THE AMERICAN NAVY
Proposals will be submitted at the
coming session of Congress to slash
$61,000,000 from the naval budget.
A penny wise and pound foolish
program.
Economy is the world's most vital
need.
Eut net at the expense of the navy
of the world's greatest nation.
The American fleet of battleships,
confronting the gravest crisis in hu
man history, should be kept up to
the highest possible standard of ef
ficiency and readiness for service.
"Meritorious projects can, must,
and will be deferred," says the Pres
ident. Which only once again proves that
he Is a man of short vision.
A slash of $61,000,000 in a naval
budget should mean nothing what
ever to a President who sailed up the
Atlantic the other day as several
thousands of dollars worth of gun
powder was wasted in firing him
silly Presidential salute.!.
Present times are abnormal. There
may come a time, ere many mcnths
have passed, when we will need our
navy and, like needing a gun in
Texas, we will need it right away.

THE SKYSCRAPER'S 43 YEAR3
Les than half a year since the
completion of the Empire State
Building comes the news from Chi
cago that the world's first skyscraper
the Home Insurance Building, is be
ing razed to make way for a new
forty-two story building. It is scarce
ly credible that between these two
W. L. B. Jenney's simple ten-story
structure, to which two stories later
were added, and the 105-story giant
of beauty, designed by Shreve, Lamb
& Harmon, which is at once assured
ly the mcst pleasing expression of the
skyscraper and the finest token of
its future there lies less than half a
century.
The Home Insurance Building was
completed in 1885 and is geserally
accepted as the world's first skyscrap
er, though claims are made in be
half of the Tacoma Building, razed
about a year ago. The insurance
building has recognition of the Am
erican Institute of Steel Construc
tion, Col. William A. Starrett and
other authorities as being the genu
ine pioneer. In it Jenney introduced
for the first time the foremost signal
characteristic of the skyscraper: he
designed .and erected a building in
which the) dead load was removed
from the walls and placed on a skele
ton framework of iron concealed
within the masonry. By virtue of
that fact, first laurels must go to the
Home Insurance Building, despite the
fact that the Tacoma Building was
the first structure ever erected in
which the outer walls two of them,
at any rate were simply nothing
other than curtains, carrying no bur
den and used only as ornamentation
and as a means of excluding wind
and weather.
Thus in but forty-six years the
United States has evolved what pos
sibly may be called the first and only
major art original to it. Today it 1b
no longer fashionable to decry the
skyscraper it has completed well
nigh worldwide respect for its in
tricate utility and in many cases ad
miration for its beauty. Moreover,
in the latest and greatest of its kind,
the Empire State building, there are
discernible tokens that the concom
itants of skyscraper design promise
to revolutionize the physical char
acteristics of urban life, restoring to
the city the light and sunshine of
which the earlier skyscraper and
lack of foresight robbed it, trans
forming ugliness into beauty and
grandeur..
:o: '
2I0RE THAN LEADERSHIP
At a time when most Americans
are' looking around hopefully for a
leader who can lead their country
through its perplexing maze of diffi
culties, it is interesting to find Gov
ernor Wilbur Cross of Connecticut
reminding us that even the discov
ery of such a leader won't necessarily
solve the problem.
Writing in the autumn number of
the Yale Review, Governor Cross re
marks: "If we have learned anything from
the war experience, it should be that
leadership is not enough. ... A citi
zen of a democracy such as ours can
not with a clear conscience delegate
hU authority to the expert in times
of prosperity and hide behind him in
times of trouble. The present period
of adversity will have its uses if it
recalls people in all walks of life to
the elementary rights and duties of
citizenship."
That paragraph goes straight to
the roots of a good many of the
troubles of the present movement.
For a number of years we have
been content to put ourselves in the
hands of others. We have fondly
trusted that these others were wiser
than we, but we haven't worried
aboot it greatly.
The nation at large used to take
its politics seriously. It used to get
all excited about the trends in busi
ness and economics. It was Jealous
of its rights. The country store,
where farmers gathered around the
cracker box to settle the affairs of the
nation, wasn't quite as funny an in
stiution as we like to pretend.
Recently we suffered a change. We
let politicians run governmental af
fairs about as they pleased, asking
only that they didn't worry us over
them. We were too busy to bother
abcut developments in finance and
industry, leaving all such things to
the square-jawed men in the front
office. We gave up a measure of our
old Independence, and asked only to
be led in something approximating
the right direction.
Now we are getting precisely what
we asked for. Corruption in city af
fairs, inefficiency in state capitals, a
mounting Federal deficit, industrial
stagnation, unemployment we re
fused to worry about any of them
until times got hard.
Good leadership, of course, Is need
ed. But it isn't enough by Itself.
Governor 'Cross is dead right la
pointing out that the rank and file In
a democracy have got to think for
themselves.
UTOPIAS HAVE THEIR USES
Some modern Sir Thomas More,
bent on writing a new "Utopia" to
set forth his ideal of a perfect world
order, might well choose economics
as his theme, since most burning pub
lie questions of today have to do
with world Industry and commerce.
The goal of any economic Utopia un
questionably would be a world so or-
c'c-ied that 3 very individual might
work according to his talents and be
Justly- rewarded. Opportunities for
self-improvement would be unlimit-
ad. always in the recognition that
the good cf one is the good of all,
and vice versa. Group action invar
iably would be directed toward pro
moting the happiness and well-being
of all Individuals in the group. Each
group would consider the effect of
its actions on the welfare of other
groups. Resources would be so man
aged that no part of them, needed by
anyone anywhere would lie idle or
go to waste.
Such a portrait is admittedly Utop
ian. Utopias, however, have their
uses. They are not sheerly chimeri
cal. Seldom fully attained, they none
the less spur endeavor to ameliorate
practical affairs.' They throw a
searchlight on existing systems, re
vealing imperfect cogs and. holding
up better models. Utopias aro sel
dom propounded until the need for
reform is urgent.
Necessity for finding ways to put
the world's 20,000,000 unemployed
to work has already brought forth
several proposals which a few years
ago would have been considered
Utopian. The American Federation
of Labor, with its plan for a "con
gress of industry," has offered one.
Another is the Swope plan for self
regulation of industry. The United
States Chamber of Commerce has
come forward with a similar scheme.
Several international agencies are
seeking to insure a more even flow
cf trade from areas of surplus to
those of famine. i
While the response of Industry to
these proposals is encouraging, it
gives little basis for expecting their
immediate adoption. This is no cause
for disturbance. Many of the "radi
cal" reforms Indirectly proposed by
Sir Thomas in 1516, such as aboli
tion of imprisonment for debt and
of capital punishment for theft, were
slow to come, but how are accepted
practice. So there is basis for hope
that : industry wjy oproe t to accept
forms of co-operation that will cor
rect obvious defects of uncontrolled
competition. And it must be remem
bered that the rate of change has
been greatly accelerated. The Utop
ias of today are often not many to
morrows away.
In all proposals ; for ameliorating
economic conditions, the emphasis is
rightly upon the need for more en
lightened management of the world's
resources. Will Rogers put it pithily
the other day when he said that the
United States is the first nation ever
to "go to the poorhouse in an auto
mobile.". With more wheat, more
corn, more food, more cotton, more
money in the banks, more "every
thing in the world than any nation
ever had, we are starving." We have
the resources, the cowboy philosopher
adds, "but we don't know how to
split 'em up."
This is the nub of thy situation.
The challenge is for better manage
ment all along the line Individuals,
companies, trade associations, gov
ernmental bodies and international
agencies have recognized this fact
and are thinking as never before on
the subject.
When the goal of erecting a world
order in which industry is to fulfill
its only legitimate end to produce
and distribute commodities needed by
humanity it kept t steadfastly in
view, progress toward it is certain.
Then in less thanthe 400 years that
have elapsed since More wrote his
"Utopia," hoarding, selfishness,
greed, cat-throat competition and all
the et ceteras which clog the eco
nomic machine may be as far from
private and public practice as im
prisonment for debt is now.

A. H. DUXBURY,
(Seal) o!8-3w County Judge.
Early History
of Plattsmouth
is Recounted
Continued from page one.
Plattsmouth that has existed for
many years will pass away and that
every true citizen of the county will
extend to the Board of Commission
ers their good will and next fall,
when the corner stone is laid, with
attendant ceremonies, let everybody
gather at Plattsmouth and barbecue
the fatted calf and tap a barrel of
new cider and let every one eat, drink
and be merry."
By their friendliness toward
Plattsmouth, the County Commis
sioners were the targets for bitter
invective on the part of the other
newspapers of the county as has been
previously referred to. The ire of
the Elmwood Echo was so aroused
against the Board that its fury broke
in a poetic broadside at the trio in
a three-verse poem supposed to have
been written by Col. Mayfield, edi
tor of the Louisville paper.
Yes, by God, there's A. B. Todd
The biggest man in town
Who'd vote for Plattsmouth and for
Hell
And never raise a frown.
And A. C. Loder, the petition explo
. der,
The Esau of modern times
With Judas Iscariot has joined the
band
To help Satan ring the chimes.
Apd Jacob Tritsch, the foreign
breach,
The better of the three
Would fain do right but fear some
night.
He'd decorate a tree:
In commenting on the poetic salvo
of Col. Mayfield. the Saturday Mir
ror averred that "when Col. Mayfield
contributes a series of rhymes it will
be high time for the average citizen
to take to the woods."
But the Commissioners were not
without their defenders in the field
of poetry. J. C. Boone replied im
mediately with a longer and more
glamorous eulogy of the Commission
ers entitled. "The Illustrious Three"
and dedicated to Col. MaySeld.
Though the selection did violence to
good cadence in places and took con
siderable liberty with poetic license,
it presented the viewpoint of the de
fenders of the Board.
O the screeching tool of Louisville,
May he soak his head and then
keep still.
He assails Loder. Tritsch and Todd
The noblest handiwork of God.
They are men of nerve and brain of
might
And; bound by conscience to do the
. right., i- .i
You may search the country far
around.
There is no three that can be
found
That for honor could them excell,
Altho he says they'd vote for hell.
This Hell contains some noble souls
That excell him who's raking
coals.
If you have no words of praise to
speak.
Refrain from venomous words to
reek;
You'll get no reward for your pains.
Wise .men will wonder where's
your brains.
The wise will know by the slanderous
Jaw
That you knoweth little of the
law.
Be silent Albert and hold your peace
And try in morals to increase.
Do not slander men of good repute
Just because you think it cute.
Sheldon has used you for a cats paw
With plenty of slander in your
Jaw.
You seem disfigured since the fight.
Like a flimsy tail to a battered
bite:
And when on your couch perchance
you'll dream
How you were fooled in the Pol
. lard scheme.
And dream another while on your
bed
That Plattsmouth people are not
dead!
The Louisville Courier-Journal on
February 27. 1891, issued an abusive
reply to the open letter of the Coun
ty Commissioners on the petition
question previously referred to. Aft
er abusing the members of the Board
individually, the paper charged that
the investigation as to the veracity
of the petitions was engineered by
Plattsmouth people aitd openly ac
cused the Commisioners of being ser
vants of Plattsmouth. After remind
ing the Commissioners that "God
hates a coward" the Courier-Journal
warned them that "a bigger and bet
ter petition is on the way." To this
viewpoint, the Saturday Mirror iron
ically replied, "such clean, out-spoken
activities as this is what makes
the honest son Of toll tired of this
county seat chestnut. However, when
the people of Louisville conclude to
present their petition signed with
ink and including 4000 names of
genuine voters, if it does not resemble
a Chinese wash bill and can be read
by an American citizen, their prayer
will doubtless be granted by the
Commissioners and another election
will be held."
The Union Ledger called attention
to the fact that "petitions for an
other election will have to hurry up
if they want the court house some
where else or move it in the form of
a mighty building on ' wheels" as
Plattsmouth was going forward with
plans and specifications for the con
struction work.
After more than a decade of con
troversy at the polls aud in court
litigation in which Plattsmouth could
not be defeated, removalist senti
ment in Louisville. Elmwood and
Union began to subside as the plans
for building were made in the spring
of 1891. But the ardor of Weeping
Water never abated one Iota. The
Weeping Water Eagle, the official or
gan of the removalists, admitted that
Louisville had . been persuaded to
give up the county seat fignt mrouga
the hope of getting a state penal in
stitution with- the help of Repre
sentative F. E. White. But the Eagle
suggested that Louisville "will be
holding the bag and get nothing. . A
large majority of the people of Cass
county want the seat of government
changed for the benefit of the masses.
They still feel like trying to secure
Justice."
The Elmwood Echo, upon whom
Weeping Water had depended for
support, admitted that "it is useless
to stand against fate any longer. We
have faced the enemy and have been
vanquished. . . . From all Indica
tions. the county seat of Cass county
will remain in Plattsmouth for all
time to come. . . . We might as well
attempt to dam up the rushing water
of the Missouri river as to hope for
justice from such a .source. An in
junction was served on the Commis
sioners to prevent them from destroy
ing the old court house but the courts
asked bonds of 3150,000 in case the
plaintiff lost. As the courts are sub
missive to Plattsmouth. it will be
useless to proceed further, so the in
junction was withdrawn by order of
the court. This ends it. ..."
The resignation of the Wabash
community to the conclusion that
Plattsmouth could not be defeated
may be seen in a letter from L. N.
Livingston of the executive commit
tee of the Removalists to W. H. Pool,
a canvasser, In which he stated: "Ycu
can abandon the canvass in your pre
cinct, for it is useless to try to get
enough signers since the contract is
let and the bonds given to insure
the completion of the county court
house at Plattsmouth ... we are
beat and can't help ourselves just
now and have to give up."
The Louisville Courier-Journal
told its readers that some bad de
manded an explanation as to why it
had stopped fighting and that "wo
did it for the simple reason that the
committee in charge requested us to.
We were informed that there was
no use agitating further."
Left stranded by her allies. Weep
ing Water turned some of her vitu
peration and abuse upon her former
friends for deserting the cause. The
Weeping Water Republican charged
that Plattsmouth and Louisville had
affected a compromise and "they ex
pect to work in harmony and it looks
very much like a case of sell out on
the part of Louisville. Plattsmouth
could well afford to purchase a half
dozen leading citizens of that old
moss-back burg and we believe she
has done it." Even The Elmwood
Echo criticized Louisville for drop
ping out of the battle. "It is rumor
ed that they (Louisville) are to get
an asylum fcr the feeble-minded and
do not want the court house. If they
be so lame in the upper story as all
this indicates, doubtless they need
an institution of this kind bad enough
and the committee on court house re
moval should be the first to adorn
Its walls."
Louisville took keen offense at the
sarcastic abuse of Weeping Water.
The Plattsmouth Saturday Mirror In
commenting on the breach between
these former allies, claimed that
Weeping Water had been able to com
mand the full vote of Louisville with
very few exceptions but that "today,
thanks to The Republican, if a coun
ty scat election should be held end
Weeping Water and Plattsmouth
were contesting points, Louisville
and the precinct and a good part of
Center wculd cast their vote for
Plattsmouth.'.'
While her former enemies who
had once worked together, now con
cluded the county seat quarrel by
fighting among themselves over who
was to blame for Plattsmo'uth's suc
cess, The Mirror announced that "the
people of Cass county can congrat
ulate themselves on the fact that the
County seat question has been set
tled for all time. . . . The old court
hcuse building is now a thing of the
past. Not a vestige of its former
grandeur remaining but a pile of
rubbish and the hole In the ground
that was formerly the cellar. This
hole Is causing the County Commis
sioners considerable trouble these
days and they would gladly part
with It to the highest bidder. We
suggest dividing the cellar up and
seling it to the farmers who signed
the last county seat removal petition
as post holes."
The Commisioners set June 29,
1891 as the date for the ceremonies
attendant to the laying of the corn
er stone. The program was to .be
arranged by the Plattsmouth Masonic
Lodge. On this auspicious occasion,
many dignitaries were, present.
Among them were: B. N. Slaughter
of Fuilerton. Grand Master; J. B.
Black, Bloomlngtoh. Grand Junior
Warden: Chris Hartin, Omaha. Grand
Treasurer; W. R. Bowen, Omaha,
Grand Secretary and Rev. G. W. Mar
tin, Kearney, Grand Chaplain. The
City Board. Ancient Order of Hibern
ians, Knights of Pythias and the
Plattsmouth Masonic Lodge were all
represented and W. B. Murphy was
marshal! of the day.
The grand procession assembled
and marched west on Main street to
7th and north to Oak street and then
back to the court house where Grand
Master Slaughter delivered a short
address and a copper container con
taining official documents and a copy
of the Saturday Mirror were deposit
ed in the corner stone. "It was a
great day for Cass county," said The
Mirror," and one that will long be
remembered as the date of the oc
casion of the laying of the corner
stone of the county's magnificent new
court house. . . It is hoped that this
will be made the occasion of a re
union of the people of the eastern
and western parts of the county and
that all hatred will be buried and
nothing but the future prosperity of
our county will be considered." ,
On May 23, 1892, the Hon. J.
Starling Morton, emninent Nebras-
kan and Secretary of Agriculture un
der President Cleveland, "electrified
his audience" with his dedicatory ad
dress and presented to the county an
oil painting of Gen. Lewis Cass for
whom the county was named and the
hectice county seat controversy was
relegated to the pages of history.
(This concludes Chapter 3. the
next chapter will deal with Platts
mouth and the Railroads.')
