Be it RESOLVED
LIST. We approve the call of
the State Central Committee, the
18th Congressional Committee,
and the Knox County Republican
Committees call for this mass
convention.
End, We condemn the Under
wood Tariff law, as it has
brought disaster to American
Industry and untold suffering to
the laboring men of the United
States, and would have bank
rupt the treasrrery of the Uni
ted States but for the alleged
War Tax imposed upon the
American people in time of
peace. and hereby renew our
faith in the protective tariff
principals of the Republican
party, by which prosperity has
been brought, in the fullest
measure to the American people,
and labor has enjoyed the rich
est reward.
3rd. We condemn President
Wilson's weak and vacillating
Mexican policies. This policy in
our judgement has brought
about the death of more than
100 American citizens, by Next
cans shooting across the Inter
national Boundary line, and by
actually invading American soil.
We condemn that policy of the
present administration wherein
the lives and property of Ameri-
can citizens are endangered and
destroyed with impunity by for
eigners, both within and beyond
our borders. In our opinion the

Country's Stars Here.
The $l2,3O0 hung up in stakes and
purses has served as an incentive to
attract the bright stars OF the coun-
try's leading racing stables, and the
prospect OF seeing some turf battles
that may make harness racing history
has fashioned out the Cornhusker
metropolis as the Mecca of prominent
turfmen from the four winds.
The half-mile oval at the East
Omaha Speedway, admittedly the
fastest OF its distance between the
coasts, is in ideal condition, and every
indication points to par-excellent rae

Copenhagen, Aug. 2l.-(via Lon.
don. )--According to the DaRen's
Nyhederu. the Swedish government
has published blue book containing
the diplomatic documents relating to
the negotiations between Sweden and
England regarding the seizure OF
British mails to Russia. This seizure
was in retaliation for the taking BY
the British Of parcels post from
America to Sweden.
The blue book states that on the
initiative Of Great Britain, an agrees
ment was reached BY which the Brit
ish mails were to be released, Eng
land agreeig to the Establishment Of
an arbitration court after the war
to settle the question OF its seizure
OF American mail.
After this agreement, the Blue
Book says. and most OF 10000 pack.
ages Of mail seized by Sweden had
been forwarded to Russia, England
suddenly demanded that Sweden al
low i'll English mails to pass to Rus.
STA in the future. Sweden refused to
accept this amendment to the original
agreement. whereupon England with.
drew its concession regarding the ar.
bitratioa court. The Dagens Nyhe.

Near Panama Canal.
SPANIARD ACTS AS AGENT

Washington, Aug. 2l.-Investiga-
ton Of reports from Panama that a
60,000-acre land concession at the At
lantic end OF the canal is being sought
by Spania-d named Fernandez, pre-
sumably for Japanese interests, was
ordered today by Secretary Lansing.
Rumors of similar nature have
been common since the canal was
we'll under way, but it was not until
several months ago that they reached
we'll defined outline. At that time
it was commonly believed in diplo-
matte circles that private japanese
shipping interests were seeking land
through Spanish Intermediates to es.
tablish base for storing coal at
lower rates than could be had from
the American government monopoly
base So far as is known nothing
definite came of that plan.
The present reports are that Fer
nandez, Havana agent for Japanese
interests, secured a 60,000-acre land
concession through the activity of
Ramon Valdes, whose recent election
to the presidency Of Panama may
possibly be disputed by the United
States because of alleged frauds and
coercion.

to the credit Of the ssate is $l06 900.
Next year the amount will be doubled
which will make the sum total for the
two years $4,000. As the state is
required to duplicate this amount in

there will be a sum available of
AS bridges are considered a part of
road equipment, 1t is believed that in
some instances the state could 20
ahead and build the bridges and then
put in the roads later. The require
ment OF the government is that in
building the, roads there shall be a
continued line. Short lines cannot be
built and. therefore, system which
will run from one end Of the state to

ceive first consideration. The road
can be built of dirt or gravel, but must

To such radicalism was attributed
much OF the present unrest in Mexico.
