Will Celebrate the 4th.

The grand old bird of freedom
will scream on the 4th of July in
two more villages in the county
in addition to those reported in
the REPUBLICAN last week, name
ly: New Helena and Ansley.
Six towns in the county shoot
ing fire crackars and oratory on
the National holiday ought to be
sufficient evidence that Custer is
occupied by truly patriotic class
of citizens. You can have a rip
snortiHg time-and that's what
you ought to be looking for on
the 4th-by going to any of the
following named places:
Merna
Ansley
Comstock
Anselmo
Galloway
New Helena

Some of those who made such
a fight on the Capitalization of
the federal government, appear
to overlook the fact that the
states are quite favorable to the
plan. 1t relieves them Of a lot
of detail and worry and some ex-
pense Quarantine regulations
are a case in point. No one
doubts but that the work is bet
ter done by the federal govern.
ment than by the different states,
despite the fact that it is inva'
sion of state rights. Pure food
inspection, maximum railroad
rates and many other things come
under the same class. Under the
head of interstate commerce more
crimes have been committed by
the federal government against
states rights than under any 9th
er guise. The necessity for uni
form legislation along such lines
IS, however, so apparent that pro-
test is limited to the minority.

Those physicians who advocate
an exchange of certificates Of
healthfulness before two young
people can osculate, must be cold
blooded SCIENTISTS. That would
be entirely too formal and BUSH
ness like. Just imagine young
man who is out riding with a
charming, rosy-cheeked, red
Tipped maiden-just yearning for
caress! Just think how prosaic
and unsatisfying it would be to
ask her to see her certificate be.

Then suppose she had forgotten
to put it in her stocking and

Nebraskans are interested in
the fight between the cattlemen
and the packers. The latter
decline longer to purchase female
cattle except conditional on being
declared sound on post-mortem
tests. Live stock dealers refuse
to ship under the conditions i'm
posed. AS result the trade is
at a standstill. Live stock men
want a sale, once made, to be
binding. The packers feel they
have already lost too much by
purchasing diseased cattle. 1t
is a fight to a finish, and one
side will have to capitulate.
Nebraska stockmen will naturally
wish the matter to be determined
before the fall shipping season.

Something Radically Wrong.

Only four passenger trains re-
ported wrecked during the past
week in the United States with a
dozen people killed and more than
one hundred wounded. Of course
that old chestnut, San official
investigation will be made" is
made in each case. How many
freight trains went into the ditch
and the number of trainmen
killed and crippled for life is not
published. There is something
radically wrong in the railway
service of this country and
official investigation that will
locate the cause-before many
moreloccur-should be made.

The Woman's club of Omaha
has asked the officials to order
the removal from store windows
of the imitation women's legs
used to display fancy hosiery.
Nature has probably not built
the extremities of the members
of the club as perfectly as the
manufacturers of the imi.
tations and they do not want
their husbands to know the vast
difference between shapely imi-
tation stocking-filler and the
bowed and ill-shaped ones nature
has conferred on them.

Reckless shooting is reducing
the population. Nearly every
day fatal accidents are reported
from the careless handling of
firearms. Recently a Pennsyl-
vanian, who had already shot his
grandmother, added another
notch to his gun by killing his
Swear old daughter while clean
his shooting iron. In this state
numerous instances, having fatal
results, have been reported.
The cheap, small calibre rifles
are usually the weapons that
are responsible for the killings.

JAPAN WANTS ALL
FOR THE CONQUEROR
LIKELY TO HAVE STIRRING CON-
TROVERSY WITH RUSSIA AND
UNITED STATES ON OTHER SIDE.

NEW YORK, June ia Vienna dis
patch quotes a delegate to The Hague
conference, said to be the representa-
tive of a great power as declaring that
Japan is to hurl a bomb into the con-
ference by bringing forward the ques-
ton of the right of conqueror to an
mex territory subjugated with all that
is upon it.
"This will be warmly denied by both
Russia and the United States" the Her
AIDS informant is quoted as saying.
The Russians have large private prop
critics in Manchurfa and the United
States considerable mining and other
interests in Korea. OF such interests
Japan proposes to deprive them. AT
all events that is to be the object OF
her proposition.
"The United States proposes to bring
motion Numerically opposed to that
of Japan and this, in view of the pres
ent existing friction between Japan and
America, it is easy to see, contains all
the making Of a first-class interna-
tional row."

WILL NOT FIGHT
FOR CITIZENSHIP
JAPANESE IMMIGRANTS AT LOS
ANGELES DECIDE NOT TO TEST
NATURALIZATION LAWS.

LOS ANGELES, June 11.-Japanese
immigrants who threatened a week
ago to bring mandamus proceedings
against the County Clerk to compel
him to issue first papers to Japanese
applicants for citizenship in the Unit
ed States, have abandoned their pur-
pose and announce today that they
will accept without further contest the
ruling of the Department OF Immigra-
ton that subjects of the Mikado must
not be granted the privileges of citi-
zenship.
Kato Bahia, secretary of the Japa-
nese Association of Los Angeles, is
chiefly responsible for the decision of
the local Japanese.
For my own part" said Secretary
Bahia, Il do not believe that it is
necessary for the Japanese to struggle
for citizenship here. Our advice for
the men is to get out into the country
and go to work. We urge them to
take up lines of work that are not
crowded by white men, and in the
pursuit of those lines the Japanese
have been successful. They grow first
class fruit and berries of all kinds
and make good farmers"
