When Adam In bliss
Asked Eve for a kiss,
She puckered, her- lips with a coo;
Gave a look quite extatic.
And aaswered emphatic,
"I don't care Adam if I do."
:o:
Some men love to kick.
Such fellovfs arc good for noth
ing else.
:o:
Punish your enemy by doing him
a kindness.
Sneaking of mere scraps of paper,
'there's the. lease ou life.'"
-:o:
Now everybody can see what goes
on in the Treasury; it is under
Glass.
:oi
Army life also fits a man admir
ably for civilian clothes although
they may not be the same clothes he
left behind him.
:o;
Can anyone explain to us why it
is that although the- prices of" print
paper have gone skyward, writing
paper remains stationery?
-:o:-
Isn't it about time for Liebknecht
or- Ebert or somebody to issue a
statement about this "terrible civil
war which was forced upon us?"
:o:.
It is a great pity that we must
experiment with a score of follies,
most of them hoary with age, before
we can arrive at a point of wis
dom. -rot-
Germany probably will regard the
horseshoe peace table as a good
luck sign. Germany's luck, -she fig
ures couldn't be much worse than
it has been the last year.
-:o:-
"Stole $8,000 for the girl he lov
ed," says a headline. Such head
lines are unfortunate for they near
ly always arouse the jealousy of
women who have never been loved
like that.
-:o:-
Ilere we've been letting ourselves
be governed from Washington for a
hundred years or such a matter, and
then Senator Myers, discovers in a
bill, that Washington doesn't legally
exist! However, our-shock- i- noth
ing, to what Mr1. Brisbane's must be.
Mr. Brisbane bought a newspaper
there.
-- :o:
At a daiice. in a Rhine town the
other night an American second
lieutenant cut in and took the
Prince- of Wales' girl away from
him. There is talk that the prince
may marry an American girl. This
little incident should warn him that
he'd better hnrry her off to Eng
land the minute the engagement is
announced, or some second lieuten
ant may leave him sitting alone and
dejected on the church steps.
v .;ot
Who is the happiest man. on.
earth? It is the man who has just
had his salary raised, the man who
has just had his teeth filled and
knows he won't have- to- go back for
a year, or is it the man who has a
furnace which, only burns a ton of
coal all winter? No, it isn't any of
these. It's the editor who, . after
working like thunder all week has
some one tell him his paper is the
best on earth and he couldn't ' do
without it.

There is still some fiu in this old
town., but very few deaths.
The wise man takes a tumble. The
fool has it taken to- him.

Again the old adage seems, to
have been proved that all signs fail
in a dry year:
to:
W. Jl Bryan seems to be in the
limelight and from reports from
Washington it would appear that
Mrs. Bryan was liable to get in. also.
-:o:r
Don't worry about France and
America getting into any trouble be
tween themselves-. They have al
ways been associated with ties- that
bind.
-:o:-
While revolts are brewing in
scattered parts of Eu-pe. politics
is brewing in the Unite .1 States. Be
sides these, there Is- practically no
brewing.
to:
If ever this country produced &
man who had the courage and con
viction, that man was Roosevelt. He
didn't wait for things to happen, ho
made thorn-, happen.

We have a suspicion that a good
deal of' the criticism of .women's
styles, is made by men with asecrct
hope that they will be changed to
something, even; more radical.
:o: .
Let's make Plattsnioutb a- better
place in which to live. Improve
the homes, churches, schools and.
roads which the war stopped. Xew
homes are contemplated in the
spring.
:o:
If, as Secretary Lane says, some
body had. to. go- over and heal the
European nations. President Wilson
was the man to do it-. America is
about the only well heeled nation
remaining, today.

A For d?. owner- complains that in
extremely cold weatl-.er he is unablo
to find a device for ct mpletely drain
ing the radiator. One fellow pre
scribes holding it upside down and
letting the water run out.
:o:
The kaiser, who was ill a week
ago, has recovered, mainly from a
lack, of sympathy. Doubtless many
other recoveries of this kind have
taken place, which are not record
ed in the medical journals.
-:o:
The, War Department has given
General Wood a, number of orders,
which, he. has. obcyod implicity with
out comment-. The War Depart
ment ought to become convinced
that the general is a good soldier
after a while.
:o:-
Itv is hoped the guaranteed prices
and the big wheat acreage won't
produce, wheat alone this year. The
average man's inward feelings tell
him lie can guarantee a consider
able individual consumption of corn
bread this year, too.
:o:
One Yank who wrote, borne from
Fraace stales plainly that the fight
ing, did not cease when the armis
tice was signed.. They were station
ed in German barracks and the coot
ies continued to wage war on them
regardless of the fact that the Boche
had takon their departure.
-rot
We might be able to minister to
Germany's needs with more justice
and intelligence if" more Intelligent
and consistent reports came out of
Germany. In one column wc read
that Berlin waiters arc on strike;
in another we read that the Sparta-
cans, have broken in and helping
themselves to food; and in a third
we. rea.4 that. Germany has no. food.
WAGES AND LIVING COST,
Trof. Irving Fisher has made an
investigation, of' which the results
are published by trie bureau of la-.
bor statistics, showing- that the
number of establishments which
vary wages- with, the fluctuations in
the cost of living, scientifically com
puted, is growing. The Evening
Post listed some time. agOr the
Bankers' Trust company, the-Oneida
Community, the Kelley-How-Thamp
son Hardware company of DulutH,
the Worthington Hardware com
pany of Cleveland, and others. Prof.
Fisher adds a clothing company in
Cleveland, a business anpliauce
company in New Haven,, and var
ious Northwestern flouring- mill3
which, have raised, wages according
to an "index number" calculated by
professors at the University of
Washington. But he points out a
the chief use of index figures that
by the shipbuilding labor adjust
ment board and. the national war
labor- board in settling wage dis
putes. The former has adopted the
plan of making semi-annual wage
adjustments in all shipbuilding
centers on tbe basis of living-cost
figures presented by the bureau of
labor statistics, and the latter was
recently considering the introduc
tion of quarterly adjustments. The
substitution of a scientific for a
rule-of-thumb treatment of . wage
changes is certainly tp be encour
aged. It has ona advantage for the
employer; rule-of-thumb changes
mu6t be upwards, or the employe Is
keenly dissatisfied; while the use
of index numbers may show why
reductions have to be made. New

IS BRYAN TURNING TO CLARK?
Behold there ariseth a littlo cloud
out of" the sagebrush like a man's
band. Vague Washington dispatchr
es tell us that Bryan. Bryan of Ne
braska, Bryan of the score of arbi
tration treaties, Bryan the champ
ion of Wilson in 1912. is turning to
Champ Clark as the best man to be
a. democratic candidate for the
presidencyin 1920; that old differ
ences have been made up .and that
if Woodrow Wilson dreams of a
third term he must reckon on
substantial opposition. 4
Champ Clark, so long speaker of
tbe house, has plenty of friends and
admirers in many states. At Balti
more, for eight ballots, he had a
clear majority of the delegates for
the presidential nomination. Does
anyone seriously believe that it
would have been better for the
party or for the country if he had
been the nominee and had been
successful? Mr. Bryan beat him.
Mr. Bryan identified his support
with Wall street and the hated in
fluences of plutocracy. And Clark,
very sore, believed that he would
never forgive Bryan, whom he had
supported in three hot fights, for
this desertion. Perhaps he has re
considered. Clearly, Bryan ha3 re
considered more than one point in
the" last six years. It Is fair to say.
however, that the Nebraskan had
not antagonized Clark until the
speaker declined to "come out
against Wall street." Ho had not
used, his influence in any state to
prevent the eelction of Clark dele
gates.
The distinguished MIssourian 13
68 years old now. He will be 70
when the campaign of 1920 come",
on. Can. he come back? We hardly
think so. Can Bryan bring him
back? Probably not. Most prac
tical politicians are convinced al
ready that either President Wilson
will take a nomination again or will
follow the example of Theodore
Roosevelt and pick his own success
or. He isn't likely to pick Bryan
or Clark. And against him toth to
gether can make very little head
way, for reasons obvious to any man
who is not a. confirmed idealist and
blind to the substantial forces that
control cur politics. Brooklyn

SUPPRESSING THE REDS.
Congress has before it a uumbar
of. bills calling for drastic limitation
on immigration in the nest few
years. The measures have two
avowed purposes:
First, to prevent an influx of
cheap workmen who may demoral
ize the labor market during, the re
adjustment period;
Second, to keep bolshevik organ
izers out of the country.
The Republic is in sympathy with
both purposes. Until our returned
soldiers are- taken care of industrial
ly and until the demand for labor
exceeds the supply we should . bar
the doors against newcomers.. We
are inclined to believe, however,
that the European countries will
take adequate steps to see that their
man power, already cut down by
the war, is not further doploted by
emigration.
Bolsheviki fanatics should by all
means be kept out.
There is need in America for in
dustrial and social reform, but there
are enough broad-minded and earn
est men in this country to see that
it is brought about. We need no
wild agitators from- Russia and
Germany to bring the light to us.
But there is a warning note v.e
wish to sound. We can keep agita
tors out of the country by law, but
we cannot keep agitation out hy con
gressional enactment. Movements
such as bolshevism spread through
the air; they pass from country to
country without human agency;
they come with the breezes from
overseas.
While congress is getting ready
to keep the agitators out, they
might give some thought to the
matter of laying the bolshevist agi
tation we have with us now. There
is much that can be done in Wash
ington, not in the way of penal laws
against socialistic utterances, but
in the matter of removing, the caus
es of unrest upon, which bolshevism
feeds.
Elimination of child labor, heavy
inheritance and excess profit taxes.
severe punishments for food com
binations, drastic penalties for in
flation and financial juggling and
long penitentiary sentences instead
of fines for rich malefactors would j
help.
We do not expect that legislation
will completely lay the unrest and
prevent the spread of bolshevism. It
will take a moral awakening to do
that, an era of greater humanity,
but proper laws properly enforced
will go a long way toward remedy
ing the evils of our national life.
