Brave Words, Will Seeds Follow t
Secretary Lansing has forwarded to Senor
Carranza, "first chief" and de facto head of the
Mexican government, a declaration of intent on
part of thit government that jutt falls short of
being a flat declaration of war. It tkillfully leavet
to the Mexican leadert a choice of declaring war
on the United States or unquestioning compliance
with our wishes. In all human probability, it
will be met with much the same treatment at has
been accorded to other communication! tent from
Washington to the various headquarters of the
migratory governments of Mexico during the last
three yeart. The only letters from Washington
treasured in Mexico were those thanking Vill
for hit "tervicet to humanity," and notifying Car.
ranza that to him had been extended recognition
withheld from othert quite at worthy. , More
Mexican side-stepping will bring the question
squarely back to the White Houte. Are the
brave wordt to be tupported by deedt, or
"manana" to be substituted for "watchful wait

Organise Hughes and Fairbankt Clubs.
The editor of The Bee is in receipt of a letter
from a prominent Nebraska republican residing
in the western part of the state, in which, among
other things, he sayt:
"I am for auick organization of Huarhea and
Fairbankt clubt. We must have a rallying point
for votert, and particularly the young voters
ana tne new voters. Have you any organization
blanks? If to, tend me tome."
The suggestion it timely and to the point. The
nomination of Hughet and Fairbankt hat been
enthusiastically received bv republicans everv
where! and nowhere more so than in Nebraska,
and all elements of the party are ready to take
hold for a winning campaign.
There should be a Hughes and Fairbanks club
organized without delay in every live town in
the state. It should be organized on broad lines
to take in every one willing to enlist under the
Hughes and Fairbanks banner, and it should sig
nalize the complete reunion of the regulart and
progressives.
No intricate constitution and by-lawt are
needed; we submit the following at a simple plan:
1. The name of thit organization shall be The
Hughet and Fairbankt Club.
2. All qualified votert of are eligible
to membership upon tigning the roll and
pledging their active tupport to Hughet and
Fairbankt.
3. The officer! of the club shall consist of presi
dent, vice president, tecretary and treasurer,
who, together with five members, shall con
stitute the executive committee in full charge
of all work of the club in the campaign.
4. Expentet of the club shall be. met by volun
tary contribution.
"' Hurrah for Hughet and Fairbanks! Let Ne.
braska republicans get busy and there will be no
question about Nebraska's 1916 electoral vote be
ing registered in the republican column.
Don't Huddle the Amendment
Attorney General Reed it in considerable tra
vail as to the exact wording of the ballot on which
win appear the initiated amendment that is to
provide for state-wide prohibition. Just at the
moment a three-cornered argument is in prog
ress. The prohibitionists ask for one form of
wording, the antis for another, and the attorney
general ia contending for a third. . What the
voters will want is a ballot that shows on its face
what is being voted on. It is well understood that
State-wide prohibition ia aimed at: tn annrnaeh
it by subterfuge it unworthy, while to' defeat it hv
a technicality it equally unworthy. The matter
should be put to the votert squarely on itt meritt,
and let the decision stand at an honest enreaeinn
of sentiment. To clutter up the ballot with clauses
the meaning of which is to be determined later by
court action, is not to comply with the spirit of
tne initiative law, which means, if it means any
thing, that istuet mutt be presented to nlainlv
that "he that runt may read," and reading, under,
stand. The simplest form possible it the best: if
jutt the phrate, "prohibition amendment," would
comply with the law, it would be the better form
tor tne oauot.
Wake Up, Governor Morehead!
Governor Morehead ahould wake up to the
fact that hit adminittration it being scandalized
by the high-handed operations of his man in
charge of the food and oil inspection department
endeavoring to perpetuate himtelf in hit fat office.
Thit political inspector it grossly .misusing hit
authority to force tradesmen and other interests
subject to his official supervision to sign up a
petition for a constitutional amendment to fortify
himself in a six-year job with autocratic powers.
The shamelestness of the proceeding is properly
denounced by the Platte Center Signal, which ia
a good democratic paper of which Chris Gruen-
ther is editor, as follows:
Clarence E. Harman. the state food and oil
inspector, is using his entire force of deputies
(at the expense of the ttate) to circulate peti
tions for submission of a constitutional amend
ment which, if it carries, will leave Mr. Harman
in office for the next six veart. The petitions
are given by the deputies to grocers, druggists,
creamery people, oil and gasoline dealers, with
the request that they be promptly circulated
and signatures secured. These business people
seem to comply promptly with the selfish po
litical request of Commissioner Harman. Their
business is subject to inspection by Harman's
department, and the reason for the speedy and
effective circulation of the Harman petition is
obvious. The Signal regards this aa the most
cunning and shsmeful piece of coercion ever
practiced by a public servant in Nebraska, and
it is being practiced under heavy expense with '
the money of the people. When rood Com
missioner Harman began the publication of his
Food Journal," and filled it with the advertise
ments of big food producing concerns which are
under his inspection, we deemed that of doubt
ful propriety ,and this later misuse of a public
trust for purely personal gain calls for a halt by
Governor Morehead on this highly improper
method employed by Commissioner Harman
to retain himself in othce.
This performance by Food Commissioner Har
man would be on a par with an attempt by the
secretary of the Banking board, for example, to
compel the banks subject to examination under
is direction to make him a life-tenure bank com
missioner by constitutional amendment, or by
the insurance commissioner to force insurance
companies and their agents to do the tame for
The thing for Governor Morehead to do is to
put a stop to further misconduct on the part of
is food commissioner by separating him forth
with from his job, which separation would at
once make him lose all interest in hit proposed
eonttitutional amendment' . -

TNASMUCH at Leo. the popular sien of th
X equally popular odiac, wat about to get up on
hit hind feet at 12 a. m.( meaning high noon)
on Friday, April 11, 1862, and the well-known
tun was potted in the Tenth Mansion of th
Heavens, which is the Zodiacal sien of Aries am
the home of the popular planet Mart, it is all
settled that Charles E. Hughes will be the next
president of these United States. Call off the St.
Louit convention. Pack up the campaign banners
and speeches and the lithographs, and close up
tne capaign headquarters, and let the secretary
cast a single ballot so that the rest of us can
take election day off. Prof. Gustave Meyer of
noooxen, w. J., American Scientific Astrologer,
has been star-gazing again and it's all over but
the shouting.
He can predict almost anything, Prof. Meyer
can. it woman t oe possiple to sit down and tell
everytning that s happened after lie predicted
would, but it may be noted in passing that it was
Mever who foretold the coming of cold weather
ann snow last winter, and the warm days and
thunder showers this summer, and in ever so
many other ways established his claim to being
absolutely right on a lot of important questions
oi tne aay.
Will President Wilson's latest military move
make the Mexicans any more friendlv or anv less
tuspiciout of American designs upon them? That
is another question which will have to answer
itself.
Nestled among hit charts and astrological
iiupcuiincnia in tne parior ot ins noDoken od
tervatory today, the American scientific astro
loger, consented to relieve the suspense that
hat existed in certain political quarters ever
since nominating day in Chicago. For days and
. oic nu uccn uciving into nis arcnives to
establish the following indisputable facts:
That Charlet E. Hughes first taw the light
of day at Glent Falls, N. Y., Friday, April 11,
1862, a. m. (meaning high noon); that Theodore
Kooseveit was born in New York City, Wed
nesday, October 27, 1858, at .11:45 a. m.; and
tnat WOOdrOW Wilson was hnrn at Staimtnn Vi
Sunday. December 28. 1856. at 11:35 a. m.
"1 find," mused the professor, "that the best
of the three nativities is that of Charles E.
Hughes, as he was born with the Zodiacal sign
of Leo rising, and aa the ruling planet of this
tign it the Sun, hence the Sun will be his ruling
planet through life at the Sum was posted
in the Tenth Mansion of the Heaven nr far
above the earth, or on the Meridian, this signifies
mat ne was oorn to rise in life far above his
station as birth, or from the hnttnm in h in
of the ladder of honor, success, and fame."
"And as the Sun was posted in the Zodiacal
sign of Aries, which is the home of the planet
Mars, hence Mr. Hughes will always be inspired
uy me most nonoraDie just, ana upright mo
tives, and will possess an intense and patriotic
pun, ana wm oe quite nrm out gentle m every
thing he ever says or does and can make himself
leit witnout saying a word, and wh e he will
create many secret and public enemies through
his keen sense of honor, right, and justice, and al
ways standing for what is fair, right, and just,
he will make more friends than enemies and his
enemies will only enhance his presence by their
vile and low methods of attack, and he wilt fre
quently be elected to posts of great honor al
ternately through life, if not re-elected president
wi me umicu states lour years hence.
The sentence was cut short in order tn n,;
the grat astrologer to get up and and close the
window. After scanning a few books, ' he re
sumed :

When Roger waters. workman em

went to the reteue of an employe of an
other company who wai buried In a cave-in,
he- voluntarily rifked hl lift and wu killed.
He did not wait for order. Nothing in his
contract required falm to try to save the
other man. He was brave and generous
by Instinct, and he acted from a natural
sense of duty to his fellows. And he lost
bis life.
In upholding the award made by the
Workmen's Compensation commission for
Waters' death the court of appeals took the
just and reasonable view. Waters did
what every employer in the circumstances
would look for his men to do. The emer
gency prompted him to render aid in a way
that a self respecting employer should
praise and gladly reward, not eondemn out
of selflflh regard for his own pocket.
There is a growing disposition on the
part of the courts to be more humane in
their interpretation of laws for the protec
tion of workmen. In former days it would
have been sufficient to prove that Waters
did not come to his death through the negli
gence of his employer. It was actually
contended by the company that employed
him and the insurance company which car
ried the insurance that his fatal injuries
did not result from his employment. On
that theory it would be necessary to look
for cowardice, not heroism or self sacrifice.
from workmen facing danger, because their
employers demanded It.
The court of appeals makes short work
of that supposition. "It is inconceivable
that any employer should expect or direct
his employes to stand still while the life of
a fellow workman a few feet away was im
perilled. It takes account of human
ture. It recognizes the moral responsibili
ties assumed by men working side by side;
it justifies them and holds them up to em-
ployers who seek to evade the law as ad
mirable and praiseworthy.

- And presently
A gong will ring here like a doomsday bell
And through these doors, like winds that
shake the woods
Sons of the wind and daughter of the
dawn,
Eternal, joyous, unafraid, comes youth;
Youth from a million colored realms of Joy,
Youth storming up the world with flying
hair
And laughter like a rose-red deluge spilled
Down dawn-lit heavens, burning all the
Problem- of llurht and soundl
Why, what care they.

For theories of sound themselves the

Round every corner flits a flying foot.
Alluring laughter shaken fancy-free
In sliver bells that break upon the air

lips
Parted, and sparkling eyes, the young men
follow
Follow the swift-foot, laughter-loving
nymphs
Whose eyelids hold the worldl Problems

Problems of light I am sick of light and

HIS FIRST CAR-

Sputter, sputter, O my car.
While I marvel what you are.
With your inwards so complex
Mind of simple me to vex.

They say a spark plug haa a crack.
They say the "timing" la amine;
They say It s that, they say It's thin
(But I don't know!)
And when you've rome to me O. K.'d,
Your latest "readjustments" made,
In lack of other prime abettor
They blame It on the carburetor.
(How do I nx the darnea tntng?)
Sputtor, sputter. O my carl
mystery beyond me far.
Of vagaries as yet untried.
My hope, my fear, my shame, my pnae.
(Why did I get you, anyway?)
Your role to halt on public track,
The while I rubber on my back;
And when I should be gaily spinning
I'm down amidst your underpinning!
(And all the world laughs!)
A Plain Statement of Fact
Any reliable merchant will now tell you, if you
will ask him, that right now wholesale market prices
are that a steady rise is to continue for some time. In
addition to this, mills, plants and factories are most
all of them oversold, and merchandise is hard to get,
of them oversold, and merchandise is hard to get,
even though the price is higher, and it is with diffi
culty that the retail merchant meets such a situation
in a way to take care of his own and his customers'
interests at one and the same time. These are some
of the reasons why we took over the great stock of
the Security Storage and Wholesale Furniture Dis
tributing Warehouse at Waterloo, Iowa. True, our
own buyer might not have made the same selections
had he been buying for "Raymond's" of the manu
facturer direct, but every piece in this purchase is
well selected merchandise, produced by as good fac
tories as the whole country affords.
In buying this great quantity of Furniture, Rugs and
House Furnishings, we have safeguarded our customers'
Interests as well as our own. By so doing we are actually
placing within your reach values that represent to you
directly a saving of from 25 to 3313 (figured on a per
cent basis), on your Furniture purchases which you may
make at this time. This purchase, added to our already
large stock, which is likewise all very new and contracted
for early in the year before the big advances took place
in the Eastern markets, makes a stock nothing short of
enormous in magnitude, and second to none in the West
in quality. A visit to our store now will appeal to the
visitor, although he is not a buyer (and he or she is most
welcome always at Raymonds). To those who have
Furniture purchases to make now or in the near future,
you cannot afford to miss this opportunity, or even to
delay coming now to the store and see for yourself what
awaits you here.
