Anyhow the overall army is find

:o:
This Nebraska climate well, it
fools the average Nebraskan as well
as eery one else.
":o:
How can the overall army be ex
pected to win its war without the
support of a kitchen apron auxil
iary? :o:
Governor Allen, for that matter,
might make a play for the spirtyistic
vote By giving his address as
Ouijata, Kas.
:o:
As a general thing, the reason a
man thinks he's having a good time
when he is spending a lot of money
Is because he knows he will doubt
It next day.
:o:
Years ago they were called "pho
tograph galleries". Now by some
curious process they have become
Vtudios". Perhaps they may yet
become clinics.
-:o:-
A West Dallas widow says that
the reason she broke her lst en
gagement was because her fiance
seemed to feel that all the wr:ld was
a stage and his function was to be
part of the scenery.
:o:
A vicar has written to the press
complaining indignantly of a Lon
don firm's offer to supply sermons
at five shillings each. We are not sur
prised. Five shillings is a. lot-of
money to give for a sermon.
:o:
One astronomer says Mars may
not try to send us a word message at

instead. If the note sounds -like a

A girl likes a promising young

"We have had occasion to notice
lately that men get into politics who
couldn't get into anything else.

The man who can't feel cheerful

The swindler watches with a
shrewd and all-seeing eye every de

Gosh darn it, here's more trouble.
The Pullman company has applied
for an increase of rates, thus adding
to the high cost of sleeping.
:o:-
Just a friendly tip to the ladies
of Nebraska: This is the season of
fitful April showers, so be careful
about your new spring hat.
:o:
The weather man's idea of clean
up week was to start off with a good
soaking. It is hoped he will remem
ber that sunshine also has its cleans
ing qualities.
Jim Ham Lewis is announced as
a candidate for vice-president. That
set of pink whiskers would certainly
match the other furniture in the
senate chamber.
:o:
A Florida man claim lo own a
pullet that laid thirty-nine eggs in
thirty-eight "days, and some of them
contained double yolks, and we claim
that Florida man is merely a very
crude liar.
:o:
To be effective in time of war a
soldier must, in addition to wearing
a uniform, shoot, and in the time of
battle against the high cost of liv
ing, the citizen must, in addition to
wearing Overalls, get down and work
and increase production.

D. B. EBERSOLE,
PLATTSMOUTH - -:- -:- NEBRASKA
An astonishing editorial appeared
in a New York paper recently. It
advocated the nomination of a big
man for vice-president, contrary to
the usual custom of devoting that
nomination to making sure the elec
toral vote of some uncertaiistate by
playing on its local pride.
We can remember only one vice,
presidential nomination not disposed
of. on that idea. Governor Roosevelt
of New York was named on the Mc
Kinley ticket because Tom Piatt
wanted to get rid of him in New
York. The easy boss found him un
comfortable in his political business.
Hanna, at that time director-general
or patronage for McKinley, had no
desire for Roosevelt's selection, but
was won over by party policy argu
ments. Governor Roosevelt himself
was not itching to be shelved in the
vice-presidency, but again expedi
ency prevailed.
And now comes the suggestion
that no uncertain quantity be chos
en for second place on the Chicago
ticket. It is a good one. It might
be made a rule of national conven
tions that every man seeking the
presidential nomination should
pledge to accept seconu place if de
feated for the first honor. That
would usually insure the selection
of the two strongest men before the
convention a consummation dc-
voutlv to be wished.
:o:
"In dubbing Henry Cabot Lodge
the head of the poison squad in the
anti-Wilson conspiracy case John
Sharp Williams excoriates, but dots
not exaggerate", says the Louisville
Courier-Journal.
-:o:
Unlike many strong partisans, wo
do not believe Attorney General Pal
mer should be blamed for everything.
Th'ere are probably some conditions
in this country today which would
baffle an attorney general who was
not running for president.
