years ago because “he kept us out of

The Holt County Independent,
. speaking for the democratic party,
included women among those whom
it condemn for going to hear the
traitorous utterances of Senator Nor
ris Wednesday night. Even the
women who spent sleepless nights and
anxious days, fearful that the names
of their own loved ones would appear
in the lists of those sent back as
“killed in action”, and the women
. whose loved ones finally did appear
in those lists. But, then, the Inde
pendent claims to be the mouthpiece
of that great democratic statesman,
Arthur Mullen, and with him believes
that “niggers and women don’t amount
to much anyhow.
INDEPENDANT BRANDS NORRIS
HEARERS AS PRO-GERMANS.
The Holt County Independent, which
claims to be the political organ of
Senator Hitchcock, Arthur Mullen and
J. J. Harrington in Holt county, says
that you ai-e either a German or a
pro-German if you went to hear
Senator George Norris speak for
Hiram Johnson for president at the
K. C. Hall Wednesday night and en
joyed or applauded the utterances of
Senator Norris. In fact, if you en
joyed the address you were one whom
the Council of Defense had to cite be
fore them to make you buy bonds or
because of your pro-German incli
nations. The article was not written
by the talented (?) editor of the In*
dependent. It contains words of
several syllables.
The Independent in speaking of the
meeting says: “It was particularly
noticeable that among the men present
were many of those who had to be
cited before the County Council of
Defense because of their refusal to
■ buy liberty bonds or because of pro
German inclinations. * * * Only
a few progressive republicans, in
1 eluding the chairman of the meeting,
‘ and a dozen or more Germans and

speech.’’

AMERICANISM IS ISSUE
FOR CAMPAIIN OF 1920
Republican Congress Ready To Go To
Country On Protection of Our
Interests Alone.
Washington, April 2.—Now that
the treaty has been defeated at the
behest of President Wilson because
the Senate insisted that 'it protect
American interests, it is becoming
more apparent that the issue of the
coming campaign is to be American
ism. *
Already the Republican leaders are
preparing to meet that issue. They
recognize that the Republican House
and Senate have taken action since
their election in 1918 which will make
the affirmative on that issue their only
defense. The Democratic party lead
ers, on the other hand, have taken the
negative, on that issue and are ready
to make a fight on it, though in this
they are divided.
First comes the failure to ratify the
league of nations covenant and the
peace treaty. Every reservation writ
ten into the covenant was meant
merely as a future protection to the
United States. In no way did they
nullify the instrument. Article X was
simply a determination of the strong
nations to keep the world in status
quo, which would have accrued most
to the benefit of England. The reser
vation to it merely declared the right
of Congress to determine hvhether the
United States should war to uphold
boundaries. All the good which might
have come out of the league of nations
with the United States in it remained
in it, and the slight reservations pro

posed by the Republican Senate took
no good away and yet protected
America. For this the Republican
Senators who desired to fake the
slightest change were denounced by
the President on his westward tour as
“insects.” For this they were more
recently denounced as opposed to the
best interests of America. And for
this he gave the order to his followers
in the Senate to kill the treaty, and so
it was killed. In the coming campaign,
r
then, on this issue the Republican Sen
ate believes it will be sustained for
preserving America from subserv
iency to empires and European designs
in the name of world idealism.
Second, Congress has taken the view
that Americanism means the mainte
nance of initiative and the free play of
individuality. For this reason it has
opposed the Plumb plan to communize
the railroads or to continue them

THAT is the kind of increase in salary
the minister has received. His living
expenses have risen just as fast and as far
as yours.
But he is paid on the average just 52 cents
more per church member than he was paid 34
years ago.
The Minister Never Fails You
Every officer of the Government with a war
message to deliver appealed to the ministers first
of all.
But 80% of the ministers receive less income
than government economists figure as a minimum
for the support of an average family.
When hospitals need money they enlist the
support of the ministers—and receive it
But when sickness visits the minister or the
members of his family they must be treated in a
charity ward. His pay is less than a day laborer’s.
8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic.
We Pay Him Half the Wages of a Mechanic
And of these pitifully inadequate salaries, how much do
you contribute? Nothing if you are outside the church;
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry us; bury us; baptize our
children; visit us when we are side. In their hands id the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are All Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is this—a living
wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man’s job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It’s the best investment for your community—and
for your children—that you can ever make.
