Washington, June 14 (Special Cor respondence)—The plans for raising the enormous sums of money required to make up for the democratic de ficit and to provide for the necessary plans for national defence are not yet wholly matured. The democratic leaders in congress must wait until the full measure of their party's por cine folly has been taken—and then, under cover of a plea for prepared ness they will formulate the taxation bills. But one thing they already seen de termined upon. They intend to try force through a national inheritance tax. Thus far, the inheritance tax has been regarded peculiarly and justly as something belonging to the indi vidual states— and many states have made use of it to their great benefit. If now the federal government is to invade this field of taxation in the states, it will be necessary for tho legislatures of next winter to look around for something to take its place — because to retain this form of tax a ion in the states at the same time that it is put into operation as a national measure would mean double taxation—which is in itself unconsti tutional in several states and which is repugnant to a sense of fair play in any event. The proposal, however, illustrates again the straits of the democratic party in its management of national finance and the rapacity of the leaders in congress who struck down a protective tariff which at one and the same time secured to our own people the markets of our own land and ‘sent a golden stream of revenue into the national treasury.” The democratic tariff has robbed the American workman of hid home mark et and has deprived the treasury of the money which is so sorely needed. To make up for the deficit and to en able a democrat congress to continue appropriating money for all sorts of purposes, it is now proposed to In vade the taxing field of the states and leave the latter organizations to get out of the trouble as best they may. There are probably enough mem bers of congress from states which employ the inheritance tax for them selves to defeat the project—but no one can tell what a democratic con gressman will do when confronted by a situation like this. It may bo that the plan will carry. If so, it will be another in the long list of things which the incoming republican ad ministration and congress will have to rectify. THE FARMER AGAINST FREE TRADE. The injury suffered by American farmers under the democratic tariff, and the beneficial effects of the war, were commented upon recently by Representative Andrew J. Voljstead of Minnesota, who said in part: “The chief appeal for public favor made by the party now in power was based upon its promise to reduce the cost of living. The slogan of its lead ers has been free food products, which means free farm products. It set out to carry this policy into effect by passing the Canadian reciprocity treaty act, which offers to Canada a chance to sell all its farm product jin our markets without paying any tariff while it retains a tariff upon nearly everything the farmer must . buy, and since then it has passed the j Underwood tariff act, which is based j upon the same idea. Throughout, these acts discriminate very unfairly in favor of the cities and against til • I farmers. As prosperity or failure d' ! pends upon whether the American farmer can obtain a fair market for j his product, it is not necessary to argue that this is a discrimination that can not be offset by passing law aimed to increase production by com bating the chinch bug. suggesting re medies against smut, or the like, a long as the European war lasts, the ! Canadian reciprocity treaty, or the Underwood tariff, may not seriously affect us, but we all hope that this j war will soon end, when the effect of these discriminations will become ap I Spend This Summer’s / F SCHMOLLER & MUELLER i Quality Pianos and Player Pianos I I Now offered and sold direct from ■ Factory to Home.

The choice o£ Charles Evans Hughes by the republican convention as candi date for president of the United States had been so convincingly fore shadowed that no surprise is felt at the outcome. From the time his name was suggested the drift of sentiment toward him was steady, and in the final weeks before the meeting of the convention it was irresistible. None of the aspirants for the office was able to make any appreciable headway against the continually growing de mand of the party for Hughes. While the nominee at no time took any ac tion that might be construed as even remotely seeking the office, he would be more than human were he not sensible of the expresion of faith in his character and confidence in his ability shown by the request from his fellow citizens that he become a candidate for the presidency. The final ballot in the convention set its seal of full approval on the choice of the voters. Mr. Hughes will go before the elec troate with a record of service that is notable. As a member of the New York legislature, and as governor of New York, he was energetic in the work of bettering the government of the Emipre state, and showed then un tiring zeal and energy and splendid capacity for dealing with public af fairs. His years on the supreme bench have served to ripen his intellect and mature his judgment and to more ful ly prepare him for the great work that is before him. His unblemished character and unusual mentality will qualify him in every regard as an ideal candidate for president. His personality will appeal not alone to the republicans, who will be solid behind him, but to democrats who are weary of the mistakes and bickerings of their incapable leaders, and to the far greater proportion of the progressives, who have found that the chief difference between their party and the republican party is in an individual and not in principles. Hughes’ election now seems as cer tain as did his nomination at the be ginning of last week. It only waits the fullness of time.—Bee. --— the churches. Methodist. Next Sunday at 10:30 o’clock a. m„ a sermon will be preached to the 1. O. O. P. and Ilebeckah lodges. 8:00 o’clock p. m., regular services.

The pastor will preach Sunday morning at 10:30 o’clock from the sub ject: “Ephriam and His Idols." and Sunday evening at 8:00 o’clock from the subject: “Seeking Help from the Wrong Source.” We will have an innovation in our music at both of these services. In the morning we will have a solo, “Just for Today” by Christina Miller, reproduced on one of the New Edison phonographs. In the evening we will have a cho rus of young ladies to lead the sing ing and also furnish some special numbers. A cordial invitation to all. It is true, nevertheless, that a fool can get down on his knees in the street, paw up the dirt, and every wise man in sight will rush over to see what’s in the wind. A LOUP CITY WOMAN’S EX PERIENCE. Can you doubt the evidence of this Loup City woman? You can verify Loup City endorse ment. Read this: Mrs. Viola Odendahl, proprietor of The Fredercik Hotel, Loup City, says: “I think Doan’s Kidney Pills are well worthy of praise as a kidney medicine I have used them only on two occa sions and they have brought the best of results. I used to be troubled by my kidneys and at times my feet and ankles swelled up. I also had occa sional attacks of backache. I used Doan’s Kidney Pills, which I got at Swanson’s Drug Store, and I' became better. I have had no necessity to use any kindney medicine of late.” Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills— the same that Mrs. Odendahl had. Foster-Milburn Do., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. A. 4 —4 THE FLAG'S BIRTHDAY. In the shadows of the scepter, In the gloom of doubts and fears, In the gray uncertain morning Of the fateful coming years. The flag came into being, Found its stripes of red and white In the blood of sons and fathers And the purity of right; Took its field of blue from heaven. Gemmed it with the stars that shone As beacons guiding Freedom From the terrors of a throne. Gone today are all the shadows. Gone are all the doubts and fears, And the Starry Banner Triumphs At the forefront of the years; In the vanguard of the nations, With its gleaming folds unfurled. Into higher paths of progress It has led, and leads, the world; It stands today for something That no other flag can claim. And the freedom of the future Is established in its name; Going out unto all peoples With its promise and good cheer, Old Glory gives new glory To the far as to the near; The patriots give their spirit To the flag that led them through The wilderness to glory. And their banner still is true. Hurrah, then, for the birthday Of the flag that is not furled, And may its celebration Extend around the world; And may all men and nations Know the stripes and stars to be The gospel of salvation And the emblem of the free. —William J. Lampton “FIGHTING FOR FRANCE.” “Fighting for France,” the greatest war film yet produced, and the only one to show the allies’ side of the Eu ropean conflict, will be presented at the Opera House, Saturday, June 17. These pictures, which have been the sensation of New York, Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, were authorized by the governments of France, Italy, Russia, Serbia and England. Allies Shown Under Fire. From the Vosges to the Dardanelles and even into Russia and Italy, have the camera men gone for their pic tures under the most dangerous cir cumstances. The fighting sons of England and France are shown under fire in the trenches and at play. The wonderful Italian sharpshooters are seen in action and the Moroccan troops, the daredevils of the French contingent, have been caught by the camera in one of their most note worthy charges. Many prominent fi gures in the conflict were photo graphed on or near the field of action. There are King George of England and the Prince of Wales. King Albert of Belgium is shown in consultation with General Joffre and President Poincare of France. The French and English ships bom barding the Dardanelles and the de struction of Turkish forts and ships in this film will provoke enthusiasm for the wonderful results obtained by the photographer. At the Opera House at 7:30 and 9:00 o’clock in the evening. These pictures will also be shown in the afternoon at 3:30 o’clock Saturday, June 17. Tlie democratic piauorm oi ue clared it to be the determination of the democratic party not to injure any legitimate American industry. Dur ing the first year of the democratic tariff law our imports of merchandise and agricultural products were nearly $165,000,000 greater than during the last year of the republican tariif. Does any thoughtful business man, or any intelligent laboring man believe for a moment that you can take $165, 000.000 of good American money and send it abroad to buy foreign-made goods, and not injure the industries of this country?
