is being built. The house will have a

SUBSCRIPTION RATES
Thursday October 9, 1919

According to Congressman Martin
B. Madden, of Illinois, the purchasing
BOWER of the dollar today is about
forty eight cents says an exchange.
That has been brought about, he
saws, by the expansion of the cur
rency to the extent of $13,00O,OOO, 600.
He claims that not ninety per cent OF
those who bought government bonds
had the money to pay for them. The
result was that they had to get
loans from the banks. The banks did
not have the money, and they had to
take the bonds and their own notes
to the Federal Reserve banks for dis
count. The Federal Reserve bank did
not have the money and they had to
issue Federal reserve currency-$13,-

A RADICAL IN OFFICE

The socialist mayor of Milwaukee
declines to invite the king, queen
and crown prince of Belgium to the
city, claiming that for him to in
yite them would be to sacrifice his
self-rtspect The incident illustrates
the difficulty of the radical in
office. Practically he has to COM
promise with all sorts of institutions
not approved by his cult, making
an exception now and then where
it seems to be good propaganda,
Tht royal visitors, holding their po-
sition by virtue of the sovereign
will of the people of Belgium, need
not, and doubtless won't consider
themselves seriously rebuTfed. -

DAYS OF THE RURAL TROLLY
PAST

No doubt Madison was wise in re-
fusing to grant franchise for a
trolly line line to be built to neigh
boring city. The days for trollys, ex-
cept in thickly populated communi-
ties, is past. Two lines that have
been in operation in Massachusetts
for many years yielded to the in
eyitable few days ago and another
line is on the brink of bankruptcy.
Paved roads and the automobile are
wrecking the business. Those who
have stocks or bonds in companies of
this character would do we'll to with
draw as soon as possible and leave it
to others to do the weeping.

When did you last lift up your

forgotten that there are stars The
stars said to Emerson, "Why so hot,

FORWARD TO THE. FARM

In private letter written from
Reval in Esthonia Arthur Ruhl adds
this to his Illuminating story OF
Americas service to hungry Europe:
81 don't believe anybody could see
one of these queues of little chill
dren being fed, or see the stuff that
people have tried to eat for bread
in Finland, for example without
being moved to go out in the field
and raise something. My cornbelt
blood was stirred at any rate"
Something more than a personal
reaction lis in this comment. The
old phrase" back to the land" is
outworn and the world sees that it
must go forward to the farm to pro-
duce so much that famine and even
shortage shall be things of the past.

BURDEN WILL BE ON THE RE-
PUBLICANS

Whether or not the League of Ma
lions will fail or succeed as it relates
to the United States depends largely
upon the epublicans. If it fails the
Democrats will surely make it an
issue in the next presidential cam
paign. If there is no League of Ma
tons the only alternative will be a
big army and big navy. If the Re-
publicans defeat the measure the
Democrats viii come around and not
hesitate to say the Republicans must
have millions of money as we'll as
men, to support their policy. How
many boys want to go into the army
or navy again? How many persons
want to pay higher taxes to support
a military policy How many fathers
and mothers will look upon the ques-
ton with favor? 1t looks like it
would mean dark days for the Repub-
1icans and that would suely imply
four more years of Democratic rule.

WORK AND SAVE

Our new slogan Work and Save"
should appeal to us all, work for
America, save us from unrest and
boIshevism This undercurrent of un
rest that breaks out in riots and
bloodshed is nearly as terrifying as
war Why cannot the work and save
method be exploited and campaigned
in the same manner as thrift stamp,
liberty leans drives and the like
given a good leader community and
national enthusiasm can be awaken
ed and the need kept alive by pub
licity Loyal Americans will get be-
hind the movement and push with all
their might as they have demonstrate
ed they can do. Remember how the
slogan "save food, food will win the
war; stared us in the face every
where for months. We saved. We
go the schools interested-after all
it is the children who are our real
enthusiasts-just get it started, we
are great followers-everybOdy wants
to do what everybody else does. The
press is a great lever in starting things
and we certainly have a motive for
helping our country in this stress,
for we are helping ourselves also.
From the president to the children 1t
is worth trying. We can work and
save" if we try. The state can
help-it is deplorable to have sena-
tors lessen their dignity by INDUCING
in personalities. Let them forget
everything but America and the good
of the people who are looking to
them to do the right thing not for
party nor for politics nor to avenge
their own hurt feelings but first, last
and always for America.

SHAME UPON OMAHA

Shame upon Omaha.
Appalling, indeed was the news that

To think that a mob of the size

sort to the shameful exhibition that
took place there Sunday seems al :
most unbelievable.
Think of it: An aggregation of
American citizens all but lynches the
mayor of one of the largest cities in
the country. The courthouse is laid
in ruins. And the barbaric and
fiendish manner in which the OBJ
ject Of the mob's vengeance was
dragged about the streets is revolt
ing.
