r ,- satiate. PAGE FOUi PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL MONDAY, MAY 5, 1918. OUR NEBULOUS IDEALISM. HATS A little winterish yet. -:o:- if ! i ! M I f ' II n - i ? 1 n Che plattsmoutb journal PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY AT PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Entered at rostofflce. Plattsmouth, Neb., as second-class mall matter R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PBICE $2.00 That was another hard rain. :o: ,Now, give us a few days' rest. -:o:- And the roads Well,, they need looking after. :o:- Remember July 4th, for the home coming celebration. :o: ; Now the question is, will the Japs while in Taris do as the Rom ans do? :o: Let up on Burleson there has been worse Postmaster Generals, and too. without so much fault-finding. Give Burleson a rest. -:o: The luxury tax which goes into effect today will hit every consumer in the land. The rich don't care, but it is the poor man who suffers. :o: The profiteers must go, say the big men of the cast. All right. But to a certain extent it Is the local profiteers that hurt the consumers mostly. -:o:- The former kaiser is to be tried by the Allies for "a supreme offense against international morality and the sanctity of treaties." Here's hoping he will have a fair trial and get what's coming to him. A Japanese editor, discussing the quarrel at the peace conference, says "Japan and Italy are both in the sme boat." Pehaps Japan would do better to quit rocking, then, and go to bailing out. The St. Paul. Phonograph 'reports that one firm of that city has paid out more than $20,000 for eggs during the first half of April. And still there are people who will tell you that it does not pay to keep chickens. -tor- Admiral Sims fears the navy's part in the war has been overesti mated. Well, it conducting 2 mil lion or more doughboy's over to the battle lines virtually without loss of life isn't something to estimate pretty high, what is? :o: Prominent among the unusual in quiries that have come to this office since prohibition set in is a man wishing to know how to keep cider sweet. He must be a genuine pro hibitionist. Otherwise he would want to keep it hard. :o: Photoplaying standard works of fiction does not usually do the book complete Justice, but it does get some books before the public that probably would never be read books that are ordinarily assigned to sophomore students in high school. :o; The peace which was to come by April 1, then by Easter, and now by Memorial Day or the first of July, may be along about July 15, it is announced. Peace takes the plunge with a good deal of the same reluct ance with which the bid-fashioned gentleman used to get ready to go over Niagara Falls In a barrel. :o: "Texan killed wrong man," says a headline. Mistaking identities seems to be a habit of Texans. who are always shooting the wrong man, sending the wrong man to Congress, and getting the wrong men appoint ed to the Cabinet and the peace con ferences. :o: German officials are being urged by the party leaders to sign . the peace terms without any quibbling when the time comes. That ought to make the Paris delegates read the terms over pretty carefully, and make sure something important hasn't been left out, and nothing untoward has been slipped in. PEE YEAR IN ADVANCE Welcome home, soldier boys. :o:- Carranza's head should come off. -:o:- Maybe Villa will get Carranza yet. :o: Anything is likely to occur in Mexico. -:o:- Old Winter still saucy Spring. :o: to Mise The speed limit should be looked after again. :o: May parties are now in order, when the weather warms up. :o: British delegates maintain that the Monroe doctrine is an expression of the peace covenant. -:o:- Prepare for a big blow-out for our home-coming celebration on the 4th of July. Plenty of time. :o: Why not look after McKelvie? He certainly is away from home about half of his time at the expense of the state. -:o:- The soldier boys keep on return ing singly and doubly. It will take several weeks to get them all home. By the 4th of July they will all be here to celebrate. -:o:- A Tennessee doctor says girls ought to go barefooted until they are 16. If it isn't in sections in Tennessee where they go barefoot all their lives, what state is it? The state conference on the pri mary lew decides In favor of a ref erendum in the whole measure. That's right. Give the common people a chance to decide on such matters. :o: One should be charitable with the girls in the matter of skirts, because generally they wear that kind of skirts for the simple reason that that's the only kind of skirts there is to buy. :o: A Russian writer Lays: "Wo Rus sians are not conceite-J, but we see farther than any other people in the world. Is that a crime?" No. but it is unfortunate for the Russsians that they look so far and see so many things that are not there. . ;o: A reader writes to the New York World scolding It for a grave error which crept into the World's recent attack on Mr. Burleson. The World called Mr. Burleson a national lia bility. "He is nothing of the kind," insists the subscriber. "He Is a na tional deficit." :o: Germany, Hugo Haase says, de mands peace, food and work. Peace, wo understand, is on the way, and food, we have always been given to believe, is to be had by work. The proper order for Germany to go after these blessings, therefore, seems to be the reverse of the way Herr Has.se stated it. :o: A St. Joseph man put his motor car under five padlocks, and then a thief got away with it. How an item like that must enrage the fel low who owns an old wornout, hand somely insured car which he has been leaving out in the street all night for months, but which per sistently refuses to be stolen! :o: Herbert Cory, too, says there is Prussianism In the American army, but of course Mr. Cory probably has been talking to some private sold iers, who do the fighting and whose words may not be as reliably as an o STlcer, simply because he is a pri vate, but the private soldier who is an observer, also, is in many in stances, really more reliable than many officers. The Fiume controversy furnishes a concrete example of the difficul ties involved in constructing a League of Nations in the present stage of civilization and of the sort of controversies In which such a league might involve the United States. It may be hoped that in the pres ent state of war weariness of Eur ope and under the impulse to ideal ism with which the war ended, the controversy may be settled without a break between the Entente Allies. But irrespective of the outcome and even of the merits of the case, the affair is full of illumination as to the possible workings of the propos ed league. Let it be assumed that - Italy is wrong in insisting on holding Fiume the outlet for all the Slavic and Magyar country to the north. Still, it is easy to understand the Italian feeling. Italy has lived all her na tional life exposed to the menace of attacks from the east coast of the Adriatic against which she was powerless to defend herself because of her lack of harbors. Now comes the opportunity to safeguard her self for the future by gaining con trol of the menacing naval bases. Jugo-Slavia might never be in a position to make her trouble. But who knows when there might come a confederation of Jugo-Slavia. Hun gary and Rumania that would take the place of the old Austrian Em pire? Better be safe than sorry, reason the Italian statesmen. Here the world is face to face with an imperious national desire in a localized field. Italy is not aiming at world domination as Ger many was. she nas no muici Europe ambitions. Her relations to Jugo-Slavia are rather those of the United States to Mexico. It is possible fhe will submit the question to adjudication. But it is at least conceivable that s in her present frame of mind she might not. 4 Would America be willing to send soldiers to fight over the ques tion of an Adriatic seaport? To ask the question is to answer it. Suppose Italy should get Fiume and the .Dalmatiou Coast, with their overwhelming preponderance of Slavs. Suppose ten years hence there should be a Slavic rebellion and Jugo-Slavia should go to the aid of her countrymen. What would the United States do under Article X of the league covenant, which binds us to guarantee the bound aries of the world? It would do nothing. The league would be ho more effective than the agreements of the last Hague con ference. The proposed league would con trol so long as all the important nations were peaceably disposed. Any great and serious difference be tween them would tear it to pieces. Is it a wholesome thing to enter into experiments In nebulous ideal ism that will break down under the first real test? Is it not far better to be rigorously sincere? Is it nut far better to refrain from expansive promises that will surely be broken on some technical ground, and to confine ourselves to agreements that will be lived up to In spirit as well as in letter? K. C. Star. The art of 'early rising must be cultivated some at the other end of the day. Remember that. -:o:- Greater love than this hath no man; that two of them can trade second-hand Fords with each other and remain friends. :o: That Virginia private who wears a No. 16 shoe is the fellow who ought to be sent overseas to keep his foot on Germany's neck. :o: Mr. Burleson seems to have de cided upon the reflection that he doesn't want to run the old tele graph and cable lines anyway. :o: Anyway, they're going to let the kaiser have a lawyer, who will as sure him there's no law under which he can be tried, and then the trial can proceed. N We can show YOU STETSON KNOX GORDON A Great Trio of Headvvear "YOU CANNA' BEAT IT" $4.00 to $10.00 All New Shapes and Colors c.e WESGOTTSsons EVERYBODY'S STORE Rather cool yet. :o:- Tho first of July will here then what? :o: soon be "Caught Mexico in a Fib," says a headline. Events of this .kind probably would occur if Mexico could find more listeners. :o: The indications from the Mossoms that with no killing we will have a good apple o jj!e frosts crop. How about the peach crop? ;0: "I wish to be loved for myself alone." said an heiress. Highly commendable, my dear. But how cculd you conceal your identity? :o: Blessed is the man, if any, who can get as much satisfaction out of a l..r0 spading fork and a 70-eent hoe as he could out of a $2,500 tour ing car. :o: The German peace delegation to Paris includes a press agent, but anxious inquiry reveals the disap pointing fact that he is not Karl Rosner. :o: - The Boston Transcript scold paragraphers who have been speak ing of Premier Orlando's fussing and Fiuming, pointing out soberly that Fiume is pronounced Few-may. :o: t Life's darkest moment for the small boy is going to come this fall when lie is introduced to the geography lessors the Peace Confer- enc is now preparing for him. :o: This is the season for all sorts of stories and an exchange gets off this one, concerning the young bride who went to the store and asked for a package or fried potato feed. :o: Girls Wanted At Once. Platts mouth Steam Laundry. 1 AS V- Poultry Wanted! I will pay the following; prices delivered at Mynard, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of .this week : Hens i 25c Roosters .. , 12c Also will pay the highest market cash price for eggs. W. T. RICHARDSON Little use for money in the pocket :o: The bootleggers still on the job. The poor are just as well oft .is the rich. -:o: Our soldier boys organized a local camp of the American Legion Thurs day. Success to the boys. -:o: Senator Borah blames Congress for Burleson's shortcomings. This is one time that Borah is right. :o: The Allies knew what they were fighting for all right, but don't know yet what they aro going to get. :o:- Have you subscribed to Liberty Victory Loan yet? If you have not don't you think it is about time you were doing so? -:o: If the Kait'er's neck is saved, it will be due to the fact that the lav. is not sufficient the evidence is in tact all right. In the meantime don't forget to buy your quota of Victory bond. 4 and thus help in bringing our sold ier boys home. :o:- If Premier Orlando lias any scp arate peace theories he would like to try out, he might try them out on the Jugo-Slavs. :o:- The fact that the man who never advertises never has any money to :pend for advertising, is pretty con sistent example cf cause and effect. -:o:- In connection with Fiume it slKuld be remembered that the world is full of injustices, and it might not stand the strain of rem edying them all at once. col li is feared the major leagues a few years from now will have to look in a new field for their star players. The corner lot boys this. season seem to be too busy training their pompa dours to play any real baseball. -:o: Lenine, it is said, would like to flee from Russia if he could find a place to flee to, and the helples American public hopes it won't oc cur to any of the conscientious ob jectors to invite him to come over hero and share their privileges. -:o:- May 1. May day, was at one time celebrated in a blithesome and happy manner. Now the date is re garded with more or less apprehen sion as inaugurating strikes and up risings, moving of lrou.sehold. goods and general unrest. No one aspires to be Queen of May in this trou blous period because kings and queens have come to be mighty un popular in civilized countries. -:o: Pictures of the kaiser and of the royal family will be taken down from the walls of the public school rooms in Berlin, "unless they are found to bo of peculiar historic or artistic value." Any historic value they might have would indeed be peculiar, and as for their being ar tistic well, all art must contain some element of truth, and if those Germans can still reconcile art with a true likeness of the crown prince, the armistice was a mistake and peace with Germany Is a crime.
