Friday, March 23, 1917. >ome of the editorials in this issue were written several days ago ana tvere crowded out of previous issues. "We have decided to let them go, though sonic of them may be a littie out of date. The calling of congress by the pres ident means that war is here. In fact the country is now really in a state of war. It may be that the go\ ernment in a few days will take charge-of everything and the country will be under military rule. There is no doubt in our mind that the people of this country do not want war and we believe that the election of President Wilson was due largely to the fact that the people 1 3 * 1 * ,-?Vi ! ? 1 H n ?> UeilPYCU LUai suuicuu n uv. n vuiu able to keep the country out of war. 2\o doubt he has done the best he could but the influence of the inter ests was too powerful. It looks now that the whole world will be involv ed before peace comes. A forced peace cannot be a lasting peace. Just by looking at a picture of Sen ator LaFollette one would think that he had good sense.?Pickens Sentinel. (And he has. You must not conclude that every man who does not agree with you is a fool. Abe Martin says if tbfere is any thing mean in a fellow nothing will bring it out like a little authority.? Greenwood Journal. And Abe spoke a parable when he made the remark. All of us have seen it demonstrated. We see that the officers in Oconee county have destroyed seven stills and. in addition to a whole lot of mash, they destroyed some two thous and gallons of beer. What a pity. ? : / After the rains will be a good time to drag the roads. And a little drag ging will do a world ot good ana win last all summer and relieve the roads of many holes and be a delight to those who travel whether in baggies, wagons, automobiles or Fords. Mr. Bryan said in a great speech which he made in New York a few weeks ago: "The fact remains that a public official who relies upon the metropolitan press for information as to what the people want is apt to be woefully misled." That is very true and pity it is that it is true. See how the steel works are mak ing money, and you can see what a great thing it has been to them to get their instruments of destruction to the belligerents, and in order to keep these magnates making more money we must go to war. The profits last year of the U. S. Steel company were something over two hundred millions as compared to some forty millions the year before. Of course, these people are "clamoring^ for war" be cause it means more milKons for tjiem w-hile the poor devil is fighting in the trench for 50 cents a day. We do not believe iaai uov. ^viau ning got any inspiration from Presi dent Wilson from which he could say that the "people are clamoring for war," as he is quoted as saying in a special from Washington. And the people are not "clamoring for war," and Woodrow Wilson is not "clamor ing for war." The people want peace aDd Woodrow 'Wilson wants peace. Of course, if there is no other course then the people will fight. Wonder why The State published in parallel columns this deliverance of our gov ernor and the report of Mr. Tumulty's speech in which he tola or tne pa tience and long suffering of Woodrow Wilson, and what a great man he is. No, Mr. Manning, the people are not "clamoring for war" and neither Is Woodrow Wilson ''clamoring for war." Take the hint? But the people will fight if fighting is necessary. ^ For the convenience of the sub scribers of The Herald and News In and around Pomaria they may pay their subscription to Mr. Walter Ricn ardson who is authorized to receipt I or me same. iuu v.m mm uim easi ly at most any time. He is vrith the Setzler company. At Prosperity you may pay Mrs. L. W. Harmon or Mr. Herman iWterts who are authorized to receipt for the money. Or if more convenient you may get a money order from the carrier and send it direct to the office at New berry. i We see by a dispatch from Wash ington that Gov. Manning called at the White House, and that he says he wants to fight right now. He wants to call for volunteers and wants to sum mon congress and wants the aggres sive use of the navy. In fact he seems to be in a fighting fit. And if fight ing comes where will he be? Hardly at the front, or in the trenches, or on the chasing submarines, mere wiu be plenty of officers and munitions and appropriations by congress, but it takes men to do the fighting. "Since Tve started to increase our military establishments for national defense our appropriations for the army have increased four hundred millions and the army has been increased by about 10,000 enlisted men of the line. We can get everything for an army "by appropriation except men. With out men we can have no army. We can get plenty of officers, eager for rank and thirsy for glory, but the lack is in fighting men for the line, ready to die in the ditch." We can get plenty of hot air, and leud talk about fighting, and if it was for the protection of our country j frcm invasion wo coi Id get jienty of fighting men, but we do not believe ' they are so plentiful when it is to i light for the protection of the money ! interest and they are not going to be i ^0 eager either. /A e had hoped that j our president was going to keep this ' country out of this war, but it looks ! now that we are to go in. We read somewhere that some colonel wan ! haJvi ~ thnnsanH | 5Uiii?; tu laivc <x nunui vu ? : our regulars to the tiring line in Eu ' ro-pe and show them Germans a thing or two, and this colonei talked about j bow we would be cheered when we i arrived. England and France and ! Russia have together taken about 21. OuO.OOO of the flower of their man hood and put them against that line, and they have scarcely made a den: in it, and if we are thinking of doing ' - " - i 1. ? 1 ? nrAi ? /w ?i ? rt nrn in nf Vi I Bumemmg iifj gumg uy a^aiuji <,_n ^ I line it will take millions of them to : do anything to turn the tide of bat ; tie. We pray God in his great wis j dom may guide the hand of those who ' have the destiny of this nation ! their keeping aright; and keep our ; young manhood safe. Somehow we i just can't feel that we have any busi i ness in this war, and that it is being i brought on to protect "the interests," j and that the young manhood of tills i nation should not be sacrificed for that purpose. For defense and the protection of our land from invasion we say every man should and woul<' | respond with a moment's notice ana | with hearty enthusiasm and patriotic t devotion, but when he goes now he , will not go with that same feeling, and ' yet he will go and defend the flag | when the country calls. There are at least a few of us, and we are just as good patriots and -Americans as any of the jingoes or the jingo press, who somehow believe that those much maligned eleven sen ators did the country a good service and relieved the president of a great responsibility. Under the constitu tion the only power authorized to de clare war is the congress of the United States and we do not see why the- eleven should be so abused be cause they were standing by the con stitution. The senator from Nebras ka expressed it something like this: Senator Norris. in transmitting his proposal for a referendum, wrote: "I am making this proposition in no spirit of enmity or ill will, 'neither am I at all confident in my own mind as to what the result of such an election would be. The denunciation I have received at the hands of the press and /vf mv />Aiiroa hr Li.iv> w u. u-iliULivii vl "-*J wu* ^ ^^ organizations and individuals, indicate to me that there is a strong probabil j ity that the course I have pursued is | unsatisfactory to the people whom I ! represent, and it seems to me there ! fore that the matter should be sub j mitted to them for decision. "I will not violate my oath of of fice, however, even at the behest of a unanimous constituency by voting in favor of a proposition that means the surrender of congress of its sole right to declare war, and the placing of that power in the hands of the president. niir fnrpfathprc fontrbf. tr? this : power away from the king. I will not vote to return it to him even though , he is designated by a milder name. I j am opposed to making a czar or a : kaiser out of the president. If any j refusal to do this is contrary to the wishes of the people of Nebraska, then I should be recalled and some; | one else selected to fill the place.'* j We do not ^ee how the senate could ' have authority to set at naught the provision of the constitution by dele fr<atir)or f n tVio nrQci/^ont Ktt mcrvliifinn the power to declare war.

Germany and Germany having block-! aded England, both in a manner that1 set at naught the rights of all neu- J trals. including the United States, wei would have been glad to have seer ; this country attempt a solution of the j problem from the standpoint of right i along lines something like this: Load j two vessels with provisions of as non- i contraband character as possible, one. for England and one for Germany. ( Let it be known to both countries in j advance just what we were going to i do. Then instruct the vessel that was; going to Germany to pay absolutely no attention to English warships fur- : ther than to submit to the right of< search, or forcible seizure, and tell the! vessel that was going to England to | do the same thing. Then if either j vessel was improperly dealt with by j the armed forces of either Germany j or England, it would be up to us to j back up our rights against the coun-1 try so interfering, with our army anj i navy. That is what we would like to i have seen, and we feel that in such a ; course the United States would be: justified in expending her last dollar] and her last man. But we know thai i - in such a world as we have this is too , idealistic. War considerations are far, more practical than this. Our states-; men have been looking for right; but j not necessarily for moral right. They I have sought rather the "right" or best! way to greater future wealth and j power.
