Mr. liannin? has served several terms in the Nebraska sen ate, and no one has ever made a better record. He is a clean man. and when it comes to serving the people he is always right. He should carry Cass county by a large vote, and we prophe-sy that he will be nominated. Ho has the ability to preside over the senate with honor to himself and credit to the people. A CALL TO DUTY. From the battle iiclds in France there comes an unspoken call that should find an answer in every American's heart. The recent great events in Kurope, the successes of American arms on the fields of France should spur every American to greater effort. Our people at home should not rest on the laurel of our soldiers in France. Fvery death on the field of honor in the line of duty and for our country's cause should be a call to us for every sacrifice and every exertion to aid the cause for which our soldiers are fighting, for which our soldiers have died. Increase production, decrease con sumption, save, and lend to the gov ernment. Kvery cent lent to the United States is used to support, strengthen, and aid our soldiers in France. :o: SUMMARY TUNISH- MENT FOR SPIES A German arrested in New Jersey had a wireless outfit on his farm and is suspected of communicating with submarines. Tlu offense, if proved, ks of the gravest sort. It would be perfectly possible for a message to be sent by wireless that would re sult in the death of hundreds of persons. If the government has the evi dence the man ought to be put to death. There is no doubt the Ger mans regard our humanitariauism with derision. The Karl of Denbigh is quoted in the Atlantic Monthly a; repeating to the House of Lords a statement from the German ex- chancellor. Prince Hohenlohe: "Votir people think we admire you with your principles of humanity. Wo don't. We think you are a lot of damned fools." The shooting of a few Germar -pies in America would be a salutary warning 10 a" people who re gar'. mercv as a sign 01 cotiM-nipum' weakuess.

We have shattered sonic other tilings also, and this is t he explanation : Our army officers and our nav officers have been able to accomplish the enormous tasks that are to their credit chiefly for one reason. asid from their native ability. This is that for the first time in one of our wars the civilian has been forced to keep his hands away from our professional soldiers and sailors. Never until now have our mili tary enterprises been exclusively in charge of trained men. Never until now have the ttrindent-voiced war riors of congress and the cross-roads been ignored. Never until now have the scheming politicians with their tralogic campaigns and their long lists of candidates for generalship been set aside. We have had the usual number of sclf-a'ipointcd he roes, but they have not been allow ed lo interfere with the program. For this achievement the country is under obligations chiefly to President Wilson, Secretary of War llakcr and Secretary of the Navy Daniels. All three have been assail ed, one. as an academic person, the second hs a pacifist ami the third as a lubberly country editor. Yet they have been wise enough to insist that all purely military matters must le under control of trained soldiers and sailors, and what has been accomplished already com mands tho admiration of the entire world. New York World. :o:- The Germain- now call t tie Amer ican soldiers "Satans," says a Lon don dispatch. Which indicates what the Yanks have been giving them in France. :o:- The watch on the Rhine has noth ing on the alarm clock on the Marne NEXT YEAR'S WHEAT CROP. Some years ago a good deal of worry was caused by an announce nient by the agricultural depart ment that the "carry over" amount of wheat was very small and that if a good crop was not secured for the coming harvest, disaster might fol low. Now the department says that the normal consumption require ments of the exporting countries are increasing with the growth of pop illation instead of diminishing that some losses in storage and transit may be expected to continue; and that it is highly desirable that a surplus should be accumulated a1 Insurance against partial crop fail ure next year. Every Nebraska farmer should take note of these announcements and sow every acre of. wheat that it is possible for him to get into the ground. That is just as necessary "war work" as the building of ships or increasing the number of troops in France. The tune lor tall w licit sowing is near at hand and every paper in the state should draw the attention of farmers to the facts presented. That is all that is neces sary as far as the farmers are con cerned. They will do their full du'y in the future as in the past. With the tractor in operation, the plant-, ing of wheat is wholly machine work. Seed and tractors is all the farmers need to produce the biggest crop ever raised in the state. It will be to the interest of bankers and everybody else to see to it that the farmers get them. World Her ald. :o: 1. 1.4; 1. Minn:.

To the Loyal Democrats of Nebraska: As the father of two boys, all that I have, who arc now fighting at the front, and in behalf of these boys and the thousands of other boys who are making similar sacrifices, I appeal to you to nominate Richard L. Metcalfe as the democratic candidate for United States Senator. When men like Roosevelt are loosing their boys, and men like ex Mayor Mitchell are giving their lives in this struggle, our dut' is plain to put none but the loyal on guard and our candidate for United States Senator must be a hundred per cent American. As a democrat I want the democratic parly to stand by our boys, both now and when the war is over, by nominat ing a man for Senator who is mentally capable of dealing with the great questions that will have to be settled as well as one whose loyalty is firm and unflinching. We must not nominate a man for this high office who opposes the President's war measures, fought the selective draft and sought to prevent the soldiers going to France. With Metcalfe as our nominee wc will have the sup port of every loyal democrat. Let the others go to Berlin Respectfully yours, S. Y. HARTT. ;ive you a most hospitable welcome.
