SERVING AMERICA LAST.
Our large standing aimy of gad
ders who have scattered sunshine and
small change through Europe every
year for many years are apt to look
about for other lands to lamp, now
that old War is mussing up the map
of Europe. And it wouldn't be
strange if their search should reveal
this land of the free as a source of
suitable sights. Most of the trans
Atlantic tourists come out ot our
eastern states, and theiefofe reach
tidewater without seeing much of
their country. With the hostile quar
antine on their European play ground,
many of them may come west to dig
up with the country, and have their
notions of the Great Plains and points
west brought up to dale. They shall
see something worth while, although
little of the wild and wooly, which
they may expect, but much that is
worth while, for her-? is a country
which hasn't a grudge against its
neighbors, and is building up almost
as fast as Europe is being torn down,
which is going some, and it also has
beauty spots which can bear compar
ison with the Alps, and California lies
beyond our mountains in just as many
languages as Italy co.ld beyond her
well known mountain barrier. In
spots, such as Nebrasna, there may be
lacking a servile clas. eager to take
tips, but the cost of living is so high
in other respects that the weary wan
derers should feel perfectly at home,
as is their way when not there. Amer
ica has rivers just as wet and scen
ically wonderful as the Rhine, if not
as well watched, and as blue as the
Danube; cutting the livers and har
bors appropriation made most of our
rivers blue, y'understand. Of course,
this country hasn't much to offer in
the way of ruins, but with the in
creased supply in Europe, ruins are
becoming awfully common and of only
passing interest. Taking it by and
large, if you can get it, America is
a great little country, i:nd worth see
ing even to those who have seen
everything else.
:o:-
The cost of the war, according to
the New York Evening l ost, costs the

day. All this money must be paid
Lack by taxation, in addition to keep
ing up the present military equip
ment of each nation, which will have
to be increased ithe war leaves the
parties' territory intact. In the
meantime Belgium has been absolute
ly ruined. There will be no funds to
recoup her. Her people have been
killed, her industries destroyed, her
cities obliterated, her people driven
from the soil, and all this in a cause
in which she has no interest and was
only desirous of keeping out of it.
:o:
There were good years and there
were bad years in the land of Pha
raoh, and they generally came in sev
ens. We find in the Bible that there
were seven good years and seven bad
years. Our seven br.d years began
in 1!((7, and by all of the biblical
rules we should be entering now on
the cycle of good ones. To pursue the
Bible further: "And all countries
came into Egypt to Joseph for to
buy corn, because that the famine
was sore in all lands." With corn
above 70 cents and wheat above a dol
lar, to say nothing of the demand in
all of the lands that are busy killing
men instead of putting in crops, the
business of the United States is about
to enter upon the biblical phase of
seven years of plcnteousness.

perhaps who knows? when Pres-

republic, and when historians come
to assign him his place in history, they
win nass over the irreat domestic
measures of his administration, such
as tariff revision, currency legislation,

keep the United Stales out of war
constitute his clearest title to the

HOW WILL YOU VOTE?
How many voters ir. Nebraska have
made up their minds as to the gen
eral propositions that will be sub-
mitted to their direct vote at the corn-
ing elections? How many can tel
what the questions avo that are to
be voted on? Inquiiy. even amon
fairly well informed people, discloses
a surprising lot of ignorance on these
important matters
There are three constitutiona
amendments which are being pub-
lished and submitted in the regular
order, and one that is submitted un-
der the new referendum law. The
three published amendments are: No
1. providing for "nroerressive taxa-
tion;" No. 2, providing for verdict by
five-sixths of the jury in civil cases
and in trials for crime less than fel-
pnies; No. 3, raising the salary of the
governor to $5,000 and that of the
attorney ceneral to $4,000. These

The equal suffrage amendment was
initiated by petition. It changes the
qualifications for votcis by striking

The university removal proposition

but a referendum initiated in the leg-

There are two cases of the refer-
endum being invoked by popular pe
tition. They are the appropriation
for an armory at Nebraska City and
the woman's compensation act. These
bills were passed by the legislature
and they would have become law had
not petitions been interposed to pre-
vent them taking effect. They are
therefore to be submitted to the vot

PRAY FOR OURSELVES.
Now that the American people have
devoted a day to praying for peace
in Europe, would it not be a good
thing to do, to spend a day now and
then in prayer for our own country
and our own people? Our prayers
may not reach the spot in Europe
and may not be heard above the
clash and din of battle, and possibly
the divinity that is sr aping the des
tiny of mankind is working out some
far-reaching plan, and is purifying
the old world in the crucible war.
Praying for peace in Europe is a
chance shot, hoping that it may hit
the mark, but not so when we pray
for ourselves and our own people.
When one prays earnestly for him
self, he never misses the mark. He
may not get what he prays for he
may not deserve what he would like
to have but the fact that he believes
in prayer and believes that there is
a power that might answer his sup
plications, makes him a better man.
And when a man is sd deeply in ear
nest that he prays for something, he
then is in a frame of mind to work
for it and devote his time and tal
ents in getting results. Prayer helps
the individual to help himself, and
that is more than half the battle.
And what we -have in mind is, that
the American people pray for them
selves pray that they may be a
more law-abiding, God-fearing peo
ple; that they may have more love
and charity in their hearts for one
another; that they may be just and
honest in their business dealings; that
the poor and the distressed may
share in the abundance of those who
havo much; that labor may receive
its just reward, and that the sower I
may be a joint-partnor with him who
eans: that moralitv must not be
4 w -
measured by money, and that man
hood is more precious than great
riches; that the public service must
be held as sacred as is the honor of
the home. These things are of far
greater importance to the American
people than are the dreadful condi
tions in Europe. These things affect
our daily life, our prosperity and our
happiness, and they arc things that
are shaping the future and that will
bear fruit according to their kind.
These things are worth praying for,
and whenever the . American people
earnestly pray for them, their pray
ers will be answered answered by
the people themselves. And coning
loser home, whenever the people of
Cass county begin to pray for better
ocal conditions, cleaner politics and
cleaner administration of county
and city affairs, their prayers will be
answered. WThen the people begin to
pray for these things, they will begin
to vote for them, and by voting for
hem they will answer their own

prayers. It does not require a mira
cle nor a thunderbolt from the skica
to elect honest men to office or to
enforce the law. It is entirely proper
and right to pray for peace, but
prayers, like charity, should begin at
home. Our own house should first
be put in order.

W. K. Fox is running for a second
term as county treasurer, with excel

office, and- since the law rays he cun-

art very likely t3 hini the sec

official the second term, when he has
filled the poiuoii acceptable to the
