THE OFFICE HOLDER.
People are doing quite a little talk
ing and reasoning on political topics
these days, and they will continue
to buzz around until after the year’s
elections have become history. Then
they will promptly forget all about it
and the people they have placed in
office will proceed to do as they please
throughout the terms, and there are
times when what pleases the office
holder is anything but pleasing to the
men who put him there.
Right there, Mr. Voter, is where we
make a very great mistake. We should
keep right after the office holder with
as much persistency after election as
he employed in pestering us for our
votes before election.
We should talk things over among
ourselves, and decide what we need,
and what is best for our collective wel
fare, and then we should hang onto the
office holder like a hungry dog grips
a bone until he gets what we want or
it is shown not to be within the bounds
of possibility.
If the official goes to veering off on
some fool course it should be up to
us to tell him in pointed terms to
veer back again and travel the road
that we select for him.
He may be governor, or congress
man, or sheriff, or township official,
all of which looks and sounds big to
those who like it. But we are the peo
ple and we are a whole lot bigger
than all of the governors, and con
gressman and other officials combined.
Officials are merely the hired ser
vants of the people who place them in
office and who pay them their salaries,
and their duties are to obey the will
of their masters.
Keep right on talking politics, and
discussing men and conditions, and
pointing out the needs and require
ments of the people of our section of
the state. And don’t be afraid to let
our public servants hear you talk, for
the more you talk the closer they will
listen, and that will all lead to results
favorable to us as a people and as a
community.
After we have talked people into
office we should continue right along
and talk them into doing the right
thing after they get there. If any of
fice holder doesn’t like our brand of
talk then we are justified in assum
ing that we have made a mistake in
placing him there. Sane discussion
of conditions, and people, and events
is good for this comunity, ,for it serves
two distinct and wholesale purposes.
It brings forcibly to the fore those
things that are best for us, and it lets
our officials know that we are keeping
both eyes on them with a view to see
ing that they perform their duties as
expressed by our will in a manner ac
cepable to us.
Every day should be campaign time
in this community.
UNCLE SAM’S PREDICAMENT.
From the Lincoln Trade Review:
One of the interesting news features
of the week and at the same time an
announcement feature, carrying a cer
tain amount of humiliation, is the
statement from Washington that the
question of printing currency and
postage stamps is at an accute stage,
because of the fact that the govern
ment is unable to secure the coloring
matter from Germany, used in printing
stamps and currency.
It is astonishing that this great na
tion, with all its high development in
manufacturing supposedly the best
products in the world, should be at
mercy of some foreign government for
the necessary coloring matter to print
its money and its postage through the
use of which the mails of this country
circulate.
It would seem that with the long
years of protecting American indus
tries, that the government would have
seen to it that at least it had the abil
ity and the means in this land to make
such an important product as this
without being dependent upon a for
eign nation for the means of printing
currency and postage.
No one doubts but that if it had been
given attention, this country could
produce as satisfactory coloring
matter for this work as any other na
tion. In fact, since the supplies of
common dye stuffs have been cut off
on account of the war, manufacturers
along chemical lines have shown their
ability to produce just as good dye
stuffs here as Europe produces, the
only hindrance being lack of time to
put plants in operation.
One of the results of high protec
tion in the past has been that manu
facturing in many lines has been made
so profitable that some of the most
important lines, although small In
amount required, haye been utterly
neglected and so this country finds it
self now, after years of protection,
with no industry established here that
can fill orders for so important work
as the coloring matter for the printing
of currency.
One of the good results, and there
will be a few good results that will
come from the war, will be the open
ing of the eyes of the people of this
country to the wisdom of being pre
pared to take care of itself along every
line of special manufactured products
required in the future.
One of the best means of assuring
results of this kind will come from a
permanent tariff commission.
February 21 to 26, inclusive, will be
pay-up week all over this country, and
every citizen is presumed to walk in
to his creditors and square up his ac
counts. The good ciitizen will do this
if it is within the bounds of reasonable
possibility. The man who fails to
square up because he doesn't care is
not worthy of further credit and
should not receive it. Business men
are not allowed by their creditors to
wait until Febr. 21 or 26. They must
forward their checks every thirty days
or their credit is shut off. It therefore
becomes a great hardship to the busi
ness men when he is compelled to pay
his own bills promptly and yet is re
quired to carry the accounts of hun
dreds of people for indefinite periods.
We have a lot of faith in our people
and we believe they will walk right up
and square their little accounts be
tween the 21st and the 26th, and we
don’t for one minute think they will
forget the editor in their rounds. We
have faith that this will be one time
when they will not forget to think.
Uncle Sam tried to caulk up his
money box the week ending January
22, with a wisp of customs revenues
amounting to $3,565,000, combed from
$42,661,382 worth of imports which
entered the 13 principal customs dis
tricts of the country for the week.
He worked hard at the job, and there
wasn’t enough revenue to go around.
When he knocked off Saturday night
and went home to supper, he found
the price of ‘vituals’ was still on the
rise. The imports for the week marked
a new high record under the demo
cratic tariff law.
————^—s^——
An old friend of ours dropped in the
other day and was discussing the Me
Adoo method of book-keping in the
federal treasury. “It reminds me,” he
said, “of a butcher whom I knew in my
boyhood. A woman was buying some
liver and the butcher reckoned the
account like this: ‘Eight pounds at
eight cents a pound. Eight pounds is
eighty-eight. Take it for eighty cents,
ma’am.”
Of course we are all subject to cer
tain lapses of memory, but there is
one subject close to hearts which
should never be lost sight of for one
single moment. That is good roads—
better roads for this community. Think
it over—talk it over—push it along
with every breath of life. We want
better country roads.

Mr. Knocker, put up your little
hammer, put on your glad rags, and a
smile and “Flop out to meetin.”
NEW OFFICERS FOR UNITY CLUB.
The Woman’s Unity club held their
annual election of officers at the home
of Mrs. John Leininger last Thurs
day afternoon. President, Mrs. At S.
Main, vice president, Mrs. John Lein
inger, secretary and treasurer, Miss
Mable Hansen; Cor. secretary, Mrs.
C. J. Tracy; treasurer. Mrs. E. B.
Corning; press correspondent, Mrs. J.
H. Burwell.
The club usually has several lines
of work that they are assisting to a
foothold. The chairman of the liter
ary committeee reports a favorable
outlook. She has written several
letters, to the state librarian, Miss
Templeton, who has sent directions
for work, reports and encouragement
in reply. In one report she says that
Nebraska has about ninety-eight
cities of 1,000 or more population, of
these only seventeen are without a
public library. The club ladies feel
that there is no good reason for Loup
City to remain on this black list.

Union Stock Yards, South Omaha,
Feb. 8.—Demand from dressed beef
men was pretty good and as there
was considerable inquiry for shipping
account salesmen were able to get
pretty close to steady figures for any
thing good enough to invite competi
tion, while on the less desirable
grades prices ruled pretty close to a
dime lower and business on this elass
of cattle was a little slow. Cows and
heifers had pretty much the same ex
perience as fat cattle, prices ranging
from steady to a dime lower than
Friday. Desirable Stockers and feed
ers were wanted at fully steady fig
ures, while the general run of feed
ers were slow and about a dime low
er than the close of last week.

NEBRASKA IDEAL LOCATION
FORJILITABY BASE
In these days of agitation of mili
tary preparedness Nebraska deserves
more than ordinary consideration as
an ideal location for a munition plant
and a base of supplies of grains,
metals, lumber and other military re
quisites.
Military authorities acknowledge
the necessity of scattering munition
plants throughout the country in
stead of mobilizing them on the At
lantic Coast. In selecting locations
for these plants the foremost factor
under consideration is accessibility
to raw materials as well as rail facili
ties, over which the supplies may be
transported and placed at any point
af vantage, particularly on the Pacific
Coast.
The geographical center of the
United States is in Nebraska and the
War Department has recognized the
importance of its location by estab
lishing and maintaining two military
posts, Forts Omaha and Crook.
In case of invasion Omaha would
be the last city the enemy could reach
even should the Coast defenses of
both the Atlantic and Pacific be cap
tured. Nebraska is practically self
supporting as far as its agricultural,
live stock and manufactured products
are concerned. In the selection of a
location for a central munition plant
the government is considering both
Salt Lake City and Denver in addition
to Omaha.
The Union Pacific Railroad claims
distinction of being the greatest de
fensive factor next to the navy and
the Panama Canal should any inter
national complication arise that would ,
Jeopardize the safety of American
lives and property particularly by
way of the Pacific Coast.
This railroad is carrying on a pub
licity campaign with the end in view
of influencing the citizens of Nebras
ka to demand recognition as the most
favorable location for a munition
plant and military base, and in this
task deserves encouragement of
every Nebraskan.
The man of millions is the one who
will profit most by our new policy of
preparedness. Hence the man of mil
lions is the one who should congh up
liveliest in the matter of paying the
freight. Tax the big incomes—and
collect the taxes.
