GERMAN HOST HELD

London, Aug. 4.—Rear guard fight-
ing of the Russians "to the northwest
of Warsaw has proved so effective
that the German tide seems to have
been held up, while to the south Field
Marshal Von Mackenscn’s forces push-
ing to the north from Lublin are be-
ing badly .battered.
About the only Austro-German pro-
gress chronicled off the vast semi-cir-
cle front in the east is toward Riga,
in the extreme north, and before
Ivangorod.
Warsaw still holds out, and the hope
that the Polish capital may yet be
through-

saved is becoming stronger
out Russia, France and Great Britain.
'The German press notes the pause
in the Teutonic offensive and explains
that with the daily lengthening of
communications the problem of trans-
port and reinforcements becomes more
complicated, which accounts for the
delay. At the same time the efficiency
of the Russian rear gaurd blows is
not disregarded by the German news-
papers. The German emperor and his
consort heretofore reported on their
way to Warsaw for the triumphant en-
try, have had, perforce, to postpone
the completion of their trip.
From Warsaw comes the optimistic
prediction that if the city is able to
endure a week longer—and the dis-
patch was written four days ago—the
exacuation may be avoided. Although
thousands of civilians have fled, the
life of the beleaguered capital is pic-
tured as fairly normal.
The British empire observed with
prayer today the anniversary of the
declaration of war. Services were be-
ing held in London and in the pro-
vinces and throughout the dominions
and colonies.

SHIP CAR OF WHEAT,
J. L. Rutherford and his renters
have shipped a car of 721 bushels of
wheat to the Beatrice Milling Co., at
Whitewright this week, for which
they received $1.05 per bushel. On
account of rains the wheat was slight-
ly damaged in the shock and this
caused the price to be low,
WATCH OU'R WINDOWS
This is
the first car of wheat shipped out of
this market since the late Col. H. C.
Thruston some twenty years ago
shipped a car which did not pay him
anything. Mr. Rutherford is prepar-
ing to put in a large acreage next sear
son and will assist his renters to do
likewise.—Optic Herald.
The above looks good, and carries
us back to the good old times in
Franklin county when they used to
grow wheat and had their own floqr
at home. People got by in those dajhs,
though there were no wire fences,
electric lights and autos. The return
to wheat in Franklin county js a step
forward that ygives promises for bet-
ter times for local prosperity and
self independence. We believe a small
acreage in wheat by every farmer
would be wise, prudent and profitable
for many reasons. It would rest the
soil, furnish a fine crab grass pasture
for hogs and stock. Don’t understand
us to say we want to go< back to old
methods, but there are exceptions to
all rules, and we think there are

happened before,
man served as District Attorney at the
time of Becker’s trial and used his
best talents to convict him
he is now
Governor and had the last say as to
whether or not the mandates of the
court should be enforced; it was only
natural that he would not interfere.
Again, Justice J'ord, who presided at
the trial of Becker, is now on the
Court of Criminal Appeals, and again
Becker’s appeals were useless.
Hence, it appears that, since it is
the Governor's perogative to stay the
death sentence, or even grant a full
pardon, and since the Court of Crimin-
al Appeals often has to act on cases
after the* petit jury has assessed
THE DOCTRINE OF FIRMNESS.
1 -4* * ;* N»
Since neither Germany or England
seems to .have the^remotest idea of
with the demands of the
United States, and since President
Wilson has stated emphatically that
tiiip| 'demands MUST be met, it
wmdd appear that Mr. Bryan’s state-
iplit that the policy of “firmness
leads to war,*’ might be highly appli-
cable to present conditions. In other
words, somebody is going to have to
relent in their “firmness” or else the
UjUted States must go to war. The
further we drift from that famous
' “second note” to Germany, the strong-
er we become in our belief that Mr.
Bryan was right in refusing to sign
it, as it further committed our na-
tion to a position of “firmness” which
lS 'Ooing to be calamitous to* back up.
'; - Our national honor, which is held so
sacred, could have been protected
without such a position of firmness,
< but since we have adopted the policy
of “thou fchall apd thou must” it is
doubtful whether our honor and dig-
nity as a nation can be maintained,
abort of a litteral enforcement of our
'demands; and, the way matters now
■stand, it appears that shot and shells
i eda be our only convincing argument.
Mr. Bryan seemed to fefresee this;
: President Wilson either didn’t, or is
. not such an ardent peace advocate
>v” as'his words would imply. From our
.view-point* the United States is in &iv
unfortunate muddle—one that oculd
haye and should have been avoided.

WOULD FIX HIM.
Pat came out of the house laughing
all over his face. He started down
the street, turned the corner in the
direction of the saloon, still laughiiig,
when he ran into a friend.
“Say, what strikes you as so fun-
ny?” inquired the friend .
“Well,” says Pat, “Mike’s been in
the habit of hitting my vest pocket
where I carry my cigars, and break
ing them all the time. Be jabbers,
I’ll fix him now; I got a stick of dy-
namite in there.”—Philadelphia Re-

GENERAL EXODUS FROM
„ PORT OF RIGA, RUS8IA
Riga, Aug. 4.—Owing to the exodus
of families from Riga, the shipping
agencies are overworked' and are re-
fusing further orders for the shipment
of household goods.
The# departure of workingmen from
the city has caused an emergency
which the Russian government is
meeting by establishing temporary
employment agencies here and in in-
terior places.
Riga is the seat of the governor
general of Baltic provinces. It is the
capital of the province of Lyonia and
is situated on the River Duna, about
five miles above its mouth, in the
Gulf of Riga, and 312 miles southwest
of ePtrograd. Riga is the principal
Russian seaport on the Baltic next to
Petrograd. It has a population of
about 300,000.

A MATTER OF HAIR.
A young lady who had quarreled
with her bald-headed lover, said in
discussing him, “What is delightful
about you, is that I have not the trou-
ble of sending you back any of your
locks of hair.”
His reply was: “Had you given me
one you would not have known whose
lock you were sending.”—Ex.
