THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CAR
RANZA AND WILSON.
Senor Don Eliseo Arredondo, Mexi
can Ambassador at Washington, is
absent from his post. He has been
called home by first chief Senor Don
Venustiano Carranza because the
American commissioners who are fol
lowing the joint commission’s sessions
at various entrancing seaside resorts
have declined to meet the first chief’s
wishes regarding the withdrawal of
Pershing’s troops from Mexico. Car
ranza demands this withdrawal as a
right of a sovereign state; and when
that right is infringed, in his judg
ment, he does not hesitate to take
away his diplomatic representative
at the capital of the offending power,
even though the executive of that
power is his great and good friend.
We have here an example of the
market difference between Venustiano
and Carranza and Woodrow Wilson.
When the rights of this nation, as de
fined by international law and guar
anteed by treaties, have been violated
and reparation refused, Wilson has
never withdrawn his ambassador or
minister from any of the offending
nations. He has been content with
plaintive remonstrances of the “Now
look here,” or the “You ought not to
do that," or the “I thought you were
“hot that sort of nation, order. He has
never fortified any message which
his representatives heve delivered
with an order to come home if the re
ply was not satisfactory.
Carranza, however, shows that he
is not to be played with. He has al
ways shown this. When the ABC
conference met, two years ago, Car
ranza was the only one of the rival
Mexican chieftians who refused to
heed Wilson’s admonitions. And Car
ranza was afterward recognized as
the executive force in Mexica. When
the scope of the New London confer
ence was being discussed .Carranza
insisted that the first and essential
question to be taken up was the with
drawal of Pershing's men. He still
insists upon it; and when he finds a
disposition on the part of our ccftnmis
sioners to avoid or postpone that dis
cusslon, he calls his Ambassador at
Washington from his post.
Many people are inclined to think
fh.t if there had been a hundred or
nore Mexicans killed on the Lusi
tania, there would now be no Mexi
can Ambassador in Berlin or the Ger
man government had flouted Carran
za as it has flouted Wilson.
In a recent political speech, Hon.
C. Petrus Peterson, a member of the
last legislature from Lancaster eoim
ty, about hit the nail on the head in
regard to Democratic conditions in
Nebraska, when he said: “The Demo
cratic party in this state is suffering
from a malady which should be called
Mullenphobia. Its symptoms are a
feeling of irresistible impulse at the
sight of Arthur Mullen to regard him
as Moses the Lawgiver.”—Havelock
Post.
We do not find any denial from the
democrats that their party is afflict
ed with Mullenphobia. It has been
charged against them, and they are
unable to refute the statment, that
Mullen is in control of the democratic
machine in Nebraska which is mak
ing ever possible effort to defect Ken
nedy and Sutton, and paying no atten
tion whatever to the balance of the
ticket. It looks as though the
Mullen machine realized that they
must center their efforts against
these 'two candidates, especially
against Sutton, to stand any show of
continuing in control of the state
house. It looks as though the voters
would give the Mullen machine a
pretty rude jolt along about Novem
ber 7th.
It would be difficult to imagine a
worse case of political hypocracy
than that displayed by the democratic
campaign managers in their effort to
persuade voters that they are friends
of the old soldiers and have support
ed pension legislation. It is true
that a few democrats in congress
have voted for pensions for the veter
ans, but the party has been against
even a reasonable pension policy.
Even during a democratic administra
tion, pension legislation has been
passed by republican, not democratic
votes. Therefore, voting for an indi
vidual candidate of the democratic
party who has himself bedn friendly
to pension legislation, helps to give
control of congress to a party a ma
jority of whose members are antago
nistic to such a policy. In the organi
zation of the house and senate, in the
appointment of committees, and in
the adoption of legislative programs,
a democrat who is himself favorable
to pension legislation is working in
harmony with men who are opposed
to it. How, then, can any friend of the
old soldier let himself be misled info
voting for a democratic candidate for
the house or senate?
Joseph Pulitzer is dead. He left a
great newspaper property—the New
York World—and an estate running
into the millions. During his life
time the columns of the World were
filled with the praise of Charles E.
Hughes—as investigator of the gas
and the insurance scandals and as
governor of New York. In Joseph
Pulitzer’s will he named Charles E.
Hughes an executor and trustee of his
estate, a duty which Mr. Hughes, be
ing then on the bench, declined. Jos
eph Pulitzer is dead and the present
editor of the New York World evi
dently knows not Joseph—for the
World today is filled with absurd and
venomous attacks upon Mr. Hughes’s
integrity of mind. The World has ap
parently taken a contract to re-elect
Wilson and finds that it cannot ful
fill.
The juggling of the national guard
still continues and will doubtless con
tinue until after election. A regiment
is withdrawn, a regiment is ordered
to the border. The troops are paraded,
the troops are sent on a hike. All
this is faithfully emblazoned to the
country by democratic press-agents
and the wearisome farce of pretend
ing that the soldiers are down there
to ‘defend their country” is kept up.
When the curtain will be rung down
no one knows. But the signal for the
final act will be given on election day
with the repudiation of the first
president who ever attempted to play
politics w^th our foreign relations
and with our national defence.
President Wilson’s campaign man
agers keep repeating the assertion
M. C. MULICK
Democratic Candidate for Sheriff of
Sherman County.
that he will not deal In personalities.
Of course he won’t. There is no man
in the Unfted States who ever has or
ever will say one word in criticism
of the personal life of Charles E.
Hughes. The repeated denial of in
tention to deal in personalities is a
shrewd but unscrupulous method of
insinuating that personalities are pos
sible. Wilson knows that even if he
wanted to do so, he couldn’t say a
word derogatory to Hughes. He would
be fortunate indeed if his own record
were as good.
In the first 90 days of the present
fiscal y&ir the Wilson administra
tion accumulated a deficit of $49,
500,000. They spent $550,000 a day
more than they collected in revenue.
Still they defend their tariff law which
cut off revenue at the custom houses,
and they deny that they are extrava
gant. More taxes or bond issues are
evidently ahead of us.
Every organization of business men
in the country realizes and acknowl
edges the danger of disastrous for
eign competition in our markets af
ter the war, and most of them are
convinced that the only safe course
for us to pursue is to restore the pro
tective tariff.
We find a reminiscent note in the
fact that Mr. Bran’s itinerary of
speeches this year in support of Wil
son is substantially the same as that
he followed in 1904 in advocacy of
Parker. We can recall vividly the
vote which Parker got in the States
where Bryan campaigned for him.
A GRAND OLD MAN.
There are a few state officers that
should be outside the pale of politics
and the regents of the state universi
ty should be included among this
number. There probably has never
been a more deserving candidate for
this office than S. C. Basset of Gib
bon, the grand old man who has
been identified with the upbuilding
of Nebraska ever since the territorial
days when the Indians roamed over
the prairies of Buffalo county where
he now resides. He has been a lead
ing figure in the advancement of
Nebraska from the day he settled on
its soil. He has been a potent fac
tor in perpetuating the early history
of the state and his writings in this
connection would fill volumes. He
has made a great study of the state
and the state university with its
allied institutions have been his con
stant pride. Mr. Bassett, while on
the down hill side of life, is full of
vigor and his ripe years of experience
equip him for the place. He happens
to be a candidate on the republican
ticket, but surely the voters, regard
less of the party, could not pay a
more worthy tribute to a grand old
pioneer than to make S. C. Basset
regent of the state university.—Cus
ter County Chief.

The Truth About
PROHIBITION and RUBBER
MURDER is being committed in prohibition Kansas with
far greater frequency than in Nebraska.
Official Prison Record:
KANSAS-- Sentenced for Murder in 2 years 85
NEBRASKA-Sentenced for Murder in 2 years 29
Eighty-five Kansas murderers convicted and sentenced in
the short space of two years ending June 30, 1916, as
against twenty-nine in Nebraska in the same period!
The appalling murder record of Kansas carries a lesson of
terrible import to the citizens of Nebraska. Under prohibi
tion there has grown up in Kansas the inevitable “Alley
Joint” evil. In these “joints” liquors of the vilest sort are
dispensed to men and boys by dissolute characters, both
male and female, spreading crime and debauchery to every
part of the state.
(Excerpts from article in “The Topeka Daily State Journal”
of August 29, 1916.)
• •• "Qf tfje criminal cases docketed for the September
term of court, 106 are for violations of the prohibitory law.
**** As a rule, about one-tenth of the cases brought charg
ing violations of the prohibitory law are tried. They cost the
county about S50 each.”
"One noticeable thing about the criminal docket for the
September term is that forty-six of the JOINT cases are
against women.” "
If you are opposed to the Alley Joint evil and
the increase of crime, vote No on the prohibi
tion amendment.
