of complete Fisk equipment began years
ago with the purchase of a single tire. Ex

John Hull is reported as worrying
because his girl workers in factories
are smoking, but, of course, that is
not as much to worry about as if they

It is best to be on the lookout
where you fling your firecrackers to

flagrations. And it does not cost any

We may next expect to hear that
Geimany has abandoned the coal
legion because coal is not needed in
the warm months, and it is a wise
strategic move to put the burden of
operating the mines on the allies.

A debating society has taken tho
momentous question: ''Is a woman
justified in giving up alimony in or
der to marry again?'' Of course she
is, if she wants to. r.nd it would prove
very satisfactory to the former hus
band, no doubt.
:o:
Another time-honored theory ex
ploded. They have it that the home
of John Davis, near Fremont, was
struck in the same pli.ee three times
one night last week by ljghtning. The
old theory then, that ''lightning never
strikes twice in the same place,"
doesn't hold good.
:o:
Every man and eveiy woman in
this country can do one thing for the
common good, if they areunable to
do anything else; they can stand up
for their native land in their homes,
in their churches, in their social cir
cles, in places of business and on the
streets. Nothing is so inexcusable as
a failure to defend your own govern
ment at a time like this, when the
price of so doing is but the courage
to be fair with yourself.

STIMULATE PATRIOTISM.
The United States government ii
'not overlooking anything in its effort
to stimulate patriotism, and that is ai
it should be, and that is why the peo
ple of this country are being urged
to celebrate Independence day on tho
high patriotic plane of former times.
Here is what the committee on pub
lic information has issued pertaining
to the. celebrating of the Fourth of
July:
"This coming Fourth of July should
be observed throughout the land in
spirit which recalls all the signifi
cance of the day to a democracy at
war for its ideals and its threatened
existence. Noise and useless illumina
tion and unthinking celebration have
no proper place in times such a
these. Let there be a return to those
ceremonies and addresses which pre
vailed in other days. Citizenship has
taken on today a new significance as
service, not for those in the rank
alone, for for every civilian. Sacri
fices will be asked on the battle line
and behind it. It would be utter fu
tility to prepare our nation for the
tasks that confront it by firecrackers
and skyrockets and rhetorical boast
ing. Lei the ceremonies this year
contain a message to the better spirit
of America. Give our people tho
solid facts that bring home to them
the issues of this war as America's
war, not by its own seeking, but be
cause it was thrust upon us by an
insolence that has flaunted every
standard of national and international
morality and violated in succession
every pledge it made us. This is th
nation's day, but the springs of na
tional life are in the community where
neighbor meets neighbor and each
helps the other in conference on their
common interests. This Independence
day should see each community gath
ered for sober and heartening discus
sion of the problems and responsibili
ties of our great democracy at war.
''Every organization should co-operate
to make it such a celebration a -,
will carry to every home and every
element among our people the gravity
of issues that strike to the very root
of the nation born 141 years ago and
dedicated to freedom. We are en
gaged today in a struggle which will
determine whether the ideas on which
our republic was founded shall sur
vive. No better service can he ren
dered than by a thoughtful exposiiicrt
of our direct and vital interest in the
successful issue of the war that in
volves the perpetuity of free govern
ments and national independence.
"Let every citizen and community
set aside this birthday of the nation
to the solemn duty of consecrating
themselves and all they have and arf
to the great task of making a world
in which they and their children's
children may dwell under the flag of
their fathers free from the menace of
militarism and happy in the posses
sion of a land dedicated anew on the
world's battle line of democracy to
self-government and human rights."
. Lieutenant Colonel Harding, gov
vrnor of the Panama canal, states in
his monthly report for May that thr
total number of ships making the
transit of the canal during the month
was 108. The aggregate net tonnage
of the ships passing through the canal
was 522,017, Panama canal measure
ment, and the total cargo carried
through tho canal was G17.103 long
tons. Collection of tolls amounted to
$lo8,207.75.
-:o:
The chautauqua is past for this
year, and so successful did it prov
that we are assured another next year
but a better location should be se
lected, by every reason possible. The
present location may suit some, but
not all, by a long shot.

The Nebraska State band comes to
morrow (the Fourth of " July), and
those who fail to hear this great mu
sical organization will miss a rare
treat. It is one of the best bands in
the land.

When you expect something for
nothing you ought to get it in the
neck.
:o:-
Great growing weather, this.
Stop and listen. Do not make up
your mind immediately, until you have
heard the other side of any story.
Now that the American troops are
on French soil, the Paris date line will
be looked for with more interest than
ever.

This is the season to take the kinks

According to dispatches Porto Rico
has brought her regiment of infantry
to the United States army to full
war strength of 1,909 men. Porto Rico
is certainly all right in every respect,
:o:
Tom Hall, railroad commissioner, is
not doing much talking these days.
He used to be at it all the time. May
be he has lost his voice. We trust" not.
Tom is a pretty good fellow and wo
would be sorry if such a misfortune
should overcome him.
WILSON THE WORLD'S BEST BET.
Adherents of the kaiser in this coun
try have sought to discredit President
Wilson by denouncing him as a tool
of the allies.
Events from day to day are unmis
takeably showing how erroneous is
that sort of designation. For as a
matter of fact they show that all of
the countries involved in this war
aside from tho central powers, who
are under the despotic domination of
the kaiser, and all of the neutrals, are
openly acknowledging the leadership
of President Wilson and the American
republic.
Isn't that so? Some time ago tho
president set out the purposes of this
country in the war. lie declared" that
we are seeking no indemnities and
have no schemes of conquest, but on
the contrary desire only to make the
world safe for democracy and protect
our nation, its rights and its people.
Great Britain and France had not
gone so far as that. There was
reason to suspect that they hoped to
extend their power and domain
through the medium of the war, or
at least get the better of peace con
ditions. But under the pressure of the
president's declaration they had to
formally renounce all such possible
hopes, and they hesitated to officially
assure the Russian revolutionists that
they approved and endorsed and con
curred in his declaration. In pleading
for a general war board Colonel
George Harvey has expressed it aptly
in saying:
"Most important of all is the safe
guarding of the president himself. No
man living possesses a tithe of the
power for good or ill, here and every
where, which presently he will hold
in his hands. Events have placed him
at the head, not merely of the armies
and navies of the United States, but
of all the mighty forces arrayed
in battle for the preservation of
human freedom. Already France and
England, by promptly revising their
attitude towards Russia to conform to
his, have testified their eager willing
ness to follow his lead. From this
day forward his slightest nod will
"bear the force of a universal com-
"mand, to be heeded gladly and grace
fully by the millions who recognize
that, since America must win the war,
to America must fall the right to
point the way. So great a task, so
grave an obligation, never before con
fronted human being."
Is the president or the kaiser the
world's best bet? Backed by the peo
ple of the United States and their
ideals, who can have a doubt that
Wilson is? Lincoln Star.
