POLITICAL G08SIP FROM WASH
INGTON.
Washington. May 4 1 Special Cor
respondence ) "Farmers all over this
country are considerably stirred .tp
over rural credits legislation," said a
southern member of congress. "The
idea has come to be quite prevalent
that, the administration has ‘cold
feet' on the rural credits proposition
and that the proposed bill, which has
the hacking of the president, is merely
makeshift and not. what, the farmers of
the country want. My mall Is filled
with protests from farmers, and other
members tell me the name thing. It is
being quietly whispered about, that the
administration, which two years ago
was in favor of rural credits, has
grown lukewarm on the subject. The
farmers throughout the country are
not to he fooled and they are giving
the men who are back of this rural
credits proposition some anxious mo
ments. It Is stated about the capitol
that the plan was to pans a rural
credits bill just previous to adjoutn
merit at. this session, which falls far
short of the demands of the farmers
of the country. I think It Is a mighty
good thing the farmers are 'smoking
the president out' on this proposition.”
"I have aerveu in many congreatteK,
but J muat aay that thla aeaalon of the
<Hth baa accompliahed about an little
aa any In the hlatory of the govern
ment,” aaltl a middle-weal democrat It:
member. "Here we have been In nes
Hion nearly live monthn anti practically
nothing haa been done. None of the
great tiueatloim confronting uh haa
been aolved or met and there la no ltd I
Ing when they will be. Hero our re
vnnuea are falling behind appulllngly
and yet nothing la being done to re
plentah them. The democratic party
cannot, continue thin do-nothing policy
and expect to get away with It. Our
party ieadera aeem all at aea and are
not pulling together In iiiiIhoii or bar
niony. Thla congreaa must wake tip
pretty anon anti do aomething or a
good many of uh will not be here after
thla aeHHlon."
"The trimming the Ilryan rurally got
In Nebraska In tho recent primaries,
shows that the once peerless leafier Is
slipping badly,” said a western demo
cratlc member.. "Tho truth Ih that
the people have got tired of the dicta
Hon of Ilryan. Any man in any party
who assumes to do all of the thinking
for the party and who taken on him
self tho prerogative of settling all
public (juestlnns. Is riding to a fall.
When you get right down to brass
lacks, the American people do their
own thinking, and they have never
yet failed to rebuke the men who
thought for a fleeting moment they
ruled the universe."
A recent visitor at the capitol was
National Committeeman V. L. High
land, of West Virginia. He was most
|optimistic as to th«- republican situa
Mon In his state. He said that there
is already great Interest manifested
in the primaries to choose delegates to
the coming national republic an con
vention. They will be held on May
4th. H pea king of the political outlook
in West Virginia, he said: "There is
no question as to the way our' state
will go In the general election. We
shall carry West Virginia for the na
tional and state tickets and elet t a:>
almost entire republican delegation to
the next congress.
"i t an tell you the administration is
‘sweating’ some on this Mexican pro
position," said a democratic <ongr>- .
man from one of the border state
"President Wilson has at la t dis
covered that, when h<- Joined hand*,
with Carranza he got hold of a red
hot poker. He is trying to let loose
now and he cannot. I arn pretty well
satisfied that he Is looking for a chance
lo hack out of Mexico and get the
American troops away. 1 am not a
good democrat, but let me say one
thing. If the administration pulls the
troops out of Mexico after all this ado
and after what has happened down
there, then In my oplnino, you can
sing the ‘swan song' for our party.
We will he hurled beneath the Votes
of the American people and we ought
to be."
THE EXPECTED HA9 HAPPENED.
The Issuing of bonds in time of
peace for the purpose of paying gov
ernmental expenses Is purely a demo
cratic procedure. Cleveland did I*;
and now Wilson will do it.
The army hill which has just passed
the senate contains a provision for
he expenditure of fifteen million do!
lars for the establishment of water
power plants for the manufacture of
nitrates to he used in the production
<f munitions and for fertilizers. The
money is to lie procured by the issu
ance and sale of that sum In Canal
bonds.
The canal, it will be remembered,
was constructed at a cost running into
he hundreds of millions and was paid
for, largely, out of the current receip's
of the treasury as provided iri the v,l e
revenue laws for which the repuhli
can party stood sponsor. In effect,
we republicans built the canal out the
small change In the nation's purse.
Ifut, the democrats, to find fifteen
millions, have to issue bonds. A bond
issue was confidently predicted as
one of the certain results of a demo
cratic administration and, sure enough
it is to occur. It is tlie happening of
the expected.
All explorer in South America has
discovered the remnants of the well
nigh extinct tribe of the I’lkipltanges,
consisting of a chief, Hix women and
• wo boys. They will be joined, early
in November, by the remnants of the
democratic party in the United States.
The man behind the gun is cutting
n big Hwntli in Europe Just now, but.
the lad behind the plow keeps right
on witii Ids forward movement in the
U. S. A.
If war comes some men will tight
from choice, a few from necessity, and
the majority will let the other fellows
do their lighting.
POLITICAL CHATTER.
From Apr;! 1 to April 11, the "free
' < a; i," In the treasury decreased, even
J according to M' Adoo’a fanciful form
of statement. $3,371,517. Small won
der that the democrat* in the senate,
when voting fifteen million; for a ni
trate plant, provided for an issue of
Panama Faria) bonds to meet the cost
of the Hem.
The Bryan family seems to be near
ing the end of its road in Nebraska
politics. Brother Charlie was denied
the nomination for governor which he
wanted from the democrats and
Brother Bill turned up as tail-ender
on the ticket ftor delegates to the fit.
Louis convention. And. as a means
of nibbing it. in, Henry Ford, who
stands for the Bryan policy in pa* I
li ;m. was a drawing card iri the repuo
iicari primaries held at the same time.
Two polite ai sensations that were
sprung iri the State of I'tah lately
have brought consternation to the
demo< rates. Mr. X. L. Morris, a dele
gate to the progressive state conven
tion, startled the delegates with the
statement that so far as fundamental
I principles were concerned, the repub
' I leans and progressives stood on con
moo ground. He returned to the re
publican camp and was accompanied
' by many other members of the pro
gressive party. He was elected a dele
gate to the republican judicial conven
tion. in which he participated.
_
The other sensation was the an
nouncement of former State Senator
Bamberger, a life long democrat, that
! he is not only opposed to the removal
of the larilT on sugar but recognizes
! the need rtf a tariff "on more things
j than one to protect the farmers, manu
facturers, and workingmen of this
country.” Senator Bambeyger is a
prominent business man in l.'tah, and
was assured of the democratic nomina
tion for the United Statets senate if
he would accept it. He declined, evi
dently because he was no longer in
sympathy ith the policy of his party.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas the Mayor and City Council
upon an inspection of the streets and
alleys of Loup City, find that many of
our respected citizens have been
dumping refuse, ashes, manure and
other unsanitary substances into the
streets and alleys of this city, con
trary to the public health and laws.
Therefore relying upon the public
spirit of its said citizens and that they
will co-operate in an endeavor to help
clean up and beautify the city, the
council lias heretofore designated
May 10th. 1916, as annual clean up
day/ and requests that all those wrho
have dumped such refuse upon the
alleys or streets of this city, remove
same on said date, and also clean up
all yards and plots of ground from
unsightly or unsanitary matter.
The citizens are further requested
to entirely refrain from the dumping
of any refuse of any nature whatever
into any street or alley hereafter, the
same being contrary to the law and a
public nuisance.
In case this proclamation is not
complied with and such refuse re
moved from said streets and alleys
not later than by May 15th, 1916.
the city authorities will then take
steps to remove such refuse from said
streets and alleys and assess the ex
pense thereof, together with proper
legal penalty, against those who have
violated said laws.
The mayor and council rely upon
the friendly co-operation of the citi
zens in thus cleaning up the city.
R. H. MATHEW, Mayor.
The Disosour was a prehistoric ani
mal of great size that was weighted
down by its own hide of armor. The
advocates of a tremendous standing
army have been likened to it. The
Dodo is a bird that can't fight, can't
fly, can’t run, can't protect its own or
itself. The name of Dodo has been
hung onto people who want no army,
who do not believe in preparedness
of any nature, who would turn the
other check and take another whack.
Both extremes appear to us to be even
more than unwise. They appear to
be even foolish, the one inviting ar
rogance and the other courting promrt
disaster. Far better would it .he to
'ia\ e a navy capable of protecting the
vulnerable points of our coast, an
t tny of 200.000 or 25(1.000, and a Na
ii nal Guard in the different states ex
panded !o approximately a million
r.en under federal supervision and re
moved from political interference or
Relation. Such a course would prac
tically insure immunity from foreign
invasion, or at least the ability to
wage a successful war in the event
of attack, and at the same time would
keep the expense of maintaining otir'
armed forces down to the minimum, j
Scalds, Galls, Scratches, Sores, Hurts,;
Screw Worms.
To make the best cure for such I
troubles, buy a pint of linseed oil.
If you prefer a healing oil, or a pound
of hog lard or vaseline if you want a
salve aud add a 50 cent bottle of
Farris Healing Remedy. It simply
can’t be beat by any salve or liniment
made. And see what you get—a full,
pint for not over GO cents. Farris
Healing Remedy is sold by us on the
Money Back Plan.—J. J. Slominski.

Horse Sense.
A horse that refrains from eating
is using the horse sense method of
curing itself of some intestinal
trouble. Nature sometimes fails, so
take no chances but go to the aid of
nature as soon as you see something
wrong with your horse and give it a
dose or two of B. A. Thomas Stock
Remedy. If it does not respond at
once, this medicine costs you nothing
and its just as sure with cows or
sheep. We give you your money
back.—J. J. Slomtnaki.
