A STLL SMALL VOICE.. Representative Hollingsworth of ]•' o one of the few union veterans no» in congress and one of two of! tiiat - las' from his own state, took co ! - :i- ■ n to enter a dignified protest | against the glorification of treason w i. b marked the recent reunion of •be i nnfederate veterans at Washing !l|n With congress adjourning “in honor" of the men whose efforts, if -ueessful. would have put an end to] < ongre-- with the Congressional Re i mrd stuffed with speeches detifying Jefferson Davis, Mr Hollingsworth -ought “leave to extend his remarks.”] and put into the Record a few words • d re-trained protest, together with a poem on Grant which had recently 1 -*n composed by a clergyman at the • pitai. it was a small voice against t e volume of irritating bloviation by] riie former rebels—but it may be heard afar The eargerness with which high i officers of the administration and; leaders among the majority party in! congress sought to show deference, j even to the point of servility, to the] Conner rebel host will be noted by the loyal North, we hope, and at the first opportunity they will be rebuked. It will do this country no harm to have a new birth of the spirit of that gal lant patriot. Foraker. whose brave life has just closed, and who. when a for mer democratic administrtion sought to return to the South, the captured battle flags of the Rebellion, teles graphed the democratic president, "There will be no rebel flags returned from this state while 1 am governor of Ohio.” THE REAL REMEDY. The Treasury Department is said to be feeling some disquietude over the continued large shipments of gold from this country to Japan: and steps have been taken to discourage the movement. These steps consist in instructing tin- sub-treasury at San Francisco not to redeem gold certifi cates, upon tlie ground that they are legally redeemable onlv at Washing ton. This means that shipments of gold from Pacific ports to Japan must be subje -t to the additional charge for transportation from Washington to the Coast and puts gold at a premium everywhere except at Washington: and is indicative of ail inflated cur rency. No restraints of this kind can check the flow of American guld to Japan. It is sent there in settlement of a trade balance which C increasingly to our detriment hecan-e of 'he constantly enlarging amount of our purchases from Japanese manufacturers and pro ducers. The real remed; for the loss of gold to Japan is to raise the tariff on articles which Japan is selling to us and which find a readier entrance to our market since the democratic re duction in the protection which repub lican tariff laws gave to American in dustrits. WORDS WASTED. Syracuse. June 27.—Although he turned a deaf ear to the appeal of Ser geant Gallagher, a wideawake recruit er of this city. Grant G. Martin of 105 S. Granger Street proved that he was no slacker. Martin was one of the several hundred persons who attended a recruiting rally for the United States Marines, last evening. "Want to join the Marines?" asked the sergeant, approaching Martin. "First to fight on land, or sea. or in the air—artillery, machine gun. hand grenade, or bayonet. Lots of action— good pay—excellent chance for promo tion. Get into the ranks of the soldiers af the sea. and help to fight for freedom in the war for democracy!" Sergeant Gallagher’s patriotic ora tory failed to impress Martin, who mechanically reached into his pocket, pulled out a pad and scribbled out a few words. He handed the slip to the sergeant and walked away. The note read. "Sorry I can't help you. I'm deaf and dumb.” THE KAISER UNMASKED. Hi this issue of The Northwestern appears the first of a series of amaz ing articles revealing the intriegue scandal and diplomatic trickery in Germany imperial court circles—where the great war was hatched. Count von Heltsendorff. long personal adjutant to t'he Crown Prince, is the author of the series, which he calls "Secrets of the Hohenzollerns,” and his case against the Kaiser and the Kaiser's Imperial son proves them the world's most notorious murders. Don't miss the first article—you'll sit up and wait to get those that follow’. HOUSE FOR RENT. I have a small house with five lots for rent at $0.00 per month.—R. H.

WE MUST EAISE S8.000 Through lack of information when organizing, the Red Cross Association of Sherman county started out a little wrong from a money standpoint, in the big drive for contributions, and while the membership committee were getting everybody to join the society, no showing was being made as to the $8,000 quota due from Sherman coun ty. So this morning W. F. Mason, Chairman of the Finance committee, called to his assistance and as associ ate committeemen C. C. Carlsen, A B. Outhouse. E. G. Taylor. R. H. Ma thew, Judge Wall and Judge Pedler and Uncle Joe started out and found the people of Loup City characteristic of their generosity ready to come across to the Red Cross and raised a thousand dollars before the water was hot. Sherman county is expected to raise $8,000 for tne war fund, and mem bership money is not credited to our county on this fund. MAY BE A BLESSING. A well known Freni "lit man. who has been engaged in fanning pursuits during most of his life, says that the freezing out of Dodge unity's wheat crop last winter was the best thing that could happen. “The Hessian fly Juts been eradi rated by that very distressing weath er that has killed tlious id.- of dollars worth of valuable crop ' he said to the Tribune reporter his morning. "There is no question about, it. the Hessian fly was getting a strong hold in his part of Nebraska, The pest would have ruined probably half of our wheat fields had the winter been mild and conductive to ts mulviplica tion. Experts were gr- ae’y worried over the situation. Th* dry autumn followed by the alternately warm and extremely cold weather of the winter wiped out the pe-t.” It is believed that the unusually se r • « You will recognize in Sylvodora Face Powder that exquisitely fine toilet lux ury that you hav. been seeking for some time.

The government is to have 100.000 airplanes built and sent to France as quickly as they can be constructed. Our own men will pilot those planes. Many a fair young life will be sacri ficed in the clouds, but for every one who falls to his death the lives of a hundred will be saved In the trenches No saner or more far reaching plan was ever devised by our government than the sending of thes® 100,000 planes to the French front. With a hun dred thousand, or fifty thousand, addi tional planes in the air the eyes of the German army will be blinded while ours will still have light.

Neb., for the purpose of receiving applications from patriotic Nebraskans who desire to enter the second camps. The camp for this state will be held at Fort Riley Kansas, beginning the 27th of August and ending November 26.

C., June 27.—Not sat isfied with only serving their country in the “two-in-one" marine corps way the recruits undergoing instruction at the marine corps recruit depot here have subscribed for $90,700 worth of Liberty Bonds, it was announced today Slackers who sneaked away from registering June 5, and now and them selves facing prison sentences and com pulsory military service at the end of their incarceration, will get no sympa thy from the public at large. Instead they will be viewed with scorn and dis gust. and to their dying day they will carry the obloquav with which they have smeared themselves. Parents are not imbued with the idea of sending their own sons to war while the slacker sneaks into hiding. A new law enacted by the recent legislature of interest to all auto own ers and drivers which necessarily in cludes the greater proportion of Ne braska's inhabitants, will go into ef fect July 24th. This law, while it makes amendments and provisions for speed, brakes and other ideas connected with motordom. more particularly provides for the proper lighting of both pleus ure and commercial cars. Under this new law, drivers at night are compel led to have a red tail light as well as proper front illumination, together with search lights. Many attempts have been made to provide proper regulations for light in niglat driving to eliminate all danger of accident coming through the glare. This new law specifically requires that no por tion of the beam of reflected light from a car when measured seventy-five feet or more ahead of the lamps, shall rise i above forty-two inches from the level surface upon which the vehicle stands. It can be readily seen that seientifical ly constructed light reflectors will be made necessary to meet with these stringent demands. SHERMAN COUNTY EXEMPTION BOARD.
