- Loup City Northwestern \ \ ’ * A LIVE NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN A LIVE TOWNf _ ■ VOLUME XXXV. LOUP CITY, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1916 NUMBER 45 ^ - ■ ■ . , -. . . ■ ——» WASHINGTON LETTER In reply to criticisms of the demo cratic press that Governor Hughes is waving the bloody shirt and stirring up sectionalism in his remarks on control of the national government by the South. Representative Fees, of Ohio, chairman of the publicity com mittee of the national republican congressional committee, gave out the following statement today: "The democratic press editorially takes to task Governor Hughes for calling the country’s attention to the sectionalism of the Wilson adminis tration. It denies the fact of seetion alisi^--the editorial wrriters lack in formation—that’s all. No man who knows would deny that the Underwood bill retains duties upon southern products, cotton goods, race, tobacco, Angora goat hair, etc., A.d places twenty articles of agri culture on the free list—all northern product*. That is sectional legisla tion. “If any citizen calls attention to these facts he is at once accused by democrats of raising a sectional issue. This congress is responsible for this sectional spirit. The Congressional Record of June 3rd, 1916, records some interesting data. By special or I der of the house previously mad*. Re presentative Aswell, of Louisiana, was given a stated time to eulogize Jeffer >on Davis as one of the country’s patriots. The Record shows his speech was punctuated by frequent ap tdause and when it was finished the Record reads—(prolonged applause). "Immediately following this speech Representative Kinheloe. of Ken p lucky, by special order of the house, previously arranged, pronounced a second eulogy upon the head of the Confederacy, which was closed with iloud applause). Whfn these two eulogies were finished the house ad journed making a day’s work of two • ulogies upon Jefferson Davis. “This is but one item of others in dicating the sectionalism fomented by the present democratic administration That republicans are expected to grin and bear, but say nothing. It is in keeping with Wilson’s statement in Philadelphia: I look across the Po tomac from the White house and view my country. “On March 1st, the Congressional Record gives an interesting item of the same import. Both the 63rd and 64th Congresses had witnessed ef forts to do away with the element o' loyalty as a necessary condition for southern claimants to establish ». case against the government for damage arising during the civil war. This proof of loyalty has been steadily ad hered to. On March 1st when the House was considering the subject | of captured or abandoned property ! an amendment was offered as fol lows : PROVIDED, that no claim shall I be allowed an claimant unless it is proved to the U. S. government dur ing the Civil War. This amendment was rejected upon a standing vote ayes 58, nays 74. A motion was then made to recommit the bill to the Com mittee on War Claims with instruc tions to report back with an amend ment requiring loyalty as a condition for any claim. Upon this the yeas and nays were ordered by Republican members. By a vote of 187 to 170 loyalty was again made a require ment. Of course the solid south voted against it. They were joined by fourty-three northern Democrats, five of whom were from Ohio, Allen Ashbrook, Gorden, Key, and Over meyer. Neither Brumbaugh, Gard. nor Crosser voted. Seven of the forty-three came from Indiana, Baru hart, Cline, Cox. Dixen, Gray, Lieb. and Morrison. Neither Adair, Rauch nor Cullop voted. All the Democrats voted against requiring loyalty. "The Committee on War Claims which has charge of these matters has fif teen members, nine Democrats and six Republicans. Of the nine Demo crats six are from the southern states including chairman Gregg, ot Texas; of the three from northern states two voted with the Democrats against loyalty. One only joined the Republcans in their demands for loyalty. » -:—j Evangelistic and Social Program Methodist Episcopal Church Loup City, Nebraska October 29th to December 1 Oth FIRST WEEK. ^ OCTOBER'29—10:30 to 12:00 o’clock, Sunday school Rally Day.

ONLY TWO MONTHS TO CHRISTMAS rwww Srt R.IE5,WHV f ttfONCY T TWO MOMTHS To CHglStW "If the national treasury is required to satisfy all the war claims that may be presented, claims that grow out of the exigencies of a four years civil war, whether the claimant was loyal or disloyal, can any expert ac countant place a limit upon the de mands from that source? “In the 63rd Congress Mr. Under wood. taking advantage of his posi tion as floor leader, secured passage through the House of a special act, granting a claim without reference to the loyalty. This was carried after the most determined opposition was the opening wedge. In the light of recent legislation of the most wasteful character where the treas ury is drawn upon for southern pro jects, and in the glare of the proceed ings of March 1st and June 3rd of this year, the structures of the demo cratic press against Mr. Hughes for calling the country’s attention to the sectionalism of the government as now administered are but whimp erings of troubled minds seriofusly disturbed by the strength of the criticism.” SCHOOL NOTES.

Folks came from far and near and we had 22G at Sunday school. It may be interesting to the public to know that the goal for the year is an average attendance of 185. Many think that is too low and the pastor has agreed to “set ’em up” if the school beats it. We will give the average for October next week. The Epworth League had an in creased attendance. A number of young men were present. Let us have more. The pastor noted the <">od attendance of young men at even ing preaching service. The pastor had the pleasure of at tending the meeting of the Bey Scouts in the church basement Mon day evening. To say we had a good time would be putting it mildly. It was the first time we ever attended such a meeting and the impression 1 was so fine that we would like to go some more. The Scout Master, J. W. Long, deserves great credit and the hearty help of parents and all in the splendid work with the boys and young men in which he is engaged, i About forty gathered around the | tables for the oyster stew, which only ! Mr. Johnson could have prepared. , Then Mr. Long gave a short, stirring speech and was followed by Supt. r. U. Bitner, Prof. Davidson and the pastor. It is a good place and a good way for the young men to spend an evening together.

The following letter from Chief Justice Morrissey appeared in the Lincoln State Journal in its issue of September 29th, 1916: Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 27.—To the Edi tor of the State Journal: Your paper published a tabulation of what pur ported to be the number of opinions written by jlidges of this court for two terms, and then taking these fig ures as a basis undertook to show that my friends were making claims in my behalf that were not warrented Following this, the publicity bureau of one of the candidates sent a copy of your article to the weekly, and I presume there are those who have studied the figures and reached the conclusion that they correctly reflect the record. For this reason I have had the records checked up;not for a part of the time I have been on the court, but for the whole time. I be came chief justice of the court Janu ary 25, 1915, and the first sitting of the court thereafter convened Febr uary 1, 1915. Since that date there have been submitted by oral argu ment, briefs, or both. 525 cases for final disposition. In these cases there have been written 406 opinions, of which I have written fifty-eight. As the court consists of a chief justce and six associate justices, it will be seen that I have written the exact av erage of the whole court. Eightv three cases have been affirmed with out opinion or otherwise disposed of, and there are thirty-six cases pend ing. In the hearing of these 525 cases the records show the members of the court participating as follows: Morrissey, in . 508 Barnes, in. 471 Rose, in ...:.. 452 Letton, in . 425 Fawcett, in . 416 Sedgwick, in . 380 Hamer, in . 297*““ During a part of this time Judge Hamer was sick and this may ex plain his absence in so many cases. It will be seen iihat I have participated in 101 more cases than the average for each justice, and I have written the same number of opinions as the average for each justice, besides hand ling the work incident to the office of chief justice. In addition to the cases mentioned, opinions were filed in a number of cases submitted be fore I came a member of the court. I have not taken these into account as they belong to a period prior to my service, and if some judge was behind with his work I am not responsible for it, nor is he to be given credit for it during the period covered by this statement. I am not saying that the value off a member of the court may be deter mined by the number of opinions he writes, or by the number of cases in which he participates, but, inasmuch as the article mentioned dealt with the number of opinions written during a part of m term of services, I sub mit the above figures covering the whole period from my first day on the court to the present.
