And did you cer stop long; enough to think over the processes through hich you passed to become such a lie gentleman? :o: The Italian physician whose ex ! rimoms snow that sugar is a tu berculosis; cure may be about to bring the world a great blessing. It is unfortunate that tiie cure requires such a costly drug as sugar. How f.ne it would be it the same results could be attained with quinine or radium, within reach of all. . :o: The teaching of the German language in most of the schools in tiie cities and towns of Nebraska has bet n discontinued. It never should liae been taught at the public ex pense. There should be no taxation of the property holders of this coun try for tne leaching of any language exc.pt that 01 our ovn. straight English.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured r lo-al application. as they cannot reach the portion ot the far. There la a'.y one way to cure catarrhal 4afncsp, and that is y a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal leafn'l is caused by an ln f a m t-i condition of the nucoui lining of th Eustachian Tube. When this tube is iiiTarurd you have a rum'oi:ns Bound or Ira pft hring. and when it is entirely rinsri. Dcaintu is the result.

And you are you ready to give that they may live. You should be. tot Bj' the time the Kaiser is ready to ask for peace, millions of his sub jects will not be in any condition to ask for anything. A horrible human sacrifice to human ambition. tot It's a tine thing for the young man to have visions of what he wants to make out of himself and to plan his life, but j'ou alwajs have a guess coming as to whether he will stick. to: The democrats of Cass have always been opposed to the third term propo sition, and it is just as well for some tellows to understand that it is too late to deviate from this rule, even in war time. :ot There is some objection to the proposed 15-cent piece, from the fear that everything now costing a dime would go to fifteen cents. Can you quick now name something that costs a dime? -to:- The war has revived a number of verj' pungent remarks accredited to Napoleon, who, if he really made all the remarks, should have been a colyum conductor instead of a mere military despot. It seems from examination of the advertising sections, that lawn mow ers are sharpened by one set of linns, and safety razor blades by another, although the two fields of eiuiea'. or are otherwise similar. -to: If the Germans who are now com pelled to wear wooden shoes would fit a pair to the Kaiser that blood crazy monarch would be equipped with wood at both ends, there being but little dount about the material of which has had is made. -tot- ui course, uus mouern nursery rhyme by Mrs. V. W. S. doesn't mean you, but jrou probably know some one whose attention should be call- c ed to it: . OldvMother Hubbard 'v Just blubbered ,and blubbered Becauso her old cupboard was bare It was not the dog But she was the hog Who had gobbled up everything there. . . . By way of Copenhagen comes the report that the Germans still believe that the present drive on the wes tern front will open the way to the coast and that eventually German shells will be falling- on southern England. They believe that the bombardment of England will mean a speedy peace. The present status of affairs in Flanders and Pieardy indicates no liklihood of a rupture in the allied line and the channel ports appear safe in the hands of the French and British. However, by terrific sacri fices, it may be possible for I Iinden burK to push his troops to Calais or some other coast town. But the rea soning of the enemy falVs down at this point. A flood of shells falling on the southern coast of England does not mean peace any more than the advancing of a few yards along some unimportant sector In France. The bombardment of London wen Id not strengthen the kaiser's cliques of victory any more than the recent firing up Paris. Prussianism can never claim a vic tory until the last trace of democracy is wiped from the face of the earth. and that means until his hordes have swept from the Atlantic to the Pacific and everj American home has been levelled to the ground.- Not until the kaiser has conquered more than a hundred million souls in this coun try can be hope to claim a victorious war. If autocracj emerges victor ious from this war, democracy will perish, but the lighting spirit of America says democracy shall not perish and with that purpose placed above all others, America will battle until the end.

An effort is being made to properly enforce the sedition laws passed by the last legislature. This will con tinue to be done. When one comes to think about it why should any man be fearful of being prosecuted under this law, provided always that he is innocent. The clean, upstand ing American, regardless of where be traces his ancestrj', who speaks for his country on every occasion, and gives the impression that he is ready to strike a blow at anj' time for its safetj, has no fear of prosecution and no fault to find with the law. It is the manner in which a man expresses himself bj- which he is' judged. No one finds fault with criticism from the mouth of him 1 whose loyaltj' is so well established that it is a matter of common know ledge. It is the man who couples his criticism with a sort of conscious distrust that we are afraid of. That is, the man who expresses his dis favor in a voice that suggests that he would no secretly pleased to have his veiled predictions come true, is the fellow who will bear watching. No one ever hears the 100 per cent American express any fears about either the law or the result. "By their fruits j-ou shall know them." No one ever hears the 100 per cent American enquire as to the provi sions of the sedition law, or as to its various ramifications. It does not interest him any more than does the provisions as to horse stealing. He is confident that he is in greater dang er from tho Hohenzollerns than lroni an j' law passed by his fellow Amer icans, and is conscious of the jus tice of his fellow men. It is the fel low who is conscious. of peculiar no tions of divided adherence, of just where his true sympathies lie, of some reservations in the prayers for the safety of bis neigliifrr's boy, that is talking about the. injustice of tho sedition and espionage laws.

A military man can immediately tell to what division a oldier belongs by glancing at the cord .n his hr.t, but; to the average citizen the color of -. the bat -cord denotes little or nothing.

There is sonwthing tragic in the appeal of the Russian soviet govern ment lo the Berlin government. It is the pleading of a man who in an hour oL inebriation sold his boy to a master and upon regaining his soberness realizes what he has done. A copy of the protest sent to the Herman mkiiotry of foreign affairs on April G, which has just been receiv ed in this country, outlines the vio lations of the Urcst-Litovsk treaty. The bolshevik i can blame none but themselves, and yet their fate is no worse than any other nation which would today make a compromise peace witn the kaiser. Sober people today know that when the kaiser makes a peace with a conquered na tion he expects that nation to be come his vassal. Though repeated every day, it can not be said too often that if the al lies would make peace with the kaiser,' today, it would mean a vic tory' for Germany. ' His power must first be broken.
