War with Mexico unless an admiral's demand for, a salute to the Stars and Stripes? Tnat is gravely declared to be the alternative. An officious underling at Tampico arrested a pay master and a squad of marines and held them for a few minutes until called down by his superiors. This is interpreted by the American admiral— and apparently by Washington—as an “insult;” an insult to be retrieved by the firing of a salute of twenty-one guns to the flag. Failing that—war! That is the gold lace notion of maintaining the national honor. That is the bureaucratic conception of what the United States must resort to when some fool foreigner either ignorantly or maliciously gives affront which officialdom has magnified into a mortal assault on national dignity. Yet Mexican officials were swift to deny any intentional discourtsey. They were quick to express their regret and their purpose properly to discipline the petty officer who committed the blunder. It is incredible that President Wilson and Secre tary Bryan have fallen in with the jingo folly. No one was hurt and no one really compromised in the episode which has so aroused our American ad miral and Washington officialdom. Just what actu ally took place in connection with the arrests, we have only the word of the paymaster to show. His personal dignity, of course, suffered severely in the af fair, and doubtless the marines felt silly as they were marched along the Tampico streets under momentary arrest. But the Mexican version of the incident has not been available. We do not know whether the pay master and his escort had any business ashore or not or whether they were comporting themselves in a wholly proper manner. We know only that General Mass expressed regret when the matter was called to his notice and gave every proper assurance that it was without the sanction of himself or his superiors. This should have settled the matter then and there. But our great admiral would not let slip so good a chance as this to jump into the center of the stage. The flag must be saluted or war resorted to as the alternative. Only thus can the insult be wiped out and the dignity of the great republic upheld. What rot! What besotted devotion to a false con ception of national dignity and honor. What stupid following of autocratic precedent. For an offence that at the very most was merely venial it is proposed that a bloody war shall be participated in the absence of a ceremony sealing an apology already offered. The lives of hundreds or possibly thousands of American men are to be sacrificed to wipe out a fancied insult. Hundreds of millions of treasure are to be poured out to satisfy the punctilio of an admiral whose vanity out weighs his patriotism and whose sense of honor has been blunted by a too serious view of himself. But for the horrible gravity of all it would be excruciat ingly funny—Johnstown, Pa., Democrat The plan to run a municipal saloon in St Paul did not pan out. The wets of course did not favor the plan, and the drys concluded such a thing would make them partners in the liquor business, hence when it came to a vote it stood 2 to 1 against the proposition. The license we understand has been placed at $2500 per year and limited to two saloons. We should con sider such a high license as almost prohibitive. Would we have had war with Mexico, if the pre sent secretary of war were compelled to go down there and enjoy all the blessing of a common private? Not if he could help it,for he was not brave enough to even smell powder when colonel of the 3rd Nebraska, and resigned his command when he sniffed action and bloodshed. • » Pretty tough on McKelvie, present lieutenant governor of Nebraska. The supreme court has decid a man can not run for governor while holding an of fice. Right or wrong, we, as a patriotic people, will stand by the president in his course toward Mexico. Resolution, Notice and Proposition Whereas. Under the laws of the State of Nebraska it is made the tuty of the County Board of Super-i visors of each county in the state to provide for a safe and suitable court uouse for the transacting of the county business, and to provide suita ble offices for the accommodation of the county officers and court rooms and officers for the accommodation of the several courts of record of the county, and tire-proof vaults and safes, tor the safs keeping of county records, and to provide a safe jail of sufficient strength to hold prisoners. And Whereas, Sherman county's court house is an old brick structure and in poor repair, and not fireproof, and wholly inadequate for the ser vices required and unsanitary in every particular, and the vaults are not fireproof and not of sufficient ca pacity to hold the records of the county, and many of the valuable records of the county affecting titles to real estate are in’no way protected against fire, and some of the more valuable records are protected by reason of the board through necessity having hired bank vaults outside of the court house. The county jail is an old rrame structure, and is not of sufficient strength to hold prisoners, aud is un healthful and unfit for use. And Whereas, By reason of the aforesaid condition of the court house and jail of said county the record title to each tract of real estate in said county is in danger, also the court records and the records involving the estates of deceased persons are unsafe and liable to be destroyed by tire or otherwise, which might result in endless litigation and great expense. And the unsanitary condition of our jail is dangerous to the health of any unfortunates who may have to be in carcerated therein, by reason whereof the county may become liable in dam ages to those confined therein. Now, therefore be it resolved by the Board of County Supervisors of said county of Sherman, in the state of Nebraska, in regular session met at the court house in Loup City, Ne braska, the county seat of said coun ty, and the usual place of meeting of said board, on the 19th day of March, 1914. That there be submitted to the legal voters of said county at a special election to be held therein on Tuesday. May the 12t.h, 1914, the proposition which is set out fully in the following form of notice, which is made a part of this resolution, which said proposition it will be necessary to carry, in order to enable said board to provide a suitable and proper court house and jail for said county, to-wit: To the Legal Voters of Sherman County, Nebraska: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That at a special election to t>e held in said county on Tnesday. May 12th, 1914, there will be submitted to the legal voters of said county, for their acceptance or rejection, the following proposition, to-wit: “Shall the Board of County Super visors of Sherman county. State of Nebraska, for and in behalf of said county, issue the bonds of said coun ty in the sum of seventy-five thousand ($75,000.00) dollars, of the denomina tion of $1,000.00 each, for the purpose of purchasing material for, and build ing, erecting, constructing, furnish ing and completing a fire-proof court house with jail in connection in said county, in the city of Loup City, the county seat of said county, on block four (4) of the original town now city of Loup City, the county seat of said Sherman county, Nebraska, accord ing to the plat on file of said block four (4). baid court house and jail to cost not to exceed 975.000.00 completed and furnished according to plans and specifications prepared by Berlinghof & Davis of Lincoln, Nebraska, on file in the office of the county clerk of said county.

The said bonds to be negotiated at a sum not less than their lace value. Said'bonds to be sold only in amounts needed and at the times needed for the construction of said court house and j&ll in connection, and the coupons thereon which may be ma tured at the date of sale are to be clipped therefrom, so that said bonds will draw interest only from date of sale. And shall the aforesaid board of count) supervisors of the county of Sherman, in the state of Nebraska, or such other officers of said county as may be charged by law with the duty of levying the taxes of said county, for the time being in addi tion to all other taxes, levy, or cause to be levied annually upon all taxable property in said county a tax suffi cient to pay the interest on said bonds as the same mature, and shall said board of supervisors of saidcoun tv, or such other officers as may be charged by law with the duty of levy ing the taxes of said county for the time reing in addition to ail other taxes, levy, or cause to be levied in the year 1915, and each year there after, a tax upon all the taxable prop erty of said county sufficient to pay not less than 92,000.00 of the princi pal of said bonds annually for the first two years, and* not less than 94. 000.00 of the principal of said bonds each year thereafter, and on the 20th year after the issuance of said bonds levy, or cause to be levied, a tax upon all the taxable property of said coun ty an amount sufficient to pay the residue of said bonds then unpaid, and interest thereon, if any.
