Farmers fight. COOUDGE AND ECONOMY President Coolidge has found the perfect issue. While the democrats have been wandering about in the morass of uncertainty and defeat, seeking a plank sufficiently solid to bear them back into political favor and discovering nothing more tang ible than the "Back to Jefferson" platform, the president has seized up on the "economy and tax reduction" program, and is making the most of his seizure. It is, indeed, the one perfect issue for a people groaning under the burden of taxation and, as the politician's lament, so eagerly and efficiently is the president work ing the issue, that by the time 192S rolls around he will be so deeply en trenched in popular favor that no histile forces, republican or demo crat, can eject him. Not only is he laying a most admirable groundwork for another term in the White House, but he is maneuvering the democrats into a position where they cannot of fer a valid opposition to his tax re duction program when it is present ed at the coming session of congress. It is not entirely fair to attribute the president's vigorous urging of his economy program to a political mo tive. While unquestionably he has an eye on his political future, hia present course is economically sound. He has brought his native New Eng land thrift and his canny business sense to bear on the problem of na tional expenditures and he is exhib iting an inflexible backbone which it was not known he possessed until after he became president in his own right. If he can reduce the nation's expenses to the 53,000,000.000 mark, the goal he has set for 1927, and thereby bring abouta proportion ate reduction in the public tax bur den, it will matter little to the peo ple generally, whether he has been guided by a sense of thrift or politi cal acumen. They will be quick to give him credit for the accomplish ment. In his address before the meeting of the Business Organization of the Government recently the president reiterated and re-emphasized his de termination to supply "the principles of constructive economy" to the op eration of the federal government. Incidentally he took occasion again to. remark that "the federal govern ment has strayed far afield from its egitimate business. It has tres passed upon fields where there should be no trespass." This allusion was to the growth of the federal govern ment's practice of handing out doles" to the states, an encroach ment by the government upon the province of the states against which this newspaper for many years has been raisins: a warning voice. And here he repeated what he said in an other address recently when he ad monished the states to assume their responsibilities if they would avert a further assumption of centralized control. Here he spoke wisely. "The cure for this is not in our hands. It lies with the people. It will come when they realize the ne cessity of state assumption of respon sibility. It will come when they re alize that the laws under which the federal government hands out con tributions to the states is placing upon them a double burden of taxa tion federal taxation in the first instance to raise the moneys which the government donates to the states and state taxation in the second in- stance to meet the extravagances of state expenditures which are tempt - ed by federal donations." The president rededicates himsel to a campaign of "relentless econo.ests mv." He is not alarmed over in cry that economy in governme hurts business, and he points out tl fact that each reduction in the tl burdens has been followed closely F a business revival. To him his "oh of office admits of no other couf- Wastrel, careless administration0! the government's substance, aret of place in the federal service, '"icy will not be tolerated."

STOP THAT BACKACHE! Many Plattsmouth Folks Have Dis covered How to Do It. Is a dull, nerve-racking backache wearing you out? Do you feel older and slower than you should? Are you tired, weak and nervous; find it impossible to be happy, or enjoy the good times around you? Then there is something wrong and likely it's your kidneys. Why not get at the cause? Use Doan's Pills a stimu lant diuretic to the kidneys. Your neighbors recommend Doan's. Read what this Plattsmomh resident says: C. E. Hitt. carpenter. South 10th street, says: "I suffered with back ache and I couldn't stoop over to pick up anything. Knife-like pains stabbed through my back with al most every breath and my back be came sore from the constant pains. My kidneys acted too often both day and night and the secretions con tained sediment. After using two boxes of Doan's Pills I was cured." Mr. Hitt is only one of many Plattsmouth people who have grate fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back aches if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mr. Hitt had the remedy backed by home testi mony. 60 cents at all dealers.

You may have heard this phrase Married Alive within the last few weeks. It is the title of a book which we have not read, but it is sufficiently suggestive for a very long book or more than one book. The suggestion is that you are suddenly eaugllt up and thrust out of life. Like a voiran who is buried in the ground while she yet lives. It is obvious tlat married alive is meant to sugges: buried alive. If you are ma-ri-d alive, you have no reason to be an 1 no right to be. Now this is not a defense of wom en who think tverything else they can do is more important than stay ing at home and keeping house and raising a family. Not at all. There is nothing more important than that. But a woman who has to give up her whole day and her whole year and her whole li e to staying at home and managing lousehold affairs and household cares is a poor life-manager. She chears herself and she cheats the worht which has a right to expect a great deal more of her. Marriage should not be the intro duction to a prUon-yard over the gate of which ore reads: "Abandon ye all ho:e who enter here." Marriage, to the woman who is not stup'il snd who has some idea of the rr.aragement of time, should not mean cfadiy concentration on the affairs f f home. Marriage should not mean atrophy and drfay and spiritual death. Thi world needs the attention of intelligent women. And intelligent womn are by no means confined to thos who neglect their homes to niato political speeches and run clubs andwrite pieces for the papers. Here are more intelligent women in the home than anywhere else. WM the community needs is a rea soble part-time interest from those wl) are married and have homes and chtdren. The fact that they have hfies and children proves they have 'J'i kind of brains that the rest of ie commuity needs most You women in the home don't be Jmarried alive."

It is true that the excessive hopes pinned to the first meetings have been disappointing. Governors have short terms, and sustained individual interest in the conference is impossible. Efforts to establish a continuing central organ ization have never made progress, but the attendance of nearly half the governors at Poland Springs last week shows that the institution is very much alive. The chief weakness of the "house of governors" as originally planned, has been the difficulty of finding ground common to all states and really important to them. The in terests of the 48 states are highly diverse. It is topics of general and minor, not immediate and major, concern that they usually discuss. The conference has played a useful role in promoting uniform legisla tion in such fields as corporation con trol and divorce and marriage. It has provided a clearing house for in formation upon the executive budget, administrative reorganization the crying need of many states and similar government problems. But its field has hitherto been more lim ited than its foundation hoped. Yet in the same period the in stances of interstate co-operation have become stead ily more numerous and important. There has been no difficulty in finding topics of keen in terest to all the states of section. Governors of far western states held a water-power conference in 1915 that drafted a noteworthy program. The same year saw the southern gov ernors holding a useful conference on commercial questions. The year 1917 brought a conference of gover nors of five middle Atlantic states to draft common plans for putting that great industrial region on a war footing. Later the fuel difficulties of the northeast led to a conference for New England governors. We have had a governors' conference on prohibition. Meanwhile, the inter state compact has been strikingly utilized. The Colorado River Valley states have united in a compact for the apportionment of the Colorado's waters. There is talk in the east of a general compact upon hydro-electric development. It i3 clear that the states are no longer individualistic and self cen tered as once. Tliese instances 01 joint state action in treating section al questions are promising for future co-operation. We have reason to hope for steady advances, both up on this line and upon those marked out by the governors' annual confer ence. There is a field between Indi vidual state action and federal action that should be explored and devel oped. :o: WHY, OF COURSE! The San Francisco doctor-editor who declares the modern housewife doesn't get sufficient exercise is right, of course. With all the scientific aids to efficient housekeeping she has little to do anymore! About all she does in the morning is to get up, start breakfast, rout husband and the children out of bed dress the youngsters for school, find their textbooks for them, provide them money for lunch, see that their ears are clean and shoes shined; wash the breakfast dishes, sweep the porches, vacuum clean the rugs, dust. finish yesterday's ironing, telephone the meat and grocery order for the day, answer the door bell twelve times and the phone about thirteen; get lunch for the children still of home age and see that the house is in order Among her afternoon duties is to wash the lunch dishes, continue to answer door and telephone, do the mending, rack her brain over the problem of dinner, welcome the chil dren home with disciplinary firmness and her husband with wifely cheer fulness; and appear at dinner reflect ing the day of perfect rest and idle ness vouchsafed her by modern sci ence. The housewife works only from 6 a. m. to 10 p. m. She puts into her work more physical and mental strain in one day than the average man puts into his business in a week. But that's nothing. Every 6trictly up-to-date home nowadays has a gymnasium well equipped and con veniently located just off the rest orium, where the housewife may get the exercise needed to maintain her health! :o: Omaha is one of the best and most prosperous cities in the nation, but she needs fixing once in awhile. Right now she should get rid of 6ome prohibition agents. The salary is all they want. :o: W. J. Bryan, Jr., now of Los An geles, is to be in the monkey case al so. .

Opposite Tidball Lumber Co PHONE 391 Plattsmouth, Neb. SUCCESS Fred W. Sargent, new president of the Chicago & Northwestern rail way, gives as the key to success the one word industry. That's comforting, especially for the young man or woman who is starting at the bottom with some big concern and wonders if real, hard work can ever be noticed in a world tnat seems to place so much reliance in "front." Just industry. Not talk, or office politics, or ability to play a good game of golf with your superiors just industry. The men who get to those places that are worth getting to are, almost without exception ,the ones whose hard work took them there. It's the only way. :o: BANKRUPTCY The Boston Post, in a leading ar ticle, calls attention to glaring weak nesses in the federal bankruptcy law and asserts that, in Boston at least, countless business men and creditors are actually victimized under its cloak. How often have we not seen ismi lar situations elsewhere? In many cities the eagerness of certain law firms to "get in on" big receiverships and bankruptcy cases has become a by-ward among those who are familiar with the courts.
