Omaha Team
Stages Comedy

The Omaha Western legue base
ball team arrived in Julesburg last
Tuesday morning from Grand Island.
at which place they played the pre-
vious day. They came about twen-
ty strong, in private pullman, trav-
elling in gala style. They were
scheduled to meet the Julesburg base
ball team that afternoon-and we
believe they did.
Contrary to the indications early
Tuesday morning. at about noon the
sun came out from behind the dark
clouds, and everybody began to get
the base ball fever. Why? Well
why shouldn't they-the Omaha wes-
tern leasuers were in town and an
opportunity to see them in action on
the base ball diamond was in store
for all those who wended their way
out to the ball grounds. About two
hundred and fifty people witnessed
the performance, and the base ball
management came out financially in
good shap. notwithstanding the fact
that they had to guarantee Pa
Rourke, the famous manager Of the
Omaha team, seventy-five simoleons.
The game started out in an ear
nest manner. but, as was expected,
the western leaguers were of course
too much for the local team, and

ism which would bring the earth un-
der its black sway.
We are at war because these
| things, taken together and viewed
in their totality, have persuaded us
that democracy and all the things it
represents are in a death Srapple
with autocracy and all that it rep
resents.
We are at war because we have a
right to expect, should Germany sue
ceed in overcoming the adversaries
that confront her. that the world
will be most unsafe for us, that
blamelessnesS of conduct will in no.
wise preserve us from also passing
under the rod.
We are at war because we must
defend principles more vital to us
and to the future of mankind than
individual lives, because it is our
duty as moral beings not to be idle
while a heritage accumulated by the
good men and women of all ages
and countries is in desperate jeo-
pardy.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ
was born across the sea:
With glory in His bosom that
transfigures you and me;
As He died to make men holy, let
us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
No dross OF envy; no admixture of
national selfishness; no furitive
thought of conquest; no hate but of
wrong. We are at war because God
lives, because He has forged the iron
will of our resolution. God lives and
reigns. Freedoms flag shall not be
torn down. The children of men af
ter their long pilgrimage are not to
be driven away from the goal of
peace. We fight that we and all
the world may not be forbidden to
smelt our guns and to fold away our
banners-we fight that the gentler
purposes for which man lives and
has his true being may once more
lift up faces Of serenity.
