Don't be too hasty about it.

And still beautiful weather.

Monastory always becomes, after
a while, very monotonous.

We arc always passing through
the most trying period of human
history.

What has become of the Commer
cial Club? Now don't all speak at
once.
; :o:
When you see an excited man he
is probably trying to raise the wind
to meet the draft.
:o:
If the violent death was what
liosa Luxemburg, we see no reason
why we should kick 'way over here.
:o:
The wise Plattsmouth boy first
ki.-iscH the girl and then reasons
with her and aks her permission.
:o:
From the way they are behaving
themselves in Berlin and Germany,
they are hardly entitled to a place
at a peace table.
: :o
Young fellow bear in mind that
the girl who will not help her moth
er before marriage will not help
you after marriage.
:o:
With Enrope needing 1,400,000
tons of our food the outlook for a
little bit cheaper grub here at home
is not very promising.
:o:
What will iot profit the United
States if provides absolute for Eur

go. back to true democracy at home
and show Europe how it is done.
:o:
When the Sinn Fein envoys ar
rive in Paris will they present to
the peace congress, as their creden
tials, the record in the Casement
case showing Germany's activity in
the Dublin insurrection?
:o:
It appears that one of the brew
ing companies which prided itself en
making near-beer so well has been
making it too near. Now is a feood
time for those companies to begin
seeing how far they can miss mak
ing beer.
:o:
The position of some senators
seems to be that while they care
nothing for the 100 million dollars
necessary to feed Europe's hungry,
they cannot surrender the principl6
that no sum above $40 should be
intrusted to Mr. Hoover.
i to:
It is said that the Bolshevist
leaders in Germany might have
been cleared out long before they
were, but for the fact that when
they found themselves hard pressed
by the Ebert forces they cunningly
ran and took refuge in a brewery.
This may serve to answer the Kan
sas editor's recent question as to
what became of the old fashioned
boy who soaked a friend with a
snowball and then stood In front of
a plate glass window.

Some fellows would feel a whole

A great many things, in the eat-

benefit if they don't watch the mar-I

It will not be long now until our
head flyers will be able to eat

There are always some residents
of a town that the people can get

&ong just as well without. But
how are you going to get rid of
thorn?
That's the question.
to:
After all, though, there is much
to suupport Mr. J. Ogden Armour's I
contention that his iirm is not part
of a trust. Sales of S61 million
dollars do not, off hand, strike one
as being part of anything.
:o:
isn't it a wonderful comfort, you
fellows just about second draft age,
to be told, when your hair is found
to. be coming out in great hand-
fuls, that it is on account of your
late flu, and that it probably will
grow back?
: :o:
The broadness of Cardinal Gib-
bons's humanity is shown in his ap
peal for aid for the Armenians and
Syrians. They are not of his church.
But they are Christians oppressed
oy .uouaiumcuaiis, and they are
hungry. That's enough for the
cardinal.
:o:
The state board of education has
resolved not to invest any of the
permanent school funds in any
bonds not bearing at least 5 per
cent interest annually. That means
that none of those fuuds are to be
invested in Liberty bonds, and if
other people followed in the foot
steps of the board there would be
mighty light sales of the next is
sue. :o: :
Now that the war Is over, the
government should give the people
back some of the freedom they en
joyed before the war. For instance,
let the freedom of open competition
prevail in the groceryship, the
butchershop. the buttership, the
eggshop, the drugshop and the rail
njadshop. McAdoo's prices may
hav.e been all right for war pur
poses, but they are dead wrong on
(an everyday basis.
A NOTE ON IGNORANCE.
Some people think that ignorance
is merely an accumulation of facts.
But that hypothtesis reveals a lack
ol imagination. Ignorance, any
more than knowledge, is not con
cerned with facts. It is concerned
quite largely with feeling, and feel
ing is the product of one's general
intelligence.
The Germans had plenty of facts
at their disposal, but they were ig
norant. Their feeling was not in
telligently distributed over certain
areas of their national conscious
ness. This is true, more or less, of all
of us. When we are truly ignorant,
it is a case of arrested develop
ment in certain directions. A man
who has not brought up a family
may have at his call all the statis
tics about families. But he is truly
ignorant in the sense of not being
I developed in the feelings that inti-
1
mate contact with one's family pro
duce.
To have knowledge of a particular
thing is simply to have come in
contact with it in such a manner
that one's feeling has been aroused
about it
We acquire knowledge largely by
contemplation and meditation. But
the thing we are learning must im
pose itself upon us in such a way
that we are forced to understand it
through our feelings and not our
minds.
There is nothing harder to over-
come than hrnorance. It must be
beaten to a standstill. We have
done this to the Germans. We must
nov conclude our mora! contract by
bringing them into contact with the
right things. Thomas L. Mason in
tne Outlook.
G0MPERS AND HIS MISSION.
While it may be possible that too
many causes, even those legitimate
ones of races and nationalities rep
resenting grave problems, may he
forced on the peace conference, the
new mission or Mr. Uoinpers. who
has gone abroad to interest the con-
ference ia his Inter-national Feder
at ion of Labor, is an extremely
practical one and quite without the
chimerical ideas which have thrown
suspicion on so many other projects
which the peace conference is to
oe asked to settle. Moreover, Mr
Gomners in leaving, as has been his
wont, spoke in no uncertain tones
as to organized labor's objection to
(he Rusp,a po,gon which would
boUsh pQVcrty by rt,ducng aI1 hu
man beings to a condition quite be
low that which is called poverty in
civilized industrial states. It is al
so to be noted that Mr. Gomper's
international federation idea is a
federation of nationally well-organ
ized and mutually self-respecting
bodies. This kind of international
ism .similar to that proposed for a
league of real nations, is quite the
opposite of the formless interna
tionalism of the German and Rus
sian extremists, who would gain a
world-wide rule of the nebulous in
capacity by first destroying all those
things that the capable among the
leading nations have built up with
such toil and travail over hundreds
of years. Mr. Gompers has always
had a clear vision on this issue and
he has ever stood for an -articulated
and national scheme of things in his
labor organizations and not the
spineless jelly-fish type that is now
threatening eastern Europe with
out form or function except a ca
pacity to destroy. Much good will
doubtless come from Mr. Gomper's
conferences, and not the least will
be his heartening message to
French, British and Italian labor
that social and industrial progress
lies through evolution of the hands-around-the-world
idea and net
through devolution toward the in
dividualism of cavemen and their
haphazard communal life. Phil
adelphia Ledger.

EUROPEAN AGRICUL
TURAL CONDITIONS
The .Secretary of Agriculture has
just given out a statement summar
izing the results of a study of ag
ricultural conditionals in Englaud,
France and Italy which was made
by a special Commission appointed
in August, 1918. The Commission
arrived in Liverpool on September
5, 1918, and made its investiga
tions between that date and Octob
er 29, 191 S. when it left Liverpool
for this country.
The Commission consisted of W.
O. Thompson, President of Ohio
State University, Chairman; Carl
Vrooinan, Assistant Secretary of Ag
riculture; H. A. Pearson, President
Iowa State College of Agriculture;
Thomas F. Hunt, Dean of the Col
lege of Agriculture, University of
California; William A. Taylor, Chief
of the Bureau of Plant Industry;
David 11. t'oker. Cotton Grower,
Hartsvillo, S. C; Georgu M. Iloin-
ruel, Chief of the Division of Ani
mal Husbandry; and George It. Ar
go, of the Bureau of Markets.
Although the work of the Coin
mission was completed prior to the;
Armistice, which was signed on No
vember 11, the suggestions and rec
ommendations are of special econom
ic value in connection with the up
praisement of the agricultural re
sponsibilities of the United States
for the year 1919, and also for th
years immediately following. Fur
thermore thev disclose certain new
angles of international respousibil
ity and interest, as explained in the
following paragraphs quoted from
the Secretary's summary of the
Commission's report:
"Some of the outstanding facts
are:
"Great Britain s war agriculture
in 19 IS increased her home-grown
bread supplies fourfold.
"France's production of foods do
creased sharply, especially in sugar
beets, which were grown principal
ly in the northern area, where the
ravages of war were greatest.
"France's production of bread-
stuffs also declined, though the pro
duction of 1918 was somewhat bet
ter than the production of 1917.
"In Italy there has been some
reduction of the cultivated area.
but except for wheat the reduction
in the volume of breadstutTs has not
been very serious.
"Italy's wheat production in 1913
was estimated at 43,000,000 quint-
lis (220 pounds), compared with
4, 153. 000 quintals in 1914.
:o:
The penalty for being good nat-
n red is that you always get imposed
upon.
:o:
Here is a question that will be, up
for decision in a few weeks: May a
girl wear a service pin for her beau
in Southern baseball camp? or here
at home, either?
:o:
Now that Missouri, Nebraska and
almost every state in the nation
have ratified the dry amendment,
there is less need for reconsidera
tion of capital punishment.
:o:
One Plattsmouth man said to us
the other day that the reason black
socks are more popular than white
socks is that a fellow can wear a
pair of black ones till they crack,
and they'll still hold their color.
:o:
Kggs are lower; the hens are lay
ing more, tccordiug to the market
figures. Butter also is coming down,
for the same reasons, allowing for
the substitution of cows for hens.
Well, if the hens and the cows
think spring is here, we don't care
what the groundhog says.
:o:
Of course we don't know Just what
time our boys will get home, but
we should keep agitating the Home
Coming Celebration. No one but
slackers can oppose sach a move
ment and we all know why they
hate to see -our boys returning. It
is not a healthy movement for the
slackers.
:o: -
It is now reported that sixty
counties in Nebraska have lady
county superintendents. Cass coun
ty enjoyed the first one. in the per
son of Miss E. Foster, who served
two terms and acquitted herself
nwt creditably. The present coun
ty superintendent is Miss Alpha
Peterson .and like Miss Foster she is
an accomplished lady, "and is doing
her duty to the letter. ,

says in so many words:
The convention shall consiM of

If the law-makers observt
Hi-ir
oath of office to obey the constitu
tion of the state, how can they pro
vide for the election of members of
the constitutional convention in a
manner different troni the methods
observed in their own election?
For ourselves, we would much
prefer to have a portion of the seats
in the convention filled by election
of delegates to represent the state
at large, which is done, for example,
in New York state. rather than
have them all chosen by legislative
districts, but to demand that now.
in the face of the constitutional pro
vision would be foolish, because use
less.
To urge that the delegates to the
convention be presented as "non
partisans" rather than as party
nominees is nothing but a piece of
petty camouflage, unless its advo
cates are ready to go the wnole
length of chocsing members of th?
legislature without reference to
party affiliation. What difference is
there between making the laws and
making the constitution in the mut
ter of party responsibility except in
degree?
And then, when we get that fur.
is there any difference between the
state legislature and the national
lgislature, or any more or less reas
on for electing congressmen or sena
tors as republicans or democrat-
instead of as pretended nonparti
sans?
The elimination of partisanship
may be all right in judicial or pure
ly administrative or scientific fie 1 do
but give us a rest on thf "non
partisan" bunk for offices that are
essentially political, and therefore
necessarily partisan. Omaha Bee.
