Democracy Must
Ever Be Ready to
Protect It's Own"

Philadelphia, March 3l.--Senator-
elect Hiram w. Johnson of California,
speaking at patriotic demonstration
here today. declared that the United
States will suffer much, even to the
very tension of honor" before going
to war, but that for the nation to
refuse to maintain its democratic
ideals and protect its citizens would
be to SOW within itself the seeds of
dissolution.
Democracy to survive must ever
be ready to protect its own" he said.
Every normally constituted man abb
hors war. A nation such as ours,
consecrated to freedom, dedicated to
equality among men, determined that
all Of Gods people must share in
Gods blessings, that common folk
may have their fair share of common
happiness and a comfortable place in
the sun, will suffer much, even to the
very tension of honor, before engage
ing in blood strife. But a nation,
such as ours, dependent for its per-
petuity upon the character Of its citi-
zenship, that dares not maintain its
ideals and will not protect the lives
of its citizens, sows within itself the
seeds Of dissolution.
1--WE would have no selfish war of
aggrandisement or aggression. We
have no lust of conquest. We would
only when imperatively compelled by
the transgression of our rights, by
the destruction of our lives, enter the
combat, and then in the spirit Of
America, the spirit that took no in
demnity from China and returned
Cuba into its own people"

Adams Farmers to Hear
Of SUGAR Beet Culture

Hastings, Neb., March 3l.--(Spe-
cial Telegram THE meeting of
Adams county farmers called for this
afternoon to consider planting sugar
beets in fields where the winter wheat
crop has failed was postponed to
Monday 2 o'clock when Superian-
tendent Denman of the Grand Island
sugar factory will endeavor to inter-
est the people of this county in the
project. Me Denman will also speak
at the Chamber of Commerce lunch
con Monday.
Information secured by the Cham
Der shows that beets are bought at
the cars at shipping points at Sc per
ton and the factory pays the freight
1t is believed that the yield here
would be about ten tons per acre
In the meantime some farmers be-
lieve that the loss in the wheat crop
is not SO great as reported and few
are advising against blowing fields
for sometime, arguing that if rain
comes soon the fields that have the
appearance of being dead will yet
produce half to two-thirds of a crop.

Forty-Six Years With the
Union Pacific, He RetireS

Having reached the age of 20 and
after having been in the service Of the
Union Pacific continuously since 1871,
John G. Mcbride, messenger to the
company law department, is retired
and will continue to reside in Omaha,
which has been his home practically
all the time during the last forty-eight
years.
For two years after entering the
employ of the Union Pacific he was
guard on the pay car and later was
brakeman on one Of the passenger
trains. He went out on the first train
that the Union Pacific ran between
Omaha and Lincoln, doing triple duty
of baggageman, express messenger
and mail clerk. He held this position
four and onc-half years. In 1879, as
agent at Lexington he took up a
homestead that is now a part of the
TOWNSHIP. After proving up, he sold
this land for 5000. For a number OF
years he was gateman at the Union
station, continuing until the compile
ton Of the new headquarters building
as messenger to the law department.
Mr. Mcbride was born in Scotland
and came to the United States when
young man. During 1867 and 1868

Count Czernin Says
Central Powers Are
Ready for Peace

Amsterdam, March Silvia Lon
don.)-A Vienna dispatch quotes
Count Czernin, the Austro- Hungarian
foreign minister, as saying in an in
terview with the Fremdenbladt that
the entente could conclude all hon
orable peace with the central powers
at any time and that the proposal OF
the central empires for peace con-
ference still held good.
I'VE are not going to be destroyed,
but neither do we wish to destroy"
Count Czernin is quoted as declar-
ing. "Our fronts are stronger than
ever. Our economic situation is Sc
cured. We must take our hats off
to the millions in the trenches and to
those at home on the battlefield OF
labor. The day will come when the
peoples of the monarchy will receive
the rewards of their heroism,'
After stating that the proposals of
the central powers for a peace con-
ference still held good, Count Czernin
added:
I'VE occupy extensive territories
of our enemies, and they occupy ex-
tensive districts of ours. On the
seas the blockade of our enemies is
fighting against our submarine war.
All international treaties are being
torn up. 1t is impossible to settle
some of these questions apart from
the whole subjects. If the peace con-
ference should show that an agree
ment was impossible, the fight, which
will not have been interrupted, will
continue"
Replying to the question as to
whether it was not possible to outline
the central empires peace conditions,
Count Czernin said this had already
been done, adding:
I'VE have openly declared that we
are waging a war which has been
forced upon us. Our aim is to gain
the assurance of the free and undis-
turbed development of the monarchy.
We must receive guarantees for our
existence and for our means of ex-
istence. As soon as our enemies
abandon their unrealizable ideas of
smashing us up, as soon as they are
ready to negotiate for a peace hon
orable to them and to us, then moth
ing stands in the way of negotia-
tons"
