Who paid the private fuel bills of
the members and officers of the state
board of control ? seems to be the big
question before the legislature just
now. '

“The League of Notions,” is the way
Col. George Harvey characterizes
President Wilson’s war panacea in
Harvey’s Weekly. And, without tak
ing sides, it isn’t such a bad definition
at that.
-o
Lecturer Ernest J. Powell in a ser
mon at the Presbyterian church Sun
day evening characterized the oppo
nents of President Wilson’s league of
nations as pinheads. Abuse is never
argument.
-o
Lightning, directed by the hand of
President Wilson, seems to have struck
the civil service commissipn. From
mid-ocean the president has by wire
less electrocuted its head. Republi
cans beware.
-o
Potash mining may yet become one
of the leading industries of Holt
county. Marl has been found to con
tain potash in large quantities and it
may be mined and the potash separa
ted at less cost than by evaporating
water containing potash salts, which
is the method employed in the lake re
gions. There are vast deposits of marl
in Holt county.
-o
Press dispatches contain the an
nouncement that for the first time in
manv Years the White House war
without a supply of overseas sham- ;
rocks on St. Patrick’s day. Shamrocks
in the White House would not neces
sarily commit the democratie adminis
tration to approval of home rule for
Ireland, which President Wilson rec
ognizes as purely a British domestic (
question.

“I do not want to be required to go
around by a crosswalk in going from 1
the Henshaw to the Merchants’ hotel,”
says Mayor Smith of Omaha in op
posing a jay-walking ordinance pend- i
ing before the city commission. Why
should any one care to go from the
Henshaw to the Merchants, or from
the Merchants to the Henshaw, 3ince <
the state went dry ?

New York brewers are going to try ,
and convince Uncle Sam that 2% per
per cent beer has no kick to it and
that the revenue department has no
authority to interfere with its manu
facture and sale. Fortified with
several heavy-weight legal opinions,
they will pay no attention to the war
time prohibition act or any other
bothersome regulations. This is a
sure way to find out where the
kick is. '
-o
The attempt to have legislation en
acted making fifteen tons the minimum
car load for hay is merely a move to
raise the freight rate on hay fifty per
cent and hay shippers should at Once
get busy with a protest. Not more
than ten tons of hay may be loaded in
most of the cars furnished hay ship
pers in this section and it is rarely
chut a car is received that will ac
comodate twelve tons.
-o
A hundred or so pints of red-eye is
not too much to keep in the cellar, a
jury in Lincoln, Nebraska’s Zion, has
decided. The jury also held that the
revenue stamp on bottled-in-bond
goods doesn’t mean anything, when it
ruled that joywater bottled in bond in
1918 had been stored in the cellar in
question before May 1 of 1917. Thus
are any and all capital removal con
spiracies effectively disposed of.

As will be noticed elsewhere in this
issue, the Northwestern is consider
ing the establishment of a freight ter
minal at a point between Norfolk and
Long Pine, to expedite handling of
both through and local freight. Inman
is bidding for the terminal, with some
show of lunding it. As one of the
principal shipping points along the

I Who Benefits By 1

II You feel that retail s
meat prices are too high.
III Your retailer says he j

to the packers.

is for packers’ profit, 13

to rising costs of raising live stock. ||

;V , wages must go hand in hand
with the new cost of living. 11
i; No one, apparently, is
* responsible. No one, apparently,
is benefited by higher prices and
j higher income. 11
We are all living on a high
, priced scale. One trouble is,
that the number of dollars has
multiplied faster than the quan
H tity of goods, so that each dollar
I buys less than formerly. |J|

jest hay shipping Jioin*, the terminal
should be located at O’Neili. The es
ablishment of a terminal here would
nean the addition of a number of
'amilies to the city’s population and
mobably the stationing Of a switch

lity for the Commercial Club to do
something.

'digress Has Authority to Convene
Itself.
Congress has abundant authority to
x-nvene itself if President Wilson re
vises to do so, according to attorneys
vho have been looking up the matter.
While such a proceeding would be pre
■edent shattering and perhaps unwise
»t this time it would be legal. The
institution only melWions sessions of
ingress in two places. In the first,
\rticle 1, Sec. 4, it says:
“The Congress shall assemble AT
[.EAST once in every year, and such
Meetings shall be on the first Monday
n December, unless they shall by Law
ippoint a different Day.”
In the second, Article 2, Sec. 3:
“he may, on extraordinary Occa
sions, convene both Houses, or either
if them,”.
The first reference, specifying that
ingress must meet at least once each
year, implies that affairs of govern
ment not necessarily extraordinary
would justify other sessions even if
[he president didn’t see fit to call one.
I'he second reference would not pre
vent congress convening of its own
initiative in times of great stress even
if the president were opposed.
