THE O’NEILL FRONTIER r1 • .——.—. ■■■ ■" --H IX H. CRONIN. Publisher. IPNEJLU NEBRASKA Apropos of the case of the lord jnayor of Cork, Mr. Bonar Law com- : merits: "MacSwiney was one of the leaders of the Irish republican army which declared itself at war with the forces of the crown, and, according to his own written words in one of tbs seditious documents for which he was convicted, had he been taken at his word and dealt with as an avowed rebel, according to the uni versal practitc among civilized na tions, ho "you Id have been liable to he shot. Instead he was sentenced to a moderate term of imprisonment and given all the privileges of a po litical prisoner. Since MacSwlney’s arrest, 15 officers have been brutally and treacherously done to death without any chance of defending themselves.” "Surely,” he says, "the sympathy extended to the lord mayor whose condition is due to his own de liberate. act, is due rather to the be reaved widows and families of ths murdered Irish policemen.” The president of the Canadian Bar Association declared this week: "With Americans we, the representatives of the British empire hold and will hold against all other states on this con tinent for our common civilization from the Rio Grande to the North Pole.” I fwe are menaced by the un repentant forces of central Europe, shoulder to shoulder we will face east ward, if by Asiatics we will right about and march westward; If by any other common foe wo will stand hack to hock but " ver face to face In fraternal strife."

When asked to explain the situa tion which has developed between Poland and Lithuania, Prince Lubo mtrskl, Polish minister to the United Stales, quoted a Polish proverb; "The goat Jumps on the tree that Is bent,” meaning the Lithuanians had attempted to make capital of ths Polish disadvantage.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 20. — Thirty farmers from Kansas and Oklahoma will address meetings of wheat grow ers at 80 county seats in the South Platte section of the state, Saturday, in an effort to get them to join the National Association of Grain Grow ers, which has set out to fix the price of wheat at $3.13, Kansas City basis. The farmers' union, at the same time, Is conducting a drive to get the farmers to refused to sell their wheat until the country elevators will pay $2.75, which is the same as $3 on a Kansas City basis. C. H. Gustafson, president of the Nebraska Farmers’ Union, says that an exhaustive study has shown that the cost of raising wheat is close to $2.76. He says the farmers will have to stand the brunt of the big increase to railroad men and they must recoup themselves in some way. He insists that this action is necessary to seclure cheaper wheat, as the acreage will be greatly reduced If better prices than now prevail are not secured. Wheat is bringing $2.10 @2.25 at the country elevators, the dealers playing safe because of the large speculative Interest in wheat that has led to much margin buying.

The troops from Port Logan will remain here for an jn rWtmitA petiid. he said. I Daniel Boone, Scout and Hero, j N i............... Professor Archibald Henderson in tha Century Magazine. f "In the light of critical investigation Boone’s national contrlbutioii focuses into three genuine achievements which embody and signalize the meaning of his career. Boone was not the discoverer of Kentucky, tip ‘Columbus of the land.’ Many white men, soldiers, scouts, and hunteni _ anticipated him In first setting foot upon the virgin soil of Kentucky. It ' was Boone, however, who possessed the initiative and the genius to way rent and assure the utilizing of his explorations and discoveries for the- “ advancement of civilization. As early as 1764, certainly, Boone was placing, his unrivaled knowledge, acquired through solitary hunting expeditions, at the service of the land company known as Richard Henderson & Com pany, organized for the purpose of studying out for speculative ends the geography and locography' of the west. Five years later, when he made j his epochal two year exploration of the trans-Alleghany region, Boone was j again acting In the Interest of this same constructive and creative force in westward colonization, the great North Carolina land company. Specula- ! tlve enterprise and colonial ambition looked out over the oceanic expanse : of Kentucky forests In 1769, through the eyes of their agents, Boone and '« his companions. 6econd great achievement for which Boone will always be remem- ■ bered is the opening up of the way to the west, which will be known to ' history as the Transylvania Trail. This route passed through the ‘high swung gate way’ of the Cumberlands, and over it Boone led the advanced guard of civilization in 1776. of ail, and perhaps most important of all, Judged by results, wa| the erection and defense by Boone and his fellow pioneers of £ forest castle in the heart of the west. "The successful defense of the Transylvania Fort, made by the in- s aomitable backwoodsmen under Boone and Callaway, who were lost slgM ! of by the continental congress and left to fight alone their battles in tbs forest was of national significance in its results. Had the Traoylvania Fort fallen, the northern Indians in overwhelming numbers, directed by Governor Hamilton and led by British officers, might well have swept Ken- : tucky free of defenders, and fallen with devastating force upon the eh posed settlements along the western frontiers of North Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. This defense of Boonesborough, therefore, is deserving of commemoration in the annals of the American Revolution, along with Lexington and Bunker Hill. It may be regarded ay an event basically responsible for the retention of the trans-Alleghany region by the United States,” ,?oone» Indeed, might Kipling have been thinking when he wrote In 'The Foreloper:* For he must blaze a nation's ways, with hatchet and with brand. Till on his last won wilderness an empire’s bulwarks stand."

When British labor leaders undertook to set up a "committee of action” to dictate to the government what it should do and what it should not do, the Brit ish prime nijnister made a fitting reply. Speaking in the house of commons, Lloyd George first pointed out what was im plied in the labor plan. "The elected representatives of the nation do not count.” Therefore the labor leaders proposed to substitute a soviet for par liament. This, declared the premier, "is one of the .most formidable challenges ever given to democracy, and without hesitation every government must ac cept that challenge.” He wbnt on to say that sensible men of ail parties, In cluding labor, must see to it that no steps are actually taken to create "the fear that democratic institutions are to be subverted, that some new tyrannical Idea is to be Imposed by force of arms.” The particular crisis which then con fronted Lloyd George has largely passed away. But the notions and motives be hind it are cropping out again In (be threatened coal strike In England, witli tiie possibility that it may spread into a general strike. As the time comes to go to the scratch, the leaders of the miners show a desire ~i postpone the tight and to compromise the issue. They have not failed to note the announced purpose of (he great industries to shut down in stantly and completely, if there is a coal strike. Universal stopping of work would be a straight road to universal resumption of mining. The probabilities are strong that there will be a peaceful settlement. Before such threats no government can possibly lie down. It is bound to defend and exert Its lawful authority. _ It must vindicate Its dignity. For this there is a deeper reason than mere power. The government stands In a representative capacity. It is a government by consent. It" voice Is the voice of the majority. What if must strive to secure is the well being of the mass of citizens who have placed it in office and given it solemn duties to discharge. To challenge the ~ t'i tin- wav of the soviet or the ‘‘direct actionists.” is to challenge —-— J the democracy which stands behind the government. We are not yet ready to establish the principle tha£ all govem-i merits derive their just powers from the 1 dissent of the governed. A Man of Rare Honesty. jF^ From the New York Sun. ^ Just as there are various kind* of courage, so there are varieties of hon esty. Recently a Baltimore man res-«*J tored to its owner a bag containing ] $150,000 in negotiable securities, explain ing that it had been thrown into hLs car by mistake. That is the comma.i. kind of honesty which saturates mo.se Americans. About the time the man we j' returning the bag of treasure a man* in New York was speaking to Govdrno;* Smith at a public hearing on the ai|Meot of inflated prices and wages. “I an mechanic drawing $8.00 a day,” he saiu.' “and I am not worth it.” J Of all the millions of men who wrrall return without hesitation a lost article how many would admit that they were not worth their pay? The commoner*!)' form of vaulty is the belief of the human that if he is not underpaid at least 1 o is not overpaid. This belief is on" of the obstacles to the return of h veri prices. The cloth ralesman would lllrtH to have flour cheaper, but he wants his ) own pay envelope as fat as ev-r. The miller would like to have cheaper cloth ing. but he feels that he at ler. t tot get ting a wage somewhat near his deserts. The man who said he was getting more than he was worth may have hi» faults, however. He may think himself the greatest pinochle player living. Where great strength is, look for groat weakness. Tho Modern Way. From the Detroit Free Press. ”ln the old days women used to wear their fingers off on the scrubbing board.” ^ “And now?” “Now they’re doing the same thing on the ouija board.” Not Like Wall Paper.
