ALFRED G. ABART.
Alfred G. Abart was born at Schuy
ler, Nebraska, November 19, 1882, and
died in the general hospital at Nor
folk. Nebraska, at 2:30 o’clock, Sun
day morning, August 20, 1922, at the
age of thirty-nine years, nine months
and one day. He was the eldest son
of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Abart. He
spent his boyhood days on a farm near
Schuyler, Nebraska, and in 1896
moved with his parents to Oklahoma
where they made their home for two
years moving to Silver Creek, Ne
braska, in 1898, and to Holt county in
1901, and with his parents built a
home four miles south of Emmet. In
1904, he took up the study of teleg
raphy and was employed by the Great
Northern as operator and later be
came ageht at Warwick, South Dako
ta, which position he resigned in or
der that he might take up farming
with his brother Chas. In 1916 he sold
his interests to his brother and re
turned to his former occupation as
operator and worked in many towns
as relief agent until he bid in the Em
met station in 1919 where he remained
until his death.
The deceased leaves a mother, Mrs.
Jennie Crawford, three brothers, John
of Basset, Chas., of Emmet, and
Arthur of Lincoln; one sister, Mrs.
Henry Strasheim, of Lincoln, three
half-brothers, William, Archie and
Carl Crawford, of Emmet, and one
half-sister, Miss Mabel Crawford, of
Lincoln.
Alfred was a single man. He enjoy
ed the confidence and good will of a
host of friends where ever he was
known. He was a friend to everyone
and everyone who knew him held him
in high esteem. He was quite well
known at O’Neill where he worked as
an operator some years ago.
He was taken sick Friday afternoon
with an acute attack of appendicitis.
Arrangements were made to take him
to Sioux City but when they reached
Norfolk he became rapidly worse; he
was removed from the train and an
operation performed at once, but he
failed to recover and died the follow
ing morning.
The funeral services were held at
Schuyler Tuesday morning at 10
o’clock under the auspices of the
Masonic order. He was a member of
Garfield Lodge No. 95, of O’Neill. He
was also a member of the local lodge
of I. 0. O. F.

W. C. T. U. CONVENTION
HELD AT PAGE
The ladies of the W. C. T. U. at
Page entertained the delegates of-the
different unions of Holt county Tues
day, August 22nd in a highly com
mendable manner, a courtesy much
appreciated by the visiting delegates.
At noon time the tables fairly groaned
with the load of good things to eat.
At supper the tables were again loaded
and about one hundred people were
served.
We are proud to mention the fact
that Miss Lucile Hough, of O’Neill,
won the silver medal and Mrs. Ethel
Wagers, of Page, won the gold medal
in the contest given that evening.
The program for the day was a
complete success and gives evidence of
much time and energy having been
spent in preparation.
Regardless of the heat, long auto
rides and late trains 'twas generally
pronounced a wonderful day. ***
WHAT THE WILSON

(Continued from page four.)
tary purpose of the United States.
Not only were those contracts con
tinued, but moneys of the Govern
ment were used to continue and com
plete other projects, such as by-pro
duct coke ovens for private concerns.
In some cases the contracts were so
unskillfully drawn as not to be subject
to cancellation when the war closed.
In some cases the administration pro
ceeded with the expenditures, fully in
tending to do so. A fair example of
this is the Muscle Shoals project.
That plant was located by President
Wilson against the protest of his sci
entific advisers. It was a political
location. A contract was m^de with
the Air Nitrate Corporation for its
construction which, if valid, puts the
Government in the power of. that cor
poration. Seven months after the
first contract was made the War De
partment deliberately made a new
contract in lieu of the first raising the
royalty if the Government should at
tempt to operate the plant, after the
war, from 6 mills per pound of pro
duct to 1% cents a pound, giving ad
ditional fees for construction and giv
ing to the Air Nitrates Corporation
the first right to purchase the prop
erty if the Government should decide
to sell it after the war.
Mr. Longworth. Would the gentle
man mind stating at that point what
was the capital of the Air Nitrate
Corporation ?
Mr. Graham of Illinois. It was a
Delaware corporation capitalized at
51,000.
Mr. uooper ot Wisconsin, was all
this under Secretary of War Baker?
Mr. Graham of Illinois. Yes.
It made another with the Alabama
Power Co. by which it expended $5,
L67 277.42 on land belonging to that
company; the ordnance officers, act
ing directly under orders of the Sec
retary of War, finished an industrial
village for this grasping corporation
after the armistice was signed, and
spent much of the sum above named
ivhen it was no longer necessary to do
10. In order to fasten upon the coun
try irretrievably the Government
pperation of this work, with feverish
laste the War Department began the
Puilding of the so-called Wilson Dam
across the Tennessee River at that
place. Although work on this dam
had been stopped, when the President
saw that the war was over, on Novem
ber 9, 1918, he issued an order that
vork be at once recommenced and
-ushed on this dam. Up to the time
if the signing of the armistice only
ibout one month’s work had been done
>n the dam and only a small amount
lad been expended on this dam of the
>13,385,000 allotted for that purpose.
York was rushed, and the entire bal
ince unexpended, together with about
£5,000,000 transferred from another
'und, was spent so that there could
>e no going backward. Not only was
;his done but over $1,250,000 was
spent in opening up a quarry after the
plant was shut down and against re
peated protests in Congress. Ap
proximately $25,000,000 was spent at
Muscle Shoals after the armistice.
\nd today, entangled in this mess of
pad contracts and inefficiency and
vaste, we are sending committees to
Muscle Shoals, and the Republican ad
ninistration is faced with the neces
sity of trying to find some way to
solve these questions originating in
she desire of President Wilson to
puild up one part of the country under
she guise of a war necessity and at
•Vin nvnomon nf tVio PllKll/* TrooeillMT
All sorts of embarrassing and un
fortunate situations arose out of this
war, because of the failure of the last
administration to observe even rea
sonable care to secure our national
rights. A better example can not be
rited than in our sale of surplus war
material to France. We had over
$2,000,000,000 worth of such material
in France when the war closed and
scores of millions of dollars worth of
this was shipped to France after the
armistice such as 30,000 new automo
biles. When we talked of moving this
material home or selling it at retail,
France informed us if we did we must
pay $150,000,000 in import tariffs. No
one in the administration apparently
had ever had judgment enough to have
it understood that we were not to be
subject to such exactions. We had no
understanding at all, and so we had to
sell this material to France, on 10
years’ deferred payments, for $400,
000,000. Then France arranged a sale
of part of it to jobbers, and they ship
ped it into the United States without
paying any customs duty. When we
passed a bill in the House to stop this
importation, it met solid Democratic
opposition, and its timely passage in
the Senate was prevented by Demo
cratic objections there.
Nor was this all of the War De
partment expenditures. There was a
legacy of debts and claims which will
plague us for a hundred years. In
the closing days of the Democratic
Sixty-fifth Cnogress on, March 2,
1919, the notorious Dent Act was pro
posed and passed. It was claimed it
was necessary in order to permit a
speedy settlement of war claims by
the Secretary of War. After the pas
sage of the act it was found that
thousands of claims existed for which
there was not.a scratch of a pen as
evidence. Over 30,000 claims were
filed before a board set up by the Sec
rets ry of War, and as a result of the
operations of the board up to January
4, 1922, $484,425,566.11 have been paid
out, much of it without the existence
of a contract, most of it without an
accounting, and practically all of it
without any legal justification at all,
except in the language of the Dent

Act itself. During the Sixty-sixth
Congress the protests of the Republi
can majority in this House against
actions of the War Department on
these claims were frequent, but the
protests were unavailing. To illus
trate the loose and grossly inexcus
able way in which these claims were
allowed, in a recent summing up by
Brigadier General Lord, Chief of Fi
nance of the Army, he finds on an
audit of approximately one-tenth of
these paid claims three has been over
paid, in these few settlements to war
contractors, $46,000,000. There is but
little doubt that on an audit of these
claims vast sums will be found to have
been paid either from carelessness or
absolute collusion with war contract
ors. To see to the return of these
sums unjustly paid is one of the tasks
of the present administration. * * *
Under various Liberty loan acts
President Wilson was authorized to
purchase bonds from the countries en
gaged in war with our enemies, bear
ing the same interest, of the same
maturities and same conditions as the
bonds we issued and sold to our peo
ple. Under this authority President
Wilson dispensed to our allies and to
i flock of little nations whom he was
seeking to incubate immense sums,
which, witl* the interest accrued and
unpaid, now amount to more than $11,
900,000,000. The act authorized loans
to our allies. About $300,000,000 of
that money was loaned to countries
not in the war at all. One billion five
hundred million dollars of it was loan
ed by, the Secretary of the Treasury
after the armistice, and when every
reasonable man will concede he had no
right to do so under the law.
Mr. Johnson of Mississippi. Does
hat include the Liberian loan of $5,
)00,000 ?
Mr. Graham of Illinois. No, it does
lot; but the Liberian loan was like a
ot of other things left over by the
ast administration. The faith of this
Government was pledged by the last
idministration, and when the present
idministration came into power it had
either to refuse to keep the promises
that you fellows had made in the name
if the Government, or go through
with it.
