FELL OFF THE TRAIN

Last Mondays afternoon passcn-
ger train out of Wabuska carried
a passenger Try the name of Kelly
On top Of the day coach. Kelly is
not the head Of the I. W. w. army
but undoubtedly belongs to it.
Some miles out Of Wahuska there
is considerable water along the
tra:k and in some manner Kelly
was Jared from his scat on the
coach and fell into the lake. The
train cree did nat notice what had
happened, but some of the passen-
gers did, and when the train reach
ed Churchill station word was sent
back to Wabuska. A few hours
later Kelly appeared in Wabuska,
apparently mono the worse off for
his bath.-YeringtOn Times.

APRIL, The War MONTH

A Washington dispatch of the
18th says:
A historical coincidence was dis.
covered here today in that the At
lantic fleet is due to reach Tampico
on the sixteenth anniversary of the
declaration Of war between Spain
und the United States, on April 81,
1898.
The Spanish war was actually de-
clared by the passage Of a Joint re.
solution in Congress April, 90 but
the declaration was annotated to be
in effect on April 2lst, congress
declaring that war had existed since
the 2lst, when McKinlcy's ultima
tum to Spain was rejected. il was
also noted that the Revolutionary
war began April l9th, and the
Mexican war April Gath and the
Civil war April 18th.

"REARST OR WILSON"

William Randolph Hearst. says
the Bulletin, has lately been in
viting a comparison between two
men-Woodrow Wilson and himself
and between two standards OF
patriotism-his own and that Of
of Woodrow Wilson" Yes, that is
just what Hearst has been doing
for a year. and is doing now; and.
as the Bulletin we'll points out,
Hearst has contrived to do that
'by his own viruleEt assaults, by
methods long ago disavowed by
honorable men, upon the presl-
dents personal integrity. Of Presi-
dent Wilson, the Bulletin, which
is not a Democratic paper says:
But the president did m Of
the most courageous things and one
of the most dangerous things that
d public man can do. He changed
his mind. This is the worst charge
against him. His action vas incon-
sistent with an obscure plank in a
platform with which mt one voter
in a thousand could have been
familiar. And to the little minds
inconsistency condemns itself.
mo reasonable man, whatever
his opinion of tie sOundness Uf the
presidents decision, a doubt the
sincerity-and integrity of the presi-
dents motives. No national exc
cutive since Lincoln has given evil
dence of a loftier conception of the
obligations of his high Office. He
stands head and shoulders above
the ethical traditions of his party.
Every public man in Washing
ton knows this, and William Ran
dolph Hearst knows it. If it were
not true, the presidents control
over congress which is essentially
the result of his moral and intcllec.
tual qualities, would vanish in tie
~twinkling Of an eye.
Every assault upon the presi
dents personal integrity in The
tolls controversy, on the part 0.
men familiar with the actual situa
tion in Washington. is therefore
nothing short of a lie. 1t is q lii
to accuse him Of sUbseryicnc, L
British interests at the expense Of
our own; it is a lie to accuse hin
of lending himself to the machina
tons of interested railroads. Tn,
men who make these charges know
that they are not true"

[HE FARMER AND THE TARIFF

That ancient G. o P. fairy tale
that protection was responsible for
the farmers prosperity has been
smashed to smitberecns by plain.
cold market quotations since the
Underwood low tariff became a
law.
Corn, under the Democratic
tariff, last February averaged Is
cents a buShel higher on the Chi
cago market than during the cor
responding month Of 1918. under
the Republican tariff. Wheat, I'M
der the Democratic tariff in Feb
ruary 1914, averaged about 3 cents
q bushel higher than it averaged in
February 1913 u-der the Repuhli-
can tariff Law. Hogs averaged As
cents per hundrcd-weight higher in
February. 1914, than in February
1912. Cattle averaged Is cents
per hundred weight higher in Feb
ruary Of this year than in the same
month last year. The market prices
uf the foregoing products are in
each case higher today than the
average price of the last four years.

prosperous. how does it happ,n
that he is getting more for his pro-

The answer is simply that the

OPEN THE STREETS

The Southern Pacific is building
an extension or the east end of the
freight depot and will roof over the
platform connecting the freight
depot with the Hcsson company's
warehouse to the east. These
buildings and the platform to be
rooted over arc all in the streets of
the town. The platform on the
west end Of the freight house is 10
Fifth street and the Ilcsson ware.
house is in Sixth street. These
buildings and the old mill are OBJ
stacles to the DEVELOPMENT and
growth of the town and should
he removed. The property owners
facing that portion Of the railroad
should start IN agitation for the
removal of these buildings and the
opening Of Fifth and Sixth streets.
In such an agitation We believe
they would have almost the solid
backing of the town.
A petition should be prepared
and circulated asking the railroad
company to rcmovc its freight
house from the street. If the re.
quest is granted, the removal of
the other buildings would naturally
follow. If the company refuses to
grant the petition then steps should
be taken to force it and the others
out Of the streets.
If the people of the town will
go at this in proper way ", be-
lieVe it can be accomplished.

MUST UPHOLD
HONOR OF FLAG

Dictator Huerta Of Mexico is to-
day facing the most serious pro-
biem Of his official life.
This self-proclaimed head of the
so-called Mexican republic has de-
fed and insulted the government Of
the United States and its accredited
representatives until he has ex-
hausted the patience of President
Wilson. Huerta has been ordered
to publicly salute the flag Of the
United States as an apology for a
gross insult to this government and
unless he complies with the de-
mands he will have to take the
consequences.
1t is generally recognized that
President Wilson is a man of peace
in fact the people of this country
would not tolerate a mar at the
head of TIE government who con-
~stantly carries a chip on his should
err. But they do insist that the
man who steers the ship Of state
shall have some latent fighting
blood in his veins: that the dignity
and honor of the greatest govern
ment on earth shall be maintained
at any cost.
President Wilson's announced
policy in regard to Mexico has been
one of watchful waiting and in this
he has had the support of a major
ity of the people of the United
States. The people have been
against armed intervention by this
government. Of course, there are
always hot heads in congress Who
r ready to plunge this country
into war upon the slightest provo
cation, but they are in the minor
ity. A real provocation is p different
matter. A premeditated insult Ly
one country to another cannot be
tolerated. The Huerta govern
ment has premeditatedly insulted
the government Of the United
States. At this hour the prows of
eleven of the biggest American
battleships are turned toward Tam
pico. The ulimatum TO Huerta is
that he publicly salute the Ameri-
can flag. The alternative is the
seizure of Tampico and Vera Cruz.
If this means war, then let's have
it'll
Today President Wilson is in
close consultation with the leaders
of both branches of congress-; he
has met the members of his cabi-
net; he is both giving and accept
ing counsel.
The American government has
reached another critical period i'll
its history-a history upon which
there is no stain. There is no doubt
but that congress will give the
president undivided support in the
present crisis. He is the representa-
tive of the whole people and to
him as commander-in-chic Of the
army and navy, is delegated the
duty Of unfolding the honor Of the
American flag-by peaceful means
if possible: by force of arms if
necessary.
In this crisis the people are with
