(Special cor respondence.)--After two weeks of vir tually “marking time” congress has got once more down to business and started off on what looks like a long drawn out period of legislation. No body on either side of the chamber, or at either end of the capitol can be found who thinks the session will end before the middle of August. Most of the predictions are about the first of September. Democrats admit that the long continued deliberations of con gress are absolutely due to the fact that the lawmakers are sitting here during the hot weather waiting for the president to mature his legislative program. There is much feeling and bitter ness among members of the house over the “gag rule” that was applied on the passage of the naval bill. It was rammed through the House at the behest of the administration, and 400 members of that body were powerless to offer any amendments, however meritorious. Under the “gag rule” adopted, only members of the com mittee were allowed to offer amend ments. Even debate was shut off to a great extent and the steam roller wan never used more effectively. The administration was so fearful it could not get the bill through before the republican convention, that it took no chances and one of the most drastic rules in the history of congress was passed in order to do the trick. Republicans are greatly elated over the attempts of the democrats to “get something" on Justice Hughes. Their campaign up to date has been dignified thus far by attacks on hi3 whiskers and his judicial position. It is little wonder that the president has frowned on these methods. It mere ly shows the dilemma that the demo crats are in and that when it comes to criticising the republican candi date they have been compelled to re sort to things and to methods so silly as to savor of the kindergarten. Representative Loren E. Wheeler, of jthe twenty-first Illinois district, came back from the Chicago conven tion, mofit enthusiastic over the re publican outlook. Speaking of the sit uation he said: “I never met at one time so many people from my district and state as I did at Chicago, and the few days following the convention. I found everybody enthusiastic. Two thirds of the progressives of our state have already returned to the republi can fold. Many independents who voted for Wilson two years ago will align themselves with our party. We will carry Illinois by more than 100, 000 plurality. Hughes and Fairbanks will be elceted and the House will be overwhelmingly republican.” “Coming back from the Chicago convention, I got off the train and talked with a number of railroad men in three different cities relative to our ticket,” said a republican member of congress. "Every one of the men 1 talked with said they were going to vote for Hughes and Fairbanks. They stated the ticket suited them perfect ly and that it would receive the votes of the laboring men of the country generally.’ Two well known democrats of the House were conversing a few days since as to the political outlook in the country. Both were talking very eai nestly and seriously. One was over heard to say to the other: “Any vis ions we may have had of a walkover have been dispelled. The republicans have nominated the strongest ticket that could have been named and I confess 1 am fearful of the outcome. We are up against a mighty serious proposition.” OUR DUTY IN MEXICO. It is inconceivable that any true American could want war for war's sake. We are not that kind of people, and our interests do not lie in thai direction. But we are confronted with a situation in Mexico which is calculated to exhaust the patience o' any person with an ounce of red blood in his veins. It is time for us to stop quibbiiu and do some real acting. Our states bordering upon Mexico are raided with immunity by the out laws and cutthroats who infest the northern section of that country. Our I citizens /are murdered or outraged and their property stolen or destroyed. jThe defacto government of Mexico i not only powerless to prevent these | forays, but we have every reason for the belief that the authorities are making no effort whatever to check them. Every American city or town on the border is in constant danger of in vasion by the bandit followers of th<> ; Mexican leaders. No home is saf ■ from the dfistroyer, no feminine heart ; is ever devoid of the constantly in creasing fear of the brutal ravisher. Under these conditions the duty of the United States is clear. The citizens of our border state are our own people, they are our own j flesh and blood, and their interests (are our interests. They are entitled | to the protection of the whole nation, and as a nation it is our duty to af ford them that protection. | The government of Mexico will do 1 nothing. It therefore is up to us to do something. We have waited for five years for the restoration of law and order in Mexico, and conditions are infinitely worse today than they ever were tie BRING YOUR GRAIN TO THE Loup City Mill & Light Co.

The future holds out no hope) of anything but unlimited and un-l bridled brigandage, an impossible con dition for this country to longer toler ate because of the constant menace to our own people and to our own interets. A sufficient force of American troops should be sent into northern Mexico to restore normal conditions throughout that whole region, and an other force should be sent to the bor der to afford ample protection to the people of those states. President Wilson has called out the entire National Guard, numbering 146,000 men, for service on the bor der and if they are not enough for the service required, then volunteer regi ments should be raised to supply his every demand. And if the Mexican government and the Mexican people do not like such action, and offer any united opposition to the cleaning up of this territory, then then a great volunteer army of half a million or even a million men should be spread over that country like a blanket, and not a man should be withdrawn until every bandid has been hung or driven from the coun try, law and order restored, a stable government established, and the Mexi can people themselves demonstrate their ability to govern themselves in a manner acceptable to other nations. We do not covet a foot of Mexican territory. We do not want any trou ble with Mexico if it can be honor ably avoided. But conditions in that republic have reached the state where but American bayonets and shot and shell will be of the slightest avail. They should get it w’ithout an un necessary delay. And they should get it in such quantities and with such force as to forever breed a wholesome respect and fear in the heart of every Mexican for the power and might and justice of the United States. That is our opinion as an Ameri can citizen who loves and is loyal to his country. SOME GOOD SUGGESTIONS. Every paper you read nowadays tells about automobile accidents and the editorial columns of the papers are filled with comments on the situ ation and suggestions for making the roads more safe. Many of the sug gestions are good and if followed would reduce accidents but the only sure way to get rid of excessive speed ing is to make it unlawful for anyone to sell or own a car that will travel faster than a given rate of speed. And this rate should be low enough to be safe. The state has power to limit the use of deadly weapons, booze and other things that are harm ful. The automobile as now used is a dangerous agency and should be regulated the same as anything else that menaces the lives of the public. Such action as this would be a hard ship on the careful drivers but it often happens that many must put up with inconveniences for the bene fit of the few. A system of licensing drivers after careful examination, and of fines and imprisonment for reck lessness would go a long way towards doing away with accidents but if the speed of cars was mechanically lim ited there would be no temptation to violate the law.—Newman Grove Re porter. VERY WEAK CRITICISMS. Much criticism has been offered against Justice Hughes because the republican party selceted him to head their ticket this fall while he was yet a member of the supreme court. In 1904 the democratis party chose A1 ton B. Parker while he was chief jus tice of the court of appeals of New York. Representative Mann has re plied to the criticisms of the demo crats by quoting as follows from Champ Clark's notification to Judge Parker of his nomination: "Your long and conspicuous career as a jur ist in one of the highest courts in the world, the period which you have spent in expounding the constitution and statutes, causes your countrymen to believe that into that more exal ted position to which they are about to call you you will carry with you that profound respect for the con stitution and the laws which with you has become a confirmed mental habit and upon which depends the per petuity of our system of government, the best ever devised by the wit of man.”—Beatrice Express. RESULTS TELL. There can be no doubt about the re sults in Loup City. Results tell the tale. All doubt is removed. The testimony of a Loup City citi zen Can be easily investigated. What better proof can be had? Nelson Smith, Loup City, says: "I have found Doane’s Kidney Pills to give very good satisfaction and re commend them to anyone suffering from their kidneys. I used them for backache and they relieved me at once. 1 know Doane's Kidney Pills can be depended upon for such ail ments or otherwise I wouldn’t give my name as a reference.” Price 50 cents at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doane’s Kidney Pills—the same .that Mr. Smith had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. NEBRASKA SOLDIER BOYS.

By S. R. McKelvie. Somehow I have never been able to content myself with the belief that to merely attain the goal is to win. Public opinion, sitting as the everlast ing jury, seems to place more em phasis upon the method than the re suit. So in all my undertakings I have felt that to “make good” is more important than to cross the tape ahead; and the consciousness of hav ing done one’s honest best is ample compensation for every effort. 240 POUND PIGS. With corn above 50 cents hogs eat their heads off very quickly. The hog that takes two or three months to get on full feed never brings you a profit. When you are ready to put your shoats on feed, begin with the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine. Use regularly and watch your shoats round out into fat hogs in nine months—hogs going well over 200 pounds and as high as 240 pounds. Figure the av erage feeding and you will see why the B. A. Thomas medicine is a good investment. Try feeding out your hogs on this plan and if you are not more than pleased, we will refund the cost of the medicine. —J. J. Slo minski. FOR SALE.
