LITTLE SYMPATHY
IN WORLD TODAY
Groh Tells of True Incidents
He Encountered on Streets
of This City.
ALL NOT FOR THE DOLLAR
By A. R. GROH.


A blind man at Fourteenth anc
Douglas streets was singing "Killar
ney" and accompanying himself witt
numb fingers on his little organ the
other morning.
Two young fellows watched him for
a while. Then one said something to
the other and they went up and ad.
dressed the sightless one who was
rubbing his cold hands.
Charlie, play Don't Bite the Hand
That's Feeding You" one Of them
said.
"All right" agreed the blind man
and began to play and sing. The
young fellows joined heartily and bois-
terously in the chorus, accompanying
themselves with burlesquc gestures.
When the classic had been duly rem
dered the young fellows each drop
ped quarter into the blind man S
cup. He took the coins out and ex-
pressed profuse thanks, but his bene-
factors were half block away.
Void is Cold Today.
This true incident simply shows us
that the world today is a cold, I'M
sympathetic world, and woe 10 those
who fall by the wayside in lifc's race.
As coal wagon was passing Fiji
tecnth and Farnam streets the end
gate slipped out, spilling about a ton
of coal. A truck driver coming down
Fifteenth street stopped his horses,
took a scoop shovel from his wagon
and went to work, helping the coal
man clear up the coal. Soon a coal
wagon belonging to another firm
came along and this driver also stop
ped and helped.
That ton OF coal was back in its
wagon in little bit and then the
two good Samaritans rushed to their
wagons and hurried about their bust
ness.
In this rushing modern world, it's
every man for himself and the devil
take the hindmost" /
Rush for Almighty Dollar.
The wheel OF a delivery wagon
came off on North Seventeenth
street near Nicholas. A big automo-
bile came along, driven by prosper
ous-looking business man. The bust
ness man stopped. got out his auto
mobile jack and in ten minutes they
had the wheel on again.
Today, in the rush for the almighty
dollar, all consideration for humanity
and helpfulness seem to be forgotten.

Lieutenant Governor Herman Tay-

Il favor longtime loans, low inter-

Il have supported every measure
for the more speedy disposition OF our
state lands and laws extending the
time Of payment and reducing the

stopping the purchase of school bonds

practically the only market for the

ULTIMATUM IS SENT TO
GERMANY
President Wilson Sends Final
Word to Kaiser's
Government

President Wilson's long expected
final warning 10 Germany that the
United States will break off diploma
tic relations unless she abandons her
present methods Of submarine war
fare, and Immediately declares her in
tention TO do so, was delivered We'd
nesday in a note 70 Berlin and was
announced by the president in an ad-
dress to joint session Of congress.
The president considered that the
next step depends solely upon Ger
many and that three or four days con-
stitute a reasonable time for reply
Diplomatic history records but one
instance where a breaking Of relations
between two first class powers has not
eventually brought war-that which
now exists between Germany and
Italy
Congress received the presidents
declaration OF his course with deepest
concern Leaders, Democratic and
Republican, thought the president
hardly could do less and some express
ed the opinion that this action would
not lead 10 war. Republican Leader
Mann alone Of all the opposition lead
ers openly attacked the president for
his stand. He characterized it as a
political play.
President Wilson'S words leave no
opportunity for double meaning. In his
address to congress he said:
4 have deemed it my duty TO say
TO the imperial German government
that if it is still its purpose TO prose
cute relentless and indiscriminate
warfare. The government Of the
United States Is at last forced TO
conclusion that there Is but one course
it can pursue; and that unless the i'm
periaI German government should
now, Immediately, declare and effect
an abandonment Of its present
methods Of warfare against passenger
and freight carrying vessels this gov
ernment can have no choice but to
sever diplomatic relations altogether"

Paper Stock Going Up

Printers and publishers are all ago
over the rapid and continual ad-
vances in the prices of paper stock.
Wholesalers keep the malis full OF
notices of advancing prices and quo
tations cancelled or recalled. A
printer orders stock today and by the
time the order is packed the price
may be off and uncertainty arise as to
shipping it without wiring to get ap-
proval on existing prices. Some kinds
of paper have doubled in cost, and the
kinds most used have gone up steadily
and are still mounting higher. I'm
less the war in Europe ceases soon and
prices become fixed the printing busi-
ness. will witness more bankruptcies
than have occurred during the panics.
If job press consumes $50 worth of
paper per day, at the old prices, and
now consumes $50 worth and the
printed product is delivered at about
the old price, that printer will be
broke before he knows it.

Editorials from the leading news
papersof the east and west, north ana
south, give abundant proof Of the
rallying of millions TO the standard Of
national honor enunciated 70 Germany
by the presidents note Wednesday.
Two German publications, one in New
York and one in Chicago, are the only
newspapers voicing feeling Of dis
loyalty. Excerpts from editorials in
two of the leading newspapers Of the
country voice the sentiments Of every
loyal American citizen in this crisis:

Of war. The president is right. II is
the country that speaks through Mr.
Wilson. The interests Of the whole
land are involved. 1t is easy TO criti-
else and yet ne who criticises now is
engaged in bad business. 1t is easy
70 attribute mean motives, and ne who
does 80 is showing a meaner motive
than can be easily characterized.
Chicago Tribune-Americans can
not read this mornings news in any
careless mind and be rational or wise.
The president the other day asked if
We were "ready for the test" This is
the test. It may be the test Of our
own composition as a nation, Of our
courage as individuals of our spirit
and manliness. II the test can
be faced honestly and bravely it may
do good. IL may be the test the nation
needs TO become q real nation, inte-
grated and unified, spiritualized and
strengthened, able 70 meet dangers
which we can see the future offering.
It may be a good thing for American
policy TO meet this test, while we
have the support Of which allies couldl
offer. We may be able TO save an
other generation from trials which
our Incompetence and dislike for
struggle would have increased for our

SHEEP HERDER'S HEAD
BLOWN OPEN
One of Andy Little's Men
Frightfully Injured by Gun
Explosion

Robert Marven, a sheep herder in
the employ of Andy Little, was
found in the sagebrush on Big Willow
creek Sunday morning with his brains
oozing from an ugly wound in his
head, caused by the explosion of a
musket
The accident occurred about 2
o'clock Sunday morning, according to
the injured man. How it happened
he does not know. The gun was a
muzzle loading musket, the kind US
ually supplied to sheep herders to
fire at intervals during the night to
frighten off coyotes and other animals
that prey upon the sheep. The gun
has not yet been found, but it is
supposed that the breech blew open or
the hammer was blown off. The right
side Of his head back of the ear was
struck and a hole half an inch wide
and about two inches long made in
his skull. The skull above his ear
was cracked. He was rendered un-
conscious, but later recovered and at
tempted to made his way to camp, but
was too weak from loss of blood.
When the day herder reported to
take charge of the band of sheep in
the morning, Maven was missing.
With other members of the camp
search was instituted, but the un-
fortunate man was not found until II
O'Clock Sunday morning. He was
brought to town by DR.. Clark and
placed in Mrs. Hewittson's hospital
for treatment About a teaspoonful
of his brains had oozed away or were
removed.
Maven is about 25 years of age.
He says his folks live in Canada, hut
refuses to tell their name or address.
When told that his injuries might
prove serious and asking what 1ispoji-
ton to make of his body, he replied
that he did not want his parents to
know anything about his death. Just
bury me anywhere. without any fuss"
he said. While his injuries are severe,
his physicians expect him TO recover,
unless blood poisoning should set In.
