"KEPT US OUT OF WAR.”
Claims that President Wilson has
“kept us out of war” are so ridiculous
ly untrue that it is amusing to those
who know the facts, declared Repre
sentatiev Charles F. Curry, of Califor
nia, in a statement at Washington
recently.
“His refusal to recognize Hureta as
the de facto president of Mexico, as
was done by European nations, en
couraged bandit chiefs to continue
their guerrilla warfare. Since then
his vacillating policy, putting on em
bargoes one day and lifting them the
next, supporting one faction today and
another tomorrow, dictating who
should not be a candidate for the
presidency'of Mexico, and his meddle
some muddling generally, caused by
his personal antipathy to Hureta,
based on an uncomplimentary re
mark made about him by Hureta, pro
longed the revolutions.
“President Wilson committed two
acts of war againct Mexico. One
punitive expedition was for the
avowed purpose of compelling Hureta
to fire a salute of twenty-one guns
to our flag; a number of American
marines and Mexicans were killed at
Vera Cruz; the supply of note paper
at the white house was exhausted, but
the salute was not fired. The second
punitive expedition was after the raid
on Columbus and was to get Villa
dead or alive. Villa still lives and is
at liberty.
"The president called for a confer
ence of Mexican factions to establish
a de facto government but said he
would not recognize the leader of any
faction that failed to attend. Car
ranza was the only leader that refused
to pay attention to the conference and
President Wilson recognized him.
"In handling the Mexican situation
the Wilson administration has invari
ably done those things it ought not to
have done and left undone those
things it ought to have done.
“The president has reiterated and
his mouthpieces have claimed so of
ten that he is entitled to the credit
of keeping us out of the European war
that many persons accept the state
ments as true. Neither the Allies nor
the Central powers want the United
States th become involved in the con
flict.
"Nothing can involve us in that con
flict nnless we deliberately cease to
CONGRESSMAN MOSES P. KINKAID.
maintain strict neutrality anil blunder
into it. “The United States is three
thousand miles away from the Euro- j
pean conflict. Denmark. Holland, Swe- ]
den, Norway, and Switzerland, are
right at the doors of the warring na
tions and yet these little countries!
are not involved. It is absured for the |
president's partisans to claim that he
has kept us out of war.
"The president is an exceedingly
erudite, well-meaning, kindly polished
gentleman, possessing more book
learning and less wisdom than any of
his predecessors. During the time he
has occupied the presidential chair it
has been demonstrated conclusively
that it is one of the most easy of in
tellectual efforts for a scholastic ideal
ist to dream dreams, evolve theories,
and in imagination govern the world
from a philosopher’s chair, but that
when it comes to dealing with flesh
and blood, human nature, economic
conditions, and international problems
as they are it is an entirely different
proposition. It is not dreams and theo
ries but facts and conditions that
must be considered, not abstract phil
osophy but concrete wisdom that must
be used to effectively govern a people
in such a manner as to surely safe
guard their rights and liberties and
advance their prosperity at home and
protect the national welfare and main
tain the dignity, honor, and power of
the Commonwealth abroad.
"The people have not forgotten that
after a conference with the president
on diplomatic complications of an
acute nature between our government
and one of the European belligerents,
distinguished members of the senate
foreign relations committee told sena
tors and representatives and even
stated to newspaper men that the
president had become very much ex
cited during-the conference and in a
vehement manner had said in effect",
It might not be a bad thing for civili
zation and would hasten the end if
the United'States would enter the war
on the side of the allies.
“Early in his administration the
president was too proud to fight, even
in defense of national honor, later he
was looking for an opportunity to
break into the war; today he claims
to be entirely neutral; what his atti
tude will be tomorrow nobody knows.”
WHAT THE SOUTH THINKS.
Mr. Hughes’ assault upon the
democratic president and congress
for their base and shameful surrend
er of prerogative before the arrog
ant demands of the railroad brother
hoods is finding an echo all over the
country. Audiences in Tennessee,
Kentucky and Maine responded to it;
and the press throbs with indignation
because of the incident. This is es
pecially true in the South where a
collection of editorial views, gathered
by the Manufacturers’ Record of Bal
timore shows such sturdy democratic
journals as the Augusta (Georgia)
Chronicle, the Baltimore Sun, the

Newport News Press, the Greens
boro (North- Carolina) News, the
Richmond Journal, the Charlotte
News, the Montgomery Advertiser,
the Florida Times-Union, the Macon
Telegraph, the Roanoke Times, the
Memphis Commercial-Appeal, the
Staunton (Va.) Leader showing
marked resentment because the presi
dent and congress submitted to what
one of these editors term a “rape of
the nation’s honor.”
These newspapers are democratic.
The South is democratic. The South
is, in the largest sense, the demo
cratic party. In viewr of the opinions
which the South holds on this ques
tion, where shall be classify Presi
dent Wilson?
The Department of Labor has just
issued its bulletin for July, 1916,
covering immigration statistics, and
includes therein figures for the fis
cal years 1914 1915, and 1916. The
tables show that 1914 popula
tion increased 769,276, which, if kept
up for the succeeding two years
would have given us a total increase
of 1,538,552 for 1915 and 1916. Due
to the war, however, the increase was
only 176,011. showing that the war
curtailed our population, chiefly of
the working classes, to the extent of
1,362,541. Every laboring man who
now rejoicing over good wages and
steady employment should keep
these facts in mind when he is told
by Democratic spellbinders that
President Wilson gave him his job
and filled his empty dinner pail.
The idols of the southwest are
crumbling. Added to the failure of
“Cyclone” Davis to achieve a renomi
nation to congress in the democratic
primaries we now have the startling
intelligence that “Alfalfa Bill” Mur
ray of Oklahoma has been denied an
other term by his democratic con
stituents.

Shall We
Discard Local Option
and Adopt State Prohibition ?
Under the existing Local Option Law, it lies
within the power of the citizens of any community
in Nebraska to adopt local prohibition for their
own city, town, or village.
In every, community in this state absolute control over this ques
tion lies in the hands of the majority of the voters. No interference
from the outside is possible; nothing can thwart the wishes of the
majority in the city, town or village, with respect to the question
of license or no license.
Many communities in this state have availed therpselves of the
power granted to them under our Local Option Law, and have
adopted local prohibition fci- their own community. Where there
is a dominant LOCAL public sentiment in support of that policy,
it is possible to make the no-license policy respected and obeyed.
There are, on the other hand, many communities in this state
where it is the opinion of the majority of the citizens that the
license policy is better adapted to their own community. Where
that is the prevailing sentiment, the community is permitted,
under our existing Local Option Law, to license the sale of alco
holic beverages—subject of course to the provisions and restric
tions of the general state law.
In neither case, is a policy forced on a community
from without. The principle of Home Rule prevails.
It is now proposed to substitute for this policy of local self
government, the policy of state-wide prohibition. This prohibition
policy is not intended for the relief of communities in which the
no-license policy already prevails, but is designed to FORCE such
a policy on other communities against their will.
i '
The result, as the experience of other states
has abundantly established, would be disastrous
in every city and town on which prohibition is
forced. It means, where dominant local sentiment *
is opposed to prohibition, lax enforcement of the
law, the dividing of such towns into bitterly hos
tile factions, the reign of the spy and of the in
former, the rapid growth of crime—and in the end
it means higher taxes.
; • i
Against the substitution of such a system for
that under which Nebraska is now operating,
everyone having the best interests of the people of
this state at heart, should solemnly protest.

WHY SUFFER SO?
Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Loup City people recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills. Could you ask for
stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. W.H. Hughes. Loup City, says:
“I have been a sufferer from kidney
and bladder troublle off and on for
many years. The kidney secretions
were retarded, and at times, my hands
and feet swell up. I was dizzy and
everything turned black before me.
I read such good accounts about
Doan's Kidney Pills helping others,
that I decided to try them, procuring
them at Swanson’s Drug Store. They
helped wonderfully.”

MARVELOUS WHEAT.
“Marvelous” wheat, a strain of
wheat for wrhich extravagant claims
have been made by seedsmen, was
found this yea" by the Nebraska Ex
periment Station to stool less and
yield less than Turkey Red wheat.
Seedsmen's advertisements for this
wheat represented that the wheat
would yield more, stool more, and
that less seed would be required. The
experiment station found this year
that it is profitable to sow more than
two pecks, and that in any < ase its
stooling power and yield were lower
than Turkey Bed. Where two pecks
of marvelous wheat were sown, the
yield was 46.5 bushels; where five
pecks were sown, the yield was 62 bu
shels. Where two pecks of Turkey
Red were sown, the yield was 48.5;
Where five pecks were used, 57. This
year’s results indicate that many
claims for marvelous w'heat will not
be substantiated.
