THAT FAMOUS POTASH BILL
Considerable exeitmen! was stirred up In Alliance last week by
the publication of an article (or .several articles) in The Alliance
Times referring to the bill- House Rot No. 9 introduced in the Ne
braska House of Representatives for the purpose of living the state
Board of Educational Landi and Funds authority to granl mineral
leases on state lands, in accordance with the call of the governor for
the special session and the recommendation of the supreme court of
the state.
This hill was introduced by the editor of The Herald Represen
tative Lloyd Thomas and several other members from the western
end of the state. Sonic parties, on reading the tirsl draft of the hill,
as Introduced and referred to the Judiciary Committee of the House,
took snap JtldffRft nt without fully advising themselves as to the situ
ation and set up a howl that was eagerly grabbed by politicians, who
were seeking to make political capital out of the legislative session.
One thiiiK was plainly apparent in the legislature- the same men in
the House who were leading the right to kill the all-important and
necessary sedition hill were the ones who sought to kill the mineral
leasing or "potash" hill, as it was called.
The mineral leasing hill went to the Judiciary committee, where
public hearings were given. These hearings were attended by repre
sentatives of all sides interested in the leasing of school lands. The
result was that a hill was passed which is, undoubtedly, fair to all
parties concerned, A copy of the hill, as ii passed both branches of
the legislature, and as it was signed by the governor, is printed else
where in The Herald this week. Interested parties should read it
carefully.
We are also publishing elsewhere in The Herald copies of corre
spondence referring to the hill. This show our stand plainly on the
matter and, as we stated in our letter, we have no apologies to offer
for our action at any time as a member of the Nebraska legislature.
Lack of space prevents us from publishing this week copies of other
correspondence relating to the matter. This matter and some further
Interesting sidelights on the potash situation will he published in later
issues of The Herald.
It is interesting to note thai "Bludy Hen," the "terrible one,"
who rules over the destinies of the Times, was ou1 again with his
threats- this time it was with a tar huckel in one hand, a hunch of
feathers in the other, and a brush probably that old whitewash
brush, in his hippocket. The feathers were apparently fresh
We concede to every man a right to his honest opinions We
demand that the other man give us a right to our own honest opinions.
The man who looks at things from a selfish viewpoint oftentimes for
gets that there are two sides to every question, with the result that he
begins to imagine himself the judge, the jury and the public.
:o:
SHOULD PLANT SPRING WHEAT
K. L. Pierce, the Hemingford banker, urges that the farmers of
Box Butte county plant a large acreage of spring wheat. We agree
with Mr. Pierce and from present indications look for a larger acre
age than ever before.
It is, indeed, a regrettahle fact that after the huge potato crop of
bust year it was impossible to get suflicient transportation facilities
to handle the crop. This proved discouraging to the farmers who
had made special efforts to cany out the requests of those interested
in the production of foodstuffs. The result will he in Nebraska's
"potato belt" this season that the acreage of potatoes will he much
smaller.
Mr. Pierce believes that sixty per cent of the wheat planted
should he macaroni wheat. It stands hail well and if amber maca
roni is planted, will sell for $2.10 per bushel, as against common
macaroni which sells for g2.09 per bushel. There are two other VI
rieties of wheat which yield better than macaroni and have a higher
Hour value. Forty per cent should be planted to these rarities. There
is plenty of seed wheat in the counly.

THE ENEMY

By William Allen White
(Mr. While, editor, author and King of
the war and all of it ninny angles while)
on an extended visit to the various battle
linen ur the Allied armies.)
Back of the Uermun lines every
ounce of food is conserved, and dis
tributed with fairly equitable pre
cision; every yard of cloth Is num

htrength of the empire. Every penny
weight of German coal is handled
with scientific care, and the one end
and aim nf all this autocratic control
of food and clothing and heat is the
v inning of the war. There la no other
purpose in the German mind. Every
German mark is a German soldier;
every grain of gold is doing its full
share to work out that, indomitable
purpose.
Here in America we must realize
that the war will not be won on any
front, but In our own hearts. This Is
a clash of civilizations. We must de- j
velop in our hearts a democratic pur
pose as strong and as carefully direct
ed as this autocratic purpose of Ger
many. We, too, must make soldiers

knee to knee, hand to hand, struggle
on the front, which, after all, only
reflects the strength of our convic
tion, then our civilisation will go
down. To fall to support our soldiers
with ammunition, with food, with
clothing, with coal, will weaken them
for the great confllrt at the great mo
ment, and that weakening will come
from our hearts at home. It will
come if we are slow with our finan
cial support of the men. The Liberty

we home s(a ers can prae'lrally show
our purpose. Our patriotism will be
Di ensured by our performance toward
the Liberty Loan. What we lend to
our country in this time of need will

world conquest is threatening ua.
