RESOLUTENESS MEANS PEACE.
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.

THE COMMUNITY BELLWETHER.
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. Foster-Milburn
