I am against thee O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the Bea causeth his waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Ty rus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her. and make her like the top of a' rock. It shall be a place for the spreading of nets. Ezekiel 26:3-5. -:o: Stretching the truth ruins it. -:o:-the The way of transgressor is hard on other people. :o: Some girls hope they will be mar ried and live happily ever after. :o: You never will realize your object in life if it Is objecting to work. :o:- Women are so far sighted. They are already buying their spring hats. :o: All that stands between us and a hot time is the rest of the winter. :o: It's a funny system that provides publicity for taxpayers and none for tax dodgers. :o: Some go to the movies to weep, others to laugh and still because their wives make them. :o: In writing love letters it is diffi cult but advisable to keep in mind how they will strike the Jury- :o: .No one can look more as if life were a total failure than a man be ing towed to the garage in a brand new car. -:o:- Aniong the minor needs of this great nation of ours is some reliable method of retiring retired rear ad mirals. :o: When a thing needs to be done, the practical man goes to work and does it, but the efficiency 'expert wants to survey first. . :o: If we don't have cloudless weather for that solar eclipse things will be perfectly normal for the season, but we shall feel ourselves cheated, nevertheless. :o: It is said that an actor's memory was restored by hypnotic suggestion. Such a treatment might help some successful candidates to recall their pre-election promises. :o: -- It you have anything left after paying your Income tax you might as well go out and try to spend it as foolishly as the government will spend your tax money. :o: The American's winter of discon tent begins with the receipt in Jan uary of his income tax blank, which Uncle Sam hopes he will fill out and return with promptness. '. :o: A parliamentary critic of the Ger man government how blames the Dawes plan for a railroad wreck in Westphalia. Anyway, it probably helped to wreck the political party to which this critic belongs. :q: Just as we are about to rejoice over the increase of 72.2 per cent in terms of dollars in the nation's wealth of the past decade we recall that the value or the dollar has fal len just about enough to cancel the account. :o: A New York member of congress wants the immigration officials to keep certain attached royal and duc al persons out of the country, be cause they'd be dupes anyway and their preservation from folly 6eems bardly a subject for national con cern in e, busy season like this. :o: The action of the senate In pass ing a Muscle Shoals bill put3 a tre mendous responsibility on the house. If it does not proceed with the great est wariness a slip might result in an agreement with the senate and then Muscle Shoals would be dls posed of and a fine congressional rec ord of Indecision utterly shattered :o: Tremendous quantities of gasoline are beingr used. It will surprise many to learn that the oil Industry is selling more fuel oils than gaso line. Coal men need search no fur " ther for what has put such a big crimp In their sales. Oil is increas ingly taking the place of coal. One reason for this Is the Instability of the coal industry, due to strife be tween miners and operators. PER YEAR IN ADVANCE Isn't It funny what a woman will j show to hide her age? :o: Lot's wife turned to salt, but many men can turn to rubber. :o: The time your welcome lasts de pends upon the way you use it. :o: It will soon be time to report the annual shortage of Easter lillies. :o: Shock absorbers on autos would be better if the driver could wear them. :o: Times are so bad some people have not bought a single new auto all winter. :o: -The only man who can say your head is dirty and get away with it is the barber. :o: Women seem just as determined to redden their cheeks as some men do their noses. :o: Some movies call a spade a spade. That's all right. But others call a spade a plow. :o: Some people live fifty or sixty years with tight shoes always hurt ing their feet. -o:o- If we can't elevate guns, we can at least lower some of those notes in the national hymn. :o: The silent drama seems to be hav ing a very hard time securing a si lent audience. :o: Laughter is an excellent means for beginning a friendship and for end ing one it can't be beat. :o: The boy of today seem3 to want to leave auto tracks on the sands of time instead of footprints. :o: The man who takes good care of his health at home never will have to go somewhere for it. :o: About the only thing that will compete with a boy's imagination as to capacity is his stomach. :o: We know a man whose home would be much happier if she hadn't married such a cross husband. :o: And there are men who would not rob banks, but are very indifferent about returning borrowed money. :o: While the thief ?n Ohio stele a furnace from a dwelling, most of them can still be depended upon to go out of their own accord. :o: The British parliament is old maidish. Requiring that Lady As tor's portrait be removed from the walls of the house of commons was a distinctly catty trick. :o: The South Carolina legislature by unanimous vote of both houses has rejected the child labor amendment to the federal constitution, which illustrates the necessity that broug$ the amendment before the states. :o: Representative Tillman of Arkan sas does not want tne cnarges or congressional intemperance to be dignified with an investigation That, indeed, appears the most dig nified way of throwing the inquisi tion off the trail. :o:r Some senators fear the Paris con ference wa3 a diplomatic defeat for the United States, but 25 million dollars a year from German repara tions in which Europe has insisted we should not participate will seem to most Americans to spell anything bt defeat. :o: California engineers plan to di vert part of! the mighty Colorado river and make it flow westward to the Pacific. The water needed in Los Angele3 and along the way will obey man's order and travel across deserts and mountains. It is a great undertaking, and our civilization is proud of ifcj power to do It.

Gone is the pre- With eleven Alaskan Eskimos as tense that we could enforce a sep his escort, Charles Henry Wells, a j arate treaty w ith Germany. Gone is Ivnnsylvanian, went to Wrangel Is-; the pretense that we were against land to make good a shadowy Ameri can claim to possession of this unin habited and uninhabitable rock of desolation far up in the Arctic ocean. Before the coming of Wells, the ex I plorer Stefansson had claimed Wrangel Island for Great Britain, jbut Great Britain was too busy with other matters to pay much attention to Stefansson or Wrangel. And when Wells, inspired solely by pat riotic motives, went on his perilous enterprise to make Wrangel Island a part of America, the Washington government was quite heedless as the London government had been when Stefansson had clamored. The only government that took heed was the red government of Moscow. Although no one has ever paid much attention to Wrangel Is- land it is so near bibena mat it 13 , insulation of the war and the or-logk-ally Russian, Moscow, therefore, j aanization of Deace. But for 25 mil- chose to look upon Well3 and his (Eskimos as invaders. A sir?a!l Rus- I sian vessel, pictureiQuely named the Red" October, was dispatched to Wrangel Island to gather Welis and his company as prisorrrs. After a perilous voyage the Red October limped back into Villi vostc'i harbor with all twelve on board. For an American to be a prisoner in Bolshevist Siberia, no matter whether he be an Alaskan Eskimo or a Penr.sylvanian Caucasian, is a la mentable lot. A few Americans in terested themselves and urged that inasmuch as the predicament of Wells was due to his ambition to do something for his country this coun try ought to do something for Wells. But what could be done? Russia is not recognized at Washington. Nothing was done. And now noth- ng can De done, lor wens nas cicu of pnoumonia in the Vladivostok public hospital. The man who braved the perils of the Arctic and who lived for months on Wrangel Island without a mishpp has been unable to endure the hard- shins and misery of detention in Si beria. We do not know whaf the public hospital in Vladivostok is like, but from numerous descriptions of ther bolshevist public institutions we can make a ratlier good guess. Meanwhile, what is to become of the eleven wretched Alaskan Eski mos, the quaint and curious Ameri can prisoners at Vladivostok? :o: HALFWAY MEASURES The American delegation at the Geneva opium conference has a fight n its hands. The men from the United States take the unassailable position that if the use of opium ex cept in medicine and science, is suf- fk-cntly undesirable to warrant the holding of an international confer- nce for its restriction, it is suffi- iently undesirable U warrant its complete prohibition. In other words, the Americans would bind all nations to restrict the production of opium to the quantity needed to fill medical and scientific demands. To this the delegation from India nterposes strong objections. The conference, in the opinion of the In dian spokesman, was called solely for the purpose of restricting inter national traffic in opium. India will ree to any pact for limiting ex portation, but she holds that it is no concern of the United States or any other nation if she produces for use in India, more opium than is needed in medicine or science. The Indian held that his was not a part of the agenda,- and that it therefore could not be considered by the con ference. The- American refused to recede. and on a division the nations voted to sustain the American position, In dia alone voted ia the negative, nine nations declined to vote, and 25 na tions voted with the United States. The matter is now definitely before the conference for decision. It is a notable victory for a pol icy characteristically American, it. squarely faces the Issue. It is doubt ful if any other nation would have made eo insistent and uncompromis ing a fight. Surely if it is desirable to save the people of China from the deva stating effects of Indian opium, it is equally desirable to 6ave the people of India from the same curse. Half way measures are futile in dealing with such a matter. :o: 1 C00LIDGE REVERSES POLICY Silently, almost secretly, Mr. Cool- idge has revolutionized the European policy of the republican administra tion. The White House, to be sure. continues to say that there has been no change. But all Europen knows that the administration has reversed itself, and anybody who will look at the result of the Paris conference ,f lZ Zt teurn V. w 0n readlQe and fllInS the petition s.-fl matter by publishing a copy of must see that Europe ia right. eof Walfred A.

Nord, as Admin- sifl county, for three successive nmhlPm into a nartner under the ' . Dawes plan. Gone is the pretense that we were I disinterested observers of the.repara- "involvement." Gine is the pretense that we would take part only pri vately and unofficially in the Euro- ; pean qUestion. Gone is the pretense that we were different and aloof, and all that sort of talk. Gone is the pretense that we were going to col lect the last red cent owing to us. For the sake of an annual 25 mil lions of hypothetical cash we have in one vast diplomatic triumph' can celed, roughly 50 per cent of our claims against Germany and written ! ,ourselves into the partnership for! collecting German reparations. We have done the right thing, but we have done it expensively, furtive ly and without dignity. When the moral leadership of the world was '. ours we would not take part official-j lions cash and in the guise of a grasping creditor, with all Europe divided between soreness over our ' rigidity about money and laughter j over the naivete oT our diplomats, we j have sidled into the center of the j while tangle. What we should have i done at first, openly and with the gratitude of the world. We appear ; not as a generous creditor but as a j creditor whose hard-heartednoss has j been beaten down. We appear not j as a great nation shouldering its re- ; sponsibilities for a peace in which its armies played the decisive part, but as a nation so bent upon petty bill collecting that it forgot to ex amine the moral responsibilities it is directly assuming. :o: GIVES INTERESTING TALK From Monday's Daily Last evening Attorney J.

Cap-; well gave a very interesting talk at , the meeting of the Epworth League nn tlif suhlort nf "Phinn " M Pan-I Lvrl, ... for vflf,r in hf nrj(int and had ample opportunity of obser- ' vation of the life and customs of the peoples there, and his series of tulks on "China," the sleeping nation of the east, has proven most interest ing to those who were fortunate enough to be present at the meetings. Mr. Capwell has been very familiar with the life in the Phillipine is lands and also the other countries of that part of the globe and his work there brought him in contact with many interesting incidents. Blessed are the one-piece makers. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court. In the matter cf the estate of Wil liam S. Schwab, deceased.
