:o:-
This is the proper way to win.
Political rumors are rife about
Lincoln.
:o:-
There are some fellows in the
ttate house that must vamouse.
Time's up.
-:o:-
tlirls are always looking for some
thin? new to read. How about the
New Testament?
:o:
Some people seem to think more of
politics than they do the salvation of
the country. This is no time for pol
itics. :::-
The next time Russia has a chance
to da something for herself she'll
decide to try democracy instead of
anarchy.
:o:
Faster Sunday conies several weeks

tf an early spring? The weather
prophets say it is.

but usually forgets to mention the
si:e shoe she requires.
:o:-
It tan hardly be said to be Petro
grad any more, and no official notice
has come that it has been restored to
St. Petersburg. Obviously, then, it
must be Petrograd.
-:o:-
This is the time when we should
lu!ov no distinction between demo
crat or republican, only as a loyal
genuine American citizen and lover
of the Stars and Stripes and his coun
try. Isn't a good schoolmarni worth
her weight in gold? Yes, she is.
Then why should she not be paid a
salary in accordance with her worth?
Then we say raise the salaries of
the school marms.
:o:-
It is believed that Von Ilertling
would give up Alsace-Lorraine,
Schleswig-IIolstein and most of Ba
varia for peace, provding he c,ou!d
retain his present privilege of call

:o:-
A total eclipse of the sun. which
will K-cur June S, 1918, will be the
largest and most important of a
lifetime in all the southern states.
This eclipse will be visible through
out the I'nited States.
:o:
To further encourage city men to
flock to the country to help men
on to the farm the coming sum
mer, we would suggest that unless
you have milked a bobtailed cow in
fly time you do not know how to
appreciate good health.
:o:-
Who is it wears a wide spread
m;le on the corner stands, and gaily
t-Iap-s you on the back and wrings
your honest hands, and whispers in
your shell like ear from early morn
till night of how reluctant he has
been lo get into the fight? Who is
it yielded to his friends when he was
begged to run, and boasts but for the
shouting the race is o'er and won?
Ai.d who will save the nation from
its dire impending fate? It is that
tiresome, gabby gook, the chronic
candidate.

Temptations are a file, which rub

Spend but spend wisely! Save and
save earnestly! Buy war savings

February had to give us a fare
well shot with another snow storm,
gentle though it was.
The only news in the list of mar
riage licenses'in Plattsmouth among

The way the Russians have been
fighting lately, even the crown, prob

The Polslieviki's. who last week

parently have thought better of it.

The smartest thing Xicl- olas Rom
anoff ever did was to hop off freni
the merr3'-go-round the minute it be
gan to revolve.
:o :
The French government is said to
have ordered one million footballs.
Put of all the Allies the French do
the least kicking.
:o:-
Laclide, Mo., the town in which
General Pershing was born, has be
gun planning a patriotic festival for
July 4th. which it hopes to make of
state-wide importance.
:o:
If Germany sets up a new czar in
Russia, probably it Avill find it
handier to keep him right in Ber
lin, where there will be no chance
for the kaiser's orders to him to mis
carry.
The investigation of the packers
is stringing out quite long so long,
in fact that the credulous public will
begin expecting something to come
of it unless it is cut off very soon,
now.
:o:
A Washington editor would make
all candidates for national office sub
mit to a questionnaire. Just why
should a candidate be tempted to lie
any more than he would in an ordi
nary campaign?
:o:
Since 191 8 promises to be an ex
traordinary year in so many re
spects, we all hope the Chau
tauqua will try to find a place on
their program this summer for some
one else besides the "man with a
message."
:o:-
The average wife feels that if she
really knew all she suspects about
her husband she could not live with
him another minute. Then, because
she loves him so that she could not
endure being parted from him.rshe
tries to find out all she can. For so
runneth the feminine mind.
-:o:
An Ohio man has sued for divorce
just because his wife tied his hands,
put a rope around his neck, dropped
him into a 16-foot cistern and then
deserted him. Now if she had re
fused to sew on a button there
might have been some reason for
seeking a divorce, but the Ohio man's
excuse is entirely loo flimsy.
-:o:
's O nation on earth could have
made such extensive preparations in
one year as the United States has in
the past twelve months, and we find
those who knock on the administra
tion for being slow. The progress
made in this country even baffles the
Kaiser, who has been preparing Ger
many for this war for at least twen
ty years or more. Give us that
much time and Germany wouldn't be
it.
HERTLKIG'S CAMOUFLAGE.
The confidence to be put iu the lat- 1
est peace declaration of the German
chancellor is to be measured by Ger- :
many's action in Russia. Count Von
Hertling's "fundamental agreement"
with President Wilson's four princi
ples makes curious reading in the
light of annexations and indemnity
imposed on the vanquished Petro
grad government.
The only Germany that can be
trusted is a Germany chastened by
defeat. K. C. Star.

DISOWNING MR. NORKIS.
Just, why Mr. Norris lays claim
to the republican vote is not very
clear to most of us. He has per
sistently refused to vote with the
republicans or act with them on
coin mi tees. In fact, he has taken
pains to pull away from them, and
he is not recognized by the party as
being one of them. David City Run

DOMESTIC DUTIES.
Harold, themly son of a wealthy
widowed mother, was selectively
drafted and duly arrived at the camp
where he was to receive Instruction
in the manly art of warfare. Imag
ine his surprise and chagrin when
he was detailed to what is known as
K. P. duty. In this he become quite
proficient, however, as the following
quotation from his letter shows:
"Dear Mother I put in this en
tire day washing dishes, sweeping
floors, making beds and peeling po
tatoes. When I get home from this
camp I'll make some girl a mighty
line wife." Saturday Evening Post.
:o:
KNOCKING ON THE CAMPS.
From the way some daily papers
like to "play up" the supposed hor
rible conditions in the various camp6:,
where the soldiers are in training, it
would seem that a good daub of yel
low paint, would be very appropriate
for them. Of course the cantonments
are no amusement parks nor do they
have as elaborate furnishings as the
swell hotels, but they are far more
convenient than any other army on
earth has ever had, and it is mighty
cheap business for a bunch of ca
lamity howlers and space fillers to
keep pouring out terrible wails
about conditions which are exagger
ated. The "folks at home" have
enough to worry about after giving
up their loved ones for the army
without being told every day or two
that the boys are dying from want
of comforts these cold days when
they have steam heated carcps and
spring beds and the finest medical
attention and best of meals to give
them strength to endure more hard
ships than simply dancing or playing
some piano. Tekamah Herald.
-:o:
SPY WORK?
Arson is a crime easy to commit,
hard to detect. Romb-planting is a
variant dear to cowardly assassins.
From neither would a Germany that
has poisoned wells in France and
South Africa, distributed germs of
cattle disease in Rumania and plot
ted in Japan and Mexico against a
country still neutral, withhold its
hand.
Warnings had preceded and odd
circumstances attend the recent firea
in Newark, Raltimore, Ruffalo; the
mysterious outburst of flames in
rhipn loading for the allies; the
wrecking of bomb-proofs in Newport
with a dozen men slain as in battle.
Agents of the kaiser cannot without
proof be accused of causing such dis
asters. But the manner of them and

their grouping in point of. time may

Court trials of men for crimes of
espionage are constantly affording
evidence of the way in which, accord
ing to witnesses, murder and de
struction by bomb and torch have
been planned. In law, each case
stands by itself; but crimes owning
a common origin may reveal each
other if dovetailed together by pat
ient detective skill.
Spy work must be run down; the
spies nailed. And, unless we mis
take the temper of the American peo
pl?, where men have for almost three
years rewarded our neutrality by
waging a sneaking warfare upon the
Cnited States, and are now in con
tinuing offense, proof -and conviction
should be swiftly followed by ex
treme penalties.

HERE'S YOUR HAT
WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?
According to press dispatches the
kaiser is running short of man pow
er. Here is a glorious opportunity
for his admirers in this country to
show the same loyalty for him.
judging by their expression to get
over there and help him we have
no use for them here Sterling Sun.
:o:-
W710 IS RESPONSIBLE.
Responsibility for the situation of
loyal citiezns of German origin who
now find themselves classified as
alien enemies, seems to be fairly di
vided between their American neigh
bors, sometimes men in office, and
their own indifference. When public
sentiment regards the attaining of
full citizenship as a more technical
ity, it is not strange that candidates
for the honor neglect it. And yet,
it is not easy to understand why
men who have lived for years in
America and as many of them claim
to have done, become lovers of her
institutions and her ideals, should
neglect the opportunity to declare
wholehearted allegiance to a land
that has given them freedom and
wealth and advancement for their
children. Happily a new day is in
sight, when native citizens of the
United States will appreciate their
birthright and will not allow others
to take its privileges lightly. Ne
braska has a duty to perform in re
vising her voting laws. York New
Teller. :o:
The real blessing, mercy, satisfac
tion, is not in the having or the lack
of merely outward things, but in the
consciousness that the true sources
of life and happiness are deeper than
all these.
:o:
While the public is being slowly
but surely prepared for an ice short
age this summer, it isn't possible,
is it, that the electric fan interests
are overlooking any bets along the
way?

Emperor Charles might just as
well have laid it this way: "Thanks

SAYS THE RECORD WILL COUNT.
The Fremont gathering did not
engage in endorsement or candidates,
but as a representative body of re
publicans of all shades of pre-existing
sentiment it was made very plain
that no man whose sentiments and
record do not tally with the resolu
tions of sturdy Americanism adopted
will have little show of political suc
cess this year. Fremont Tribune.

A PERTINENT QUERY.
The Hastings Tribune contains an
ominous two-line threat that Gover
nor Neville will do well to reflect
before he calls an extra session. Just
what body of people docs the Tri
bune represent that will be incens
ed if the governor provides' the
means for the soldiers of this state
to cast their ballot the same as oth

MRS. SAUL.
The woman pays always!
Whatever the final outcome of the
criminal proceedings following the
scandal at Geneva the woman in
the case is paying!
The superintendent of the Indus
trial School for Girls at t hat town
has resigned at the request of the
board of control. Further invesiga
tion of the institution has been con
ducted by that board, the results of
which will be published laten A
former bandmaster of the school is
in custody awaiting trial on the
charge of administering illegal
drugs to a girl instructor whom he
is alleged to have seduced. The un
fortunate girl herself has been mar
ried to a man she did not love, in
order to give a name to her child yet
unborn. She left this convenient
husband shortly after the marriage.
She, like every one of her thous
ands and thousands of sisters in the
history of this brutal world is pay
ing! The man now accused in open
court may be innocent or guilty a
jury will decide that.
She may have been a good girl or
a bad girl, with or without oppor
tunities, tempted or temptress, lielp
ed or hindered no matter!
She is paying!
She is required to appear in a
crowded court room, before hund
reds of the morbidly curious, and
bare every detail of her shame.
"Shame!" an ugly word. and
much abused.-' even as the women to
whom it is so often applied. It is
something unknown to many men re
sponsible for such circumstances. It
is something peculiarly feminine in
its popular application, we believe.
Did you ever hear of the man in
such case being reported as "baring
every detail of HIS shame?"
We think not. It is the woman
who pays. It is the woman's shame
the woman who shrinks beneath
the accusing finger of thoughtless
scorn. The man may be sent to jail
for a few months or years, but what
centuries in prison would such an
unfortunate young woman, with the
inborn sensitiveness of her sex, en
dure rather than face the eyes of
that court room; the whispers of the
gossips; the stories in the daily
press! What tortures would she wel
come rather than pay the other price
required!
Right or wrong, to her comes the
finest of the physical and mental
torment after such a slip. No court
can case her agony if it set about
to do so. Justice may be done the
man, but the injustice to the woman :
remains! !
Her only hope is to be forgotten.
Poor girl! Right or wrong she
pays! World Herald.

THE WHEAT PRICE SETTLED.
In such a complicated matter as
fixing the price of wheat for next
year's crop there is bound to be
difference of opinion. But now that
the price is determined by the Presi
dent's order there can be no differ
ence of opinion as to the. country's
duly. It is the country's duty to
accept the price fixed nd to go full
speed forward under it.

resulting from last year's small

Look well to their record. What
they have done many times in years
gone by is the best guarantee of fu
