Everybody does. :o: It may not be Coolidge's fault but his dog don't hold the Job as well as Laddie Boy did. :o: Two Monticello (N. Y.) 16-year-olds eloped, which leaves them a long time for arguing. We can hardly wait for the news papers these fall day3 to see who is shot or arrested. :o: Looks as if republicans will bet on democrats and vice versa in the next presidential election. :o: It's getting so when you hear a fire wagon you wonder what garage or filling station it is.

Well, that will help starve or deforesta tion for another month or two. -:o:- Having failed to obtain his opin ions on other important questions, the Washington correspondents ought to ask President Coolidge what he thinks of mayonnaise dressing. :o: Perhaps that Chicago man who had his ear bitten off by a friend will listen next time. Ofter we have had to jerk our ears out of the mouth of some confidential whispering friend. :os A man never tells his wife when he goes home that he and a bunch of fellows chewed the rag. He always says we were in conference. Not so when he refers to his wife's tea party. :o: Senator Kellogg the new ambas sador to London, is an authority on International law, but just what use he will find for. that knowledge abroad is not clear. In Europe there is no international law. :o: ' It is hard enough for a man who has worked to put in a full day un til he grows old. How much harder it must be for the aristocrats who come from Europe to buckle down to real work?

Tod many vot ers will oppose tne subjection 6t a young man to an intelligence test at the most disadvantageous moment in his career. WuODROW WILSON At frequent intervals the public is Invited to read a chronological state ment of the daily life of Woodrow j Wilson. Inspired letters, evidently !in a more advantageous position than i their colleagues, are able to inform the public the exact hour of the ris ing and going to bed of Mr. Wilson; the exact moment he sits down to breakfast, when he opens his mail, ! when he dictated to his stenographer and when he rides in his automobile. No doubt such statements, though written for another purpose, cause Mr. Wilson to smile. He knows that no outsider knows anything about him or ihs habits. It is recalled that when Mr. Wil son, retiring from the White House, announced that he would reside in Washington, his political enemies, fearing the power of the man, ex pressed belief that eh had conclud ed to remain on the scene for pur pose of picking out and exposing flaws in the administration of affairs by republicans: for the purpose of getting even with those political par- i tisans who defeated his proposal in- j volving the League of Nations. j Likewise, it is recalled thai iome j of his political friends entertained the same idea, and many nurtured I the hope that he would continue to give battle to the end that those who had wrecked his international dreanu might be brought to justice and held up to scorn and contempt. It is not going too far to declare that Mr. Wilson was aware of the fear of his enemies and the hopes of his friends. It is evident that he concluded to surprise his enemies and disappoint his friends In order that he might become, with proper dig nity, a private citizen, an observer of passing events from the sidelines. Since the date of his retirement, many things have transpired which might have suggested to the former president an opportunity to belabor, j to destroy his former opponents. : There had never been a time In the , life of this repilblic when ridicule! might have been more effectively einployed. But if tempted at all, ganizing his forces with a view to se Woodrow Wilson bade the devil get curing the democratic nomination for behind him. president, today came out flat-foot- ThprP rnnM lint hvi hpon a ,nnro perfect example of how a former president should live, should conduct himself. He has never sought to in terfere. No undertaking of the re nnhUpnn Mminktr.inn ftiiicri because of a blow, from Mr. Wilson. And when the former executive has desired to participate in some public event, as in the funeral of the "Un known Soldier," and the funeral of the late President Harding, he has expressed hi3 desire in language so courteous as to indicate that he sought a favor rather than a just due. All that is known of Mr. Wilson i3 what is obvious. His hair is very current power clause, which as re white. His lameness still exists. His gards the 18th amendment makes it appearance moves alternately to en- obligatory upon the states to adopt thusiastic applause and tears. Believe other reports if such be lief make you happy. But there 13 no man in the United States who will publicly venture an assertion that Mr. Wilson favors this or that in dividual for the presidency. And no one knows to the moment the hour of his rising or retiring or whether he has his eggs fried or scrambled. No one thought that he could do what he has succeeded in doing; that is, actually retire to private life. Per haps he has not forgiven his enemies for the cruelty of their procedure against him. But his eyes were wet as he followed the lifeless body of his successor to its last resting place. - p OUT WITH OPIUM Persistence is not among the qual ities lacking in the League of Na tions. In its unspectacular way it is pursuing the opium evil, with the ap parent intention of compelling every member nation to live" up to its pro fessed disapproval of the traffic. Two conferences are desired by the assembly of the league, and both probably would be held in Washing ton. One is to bring together the representatives of powers having Far Eastern possessions and would dis cuss the suppression of opium smok ing; the other has to do with the limitation of the use of manufactur ed drugs, such as morphine and co caine. Both are important but the first is the more Interesting since it involves the direct action of the nations un der whose protection, directly or in directly, most of the world's supply of opium is either grown or mar The League of Nations evidently intends to hang on to its mission and Keep shoving the opium scandal into the faces of the powers until some sincere action is taken toward1 sup pressing the trade entirely. The. world will wish it well in the task. :6: ' " " ' . If you have sortie occult power that enables you to pick out a man's busi est day, you will make a good life i insurance sagent.

William fiihhs MrAdoo. who is actively or- euI lur l"uu'u'lluu ""u,ll,""u His emphatic words on the prohi bition Question followed those of Henry Ford, who said he would sup port President Coolidge in the next campaign if the president would en- force the prohibition laws Mr. mcaioo saia ne wouiu iiks to see every resource of the government used to thTj utmost to wipe out the disgrace of prohibition violations. He intimated that the efforts so far made on the part of the government show ed inefficiency. Comparing enforcement of the 15th and ISth amendments, Mr. Mc Adoo said: , "I fear some people do not discrim inate as regards the difference be tween th 'two amendments. The 15th does hot carry with it the con- legislation so that state governments can co-operate with the federal gov ernment in enforcing the Volstead law. "It is the duty of the state to see that the prohibition law is enforced just as much as it fs the duty of the federal government to do so." "The prohibition law, however, is a very recent law. The people of this generation adopted it. Presum ably the people think it fits into the scheme of things for the good of the country. Therefore, there is no rea son why we should consider the li quor prohibition law in the same class as other prohibition laws." "This law must be enforced as long as it is embodied in the constitution, and it 13 just as incumbent on the state governments to enforce it as it is upon the federal government." Mr. McAdoo's wife, Eleanor Wil son McAdoo, and their two daugh ters. Ellen Wilson McAdoo, aged 8, and Mary Faith McAdoo, aged 3, and a young woman secretary, are traveling with him. Mr. McAdoo will leave here to morrow for Washington, where he NOTICE OF SALE Notice is hereby given that pursu ant to an Order of Sale issued to me by the District Court of Cass county, Nebraska, on the 26th day of Sep tember. 1923, in an action' pending in said court in which Charles M.
