Settling Dispute
IT IS a strange thing that men
often resort to strife first and
reason afterwards in their efforts
to settle disputes. . Misunderstand
ings, jealousy, envy, self-justification,
and the like are corrected not
through strife, but through reason
and amicable agreement. Wars are
not a means of securing such an
agreement; but after the use of bay
onet and gun has ceased, and reason
begins to bring about peaceful rela
tions, then disputes are settled.
The ages have furnished historical
data which prove that material am
bitions and possessions afford no
sound basis for peace, in either na
tional or personal relations. Matter,
being limited in its nature, expresses
the belief of limitation in its every
manifestation. Instead of making one
great, trutt in matter weakens one
who relies upon it; and what this re
liance does to individuals it does to
nations. One right thinking individ
ual is more valuable to world peace
than millions of wrong thinkers. Re
ferring to this individual importance,
Mary Baker Eddy has written
In "Pulpit and Press" (p. 4): "You
have simply to preserve a scientific,
positive sense of unity with your di
vine source, and daily demonstrate
this. Then you will find that one is
as important a factor as duodeciiiions
in being and doing right, and thus
demonstrating deiflc Principle." A
little farther on she quotes, "One on
God's side is a majority." . . .
As the spokes of a wagon wheel
get nearer the hub, they get nearer
to each other: so is it with men; as
they get closer to God in thought,
they get closer to one another. The
divine plan is impartial and blesses
all alike who obey its laws of action.
Love does not grant special favors,
nor restrict legitimate progress;
neither does it provide for such reg
ulations through the material agen
cies commonly known as implements
of warfare. The words of our Mas
ter, who came to fulfill the law, not
to destroy, are as significant today
as when they were spoken to Peter
after he had drawn his sword and
cut off the ear of the servant of the
high priest: "Put up again thy sword
MOVE TO NEW LOCATION
The Cass County Chevrolet Co. to
day completed the removal of their
garage and sales and service depart
ment from the building at Fourth

age on Washington avenue. The
O. K. Garage has been cleaned out
for the new occupants and it is ex
pected to have the display and sale3
rooms redecorated as soon as possible.
The new location will allow a great
deal more room to adequately dis
play the r.ew models in the sales
rooms as well as special rcoms for
tires, tools and accessories as well.
The Chevrolet Co. will operate the
filling station in addition to the auto
rales and services lines, handling the
Skelly gas and which is now being
placed in service.
The building is one of the best in
the city and built for garage pur
poses is one that is well arranged in
every way for this line of business.

into his place: for all they that take
the sword shall perish with the
sword." Then, as If in holy benedic
tion, he turned Peter's thought from
matter to the infinite source of all
good by asking. "Thinkest thou that
I cannot now pray to my Father, and
he shall presently give me more than
twelve legions of angels?" . . .
During the last quarter of a cen
tury was witnessed the most vicious
and widespread combat ever fought,
and today there is a crying need for
assurances of peace, and a univer
sally acceptable basis for the settle
ment of disputes. Spurred on by what
it calls national defense policies, the
human race has become engaged in
the provision of drastic material
methods of self-preservation.
But that which counteracts "all
evil" comes from the divine Mind,
not from the cannon's mouth. When
animality gives way to brotherly love,
and trustworthiness takes the place
of dependence upon bruth strength,
the desire to rule one's neighbor
through force or cunning ?ill cease.
It is the nature of God's law to ele
vate, not suppress, the human race;
to give life, and not to take it. His
law holds universal jurisdiction over
all points of equity, and His angels
bestow all blessedness on those who
obey H:s law. As one becomes better
acquainted with the demands of di
vine Mind, one begins to settle per
sonal disputes by first correcting
one's own thought. Starting with
God, the source of all intelligence
and good, one may establish friendly
relations with others, for there is
but one common origin and basis of
all harmonious action.
Intelligence has already estab
lished an impartial and wholly prac
tical answer to all questions; and
when the entire human family sub
mits to God's government, there will
be no cause for distrust, tear, or
strife, and there will be no unsettled
disputes among men. Then will the
prophecy cf Isaiah be fulfilled, name
ly: "The mountain of the Lord's
house shall be established in the top
of the mountains, and shall be ex
alted above the hills; and all nations
shall flow unto it. . . . And they
shall beat their swords Into plow
shares, and their spears into prun
inghooks: nation shall not lift up
sword against nation, neither shall
they learn war any more." The
Christian Science Monitor.
SENIOR SNEAK DAY
From Friday's Daily
Today was one of the big events
of tlbe near graduation time for
members of the senior class, that of
"sneak day" when the class takes a
holiday all their own from the reg
ular school program and spend the
day in the enjoyment of sightseeing
and merrymaking.
The class, the largest so far that
has prepared to graduate from the
high school, assembled early in the
morning at the high school and pre
pared for the day of pleasure Lin
coln being the goal of the party.
The young people were planning
on visiting the state capitol, uni
versity and other state Institutions
while at Lincoln and to close the day
with theatre parties at Omaha.

Missouri River
to Benefit from
Roosevelt Plan
Development Advocates iuxpsct a
Favorable Report Soon;
Norris Agrees.
Washington, April 26. President
Roosevelt will send to congress,
probably within a week, an outline
of future national development
which will forecast continued Mis
souri valley improvement on a giant
scale, supporters of Missouri river
development said today.
Scoffing at reports that the find
ings of the president's cabinet board
would be detrimental to the Mis
souri, these river advocates said
they expected to find the study would
substantiate their contention that
this valley is the most fruitful field
for development of any of the coun
try's water sheds.
Central Agency Expected.
The Missouri and all other water
sheds except the Tennessee will be
placed under a central agency as a
result of this report. Proposals such
as that of Senator Norris for a sepa
rate authority, or development sepa
rately under the reclamation bureau,
will be abandoned.
Far from injuring the Missouri
projects, however, this action will
react to its benefit, since it will pro
vide a more flexible development pro
gram and will avoid the evil effect
of congressional enactment of the
numerous similar bills patterned on
Norris' which were introduced im
mediately after his.

joined in expressions of confidence ol
the administration's intention to
push the huge Missouri development
program initiated by the Fort Peck,
Mont., project.
"I believe that there is the rosiest
future ahead for the Missouri," said
Weaver.
"Not only has congress authorized
the channel development but the
corp3 oC army engineers has given
a sweeping approval tot the program.
Congressmen Agree.
"In addition, the public works ad
ministration has approved the devel
opment by allotting fund3 to Fort
Perk and committing itself to its
completion. I think the Missouri
people may look forward with con
fidence to the report which will be
sent to congress."
Members of congress from Mis
souri valley states similarly express
ed themselves. It was stated on be
half of Senator Norris that the pro
posal is thoroughly agreeable to him.
Secretary Ickes and other officials
concerned in the study today referred
all Inquiries to the White house.

About China
But Washington Is Silent on Crisis
m Far East Foreign Cap
itals Are Anxious.
Tokio, April 2C. United States
Ambassador Joseph C. Grew visited
Foreign Minister Koki Hirota at
12:30 p. m. today to discuss Japan's
recent declaration of policy concern
ing China.
The visit of the American envoy
was in accordance with instructions
from Secretary of State Hull in Wash
ington. Previously it was understood the
state department had asked the
United States embassy in Tokio for
a careful translation of Tokio press
statements, but no official request
had been made for formal diplomatic
representation.
Foreign Capitals Anxious.
The strained international situ
ation caused by Japan's pronounce
ment of a "Monroe doctrine" policy
toward China was brought before
President Roosevelt Wednesday, but
Washington remained silent.
It was one of the subjects for dis
cussion between the 'chief executive
and Secretary of State Hull, but the
secretary was unable to call at the
White house during the day.
What step, if any, the United
States would take on the delicate
question was awaited anxiously in
London, Tokio, Nanking and othei
capitals.
In the meantime, comment was
caused by information reaching con
gress that Mr. Roosevelt would ask
it for power to decide when to re
inforce the navy, bringing it up to
treaty-limit strength.
A Blunt Reply.
A spokesman" for the Japanese for
eign office bluntly replied to requests
for explanation of the declaration by
saying:
"Our statement has been made.
Let ethers read it as they will."
The British request for elucidation
was conveyd to Foreign Minister
Hirota by Ambassador Lindley this
afternoon.
Great Britain surveyed the situ
ation anxiously but did not comment
herself. The London press generally
displayed worry and hostility toward
Tokio's attitude.
Consul-General Speaks.
In Geneva, Masayuqi Yokoyama
Japanese consul general, said Japan
did not want to drive westerners
from the aFr east and intended tc
respect treaties. ,
"Japan nevertheless," he added
"cannot accept and will oppose any
form of assistance to China whicr
is contrary to peace in eastern Asia."
Chi-Tsai-Hu, Chinese minister tc
Switzerland, declared at Geneva that
Japanese imperialism seeks to en
close all China and veto the rights
t
of foreign nations.
TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
William Woolcott was taken to
Omaha Thursday where he was
placed in a hospital for treatment
and possible operation. Mr. Wool
cott has been suffering from an in
ternal goitre for some time and
Thursday suffered a severe attack
from the trouble and which made
necessary his being sent to the hos
pital. The many friends are hoping
that he may have a rapid recovery
from the attack and be able to re
turn home and resume his usual ac
tivities. l I-r-H-M-I' I 'I 'M-M-I-

To Reorganize
Golf and Country
Club for Season
J. W. Holmes Named as President
and Rev. G. A. Pahl as the Sec
retary of Association.
From Friday's Daily
The reorganization of the golf and
country club was taken up last even
ing at a meeting of those who have
been interested in this work in the
past and today the drive was on to
secure members for this worth while
community enterprise.
The organization was perfected by
the electio nof J. W. Holmes as pres
ident and Rev. G. A. Pahl as secre
tary who with their committee are
planning the active work of placing
the club back in its old spirit.
The country and golf club has in
the past been a much enjoyed and
popular part of the social life of the
community, providing a place for a
great many delightful social events
in the summer season which with
out the club and its beautiful
grounds would be impossible to have.
The golf course at the Plattsmouth
club grounds is one of the best in
this section of the state and where
the members can have the facilities
of the club house for luncheons or
other social gatherings if they wish.
The movement to place the club
back on its feet should have the sup
port of all those who have enjoyed it
in the past and thoie who may desire
the same opportunity in the future.
AN UNKNOWN ARTICLE
One of the residents of near this
city was a visitor at Omaha on day
this week, while there decided to se
cure some articles that were needed
on a farm. The party visited one
store and inquired for a milk strain
er and the request was regarded with
considerable astonishment by the
clerk, who suggested that a milk
separator was the article needed and
no strainer could be found. Several
stores were visited with the result
that no strainer could be found. One
clerk asked why strain the milk
when it comes fresh from the cow.
The party , had to give up the hunt
for the strainer and return to this
city where one was secured at a local
hardware store where the merchants
are a little closer to the needs of a
farm.
