AMERICAS CONSCIENCE CLEAF

President Wilson, in a recent ad-
dress, clearly cnunciated the American
conscience with respect to our diplo-
Inaticrelations with other nations.
There shall be no double standerd ot
ethics. He said:
I'VE are at the beginning of an age
in which it will be insisted that the
same standards of conduct shall be OBJ
served among individual citizens of
civilized states"
No nation ever entered war with
cleaner hands than ours. We desire
no additional territory. We want no
special trade advantage. We have nc
ancient scores to settle. We are bound
to no allied aims except the protection
and the perretuatior of the moral
gains of humanity. 1t is the obliga
tion of the citizenship of America t.
see that the war shall continue ii

JUDGE BURKE is BEING URGED
TO BE A CANDIDATE

Judge II. p. Burke, the present in
cumbent of the office of district
judge in and for the Thirteenth Judi
cial District, is being urged by his
many friends throughout the district
to make known his candidacy to sue
ceed himself. For twelve years Judge
Burke has occupied the bench with
great measure of credit to himself and
the district. AS trial Judge he is
recognized as one of the leading jur-
ist of the west. His judicial training,
his intimate knowledge of humanity,
and his clear grasp of world affairs,
eminently qualify him for the import
ant office, and continued high stand
ard of court conduct urges his candi-
dacy and election. The fairness, integ-
rity and ability with which he
has fulfilled his duties as district
judge should merit solid support
from the voters in the district should
he decide to become a candidate for
reelection.
No man in the district is better fit
ted to fill the place than Judge Burke,
and the Grit-Advocate believes tha-
| if he decides to let his name be used
/ he will be nominated bv n large ma
jority-and if nominated>ho is practi-

Hannah Doltatur was born in
Germany, June 4th, 1850 and died in
Julesburg, Colorado on March cath,
1918 at the age of 67 years, 9 months
and 20 days.
When seven years of age she came
to this country with her parents, and
settled in Mason County, Ill. There
she grew to womanhood. On Dec
2Oth, 1866, she was married to Henry
Spillman, who died twenty-eight years
ago. In 1872 they came to eastern
Nebraska, settling at Panama. In
1886 they came to Deuel. County,
Nebraska, where she has since made
her home, spending her later years in
Julesburg.
To this union five children were
born, Emma, who died in infancy,
Curtis L., who died in youth, Harry c.,
Homer J. and Irwin A. all of Jules
burg. She leaves to mourn her loss
three sons, their wives, seven grand
children and a sister.
She was converted early in life and
united with the Methodist church.
She was a charter member of the
church at Panama, which she helped to
organize. She was also member of
the church at Froid, Nebr., she being
the last one to pass away. She was
one who was never too busy or tired
to be about her Masters business un-
til the very last moment Of her life.
Hers was one of the choicest Christ
ian characters ever known, her delight
was to talk about the promises of the
Scriptures and their meaning. She
was so concerned in the welfare of the
community and church and her family,
that she was a continual inspiration
to her pastor. She tried to hearten

ITS Up TO US

The time has come when every
mothers son and daughter of US must
stand shoulder to shoulder and fight

peace in the days to come.
The administration at Washington
should have our unprejudiced support
backed to the limit by every man OF
us, whether or not It's our privilege
to follow the flag to a foreign field
When once we get that feeling out
of our system which prompts US to
carp and criticise when Mr.. Hoover
or Mr.. Garfield suggests, or demands
that we use sparingly of this or that,
or Mr.. McAdoo asks us to buy more
Liberty Bonds, then we will be ready
to put foot in the fellows mouth
who is forever peddling the why
and Whatfor" in argument against
the men who are doing their best in
wrestling with the great problem
which confront the people of our
country.
It's up to every one of US to make

erally-for Uncle Sam.

than the practice Of sending our dol

The Grit-Advocate is desircus of
seeing this community push forward,
ard not backward. and We realize the
importance of impressnp the fact up
on our readers t. at pa.rnniz:nC home

progress ?nd prosperity of this sec

owes loyalty to "Home" interests, III
order that mutuai benefits rray be de-
rived therefrom.
A man peddling shirts stepped into
this office one day recently, and
asked us if we didn't want to place an
order. We told him that when we
wanted some shirts that we would pur-
chase them from our local merchants
the men who help pay the taxes AMI
contribute in many ways to the well
fare of the community. The shirt
salesman was stranger to us, and
probably was not acquainted with any
of our citizens. He was simply here
to place some orders for his shirts and
take the next train out of town, his
business enterprise being of no bene-
fit whatever to this community. If
we had to depend on such business
transactions to build up the commun-
ity, we would never get beyond the
foundation.
AS we stated in the above para
graph, the gentleman did not sell US
any shirts, and we had the pleasure
of telling him just what we thought
about such business-that when we
wanted selection of shirts and our
pocketbook would permit, that we
would certainly give the business to
the home merchant As long as we
live in this community, we most GER
tainly expect to give our support in
every way possible towards its fur
ther progress. We don't know how
many of our citizens patronized this
particular shirt peddler who visited
here recently, but we appeal to the
citizens of the community to consider
the matter of Trading at Home" in
a conservative manner, and we hope
they will see it in the right light.
| We are all working for bigger and
better things, and it is imperative that
| we help one another in bettering con-
ditions, and if we do this we will all
feel better about it. The home mer
chants are deserving of the patronage
of the people Of the community. They
are here three hundred and sixty-five
days in the year and are ready to back
up any transaction they may make.
There interests are in our midst the
same as yours. while the peddler or
far-away merchant has no interest in
the welfare of the community and is
here today and gon. tomorrow. Let 5
