P1ATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL PAGE FOUS. THURSDAY, MAY 8. 1919. Che plattsmoutb fournal PUBLISHED SEMI-WEEKLY AT PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Entered at Fostofflce, Flattsmouth, Net., as second-class mall matter R. A. BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 There is plenty of moisture. Nice spring weather welcomed. :o: No, Mr. Taft is not a dead one. :o: The republicans are not harmon ious. n The democrats hardly know where they are at. :o: Matters are looking better every day at Faris. :o: There are a whole lot of things that can be done for the betterment of I'lattsmouth this summer. :o: . Some poet has said that angels "are all blondes, but in our opinion that does not prove that all blondes are angels. -:o:- If, in the next few months, you come upon the painful sight of a man wearing a $100 suit and a $10 hat, blame the new luxuray tax. :o: Coney Island, like the farmer's north pasture, has had its regular spring burning off. and is now ready for the season's verdure. :o: Politics are not running very high just at present, but just wait till the new congress gets in running order, and then the fur will fly! Oh my! Q How in tho name of goodness can we hope to make the world safe for democracy with Henry Ford still threatening to build an automobile that retails at $250. :o: j The National Housewives' League in appealing to the President for) the return of the 5-cent loaf recalls j that, sure enough, we once did have j a coin of that denomination. :o: The decision on Shantung consti tutes another amendment to the Fourteen Points, the one affected now reading. What- is sauce for the goose is not necessarily sauce for the gander. -:oz ' We used to rail at the folks in the business office for opening our j mail, but now that great men all 1 over the country are receiving bombs 1 by parcel post, we'll try to control our ire for the time being. :o: A lady crossing Main street last Saturday came very near getting run over by an auto, and the driver was going about double the speed limit. Now, we saw this from our office window. Someth'ing must be done with these speedy drivers. ;o: Back home in the little town, which is typical of all the little towns of Nebraska, this has been a week of preparation. Mother has gone about the housework with a farawayook in her eyes. Dad has Fpent a lot of time out in the wood shed where the fishing tackle is stored. For, you sec, Bill i3 coming home nex week. :o: 1 If Mayor Ed P. Smith lias his way, and he probably will, Omaha will not be a center of I. W. V. ac tivity this year. He has forbidden the Wearv, Wandering Willies to hold high carnival in this city and proposes to make all the members of that undesirable tribe very unwel come guests in the Nebraska. metro polis. The war is over and the re adjustment period calls for workers, not idlers; for construction, not de trt ruction; for co-operation, not dis- nention. In the modern scheme of life there is no place for the Idle rich or the idle poor. All must work and work together if civilisation is to exist and mankind to continue to work toward a higher and happier plane of living. i PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Whoy mission is to keep the flag intact on the court house? -:o:- Ilas anybody in Flattsiiiouth seen a field planted to corn this year? If he has he has seen more than we have. -:o: You had better hold on to your woolen underwear a while longer. even if May is always supposed to be a warm month. :o: The first uncensored news dispatch from Europe, since the war began, has reached this country at last and contains no news. :o: - It's a great sight to see the pres ent generation of free, unshackled, untrammeled women coming down the street wearing hobbled skirts. :o: The Germans peace envoys are to have fifteen days to decide whether to sign the peace treaty or let it be come effective without their signa tures. ' :o: Talk up the Fourth of July as the date for a genuine ' Home-coming celebration for all the soldiers of Cass county. The boys will all be home by that time. :o: It is not so many years ago that the old family doctor stuck a knife into you and drew off a quart or two of blood for what' ever ailed you. Now he pulls all your teeth out. :o: There would never have been all this confusion about the time t lie signal corps will "arrive if the boys had only taken over the Burleson lines and signaled the information themselves. :o: It seems that Sergeant Fracasse of Chicago, wearer of several war med als and a crutch, was exposed as a fake on the eve of his marriage. It develops that Sergeant Fracasse was a deserter from the navy, and has never been in a real fracas. ;o: A man was arretted In Kansas City yesterday charged with having drawn a weapon in a restaurant. On the other hand, an Illinois 'man not only was not arrest, but was given damagesjor having drawn a tack in a piece of mince pie in a restaurant some months ago. ;o; Secretary Baker is to be congratu lated on his escape from Europe without being knighted. The secre tary's danger from this source was very great, no doubt, and everybody knows the blighting effect of knight hood on one's political future, if any. ;o: Able orators and able writers are continually reminding us of the state of the public sentiment. We are fed up on lectures about what the people are considering. We are told that the public mind is In a swirl over the question of this, that or the other thing. :o:- Some people like to spend their time seeking strange significances in notable coincidences, but we rather guess they'll have a hard time find ing anything significant in the fact tho cables are to be returned to their, owners about the same time the peace conference is expected to finish its work. :o:- Suppose Italy gets Dalmatia, as is now expected. Suppose ten years hence there should be a Slavic up rising there and Jugo-Slayla should come to the ald'of the rebels. Under Article X of the proposed league covenant the United States would be bound to guarantee Dalmatia to Ita ly. Would the people who are supporting the leagu'Q be prepared to end their sons abroad to fight in . such a cause? ' ' THE DRIVE OF IMPERIALISM. If Imperialism does not capture the peace conference and put the peace settlements into imperialistic chains. Wood row -Wilson will have been the single force causing its de- feat. Imperialists know their ene- my; they can recognize nmi in an ... it languages. Imperialistic organs In the world's great capitals, from New or. to Rome, are naturally furious at Wil- son. me uonuon nioniuig xum characteristically tory in denouncing his "wild west diplomacy;" arid iu calling it "the rabies of diplomacy ' the London Express speaks from Its inmost soul. "Pertinax" In the . i T-i T " : 1 1 t 4 V, rJcno ae I'aris aim ur. wmuu iu im. London Telegraph are as one In the congenial task of coining new sneers at "the lofty Wilsonian principles." The fight at Paris against all the massed element of rapacious im- . . perialism has been forced upon the president of the United States from bo hoHninc Vn one pise OOllld have undertaken, such a struggle i,,w n.,rJ n 1111 IUC PUUiri nwfv v v v. i tial success. Mr. Wilson's triumph tviii hv n tan rnmnlpte. vet the degree of the fury and the hat red he arouses in imperialistic cir cles will be the measure of his act ual achievement. The struggle which has hitherto been in Drocress underneath the smooth usages and conventions of diplomacy, has at times seemed to be going against the single champion of "ideals." His concessions have been many; he has sometimes yielded ground where a dangerous sacrifice of principle was threatened by the least compromise. The com bination seeking to thwart Mr. Wil son's main purpose has been power fully supported in Europe and America and the arts of publicity and persuasion It has at its com mand are of devilish ingenuity. Imperialism at Paris has staked much on sheer procrastination and stubbornness in reaching agree ments, knowing that the president's executive duties at home would compel his return to his own coun try as the spring advanced into summer. Circumstances conspire;! to favor the game of the president's opponents; the mere passage of time was like the steady turning of the screw in the vise that seemed to have caught him. The theory wirs that at last, in desperation, he would yield everywhere the sub stance of empire for the sake of a new formula for the insurauce of the world's peace. The climax of this struggle has been reached. The weapons which Mr. Wilson so well knows how to use have been brought into action. corner dueling knives sanctioned by what passes as the diplomatic eti quet of secret negotiations. The diplomacy at Paris has not been so open as had been hoped, but tho only open diplomcay there has been the bombing work of Mr. Wilson. It would have horrified Meternich and Talleyrand and Castleragh as much as It horrifies the London Morning Post, infuriates "Fertinax" and Dr. Dillon, and staggers Sonnino, but it has the merit of proving that the idealist" and 'doctrinaire," in his extremity, is a tough customer. Can Mr. Wilson afford to yield to imperialism much more ground? Not if the world is to obtain any thing but a mockery of a "Just and lasting peace." Imperialism never assumed a more repulsive and ab horrent form than it does today, try ing to snatch a victory out of a peace that was won only by rallying to a holy crusade all the world's forces of democracy. Imperialism has no reply even to Lenine's bol shevist taunt, that it "has succeeded in slaughtering ten millions, in crippling twenty millions in its war." F6V the. world war is justly chargeable, largely, to the imperial istic plotters who so malignantly controled the fate of nations.. Imperialism is a body of death. Nothing has failed more completely, hopelessly and tragically in the everlasting effort to organize the world on a coherent plan of, pros perity, Uberty and justice ,than the extreme nationalism, whose stupidly excessive selfishness and egotism invariably seeks to express itself in territorial aggression and finally, if successful enough, in word empire j if this repulsive thing were to win at Paris an unqualified victory, it would be impossible to count the converts to bolshevism, for not even i . . . . . i bolsiievism's terror could slay more human beings than imperialism wars. - Who, then, is the true conserva tive at the peace conference? Plain ,!tly he is the one who leads In the struggle for what is so jjften sneered at a righteous peace, introducing new conception of international I order and justice.'

It has opened oflices in Chicago. with one of the loading duwnstate college graduate farmers as secre tary, and is busy organizing the farmers in every county in the state. Already sixty counties have thorough organizations and there are 25.000 members. It is expected that the membership will reach 50, 000 in a few months. ChicagD News. :o: Have you paid your dog ta yet? Better be at it if you want to save your dog. :o: If a I'lattsmouth woman doesn't continue to trust her husband, it is all because she believes truly in trust busting. :o: ' For the last million years the average commencement orator ha. started outafter this manner: "Thl.--is the greatest age. etc.. etc." : :o: Admitting that the trust has abso lute control of the beef of this coun try, does that have a tendency to re store confidence in hash and sau sages? :o: An excited exchange declares that the American casualties in Russia is not very heavy, only about 200. That's all right as long as you are not one of tho 200. -:o: A negro soldier who was confined in a hospital was told by the beau tiful young nurse that "you colored soldiers give us more trouble than all the rest," and the dusky lad re plied: "Dats what the Germans all say." :o:- The first business, when the Ger man delegates appear at the peace congress, is to be the verification of their credentials, which means the ascertaining if any of them are un der indictment anywhere for loot ing. :o:- Illinois claims the most eccentric man. Ho keeps his clock three hours ahead of standard time, will not eat meat, and has never con sented to vote. Which is nil very dull and uninteresting to n resi dent of riat turnout h. where is sr.' I to reside a man who will not argue about. tho Leost'iA nf Nations because he has never read either the original jor the amended covenant. Be sure your right, then go ahead. :o: Old Sol could help the farmers right now. :o: The flag is waving nicely on the court house. Thanks! :o: lne (lennition is a harheu wire fence surrounding the garden of op portunity. :o: A school teacher, if qualified, is worthy of her hire anywhere, and should receive a good compensation. :o: One more month of school. The little boys don't care as long as the water in the swimming holes keeps too cold for all practical purposes. :o: "Postponed on account of rain," is not a very pleasing headline in the papers just now. But we will have to "grin and bear it," just the same. : o : That is true culture which gives us sympathy with every form of hu man life and enables us to work most successfully for its advance ment. -:o: Most of the previous reminiscences of other days 'about eating. Wasn't there anything in the good old-times worth paying attention to but ap petite? :o: Wo are Indebted to the Chicago Tribune for the news that Mr. A. G. Bouquet is professor of vegetable gardening in the Oregon Agricultur al College. :o: The Bolshevist armies on the Si berian front are reported to be re- tirimr "in good disorder," which is the way we should expect Bolshe vist armies to retire. :o: Askinc Mr. Burleson to walk a wire would answer the purpose just as well as asking him to walk the plank and would probably keep him off Sot-ret arv Daniels' territory be- ides. :o: If the American women, n their ppeal for a 5-cent loaf of bread. succeed m so ins a lu-eem loai - .. , , r that will last through a meal. there'll be amnio excuse for a holi day and a parade. :o: A visit insr Bolshevist in New York, denving anv knowledge of a Mav Dav bomb plot, says it might have been hatched up by rough per sons aiming to discredit the Bolshe- vtst movement. Well, if that's the way it was, those rough person have succeeded. :o: .Tnnn Onincv Adams was 80 year? nf an-, omi n hp walked down a Boston street a friend met him and asked: "How is John Quincy Adams today?" The sixth president of the United States replied: "John Quincy Adams himself is well, sir; quite well, I thank you. But the house in which he lives at present is becom ing dilapidated.
