The outstanding facts in Mr. Hughes’ discussion of foreign rela tions are these: He will keep us out of war if possible, but the peace that he values is peace honorable to the nation; his concern is the United State of America; his just demands upon foreign governments will be made as a matter of right and they will be made in terms unmistakable; his aim will be to prevent violations of Americans lives and property; he will exhibit the might of the country in time to avert humiliation and dis aster, not when the damage has been done and a show of force is a vain pararding of unused strength. Mr. Hughes will not “butt-in" a neigh bor’s affairs, but if he is compelled to adopt forceful measures in the inter est of the United States he will not attempt to excuse a just action as in behalf of some phantasy, nor will he withdraw before his mission has been accomplished. Resoluteness means peace, not war. says Mr. Hughes. Mere discussion accomplishes nothing, as has been proved by the failure of Mr. Wilson’s interminable exchanges of notes with those who have been guilty of aggres sions against us. We know the char acter of Mr. Hughes. There can be no doubt that when he takes the reins of government from the feeble hands of Woodrow JVilson there will be an end of that condition which has brough shame upon our peace-loving nation, shame that such peace as is ours has been bought at the price of • national honor.—Pittsburg Gazette Times. THE DEMOCRATIC HOPE. It is of the utmost importance to the country’s future that voters shall analyze critically the present govern ment’s course of action and deter mine whether ft indicates ability to advance our interests and insure our safety in the troublous times ap proaching. By such analysis alone can we judge intelligently whether it was because of Mr. Wilson’s action or in spite of it that we have been out of war, and only by such analysis can we estimate what the price of our present peace is and is likely to be and what the future promises. If the American people are so weak and degenerated from its former vig orous self that it wrill blindly accept the sop of immediate peace and re fuse to consider whether it has been wisely purchased or how it has been achieved, then by all means let us have no criticism of the last four years and merely drift into the future. If, however, we wish to have fore sight, we must first use hindsight. The hopes of the democratic cam paign depend on tlie acceptance by a 1 majority of the American people of J the theory that the country is now enjoying “peace and prosperity” as a result of democratic policy. If there were no analysis of the nature of our peace nor of the sources of our pros perity this theory migh well prevail. We have confidence that a majority of the American people will see its fallacy.—Chicago Tribune. Again the youth of our community are back in schodj and preparing themselves for the duties of life. A few years hence they will be bearing the burdens of the community that are borne by us today, and it is incumbent upon us to see that they are in every way fitted to cope with the many and intricate problems that will confront them. Education is a modern necessity. It is no longer a luxury reserved principally for the rich. It is just as essential that the mind of the farmer be developed to the utmost capacity as it is for the merchant or the doctor or lawyer. Each brach of industry is dependent in great measure of the success at tained by other branches. No longer can we “go it alone” as our fore fathers did in the good old days. Hence, if we would have our children sucsessful in life it is necessary that we afford them every opportunity to acquire the education that is the first requisite to such achievement. Keep the public schools in mind, en courage the teachers by your person al interest and support, and com mend the children in their efforts to meet your expectations. Speak the good word that breeds ambition in the breast of teacher and pupil alike, and begin the speaking today. When you have read through this issue of the paper just take time enough to let one fact sink into your active brain. The paper on which this issue was printed has cost us approximately double what is cost us (Two years ago. The ink we used is away up in price. The oil that keeps the press revolving is up in price. The power that moves the ma chinery is sky high. In fact, every item of expense is up in the clouds and many are away above them, and every dollar of expense means just that amount of money rght out of our pocket. A great many subscribers are in arrears on subscription, and we need that money in order to meet the rapidly increasing cost of pro ducing this paper. It is simply thoughtlessness on your part, we know, but our own creditors do not recognize that word. It don’t go writh them for an instant. Do we get “ours,” brother? A small Iowa town had three gene ral stores. One was the acknowl edged leader, but all were enjoying a good business because the town was an important trading point for a large number of farmers and their families. The leading merchant soon outgrew the town, however, and moved to a bigger place. The other two stores rejoiced because they felt i^. would mean more business for them to have their chief competitor leave. But it did not work out that way, be cause these two men did not hold the trade that the third had attracted to the town, and consequently each of ' the two stores left soon began to show a decrease in sales over months when there were three of them.—Omaha Trade Exhibit. Democratic campaign managers should not be so disapponted over the course of the progressives in go ing back into the republican party. In the progressive platform of 1912 the progressives adopted a tariff plank that was identical with one previous ly adopted by a republican conven tion. In the differences that exist over the tariff question, we find the fundamental difference between the republican and democratic parties. A progressive who believes in an “Amer ica First" tariff could not do other wise than go back to the republican party. “National Guardsmen enjoy life in camp," says a democratic campaign bulletin. Since the democratic Na tional committee is thus trying to make politics out of the retention of the guardsmen on the border, they must not complain when the men and their relatives at home pass criti cism upon the management of the Mexican fiasco. It is a poor rule that -won't work both ways, and it is a safe guess that when it comes to mak ing politics of a military maneuver that calls for a ?130,000,000 bond is sue. there will be more than one side to it. Just keep right on breezing through life without a thought of the welfare of others and in the end you will die without knowing that you have even lived. GOT WHAT THEY ORDERED. The Ravenna Creamery Co., prides itself on filling all orders correctly, but they received a letter from a Mon tana customer recently complaining of the poor quality of the last two lots of eggs supplied. The reputation of the Creamery Co., for never making an error seemed to be at a stake, but the bright mind of Joe Clark found a way out of it. He wrote: “Gentlemen: We are sorry to hear that our consignment did not suit you; these was, however, no mistake on our part. We have looked up your origi nal order, and find that it reads as fol lows: “Rush fifty cases eggs. We want them bad.”—Ravenna News. L P. DAILY FURNITURE CO.

Every farmer who raises sheep knows to what the above refers. The “bell wether” is the leader of the flock. He usually wears a bell, and wherever he and his bell go thither his flock obediently follows. For good or ill. to safety or into danger, where he leads they go. If he happens to be a wise old fellow his followers profit by his wisdom, but if he develops vicious and unreliable traits disaster is almost certain to overtake the flock. Have you ever paused to think how like sheep are we humans in this respect? Look around in almost any community and you will easily spot the bell wether. And not only can you locate him, but a little study of local conditions will invariably disclose to the careful observer his true char acteristics as a leader. If the community is progressive, prosperous, law abiding and happy, you may put it down that this state of affairs results largely from the fact that these qualities are inherent in the leaders of community life. We know that many people like to think and assert that, we are all equal and recognize no leaders, but this is purely a figment of the imagination. Nine out of every ten of us are too busy with our own affairs to take time to attend to the details of community life. There are a thousand and one questions of public import that must fall to the lot of some one who has the time and the capacity to grapple with them, and under such conditions com munity leaders are developed. If, hap pily, he posses wisdom, coupled with a spirit of unselfish devotion to the interests of the community, then the community is indeed fortunate. But when he develops vicious traits and an inclination for self-seeking, then, like the sheep, his followers are in danger. While, as we have said, most of us are too busily engaged in our own pursuits to assume these burdens of civic responsibility, we yet may keep a watchful eye upon those who have assumed the burdens a'nd assist them in the faithful discharge of their trusts. This we can and should do, everv one of us. This is a pretty good old world, after all, and safe leaders and public officials can easily be found, and every public spirited citizen should join the hunt. Don’t shoot ducks till after Septem ber 16, and play safe. The state and federal laws conflict. The state law says September 1st, and the federal the 16th. Safety first. A LOUP CITY WOMAN'S EXPERI ENCE. 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 Frederick Hotel, Loup City, says: “I think Doane’s Kidney Pills are well worthy of praise as a kid new medicine. I have used them only on two occasions 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 occasional attacks of backache. I used Doane’s Kidney Pills which I got at Swanson’s Drug Store, ami I became better. I have had no necessity to use any kidney medicine of late.” Price 50 cents, at all dealers. Don’t simply.ask for a kidney remedy—get Doane s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Odendahl had.
