Dates, of the Journal, was To years of age last Saturday. June 2, ami in honor of the event, v.e were the recipient of many useful and valuable tokens from our friend; at home and some from friends abroad, and congratulation letters from friends of former years, amonjc whom were Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the house of representa tives; Hon. A. M. Dockeny, third as sistant postmaster general; Hon. E. S. Carver and Hon. John C. Dawson of Grant City, Mo. Mr. Dawson is president of the Citizens' hank, and Mr. Garvcy- has represented his coun ty in the Missouri legislature for several years, and in the earlier days was well known over Missouri as a prominent politician. We also re ceived letters from Attorney General Willis Reed, Ex-Governor John II. Morchead, Licutcnar.t Governor Ed gar Howard, and last hut not least, ly any means, our good friend, Sen ator G. M. Hitchcock, who has so aldy represented Nebraska in the upper house of congress. We also desire to return our most sincere and grateful thanks to home friends who so liber ally remembered us on this auspicious occasion, with the hope that we may be able to remember them in a like event. It was really one of tha greatest pleasures of our life to lit thus remembered, the memory of which will be with us to our dyinj; day. Again we return our sincere gratitude, and may your shadow.', never grow less. :o: More work for the road drag. :o: The Young American is no coward. :o: All who register don't have to go now. :o- Nothing more charming that the June brides. -:o: Keep it before the people buy a Liberty bond. -:o: Too much is enough of anything rain included. :o: "ttnsiness as Usual" should be strictly adhered to. :o: It is the fellow who opposes con scription that is the coward. :o: If we could only turn back the cal endar, everybody would be doing it. :o: In the language of Hamlet, there is something rotten in the Omaha po lice gaug. :o: Rachclors make very poor soldiers, because they arc not used to fighting at home. :o: We tax the poor man's necessaries, and now we seem afraid to tax the rich man's luxuries. :o: Omaha is the fourth city in enlist ments for the navy. Good for the Ne braska metropolis. :o: It seems that mo.t of the business men are favorable to holding the car nival on Main street. :o: Wc saw two men wearing straw hats Sunday. They looked funny ant too bold for any use. :o: The Omaha bunch of officers are in a dilapidated condition, and it looks like some of them will have to "ster down and out" before peace is rc stored. . :o: There is nothing in the world that a young girl- needs more than a mother, but it is a sad fact that there is many a child whose maternn parent is not even a good imitation mother. THAU IN ADVANCE DRAFTING THE COAL INDUSTRY In its plea for government regula tion of the coal industry, including price-fixing, the Federal Trade , com mission testifies to conditions of con fusion which have operated severely against consumers and in favor of unscrupulous producers and dealers. Although shipments of bituminous coal last year increased from 443, 000,000 to 500,000,000 tons, nearly 15 per cent, they fell short of the de mand and stocks in storage were de pleted. The inequitable distribution of cars, delays in delivery, added to the greed of mine owners, who are 'demanding prices from 50 per cent to several hundred per cent over the cost of their output," resulted in great profits to certain operators and hardship to consumers, industrial and domestic. The comm'f.siou also com plains of the "intolerable abuses thai marked the activities of certain ele ments of the anthracite trade during recent months," to which it had pre viously directed a pointed warning. This situation cannot be permitted to continue if the nation is to prosc- ule the war with vigor and clliciency. oal mining is a basic industry which must be conducted in such a way as to contribute to the use of the na tion's full streigth. There must be complete co-operation between the coal operators and the railroads, and f it cannot be secured by voluntary .tction on both sides, the government, in furtherance of the policy of na tional defense, must intervene and as- umc control. To maintain coal prices at reason able level and to put a stop to extor- iunatc practices of producers and distributors should be just as much a pait of the government's function as . war power as to insure industrial uul military activity in other direc- ions. New York World. -:o:- West Virginia legislators have just incubated a new law requiring every able-bodied citizen of that state be tween 10 and 00 to work at least thirty-six hours a week. "Was this aimed at the ball players, the sum mer boarders, the idle rich, or the three classes named and more? Pre sumably ''work" is not restricted to manual employment, for the activ ities of lawmakers would naturally be recognized. If this extraordinary invasion of personal rights should be upheld by the courts, West Virginia joy-riders will be prompt to seek pas tures new. :o: The Irish have their opportunity. now that they will be allowed to choose their own brand of home rule( But the prospect of agreement among themselves is far from promising, and that the leading agitators are ready to lose their occupations by consent ing to a lasting settlement is still more doubtful. Let us hope, however. that the Irish people will get together and act wisely in spite of some of their leaders. Strange as it may seem, President Wilson has been asked by a native American why wc arc at war with Germany. He has pointedly replied that it is because of the "long and overwhelming" list of wrongs "perpe trated against the rights, the com merce and the citizens of the United States," wrongs that "no nation which respected itself or the rights of humanity could have borne any longer." -:o:- Dr. Van Dyke's "Homeward Dound" poem aptly describes a passage across the Atlantic as "a game of hide am reck with murderers in the dark," for the submarine plays the role, rot of the fair fighter in the open, but of the creeping assassin who stabs in the back. PKU "HARD TIMES SLACKERS. The sooner a lot of business men and others cease the cry that the war has demoralized business the better it will be for everybody. If these same people will give the time thus spent to further the interests of the com munity they will be surprised to find that nobody has been hurt. The plain truth is that the great central west has not felt the war at all, and will not, unless it be extended over a long period of time. The only way in which the war has been felt in com munities like this through the tre mendous advance in prices of the common necessities, which has cre ated a burden for the man of mod crate and fixed income; and this is very largely due to artificial causes and manipulaion of markets. The central west now has the greatest natural resources and productiveness j in its history and an incalculably greater amount of actual cash than ever before. Vilues rot alone of I land but of all its products are now on the average immensely greater than ever before and there is almost unlimited demand far labor of every kind from the untrained boy for farm work, to the most skilled mechanic. Al! of this noise about demoralized business is upon the tongues of those who talk it and not borne out by the facts in any essential. The panic of 11)07 hit this country with ten-fold more force and financial disaster than would one or two or three years of the present condition bring about. I-et s get this all out of our system and for the common good keep things moving as they must move. A set of hard times slackers" in the commun ity can do more damage than all the rest combined. Aurora Sun. :o: LIFE AND DEATH. An editorial in a prominent news paper on "Life and Death," inspired by the fact that hundreds of thou sands of young Americans are to risk their lives on the battle front, is chiefly remarkable for its lack of any mention of a future life. One might suppose that the writer had never leard of any such thing and that the general public addressed is equally uninformed on a vital subject. Per- iaps it will be different months hence when we as a nation shall have really ooked on death and our thoughts shall have turned a little more to ward eternity. Already it is differ ent among the battling nations of Eu rope, whence again and again have come reports of revivals of re- igion" among both soldiers and civil ians. According to the accounts, there is a deep stirring even on the higher levels of education and intelligence. II. G. Wells, the socialist and materialistic- novelist, for example, has just written a book in order to pro claim that he has "found God." Undoubtedly a quickening of man kind on the spiritual side is a part of the good to come out of the evil of the great war, and such quickening is needed, for, absorbed in earthly pursuits, too many of us become like miles under ground, with little time or taste or capacity for lifting our eyes to the stars shining in the heav ens. Yet we may well believe that the great heart of humanity has never ceases to beat in rhythm with the unseen forces of a spiritual realm none the less real because invisible to l WOO liiVSl kill Olllt 1 11V 111V11 t iv have gone down to the sea in ships, the men who have faced death in the shock of battle, the men who have slept under the stars and witnessed the miracle of dawn, the men and women who have followed duty into strife and pain with brave and hope ful hearts, the men and women who have performed their daily tasks faithfully more for the sake of others than for self, they who have not wor shipped themselves only and have striven to do justice and love mercy surely these have not ceased to be conscious of a great beyond, the real dwelling-place of the soul for a time only adjoined to its' mortal tenement. Those engaged in spading gardens say there are many worms in the ground, and they also say that thin is a sign there are plenty of fish in the streams. Alright, now go after them, boys. LEGAL NOTICE.

The pilgrimage of the Italian war commission to Mount Vernon was scarcely less impressive than that of J the French and English. "The bronze wreath," said the Prince of Udine.. "which v.e have come to lay upon thy tomb of your great national hero, and which we have brought from Rome, is such as used to be offered to Roman heroes, it represents the homage of the Italian nation to the man who symbolizes the purest tradi tions anil the most noble aspirations of the American spirit." Standing on hallowed ground, the commission did not stop at this tribute to Washing ton, but solemnly pledged the for tunes and the men of Italy to the common cause, the prince adding in the name of the people of his nation: "I wish solemnly to declare, in this place sacred to the American nation, that we shall never lay down our arms until our liberty, and the liber ties of the peoples who are suffering with us, shall be rendered safe ' I against all surprise and all insolence." Washington, who himself entered into a war-league with a nation of Europe in the name of liberty, could not have asked more than this. :o: The young American doctors and Red Cross assistants who are going or have gone to Europe are brave men. There was a time when to fire on the Red Cross was supposed to be a shameful, almost unbelievable, out rage, but the Germans have put an end to that so far as they are con cerned. "Frightfulness" desires ev ery wounded enemy to be left to die and the German sharpshooters regu larly pick off red-crossed Samaritans on their errands of mercy. The members of the British and French medical corps have been slaughtered like sheep, and hence the great cry for American aid in this line. The unbelievable day has come when Red Cross work is more hazardous even than the life in the trenches. :o:- Did you register yesterday? c ..v..T
