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.

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,

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'
