Allen Property Sold to Americans.
No civilian service during the war
bad as farrenvhlng effect upon the life
and wall being of the American public
as that performed by Mr. Palmer a*
th* custodian of alien property. Cn
dor his administration the vast and
essential Industries which Germany
controlled In the United State* were
taken aver and operated during the
war for the benefit of this country, and
are now being sold—muny of them
have been sold already—to bona fide
American citizens. In fad, under Hr.
Palmer's direction the entire German
industrial organization lu the United
Rratwe haa been thoroughly Arnerlcnn
Irod.
Whon the office of Allen Property
Custodian wn* created tinder the Trad
Lug with the Enemy Act of Congress
It was thought that Its duties would

aptrlt of Ansarlcanisra and determined
t* use It ho the fullest advantage of
his fellow countrymen.
When th# act wns passed there was
little accurate or definite knowledge
of tho extent of German Investment*
In the United States. While they were
known to ho large, they were not gen
arally suspected of being either power
fnl ar unfriendly to American Imer
aots. Consequently th# original mea*
gr# made the cuatodian a mer# coti
#*rvator, restricting his powers of dls
position of enemy property to ease*
whar# It was necessary to mak# sal*'
In order t# prevent wnste and to pr»
teet tho property. If this situation
had remained unchanged this country
would have found itself iu the anom¬
alous position of carefully protecting
for the enemy the greal Industrial
and commercial nrmy which Germany
hnd planted here with hostile Intern
More than that, we would have been
feroed to account at the end of th*
war for enormous profits made by
many of these businesses, profits du#
almost wholly to "the war condition*
for which their owner* and their owa
era’ friends were responsible.
Palmer Put T«eth In Law.

Job, had teeth put Into the law. Be

PRINTING IN KOREA
Back in the beginning of tha fif¬
teenth century, the Korean prin
ter sat eross-leggedin front of a
“form »» and “pulled proofs.” And
even in that far-off day he used met- |
al type not so very different from
the type used now. The strange Or:
ental characters stood out from th»
upper eerfac* of each piece of type
and tha lower surface wu aurxad
so that it would cling firmly to th*
bed of beeswax into which it was
sunk. The printer inked the type, laid
the paper on it,and gently brushed
the paper with a piece of felt. Thu*
he pulled proof* et the ret* of 1,
ooo a day.
Fifty pieces of this type ere now
in the American Museum of Natural
History. New York, and 50 more are
in a museum in England.

To those receptive candidates for the
Presidency who have been ‘‘thrusting
aside the crown” and demanding that
delegates to th* natlenal convantian*
he left nnlnstructed and free to vote
for whomsoever they please, the doc¬
trine enunciated by Attorney General
Fulmer at Harrisburg Is likely to earn*
a* a distinct shock. Mr. Painter In¬
dulges in no camouflage, but aa.vs, with
all the openneas of a leap year pro¬
posal, "I can see no Impropriety lu the
frank statement that I would be plead¬
ed if the Democratic voters af my stale
shall see (It In the primary election t*
declare their preference for my nomi¬
nation by San Francisco convention.”
In both political parties there are a
number of candidates for th* Presi¬
dency who are actively engaged, under
cover. In trying to round up sufficient
strength to land the prize when the
moment for compromise arrives. They
do not wish to have delegatee instruct¬
ed for them: on th* contrary, they ad
vacate sending all delegates uainatrtsct
ed Not so with the Attorney General.
Once he Jumped Into the presidential
coutest. he went skirmishing for dele
