Gilbert M. Hitchcock.
New York World: Defending his re
cord in a letter printed elsewhere,
Senator Hitchcock docs not trouble
himself to deny the gravest charges
feof Th World broucrht attains Mm.
These were, in brief, that fbr-ycars
past he has made a habit of obstruct
ing democratic measures and asBaHing
democratic officers, just as he is( do
ing today, somtctimes with Gurman
applause. - - l '
Mr. Hitchcock does not dcnHhat ho
almost wri
bills, or t
nhlnnurch;
our period of neutrality he persistent
ly attempted, as the German pro
paganda did, to put an embargo on
munitions of war. or that as" late s
March, 1916, he fought any increase
in the army, or that his attitude to
ward many administration measures
was that of n filibuster. What he
docs claim is that the federal reserve
banking law, amended in some re
spects to suit Wall street, is largely
his' law, and that, instead of "fighting
the Panama canal tolls repeal to the
end." ho actually supported it from
the first.
With these bills, as with those
named above, everything depends up
on what is called the end. It is the
habit of some politicians to bolt nom
inations and platforms and afterward
undertake to square themselves by
saying that they voted the straight
ticket. Mr. Hitchcock belongs in this
category. Acting with republicans,
he bolted the democratic caucus and
hnlnpfl liolil tin thn txirifF anil hank
bills for months, but when ho had done
Jail the mischief ho could ho finally
voted for them. Then he, with others,
1 prevented the confirmation of the fed
eral reserve board for weary weeks
until war in Europe comclled action.
As to Mr. Warbury, Mr. Hitchcock
was one of his principal opponents
until on July 18, 1914, the senator
came to New York and had "a most
satisfactory conference" with the
banker. In this as in other cases the
"instrumentality" of which Mr. Hitch
cock speaks a time-destroying in
strumentality came at the very end.
It is harly possible that the senator
does not know that there were two
shippurchase bills. He and others
talked the first one to death in 191S.
After more than a year of precious
time had been lost, the shipping act
of 1916 became a law, with his ap
proval, of course, when all means of
wrecking it had failed. In the matter
of the Panama tools his performance
was the same. The nrcsident had
asked that the discrimination in this
respect, wnicn was cicnny in viola
tion of th.e Hay-Pauncefote treaty, be
done away with."ungrudgingly." Mr.
Hitchcock'and others showed just how
generous they could be when, after
reexamining the senator's re
cord we find nothing warranting a
revision of the opion already express
ed. Why shouldn't such a man be
the first of so-called democratic sen
ators to make an argument in favor
of an orbit ary war cabinet intended
to depose the president and command-

Help Us Help Our Country
"MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE
SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY,
OF THEE WE SING"
These are beautiful words, but now that we are at
war, trying to protect our country, it will be necessary
to do more than sing.
Right now it is our plain duty to buy War Savings
Stamps. Funds must be provided to carry on this war
and every true American should welcome any oppor
tunityto help to the utmost of his ability.
Probably it is true that, if you sit tight, others will
furnish the money to carry on the war, for the money
must be raised in some way, but who wants to be a
Slacker? When the boys come home from ("Some
where in France" no excuse a man can offer will relieve
him of their contempt, if one has not done their best.
, Just think how littlewe are doing, compared with
our boys with the colors. Get into the game! DO
YOUR UTMOST! Its worth while to see how
good you will feel about it
The Nebraska Pamir Expands
On and after April 1, 1918, the
Twentieth Century Farmer, now pub
lished by the Bee Publishing Company
of Omaha, will be owned and pub
lished by the Nebraska Farmer Com
pany. The combined circulation of
the two publications, as they now
stand, is more than 170)000. What it
will be after they are merged wo arc
unable to say; but we may safely pre
dict .that the consolidation will make
Tho Nebraska Farmer the strongest
weekly farm paper west of the Mis
sour; river.
Until April 1, the Twentieth Cen
tury Farmer will continue under the
present management. From April 1
until June 1 it will be continued as
a 'separate publication, but under the
management of the Nebraska Farmer
Company, According to piescnc plans,
the .two papers will ..be consolidated
about Juncl, under the name of The
Nebraska Farmer.
In this deal The Nebraska' Farmer
secures the entire printing dnd elec

business management of the Tho Ne

transaction. It is an interesting fact
that when S. S. McKclvic, editor and
publisher of The Nebraska Farmer
left the farm, he began working for
the Twentieth Century Farmer at $15
per week. He remained with that
publication three years, whereupon
he became editor and later principal
owner and publisher of The Nebraska
