The most Vital ami inexcusable errors a legislative laaiy can com mit i> to |«iss a law containing a •iiscnr-jraiK-y in tlie date it shall take effect. Tlie democratic con i. ress tneorjairated just such a blunder in tl«e “war tax" law. SwUue gl of this law declares that "the stamp taxes prescribed on Uie articles provided for iu ^schedule B sliall attach to all such articles thirty days after the aji pruval <>f (lie act." •schedule B itself, however, pro vided that "all articles and prejia raUoas provided for which are in tlie hands «»f manufacturers or • ieahrrs ■« !Vcember 1. lull, 'hall be subject to tlie payment of the stamp taxes herein, etc. The two pro* I'iutis are absolute ly isiQtradietory. \\ lien tlie tieasury department came to en force the law it was unable to har ui -mze tie- two conflictitig dates, f ingn-ss had adjourued and it was impossible to correct the blunder by pri>per legislative action. A bo. -d interpretation was the only alternative. Tie-department arbitrarily fixed tlie date of en forcement. virtually assuming a f .!«-t *n that belonged only to the legislative laaiy. The whole subject of financial legislation seems to have been a !a!ai stumbling Mock to the demo crats. While they have bluudered in scores of oilier important measures, this tendency lias l**en 'l*ecudi> emphasized in every statute dealing with tile receipt or exje-ndilure of money u> conduct toe affairs of government. The last congress icissed three laws notably designed to raise ui -ie-y. UisU tiie tariff law: second, tlie iij>-otDe tax law : and third, the “war lax**. It is significant that tne revenues from each fell short of ll» amount needed, thereby ismiribut ing to tlie treasury deficit, aid .i ts i*-d to a mass of exf**nsive litigation las-a use the legislative intent . on Id lie determined only by ju ltcai interpretation. I'irn- isu inconsistency border ing » very plain and simple proposi tion which has been recognized by tlie majority of tlie |ieople of the I'nited Mate* in etery election ex cept two since Abraham Lincoln stated ihe fact. in his plain and simple language when he said that if »f buy an article from a Kuro l«-aii producer, we get the article, and ’lie resident of Euro|ie gets tl»e money, while if we buy from an A lie ri< an producer. we get the article and also keep the money. In an effort to pacify the fanners, tie- democratic press as serts that taking off the duty of live cents a dozen and admitting 7g.ooo.ooo eggs free of dul.\ did not red.ee the price the farmer re ceives. If tie* imjMirtation of 7i, <«mi.o>«> egg* didn't injuriously »s.iujiete with tin-American farmer, why did tlie < 'liinese producer send tin-ui lien* after the tariff was removed, but not la-fore? It i.s true tlie imported eggs are small in «ize and ileieriorated bv age. but so much tin- worse, for they serve that much more effectively in bold ing down tlie price the farmer re ceive* for good eggs. Tin* administration will ImnJI.v waste tuu** Irving to explain away tl»e increase in the cost of living in lull a compared with IUI3. The Statistics are its own. The demo cratic tariff went into effect in < tet<4a*r mu. I Ia* war broke out in Augo«t 1914. Tliere were ten and a half months of uninterrupted o|i|M>rtunity for the democratic ad noiustralcoii to fulfill its pledge of irtlucwd oist of living. It failed s«. completely that it de f.-ii.d pul iication of comparative rrlaii pii-vs until June. 15114. l»e«iio, ratic new>paj»ers are in sisting that republicans shall uot dwu» politics while controversies with foreign countries are land ing. but they lose no opportunity to give widest publicity to every political s| *»*»■<• h made by members of the president’s cabinet. By what right do democrats claim the exclusive privilege to talk politics? "However much we may differ as to the exact character of the causes, this much is certain: That in this country prosperity has in variably accompanied protection, while business and industrial de pression have just as invariably gone hand in hand with free trade." This statement, made on the floor of the senate in September, 1913, by Senator Sutherland of Utah, proves that statesman a true prophet. The sooner we stop theorizing and get back to the basis of protection and prosperity the better it will be for American lieople and American interests. The national treasury* statement for Saturday. June 26, showed a balance of only S3o.922.765.();> on hand as compared with a balance of >142.527.743.4 s. covering the same items, in 1913,when republi can laws governed revenues and disbursements. The deficit June 26 was SS6.932,983.63 for ordinary disbursements and Si 15,268,367.7*! for a I disbursements. AS THE EDITOR SEES IT. Wo want the farmers to come to tli<* olfice and see us when they come to town, and we have a two fold object in extending this invi tation. We want to keep in touch with each and everyone of you and we want you to tell us the news of your res|R>ctive neighbor hood* for publication in the paper. Everyone of you has an item or two of which others want to learn, and if each one of you hands in the news when you come to town you will all know everything of imjxirtance throughout the whole community. Come and see us. Sometime* we run across a itor so n who always lias a wail because Ins neighbors have plenty and he has nothing. And if we could just follow them to the end of their •areers we would probably find the neighbors continuing in the en joyment of plenty while the wailer drift* along with hi* accumulation of nothing. And then if we cared to dig down and exhume the cause we would doubtless find the neigh bors working and improving their opportunities while the wailer carelessly allows his to flit by. At least that is to way it appears to us.* and it is so simple we be lieve it to lie true. M lien the editor approaches the avenge citizen in his quest for news he is invariably told that the citizen “doesn't know a thing,’" and that answer is about as near I lie truth as the nat ions of Europe are to effecting a prompt settle ment of their differences. Every Laly knows something, and most jreople know a lot of somethings that are worth telling and would make breezy and newsy stories, but they just bottle it up in the walls of their dome and forget that it is there. Sometimes the editor i' able t<> pry it loose word for word until he gets the story, when it would be the easiest and simplest tiling in the world to let it ail out in a rush. I’ull the cork, brother, and let out the contents of your intellectual bottle and we will pass it on to others who are thirsty for news. \ou know a plenty, if you «>nly know that you know it.

THE REAL AMERICAN HEIRESS A Worthy Standard of Conduct the Only Imperishable Heritage. To know that one’s forebears wen people of refinement, of culture, ot gentle breeding, instead of inspiring arrogance should challenge the best that is In one, lest he fall short as a representative of those in whose per ons these graces once flowered, writes Ruth McEnry Stuart in Harp ■r's Bazar. An inherited standard of life—let us put that down in our list of blessings. And for all Inherent good which has come down to us as a benediction, without the asking, and which may lie held only in trust as a sacred re sponsibility, let us delight to give tliauks. We American women, then, will tel' 10 our children any true story of prow ess. of chivalry, of long patience and reverent waiting—of any great qual ity which has found expression in lives of any of their ancestors—so that they may know themselves thus endowed with the o..ly imperishable heritage. The daughter, the grand daughter, who comes by direct line into such an inheritance is the rea' American heiress. She may not have a dinner gowrn to her name, or be “up’ in the etiquette of fashionable life. Perhaps she is not j even a person of leisure, much less a member of the "leisure class.” If so. : so much the better. So much more } hopefully has she her life in her own hands.

There being no dentist ia the little town where he resided lu.o Hod Rowdvbnsh had gone to the county seat to have an aching tooth ex tracted. "I see it's one of your large molars.” said the dentist at whose ci lice he called, "and it will come pretty hard. Don't you think you'd better take gas?" "I don't know,” answered Uncle Hod. "Does it cost anything extra?” "Yes, it will be two dollars if you take gas and one dollar if you don''." ‘How long does it take to pull it that way?” "It won't seem any time at ail to you. You go to sleep and vo '. seem to wake up immediately and the tooth is out." “And I don’t feel it come out?" "Not a particle.” Unde Hod reflect”.1. “Well," he said "I’ve come _7 miles to have this tooth pulled at. ! think I'm entitled to the satisfaction of km wing when you yar.k it out—to nothin’ of savin’ a dollar.

Let Radcliffe Build It Be Sure of Your Plans When you get plans for the new house be sure that you under stand them thorough ly. Some builders go by rule of thumb and think that they can explain to the owner what he wants better than if they took the trouble to make a blue print of the building. It is Sure to CauseTrouble If you think you are getting one thing and the builder has a diff erent idea, and the re sult is that the work is to be done over or else you are very dis appointed in some part of your house. Let me explain my system of making plans and you will be convinced that it is the only way. Edward Radcliffe ♦ Let Radcliffe Build It It Can’t Sting. The editorof an Illinois exchange is a public benefactor and when he dies the people of his country ought to erect a monument as big as a hay- stack to the honor of his memory. He has discovered a new way to get rid of mosquitos. He tells you simply to rub alum on your face and hands. When the mosquito takes a bit it puckers his gazoopie so it can not sting. Then it sits down in a damp place tries to dig the pucker loose, catches its death of cold and dies of pneumonia. CHAUTAUQUA Begins August 7 5—BIO DAYS—5 LOUP CITY, NEBR.

The Yodle’s,—Alpine Entertain ers, who will lie here on our Chau tauqua program this summer, at Lincoln, Nebraska last summer and gave what proved to be one of the most unique and most ap preciated entertainments of the en tire year. The following is taken from u Lincoln, Nebraska paper: “World famous song-birds reen gaged. Hirschhorn's Alpine En tertainers drew such a large and enthusiastic audiences at Capital Reach last week that the manage ment has engaged for another week. “They will give two entertain ments every evening in the air dome. Never before have such crowds gathered to witness a one act entertainment as have gone to hear those noted song-birds of the Alps. “Mr. Hirschhorn with his Zither selections certainly proves himself a master of the instrument. 11 is equal has never been heard here. The vocalists are repeatedly showered with applause.” Miss Edith Storey who has the part of Glory Quayle in the play was selected for the part after all of the prominent stars of the mo-j tion picture world had lieen con-1 side red and rejected. Miss Storey j chanced to be the particular type of women for the part, and when her many successes were taken into ac count, it was decided to entrust her with the biggest role ever given a woman star. Miss Storey appears in nearly every scene of the play and no time does her work suffer in the slightest from over work. “The Christian” with Miss Storey and Earle Williams as John Storm will be seen at the Daddow theater on July 12, 10 and 25c.
