A great deal of trouble would be overcome in this world if we'd laugh instead of swearing at it. 0:0 A rejected Chicago suitor put dy- : namite under her house because she j had blasted his romance. :o: The republican convention is 1 scheduled to last six days but it is just about over jight now. :o: In Washington, when you see a congressman smiling yon know the charges against him have been dis missed. :o: The people of this burg who use heating stores are slow in taking them down this spring and right they are. :o: Auto helps: A lady lrarnln;? to drive an auto should wear earmuff? so ee can't hear what people say about her. :o: A boy in Bangor, Me., has trained a dove to fight. But this is noth ing. The dove of peace has been do ing it right along. :o: The Dawes report, says another expert, will turn Germany upside down. This is nice. She has been on her ear a long time. :o: The week end list of dead and in jured in grade crossing accidents and other traffic mishaps is one of the surest signs of spring. :o: Very few college girls are in jail. says Mr. Davis, a New York peni tentiary expert, so it seems that higher education does pay. :o: New York has a blond bobbed hair bandit. She is right in style as a blonde and in having bobbed hair and in being a bandit. 0:0 Cnogress builded better than it knew when it passed the immigra tion bill. Russia has "retaliated" by excluding all immigration. :o: Another sign of the forthcoming presidential election is furnished by the sudden and intense interest which the members of congress are taking in the plight of the farmer. :o: Grover BergdoII that pathetic exile wants to "negotiate" with the United Siate3 government over the terms of his surrender. What does Mr. BergdoII think he is a sover eign power? :o: There are enough church people In his country to dictate what's what, if they went about it in the right way.

But the prospective June bridegroom doesn't consider this any susar at all compared to the one he goes to see every night. :o: Mr. Theleen. manager of the lo cal light plant, is certainly a live wire in the fullest meaning of the term. He is a clever gentleman and stands right in with the business in terests of the city. He is decidedly up to date in everthying in his line of business and giving our people the best service they have ever had. 0:0 More than two billion dollars' of German marks were bought by people outside of Germany in th last five years. This is one fact dug up by the Dawes committee. Put ting it another way. Germany has made two billion dollars profit un loading tons of paper money on the world and then depreciating it to penalty later when she tries to mar ket financial securities of real value.

Hope May will bring in some warm weather. :o: Wonder what has become of the old fashioned congressman who was going to reduce our taxes? :o: Boom the Fourth of July celebra tion. Everybody is interested in a celebration. Talk about it to ev erybody. :o: The senate levies tax on radio and cuts auto tax. Take off of one and put on another. "Rob Peter to pay Paul" is it? :o:- In Sedalia, Mo., two sisters mar ried two brothers, which makes them sisters-in-law, so now they can fuss more than ever. :o: Wonder what Albert B. Fall thot of Mr. Coolidge's announcement that lit was "looking for a $100,000 man to fill a fl2.000 job." :o: Many a man buys with alacrity and pays with reluctance and then there are some who buy the same way and pay not at all. :o: Listen girls: Never tell a man ' about something that happened ten i ears ago. wnnKies and reminis cence go hand in hand. :o: One of the great dangers of be in a musician is you must let your hair grow, even though someone may burn you for a brush pile. :o: Once more the world's largest cir cus is announcing that it fs "Big ger and Better than Ever." And. if you're not too old, it will be. :o: What about the Jap exclusion bill? What is the president wait ing for maybe to finally veto the measure? Just like him to do it. The governor of Indiana has been convicted of fraud. It will be a shock to politicians to discover that a political office holder is not above the law. :o: Mr. Coolidge is said to hr ve more delegates than he needs. T"iis gives the boys time for spring chorus practice on the convention demon strations. -:o: s head To stay single: Have vour shaved so she can't run her fingers through your hair. Running fin gers through hair is what marries many men. :o: The day we celebrate the glori outs Fourth of July, ever to be le n.embered by every American patri ot. Bear in mind that Piattsmouth will celebrate this year. This newspaper is published for the whole family. So we have dug up some news today that will delight the dog. In New York last year 254,803 dead cats were found. :o: The California Japnaese are re ported to be preparing to go to Mexico. This may be that plan of reprisal against California, word of which came recently from Tokio. :o: Governor UeCrmy of Indiana, now in jail, has resigned. Maybe if they would jail a few office-holders around Wahinston they would also resign and thus relieve the country. 0:0 After a careful diagnosis of the address of President Coolidge before the Associated Press meeting, we have reached the conclusion that he is another one of those persons who uses words but htey don't say noth ing. : o : It is now a well established fact that spring has decided to stay w ith Qfl until summer. The sap is run ning in the trees and wild flowers are getting wilder. Baths are be ing taken. A citizen who has had his bath writes us: "Just as soon as the coal was removed from the bath tub. I knew what it was. I turned to my wife and I said. 'Wife, that's a bathtub.' " MOTHER LOVE A concrete example or the con- , .1 a enncrerp o v ,1 tti ti 1 . 111 I 1 1 1? 1 u u - .J ll . . .

Kinzer et al are Defendants, I lum for the insane. Thaw has he- JfMJ at 10 o'clock a. m., on the 31st come a lonely figure. The world had all but forgotten, except when it was reminded by periodical visits to h?s home, when his picture is printed in the papers and thero Wtts recounted the tragedy in which he his life, but for his freedom. But through the years interven ing while the world has scorned him and has all but forgotten him. his aged mother has never had him out of her thoughts, and has never ceas ed her efforts in his behalf. On the short vacations allowed him it is to his mother he has gone, and now as there is enacted another court room scene, it is the mother who sits nearby, that mother who has passed the four-score mark. We would not go into the merits of the Thaw case. We would not even venture to pass an opinion as to his sanity. That is for the court to decide. If he is considered menace to society he should be re tained at Mattewan. If it can be proved he is in possession of his right mind, and that no one. in all probability, will be harmed by his reelase. then perhaps the court would be justified in terminating his confinement. But the courts must decide. In the meantime, however, we can not fail to pay a passing tribute to his mother. With the Thaw mil lions, it is possible for her to have every luxury, and to gratify every whim that money can buy. Yet this Is nothing to her compared to hav ing her son. No matter what the world thinks, no matter what testi mony may be introduced against him. she remains his mother, loving for him until the end. As we read of the aged woman, sitting in the court room day after day. we are re minded of those lines from Kipling: "Were I to be hanged on the highest hill. Mother o' mine. Oh. Muther o' mine. I know that your love would follow me still Mother o' mine, mine!" : o: Oh. Mother o' WEARING WORK President Coolidge has discontin ued the wearisome practice of shak ing hands every day with the hun dreds of visitors who assemble at the executive office of the White Houfo at the conclusion of the fore noon's business. In his good nature, however, he permits visitors to stroll through his office and watch his work. The presidency of the United States has been called very appro priately a man-killinK job. Tho heavy strain of its manifold duties would wear down the health and strength of the most robust of men. For the president to increase that strain by going through the fa tiguing process of shaking hands with long lines of visitors, every day is both needless and undignified. It is to he hoped that Mr. Cool idge will not long permit streams of vsiitors to wander through his of fice during his working hours. That must Me distracting and a trial to his nerves. The president of the United States has the biggest and the most exact ing job in the world. He should be permitted to attend to it without the interference of the handshakers and without being stared at "hy all the sightseers who choose to intrude upon him while he is busy.
