o
Sioux City Journal, 11: Backers of
tho free community bridge project
expressed, tho opinion yesterday that
the matter would be allowed to rest
until next spring. Urgent business
is making too heavy a demand upon
their time, they assert, and at pres
ent no funds are available to push
the campaign. Up to tho present
time more than half the required
number of signers have affixed their
signature to petitions which have
been in circulation for nearly two
months. The showing is creditable,
the backers claim, owing to tho fact
that no systematic canvas of tho city
has been inaugurated. By allowing
the matter to rest until next spring
the advocates of the bridgo believe
that tho 900 signatures yet to bo ob
tained to bring the project to a vote
of tho people can bo easily secured.
Onco the petitions aro fully signed,
they declare, tho construction of a
toll-less bridgo to South Sioux City
is assured. W. S. Gllman stated
yesterday afternoon that ho received
u communication from the govern
ment engineer at Kansas City to tho
effect that theru was no law in force
specifying that u certain distance
had to be maintained between bridges
spanning tho same river. Tho ques
tion was brought up recently, accord

Sioux City Journal, 2: S-h-h!
Speed fans, listen! A "durk" plot,
with you as its victim, has been
hatched up over in South Sioux City,
Muyor J. L. Phillips being one of tho
instigators. Better put a curb on
your jazzbuggy, for a speed trap and
ii motorcycle cop have been added to
the suburb's improvements, with tho
intention of paving South Sioux's
main highway with fines collected
from embryo Barney Oldfields. Mo
torists, especially private cars and
taxis going to Crystal lake, have used
the streets as speedways long enough,
said Mayor Phillips last night, and
if they continue to jazz right through
town at breakneck speed substantial
contributions to tho paving fund will
ffe levied through tho justice of the
peace. And South Sioux City isn't
worrying about collections, either.
A speedy motorcycle, manned by
Clyde Stevens, spcedcop, is ready to
literally give 'em all a run for their
money. And Stevens, according to
report, is able to give a good account
of himself if some obstreperous per
son tries to arguo tho question. Ac
cording to tho Mayor's beliof, 250
pounds of motorcycle cop is n good
argument for observance of traffic
rules.
Walthill Times: Glancing back
into tho Congressional Record of a
few weeks ago, tho reader may dis
cover (page 481) Evans of Nebraska,
taking a hand in tho round tablo dis
cussion on tho floor of tho house of
the business before that body. Tho
measure under consideration was for
tho repeal of certain luxury tuxes
that tako somo of ,tho "percents"
from the purses of thoso who are able
and do buy tho higher priced quality
of various articles of commerce. A
southern congressman was urging tho
bill and Mr. Evans put to him a num
ber of pertinent questions as how it
was proposed to raise othorwiso tho
several million dollars which Undo
Sam would lose by tho repeal. Tho
mention Is of interest lor tho evi
dence that the Third district Is be
ing truly represented in congress for
tho first time in a number of years.
....Robert Probst, who has been
working in tho bakery for several
weeks, saw tho fall of tho aeroplane
in which Major William Ream met
his death on tho morning of August
21, 1018. Young Probst, whose homo
is at Effingham, 111., was in tho crowd
that went out that morning to wit
ness tho arrival of the squadron of
army planes flying from Indianapo
lis to St. Louis, with Effingham as
ono of the stops. A large white
square hud been spread in a field to
indicate the landing spot. A hard
driving rainstorm with high wind
come up before tho first of tho nino
planes arrived, and tho two in ad
vance had effected a landing just as
Probst reached tho place. Tho third
plane, in which Major Roam was rid
ing, glided down from the cost as if
to land, then seemed to rise and turn
sharply to the north, then dived, nose
down and tail spinning, and it struck
tho earth in a twinkling of an eye.
Major Ream was killed instantly and
tho pilot who was in tho seat behind
him was injured so severely that it
was several months before ho was
able to leave tho hospital.
ItKAU BUS' LETTERS IN SIOUX
CITY JOURNAL.
As to .Soldier Memorials.
Sioux City, la., Aug. 1, 1919. To
the Editor: I read in tho Journal
that the administration is going to
raise $25,000,000 for a monument to
our martyred sons in France. It
seems to me that tho administration
had better uso that money to bring
our boys' remains home. At tho out
set of tho war the administration
promised that our fallen sons would
be brought homo after tho war, but
just now, it seems, it is going to give
Fronco n $25,000,000 monument and
forget its promise. Of courso our
doad sons can mako no protest, but
their spirits are crying out to their
and friends, soying, tako us homo,
and bury us in American soil, nnd
lotus crumble to American dust from
which wo came. If tho administra
tion is going to break its promise to
our fallen sons, then tho fathers and
mothers and friends will seo to it
that their will is done. I am sure
that at least 75 per cent of tho futh
ers and mothers want their loved
ones to rest in their own grave lottt.
Tho leaguo of nations, it seems to
me, will keep our boys in foreign
lunds, and also keep tho profiteers
going at home. Our duty, I believe,
is to bo for America first. I think
tho sooner wo can break away from
one-man rule and get back to tho
happy days of Roosevelt, McKinloy
yes; nnd Mark Hannn and, jjood fel
lowship, tho better. Break away
from European domination, and bo
for America first wo have plenty to
do at home.
Now it is proposed to build u mem
orial in our city. I had hoped that
this had beon forgotten. It seems to
me that this will only tend to keep
this horrible war before tho vision
and in tho minds of Borrowful par
ents forever. 1 am only speaking
for myself and my wife. I know that
wo could never enter such u building
dr look upon such a monument with
out pain in our hearts. If a mom
oriol must be erected, let it bo a
monument. It seems to mo that a
monument would signify tho causo
for which our sons foil, while a
building would only servo us a placo
for gayoty nnd joy. Respectfully,
Chris E. Soversen.
Mnko the Farm Home Modern.
No ono would think of building n
house in a city without scwago dis
posal, running water and electric
light. These modern conveniences
aro no more necessary in tho city
than in tho country, but custom
makes city people feel they can't do
without them. Nothing udds more
to tho comfort of tho form homo
than a good water system, Next to
water in convenience comes electric
light, and then a heating Hystom.
Plans and suggestions for modern
farm homo conveniences may bo ob
tained from tho Extension Service,
College of Agriculture, Lincoln.
