BRYAN'S PLATFORM.
Charles W. Bryan's platform con
tains so many things conspicuous for
their absence that the conclusion
may be reasonably reached that he
is fishing for a certain unknown
quantity this year in Nebraska poli
tics, the non-partisan league. In
deed, there can not be any doubt of
it. Neville ha displeased the league
and McKelvie stands no better. And
you can be sure that a Bryan never
lets a chance slip to cast a political
anchor to the windward. Kearney

The man who wants to be gover

Bryan should be defeated by the

looks suspicious.
Appealing for a "100 per cent
loyal congress," the league for na
tional unity needed a definition.
What is loyalty? Its signers
worklngmen, merchants. clerics,
lawyers agree substantially upon
'his test:
That candidate, in or out of con
gress, or that, citizen, can be regard
ed as loyal who since the declaration
of war has by word and act unreserv
edly supported and will support the
government in the vigorous proso
eution of the war to a complete and
decisive victory, and who has not
attempted to destroy allied unity
and effort by attacks upon nations
fighting with us against a common
enemy.
The common enemy demands the
united front no less in Washington
than in Picardy. The advance on
Taris is an advance toward New
York. Defeatism in France is no
more guilty than defeatism in the
United States. The way of victory
is a full and frank understanding
with our allies with all our allies.
Our men swarming to the front
are fighting not for France only but
for the world. They are the trus
tees of the future for freedom
Unity at the front demands unity
behind the front. We must support
the war. Politics, as the president
has said, is adjourned and "the elec
tions will go to those who think
least of politics." If the world
menace of Prussian might and Prus-
ian fright fulness, if tho crash of
ancient cathedrals, and the purposed
bombing of hospitals where .-Mieri-can
soldiers lie wounded, and the
danger that lurks tinder the waves,
and tho poison gas and poisoned pro
paganda of Prussia have not t tight
and do not'enforce unity of purpose
and resolution, then are we strange
ly inert and dangerously blind.
The anxious eyes of humanity are
on France, where Germany might,
lorty years in preparation for world
conquest, is making its third desper
ate bid for victory within a single
season. The nations must stand to
gether. The nation at home mrst be
as one man for "complete and de
cisive victory." New York World:

A SOLDIER'S LETTER
FROM FT. RILEY
From Tuesday's Daily.
Tho following letter was receiv
ed from Ft. Riley, Kansas by Mrs.
Byron Reed from her son Will:
Dear Mother and All:-
Will answer your kind letter of
a few days since. I was glad to
hear from you. We are having it
cold and cloudy this a. m. Looks
like rain. We had a big rain the
other day. We are still at Ft. Riley,
not at Funston. I will have some
pictures taken and send you soon.
Wo are still in detension, until all
of our vaccinations are over. u e
have been kept in and cannot get
out now, will soon be so we can get
to go to nearby towns. I was ap
pointed military police, which saves
me from drilling. This position
places me out at the cross roads on
patrol duty, four hours per day.
There is nothing that can be gotten
to drink here, nor would they allow
one to take anything to drink at
Kansas City, when we passed
through. With much love.
Your son,
WILL REED.
FLORENCE MERCHANTS
VS. THE RED SOX
From Tuesday's Daily.
We remember of having read of
the Florence Merchants, but never
thought they would appear as a ball
team in Plattsmoutb, but strange
things happen in these days of high
cost of living and other matters.
The Red Sox and the Merchants
of Florence will try and entertain
the people of Plattsmouth next Sun
day. From the amount of pep the
Red Sox are maintaining there seems
to be no question of how the game
will end. With the performances of
this team last Sunday when they
won hands down, it would look like
the Merchants would have to play
ball.
per mile one way. This is born by
the friends of the deceased. Well
why not one in Plattsmouth, and
save the ten or twelve dollars addi
tional charges from there to thi3
city. If not the funeral directors,
then why not someone else who has
money seeking investment. in
Sprague's Tire and Rubber Co., or
something of that kind, or other kind
which it is not certain will Drove a
paying institution. This will pay
and well for the amount invested.
For instance a few days since there
was a hearse called from Omaha, and
the distance traveled was lifty-six
miles, which means a charge of $28
for this service, and another service
was reported at $35.00. If it is a
good paying institution for Omaha,
why not for this city also.
THE RAINBOW DIVISION.
From Monday's Daily.
There are eight boys from this
city in the Rainbow Division, and
we have heard from the bunch of
ten, and from most of the boys in
dividually, but from Hugh Kearnes
his folks have not heard directly
since. lie ha sbeen gone. About thiee
weeks since, his young lady friend
at Glcnwood, had a letter direct
from Mr. Kearnes, and as the fam
ily had not heard Mrs. Kearnes de
parted this morning for that place
to see what he could learn from
her. Numerous letters from the
other boys from here all say the
whole bunch are all right and we
suppose he is all right.
WHY NOT ONE IN PLATTSMOUTH.
From Monday's Daily.
It is reported that there are two
auto hearses in Wpeping Water, a
news item of a few days since told
of a man named Brewster of Omaha.
being here for the purpose of serving
a funeral. The charges are I0 cents
WHY BEING PATIENT
MEANS BEING PATRIOTIC
From Monday's Daily.
As we go farther and farther into
this war you will find more and
more things going wrong. But don't
write a "stinging" letter. We, too.
have our troubles with the people
from whom we buy materials. Uncle
Sam is fighting a war. Labor is
scarce everywhere; worse than that,
it is floating! Worse than that. a.
large portion of the help is green.
Everyone is doing the best, he can.
Don't complain. Be as patient as
you can. Help Uncle Sam in every
way you can. Make it as easy as you
can for the people with whom you
deal.

Besides being a bishop.
