NATION MOVES TO DRAFT
GENERAL PERSHINQ.
Americas Supreme Leader Fav
ored as Republican Nominee
for President.

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 24.-Ne-
braska dominates General John j
Pershing as the next Republican
candidate for, President of the
United States, according to the
Pershing-fo President national
committee with headquarters
here. The statement is prepared
for the committee by Former Sen
ator 3. j. Burkett of Nebraska
and a classmate Of General Perish
ing in the University Of Nebras-
ka. In announcing the campaign,
the committee says:
Our honors may be divided, but
our enthusiasm will not be lessen
ed, although several other states
may also claim this right. If Ne
braska seems presumptuous in
claiming him as her own, it may
be pardoned on the ground that
his life work is tied up with the
history of our state and our edu-
cational institutions, and that we
feel that, we know him better than
other sections of the country and
other parts of the world. We
know him well enough to appre-
ciate his greatness, and esteem
him enough to rejoice in the
worldwide recognition of that
greatness.
When a man becomes as big as
General Pershing has become in
public opinion and affection, it
matters little of what state he was
child, for he becomes the man of
all the states, and of all the world.
General Pershing''s name has be-
come a household word every
where and all around the globe.
It is as familiar in Europe is it is
in America, and as readily pro-
ounced in the Orient as in Ne
braska. To paraphrase an oft
quoted expression They raised
him up in Missouri, and he has
come down all over the world. Z"
With all proper respect for the
illustrious men of America, pres
ent and past, it can very properly
be said that there has never been
another man of any country or
of any time who has gone so far
and done so much, who has been
everywhere, and done everything
he has done. He has served his
country at home and abroad, and
has defended her institutions and
ideals Of government in every
state in the union, and in every
hemisphere Of the globe. He has
been student teacher, educator,
author. diplomat, statesman, sol
der, and always and everywhere
has achieved distinction for him

flag Of his country.
Is it an accident now that he
comes back home and generously
gives all the credit for his success
as soldier to the brave American
boys who did the fighting, and to
the splendid men of business for
his success in the industrial end
of it, and all the while claiming
nothing for himself?
A thousand times we answer
o"-there is no accident about
it, there is an invisible power that
guides the destiny of men and ma
lions through human instrument
talities. just as George Washing
ton was the instrumentality UNI
der God by which this nation was
born, and just as Abraham Lin
coin was the fundamentally to
bring freedoml to the black man
and save the union, so General
Pershing was the instrumentality
of God to bear the ideals of Amer
lean democracy unto the nations
of Europe, and to rescue the
peace of the world from the mem
ace of militarism. When duty
called him, it found him ready.
Others might have one as well,
but none could have done better.
The American people have new
err been ungrateful to their heroes
of war, and with General Perish /
ing there should be no exception.
He is the best fitted man in Amer
lea today for the reconstruction
period Of the next four years. He
knows the five millions of our sol
der boys, and what they endur-
ed. He knows the agony of the
American home whence loved
ones have fallen. He knows the
ideals of Americanism for which
those boys and those homes
stand; he knows the problems of
Europe, the ambitions and per-
plexities Of the Orient and the
tangled conditions of Mexico bet
ter than any other man in Amer
lea today. His information is
first-hand. His life>work has fit
ted and equipped him particular
ly for this particular hour in the
nations history.
just as Roosevelt drafted him
for his name, and another adyan-
tage to the Philippines; just as
Wilson drafted him for Europe, so
will American people draft him
today for he is first in the hearts
of his countrymen.

MAKE 1T A YEAR WORTH

Another year is before us, with
all of its possibilities for good or
i'll, for success or failure.
AS we cross the border Of 1920
how many Of us are giving even
a passing thought to the charac-
ter of the course we are to pur-
sue in the next twelve months?
The commander who goes into
battle in pursuance Of definite
plan Of action has every oppor.
tunity for success, but he who
plunges in at random courts dis
aster and defeat.
1t is SO in every sphere of life
If we would enrich the world
by our individual presence we
must have a definite plan in view,
and that plan must be adhered to
in the face of all obstacles.
Accumulation of wealth is not
the noblest aim in life. With
prosperity we must have honor
and integrity, peace and content
ment, or the gold we amass
becomes but dross which drags us
down to the mire Of degradation.
Honor and integrity go hand in
hand, and peace and contentment
are their twin children.
All are within the reach &C ev-
cry man and every woman who
has the moral courage to begin
the new year with determine
ton to do that which is right and
just, regardless Of what friend or
foe may think or say.
1t is easier to do right than to
do wrong. In the one our con-
science is clear and is potent
aid to us in the pursuance of an
object. In the other we labor
constantly in the shadow Of fear,
suspicious Of mankind, and with a
mind warped and distorted by the
dread of exposure.
For each of us it will be year
replete with something but what
will that something be.

ONE EFFECTIVE TREATMEN I

When the 249 Reds were de-
ported few days ago they lived
up to their regulations as they
were taken aboard ship under
guard.
They rayed and ccrsed the gov
eminent, and vehemently declar-
ed that they would return and
wreak vengeance upon every
agency that stands for. law and
order and decency.
And they will return-dbe sure
Of that.
The Mexican border alone Of
fers every opportunity for again
invading this country, even if
they were successfully barred
from our regular ports. 1t may
even be considered a settled fact
that Carranza will afford them
every facility to this end.
There are only two effective
means of curbing Red iron
bars or a coffin.
Gentleness and humanity only
fan the fires of their hatred.

stances would they vote to inflict
capital punishment. Some day
the influence of our women may
be the means Of abolishing capital
punishment entirely. If man is
sent to prison for life, and is lat
err proven to be an innocent VIC
tim of circumstances, as is often
the case, he can at least be liber-
ated for the remainder of his
days. But if he is hung it would
be rather difficult to bring him
back to life again. Women have
hearts.

idaho county is unfortunate in
losing her county agent, John f.
Finley, who recently resigned the
position to take up agricultural
work for himself. He had held
the position only few months
just long enough to acquaint the
farmers over there with the value
Of such an official, and it is pre-
sumed that the place will be re-
filled as soon as possible. The
Idaho county farmers lost enough
last season through the grasshop-
per pest alone to pay the salary
of q farmer agent for many years,
which loss could have been pre-
vented had the scourge been
fought in an organized way, as it
was in Lewis county under Colsn-
ty Agent Wade. Here's hoping
our neighbor commonwealth MAJ
not be long without the services
Of an efficient county agent.
Years Of experience have taught
Lewis county the great value to,
the farmer such a co-worker is.
