Nobody seems to know exactly how it happened and there are indica tions that even he is mystified over his inauspicious beginning. Senator Johnson has bPfn a rather popular republican. He has been vigorous in a way and vociferous, though not overly stentorian in his public ap pearances. It was freely predicted that he would grow in public favor when the popular and cordial Hard ing passed giving place to the little known and somewhat chilly Cool idge. But the public's immediate partiality for the latter was at. sur prising to Senator John as it was to the rest of us. 1 .1 ... Andy Mellon has spoiled the people I can y wt" exactness by showing them how taxes could 1.:Just wnat il is tha President Cool- cut $320,000,000 a year. The people back home want all they can get.- :o: President Coolidge'? effort to "pass the buck" to the democratic part?; by asking that it furnish special counsel for prosecut'on of i'-ose in volved in the Teapot Dome scandal is a clever political trick, but party leaders at Washington ought not to accept It. The scandal belongs to the republican party. 0:0 William H. Anderson of the Anti Saloon league said a stranger gave him $25,000 "just because he said he liked my kind of a darned fool." We've been almost every kind of a darned fool there is, and nothing" like that ever happened to us. Appar ently, in spite of all our efforts, we have never quite succeeded in being just the right kind of a darned fool. A book or pamphlet by Mr. Ander son explaining his method, would en joy quite a sale. When tolrl bv j the faithful family physician that there was ho hope, his reply was: "I am ready to go. I am a broken piece of machinery." The world's most pathetic figure, the most vicarious sufferer of the war that wiped out millions of lives and left the nations of the earth in chaos and confusion, has passed to the abode where trouble ceases to wOrry and happiness reigns supreme. les. woodrow Wilson is dead, the greatest president of all. And every American citizen mourns the irrepar able loss to the greatest government on the earth. His poor broken body will become lifeless clay, but the soul of Woodrow Wilson that dauntless soul that dared all with matchless courage will go on and on. bright and luminous when the stars have twinkled out and planets no longer traverse their course. Other nations weep with our own and when we received the fianl word that the great mad was dead, there comes to mind the immortal ode of the great Tennyson On the death of the Duke of Wellington, and its striking appropriateness to the life and work of Woodrow Wilson: On God and godlike we built trust. Hush, the dead march wails in the people's ears; The dark crowd moves, and there are sobs and tears; The black earth yawns; the mortal disappears Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. He is gone who seemed so great Gone; but nothing can bereave him Of the force he made his own Being here, and we believe him Something far advanced in state, And that he wears a truer crown Than any wreath that man can weave him. Speak no more of his renown. Lay your earthly fancies down, And in the van cathedral leave him. God accept him, Christ receive him. Back to the limelight comes the Bok plan for world peace, summon ed by its enemies. Had the senate irreconeilables possessed the wisdom of their bitterness they would have suffered their chagrin in silence and not started an investigation into the $50,000 prize award. The public might soon have forgotten it, voting on the plan might have languished and the whole project lapsed into desuetude. But this group of senators could not let well enough alone. Th could not resist the urge to have the Philadelphia gentleman on the grill They must find out why the League of Nations issue, killed and buried by them four years ago and since tnen periodically wept over in crocodile tears, had suddenly come to life. Well, they know now as much and as little as they knew before. They have tried to bolster up a very silly suspicion by accumulating silly evi aence and peddling It as important fact. Presumably, the money spent by Mr. Bok belonged to Mr. Bok and his reasons for spending it as he does is his personal concern. From it all the public get3 the inescapable 1m pression that what the irreconcil amcs resent 13 ine unneralded re- vivication of the league issue. :o: MJL0, THE GREAT Sohreiber have associated together for the purpose of forming a corpora tion under and by virtue of tho laws of the State of Nebraska.

Silo still could carry it in his arms. Then he killed it with one blow of his fist. Strength developed, Milo became a famous character. Six times he was victorious over all comers, at .wrestligh, during the Olympic games which were held ev ery four years. One of Milo's pet tricks was tying a heavy cord around his head, across his forehead. Then, compressing his lips and holding his breath, he'd so fill the veins of his head with blood that the expansion of the veins burst the cord. Another trick was to extend his O v1 iri Vi ' a!

Perhaps it is his modesty, or, a3 some say, nis courage. Whatever it is! there seems no doubt that as things now stand, Mr. Coolidge has run away with the republican nomina tion, leaving the California aspirant dazed in the far .distance. This Is not as democrats would choose it. There ought to be more division and disgruntlement and rancor in the re publican party. There ought to be defections from both Coolidge and Johnson in favor of the democratic nominee, whoever he may be. The tranquility in republican ranks is not a good omen for demo crats. We might as well face it now and try to do something about it, if we expect to save the country in No vember. Maybe we can find at Tea pot Dome or in the Mellon tax bill a wedge to divide the too solid repub lican phalanx, and thus make the world safe for democracy. The always enterprising Literary Digest is asking 15,000,000 Ameri cans how they stand on the Mellon plan of ta reduction. That is more than half the people who voted in the last presidential election. The Digest has circulated- a simple "yes" and "no" ballott. accompany ing it with a brief, but fair state ment of the high points of the Mellon plan and of the opposition to it. The Digest is known to be impartial and honest in the conduct of these straw ballots, results of whic have proved highly interesting in the past. The Digest ask3 that the 15,000,000 send thfcir ballots at once, a3 the contro very must be decided quickly. This, wo believe, is the most am bitious effort of its kind yet made by any American publication. :o: A SINGLE TERM Of the several avowed candidates for the presidency of the United states only one (Senator Underwood of Alabama) is emphasizing on the public platform the desirability of such an amendment to the federal constitution as would give the presi dent a term of six or seven years and would make him Ineligible for re election. Mr. Underwood advances no new argument in favor of the proposed amendment, but' the familiar argu ments are valid add sufficient. It has been said that, particularly on ac count of the pressure of patronage, the presidency has become a "man killing job." But If the executive were freed of all thought about the second term, he would cease of po litical maneuvers and would be lift ed above the partisan plane. Senator Unjjerwood observes truly Milo would have done well in Chi- 81t at tne -uniy coun room in fiattsmouin in saia county, on ine ss. na, where dentists pull teeth with their fingers, practicing first on pegs or nails driven into hardwood. Wolves ate Milo eventually. Wan dering in a forest, he found a fallen oak in which woodsmen had driven wedges, attempting to split it. Milo was so over confident of his strength that he thrust his fingers in the crack and tried to pull the oak asun der. The wedges slipped out. The split closed. Milo was held by his fingers trapped. Then came a pack of wolves. From his- death we learn the dan gers of over confidence, the perils of lack of caution. From his experience with the bull we learn that our pow ers increase as we face obstacles un falteringly. 0:0- If you don't believe that America has developed a rich vocabulary, just hide behind the agrage door while dad tries to crank the car some cold morning.
