Lenine's threat to declare war on

At home "men on the road" are

Well done, noble hen. You have

It is easy to save if we remember
that by saving we are helping those

If a bill before ' congress passes,
loafers who are in a military class
more favored than Class 1 may find

The bishop of London is paid
$50,000 a year, but is compelled to
spend it all in maintaining a pre

vantages there are in celibacy, it
seems the bishop ought to be given
the benefit of them.
:o:-
Every nearby county is putting on
strong Liberty Bond drives and all
expect to go "over the top" in the
campaign. The zeal being manifest
ed indicates that the government will
be furnished the money with which
to equip our boys to meet the "huns"
on equal terms.
:o:
A chair at a Red Cross sale in
Kansas sold for $142, while a much
more valuable mule brought only
$3 4.75. It also sometimes happens
that the Red Cros3 gains the least
from those who are able to give the
most. But the chief thing about the
Red Cross i3 that it always manages,
somehow.
You will -find at the present mo
ment that whenever an understand
ing of the war penetrates the brain
v
of any man, whether he be laborer,
Socialist, banker, reformer, priest or
poet, from that moment he steps,
willy-nilly,' out of his own rank and
class and into the fighting ranks of
the Republic.
THE WISC0KSIH ELECTION.
The election of Congressman Len
root to the senate from Wisconsin
is more than satisfactory to this
democratic newspaper. Had its ed
tor been a Wisconsin voter his vote
would have been cast for the repub
lican candidate. The injection of
partisian politics into the Wisconsin
campaign was unfortunate to say the
least. The only issue should have
been a patriotic one the annihila
tion of Bergerism and pro-Germanism.
That the unspeakable Berger,
pro-German to the core, should have
polled a hundred thousand votes is a
disgrace to that great state. But his
heavy vote may have a good effect.
It may demonstrate to a lot of peo
ple that pro-Germanism is all too
rampant in this country; that the
authorities have been too all-fired
easy with that class, and that, the
time is come when mere fines and de
tention in easy camps will not suf
fice to stamp out the evil. Under
similar circumstances a Berger in
Germany would receive short shift.
and the Wisconsin admirer of the
Kaiser knows it. Xo other country
on earth would countenance a Berg
er in the same circumstances. Uncle
Sam ought to quit it instanter.

:o:-
AMERICAN GENIUS.
There is little doubt but that
American genius will offer something
quite startling on the battle fields of
France. Premier Lloyd George re
cently announced that the Americans
had a great surprise in store for the
kaiser. He no doubt alluded to the
force of the American army but the
suggestion offered! the basis cf a per
sistent rumor in London Tuesday
that an American airplane carrying
twelve men had arrived ia England
from New York, making the three
thousand mile flight without a stop.
The rumor was officially denied.
but it is significant of the faith plac
ed in the inventive ability of the
Yankee. The perfected locomotive,
the iron clad battleship and the tele
graph are examples of American gen
ius. The Liberty motor and the
Browning machine gun, both repre
senting the most perfect machines in
their fields, are products of this coun
try. Those first tanks used by the
French and British owe their exist
ence to the efficient American tractor
and now Henry Ford has produced a
typical U. S. tank. They are light
er and less cumbersome than those
used by the French and British. The
Germans were much surprised when
the British first sent the crawling
fortresses against them but they will
be more surprised when these darting
Yankee hornets make their appear
ance in Europe. The machines will
be faster and harder to hit and great
er numbers will be used. These new
tanks will be a surprise for the
boche, but it is a safe wager that
other surprises will be afforded him
by the sons of Uncle Sam. Lincoln

JUBILANT GERMAN PRESS.
A New York woman got six
months for flying a German flag in
honor of Hindenburg's drive. Ap
parently the bonfire burning and
exultant singing in Chicago was less
effectively dealt with. Wha'. this
tolerant and long-suffering nation
will do about the jubilating in our
German-language newspapers is the
more important question. Fremont
Tribune. 1
:o:-
Columbus, Neb., will spend $1,000
to equip their Home Guard company.
The right spirit.
New York's Income taxes this year
are expected to total 800 . million
dollars, which sounds big until you
begin guessing how much Von Hind
cnburg would levy were he sudden
ljr to become military governor of
the old town. -
:o:-
Don't get confused, the buying of
Liberty Bonds is In no sense a dona
tion, but a better investment than
the average man can plan for himself.-
When duty and profit appear
together the individual can respond
to both and make no sacrifice.
THE MONEY COMES BACK.
The cycle of money invested in
Liberty Bonds is short and complete.
The people lend the money to the
Government, the Government lends
some to our Allies and our Govern
ment and our Allies straightway
spend the money, or the greater
portion of it, among the people of
the United States. In some instanc
es the money paid in by wage earn
ers on one installment of Liberty
Bonds is paid by the Government to
their employers, and by their em
ployers paid back to them in the
way of wages before the next Bond
installment is due.
Buy Liberty Bonds.
:o:
A FIFTY DOLLAR LIBERTY BOND.
It will protect 1,000 soldiers from
smallpox and G6G from typhoid. It
will asure the safety of 139 wound
ed soldiers from lockjaw, the germs
of which swarm on Belgian sail.
It will render painless 400 opera
tions, supply 2 miles of bandages
enough to bandage 555 wounds.
It will care for 160 injuries !n the
way or "nrst-aid packets.
It will furnish adhesive plaster and
surgical gauze enough to benefit
thousands of wounded soldiers.
Every purchaser of a Liberty Loan
Bond performs a distinct individual
service to his country and to our
boys fighting in France.
:o:-:
KING GEORGE'S DEMOCRACY.
King George constantly gives proof
of being a democratic king. The
other day, as many times before, he
met 'a private in ranks and shook
hands with him; he met othersfar
beneath the "stations" of the kind
ot, folks the king usually deals with,
and shook hands and spoke. He
has enjoyed meals with the proletar
iat along the western front. He is
a king who is not too uppish to talk
to a plebeian.
Contrast this attitude with Kaiser
Bill. Did you ever hear of the kais
er shaking hands with a common
soldier? Did you ever hear anybody
getting close enough to the kaiser
with a 40-foot pole minus the cere
monies that used to be associated
with ancient - monarchy? Neither
have we. That's the difference be
tween autocracy and democracy as
applying to the personal attitude cf
kings toward their subjects. St.
Joseph News-Press.

Its good to live in a town where
every worthy appeal meets with gen
erous response and Plattsmouh is
that kind of a town.
Buy Another Bond!
During the past 25 years we have been distributors here of Munsing Wear for men and boys. We have
found it the most satisfactory underwear to sell and our customers have found it by far the most satisfac
tory underwear to buy.
We have now added the Ladies' line
and we feel the ladies of Plattsmouth and vicinity will be glad to know they can obtain this splendid un
derwear right here at home. We have put in a representative line of sizes and styles and having made
our purchase eaily can give you practically the old prices. Miss Ola Kaffenberger has charge o this de
partment and she will be glad to show you what we iiave to offer. We also carry ladies silk hose.

LINCOLN'S DOCTRINE.
"The man who stands by and says
nothing when the peril of his gov
ernment is discussed cannot be mis
understood. If not hindered he is
sure to help the enemy; much more
if he talks ambiguously talks for
his country with 'buts' and 'ifs and
'ands.' "
That is pretty strong doctrine.
Some of us would hesitate to draw
the line of disloyalty with any such
rigor. Merely talking for the coun
try with "buts" and "ifs" and "ands"
is regarded by many people as com
paratively innocent.
The ruthless tyrant who uttered
the doctrine quoted above was Abra
ham Lincoln.
Lord Cham wood, certainly an
open-minded student, sums " up his
impression of this phase of the great
president's career with the state
ment: "In any case, Lincoln stood
clearly and boldly for repressing
speech cr act that could help 'the
enemy, with extreme vigor and total
disregard for the legalities of peace
time."
Lincoln had summoned men to die
for a cause. Unquestionably any
toleration of speech or act that
tended in any way to undo their
word would have seemed to Jiim con
temptible and criminal. But Lin
coln is not remembered as an ene
my of freedom of mind or body.

ARE YOU DOING ALL
YOU CAN TO WIN?
From Monday's Daily.
Do you read the papers and go
out and say, we are getting the
worst of the fight, do you say the
Huns are driving the fighters for
Liberty and Humanity back, do ycu
say we are going to have a hard time
to win. Well if you do j-ou are doing
things which you should not do. The
real thing is to say we are going to
win this war for Humanity and Lib
erty, and put every ounce of effort
into the contest to win it. Y01 may
not have money, but you may have
an opportunity to do. some farming,
and if you have a little bit of addi
tional ground make it grow the most
you can, and do not waste the things
you have to eat, if there is anything
to spare divert it into some channel
where it will feed some and thus
enable him to be productive to the
fullest extent. You may not be a
farmer, but you may have money, if
so use all you can for the winning of
this struggle by investing, in war
bonds. You may not like war, few
of us, do, but that does not matter,
the war is here, and we have to fight
it out. Will .we do our part? Say
about that bond issue, suppose ycu
can get two per cent more for your
money, that will make just two dol
lars per year, are you risking any
thing to get those two dollars? Sup
pose the lack of your support should
cause the war to be lost, where has
gone your two dollars per hundred.
That makes possible to carry one
thousand dollars of bonds at twenty
dollars per year, and you a patriot!
Or you one that would rather ease
up while the. burden conies on the
others? Think this over and see

LOW VITALITY OF OUR PEOPLE.
The vitality of the American peo
ple is growing lower. Men used to
work in the open, their food was
simple, but today 60 per cent work
indoors with little exercise and much,
richer food. If you are to be really
healthy, you must help your stom
ach and intestines to expel all dan
gerous substances and morbific germs.
