Germany has passed regulations for the conservation of all food supplies in that country. All stocks of corn, wheat and flour were ordered siezed by Feb. 1st, and all transaction in these com ■ modies were forbidden after .Jan. • 25. Evidently the German gov ■ ernment proposes to get down to brass tacks, so to speak, on the economy plan in everything. Following the lead of Germany, the English government has made all foodstuffs contraband of war and will sieze all foodstuffs on the high seas, from whatever country shipped to. In other words Uncle Sam is made to understand that if he or any other neutral country dares to ship foodstuffs anywhere Johnny Bull will take it away from them and appropriate to his own use. Just how long this country can remain neutral and let Johnny Bull it'into quiescense, is a matter of time only, as it looks now. Isn’t there a limit to which England can go in trying to bluff Uncle Sam? When Chief Justice Hollenbeck died. Gov. Morehead had the chance of his life to rise above politics, but as water never rises above its level, so the democratic governor couldn’t rise above his narrow political status. He made two nominations of democrats to succeed the dead justice, without avail, and finally landed on a com paratively unknown and untried young democratic lawyer from the sandhills of northern Nebraska, 4‘ who~accepted the highest judicial responsibility in the state. If he wanted to carry out the non-parti san law in the spirit in which it was supposed to be framed, why did he not appoint Judge Manoah B. Reese to succeed himself? Senator Bushes of Kimbal! has introduced a bill in the upper house of the Nebraska legislature providing that all election boards shall have four judges and six clerks and that after sufficient number of ballots have been cast on election day the board shall di vide and begin counting. This is to expedite election returns. The Northwestern wishes to go on re cord as being unqualifiedly in favor of such a change in election laws. The present way is very unsatisfactory, delaying, as it does, returns from the heavier precincts for days before results are known. In the new-proposed way, results may be determined almost as soon as the last vote is cast. Representative Sievers has in troduced a bill in the Nebraska lower house pi*oviding that county officers shall hold their'terms for four years, instead of two years. Kill it. If a county officer has proved a good and competent of ficial, he can easily be re-elected; if he be an incompetent or unsatis factory one; two years is enough for him to be foisted on the public and the voters can throw him over the transom. The first thing we know, some fool law-maker will be trying to put men in office on the life-time, plan, if such idiotic measures are allowed to become laws. The lower house of the legisla ture at Lincoln has gone on re cord by an almost unanimous vote in favor of a constitutional con vention. In. our judgment, this is far prefeajfrle to the piece-meal way of amt£»ing the state laws indulged in the past few years. The piece-meal way costs the state in publicatibn of amendments many thousands of dollars every biennium, without any assurance of their becoming laws, and in iact as a general thing losing out at the elections. By all means, let there be a constitutional con vention and get results. In one of Billy Sunday’s recent sermons he said: “The average young man is more particular about the company he keeps than the average girl, I’ll tell you. If he meets somebody on the street whom he doesn't want to meet he will duck into the first open door way and avoid the publicity of meeting her, for fear she might smile or give an indication that she might have seen him some where and some time before that. Yet our so-called best girls keep company with young men whose character would make a black mark on a piece of anthracite.1’ We see that the postoffice de partment has recommended the se lection of rural route carriers by competitive bidding. As long as the law provides for competitive bidding on printing, bridge building, governmental contracts for public building and a thousand and one other things, we suppose it is becoming the thing to do along all lines and we shall exi>ect soon to have the rural carriers bucking each other along the same line. i Custer county’s new jail is now finished. It has six regular cells, an apartment for the insane and a detention room, besides living quarters for the sheriff. Every cell contains a lavatory, and there is a big shower bath at the end of corridor. It cost $20,000. Stolen, But Mighty Good Dope Listen, daughter. Your mother tells me that you and she have been talking over the matter of getting a hired girl to do the housework. She also says that she feels sure that you two could get along with the work all right, but that the young fellow who is coming around here evenings will think we are not swell enough if he knows that you and mother do the housework. Don’t you worry about that. If he thinks such stuff, he is not good enough for you. But he looks pretty good to me and if he is half the fellow I take him to be he’ll think all the more of you when he knows that you not only know how to cook and bake and mend, but that "you are on the job. So let’s put up a little game on him. The next time he comes, receives him in your kitchen apron. Tell him to to amuse himself in the parlor for a moment until you finished mani curing the supper dishes. I won’t be here, you know. He picks out my iodge nights to make his calls. So I won’t be in the parlor to embarrass him. Then, along about 10 o’clock, ask him if he wouldn't like a bite of lunch. He’ll insist that it will be too much trouble, but you tell him he may come along and help. Any man in the w?>rld will fall for that. He’ll trail along after you to the kitchen. You’ll have the stage all set and the proper cos tumes ready. The costumes will consist of a couple of aprons, one for you and one for him. Oh, he’ll put it on. If there is any thing a young fellow will fall for it’s the kitchen apron and a job of doing nothing but keeping out of the wayi Then you get the lunch ready. Tell him to slice the bread and no matter how he butchers it, tell him it’s fine. Ask him if he can make a salad dressing’. If lie says he can, let him go to it. And you praise it to the skies. Ask him for the recipe. Tell him you’ll keep it secret. What would you like for a wedding present. Tries to Kill Himself By Shooting At Grand Island last Wednes day after John Kimrough, aged 25, tried to kill himself by shoot ing and failed he handed the gun to a policeman who found him lying in the ante-room of the Moose hall with a bullet hole through his body, and begged him to fin ish the job by blowing out his brains. Kimrough was despond ent over ill health and financial troubles. It is believed he will live. He has relatives at Shelton, Neb. RAILROADS APPEAL TO PRESIDENT The Common Carriers Ask for Re- i lief—President Wilson Directs Attention of Public to Their Needs. The committee of railroad execu tives. headed by Mr. Frank Trumbull, representing thirty-five of the leading railroad systems of the nation, recent ly presented to President Wilson a memorandum briefly reviewing the dif ficulties now confronting the railroads of the country and asking for the co operation of the governmental authori ties and the public in supporting rail road credits and recognizing an emer gency which requires that the rail roads be given additional revenues. The memorandum recites that the European war has resulted in general depression of business on the Ameri can continent and in the dislocation of credits at home and abroad. With revenues decreasing and interest rates increasing the transportation systems of the country face a most serious crisis and the memorandum is a strong presentation. of. the. candje burning aC both ends and the perils that must ultimately attend such a conflagration when the flames meet i3 apparent to all. In their general discussion the railroad representa tives say in part: “By reason of leg islation and regulation by the federal government and the forty-eight states acting independently of each other, as well as through the action of a strong public opinion, railroad expenses in recent years have vastly Increased. No criticism is here made of the gen eral theoj-y of governmental regula tion, but on the .other hand, no in genuity can relieve the carriers of ex penses created thereby." President WilBon, in transmitting the memorandum of the railroad presidents to the public, character izes it as "a lucid statement of plain truth." The president recognizing the emergency as extraordinary, con tinuing, said in part: "You ask ma to call the attention of the country to the imperative need that railway credits be sustained and the railroads helped in every possible way, whether by private co-operative effort or by the action, wherever feasible of governmental agencies, and t am glad to do so because 1 think the need very real." The conference was certainly a fortunate one for the nation and the president is to be congratulated for ■•pening the gate td a new world of if'ort in which everyone may co-oper te. There are many important prob lems in our complex civilizaticn that will yield to co-operation which will not lend themselves to arbitrary rul ii gs of commissions and Anancing railroads is one ot them. The man with the money is a factor that can not be eliminated from any business transaction and the public is an inter ested party that should always be con sulted aud happily "the president has invited alt to participate in the solu iou of our railroad problems i RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS We need social centers where our young people can be entertained, l amused and instructed under the di rection of cultured, clean and com petent leadership, where aesthetic surroundings. stir the love for the beautiful, where art charges the at mosphere with inspiration and power, and innocent amusements instruct and brighten their lives. To hold our young people on the farm we must make farm life more attractive as well as the business of farming more remunerative. The school house should be the social unit, properly equipped for nourishing and building character, so that the lives of our people can properly function around it and become supplied with the necessary elements of human thought and activity. Education is a developing of the mind, not a stuffing of the memory. Digest what you read. Old men have visions, young men have dreams. Successful farmers plow deep while sluggards sleep. The growing of legumes will retard soil depletion and greatly add to its power to produce. The farmers are in need of personal leadership. They have political lead ?rs. out they need local mdustria' T - FOR SALE Five or six acres of ground in al falfa* fenced chicken tight. For terms and particulars, see Alfred Anderson.
