Nebraska Published every Thursday intend In the l'ostolT.ce nt llcil Cloud, Neb as Second Claw Matter' QUIGLEY tt ERCAVNE, Editcn nd PuII.iIimi ;JU ONLY KKMOCKATIU PAI'CK IN A question of today "Did yott join the Rod Cross?" Taking prtfss reports and the state ments of numerous correspondents from the front as a basis it is evident that the German empire has many squat c miles but few .square meals. There is a marked increase in cattle production with reported prospect of reduced prices. This, together with no diminution in the pork supply, will be cheering news to everybody except his "nibs" the Kaiser. July 14th is an anniversary eolo biatod by the French as wo celebrate the Fourth. Satin day and Sunday the tricolors of France floated against blue skies in lied Cloud, an appro priate testimonial to the union of tho two countries in the struggle for wot Id libctty. ., r Bible students who delight in apply ing scriptural' quotations to modern conditions ma'y find something in that line by reading 2nd Timothy, 3: "Tho chariots shall lago in the streets; they shall jostle one against another in tho broad way; they shall seem liko great toichcs; tltey shall run like the lightning." Labor is king. Inexperienced men go out on the farms right hero in Webster county and command ftom forty to fifty cents an hour for their services. Nothing equalling this was ever known. There was a time when that amount would have ncaily cov ered tho laborer's hire for a week, but that was long, long ago when wheat was about eighteen cents per bushel and motor troubles unknown. Official repoits go to gieat length in reviewing the coffee maikets. The result, simmeicd down into one set of figures is that there arc thirty millioli sacks of coffee in sight and that the world-consumption of the fragrant "berry is twenty million sacks per annum. But this fails to make it clear why in the ding busted blazes coffee prices should go up. It sug gests a profiteer's pockctbook some where in the shuffle. There is nothing like enthusiasm although in this case it was peihaus a little overdone. "Yes sir," said the man from out west, "we have some farms out in Nebraska that are quite sizeable. I've seen a man on one of our big farms start out in the spring and plow a straight furrow till fall Then he harvested back. Indeed it is quite usual to send out young married couples to round up and milk the cows. Their children come back with the milk." But the listener had fled. Now we are promised a tax that will make somebody sit up and take notice. An excess-profit tax with 80 per cent as the amount suggested. This will ring the bell good and pi op en Let the men who are making big money pay big percentages. We take this occasion to call the attention of our country contemporaries to the fact that it will bo unwise for them to expand bur.ino.ss beyond oidinnry limits. By a little careful attention they will be able to avoid the excess, without being disloyal. Tho Grand' Island Independent (Re publican) comes oat strongly in sup port of Congressman Ashton C Shallcnberger (Democrat) for re election on a "Win the War" platform, theieby putting patriotism before party. The Independent is to bo com mended for its stand. Congressman Shallcnberger has, in addition to his other services, won distinction as a prominent member of tho house com mittee on military affairs and should be retained in these times when changes of efficient officers are de trimental if not dangerous. Local in- t-ipsts nnd purely paitisan interests should, n the Independent puts it, bo secondarv considerations. To bo an outcast among nations is a terrible punishment. American pcoplo mo to he ar.ked to sign a pledge to refuse to buy goods in Germany. Franco is circulating literature bid ding its people never to forget tho Hun and his works. British Mamcn nro pledging thcmsolvcs never to carry goods to Geimany. A woild boycott is growing. Tho trade of the world and tho hearts of its peoples will bo locked against those who have mndo themselves partners in the crimes ofn wicko(l and reckless gov ernment. When tho wages'-of sin nrq duo and collectable the misguided ha-' tion will find itself in worse stialts than those imposed bysthc n'gors of war. i Up to the front and over the top is lied Cloud's lecord for the lied Cro?s. M He who cuts prices for tho lack of i business will sooner or later cut busi ness for tho lack of prices. In other, words, it is impossible to sell goods nt less than cost and make a howling success out of the long run. I One of the most barbarous edicts of history is added to the long list for which Gorman misgovernment is dir ectly and indiicctly responsible, in an order which tosses tho laws of church and state to the winds, breaks the sacied bonds of family life, and assails the very foundations of civilization, by decreing- that all women except mothers of at least five children, are to became communistic property. Bring the thought home for a moment. Imagine such presumption in control here in the Union, in Nebraska, in Rod Cloud and then you will realize why we are in this war, and why we m ist stay in it without compromise until the brutal Hun is conquered. Mormonism in all its shame of by gone days is gentility in comparison.
