BATE SUBSCRIPTION PIUGE $2.00 IN EEVEEENCE TO GOD Dearly beloved, let us cleanse our selves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the.rr fear of God. II Corinthians 7:1. ! . :o: Third parties are things that get just big enough to be talked about. A :o: ; 'a An,1 some folks don't wont any-!?.. thing only something they can't af ford. :o: Some candidates are already un derway, and on the other hand some are already under. o:o We have noticed that after a man makes a name for himself his friends quit calling him Shorty. :o: When crookedness develops in the department of the interior we nat urally suspect an inside job. : :o: One of the surest things in this world is that if a man is fat he did not get that way from working. :o: Comfort is the prevailing note of the ppring fashions. The younger generations must be getting older. o:o A leading club woman is worry ing about what makes our girl run around so she is hunting her -mother. :e: As we understand it, Calvin takes a siesta of two hours or until Hef lin goes off again. : o: When a fellow is feeling tough nothing makes him more miserable "than to meet a fellow scattering sunshine. o:o The grand opera stars combine art with health and do their daily dozen while warbling, we notice, at about 210 pounds" gauge. :o: Of course, it isn't Important, but what has become of the old fashion ed man who thought profanity was a good substitute for grammar. ,: ' o:o General von Ludendorff, complain ing that the war made him an old man, probably forgets that it made widows of millions of innocent wives. to: It strikes us that there is a lot of the national political machinery that won't need any oiling before start ing into the campaign in earnest. :o: A Nevadan got mad at his razor some time back and hi3 beard grew twelve feet and three inches. It's a good thing he didn't get mad at a lawn mower. :o: : Thi3 Veterans bureau scandal is a nasty mess. Until the public learns the names of the two congressmen accused of having accepted bribes, virtually all congressmen will be un der suspicion. . - - :o: Scientists are beginning to prove what many a mere man found out long ago- that women are more iras cible before meals. So are men. Fam ily quarrels begin before dinner. :o: Persians threaten to de'frone their ruler for spending too mii'ii time in France, it tim keeps up there will soon be in Europe enuf discarded kings, queens, jacks and deuces to make up a complete deck. :o: A St. Louis drug clerk asked for a day off. He got it, went to the'eoun try and robbed a farmer. When he gets out of jail he should go to Wall street where he can rob farmers without taking a day off or getting caught either. :o: Governor bmith of New iork is rather reticent about his campaign to become president. This shows Coolidge has no monopoly on silence. Smith will stand a good chance if all the Smiths vote for him. But his opponents could offset this by nomi nating somebody named Jones. : :o:. Mars this summer will be closer to the earth than for nearly a century. At that though, it's be 31 million miles away. But astronomers are go ing to make a supreme attempt to find out if people live on Mars and Jf so, to communicate with them. A few months will bring this attempt to the front pages , of newspapers. Mars may not be inhabited, but sure ly the earth is not the only 'heavenly body that supports Intelligent life. To believe otherwise requires colos sal egotism. Many have it In suf ficient quantity.- . , . - S, Publisher PES TEAS IS ASYAUCE H-H-S-H- 1 LINES TO EEMEMBIE All-things in, the natural world symbolize God, yet none speak of Him but in broken and imperfect words. Henry Ward Beecher. -:o:- Some men like closed some chew tobacco. cars and o: If the tail wagged the dog it would undoubtedly make him dizzy. :o: If you think you are better than your neighbor, don't tell him. Show him. :o: Spring is coming in apace. And perhaps it is better to come in apace than in a gallop. :c. Science explains how the eyes ex change electric kisses. Well, we're old fashioned . -o:o- The new spring hats are very pret ty, but they seem to have been de signed for short faced women. :o: When a small- boy and his dog can't j;et through a crowd, there is no use for a policeman to try. :o: One reason why the lion eats raw meat is because it is practically im possible for him to keep a cook. :o: And what makes us .'dangerous is to pound a typewriter fourteen hours a day and then be told we need exer cise. :o: ' One of the surest ways to retain a good cook is to marry her. But even then you are taking a long chance. :o: California is stirred up over the hoof and mouth disease. Thus far. however, no politician is reported to be afflicted. :o: Europe, says Shaw Desmond, Irish journalist, is preparing for a bigger and better war. Bibber, perhaps, but how better? -:o: It is now highly in order for the would-be weather prognosticator to definitely define where winter ends and spring begins. :o: Senator Owen, who thinks Ger many didn't start the war, is going to retire. Hope he doesn't talk that way in his sleep. :o: The only thing we don" like about rouge on a lady's cheeks is sometimes we can't tell she's blushing or bluffing. whether :o: It is only a short time now before the annual race between weeds and vegetables begins. One gardener tells us he expects to reverse the usual order this spring. He is going to plant weeds and see if the vegetables will come up and crowd them out. :o: From long experience with simi lar scandals, you have an idea how severely the guilty people in tlie Tea pot Dome mess will be punished. Ser iously, why not deport them to Rus sia? They have done more to shake popular confidence in government than 1,000 Emma Goldmans. :6: Democratic politicians are giving out the advice in Washington to their colleagues in the various states to avoid instructions on presi dential candidates. "The democrat appearing most available today may not be the right man -at convention time." As recent events have shown. :o: Plattsmouth people should feel very grateful to Congressman More- head. After camping on the trail of the postmaster general for several weeks, he has succeeded in getting an order issued for free mail deliv ery by carrier. Congressman More head will always be found doing for his constituents. And he generally gets what he goes after. :y: Steadily man conquers the ele merits. It used to be that a sailor took his life in his hands every trip. Now it's probably safer on water than on land. The Great Lakes- Lake Erie in particular have a world reputation for treachery and danger. But in the entire 1923 eea son ships on lakes moved over 121 tons of freight -and not a single life was lost' by shipwreck. ' STILL G0IKO GOOD j Adolph Oche, publisher of the j New York Times, is 68, Rollo Ogden, his editor, is nearly as old, Frank ,Munsey is 70, Cyrus H. K. Curtis is 74, W. R. Hearst is 61 and Brisbane The COpyrght feature is a trifle ob is 60, according to the Editor and scuref 8eelng that the story is based Publisher. They are not slowing on an arttcie in a German magazine down, so far as the results of their work indicate. But we suspect they ii are not turning the wheel as fast as 'j they once did. Tney are lamng it easier and leaving younger men to carry some of the responsibility all except Brisbane, who works like a youngster. iTonrv Ford is above 60. and Edi son has passed three score and ten by several years. Yet they go on tvnrlMne- hrisklv. Underwood, Mc- Adoo, Carter Glass and Ralston, each is above 60, indeed Ralston is 67, yet each is actively seeking the pres idency of the United States, unafraid of the physical burdens which the office imposes upon its occupants. When it comes to comparing age. the editor cf the Evening Journal isn't so slow. He will be S2 his com ing birthday, June 2. And is still at the wheel. :o: J0SEPHUS DANIELS One figure emerges from this foul oil mess. It is that of Josephus Dan ials. for eight years secretary of the navy. Not only is he untainted, but when one considers all the circum- stnncpi! of his secretaryship, the pressure, direct and indirect, brazen and subtle, that was brought to bear on him every day of those eight years to give away the navy's oil, Daniels looms as an heroic figure and one that should challenge the admira tion of the people of the United States, irrespective of politics. There is a movement under way in his native state to make Josephus Daniels the democratic nominee for president this year. If it were left to his native state there would be a nomination by acclamation and an election by unanimity. As secre tary of the navy, Mr. Daniels was systematically "vilified, belittled, abused, libeled and stigmatized by certain elements which held him in enmity and which he held in con tempt. The campaign of destruction did not destroy him, however. An honest man is indestructible. When he made the navy dry the outcry was deafening, but it came from one di rection only the direction from which came the hatred and fear of prohibition in general. A certain great editor, finding no aperture In the armor of Josephus Daniels, took great delight in referring to him as "a country editor." Whether a coun try editor or not, graft looked as ab horrent to him when he was secre tary of the navy as when he was writing editorials for a constituency that knew him and trusted him. Un doubtedly he could have negotiated loans from individuals or companies eager to lease the navy's oil lands, but, being a country editor, he had as much money as he needed and he didn't need a great deal. He is not the sort who yearns for the flesh pots, for the bizarre and bedizened luxury which appeals so strongly to many weaker men. -:o:- OUR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION "And thou shalt teach them ordinances and laws, and shalt show them the way wherein they must walk and the work they must do." IS: 19-20. Our public school system is devel oping the mind of the child along educational lines, but it is impossi ble for the public school system with Its multitudinous demands to em phasize to any great extent the de velopment of character in the indi vidual child. It very often happens that we depend too much upon our school system and neglect, in the child, the more essential problems which are the foundation of his ex istence. The teaching of the fundamental principles of right living must cproe from the home or the church. The public schools cannot accept this re sponsibility. The duty of any par ent is to instruct the child in the way he should go and point out to him the principles which should guide him through life. The home, stimulated and elevated by church affiliation gives the parents the means to guide the child in the way he should go. Our public school sys tem must be backed up by the church influence through the home in or der to complete a child's education Select a church and then support it by your attendance. -:o: An educator says school examina tions will soon be abolished. And then every school will have a cork ing football team. o:o W. H. Thompson is out for the ap pointment of supreme judge, made vacant by the-death of Judge A drich. No flies on Billy when : i soft job is in sight. VTN ROUGE WON rublic Ledffer of Phlladel- Ma haB 4U8t iearned by copyright raieeg ' from Berlin how It came about that Germany lost the war: and a temperance at that. Judg ing from the circulation a temper ance magazine probably has in Ger many, it would seem that the Public Ledger man could have sent his story by mail without the slightest danger of its being discovered by somebody else before it came out in print. But anyway, the Public Ledger man did find the article and he wirelessed it over and the Philadelphia paper printed it on the front page, right where all the habitues who are gnashing their teeth as General Smedley Butler could read it and weep. You see, Prof. Schmidt (the poor man is left utterly unidentified as to initials) writes in the German equivalent of the Christian Advocate and declares that vin rouge defeat ed the Germans. The herr profes sor publishes a letter from an ar tilleryman who says that in 1918, when the Germans were dragging great guns along about March in the direction of Amiens, they ran into immense stores of tho wine, and the progress of the victorious army was halted. Everybody had a drink. The infantrymen got the first round, but they failed in their attempt to get it all down. The gunners came next, arid in a few hours they were as drunk as personal liberty itself on New Year's day. By the time offi cers "and men were sober the French and English were able to sober them indeed. The victory had fled. Prof Schmidt is a remarkable Ger man. In the first place he is a tem perance advocate as regards wine. And then in the second place he ad mits that the Germans were defeat ed. A man so distinguished from the mass of his countrymen doesn't need any initials. :o: PATEENALI5M "Paternalism run rampant" was wast Senator Fletcher called the bill td lend $75,000,000 to the north western wheat growers that they may engage in diversified farming. It is undeniably, at that. But the fact of its being paternalistic will ndt great rejudice the proposal in congress, nor much outside, for that matter. It might be said of Dater- nalism as the poet said of vice that it is a monster of so fright ful mien As to be hated needs but to be seen. Bat seen too oft, familiar with her face. We first endure, theu pity, then em brace. Paternalism was once dreaded as a monster of frightful mien. But that was long ago. We have, during the lafet twenty years, been made famil iar with it to the degree which makes it easily-endurable and even embraceable. . Senator Ladd put himself to some pains to assure the senate that this gouging of the treasury would not give a logical license for other goug ing. He attempted to invest the pro posal with a moral appeal so pecul iar to it. as to preclude its becoming a precedent that would plague con gress in the future. His pains were as unnecessary as the argument born of; it was feeble. Instead of trying to show that no precedent would be - William A.

It is futile to oppose the : ai?ne a claims against said estate. measure by crying paternalism against it. Often we are constrained to be lieve that there are some folks who! don't know the meaning of the word paternalism, anyway. If educating the young and caring for the sick and helpless is paternal Ism, then give as much of it' as pos sible. v o:o And after all perhaps the cut in taxes will only be skin deep. :o: Is it possible that there is a code message hidden In 'Yes, We Have No Bananas?" :o: Also the crop of "rump" conven tions this year promises to be far above the ten-year average. o:o Queer, but it's a fact, when folks want publicity they really don't need it and when they need it you can't even give it to 'em. : o : Considering the amount of trouble he fell heir to, it is fortunate that President Coolidge doesn't have to pay an inheritance tax. :o: The Ku Klux Klan, which claims a membership of more than 300,000 in Indiana, has become the dominant issue in the primary campaign in that state. :o: It has certainly been a hard win ter. The editor knows just how George Washington felt when the first signs of spring came to Valley Forge. :o: President Coolidge meets with re buff in action on early tax cut. The president finds he is not the whole cheese by a long shot. His influ ence with congress is diminishing wonderfully as time rolls on. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The state of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss.
