaiser has
but two ways in which to raise ir.tere-t.
One way is to take it out of the new
loan.
The other is to raise it from current
taxation.
The first way would leave him only
•bout twelve hundred millions for war
purpose and would also be dangerous as
ahowmg that the wheel had begun to go|
•round and ’round solely on its own mo
mentum.
He has undoubtedly heavily staked
Austria. Turkey and Bulgaria.
The securities of these countries cannot
•ppear choice to even the most obtuse of
Gormans
To raise the interest by taxation must
tocouragr a people already standing
about all they can bear, under the high
Cost and scarcity of necessaries, and who
hsvt already sent most of their money
fttru the wheel aforesaid.
The promised victory and big war in-
Anmtitie- are farther off then ever and
iha Gmrauu ueoia* mast be seriously um
TMUmOAY, MARCH 29, 1917
sidering what they’ll have in the way of
purchasing power w hen they get thru.
If the wheel goes ’round and 'round
much longer, they’ll have nothing save
bonds, and they may be repudiated.
It is one thing for a people to stand
more and more taxation during a war.
It is quite another thing to make them
stand it when peace comes, and we should
think that the Kaiser would l>e worrying
awfully about the day of settlement.
Judjre Jeffries Is
Entitled by His Record to
Re-election to the Bench
The Times believes that faithful and
efficient public service should be recog
nized and rewarded.
It believes, too, that in the important
matter of our judgeships, if an official
has conducted his office in the l>est in
terests of society, he should l>e returned
just as often as his desire to continue
should prove the city’s good fortune.
Edward J. Jeffries, candidate for
judge of the recorder's court, has a
splendid record in that office.
He is peculiarly equipped for the re
sponsibility of this important place in 1
our municipal government.
In addition to generally recognized ca
pacity for the efficient discharge of the
heavy responsibilities of the court, Judge
Jeffries is equipped with a fine brand of
humanity without which in our judges,
there can be no justice.
Society has been benefitted by the sum
mary dispatch by the judge of offenders
for whom prison terms have been neces
sary to serve the deterrent end of the
law. but while men have been “sent’
from this court by him, they have also
been “saved” by him both to themselves
and to society.
Judge Jeffries has proven to be thef
right man in the right place.
He deserves the additional term he
seeks as the reward we bespeak fori
faithful and efficient service.
The Well-Heeled Romanoff,
And What Will Russia Do?
It is estimated that ex-Czar Nicholas
personal fortune approximates $2,000.-
000,000. among his holdings being near
ly 700,000.000 acres of Russian land.
How high does the spirit of equality
and justice rule in Russia? How deep
do-The roots of her revolution strike?
The Romanoff family got those $2,-
009,000,000 by inheritance from czars
and thru the power to take as they
pleased.
It is more wealth, more land than
should be permitted to comprise a per
sonal fortune in Russia, or anywhere
else. • t
It means suppression of equality and
defeat of justice.
When one human animal, or bug. or
beast, or bird, or fish, piles up billions
when millions of his fellows are in dire
need, the condition cries aloud for arbi
trary' division thru force of numbers.
Laws, arguments, forms of govern
ment failing, what is referred to as brute
strength takes hold.
Is Russia’s desire for equality and
justice so strong that she will take for
herself what has v «een wrung from her
| during the centuries?

A number of readers of the Ad Mirror have again railed the attention
of this department to another advrrtlaesnnnt of the Mareeau Jewelry shop
which i* conducting a 50-cent sale on phony gems and Jewelry
The advertisement boldly states, as it did some time ago, that these
gems DEFY DETECTION from the genome'
The Ad Mtrror has published two criticism* on this firm's lying adver
g and 'here i- !t»»!e more to be said o»her than the fact that the
Mareeau shop s ad- have not changed in tone nor character to any appre
ciable ex'enl
Anyone who believes such portions of the Mareeau ads as statements
that "Msrrfau gems DEFY DETECTION from the genuine” after SEEING
this Junk” would buy the city hall or a gold brick.
The Marreau shop is selling rings purporting to be normally worth
from 11.50 to $5 00. for W rents.
The a- ertion that they DEFY DETEC TION from the genuine Is a LIE!
The Marorau shop knows this.
And It knows that when It take* your money on the strength of this
statement. It is accepting money under FALSE PRETENSES
In one place In Wedne«day’s ad this statement is made:
• And remember, after this sale is over. It will be Impossible to obtain
Marcea . scientific gems In i>etrolt at ANY price! NOW—If you hurry you
can get $1.50 to $5.50 rings set with Marreau stones at 50 cents!"
Wow! to .
And two wows’
Mo-t of the force of this assertion is In the exclamation point.
Os course if the Marreau shop goes out of business- as it says It
because of an expiring lease—you will not be able to buy MARCEAU
g* ms. but never fear, there are all kinds of store* along Woodward ave.
hat are selling the same phony Jewelry at practically the same prices.
And you won t need to break an arm getting to the sale either.
"We must vacate —thousands of rings are in our stock." shrieks the ad
Th*» Marreau shop has been on the verg** of vacating for about four
weeks
The nhop is one of the smallest of its kind in the city.
li* stock seems to be lasting a long time.

fart that many who think them

mg merely from psychic a
condition-more readily curable than
ordinary ~ptlep*y
Strictly speaking, indeed, psychic

of it as p*eudo-epi|ep*y. or false

Thou fool, that which thou sowest is

A grain of wheat may livo in one of
two ways—it may be planted and grow
other grains, or it may be made into
bread and nourish men. In both caae» it
must be destroyed before it is rendercki

All living things emerge from the

Every dollar of profit is the spent life

Life ia an endless procession. Al) liv

up again having received the strange
baptism of new life. The plants, the
flocks, the human creatures of today all
move toward decay; a short time and
everything that now is alive will he gone,
to make way for the next order of living
things.
Life is not a continuous stream; it is
a pulsation, a coming and going.
You eat to sustain life, but every

From the death of the old credulities

It is of great concern to men how

it ought to occupy them still more how

institution ceases to minister to life and
becomes an instrument of death. The
thing is to got rid of it with as little
