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’.

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.”

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AIR
PLANES.
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.
The rest will be Put a matter of
time, strategy and nerve.

SECOND TRAINING CAMP.
The second training camp for train
ing officers for the second 500.000 men
that are to he called into the service
will afford men in civil life the last
opportunity to obtain commissions in
the army. After this series of camps
the new officers wil De chosen from
those already in the military service.
Captain George L. Byroads. X". S.
Army, is now at Fort Crook. 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.
As these men wil! be charged with
the welfare, health and instruction as
well as leading them into battle, it is
hoped that men of mature experience
will make applications. These men are
desired for the positions above that of
Lieutenant and some for the grade of
1st Lieutenant.
Men who made application for the
first camps but were not called will
have to make new application upon the
blank forms furnished for that pur
pose. No letters of recommendation are
necessary but the names of at least
three reprsentativs men of your com
munitv will be required as references.
The government will pay transpor
tation. food, clothing, equipment, and
$100 a month during the training per
iod. After the training is completed
those who are commissioned will re
ceive the pay and allowance of the
grade they attain.
The necessary blank forms and fur
ther information may be obtained by
writing The Examining Officer. Second
Camps. Fort Crook. Neb. Those appli
cations must be in the hands of the
Examining Officer before the 16th of
July.

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.
