Neb.. aecood-clasa ma.Il matter R. A. BATES, Publishe. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 Friends of Carter Glass have not yet despaired of finding an office for which he is suited. They're now dressing him up for president. -:o: Why should Mr. Hoover be asked to declare his politics by the Georgia democrats, or by anyone else? Hasn't he just said he is not a candidate? -:o: One of the lessons we learn from Hie last years, the things we insist upon will be made terms of the ar mistice, instead of the peace treaty. Information that Lenine's salary is eight thousand rubles a month would be more illuminating if we knew what a ruble was worth in terms of groceries. :o:- Rir Oliver Lodge's description of the next world pictures a being that might easily be worse. While he Fays the men do not smoke, neither do the women dance. Germany's offer to try her own of fenders against the rules of war is a generous one, at least. Sounds like murdered offering to act as judge and jury in his own trial. After drinking three quart!" of bay Turn, a bottle of milk and eating a dish of pickles, a Delaware man is dead. But everybody ought to know that milk and pickles are a combina tion that is deadly. Those who fret for the paucity of feminine clothing should take a more cheerful view. Spring is coming is coming with its high collared suits, and then summer will follow, furs, sweaters and all. "Why does the doctor prescribe more sleep?" queries an advertiser. It's a great mystery, and especially after having prescribed it for years and years to patients who never pay anv attention to it. :o:- Of course there is but one logical man for the chairmanship of the na tional baseball commission, and of course that is Herbert Hoover. But of course lie is not a candidate, and that is why they are still looking. -:o:- Senator Gronna wants Congress to take tighter control of uieat packers. They are slippery ducks and unless somebody tightens down on them they are likely to drive another "dis solution" bargain with the courts. SusDicions that the ex-kaiser is losing his mind are based mainly on the fact that he is regaining his tem per. Which is no sign at all un-ljg less. ncrchance. he is gaing a little judgment along w ith them temper. I -:o: A young woman telephone operat or vecentlv attended a watchnight service and fell asleep during the sermon. At the close the preacher said: "We will now sing hymn No. 341 341." The young woman, jus wakinsr in time to hear the number vawncd and said: "The line is busy.' ill one of the Saturday Evening Post stories this week, the business success of the hero dates from the ilav nn which he discovered that the law of supply and demand stands in business much as "Absence makes thp Viosri. irrow fonder" stands in literature lovely for quoting pur poses. :o: Two aviators recently fell a thou- ea n d feet in Virginia and because they refused to tell their names when nirkpil u n. their rescuers think them r ' r ' a mysterious pair. How would you like to tell your name after hitting the ground from a thousand foot drop? Dou you think anybody would have a right to suspect you of idiocy because you didn't answer? PES YEAR IN ADVANCE "Consumer hike," says a that be nice. pays the coal wage headline. Gee, won't :o: The body of D. Ward King lies moulding in the grave, but his road drag goes marching on. :o:- If the real people will go to work. even the politicians will not be able to ruin the country. :o:- Why all this talk about a new 2- cent pieoe, while the buffalo nickel answers identically the same pur pose? Even when an anti is as dry as a desert he 'will tell you he doesn't believe national prohibition will pro hibit. Washington, the preliminary cen- sus figures show, has four 437,000 people, but some of whom are not on the government pay roll. Some days we are quite enthusias tic for Herbert Hoover, and then again we recall that it might mean four years more corn meal mush. :o:- What do you think of New York bandits going in a Tammany club and pulling off a holdup? What did they ithink they were doing re hearsing for election day? :o: Attorney General Palmer says he is going to lower the retail price of meat, or know the reason why. Well, that's one thing the dealer always has in stock a reason why. :o:- A soliloquy of the abject slavery to fashion and the absolute inconsisU ency of garb, may be easily called forth by seeling the women in straw (spring hats in zero weather. :o:- Times have changed and the peo ple have changed with them. Not many moons ago we frequently heard the expression merry." Now heard. 'Eat, drink and be this is no longer The ice cream freezer was invent ed by a woman according to the De troit News, and it sounds reasona ble. If a man had invented it he would have made it so a woman could run it without any assistance from him. -:o: OH, SEE THE STORM CLOUDS! The debonair face of Myron Learned, chairman of the republican state committee by virtue of th resignation of Beryl Kirk's efficient attorney, wears a worried look. It not due principally to the high cost of living or the lamentable ab sence of bird baths from bird cen ters. It it caused by something far more serious. For the non-partisan league is out to capture the republican party in Nebraska, and name its candidates, as it nas already done m Jortn .Da kota and threatens to do in Minne sota. It wants to put the Plumb plan for public ownership and soviet control of the railroads at public ex pense into operation, it proposes to use the public funds for the public credit to create state packing plants. flour mills, stock yards, creameries, elevators, beet sugar p!ants, abba- toirs, cold storage warehouses, pow er plants and telegraph and tele phone lines and put its own select ed men into office to operate them according to the plans, specifications and desires of Mr. Townley of Min nesota. The league has already announced its candidates for governor, lieuten ant governor and attorney general and will enter them in the primaries. Hhere is a pretty how(-do-you-do! Chairman Learned had already on his hands the most unpopular gover nor in the history of the state. He is a candidate for renomination, a victim of the delusion that the of his destiny ia not. setting but star T pr ins. On the theory that anybody could beat McKelvie four seperate and distinct candidates have pre cented themselves against Nebraska': Little Napoleon in the republican primaries McMullen, Pollard, Mc Laughlin and Hall. Now, with the ifield so hopelessly divided, along comes the pestiferous non-partisan league and enters another candidate, its own Elmer E. Youngs, a farmer, of Dawson county. The perils of that situation, from Chairman Learneds viewpoint, are sufficiently obvious. Had the N. P. L. kept out of it, McKelvie might have won the nomination through a scattering of the vote opposed to him. That would be bad enough. But now. with the new entry assur ed the solid support or an organiza tion that may bring heaven knows how many thousand voters to the polls in a solid block. It Is easily pos sible that McKelvie will be beaten, all his regular republican opponents go down with him, and the non-partisan league nominate the candidate and pin the Grand Old Party as 'a red, red rose on Its weather-beaten breast. Perhaps the alternative will be McKelvie or the non-partisan league: Is it strange that Chairman Lear- ned's face looks drawn and haggard? Or that Luther Drake and Nels Up dike and Walter Head and the other G. O. P. bosses who have their hab itat in Omaha are looking wildly about for a secluded spot in which to confer and for Pete's sake do something! Class against class. Special in terest against special interest. The result, either way under republican rule, class government, growing class antagonism, more monkey wrenches thrown into the complex machinery of popular government. Fortunately the democratic par- tv, which is ruled by no class, which stands for no class, but which broad ly and generouslv represents all the people on the hallowed platform of equal rights for all and special priv ileges to none fortunately it offer haven of refuge. To it all good men and true turn as they note the danger signals. To its protecting folds oil citizens are ever welcome who are content with the square deal who do not ask that the government be controlled so as to give them an edge over others on the outside. The heathen may rage. Old ma chine may battle with new machine. The class that already enjoys privi lege with the class that longs for it. The clash may precipitate a tempest terrible in its fury. But through it all the democratic party will stand; as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land, inviting all who are dis tracted and confused and fearful to come to it. It is a good time to set tle down and be calm and fair and sensible. Why not, for a good beginning. recister and vote in the democratic primaries this spring? There opens In them, the way to political safety and salvation for Nebraska.
