The Quiz hist week beat the tom tom loudly in a column article to awaken the commercial club of that city from a lethargy or or listlessness into which it has fallen of late. The Quiz absolves the officers of the club from all this, but finds the membership too deeply interested in personal affairs to the neglect of the gen eral good and ascribes the whole trouble to ennui, and brings forth a great numberof important ques tions for the public good which might and should be threshed out at meetings which would fiil the hall each session. Ord is not alone in this sleepy spirit and the prodding of the Quiz is timely and to the point. A little of such prodding might be a good for other commercial clubs well. Editor Davis of the Ord Jour nal has been named for postmaster at Ord, is at present president of Loup Valley editorial association, vice president of fhe Nebraska state editorial association, first as sistant clerk in the Nebraska house for the second time, has been named by his democratic newspaper friends as fit material for governor, will probably be put in for president at the next meet ing of the state editorial associa tion, fell heir to a $10,00t> libel siut from a couple of tramp doc tors, and makes Judge Howard and Will Maupin look like 30 cents along publicity lines when com pared to him. Even Billy Bryan will have to look to his laurels, with Horace in the game at such lightning speed. Ord seems to have more than its share of men and women who engage in illicit love affairs, or more publicly aired, than sister towns. Last week two cases of that kind were given to the pub lic by the Quiz, which is in the habit of telling what is going on, and with little care who gets hit, or where its sharpnel shots strike. If you won't be good and don’t want it known, keep away from Ord and from the knowl edge of Bro. Haskell and the Quiz. The allies have advised all neu tral countries that they have put a blockade on all Teuton ports, but assert they will respect the lives of all passengers and crews of vessels, while they hold themselves at liberty to stop all shipping to and from Germany and the countries of its allies. The allied forces are determined to starve out their German adversa ries, evidently, at whatever cost, ahd the neutrals are advised to take their part of the medicine and look pleasant. Last week the great Sara Bern hardt suffered the amputation of one leg, caused by an old-time af fliction of that member. The di vine Sara has been pulling the public leg for so many decades memory goeth not back to the time when the grueling nrocess began.

Last Friday the Nebraska legis lature laid to rest the proposed amendment to the law prohibiting saloons within the two and a half mile limit of Fort Crook. A DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT A supreme court decision which will be of interest to many peo ple was recently handed down by court in a case brought by Will iam F. Bonlender, against the Southern Telephone company, an appeal taken from the circuit court of St Joseph county. In this case the supreme court held the telephone and telegraph com panies are liable for damages for the needless and unnecessary mu tilation of shade strees by linemen erecting pole lines through the county. In many instances line men have put through pole lines and wires, cutting out limbs of shade trees wherever they ob structed the progress of their work. A portion of the opinion of the supreme court in this case reads: “An abutting owner to a highway, owning in fee to the middle of the highway, may re cover damages for the unauthor ized and unwarranted cutting and mutilation of shade trees in the highways by the telephone com pany in constructing its lines."’ Bolender a farmer brought suit because the telephone company had cut the tops out of a number of fine maples along the highway bordering his property. The de* fendant took the position that he did not own the trees. The higher court, however holds that a man’s property extends to the middle of the road.

War Revenue Tax of $105,000,000 Levied—Beer Bears Brunt of Burden. Congress ha6 levied a war tax of lliij,100,000 to offsei a similar amount of loss on iinpori revenue due to tlie European disturbances and of this amount be-er is the heaviest contributor, having been assessed ap proximately $50,000,000; a stamp taxon negotiable instruments, it is estimated, vi ill yield $31,000,000; a tax on the capital stork of banks of $4,300,000 mid ci tax on tobacco, perfumes, thea ter tickets, etc., makes the remainder. Congress has decreed that the b-ewer, the banker and the investor must shoulder the musket and march to the front; that milady who would acid to her beauty must first tip Uncle Sam, and a dollar that seeks pleasure mu3t first salute the flag; that Pleas ure and Profit—the twin heroes of many wars—shall fight the nation's battles and by an ingeniously ar ranged schedule of taxation congress has shifted the war budget from the shoulders of Necessity to those of Choice and Gain, touching in its various ramifications almost every line of business. All hail the dollar that bleeds for its country; that bares its breast to the fortunes of war and risks its life to preserve the stability and integrity of the nation's credit. The market place has always been a favorite stand for war revenue col lectors. The trader Is a great finan cial patriot Rts dollar Is the first to rally aruu'fHT the star-spangled banner and the last to hear the coo of the dove of peace. He is called upon to buy cannon; to feed and clothe the boys in blue and each month cheer their hearts with the coin of the realm. Men can neither be free nor brave without food and ammunition, and money is as important a factor in war as blood. Many monuments have been erected in honor of heroes s'eiu in bnfMes. poems have been writ ten euicgizing their noble deeds and the nation honors Its soldiers while they live and places a monument upon their graves when they die, but very Ixttle has been said of the dollar that bears the burdens of war. Honor to the Dollar that Bears the Supdens of War. AH hor.r.r to the dollar that an swers the call to arms and. when the battle is over, bandages the wounds of striiken soldiers, lays a wreath imon the graves of fallen heroes and cares for the widows and orphans. All honor to the industries that bend their backs under the burdens of war; lift the weight from the shoul ders of the poor and build a bulwark around the nation’s credit. A11 honor to those who contribute to the necessities and administer to the comforts of the boys who are marching: cool the fever of afflicted soldiers and kneel with the cross be side dying heroes. A dollar may fight its competitor in business, industries may struggle for supremacy in trade and occupations may view each other with envy or suspicion, but wh°n the bugle calls they bury strife and rally around the flag, companions and friends, mesa mates and chums, all fighting for one flag, one cause and one country. The luxuries in life have always been the great burden-bearers in gov ernment We will mention a few of them giving the annual contributions to the nation’s treasury: Liquor, $250, 000,000; tobacco, $103,000,000; sugar, $54,000,000; silks. $15,300,000; dia monds, $3,837,000; millinery, $2,479, 000; furs, $2,024,000 and automobiles, $870,000. We collect $665,000,000 of interna] and custom revenue annually and $450,000,000 of this amount classi fies as luxuries, and to thlB amount we should add the $100,000,000 war tax now levied. The war tax is immediately effec tive. Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! the industries are marching $100,000,000 strong and beneath the starry flag they will fill the treasury again while they shout, “Hurrah for Uncle Sam!” In every field of human activity the demand for more competent men and women is growing every day. Espe cially so in agriculture. Home pride is & mighty valuable as set, and the fanner who has none is carrying a heavy handicap on the road to success. Work is the salve that heals the wounded heart Rare Books Fetch High Prices. Ben Jonson’s works were in favor when the sale of the fourth portion of the Huth library commenced at Sothe by’s in London.
