We already had the same idea from reading of casualities. :o: An architect predicts that the old fashioned back stairs will be restored in the modern home. Either he knows his blue prints or is simply indulging in back-stairs gossip. j What puzzles us about European politics is that the k-ft party is so often right and that the right party so often gets left. -:o:- , Most wives, it is said walk more than a mile in preparing a meal.

One problem which the Democrats should settle before the 192S cam paign is how to meet the issue of Ooolidge-made prosperity, upon which, i the R-publicans will undoubtedly base their campaign for re-election. ; ;o: , Mr. Coclidge has ended the wide spread expectations that he would . x:y for e third term by formally an ' nouncir.g that he will not do so. At ! a time when the conviction that he would use his singular power t: 'break the third term tradition ha', vi:tually eliminated every other as pirant to the Republican nomination j in 192S. the president has achieved ;a real political coup by blandly an- nouncir.g that he will not run. To say that the country is surprised is i putting it mildly. It is fairly flab bergasted. : a : AMERICAN INFERIORITY America will be brave and strong.

An occasional glove thrown into the ring bv a champion of America!, " . i fi ... 'brought out the realization that this is tneretore reiresning. r.uime Turst, teller of tales, and a lady of no moan parts, threw her feminine glove into the ring of late, and. though mantling cm tness in clever words, prcticaliy said that all the to do abcut American inadequacies is a stery trumped-up by these who are. iealous because we have a little , : jealous because we have a little : spending money. i Lady Fannie says, among other j pertinent things The Old French fruit dealer who will cut grapes in half un til the scales balance, is 'quaint. The fruit dealer in America who will throw in a bunch for good measure is a low creature who has become 'Americanized.' Our half-literate population, hither and thither by the great nickelodeon Everyman's Uni versity, has more pep de vie, more intellectual curiosity, earns a better living wage, and is generally noiser about his un desirabllities.than any illiterate population in the world.

EXIIIP.ITOP.F GREATEST OPPORTUNITY To Meet More People Than Ever jlefere at THE NEBRASKA STATE FAIR At Lincoln, Sept. 4-9 ALTRUISTIC UNCLE SAM It is perhaps too early to pass any hard and fast judgment on the suc cess or lack of success which char acterized the Geneva arms parley, but one comment by Sec retary of the Navy Wilbur should be written large in the copybook of principles which guide this government in the future bickerings with other powers. "We cannot expect," says Secre tary Wilbur We cannot expe-ejt either Great Britain or Japan to scrap new ships constructed since the former treaty for limiting armament, r.or is it likely t hat we will again sac rifice new hip in such an under taking. The la?t clauses of that sentence "nor it is likely that we will again sacrifice new ships in such an un dertaking" is the part that rankles. After the Washington conference this government, in good faith, scivpped thirty-two capitpi ship", nineteen of which were built and thirteen of which were under construction. Brit ain, at the same time, scrapped only sixteen. Generous Uncle Sam led the way. and as usual, he get a sock in the' jaw lor bis benevolence. American big heartedr.ess in in tei nati-.n Jl dealing has, on seveial other occasions. suffered similar treatment. When Am.-i ica first en tered the World War, General Per shing con f rred with British states men en how the American army might best co-operate -with the Al lies. The Br'tist. at that time prac tically insisted that American troops be sent over replacements to Brit ish units, to fight under the British flag. Pershing's insistence that the United States troops fight under the United Sfat nag caused imidi hr.rd feeling for a long time. That experience, and the more re cent experience at Geneva, prove be yond all doubt that the British are good arguers. As French observers unofficially observed, the British maneuvered American delegates into such a position that it would be pos sible feir the British to make slight soncessions to enable the American delegates to save their faces, yet giv ing Great Britain a very definite domination of the seas. We live and learn, but it should be many moons before your altruistic L'rele Sam ever sacrifices thirty-two capital ships in the interest of dis armament. And as a sidelight to that observation wouldn't it have been nice had this country canceled all war debts in order to help England, France and Italy maintain their strength in cruisers. : o : CID AGE, THE ONLY DISEASE Chicago's health comissioner re cently declared that someone shoulil be hanged for negligence every time a death from typlioid fever occurs. ril thff !n- Y.f mnKt enrb .? t c; 1 1 V once dreaded disease is now und?r al- most complete control. j For all this amazing progress,' ! man's knowledge of disease and I preventive medicine is still in a prim- I hive state. A British scientist told l the American Chemical society the . y ; ' three-millionth " .T '! .part of an ounce of the proper vita min would cure an advanced case of rickets in a rat, indicating that the curative powers of these new and mysterious life forces, still net defi nitely underste)ejel, have only begun to be appreciated. The day in which someone should be handged whenever a death occurs I from any cause except old age seems : at times to be not far distant. I :o: I The national industrial conference board is net sanguine over the re- ! suits of the efforts of taxpayers' as sociations in tLe United States to hold I down public expenditure and curb extravangance. It finds that only about one-third of the one hundred I EOBBY SCORES AGAIN Plattsonians who have followed , with interest the career of Bobby Jones find in the detailed news from abroad additional justification for their admiration of the young Geor gian w ho has won such golf honors. j Of course, they admire Bobby's golfing ability. That gees without saying. Also, they approve the vic tory the young man has won in self control. Only those inclined to be more or less fiery can realize what it means to become master of one's self. Yet that is one of the first lessons to be learned by one who would ex cel at anything. i Then, they like Bobby just because he is Bobby, for his youth and bis enthusiasm, and for his -Bobby Jones smiles. Now, there is something else. i As generous as were the Scotch and English golfers in their praise of the young American, one must realize that it hurt them deeply to have the coveted St. Andrew's trophy won by a rival from across the seas. In their estimation, there is nothing that can compare with tins open cnampionsnip over the historic course. To yield the cup to one of another nation, to have j it borne away from the old place, is bitterness to them. j Yet, there was no trace of that feeling evidenced in their congratu lations to Bobby Jones, en- in the courtesies they extended him. They ,are sportsman of too fine1 a fibre for any such littleness. J And we of the west may feel proud rf the faet that Bobby's own courtesy j matched their own. It seems that when the coveted trophy was present- ' ed to the young American who had 1 wem it two years in succession, he j asked the St. Andrew golfers to keep it for him. So the cup that is the , pride of the old town remains in its i native setting. ( This was a gracious and gentle . manly act on the part of the young Georgian, which revealed his worthi ' net-s of his victory, l :o: EIG BILL. KLTTG-EREAKER j Ma-or Thompson of Chicago may 1 have a gcod deal to say about who Minn iiUL ue wie in al i i':iutrui ei me United States. Before Mr. Coolidge's withdrawal former Gov. Iowden of Illinois was the president's only out- ! and-out contestant, and since the' J famous "I do not choose." Mr. Low i den has been included with Vice ! President Dawes and Secretary of ' ev m rt-w i-e TTiuwer n q nmnnnr thp like- li.st aspirants. Here enters Big Bill. He is against Lowden, and as mayor of Chicago he is a political force to be reckoned with. It is ventured that an alliance between Thompson and Governor Small will make it difficult, if not impossible, for Mr. Lowden to get the Ilinois delegation. And witli- Jout his own state, the ablest governor i Illinois has had in years, the almost i certain nominee in 1920 except for the slush-fund investigation and the best friend of the farmer can hardly hope to be nominated. Now how did Bill Thompson, the political down-and-outer, manage to defeat the able Mayor Dever? Mr. Dever has explained it. He tried sin cerely to enforce prohibition. That is why Chicago rejected him. That is why it took Big Bill again to its bosom. That is why Mr. Lowden may never reach the White House. What a Pandora's Box prohibition is! :o: NEW THINGS NEEDED Nothing new under the sun? The ladder manufacturers: asso ciation of American is working day , and night in search of a skidless lad der, one guaranteed to make anyone v ho stands on the top round as safe as the man below. In fact, there will be no man be low, not if lie is there only for the purpose of holding the such a man won't be needed, theyj.. " r, utr,t;. 0 u. say. ! The chairman of the skidless h ' der committee declares that it's ridic "Ioue to think that through all the i haM w nnrJ years ladders have been used none has ever been perfected to a stage where it is safer than when the first ladder was erected. If you will think half a second you can enumerate fifty things which would mean" something new under the sun " things badly needed and so obviously simple that you wonder , , why they weren t invented long ago. the sun," things badly needed, and o: The death of General Leonard Wood ended one of the most remark- able careers in American history remarkable for its achievements, its disappointments and the manner of its making. General Wood's activities were varied and vital. His service was comprehensive and his influence tremendous. He assumed extraordin ary responsibilities with confidence and discharged them with distinc tion. His splendid character and forceful personality impressed the nation. 7 "- Protect Yourself Now No one can prevent a tornado from de stroying your property.

Seven times they went after forbidden fruit and seven different places were entered. At six of these places they drew a blank, and at only one was there anything missed. All were on the same side T the street. and while they appeared to be poor guessers as to the whore-a bouts of valuables, they seemed to be expert in avoiding anything but ash candy fruit, etc., and other edibles, as well as trinkets, were religiously passed up.
