"In one year the American people must decide how they shall meet a national crisis.” Sentor Reed Smoot, member of the Senate Finance committee, made this statement today as a comment upon the national defense program. “As now proposed,” said Senator Smoot, “the proposed national de fense program involves an expenditure of more than one billion dollars; the expenditures, however, to cover a period of five years. That expendi ture must be financed. “How shall it be done? That is a question voters must answer one year later. It is a grave responsibility. I thoroughly believe that there can be, and will be, but one course to pursue. That is to elect a republican president and a republican congress. “The repuDncan party is the only one that in policy and performance has proven adequate to meet such a situation. Considered from every angle the democratic party has demon strated its inability and unfitness for the task. “Remember that the balance of trade against us during the four months preceding the war, at a time when democratic policies and laws were in effect, was $248,000,000. What a political blessing the war was to the democratic party. “In two years the democratic ad ministration has produced such busi ness conditions that, but for the pure ly accidental stimulus of a foreign war, we would now be in the throes of a panic. Eliminate the market created by temporary artificial Eu ropean demands, and American indus try would be prostrated. “Past history has proven the only way the democratic party, when in power, has been able to meet the ex travagant appropriations made by them for the ordinary running ex penses of the government, was by the sale of bonds. A bond issue is in evitable whether a national defense program in undertaken or not. In two years the democratic admin istration has passed scores of worth less laws. The insertion of meaning less phrases in statutes, the constant violation of the simplest legislative rules, have brought about more cost ly and needless federal litigation than we have ever known before. “In two years the democratic ad ministration has created an enormous deficit in our treasury, and has not ad vanced a single plan for meeting it. The proposed reenactment of the sugar duty and the ‘war tax’ law only retains present revenues. Bond 1 issues are nothing but loans that must be paid for in the future. “The democratic party has not a policy in its platform, a law to its credit, nor a plan to propose, that will meet the financial crisis inevitably imposed by the national defense pro gram. “A return of the republican party to power seems to me not only a na tional necessity but a foregone con clusion.” The early Christian philosophers frequently used the Latin phrase, “Memento mori,” meaning by that to warn sinners of the approach of the The world moves on; Latin becomes a dead language; ragtime dominates our amusements and physicians of the bodytell us to forget the admonitions of former spiritual advisers and “Re member life. “What is death,” they ask,” except the end of things in which everyone else is more concerned than ourselves, even though we are the principle actor therein? Dr. Woods Hutchinson, president-elect of the American Academy of Medicine, says that over-eating is the chief trou ble of the American people. He warns us to remember the correct way to live is to be temperate in all things, especially in eating, driving home the fact that “It doesn’t matter in the least how fast we dig our own graves, so long as we do not fall into them too previously.” All of which brings us to the fact, physicians are con tinually showing, that the American people die before their time because they are intemperate—not in drinking, as the prohibitionists would have us [believe—but in overworking and over eating and overliving. The sight of a drunken man, even in the great cit ies, is comparatively rare. Few sa loons, nowadays, will sell a drunken man. But go into a restaurant and watch people overeat. Note the fat paunches, the hanging jowls, the dead eyes, the gouty walks of those you pass, and you will not be astonished at the physicians’ statements. Tem perance is moderate indulgence. It is just as bad morally to overeat as it is to overdrink. In our fight for tem perance in drinking, we must not overlook that other greater evil—over eating. Remember li/e! The hardest housekeeping in the world is the housekeeping that people do for their neighbors. Half the trou bles we have are caused by worrying about what people think. What dif ference does it make what they think, anyway? No one can live his own life and two or three other people's besides. What's the use of setting up housekeeping on the roof or on the outside walls for the benefit of the neighbors? You would rightly be judged insane if you suggested any thing of the kind, and that is prac tically what half the people do. They can’t do this because the neighbors would talk, and they can’t do that because the neighobrs wonder if they could not afford to do something else. They may not say it in so many words, but they mean it, and it is simply a great big vacuum in some of our na tures where moral courage ought to i be. Half the sting of poverty or small! means is gone when one keeps house J for himself and not for his neighbors. All other explanations having been swept into the discard, a New York medical journal now asserts that “brain fag” is the cause of the war. But, of course, charity to the afflicted prevents on our commenting on the poor old fagged out brain that puts forth this latest bid for newspaper notoriety. Have you noticed the little picture and poem that is printed in The Northwestern every week, “The Cheerful Cherub?” Sometimes his quaint sayings may fit your case ex actly. and if you have the blues “The Cherub” may say something that will make you forget all about it. When a half-baked gink wants to get a little cheap notoriety he imme diately announces his candidacy for some exalted office, and later contents himself with humbly licking the plate from which some better man has eaten. If the titled artistocrats who are working in factories through national necessity will keep right on working after the war through self-respect, then the horrors of this strife will not have beenentirely in vain. Resta drove a car 102 miles an hour and won $10,000 by this stunt. But that’s no sign he has the nerve to straddle the hurricane deck of a bucking broncho or the brains to edit a country newspaper. Our spiritual advisers tell us that every human being is put on this earth for some definite purpose, but hanged if we can find any possible ex cuse for the bloke who is too lazy to work. This beatuiful fall weather could be appreciated a great deal more if our streets were sprinkled. The wind is not so bad, but the dust is something awful. What do you think about it? Loup City showed itself to be very progressive some time ago when it voted strong for the new court house. Wonder if the will show the same colors at the polls on November 9? THE FESTIVE FARMER. “Farm life is an ideal life,’” says Zim, in Cartoons magazine, especially in the story books and upon the theater stage. The farmer is his own boss and monarch of all the acres that are not plastered with mortgages. He arises with the little birds, hits up the hard cider in the cellar, then hies him thither to toy with the cattle, for milking at four A. M. is one of the joys of farm life. From the milking stool he wends his way to the wood pile and gleefully chops up a cord or two before the breakfast call. When the morning meal is over his real life begins. Blended with the buzz of rusty machinery, song and profanity, the remaining eighteen hours are whiled away. When the farm be comes so impoverished that it will | raise nothing but chin whiskers, he J lets the mortgage holder do his i worst.” Public Sale of Land At Loup City, Nebraska, by Referee By order of the District Court of Sherman county, Ne braska, I will sell at public auction at the south door of the Court House, at Loup City, Nebr., at 2 p. m., on Monday, November 15, 1915 160 Acres of Land Described as follows: The Northeast one-fourth of Section Twenty-nine, (29), Township Fifteen (15), North, Range Thir teen, (13), West of the 6th P.
