FRIDAY AFTERNOON. JULY 4, 1919
REDUCE GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.

Thrift Ike charity. begins at home
Many of the federal publications are
filled with cautions against waste
The people are told that Americans
constitute the most extravagant ma.
ton on earth. They are warned thai
they must save If they would be
saved. Both political parties are giv.
ing out sound advice of this kind
sufficiently far in advance Of NoYem-
Der, 1920. TO allay any suspieioa OF
purely political motive. The Republl-
ms controlling Congress are saying
: great deal about the reforms .aey
purpose to establish To soon reduce
the expenditures which have been
necessary IN carrying on the war.
The Democrats in charge of the ex.
ecutiye departments promise enrtail-
ment OF their disbursements. The
people who pay the bills, pinehed by
taxes, want the federal expenses cut
to the bone and are Watchfully wait
ing for some evidence of good faith
On the part Of at least one of the his /
controlling parties.
This assurance should be given at
once. There should be early adjust
ment of appropriations to changed
conditions and immediate reduction OF
the swollen STATS Of the several de-
partments still carried on the pay
rolls. The published reductions Of
the army Of civilian assistants are
misleading. In almost every case az
many new names are added a. are
reported dropped. \ visit TO the de-
partments at Washington will dis
close an evident surplus of halp.
There is surplusage OF idle clerks
and messengers and other employees.
This applies to all departments whose
forces were increased By war demands
To which the people eheerfully agreed.
To name any particular department
~ so offending in 3 measure Hould
be to exculpate others equally over
manned. Practically all those that
make pretense TO an effort To return
to peace footing are hanging onto
their emergency quota Of help. The
faYorite method IL the famboyanf dis
bandment Of war bureau or division
for which excuse has totally dIsap-
peared. ohif 10 continue 1t In the de-
partment With "A few additional
clerks" Abandonment or true ANAL
gamation If these nov unnecessary
activities Il exceedingly rare.
On the whole. the alleged reduction
nj the force of war workers" i a
Joke in Washington. Il bids far To
Become a scandal in the nation. .rAe

MAKES PLEA FOR
UNSELF|ShNESS
IN PATRIOTISM
Judge HoagIand Addresses
Civil War Veterans; Says
Greed Is Essence Of
Socialism.

Before a representative audience
of more than so Civil war veterans,
members of the G. A. r. and the la
dies of their allied organizations.
Judge ]. S. Hoagland of North
Platte, commander of the depart
ment of Nebraska G.. A. R., made
an imprisoned plea for patriot
ism untinged by selhshness and
comprehending more than a mere
desire for glory and gain. The meet
ing was held Thursday evening in
the G. A. R. rooms at the court
house.
The commander-in-ch of the G.
A. R., c. E. Adams, of this city al
so was present and delivered an ad-
dress.
"The blood of our bravest was
shed on the soil of France and
Flanders" said Judge Hoagland. at
was due to their individuality and
their initiative, fostered by the free
institutions of this country, that the
victory is now ours. The institu-
tons and the ideals which produced
these heroes are now endangered by
the new cult of specialization and
bolshevism. Greatness is the es.
sence of the new movement and to
combat it we must summon all our
strength.
Women Prove Worthy.
Again, as IN the Civil war. wo-
men have proven themselves more
than worthy of any rights which the
state may bestow upon them. With
breaking hearts but with smiling
faces they sent us off to do our duty
and when we returned, broken and
shattered by the horrors and cruel
ties of war, they ministered to us
and brought us back to health. The
franchise should be given them"
Had we asked for an uncondi-
tional surrender from Germany we
would not now find ourselves in
our present predicament," said c. E
Adams. Had. we done so there
would have been no need for bag
Cling and bargaining at the peace
conference for those things which
are ours by right.
eve can't say as did Grant. Let
us have peace but we must con-
tinue on our uncertain course.
Greatest Factor.
IF President Wilson had con-
ferred with the men who had Tough,
and had been willing to sacrifice
their all in the sacred cause of hu.
mainly he would be assured of sue
cess at the present time.
THE organizations of allied sol.
diers being formed in all countries
will be the greatest single factor in
bringing peace to the war-weary
world.
These organizations will prove
superior to the league of nations in
maintaining peace" said the speaker
at the close Of his address.
A vocal solo was rendered by
Miss Violet Johnson while Miss
Gertrude Them gave a violin solo
Mrs. John w. Adams also enter
tanned the audience with character
reading.

Official Advices to Washing

Washington, April 24-Official
advices received here yesterday said
the war party in the Japanese cabi-

the Siberian policy and Foreign Min
