THE REAL DANGER
I believe too many of us ar
worried about the prifligate spend
ing of the Roosevelt administra
tion. The thing which turns th
World-Herald and other stronj
democratic sheets against the ad
ministration — the thing whicl
caused forty of the leading demo
crats of the nation to meet in De
troit last Friday to devise mean
for defeating Roosevelt—the thinj
most to be feared in the politica
life of America today is the pos
sibility of our democracy beinj
stolen from us and a Dicta tor ia
form of government substitute!
for it. Going into bankruptcy is
deplorable, but losing our inde^
pendence is far worse, and I be
lieve as truly as I believe that the
sun will rise tomorrow, that the
threat hangs over America today.

Revolution is Not
Impossible
One remark frequently heard, ii
J discussion of the deplorable situ
ation in Spain is that such a thinj
would be impossible in the Unite<
Spates.
It is going a little too far to say
however, that revolution is impos
sible in the United States. Foi
there are revolutions and revlu
tions. The temperment of the Ger
man people is generally regardec
as somewhat stolid., yet in the ush
ering in of the Hitler regime, then
can be no question that the Reicf
has had a revolution which is
about as complete as anything of
the kind that has happened any
where in the past. There was no
great amount of fighting or real
warfare when Hitler took charge.
He won in the general elections and
then simply proceeded to take
charge “under the constitution”
and, step by step to nullify that
constitution until today is seems
j decidedly archaic.
All revolutions are not accom
panied with bloody fighting. Some
times they are accomplished peace
fully, and often so gradually that
the people tliemselves may nob
wholly understand what is going
on. The American people love
their constitutional government
and have a horror of civil strife.
So if there is an over-turn of our
government it will perhaps come
before the people have realized it
and after the horse has been stolen
and the lock pried from the stable
door.
There can be no question that
business was being regimented
under the Blue Eagle. There can
be no question either as to the
efforts of the Agricultural Admin
istration to regiment the farmer,
and to tax the user of the farmer’s
commodities to pay the bill. The
supreme court fortunately held
that they violated constitutional
government as well. Consequent
ly there must have been a revolu
tion under way when these execu
tive arms of the government were
put into action. So it would seem
that there can really be a revol
ution of government in the United
States, althopgh it cannot be peace
fully successful until those who
want to change our system, shall
do something first about the su
preme court.—Scottsbluff Repub
lican.
The Holt County Convention of

Mr. May Retained
as Pastor
The fourth quarterly conference
was held at the Methodist church
last Manday evening with District
Superintendent Rev. W. A. Al
bright. There was a good attend
ance and all of the reports were
good and afforded a lot of encour
agement. By a vote of the confer
ence the pastor, Rev. A. J. May
and wife were unanimously invited
to return to the church for another
year.
The following officers were elect
ed for the coming year: Trustees:
W. P. Curtis, J. S. Ennis, Walter
Young, H. L. Lindberg, H. B.
Burch, C. W. Porter, L. G. Gilles
pie and Ted McElhaney.
Stewards: F. M. Reece, Rev. D.
S. Conard, Archie Bowen, Orton
Young, Mrs. Harold Lindberg, Mrs.
Enard Leach, Charles Yarnell, Mrs.
Esther Harris, Mrs. J. A. Naylor,
Mrs. W. P. Curtis, Gertrude Con
rad.
An exchange says that counter
feiters are arrested for passing
bad bills and wants to know why
congressman are not arrested on
the same charge. The difference
is that the counterfeiters make
their bad bills while congress—oh
well, you know the rest of it.

Hail destroyed crops at the Lin
coln institutions this spring, and at
only three institutions where irri
gation is practiced has anything
been saved. Those three are the
Kearney industrial school, Hastings
state hospital and the Grand Island
soldiers’ home. At the latter two
institutions pump irrigation is car
ried on extensively.
Members of the board intimate
that the food situation at the var
ious institutions may present a
serious problem in View of the des
truction of crops and the rising
food prices.
Nebraska’s finances, so far as
the state government is concerned,
are looking up, what with the
cash balance in the treasury in
creasing 81,381,000 during the first
three weeks of August. The total
last week was 89,627,000.
State Treasurer Hall said that
the balance should go down in the
next four months with the state
spending more than $22,000,000 a
year.
The state board of educational
lands and funds recently author
ized the purchase of $300,000 worth
of U. S. government bonds bearing
2.75 per cent intrest and obtainable
on the present market at a yield
of 2.61 per cent.
The state’s trust fund invest
ments now total $13,644,036. Only
1.8 per cent of this amount, or
$256,485, is deliquent, and if irri
gation and drainage district obli
gations owned by the various trust
funds were eliminated, the per
centage of delinquency would be
only .8 of one per cent, according
to the state treasurer who claims
this is a remarkable showing.
Nebraska’s old age pensioners
have been dying at the rate of
about four a day since the old age
assistance program got under way
last sjyring. More than 500 have
died since that time, but there are
still more than 21,000 on the lists.
There are more than 2,500 appli
cations for old age pensions wait
ing consideration, and Director
Tolen believes the 25,000 mark will
be reached.
A BETTER RURAL STATUS
Hon Robert G. Simmons, repub
lican candidate for the United
States senate, presents an ideia
which, at first glance, might appear
to be doubtful. Potentially it
might seem discriminatory in es
sence. However, upon closer an
alysis, it will be declared econom
ically and politically sound, as well
as timely. He would, when it be
comes necessary for the purpose of
retaining parity for the agricul
tural industry, apply the payment
of benefits, as provided for in the
republican national platform, “to
the operation of the family-sized
farm only, and not to large corpor
ation operators.” The economical
element in this proposal is the em
ployment of more men and the
greater permancy of individually
owned and operated farms. The
improvement of rural living con
ditions is universally deemed nec
essary. Individual farm homes,
permanently owned and operated,
are the essence, the without
which-not, of rural life. Politi
cally it is sound—the farmers of
the nation, individual owners and
operators, have always been a sta
blizing factor in governmental
affairs. Mr. Simmons’ thought
along this line is only one more
very good reason why Nebraska
should elect him to succeed Senator
Norris.—Grand Island Republican.

TRUE TO FORM.
It must be admitted that the
state administration has run true
to the national democratic form.
The appropriations for the bien
nium are the largest in the history
of the state and seventeen new
boards and commissions are said
to have been created in the last
year. The democrats, however,
claim that no new taxes have been
added, but the consolatory effect of
this contention disappears jwhen
one sits down to figure up the total
amount of his old taxes. A new
tax, as we understand it, is one
that nobody else thought of before.
