If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues, that are written in this hook: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life. Revelation 22:1S-19. -:o:- Omaha is doing: herself proud this week. :c: A pedestrian is a man whose wife is using the car. :o: A sure way to keep down grocery bills is a paper weight. :o: President Coolidge's speech seems to have been well received. :o: Old Sol knows how to limit crops for farmers and sem? up prices. :o: Well, just so Clarence Darrow can be kept out of the air controversy. :o: Cooler weather prophesied Are you ready for it?

The man who is suc cessful in a financial way is the one who moves quickly and who is not prone to suggest delay in starting something new or undue deliberation over how it should be done. Because such a trait is character istic of success, we forget that there is wisdom in being patient, more slow-moving. This often overlooked advantage is discussed by Ferdinand J. Bommer in the October Christian Business Man as follows: "We repeatedly face the discipline which arises from the appearance of hope deferred. We must help one an other to keep our courage while we learn to labor and to wait. We often counsel ourselves and others to be patient, .for patience is essential among Christian business men who often are over zealous to better their conditions and who are inclined to demand that their betterment be forthcoming at their first effort. "Much of our apparent trouble comes to us because most f)f us are always in a hurry and God is not. The more we look upon the universe in which we live, the more obvious becomes the age-long process by which development proceeds. This is true whether there is involved the making of a civilization or an indi vidual of a business man. "The love and the wisdom of God in the guidance of our affairs does not depend upon or include our pro gram of fretting. The true Christian statesman, the earnest Christian bus iness man, has learned that God takes ample time to do his work, and man would show greater wisdom if he fol lowed the divine example." :o: TOO MUCH ALREADY An esteemed exchange suggests the imposition of a license for automo bile drivers a $10 fee to be paid by each driver who operates a car which would bring into the treasury a total revenue of three million dol lars per annum. We're against it. Already auto mobiles are carrying a heavier bur den of taxation than any other class of property. There are just eight different kinds of taxes levied on automobiles and their owners, and that's about enough. The automobile owners are build ing good roads not only in their own counties, but in other sections of the state where automobiles are few and far between. A careful calculation shows that. on a comparative value basis, the automobile is just about 300 per cent' ahead of any other class of property. and that's too much, thank you. :o: We like the barber best who says. "It's not half as thin as mine." HI-M-I"I-I-I-f" J Dr. John A. Griffin Dentist Office Hours: 9-12; 1-5. Sundays and evenings by appointment only.

The government could do nothing 1 mere fatal to enlightenment. In 1793 George Washington said in a message to congress: "I cannot forbear to recommend a repeal of the tax on the transporta tion of public prints. There is no re source so firm for the government of the United States as the affections of the people, guided by an enlightened press, and to this primary good noth ing can conduce more than a faith-: ful representation of the public pro ceedings, diffused without restraint throughout the United States." i The first president of the United! States as was recently pointed out by the New York Times, had vision: enough to see in the postoffice a I great agency for education. J He was not interested, as so manyi lesser men in politics have since been, in the fact of profit. He was not worrying whether the postoffice was ai money-maker or a money-loser. Washington knew that nothing would so knit together the widely separated parts of this nation as cheap and un limited distribution of the public prints. The fact is that the arguments for profit, for business expediency, and for justice are also on the side of cheap distribution by the postoffice. The postoffice is losing an enor mous amount of business because of the high postal rates. Newspapers are being transported by other means. The telegraph companies and oth er privately owned utilities show more judgment. They have seen the writing on the way. They furnish cheap rates in the way of night let ters, long distance calls, etc. They get a larger volumn of business at a lower rate. That is sound business. That argument ought to satisfy those who demand that the postoffice shall be more successful financially. lint the vision of Washington and the conception of other outstanding! leaders of the past are fundamental and inspiring. The postoffice is a great educator. And we are putting a high and un fair tax on knowledge. :o: OUR IDEALS There is great need for a preaching that shall emphasize the reality of the ideal, and the ideality of the real. During the last two years there has been much sneering at ideals, much talk about the desirability, and even the necessity of "keeping our feet on the ground." Well, there is no great danger that men will ever get out of touch with the earth, or with material things. The danger is the other way around. We seem to be more and more pos sessed by things, more and more the slaves of our material environment. A materialistic civilization is a doomed civilization, as history teach es with a tragic eloquence. We have been fond of saying that we went to war for an ideal, and it is probably true that many did get a real vision, though the war was a strange mount of transfiguration. But let us assume that there was a rising bove self, and that with it came a revelation that there were in this life things well worth dying for. But, returning to the old fire, we bring the vision with us do we, and if so, what becomes of it? It is the duty of all to endeavor to keep it vivid and clear, and to en deavor to live and act in its light. Certain it is that from the war we returned to a stricken world. We have, of course, done much to relieve misery, and to that extent have been true to the vision. But that there has been a falling away can hardly be denied. To a certain extent, no doubt, it is always so even St. Peter later de nied his Master. Tha law of reaction has never been repealed. " It is still true, however, that those blessed with the vision are solemnly bound to be true to it, and to strive never to fall below the level of the glory that has been revealed. Only so can they serve their fellowmen as they should. It is always ideals that must point the way and light the path. Nothing can take their place, nothing ever has done so. . :o: The Washington meteorologist who says the next year, like 1S16, is to be a year without a summer, claims now to have eight scientists in agree ment with him. However, since his is the only name mentioned and he is therefore bound to catch all the blame if the prediction fails, we can't give him much on the, support behind him. :o: There may be exhileration in trav eling three hundred miles by air plane, but we doubt if there is much more than there was in the two miles an hour in the old top buggy -with ; yur best s111 alons- HIS SOUL GOES MARCHING ON Mr. Wilson's soul goes marching on. He came nearer than any other mortal to feeling what it id like to be God, and how well he discharged that great responsibility we are fast find- jlng out. The League oC Nations may not prevent wars between the great economic powers; but it will keep the world from living meanly and basely beyond the corrective reach of public opinion, when we are in our right mind. Perhaps we cannot hope for more than that. If we could live cleanly and honorably between rounds, that M'ould be something; and this, it seems, is to be Mr. Wil son's gift to the world. :o: The federal government sends out the glad news that it will sell buffalo bulls at cost from the Yellowstone herd, and any citizen who wants one can have tne same oy applying. :o: The Rumanian debt commission is on its way to the United States. Why doesn't it just cable that it will pay 1 per cent interest for five years. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court.
