WAR CONFEREES
BACK PRESIDENT
FOR WAR COURSE
Democracy Trying to'Stow Its
Superiority in Present Conflict,
Says Newton; Resolutions
Are Adopted at Lincoln.
' 'A , .i. '. .
(From a Staff Correspondent)
Lincoln, Jin. 19. (Special.)
"Three ernocracies England, France
and Jhe United States, are trying: to
show' that only, under 'democratic
conditions can a nation be prosperous
and nappy,'' is the opinion of G. E,
Newlin, representative of the Na
tionat Council of Defense, who spoke
today before the state and county de
fense meeting in this city, at the war
conference.
Mr; Newlin also said that' the
United States was supreme in its
conceit. A year ago he said 60 per
cent of our people thought that
"after congress declared war it would
be only a matter of 60 days till every
thing' would be settled now, we must
face facts.
He advocated the building of ships
as one of things needed at this time
to insure a successful termination of
the war.
Stand By Wilson. "
The following resolution was
passed, presented ' by , committee
consisting of H. H. Campbell, Folk
county: John H. Morehead, Richard
son; E. O. Weber, Saunders; E. P.
Brown, Lancaster; F. M. Housh,
Antelope:,
"First, we congratulate President
Wilson upon the vigorous prosecu
tion of the war and we, as citizens of
Nebraska, particularly endorse .and
congratulate him upon his last great
message which established without
question the war aims of the United
States at this time, and has set them
out so plainly and boldly that all peo
pie cannot but know that the United
States stands for a world governed by
the people of the smalt state as well
m by the large, inis great state pa
ner will stand as a document which
will' apeak for a unanimous world
with a purpose so definite that the
large state will never again in a world
safe for democracy be allowed to op
press the weak. '
1 Endorse State Council. 1
Second, we endorse and commend
the State Council of Defense for its
general activity in all of its- war
Dolicies and pledge it our hearty co
operation and support in . its further
deliberations. We take particular
pride in endorsing the Stat Council
of Defense for its work in relieving
our public and private school' systems
of what has been a most uh-Ajnericafl
policy, namely, that of the teaching of
the foreign languages in the lower
grades. We believe that this Actiorr
will bring what, should fee flow a
count jy with one. language we en
dorse the action of -the council in
taking steps to secure by initiative
such amendments to our voting laws
as will deny the Tight of suffrage to
all save native born and fully natural
ized citizens of the state, and we call
on all loyal people in our state to
support such measures.
, 1 Let Soldiers Vote. ,!,'
"Third, We are heartily in favor of
securing to our soldiers and sailors
the right to vote, regardless of where
they may be located or of the branch
of service they may be in, and we en
dorse the action of Governor Neville
in taking steps to ascertain whether
, the present law. is adequate to that
purpose, and should it be determined
that it. is not, we pledge him our
hearty, support in calling the legis
lature in special session for tne pur
pose of enacting law broad enough
for that purpose. The entire citizen
ship of Nebraska recognizes the debt
we owe the men who -have entered
and who will enter our country's
service and feel that a great injustice
will b done them should they be de
prived of the privilege of exercising
the right of suffrage, and we believe
the law should be broad enough to
allow "every sailor and soldier from
.Nebraska, serving his 'country, to'
vote regardless of age. ,
s Endorse Censorship. v
"Foiirth, we recognize the pernici
ous effect that a disloyal German
press might have and we heartily en
dorse the censorship being now ex
ercised by the government and com
mend the same, but recognizing the
fact that some German language pa
pers are loyal and doing good, effec
tive work, we do not advocate the
suppression of the German press at
this time, but we do recommend that
any publication in that language
which j persistently ?. attempts to
promulgate seditious or disloyal prin
ciples should be suppressed.

Thrift Stamp Campaign
Is on in Cherry County
Valentine. Neb.. Jan. 19. (Special.
Stimulated by the fine showing that
is being made by the Omaha commit
tee on war savings, and in spite of
the difficulties of travel in Cherry
county, Chairman of War Sayings H.
W. Davenport launched the big cam
paign for the sale of thrift and war
savings stamps here today. Harry
tj. .Palmer, executive secretary to
Ward M.. Burgess, state director of
war savings, reached Valentine last

school and grades here . this after
noon. He also spoke to a mass meet
ing , 'in (the-district courtr opm. Mr
Palmer was in Brown county yester
day and will spend tomorrow h Sher
idan county, where he will speak at
uordon.
Because of the difficulty in reaching
the ranchers in the south section of
Cherry county, Mr. Davenport asked
that these men buy at once without
being called upon the largest amount
possiDie or tne war savings stamps.
Others of the Nebraska counties with
limited rail facilities are having this
same difficulty in selling stamps to
the ranchers and farmers who live
off the railroads, and the county
chairmen are asking that the patriotic
farmers and ranchmen take steps at
once to buy stamps and notify them

They're Champ Corn Growers

Farmers in Burt county smile at

ear was of the red variety, 52 kernels
long and 20 rows around. Both va
rieties were fully matured, there hav
ing ben no soft corn on the farm the

champion ear of the state, is much
larger.

ENGLISH SPEAKER
WINS HEARTS OF ALL
Sir Frederick Smith, Attorney
General of Great Britain,
Impresses Nebraskans by
His Talk.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Jan. 19. (Special.) Few
men have address a Nebraska audi
ence and so completely won the hearts
of the people as did Sir Frederick E.
Smith, attorney general of Great Brit
ain, at the war conference in session
this week. He was a typical British
gentleman, always at ease, but with
an accent which made his address all
the more interesting.
At times he would speak earnestly
and unconventionally to the vast
audience which packed St. Paul Meth
odist church as if he had been talking
to a friend. There was an appeal in
his manner and his words carried
conviction. He felt that America had
just as much at stake as any of the
rest of the allies, but while not speak
ing in a critical way, he believed that
if the United States could have gotten
into the fight before Russia got out
the present mighn have been differ
ent. Nebraska Patriotic.
Mr. Smith said that in all the 12
great centers he had visited in his
hurried trip to the United States,
with one exception the Nebraska
demonstration eclipsed them all. The
world at large had been somewhat
critical of Britain's conduct in the
war- for the reason that little pub
licity taas been given her losses, the
casualty list of Great Britain amount
ing to more than one and one-ilf
minion ot men. tighty-two per cent
of these came from the island of Eng
land alone. He said that it was the
feeling among prominent men of Eng
land that it were better to have
America in the fight, unprepared as
she was, rather than the entire
mobilized forces of Russia. .
He confessed the need of the United
States, her men and her resources in
order to bring the war to a success
ful termination for the allies. He
said that it would be impossible to
teed the American army in France
without a complete organization at
home and that it was a stupendous
task that no country could approach
without dismay, but he knew that the
United states could do it for with its
indomitable tenacity it would accom
plish what it set out to do.
sir Frederick did not think that
there was any chance for peace be
tween uermany and Kussia at any
near luture date.

Suggest Plan For State
To Help in Coal Saving
Lincoln, Jan. 19. (Special.) In the
interests of conservation of light and
fuel a great deal could be saved along
that line by closing the state house
offices a part of each afternoon on
certain days and especially, on those
days when the cold is so severe that
in spite of a constant stuffing of the
furnaces at the heating plant, many
of the offices are too cold for com
fort.
It has been suggested that one or
two days each wee kthe clerks could
work through the noon hour and
quit at 1 or 1:30 and the fires could
then be allowed to subside. By the
closing of the offices two things would
be subserved coal and light for
most of the offices are so poorly
lighted that electricity is burned con
tinuously alt day.
