Neb.. a second-class mall matter R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 A little winter lingers. :o:- The grass is growing nicely. :o:- A few ca.ses of flu, but none ser ious. :o: Are you ready for loan? the liberty -:o:- This is perhaps the last loan the government wlil ask for. -rot- Thus far a Forward March has given way to a Backward April. :o: How about a public market place in Plattsmouth? Many towns' are running them with great success. ' :o: : The republicans expects to accom plish wonders' in. the next congress. Hut then we will see what we shall see. :o: The final crisis is approaching probably within a week the peace conference will either have succeed ed or failed. :o: How about your 'seed corn?' If yi'iir teed is not the best your crop will not be the best. It takes the one to make the other. :o: The movies are being blamed now for a boy's goin? wrong. Let's see, w hat was it u-ed to be blamed' be fore the movies came along? :c: President Wilson stakes all, it seems, on 14 points. If they are rii;ht. as the great majority of the peop'le believe, the president is right. :o: The Topeka Capital describes the new skirts as having two waistlines, one at either end, and unless one steps lively in such a skirt, she top ples over. :o: The country correspondent who rails himself "ye scribe" is a pretty good old scout. He writes by main strength and awkwardness, but he manages to get it all down. :o: Evidently, the present legislature isn't afraid to use the peoples' money. Maybe the people will stand it and maybe they won't. Hut they will have to for the two years. -:o:- Tbe man who captured Jeff Davis has just died in Tennessee. It has been several years since an event of this kind has taken place, and we are unable to recall the number of his captors that have died since the civil war. :o: W. I). Haywood, who hopes soon to get out of the federal prison on bond, awaiting a review of his case by t lie United States Court of Ap peals, says the I. V. W. is greatly misunderstood. We fear it is. That is the only explanation for the patience with which the American people have borne with it. :o: It is feared the identity of the prospective owner is not sufficiently brought out in the government's: new slogan, "Own your own home." In order that nobody may consider him self expected to own somebody else's home, we suggest the slogan be amended to read, "Own your own home yourself in your own right." :o: "Ilesolved, that the cotton grow ers of the South have ren-Jeied a jnore sacrificial service to the coun try during the war than the wheat growers of the West." is the sub ject on which an Alabama man challenges Governor Allen of Kansas? to debate. The meeting no doubt would 'be interesting, especially if the debaters should go far enough to iutroduce real figures and facts. But the chances arc a salaried man could be picked from almost auy in dustry who could beat both of them, j PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Last week of the legislature. :o: : - Hot time in the closing hours. Evidently the tornada) season is on. -jo:- Xever kick 'a man when down. he is :o:- Russia's condition under Bolshe viki rule seems absolutely soapless. :o: No, my son. Douglas Fairbanks does not commit suicide In his new film drama, "The Foolkiller." :o: A good many newspapers in Me braska are changing hands. Incom petency seems to cause the many changes. -:o:- Economy has sure hit this town. A man stepped up to the postofnee window recently and asked for a daylight savings stamp. The government has placed a tax on the alarm clock. Here's hoping the alarm clock will not off and strike, however, because of it. :o: What we call a disaster is some thing which kills violently about one-third as many people as disease kills in the same locality the same month. -:o: In a few more weeks the sun will rise early enough for you to save soue of that heat and light the Day light Savings Law was made to save. -to: Every returned soldier from France should be found a situation, if a slacker has to be thorwn out. Patriotism should come before slackerism. -:o:- The chief of police is doing his duty on the auto speeders. No mat ter who they are, rich or poor, they will all get it in the neck when Chief Manspeaker gets on to them. :o: ; - Spring may mean the chirp of birds to some, the perfume of flow er. to others but to the average man it means nothing more romantic than the annual donning of the B. V. 1). -:o:- Another United States judge has ruled that the war in Europe has legally ended, but the grocer says he has filed notice of appeal, and re fuses to lower prices while the ap peal is pending. -:o Our old friend John I. Long, formerly publisher of the Nehawka News, Is climbing up in newspaper dom. He is proprietor of the Columbus Daily News, and also re tains his Clarks paper. Good luck to him. :o: Because there is no room on the new skirts for pockets, the girls are still wearing them there. They are also wearing vests, but because there is plenty of room in the vests for pockets, the girls' vests have no pockets. -:o:- It is too early to begin talking about the bloodlessness of the Hun garian Revolution. In fact, it seems to be a prime feature of Bolshevist revolutions that . the bloodshed doesn't really begin until the revo lution has quieted down. :o: In the two years that have 'elaps ed this country and the world have traveled a far journey. In April, 1917, the American was still an un tried figtiter in the new warfare; the submarine was still an experi ment; war loans in the bj 11 ions were a matter only of discussion; the kaiser still regarded Gott as his al ly. It has been a Ions time, by many measurements, since April 6, 1917 WILSON OR LENINE? The war. In Its last phase, became a conflict between the political prin ciple? represented by Wilson and the political principles represented by the kaiser. ' The president's prin ciples eventually triumphed. Peace has now become an issue between the political principles rep resented by Wilson and the political principles represented by Lenine Will the president's principles again triumph, or will the victory, if it is won, come too late to save Europe, from the unrestrained forces of bol- shevism? The Wilson principles were eager ly accepted by the great majority of - t European peoples, pot because they were defined by the president of the United States, but because they gave expression to the aims and objects of an embattled democracy. ' The issues of the war, as he expressed them, were democratic issues; the terms of pas.ee were democratic terms. Overwise and oversophisti- cated persons who could not realize that the old regime had been shot to shreds often pretended that they could not understand the meaning of the president's principles, but the or dinary man had no such difficulty They were plain enough to him. When the Paris peace conference met, there was overwhelming popu lar support for the Wilson terms. While the conference has been in session this support has been weak ening, not because the terms were too democratic, but because of the r I growing belief of radicals that there was little disposition on the part of the governments represented to car-; ry these terms into effect. niie diplomacy has been playing the an cient game of imperialism and reac tion, bolshevism has swept steadily forward. It is stronger in Europe han ever before, and it gains in power with every new measure or obstruction in the Paris conference. The vital question now is not whether Europe is to be autocratic or democratic but whether it is to be democratic or bolshevist. - Bolshev ism, after all, is merely a new form of autocracy in which the proletariat is substituted for the aristocracy that has gone under. It Is class gov ernment in a different form and in still more insidious form. It is already certain' from the march of events that there will be a league of nations. If it is not Wil son s league it will be L,enine s league. Lenine's league is making rapid progress. It already includes Russia and Hungary. It is making enormous gains in Bohemia, in Ru mania and in Poland. It has been emporarily defeated in Germany by the use of machine guns, but the is sue is not settled. ' A peace in Paris that disappoints the great mass of European people by giving them no hope of a world in which adequate safeguards have been taken to pre- ent the tragedy of another war will form the basis of a bolshevist prop aganda beyond the wildest dreams of Lenine and Trotzky three months ago. Every attempt to discredit the president plays into their hands. Every attempt to disregard the four teen propositions which were accept ed by all the belligerents as the ba sis of peace is so much new grist to the bolhsevist mill. These are the ' . . f obvious and unmistakable facts of the Paris deadlock. While diplomacy halts and haggles, bolshevism acts. -New York World. - :p: Don't discard your heaters yet. ;o; ' Easter and colored eggs and blooming hats will soon be with us. :o; How did such a far-fctchcr imita tion ever 'come to be called near. beer? -:o:- Since the end of submarine war fare the sea has been made safe for Annette Kellermann and her mer maid movies. 1 ;o: A certain farmer, living Just next door to this city found a strainc .- . ... f pair of gjoves in his bin recently.

Sayles re ceived a telegram this morning from Lincoln, defining the new law now in force regarding state hail insur ance. The precinct assessors of the county, as they go around listing the taxable property of their respective precincts will also be equipped to offer this insurance to the farmers at the nominal charge laid down by the law. Where the insurance per acre is $10.00 the fee will be 25 cents per acre and where a $15.00 per acre insurance is desired the fee will be 40 cents. This covers loss by hail of auy growing crop to the limit of value insured, which is $15.00 an acre. MRS. OTTO PITZ BETTER Otto Pitz departed on the early afternoon train of the Burlington for Omaha, where he is visiting at the Ford hospital this afternoon with his wife," who is now convalescing quite rapidly after having been at the hospital for some time following her recent operation for appendicitis and other complications. The fact that Mrs. Pitz is recovering so nice ly will be excellent news to the many Plattsmoutli friends and relatives of this good woman. CONVENTION STILL IN SESSION.

Mr. Forbes arrived in this country a short time ago and was discharged al Camp Dodge yesterday .coming di rectly home. While he was willing and glad to do his part during the progress of the war, when fighting terminated he was equally as anx ious as anyone to return to his home and civil life pursuits. - SUMMER IS COMING RE MEMBER OUR CITY BAND With the coming of summer we will soon turn our attention to the matter of band concerts in the citv nark through the hot niontns of the approaching season.

The following is what the press has to say regarding this ora tor: Dr. Landrith is a brilliant orator no question about it. His address glittered with smart sayings and was rich in simile, in metaphor, and in word painting. He has a gift of humor, and, like all true humorists, can be touchingly earnest and elo quent when occasion demands. In fact few more entertaining men ever stood upon the platform of City Hall.
