TO DETERMINE
MINERAL RIGHTS
Nebraska Refining and Pipe
Line Company to Start Friend
ly Suit Against the
State.
(From Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, , Sept. 18. 'Special.) A
friendly suit will be started by the Ne
braika Refining and Pipe Line com
pany, which has a lease secured from
the state for the use of water from
lakes on state land, to determine the
rights of the state board to grant
mineral leases covering state lands
already leased for other purposes. .
Nearly all state lands are leased for
agricultural .or grazing purposes, but
the leases do not state for what pur
posses leased. The board has been
making leases of these lands for the
working of the potash industry from
lakes thereon situated. without regard
to the previous lease and it will be for j
the purpose oi testing trie rignis oi
the board on these leases that the
case will be brought, probably in the
state supreme court that the matter
may be settled quickly.
The Nebraska company, of which
W. S. Ridgell is president, proposes
to put in a $300,000 plant for the pro
duction of potash, with a capacity of
100 tons per day. At the present high
price of potash this would bring into
the state a' royalty of about $1,250 a
day. The Nebraska company, has an
option on thirty sections of land from
which it must select the five sections
it desires..
From now on by a new ruling of
the board no one company can secure
an option on more thanfive sections
to select from. This is done to pre
vent any one company from securing
a monopoly on the potash lakes of
the state.

TO PROTECT BOYS
BY MORATORIUM
Uncle Sam May Decide to Sus
pend the Civil Laws to
Help the Khaki
Clad Boys.
(Br Associated Frees.)
Washington, Sept. 17. Legislation
to protect the civil and property
rights of soldiers, in effect a
moratorium for he duration of the
war in behalf of men who are serving
their country on the firing line, may
be placed upon the administration
program for this session of congress
as a necessary element of the raising
of a citizen army.
The soldiers and sailors civil
rights bill," to carry out this purpose,
already has been introduced in ootn
houses, having been framed in the
office of Judge Advocate General
Crowder. Secretary Baker, .it was
learned today, has under considera
tion recommendations that the entire
weight of administration influence be
broueht to bear to obtain early enact
ment of the measure. To save sol
diers and sailors from all kinds of
legal injustices during their absence
from home, the measure would en
join the carrying out of certain civil
court actions until after trie close ot
the war and establish as a legal ex
cuse for failure to carry out certain
contracts, the fact that a man is in the
military service.
Stands on creditors.
It is oroDOsed that creditors' suits
against officers or men may be held
up and judgment by default denied,
the framers of the. bill recognizing
that a man in the army or navy would
have no opportunity to make his de
fense in person or to arrange for its
proper hearing through counsel.
If such a judgment rested against
a man at the time of his enlistment
the bill would prevent its execution
through the sale of his property dur
ing his absence. It would set aside the
statute of .limitations so that a debt
owed to a soldier might not be out
lawed in his absence; it would prevent
the eviction of his family while he
was awav if he failed to pay the rent;
it would protect his equity in any real
estate or other purchase contract in
which he might have been engaged at
the time he went into the army; it
would protect him. against the ordi
nary result- of defaulted payments on
business mortgages and keep mm
from being sold out in his absence;
it would insure any rights he might
have to public lands although his
service at the front had prevented him
from completing the legal acquisition
of the property.
Another element of protection" the
bill would accord to the fighting man
would be a to his life insurance,
which could not lapse through failure
to make any payments. His property
also wpuld be protected from sale,
ior taxes ana in every oiner way
which the leeal experts of the War
department have been able to devise,
all civil rights and interests of men;
in the military service would be safe
guarded. -V '".. !';,.;
Knitting Yam Takes J .
T v R n rirrm in Price
sF W ejej ill per ew
New York, Sept 18. Feminine
knitters of articles of wearing "apparel
for soldiers and sailors are beginning
to worry about the high cost of being
patriotic ,
An increase of 20 cents a hank tn
the price of wool today put it at the
$1 mark.
Since April the price per pound has
risen from $1.50 to $2.40 to the Red
Cross and other relief organizations
that are supplied by the manufactur
ers and wholesalers at the lowest fi
gures. In all the relief societies the policy
prevails of asking the knitter of wool
to return her finished garment to the
society.
Consequently, if the knitter wishes
to present her own particular hero
with something of her own making
she cannot get wool at the reduced
prices offered by the relief societies.
Manufacturers attribute ; the rise
partly to the fact that the government
now is using much1 raw wool for uni
forms and to the higher wages paid
mill labor.
Increase Appropriations

Washington. Sept 18. The house

The secretary of war was author
ized to incur obligations aggregating
$100,000,000 for ordnance and ord
nance supplies, in addition to appro
priations made or pending.

include smal arms, target practice,

phy has been used to defend the
crimes of Prussianism and to produce
a conception in the state which would
place the Hohenzollern in a position
to outrage the public opinion of the
world with impunity, or it can be used
to promote a conception of universal
justice.
Philosophy then may be used to
explain and justify the acts of God,
the devil or the German kaiser. It is
therefore the duty of an educational
institution in the war to provide the
right kind of scholarship, the rieht
kind ot historical inquiry, the right
kind ot presentation and the right
kind of interpretation of historical
events.
"Yet in bringing forward our heavy
intelligence artillery we know that in
battles the infantry frequently suffers
from artillery operating under the
same flag. It is therefore exceedingly
desirous that we turn all of our artil
lery against the enemy and not
against our friends and fellow com
rades. Dropping the figure, let me ex
plain exactly what I mean under this
condition. Abuse of those who were
not originally with us, but who are
now manfully standing for the Ameri
can cause, is in times of war foolish.
Not all the signers of the declaration
of independence wrote in the same
firm hand and with the same size
script.
Not a Race War.
"Let us never forget that this is
not a race war, but a war of ideals.
Freedom and derrooracv are fi&rhtinsr
their most desoerate and oerhaos their
last battles with conquest and autoc
racy. Fate has placed the German
people in Europe on the side of autoc
racy. Fate has placed the Americans
of German descent on the side of de
mocracy, and the most of them are
loyally responding. To bear a Ger
nam name in America is both a chal
lenge and an opportunity.
We are engaged now in a world
war with the imperial government, the
strongest military organization that
has ever been built up. While we are
fighting the government only and not
the people, we must recoenize that
this government is supported by the
people who by a process of strenu
ous training for forty years have been
preparing for world conquest. We are
facing a combination of rugged hon
esty in the people and rank deceit in
official circles. Wc are facing a gov
ernment which has carried on a propa
ganda of intrigue all over the world
and has invented and repealed official
lies so often that those responsible
for them have almost come to be
lieve their own fabrications.
Duty o2 University.
"One duty of th university is. then.
to enlighten our own people on the
issues of the war. Let us hope. too.
that some gleam oi this universal en-
licntenment may penetrate even mto-
Germany itself. Generally speaking,
then, what the world needs in enlight-!
enment, and what our fellow citizens
afflicted with foreignisra need is edu
cation.' ' ' ""'
As I said before, not all can share
the place of special danger and spe
cial honor. Probably 3 per. cent of
our lotal population at most will have
the privilege of fighting ..for their
country. ; A study of modern battles
shows that when equally trained and
equally equipped, there is Jittle inher
ent difference in the natural efficiency
of soldiers from different countries.
The main difference lies with the sup
port which comes to' them from
home.' " " . ' .
It is Different Now.
"Some years "before the" beginning
of the great war I'made a public ad
dress in which I pointed out the
superiority of certain things in Ger
many over corresponding things j in
America. My purpose was entirely
patriotic and no one thought of crit
icising me. If I should deliver cer
tain paragraphs of that same address
now it would be justly regarded as
disloyal, because if it had any ef
fect at all it would have the tendency
of weakening the determination to
support our own country to the ut
most during the present war. I
would say, again, that this is no time
for academic discussion. ,
"War time, then, is no time for the
university, the state or the nation to
spend its efforts and its energies on
internal social problems except those
that come from the war itself. It is a
time for us to see that immediate jus
tice is done, that the burdens of the
war are equally distributed and that
no one uses the time for self-aggrandizement.
It is a time for the accept
ance of leadership. It is aUime when
we should support the leaders chosen
by the majority and render them the
most loyal support . ' '
Criticises Pacifists.
"If I may be permitted during war
times to make one criticism of the
Anglo-Americans I would say that we
might perhaps have avoided partici
pation in the, war if the real virility
and manhood of the race had spoken.
The wisdom of the imperial German
government in some of its own con
duct has only been equaled by its
stupidity in foreign affairs. If the
Anglo-Saxon world had not allowed
its pacifists to create the impression
that there was little robust manhood

left in England and in America. I
doubt whether war would ever have
been declared.
"In my judgment the way now to
bring about peace is to convince the
imperial German government that we
intend to fight to the last man and
to the last dollar, that there is no limit
to our courage, our resolution and our
devotion. And one of the way to do
this is to stop this clamor for now
side-stepping the war and concluding
an inglorious peace.
ror peace now would mean an
armed truce, a mere delay before
bloodier contest for the supremacy of
the world and a long postponement
ot the realization of our ideals, reace
is a thing greatly to be desired. We
all want peace, but it must be peace
with honor and peace with victory.
Aimless grasping for peace, embar
rassing the president of the United
States in his relation with our allies
by demanding a specific statement of
what we are fighting for, talking un
necessarily about war, its cost and its
horrors, indulging in loose talk about
the evils of militarism, making no dis
tinction in ouP public utterances be
tween hosts of heaven and hosts of
hell, all this is near disloyalty to the
cause of the United States, the cause
of freedom, the cause of humanity
and the cause of civilization in the
present connct.
Vf-mally, 1 think that we should
cultivate in these troublesome times
a spirit of optimism. Great as was
the suffering and loss of life in the
revolution we would not blot it from
our national history."

Governor Concludes Direct
Testimony Without Beference
to Charge of Official '
Misconduct. .
t
Austin, Tex., Sept. 18. Curiosity as
to whether Governor James E. Fer
guson's counsel would ask him about
$156,500 in
which he re-
currency
ceived in loans from unknown friends
in the early months of this year was
the prevailing sentiment around, the
capital today as the senate high court
of impeachment reconvened. Yester
day, when article No. 11 of the bill of
impeachment, charging that the gov
ernor's failure to explain the source
of the cash loans constituted official
misconduct, was reached, W. H. Han
ger, the governor's chief counsel,
passed it by and proceeded to consid
eration of article No. 12.
Article No. 11 is one of the five ar
ticles which tire governor has not
yet covered. He is expected to con
clude his direct testimony today. If
No.. 11 is not touched, legislative lead
ers expect that the chief executive
will refuse, as he did in the house, to'
answer any questions that may be put
on the cross-examination. . .
' Of course the governor may dis
cuss the matter fully. In that event
there would be no need for contempt
proceedings and the senate would
not, as has been suggested, recess unr
til the governor would be willing to
disclose the desired information.
Governor Ferguson concluded his
direct testimony this afternoon with
out having made any reference to the
eleventh charge against him that in
refusing to tell who loaned him $156.
