according to Congressmau Moses p

According to Congressman Moses P.
Klnkald,of Nebraska, its author, no
other public land law has attained great
er population in the region which it
affected than the Act of April 26, 1904,
enlarging the arid land homestead IN
western Nebraska to GAO acres. Prev
ious 10 it's enactment the population of
that region was gradually diminishing,
and the eject of that law was to imm-
ediately change that condition to a
rapidly increasing population.
In the small towns the lumber yards
and hotels, which had been closed,
again opened. the number of schools
vas increased, and the high standard of
the Nebraska public schools, which,
Mr.. Kinkaid asserts, is second to none in
tie Union, was extended to the western
par5'of the State. ian abundant harv-
estis being reaped", says Representa-
rive Kiakald, from the operation of
the law our Congress was wise enough
TO pass thirteen years -ago".

IF it is still the purpose of the 1nlpeFial
government to prosecute relentless and
indiscriminate warfare against vessels of
omlnerce by the use of submarines with
out regard to what the government OF the
United States must consider sacred and
indisputable rules Of International law
and universally recognized dictates Of lfu,
manity. the government of the United
States is at last forced to the conclusion
that there is but one course it can pursue.
Unless the Imperial government shtalln
now Immediately declare and effect ad
abandonment of it's present methods 70
submarine warfare against passenger and
freightearrying vessels, the government
of the United States can. have no choice
but to sever diplomatic relations with the

The people lend the money to the Kas-

another loan and the people pay
back the scraps of paper in exchange
for other scraps of paper. Then the
Kaiser pays out his new accumulation
back to the people as wages ana tor sup

A WAR-PEACE MEETING

Three years ago Emerson and Penn.
bina had 'union peace meeting to cele
brate the fact that we had lived along
side each other as neighbors for one
hundred years without war.
10 night we are to hold another simi
lar meeting, because we are at war; not
with each other but together against q
common enemy.
J We say a similar meeting because this
meeting stands for peace IN a far great.
er degree than the former gathering.
Then we new but little or nothing oil
war, but 1t requires war to really appre
ciate the blessing of peace.
AT times as human nature is now con
stituted, We find that we must fight II
We would have peace.
1t may be, we all fervently hope il
may be, that this great war shall bring
universal peace. If it be SO. then the
awful cost will not be too great.
Hence the war meeting at Enerson
tonight, and similar meetings elsew here,
being held all through the two countries
may help to make that universal peace
and thus become even more significant
han the peace meetings OF three years
ago.
Then we celebrated for century OF
past peace, now we celebrate lhe hope
OF many centuries of future peace; let Us
all hope and belp.

1.-THE ALTAR FREEDOM"

We VISA every mother, every woman
of America, could and would read :The
Altar of,Fseedom'' by Mary Rhinehart
Roberts In the Saturday Evening Post
dated April 2lst.
The article is too long to copy in the
limits of country weekly like the
Pioneer Express and it is too good to be
marrsd with extracts.
Mrs. Roberts whois perhaps the great
est of women writer's of the present day
and she writes from the standpoint of a
mother whose eldest son has enlisted, or
mothers whose sons are likely to enlist.
Mrs. Roberts was for some time in
Europe as correspondent and saw
battletields, hospitals and prisons and
knows what war means at first hand.
She is also we'll versed in American
politics and social economies. Thus no
woman of America comes better ,qualii-
ed to write such an article.
And she has done the work in the
most finished manner. We doubt if any
American mother can read the address
without tears and we should be sorry for
the man be he statesman or private citi-
zen, if. he were not y better patriot af-
ter reading it.
Personally, to us it seems the best
writing, and the most comprehensive,
on patriotism from the woman's stand
point that we have ever read. If you
have not already read it, hunt it up and
then you will thank US for calling at
tention to it; and perhaps you will rea-
lize better than ever before that there is
do for her country that is far greater
than any man can do.

W. L#
HIDES: The hide market has suf-
fered a severe slump and prices are
quoted from 3 to 4c per pound lower.
Our prices herewith are nominal and
may be too high. The cause Of the
decline Is given as large stocks Of for
eign and domestic hides on hand and
q poor leather business. No country
hides are used by the government for
war orders.
WOOL: The market is steady to
firm and good lots are still. bringing

TALLOW: The market is slow but
prices well maintained and good
stock is bringing full prices.
PELTS: Pelts are In good demand
and bringing high prices especially
