The fact is Nebraska is just about the center of the uni verse. It is nearer by Nebraska to anywhere a man wants to go than any other state on the continent.

CRDIES AND CRIMINALS Crime after crime, in sickening numbers, ugly, inexcusable, beastly, unpardonable crime is reported from various sections of the country. One day it would seem that the West, as represented by Chicago, was showing the greatest horrors of modern times in assaults upon women and murders and robberies. The next day the sopt light is turned to the East and atro cities that should cause brave men to become pale in contemplation are reported. Against this piling up of crime records is an occasional item which tells of the capture, convic tion and execution of a particularlv vicious criminal. At least a large part of the public believes that prompt and severe punishment is a deterrent of crime. The demand seems to be coming from outraged multitudes that have but slowly real ized the way which criminals evade the law and that even when caught and tried and sentenced, many de serving the rope or electric chair, es cape through false pleas and eventu ally return to the society which they have disgraced to re-enact their crimes. Societies fromed to help the convicted may be all right, but or ganizations proposing to aid the mur derer to escape should be regarded as dangerous to society. The trouble in this country is not on account of the severity of the criminal law, but because of its weakness and the manv ways available for well-to-do mur derers and thieves to escape their Just punishment. :o: FITTING FINISH A' famous old Chicago saloon, pad locked at last after 40 vears of ex- istence, is to be reopened but as I gospel mission.

HITMAN STUPIDITY Canon Woods, of Cambridge, Eng land, made a speech to l,000tfejr5y men. It is to be hoped that tfiost'of these clergymen were intelligent be cause they listened to a splendid speech and had a chance to profit by it and pass along, each in his own sphere, the results of his cumina- tions. To all who are capable of thinking Canor Woods' remarks present ma terial for many an hour of thought. Here are a few extracts from his speech: "It is disquieting to observe how much there is in our midst of sheer stupidity and muddle-headedness. "One can generally spot a man of undisciplined mind by his complete cocksureness, and his ooeksureness will be inverse ration to his years. "If civilization is the art of liv ing together it must be admitted that the world in general and Europe in particular has not yet made a great success of the art. "It is characteristic of our swift bustling world to want everything at once. There is often virtue in im patience, but the desire for short cuts is frequently stupid and dis astrous." He then summarized the England of today as follows: "Politicians who lack the true sense of responsibility; the so-called idle rich who apparently never heard of the word 'discipline;' workingmen who repudiate the agreements made in their name by their leaders; dram atists, novelists, and film producers who have no sense of reticence or restraint; pleasure seekers who never know when or where to half; football crowds who boo the referee; holiday makers who defile the countryside with litter; parents who cannot or will not control their children; young people who own no authority but their own wishes and whims." England is far away from us. About 3,000 miles from our East and about 6.000 miles from our West. The great bulk of our population are so happy and prosperous that they do not care a hang what England thinks or what England is worrying about. But it might afford every American much food foil thought to realize that these remarks of Canon Woods apply Just as well to us as they do to the English. One remark, in particular, is strik ing: "It is disauieting to observe how much there is in our muTst of sheer stupidity and muddle-headedness." If the speaker had been traveling from New York to San Francisco or from Duluth to New York and had Fpent a week in each resting place en route, one would suspect that he re- ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE In the District Court of Cass coun ty, Nebraska. In the matter of the guardianship of John Warga, mentally incompe tent. Now on this 7th day of November, A. D. 1925, this cause came on for hearing on the petition heretofore filed by James Warga as guardian of John Warga mentally incompetent, praying for license to sell the follow ing described real estate, to-wit: Beginning at a point thirty rods north of the center of Sec tion thirteen (13) in Township twelve (12) North, Range thir teen (13) east of the Sixth Prin cipal Meridian in Cass county, Nebraska, running thence west along the south line of Lot thir teen, five chains and fifteen links, thence south three chains and eighty-seven links, or to the north line of Fearl street, thence east along the line of said street five chains and fif teen links to the west line of Maiden Lane, thence north three chains and ninety links to the place of beginning, except the right-of-way of the Missouri Pacific Railway company across the northwest corner thereof; also known as Lot one in the southeast quarter of the north west quarter of Section thirteen (13), Township twelve (12) North, Range thirteen (13) east of the Sixth Principal Merid ian in Cass county, Nebraska for the purpose of securing funds for the support and maintainance of his said ward and the support, main tainance and education of the family of said ward, and the sale of the per sonal property of said ward for that purpose not being advisable; It is therefore ordered that all persons interested in said estate ap pear before me at the District Court room in Plattsmouth, Cass county, Nebraska, on the 7th day of Decem ber, A.

(n9-3w) f erred to the religious bigotry" of our various sects, the fanaticism of many of our local and national organiza-j tions. the underlying intelligence of our political and partisan movements and, in general, the darn-foolery of our attitude to the vital and everlast ing problems of life. But, as far as we know, he hasn't been here at all. He was only speak ing of England. Yet the shoe seems manufactured for our foot. Is it possible that we have more in common with England than we knew of? Can the English be the same kind of hopeless ginks that we are? AN ANTIQUE BUTTON J. V. Bourland of Arkansas, claims to have the oldest collar button in captivity. He has had it for forty seven years. This particular collar buton was made from a five dollar gold piece presented to Mr. Bourland in 1S78. Five dollars last longer then than it does now. Converting a gold piece into a col lar button shows with what respect the people of Arkansas regard collar buttons. Probably this particular button has led an uneventful and unexciting life. It has never had any other collar button to play with and has never known the thrill of rolling under a bureau or a bed. But wait until it has passed down to some younger generation. Then it will begin to enjoy life and see something of the world. There is no fun in being a bird in a gilded cage. It will learn to hide when its owner looks for it in a hurry. It will learn to roll under the furniture with the best of them, and it will give up a life of leisure and join the working classes. . Life will be worth living for the old collar button. Adventure will come to it and it will not be long before it will escape from its pres ent owner and join the other collar buttons on the mysterious journey to wherever it is said that all collar buttons go.
