Ninety is a fairly advanced age; not exactly uncommon, but still rath er noteworthy. What makes Mr. Kief er's birthday interesting, however, is the memories that he hsis to talk about. This man came to the United States in 1S5G on an old square-rigger. He became a river pilot on the Missis sippi; in 1S62 his ship got caught in the jam below New Orleans when Farragut brought his fleet up past the forts and seized the Confederacy's greatest seaport, and so Kiefer got an excellent view of that spectacular jaffair. j Then, in 1S6S. he crossed the 'plains to Sante Fe, traveling at night jthrough a region where ranch houses lay in smouldering ruins from the at tacks of Indians. He became a miner in the mountains of Colorado and New Mexico, and had enough narrow escapes to till a book. All in all. an exciting and color ful past. Yet this is what Kiefer told Denever newspaper reporters: "Those were thrilling days, but there is more romance and adven ture in the world today." That is an attitude that few of the old-timers take. Generally they tell us that the world has fallen on evil days. They consider this a soft and flabby generation, devoid of thrills and many leagues removed from any thing like real adventure. - But not this man. His life is a regular adventure story, yet he be lieves today a more adventuresome and exciting time than yesterday. And this ought to be rather consoling for those of us who feel that we have been cheated out of our share of ro mance by being born too late. Adventure and romance, after all. are things that are found inside of a 'man's head and heart, lals. A They don't young man depend on exter: pvho comes to town from a farm, gets a job in a railroad oft ice and works iEls "a UP slo uejiiees, can mane (of his experience a romance as gaudy tis anvthing oui of Marryat or Stev- enson; and. conversely, a man who lias net got romance in his heart could go by dog sledge from Nome to Hudson's Bay and be as boied as in ajjf ne were riding downtown on a bow- street car. much i This chap in Denver has the right (idea. He had an exciting life, but he Iknows he could do just as well if he Were starting in again right now. pven jf the windjammers and y&llin jjncar,s have gone to join the dodo. 'Romance is strictly up to us. If we lliave it in us we'll find it. If we jhaven't it is no use for us to go look ling for it. CORN SUGAR We used to hear much of corn li- of Kiuor betore prohibition.

Now Prohibition : Do ran gives us a very why that still-popular Commissioner good idea of beverage has not disappeared from the list of pro curable commodities. He says there has been a large in crease of the production of corn sugar from 150,000. 000 pounds in 1921 to 9C0.O00.000 pounds in 1929. To this he attributes the great quan- tity of 'illicit alcohol" which has given his department so much trou ble in its efforts adequately to en force the Volstead Act. If this is so. why do not the Drys put through a law to control or stop the corn sugar industry? There is a widespread understanding that the rural districts of the country are in tfavor of prohibition and the enforce ment of laws to make it effective. At least, this is what Dry apostles have been preaching, and it is what a good many of the election returns incu lcate to be a fact, if the Representa tives they send to the Senate and House of Congress talk and vote the f.sentiments of their constituencies. In the old days of an abundance of "corn liquor" all of it was made of corn grown on farms. As the quantity of this liquor production has declined since the advent of prohibi tion, and the production of corn sugar has increased 600 per cent and, ac cording to Commissioner Doran, is one of the sources of the bootleggers' supply of alcohol, the country folks must be selling a lot of corn that is interfering with the effective admin istration of prohibition laws. Why Idoes not the Commissioner make an appeal to these corn growers to re duce their crop? :o: If there is anything more rare than a day in Jun, it is a girl who gets up after speeding an hour in front of her mirror transferring the con tents of paint and powder Jars to her face a3 attractive looking as she was when she sat down. 4!5ounceiTEARS Baking Rwdkr Guaranteed Pure Use KC for fine texture and large volume in your bakings Millions of pounds used by our Government IRELAND AND THE LEAGUE When Harding spoke in St. Louis as a candidate tor tne presidency in 1920, his long address on the exten - ?ion of American trade into new areas was roughly handled by insistent Irish hecklers, who wanted to know "what he was going to do about the League of Nations and Ireland." In those days the very thought of the League was anathema to Irishmen, wherever they were. Because dominions of the British Empire were granted voice in the Assembly, they regarded the League as an instru- iment to frustrate Ireland s plans tor free statehood. Ten years have passed and the Irishman has changed his mind. Bo!- ton C. Waller, Irish internationalist, who was born in Cook county Cork ,and educated in Trinity college.

Further more, he says that he and his coun- trymen find the League providing "smaller countries with an influence in world affairs which they did not have before" and constituting" a real safeguard for peace, the hope of liberty perity.' security, progress and pros - Willingness to accept what once they opened when later convinced of i its soundness is another proof oi, hibermian sagacity. :o: RAILROAD PROBLEMS The new problems that changed conditions in American life have raised up for vexation of the figures .executive are graphically set forth by some fi ures in the current issue oi Golden Book magazine. The gleaming Pullman car. for in stance, is no longer the great money making for the railroads. For every dollar it earns the lowly freight car earns six. Furthermore, the day coach has fallen on evil days. In 1921 day coach passengers contributed $795. 000.000 to the railroad; in 192 they paid only $454,000,000. Auto mobiles and higher living standards are directly responsible. The railroad men have met the is sues by increasing their efficiency. In 1922 the average car moved 23 mi'.e a day; now it moves 31 miles. If you think that all of this hasn't given the railroad men furrowed brows and gray hairs, you might ask the next railroad man you meet. :o: Husbands are so unreasonable that 'they always are better pleased with what wife does in the kitchen than they are with what she has done in 'the beauty parlor.

F. of L., is alarmed at the Senate's refusal to accept the extrav agantly high rates of the Hawley Smoot tariff bill. He is afraid the Senate, in rewriting the bill, is go ing to open the way for a Hood of forign goods, thus jeopardizing t lie high wages and standard of living of the American workingman. He mur mers threats of reprisal at the polls against those Senators who have had the temerity to vote for lower rsttes. In short. Mr. Woll's position, as a representative of organized labor, is .j-ust as reactionary as it would be if he represented organized capital, interested in dividends which accrue to protected industries. The doctrine that high tariffs and high wages go hand in hand has long been embraced by organized labor, and Mr. Woll in expounding it is only repeating platitudes uttered by his predecessors. But in presenting ter rible pictures of what will happen it the Hawley-Smoot rates are not ac cepted he is talking nonsense. Mr. Woll refuses to discriminate between reasonable and extortionate tariff protection. As a matter of" tact, the J Fordne-McCumber tariff of 1922. !ncw in operation, amply protec ts j Americ an industry. Under it the country has had a period of unpre- cedented prosperitv. The Hu wlev- :Smoot bill, which would add billions I to the cost of living, is calculated to i kill the goose that laid the golden Labor cannot be blamed for look - jng after its own interests, but when lt woum advance its own interest ;m such a wav as to cauce hardship .to the masses of American neoule it is playing a dangerous role The trou- Ible with organized American labor is 'that it is suffering from hardening :bf the arteries. Prosperity has gore ;to its head. It lacks the keen, far r i ;new industrial regions j leaving the field open of the South, to Communist agitators. More and more the American Fed- jeration of Labor takes on !look of a closed corpoi ation the out- interest ed only in the pecuniary advance ment of its exclusive membership. Matthew Woll's undiscriminating ; and selfish statement on the tariff is a (perfect example of this tendency. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. :o: WE HOPE HE IS WRONG Dr. li ving Fi.-her. professor of eco l nomics at Yaie University, finds him self unable to join in the optimistic ihelief that American business is go- ;ing to continue, during the next few years, at the prosperous rate of the last half decade. A period of severe business de ipression win begin somewhere witnin the next three years, he declares brought about by the current de crease in the world's gold supply. "The only thing that will save us jhe says. is a new gold policy or the discovery of a new process or add tional gold fields. If the fall is not prevented by accident or design we shall throttle busines.s wiping out all profits and experiencing all the evils of deflation." Here is a note that we have not heard sounded before. Pending the discovery of new gold deposits somewhere, about all we can do is hope that Dr. Fisher is mistaken And the chances are just about nine out of ten that he is, the chair of eco nomics at Yale to the contrary, not withstanding. :o: ON THE CHICAGO FRONT Continuous war on the Chicago crime front has brought the usual culmination. A body of citizens, headed by the president of the Chi cago Association of Commerce, an nounces it will employ its own guards, confer police powers on them, and make war on the gangsters. Immediately following the an nouncement of the committee the Chicago police started a campaign against lawlessness. In the first 24 hours the police arrested 917 per sons. 271 of whom had criminal re . Chicago, it is reported, has cords assumed a new peace and quiet, gun men are absent from their haunts. holdups are not the order of the night. The police do not say that the citizens' committee announcement is responsible for their new offensive. For that matter the cause of the po lice action is not of first importance. The importance of the actions is in its result. That result shows that crime, even in America s most enme riddn community, can be curtailed once the constabulary. :o: Wanted, good clean rags at Journal office. t Dr. Joe J.

Gust in of near Murdoc k, was in town and call ed at this office ordering some sale bills printed. In talking over various things we learned that Mr. Gustin has resided in Cas county for the pas fifty years. He came from the state of Wisconsin, some 4 0 miles north of Milwaukee, an:! crossed the river at I'lattsmouth. ir. the month of February, on an ice bridge. He counts this a real experience in his 1 1 f He resided for nine years on a farm seven miles north of Platts mouth, and then moved to the farm near Murdock. which he now owns and where he- lived for the past 41 years. He has a fine farm here, well improved. Now lie is holding a pub- 4 lie- sale on the 24th of this month and is moving to Murdock. to live and will be engaged to some extent in the plumbing business. His son, Joe. and family will move to the home farm. John says that when looking back over the fifty years it would seem but a short time but when he considers what he has done in those years it is really quite a long period of time. His chief characteristic is to enjoy life and he is smiling through after "0 years of farming and the tips and downs that go with it. Here is hoping, John, that you have 50 more years of just as good clays as you have had in the pr.st, and that you will still come smiling through. Elm wood Leader-Echo.
