RESTRICTING MEMS RIGHTS.

The supreme court of Nebraska has
Just drawn a little closer the legal
fence that incloses man in the exer-
else of his dominion over all things,
animate and inanimate. This time the
court holds that the husband is not
justified in slapping his wife, even
when he is sure that it Is for her W
good. Nor can he make the interior
ence of a third party a pretext for the
application of corrective discipline.
Neither can he use force or otherwise
eoerce her from going abroad when he
thinks she should remain at home.
Thus does the rising tide of feminism
lift its tapping waves above the an
cient landmarks of domeSticity. Time
a s.when man not only had the right,
but was adjured to exercise 1t, to the
benefit of his spouse, by administer
ing corporal punishment when he
deemed it advisable or found it neees-
sary to preserve family discipline,
says Omaha Bee. The earliest inva-
sion of this right was when the courts
limited the size of the rod to be used.
Since then, step by step, this bulwark
of liberty and dominion has been
beaten down, until now in Nebraska
the best poor man can do is to let
his wife have her own way when she
wants something.

1.-THE AMERICANS cREED.v

81 believe in the United States
of America as aagovernment of the
people, by the people, for the peo-
pie; whose just powers are deriv-
ed from the consent of the gov
erned; a democracy in a republic;
a sovereign Nation of many SOW
ereign States; a perfect Union,
n and inseparable; established
upon those principles of freedom,
equality, justice, and humanity
for which American patriots sac
rificed their lives and fortunes.
81, therefore, believe it is my
duty to my country to love it; to
support it's Constitution; to obey
its laws; to respect it's flag; and
to defend it against all enemies"

THE LINE.

A waiting world hangs breathless,
On the news from far off France,
Where a line is swaying, swaying-
Can it halt the Huns advance?
That line stands for our own freedom,
Justice, humanity,
For a worlds civilization,
For Christianity!
Side by side, the allied nations
In this war of all the world,
As one man are battling, battling,
Back again the foe is hurled!
To the help of w%ar-spent England,
And of brave and bleeding France,
The Giant Young Republic
Bids it's heroes now advance.
So the blood-red flag of England,
And the %tri-color of France,
And our s~tar-bedecked "Old Glory"
Mark the battles change and
chance.
And Freedoms God still liveth,
And ever as of old,
Will aid that cause most holy,
So we know the line will hold!

THE COST OF EQUIPPiNG A
DIVISION.

According to a federal esti-
mate, $4,3S7,S80 is required to
provide the initial cost of the
clothing, fighting equipment and
the eating untensils of a single
division of infantry.
Translated into terms of Lib
erty Bonds, this means S7,75S
persons have to buy one $50
bond apiece.
To feed this same division
during a years period of train
ing it cost $3,571,0O0. 1t would
take at least 71,540 buyers of
$50 Liberty Bonds to provide
the food.
If you happen to be n of the
buyers of a $50 bond you can
thus feel that your money has
done its full duty in helping to
maintain a division of our fight
ers against Kaiserism.
