It Is still true at the present day, however, that a nation to preserve peace must be prepared for war. The country commanding the strongest army and the strongest navy will be feared most.

As soon as It became known that an organiza tion was started which would be the first aerial mllltla In the world not only did all the aviators in this country apply for membership, but applications floated In from persons Interested In the development of the aeroplane. It soon became evident that the United States Aeronautical Re serve was destined to grow beyond the plans and the scope at first laid out.

Hastings Republican (dem ) The Republican believes for the goid of the party as well as clean politics that the leaders of the party In this state should lose no time In politely requesting Mr. Hitchcock to step aside make way for the selection of another who can appeal to voters with a clear conscience and record. The Republican believes the thing for the leaders to do Is to force Hitchcock to step aside and to as quickly as possible cham pion the best man for the senatorial toga and the logical man by the usual precedent of selection is Governor Shallenberger. The Republican knows whereof It speaks when it says that Governor Shallenberger has ihown the better Judgment In not commit ting himself to unreserved supKrt of Dahl man.

They won the American league banner In 1002, but there Was lio world's series that year. Five years ago the New York Nationals were too strong for them. So In this year of grace It was ill tho cards that they were to be denied. While the series was not the most pro fitable ever played. It helps to simplify the high cost of living problem confronting even such heroes as the Philadelphia, to say nothing of the Chlcagos, with winter coming on. The players' share of the monoy amounts to 179,071.93. Of this 60 per cent, or 147.843.15 goes to the winners and Wl.S.'S.il to the losers. Game by Innings.

At tho sama time we appealed to the democratic state committee to remove from the democratic ticket the nnme of Treasurer Hartley's parther In the treaiiury shortage, and put VP the 'name of soma worthy democrat wlioliaii not bad any thing to do with the slatireasury defeca tion. "Mr. Hitchcock, thn partner of Bartley In the state treasury shortage, was unable to refute the positive evidence against him. t'nder advice of a most cunning lawyer ho mado an explanation which has been thn laughing stock of the state, because. In stead of helping him out of thn mire. It caused him to sink deeper into the mud of his own shame. Like every offender against the law, Mr.' Hltchcovk became very angry when the evidence arahiBt htm was published In cold type. In bin anger he bitterly denounced his partner in the treasury shortago. and referred to Bart ley as a blackmailer. For reply to Mr. Hitchcock's denial of his partnership with Bartley. the ex-stats treasurer sent to Chairman Byrnes of the democratic state committee a request that he be permitted to appear before the com mittee and submit further evidence re garding Mr. Hitchcock's partnership with Bartley In the disappearance of the public money from the state treasury. Afraid ot the Proofs. "Did Chairman Byrnes accept the offer of Bartley to furnish further proof of the partnership between Hitchcock and Bart ley? Not much! Chairman Byrnes is a very able and artful political manager. He knows that Hitchcock Is In a bad boat, leaking at every crack. He knew tleu Hitchcock would not dare face his partner In the treasury shortage In a hearing be fore the committee. And then he did the next best thing he could do tor his client He wrote tiie motion for a continuance and sent it to the papers for publication. "Let us hasten to congratulate Chairman Byrnes upon his ability vtn defense of a confessed sharer with Hartley in the treas ury shortage. That letter stamps Chair man Byrnes as a keen lawyer. We have no quarrel with Chairman Hyrnes for writ ing the letter. He has accepted the Job of defending Hartley's partner In the state treasury shortage, and we believe he Is putting up a defense aa good as Judge Sullivan ever put up- in behalf of any criminal. "All The Telegram started out to ac complish in thla matter was to submit to the public the positive proof of his partner ship between Hitchcock and Hartley In the business of making the money ot the people dlwappear from the state treasury. We have accomplished our task. It la not our fault that the state committee lias not forced Bartley's partner to get out of the senatorial race. state MUI Holds Sack. "And1 now we have further proceedings In the matter to the two partners. We du not know what the result of the quarrol between the two partners may be. We do know that Partner Hitchcock Mill owes the staie of Nebraska many thousands of dol lars, interest and principal, representing money borrowed from Htats Treasurer Bartley. "Perhaps Hartley's partner, fl. M. Hitch cock, may be able to win his way to a seat in the United States senate, there to lend companionship to Lo'rimer. We do not believe it. Thousands of Nebraska demo crats have hoped that the rtate. committee would force Mr. Hartley's partner off the democratic .ticket, and nominate In his place some democrat for whom democrats might cant a vote and not be ashamed. All hope In that direction is now dcd. All that is now left for democrats will be to write upeii the blank line oil the election ballot the name of some dean democrat as tlielr choice for I'nlted states senator.
