The Patriots of Peace.
Remember what Sherman 'said
about war ? It also applies to In
dependence day and the popping ,
roaring , cracking , whooping , ex
ploding that drives some folks al
most to insanity and means that
we are a nation of patriots and are
so glad of it that every year we
burn tons of powder and maim ,
mutilate and cripple between 4-
f 000 and 5,000 human beings
i mostly boys.
And the popular idea of patriot
ism is war. We are glad we fought
or that our ancestors fought , and
the hair bristles on the back of
our necks , and we feel , by hokey ,
that we can fight again and that
the foreigners from London Town
to Valdivostok had better keep off
the toes of your Uncle Samuel.
Huh !
All right. The navy is growing
and we are spending millions for
target practice and more millions
for great guns. But let's hope
hard that there will never be an
other war , and that widows and
orphans will never again be made
in a strife with other nations or at
home. God grant it , is the pray
er of the millions.
A patriot isn't necessarily a sol
r dier. A man doesn't have to
storm a fort to prove that he loves
his country. That kind of brav
ery is fine. It gets into the pa
pers and there is a thrill of pride
even in the later days when flow
ers are strewn on graves and
women in black weep.
But don't you forget that there
are more patriots today than ever
before. There are millions of
them. They are behind counters
and in shop5 ? ; they are running
locomotives and tilling farms.
They are not thinking much about
war. They have no hatred in
their hearts.
And how is it that they are pa
triots ?
Because they are trying to do
their full duty as American citi
zens. That is how.
They toil till their backs are
stooped and their hands gnarled
and knotted. They rear homes
and honor good women. They
bring up children and educate them.
i
They do not hesitate to deny them
Li
selves to the end that those who
come after them shall find greater
opportunity and fill a better place
in the affairs of the world than did
their parents.
They are fathers and mothers of
progress. They are the bone and
I blood and sinew that make the na
tion strong. They are the.living
exponents of charity , decency ,
energy and human love , and they
are stronger than the combined
armies and navies of the world.
And so , while the explosions in
memory of ' 76 shake the earth , be
glad that you are a worthy mem
ber of that great army The pa
V
t triots of peace.

j The past few days have furnish
ed the kind of weather we have
been wishing for. Such weather

work. We know that his inten
tions are good but sometims bad
luck comes to the prince of good
fellows. However , if he will but
shine forth in all his glory for the
next few weeks , we will pardon
his past bad conduct.

enabled to make you very close
prices , Our friends are invited
to call and inspect the goods.

The depot is receiving a new
shingle roof this week. From the
looks of things it seems that our
petitions in regard to a new depot
have been in vain. We have to
take what we can get from the
railroad company and all we can
do is to bow our heads and say ,
" 0 ! Lord , make us grateful for
what vfQ are about to receive. " It
is to be hoped that in time a com
modious depot will be built that
will be in keeping with other im
provements of our town and a suit
able waiting room for ladies who
are compelled to await delayed
trains.
Under the auspices of the jun
ior normal a picnic will be given

planning to go to this picnic tkan
to any heretofore given. Those

portation. The round trip will be
only 25c. Let everyone bring
their dinners and spend one day
picnicking among the most beauti
ful scenery of Nebraska. The hay
racks will leave Main street at
7 : ? 0 a. m. sharp.
A Correction ,
The article in last week's paper
stating that agent McChesney had
ordered the Frank Curry & Co.
cattle off the reservation after re
fusing all bids for issue cattle ,
was an error upon our part The
facts are , that T. B , Irwin con
tracted for the cattle and leased
grazing privilege on the reserva
tion where they are to be kept
this summer.
