GERMANY CAN NOT
BE STARVED INTO
GIVING UP FIGHT
Bering Jan. 2. "Th- attempt of the
allies tr starve Germany into sur
renders a complete failure," says the
Frankfurter Zeitung.
'T,he German nation will not be con
xyfvcd by hunger, beause there is no
hunger. Of course, we have to pet
along without many things which were
formerly considered necessities and we
are short of fodder, Cut there is suf
ficient food for the whole nation. We
have bread enough and the fact that
the entire grain harvest is under gov
ernment control guarantees just dis
tribution. Some mistakes have un
doubtedly been made, but in the fu
ture rich and poor will be provided
for alike. The bread allowance has
already been raised by one-eighth and
a further increase mav confidently be
expected shortly, a3 the stocks of
wheat and rye are much larger than
the first calculations ifter the harvest
seemed to show. We manage wisely
what we have, squander nothing, and
make use of many things that former
ly were left unnoticed. Our supply of
potatoes is larger than ever before in
the history of the empire and we have
more than enough vegetables, fruit
and sugar.
"When 'the war broke out we had
22,000,000 head of cattle and 22,500
000 of swine, or more than any other
European country, even Russia not
excepted. Lack of fodder compelled
us last fall and winter to reduce our
live slock, but during spring and sum
mer enormous new masses of cattle
and swine were rained and we are,
"therefore, as well off today as at the
beginning of hostilities.
"Even if our own food supply would
not be sufficient we would have noth
ing to fear, because our armies have
opened the road for the import of
mere products of field and garden.
There is always a large surplus of
foodstuffs in southeastern Europe and
Asia Minor and these enormous sup
plies can now easily be brought to
Germany."
P. M. Meisinger of Benson came
'own this afternoon to spend a short
e with his brothers and other rela-
and friends.

in
Do the right thing nt the right time.
Act quickly in time of danger.
In time of kidney danger Doan's
Kidney Pills are most effective.
Plenty cf Plattsmouth evidence of
their worth.
J. L. McKinney, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, says: "Ore of my fam
ily suffered for years from pains in
the back and at time:: the back would
give out completely. The trouble was
due to disordered kidneys. Medicine
after medicine was tried, but none
proved of any value. Doan's Kidney
Pills, however, gave positive relief
and there has been no complaint
since." (Statement given June 8th,
1900.)
OVER FIVE YEARS LATER, Mr.
McKinney said: "Doan's Kidney
Pills have never failed to give the
best of results whenever we have had
occasion to use them "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't

"WATCH PARTY" AT THE -
JACOB MEISINGER HOME
Friday evening there was held a
very jolly old-time "watch party" at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Mei
singer, when several of the friends of
Mr. Meisinger gathered to help
observe the event in a fitting manner,
and it is needless to say that the even
ing was spent in the greatest of enjoy
ment with pinochle as the chief
amusement of the evening. Those tak
ing part in the battle were: Messrs.
John McNuriin, A F. Seybert
and Mr. Meisinger, and they
played a great many games of
pincohle, but the names of the win
ners have not been made public. At
the midniirht - hour the party were
served with a splendid lunch by Mrs
Meisinger, which added to the enjoy
ment of the occasion, and the boys
says it was sure some "feed."
N CAPITAL
The End Comes After an Illness of
Several Mcnths He Was "8
Years Old.
WAS BGHH IN THE SOUTH
WashinLor., D. C, Jan. 2. Joseph
Ruckcr Lamar, associate justice of the
supreme court of the United State;-,
died at his home here tonight after an
illness of several months. He was 58
years old and had been on the su
preme bench five yei.rs.
Justice Lamar had the distinction of
being one of the few members of the
court appointed by a president of op
posite political faith. President Ti.fl
aj pointed him in P.! 10, with only two
precedent.? for such action, those of
Justices Jackson and Lurton.
Justice Lamar was born in Ruck
eisville, Elbert county. Georgia, Octo
ber 11, 1857. He attended the Uni
versity of Georgia and later Bctha.y
college, where he was graduated in
177. He attended the law school at
Washington and Lee university, a i l
was admitted to the bar at Augusta,
Ga., in 187S. He lived at Augusta un
til appoinicd to the supreme couit
bench.
Coming from distinguished southcn
stock, he was one of the few ir.cn
whose family had previously had a
representative on the honch. The
justice was a cousin to Associate
Justice L. Q. C. Lama of Mississippi,
who served on the bench from 188
to 1803.
He was honored by his state by
many positions for which his learning
and ability as a la.vyer fitted hirn.
First he was a member of the Georgia
house of representatives, and in 1S1?2
was appointed by the 'supreme court
of Georgia as one of the commission
ers to prepare a code of laws for the
state, which code was adopted by the
general assembly in He was
again honored on January 1, 1U01, by
appointment to fill an unexpired term
as associate justice of the Georgia su
preme court, and was elected to the
same position at the ensuing election.
In 1005 ho resigned to resume the
practice of the law.
In the practice of the law he largely
represented railroad and other big
corporations and yet, in the clay of
antipathy to corporation lawyers, his
integrity was so highly regarded that
the senate without delay confirmed his
nomination. r'

ATTORNEYS
Hamcr Files Paper Defending Judicial
Dissension, Justice Defined
by Mechein.
From Friday's Daily.
Omaha, Neb., Dec. 20. The sixtenth
annual convention of the Nebraska
State Bar association closed here yes
terday with the election of the follow
ing officers for the coming year: John
N. Drydcn, Kca'ney. president; Fred
Wright, Scottsbluff, C. E. Sandall,
York, and C. E. Abbott, Fremont, vice
presidents; A. G. Ellick, Omaha, sec
retary; Charles G. McDonald, Omaha
treasurer; Fredeiick Shepherd, Lin
ccln, members of tha executive com
mittee.
Answering John C. Haitigan, who
in an address declared that the sub
mittiiig of disserting opinions by su
nreme juuires was wiong, Justice
llamer of the stale supreme court sub
rnitted a paper defending the prac
tice and telling how the judges arrive
at decisions. The paper was riot iea(
but will be included in the records of
the meeting. He tcld how the judges
strive for precedence in opinion, anl
aeclared that there was no more nee J
for secrecy about the deliberations of
a court than any other public office.
Pi of. Floyd R. Mecchem of the Uni
vcjsity of Chicago delivered an ana
lytic dissertation upon the fundament
:.- of law. The paper, which was en
tilled "An Inquiry Concerning Ju
tice," indicated to other barristers tha
their fond belief of "justice courts an J
justice officers" is vr:ig.
frorcssor JHecncm .r.owctl m a ca
rable manner the difficulty of defining
justice, in cither ics natural, abstract
Legal, social, restorative or distiibuta
the meaning. "Our courts are cf law
not of justice," h.j explained. Many
cf these laws, he asserted, have 10
moral aspect, while others are pos
sessed of it in the strongest degree
bocial justice, he sai.l, is even more
difficult to define than judicial justice
Pointing out several of the large
questions involved in the considera
tion of elementary ju "tice in law, he
touched upon private ownership of
lands, with its remplex moral prob
lems; upon the attitude of labor unions
dr man ling removal of competition
in labor markets to regulate prices
whereas interests other than laborers
are branded as criminals, he asserted
for this Fanif? practice: the riht of
mankind to a:n a lielihiod, ar.d the
proposed national inheritance ta::.
KISS LIVINGSTON
ENTERTAINS IN HONOR
OF .MISS HARTFORD
From Friday's Pally.
Last evening the home of Dr. and
Mrs. T. P. Livingston was the scene of
a very pleasant gathering of young
people who were entertained by Miss
Nora Livingston in honor of Miss
Elva Hartlord, who is to have Sunday
for Boone, Iowa, where she is -to at
tend schooJ, and the occasion was a
most pleasant cne, although tinged
with regret over the forthcoming de-
paituie of the hostess for Omaha,
where she will enter Prownell Hall,
the Episcopal school m that city. The
Livingston home was very prettily
ananged with the Christmas decora
tions and in this scene the young peo
ple spent several very pleasant hours
in games, as wel; as singing and dan
cing. A special feature of the even
ing was a Christmas tree on which
were found favors for everyone, and
which added very mujh to the pleas -
ures of the evening. A a suitab'

Deserves Much Commendation.
From Friday's Dally.
The entertainment which was given
by the Episcopal church school at the
Grand theater on Tuesday and an ac
count of which was given in the Jour
nal on Wednesday evening was a most
pleasing afair in every way and it is
only just to state that a great deal of
the success of the entertainment was
due to the personal efforts of Mrs.
W. S. Leete, wife of the rector, who
had the supervision of the affair and
was most successful in handling the
little folks. It was one of the finest
entertainmnts of its kind given in the
city.
NUAL MEETING
dibits h hi mnmnu
NEW YEAR'S DAY
The annual meeting of the Christ
ian church of this city was held New
Year's day at the Modern Woodman
hall and the event was one of the rar
est pleasures and interest to the large
number in :ittendance. The occasion
was added to by a very interesting
program of music, song and story as
well as a most bounteous basket din
ner which the ladies of the church
had prepared and served for the mem
bers of the church at 1 o'clock and it
is needless to say that everyone pres
ent did ample justice to the repast
provided for them. The work of the
ladies in arranging the dinner was the
occasion of a great deal of congratu
lation from the gentlemen who hasten
ed to the scene to do their part in dis
posing of the good things provided.
The dinner disposed of the afternoon
was taken up in the selection of the
officers of the church for thecn.;uing
Vcar as well as listening to the reports
from the different departments of ix.c
church organization and everything
was shown to be in a most flourishing
condition in every way and at the
starting of the new year the treasurer
and clerk were able to turn over the
books with all indebtedness paid and
a neat sum on hand to carry on the
church work. The church has shown
a steady growth since the last meeting
ami is novv in flourishing condition in
every way. Several very pleasing
musical numbers, both vocal and in
strumental were given during the
afternoon by Mesdames Eugene Setz,
Frank Sivey, C. E. Whittiker and O.
C. Hudson, which added very much to
the pleasure and enjoyment of the
members of the congregation present
and each number was a treat in it

manager of the Nebraska Lighting
company, returned home from the east

who will share his future life as his
helpmate. The happy event occurred

ceremony that united the lives of Mr.

a very beautiful and simple one, and
shortly alter the wedding the newly
wedded young people departed for
Chicago and Milwaukee, where they
have been visiting for the past week

ier has prepared a home in this city
for his br-ide and they will at once
start to housekeeping in the cozy
home that has been awaiting the con-
sumation of the happy event. The

daughters of Iola, Kansas, the former
home of both the bride and groom,
and is a lady held in the deepest af
fection by all who have the pleasure
of knowing her, and it is a pleasure
to know that in the future she will
claim Plattsmouth as her home. Dur
ing the time that Mr. Ponsier has been
in this city as the representative of
the light company he has made many
warm friends by his genial and gentle
manly manner and to him and his wife
the best wishes of these friends will
be extended for a long and happy wed
ded life that will be free from care
and sorrow.
