"The day we celebrate" was gener ally observed in Plattsmouth. :o: Just because a man's head runs to a peak is no sign it isn't level. :o: Firecrackers are a nuisance, and money burned up every Fourth. :o: The dog without a collar is in great danger in Flattsmouth these days. :o: Cheer up! Butter in Berlin is two dollars a pound, and hard to get at I that. :o: It is easy to sec through the fellow who is constantly courting the lime light. :o: Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven and hell a fable. Colton. -:o:- Many cities are passing anti-open muffler ordinances, and they work to perfection. Why not enforce such an ordinance in Plattemouth? :o: Just as sure as reports come to us that Germany has food enough to meet her needs indefinitely, along comes another report of food riots over there. Evidently someone is lying. :o: The Fourth of July, like Christmas, comes but once a year, and many of us arc glad of it, notwithstanding they are events that should ever be remembered by every American pa triot and Christian. :o: Adam Breedc, editor of the Hast ings Tribune, designates the small bore newspapers who are eternally finding fault with President Wilson and his administration, as "snipers." The appellation is a good one and ex presses it very plain. :o: . That man Wilkerson, detective in the ax murder case at Vilisca, la., is certainly stirring up things around the Iowa town, and will tell all about it at the Boyd opera house in Omaha. Saturday evening. By injunction he is prevented from even telling his ftory in Red Oak, and it is estimated that 1,000 people will go to Omaha to hear him, from Creston, Corydon, Vil. lisca and Rod Oak. -:o: "I'm worried to death over the war. and wind and the weather," said a good woman in this town yesterday. These are indeed worry days. What with the world war, the torrential rains and the terrible storms there seems to be trouble enough to break down the strongest faith. And yet we have only to be sane and to be, comforted. Worry cats the heart out of you without doing any good at all. Just a bit of philosophy will show you the futility of worrying over things you cannot help. Resolutely face the future and with an eagle eye of faith look for the silver lining of the cloud3. VThe war will come to an end; the rains will sease to swell the streams; the storms will all blow over. To morrow will be a brighter day. God lives and this old earth moves' for ward, not backward. Look up, go for ward, be of good cheer. PE YEAR Hi ADYAiCB SOMETHING TO DO, BUT HOW? "It is the duty of every American citizen to help stimulate patriotism in every manner possible," says Adam Brecde of the Hastings Tribune in hi excellent paper. This advice from Editor Breedc, whose name is signifi cant of his antecedents, is excellent, but lacks plans and specifications. If he will point out how it is to be done, he will be doing all of us and hit country a distinct and appreciated service. There is said to be at least one town in this county wherein nny citizen who assumes to be sturdily for Uncle Sam's government with respect to this war is given to understand that he is offensive, and loyal American citizens are afraid, for business reasons and social reasons, to stand up for Uncle Sam. There are other like communi ties in the state Loyal Americans all know where they are. What remedy would Adam Brecde suggest for the cure of this highly re pugnant condition. Most of us are anxious to hear, for those who know Adam Brecde have confidence in him. They also believe that if there is anj way in which patriotism may be stim ulated in that sort of a community he is apt to know it. It is a pretty situation, isn't it? Think of an American town or com munity in which an American citizen is afraid, at a time when his govern ment is at war, to stand up for hi government and the cause for which it is fighting. It is a condition that is not goine to be permitted long to survive. There is going to come a day of reckoning in which those who have profited from their residence in this country, and from the beneficence of its laws, its privileges and its peerless soil and climate, must make their attitudes known beyond question. They must be patriotic or be branded traitors. Ways of making them so will be found. The United States government has been lenient with that class of citi zens. It has seemingly desired to allow them time to calculate their position with deliberation, in the hope that they would finally comprehend how exactly and genuinely the inter ests of former Germans are identical in this war with those of every othej American, no matter where born. The time is rapidly approaching when the disloyal and the sullenly si lent citizen is going to find himself mighty unpopular. It is certainly not farther away than the day in which will come news across the sea that - v American hoys are being shot to Heath by kaiser soldiers. Then the public and the government will get inquisi tive and will want to know just wheth er each particular citizen resident of this country is in sympathy with th Americans or the Hohenzollerns. And should it ever occur that the Hohcnzollern is able to demand and exact an indemnity from the United Slates, as Hohcnzollern newspapers have said he will, he will not stop t inquire where anybody in this country was born. And he is not going to destroy free government for the rest of us and leave it available for tho Ilohenzollcrn sympathizer in this war. It is a vital question how may we stimulate patriotism among those who prefer not to be patriots because of the accident of birth. Lincoln Star. :o: European countries issued various col ored pamphlets the chances are those sent out from the United States will be red, white, and blue. tor Uncle Sam will soon issue a series of pamphlets explaining various is sues pertaining to the war. As the :o:- The U-boat campaign is certainly doomed. The corn is doing nicely. :o:- A little moisture will help some. :o:- Now get down to the regular grind. :o: Women are always long on adjec tives. :o: In roasting ear season a man with out teeth is to be pitied. :o: A dose of democracy was the sort of medicine that Russia needed. :o: The men who do not believe in prin ter's ink are the ones who do not use it. :o: Now is your time to learn to fly. The government needs thousands of aviators. :o: The fellow who attempts to carry water on both shoulders generally gets soaked. President Wilson did not fail to demonstrate that he would not stand for bone dry. :o: The ladies of Plattsmouth are evi dently displaying their patriotism with a will and vim. :o: Since the big boom in the price of dried apples, that article is swelling up to a great extent. to: Movie heroes might be more popular if they did not look so much like the cat that had just eaten the canary. :o: The scientific explanation of why lions roar will be interesting to those who thought perhaps it was because they were hard of hearing. :o; The girl who has to look through the top of her hat before she can see you, should not feel slighted if you fail to recognize her. tot The pen may be mightier than the sword, but it is well to remember that truth does not always lie at the bot tom of an ink well. :o: At least one man told the truth when he told his best girl that sh was the only girl he ever kissed. His name was Adam. :o: A young lady friend remarked the other day to us, that "it takes two to carry on a flirtation." Of course it does, and one of the two has to be a male person. to: WThen a man sees a young girl sip ping cocktails in a restaurant he ab solutely knows that her parents didn't know as much about training a girl as a mule knows about astronomy. :o: "Nothing like those old fife and drum corps to set a fellow's blood to to boiling," as in the days of '61. More enthusiasm can be effected with mar shal music than anything else, and if we were 20, or even ten years younger, we would have a drum and fife corps that would wake the boys up to the duty of the hour. to: GENERAL BELL'S ADDRESS. The difference in the philosophy of an autocratic and a democratic na tion was shown in a short address de livered by General Bell to troops that were about to embark for France. He admonished them that they would be representatives of the American peo ple and should so comport themselves everywhere as to confer honor upon their country. He told them they should always be protectors of women and children, non-combatants and pri vate property. He concluded his re marks with the following words: "In a short time the most of you will be in Europe and probably by and by all of you. You must, every one of you, remember that each soldier will be the representative of this coun try while over there. Do not base your standard of obligation on what you may expect of others, but remem ber that you should conduct yourself in a manner fitting the representa tives of this great and altruistic na tion." Compare that with the orders issued by an autocratic ruler to the troops that invaded Belgium. They were tp make the country a wilderness, private property was to be seized, indemnities were laid upon them to pay the cost of the invasion of their own country, noncombatants have been made slaves and transported to another country. the young girls have been taken from their families and no report has been made of their fate. The old were left to die of starvation. Seven millions of them have been fed for nearly three years by the philanthropic people of the world. There is a vast difference between the policies of "this great and altruistic nation" and that of the autor cracy of the Prussians. The war is being fought to make the democratic standard the policy of the whole world -World-Herald. OUR FOREIGN TRADE. If you are interested in our foreign trade you should note the shifting of the trade currents. These currents show that Uncle Sam's importation from Asia during the ten months of the current fiscal year ended April thirteenth, amounted to $465,000,000, or 23 per cent of the grand total of importations for that period. They came in at the rate of $46,500,000 a month. During the similar ten months of 1913, under the protective policy, they totaled $235,000,000, or $23,500,- 000 a month, comprising 15 per cent of the grand total of importations. These were the products of the cheap est paid labor in the world from China, Japan, the East Indies, etc. From North America came $583,000,- 000 worth of imports, or 20 per cent of the grand total, compared with $294,000,000 for the 1913 period, or If) per cent of the grand total. The in crease from this division was about 100 per cent, in which Canada, Cuba, Mexico, and Central America chiefly shared in the order named. From South America we imported about $425,000,000 worth of goods for thi ten months' period, or 21 per cent of, the grand total, compared with $195, 000,000 for the 1913 period, or about 13 per cent of the grand total. In crease from this division, 123 percent. Imports from Europe totaled $49S,- 000,000, or nearly 25 per cent of the total for the ten months' period, com pared with $767,000,000, or 50 per cent for the 1913 period. Here was falling off of 35 per cent, the two per iods compared, which is easily ac counted for. From Belgium, Germany and Austria, during the ten months of 1912-1913, we imported $212,000,- 000 worth of goods. Imports from these three counties were wholly cut off during the 1916-1917 period. From France came $92,000,000 worth oj products during the current period, compared with $122,000,000 for the 1912-1913 protective period. But the bulk of the coal and iron deposits of France have been in the hands of the enemy, while a large portion of French industry is directed toward war re quirements. And of course imports from other European countries have been more or less retarded, with on or two exceptions, where increases arc shown. England just about held her own. Imports from Oceania for the cur rent period show an increase of $29,- 000,000 over the 1912-1913 period, not withstanding the fact that there was a falling off in imports from Australia and New- Zealand of $40,000,000 below the same period last year, due to em bargoes on wood and food products. Total imports for the current ten months' period, $2,072,000,000, com pared with $1,548,000,000 for the 1912- 1913 period, an increase of $524,000,- 000. The strides which Japan and China have made in manufacturing would indicate that a large portion of the trade of Europe has passed into the hands of the Orientals, whose low labor scale will enable them to hold it permanently. The competition of these far eastern countries will pre sent the gravest problems when fu ture republican tariff revision is un dertaken. Hastings Tribune. WIIERE THE CREDIT LIES. Neither to the organizations that conducted them nor the army of work ers that prompted them does credit belong for the success achieved in floating the Liberty loan and in gath ering the great fund for the Red Cross.
