PEOPLE ENTITLED TO NEWS

In the course of few days there
have been two public expressions of
the dislike of the English people for
the censorship, a dislike which the
experience of the months of war has
done nothing to allay. "A censorship
is highly repugnant thing to the
English people" declares Mr.. Justice
Low, and he finds an echo in Lord
Burnham, who graphically, and with
feeling. says: 1T will be a bright
day for the press and the country
when we see the last of the unlucky
figure OF the Censor disappearing
down the Thames Embankment"
The above is from the c. S. Moni-
tor of Boston.
The administration would make
the same mistake as did England IL
the iron-clad censor, which has been
suggested to Congress is passed The
mothers and fathers of this great
nation send their sons to the
trenches to fight the battles and they
are entitled to be given the news,
however, no newspaper wants to
oyerstep the bound of loyalty and
publish the movements of troops,
troop trains, fleets and the like and
the newspapers will amply protect
the United States in this without the
lron-clad censorship placed on the
legitimate news which the people are
entitled to have

A POET-PASTOR,S VERSE

The following poem appeared re-
Gently in the Michigan Christian
Advocate. 1t was written by Rev,
F. w. Pimlott, of this city. pastor of
the Methodist Episcopal church:
Give me something hard to do;
Something that will keep me true;
Something that will help a few
Who toll along life's way.
Send me somewhere in'the fight;
Somewhere to uphold the right:
Somewhere to defeat the might
That holds the masses in its sway.
Lead me somewhere, Lord of all;
Somewhere to reveal the call;
Somewhere to undo the fall
Ihat holds the masses in its sway.
Give me something, Lord of men;
something more than sword or pen
Something that will win them when

CROWLEY COUNTY REPORTS

M. T. Nelson. president OF the
Citizens State Bank, of Ordway. re-
porting for Crowley county sums up
the local conditions as follows. In the
May Bulletin. a publication put out
by the Denver National Bank. This
notification Is booklet OF several
pages and reports the conditions In
agricultural, Industrial and mining
affairs:
The season here Is "A little back
ward and we have had considerable
wet. cold weather this spring which
has been hard on stock as well as
crops. yet we feel very fortunate as
there has been but little loss In cattle
and the crops seem TO have made up
for lost time during the short warm
spell we had the last couple OF weeks.
The prospects for a good crop Is
very gratifying ana everybody seem
to realize the necessity of increasing
the crop yield to help overcome the
food shortage. and ! believe that
every farmer Is planting every acre
that he can possibly tend properly
and some more than they can handle.
4 great many of taem are working
Sundays to get their work done, and
some OF IhOEt VINO AANt lIdNAblN dl'
working night shifts.
We have been helping everybody
that we could in the way OF getting
seed. and have shipped in several cat
tie and placed them among good. re-
liable farmers in the grazing country,
and IT seems to me that everybody
that is worthy of credit has been
given all the necessary assistance TO
help him produce as large crop as
the season will permit. Personally |
spend a lot of my time in the country
among the farmers of our territory
and find 1t a great help to us as well
as them. A great many times. IL you
are on the ground. you can make
suggestions that will help the farm
er increase your confidence In him
and generally cultivate his friendship
and confidence in you to the material
benefit of both.
1t seems that there are soc many
things coming up for the banker
to do and think about in a trying
time like this that IL seems impos-
sible to more than just scratch the
surface. With our business steadily
we cannot find time to
promote calf clubs, pig clubs. and
various other clubs without hiring
more help or working night and day,
and we are already doing that, and
the proposition of hiring help is get
ing to be quite a problem. However,
we assure you that you will find us
ready and willing to do all that we
;an at any time, and any suggestion
will cheerfully be accepted. and any
literature sent us for distribution
viii be promptly attended to.

ASHINGTON. D. C.. Mar 5.-- aud scenes marked by stormy de bate and charges of unpatriotic con duct by the Democratic leaders against Republican senators. the present session of the senate came 70 an end today shortly before noon. The Presidents armed neutrality bill Jailed of passage. not even coming to vote.
 Just before the close of the ses- sion. Senator Hitchcock. of Nebraska, during a speech bitter with recriml- nations against the action on the part of certain of the Republican senators. read d portion of President Wilson's address asking for the pas sage Of the armed neutrality bill. and said, in part: Twelve men defeated his legislation, designed to give to American lives and American prop erty the protection they need to
 
 keep from being driven from the nigh seas by the most reprehensible ilibuster ever conducted in the his .ory Of civilized government"
 l. is thought likely that the Presi- dent will assume the responsibility and al once take steps to arm Am nrican merchantmen in spite of the allure of the senate to sanction such a step. IL Is known that he con s.ders such action vital to the inter -ts Of American commerce. and If $ decided by the attorney general hat he has such power. he will i'm nediately issue the necessary orders.
 During the closing hours of the essfon President Wilson went to the ,aDtol and signed the legislation which was passed.

They are also of the opinion that the decision of the case as 1t will be rendered by the judge on the bench will in no way affect the status of the case If 1t Is taken to the floor of the house of representa- tiyes for a decision.
