PEOPLE MUST GET BEHIND
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS
In an article endorsing tho erection
of a now court house, Editor Uas
mussen of tho Hershoy Times says:
"Why is it that Lincoln county is
so slow to settle up? Wo havo some
of the finest lnnd In western Nebras
ka, acres and acres under irrigation
which practically assures crops, wo
havo among tho greatest hay markets
In tho world, crops of nearly overy
description can be raised, and wo
also havo a splendid climate. Other
counties in this ond of tho stato nro
sqttllng up more rapidly than wo uru
and thoir conditions aro not nearly
as promising as our. Why don't wo
growl Simply this wo do not got
behind public improvements like wo
should, and wo lack tho proper spirit
of co-operation. Lincoln county is
one of the largest counties In tho
state, it can bo mado one of the
greatest, by a llttlo moro diplomatic
unifying Improvements. Wo will noV'
or como into our own until the ma
jority gets solidly behind Improve
ments that tend to benefit as a whole,
and tho court house proposition Is
ono that all can heartily untto on."

Compensation for Soldier Roys
Tho Tribune heartily endorses tho
movement which has boon started by
tho soldiers and sailors of tho world
war in which It Is proposed to present
to tho prosont congress a request that
they Introduco and pass a bill where
by overy soldier and sailor of tho ro-
cont war, who receives an honorable
discharge, shall rccolvo from the gov
ormont a $75 Llborty bond for" each
month that ho was in tho scrvlco of
tho nation. Tho contention Is, that
theso boys should rocolvo full co
merclal compensation for tho tlmo
they gavo their country. Tho govern
ment cannot pay tho boys for their
patriotism, tho luxzards ith'oy havo
faced, or stood ready to face, or the
hardships thoy have endured, but tho
government can and should pay them
for tho tlmo ona basis of Its truo com
morclal value Tho fact Is that
whllo our government requisitioned,
conscripted and conllscatcd whatever
It nedeed at homo for tho successful
prosecution of tho war, It paid full
market valuo In each and ovory case,
oxc6pt only ono tho tlmo of tho boys
who wont .to tho front. Labor that re
mained at homo or that was oxcusod
from military sorvlco bocauBo of be
ing engaged In Industrial war work,
rocolvcd top-notch pay In overy case.
Tho farmer was urged to assist by
rops and ho was guar
anteed $2.20 for his whoat for ono
year aftor tho close" of tho war. All
of tho stay-at-homes who aldod ma
terially In the winning of tho wnr havo
bank accounts, or an accummulatlon
of liberty bonds nnd W. S. S. for their
patriotic effort. But tho returning
soldier has no money to buy Liberty
bonds. Ills was the only Job without
profit. Ho recolved $30 per month for
Ills magnlflcont sorvlco for his noun
try nnd out of this amount ho paid
his war risk insurance which In most
nsos amounts to $0.G0 por month.
Many who havo returned homo have
had to depend upon thoir- parents , for
a now stnrt In tho business world.

Chlncso delegates, who at tho last mo
ment wero unable to reconcile thom-
Holves to tho Shantung settlement,
was tho first discordant note in tho as
sembly. A written protest which Gen.
Jan Christian Smuts lodged with his
signature was another disappointment
to the makers of the treaty. But bulk
ing largor, wns the attitude of Ger
many and tho German plcnlpotontlars,
which left them, as evident from the
official program of the-day and from
tho expression of M. Clcmonccau, still
outside any formal reconciliation and

To M. Clomenceau's stern warning
in his oponlng remarks that thoy
would be expected, and held to ob
sorve tho treaty provisions logally
and completely, tho German delegates,
thru Dr. Hanlcl von Halmhausen, re
plied, after returning to tho hotel, that

had thoy known thov would bo treated
on a different status after signing
than tho allied representatives, as
Bhown by their separate exit before

thoy would novcr havo signed. Under
tho circumstances tho genoral tone of
sontlmont in tho historic sitting was
ono rather of relief at tho uncontro
vertible end of hostilities than of com-
plcto nnd unalloyed satisfaction.
Tho ceremony came to a dramatic
close In fact, reached its highest dra
matic pitch with tho wildly enthusi
