STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEBRASKA A " A Nebraska Institution" V ATLAS TC3-SOU AKP TO CSS ICS PIGMENTS OF WONDER There once was a painter let us pretend who went out to the coun try on an autumn day. On such a day the very wind is golden, and if there are wild geese flying, as may chance, there is a sort of golden discontent, as well. Now this painter carried with him such gear as painters will, a most high resolve. For he knew of a woodland where autumn touches all the leaves with unseen brushes, so deftly and so dearly ,and with such precious, charmed colors and pig- iments, as to achieve in that autumn al artistry a living canvas that for long has been the despair of artist folk. You must have seen the place. It is of small consequence, as woodlands go scarcely more than a wood lot until that turn of the year which we call fall or autumn. Then every tree and shrub burns with a bright, cool flame, and the wonder of it is such that travelers forget their urg ency, and forsake all haste, and look upon the small and trivial wood land with hunger and silence. So skillful is the autumn, and so wise a painter, so many and precious the pigments, so secret, that from gold to scarlet there are a thousand hues of autumn's contriving, and, each is cool and quiet flame, and all are blended as in music. This painter knew his craft. Rev erence was in his heart, and a great happy eagerness was in his fingers. And of pigments he had great store and each of these was precious by our reckoning. lie thought to catch this wonder before ever it should fade or fall. And bo he painted. At times he came to doubt himself, and the hurt of it was almost more than he could bear. Yet he painted on. And again, for his heartening, he perceived that almost he had caught and fixed on the canvas some diffi cult, shy delicacy of tone that would be important to a painter. And gratefully he painted. In the end. when the very woodland seemed to glow on his canvas, he bent his head and though he experienced dissat isfaction, he knew there was some thing of truth in his work. And he came back from the woodland. But we shall not pretend, in this pretending, that he asked admirers or critics to view it. Not only was he a painter, but he was wiser than most. He put the painting away, nor ever spoke of it. He said to himself, said the painter whom we are pre tending that one day in another autumn, if fortune were kind to him, he would go again to the woodland to study that which must be painted, but never quite shall be. All on an autumn day. :o: Of course it may be different in India, but over here we feel a great er sympathy for the poor touchers who try to touch the untouchables. : :o: .

ROOSEVELT AND THE BOSSES Governor Roosevelt's victory over the Tammany bosses Is complete. Like those other great democratic governors of New York, Samuel J Tilden and Grover Cleveland, he has dared to face the Tiger in its lair and to defy its power. When it became apparent that the Tammany bosses were determined to go through with their insolent pro gram of nominating former Mayor Walker for another term, the gov- ernor took the situation firmly in hand. He served notice that II Wal ker were nominated not only would he refuse to support him, but that he would actively oppose "tiis elec tion. With that bold ultimatum the bosses and their puppet, Walker, surrendered. With the surrender the cause of clean government end poli tical decency was advanced. To in sure that advance Governor Rbose velt did not hesitate to throw his own political fortunes into the bal ance. An open war on the demo cratic city ticket with the bitter re prisals that would ensue, was not a prospect that most candidates in Mb position would have relished. But Roosevelt seemed actually to wel come the test. He did it because he has faith in the character and in telligence of the people. He has con fidence in their ability to aee the truth, and their disposition to sup port the man who fight for the right., This is a quality that character izes really great popular leaders.! When accompanied by courage a readiness to act, it is potent to bring! about notable results. In this eon-' nection M. E. Tracy writes in the! New York World-Telegram: j "No single factor has done 1 more to- aggravate and prolong this depression than the inac tivity which prevailed at Wash ington during 1930 and the first half of 1931. When forced to act President Hoover did well, but he had to be forced. "If Herbert Hoover had . been governor of New York wuold he have had the foresight, or the courage, to tackle Tammany, as bossed by Curry and Berved by Walker? "If Franklin D. Roosevelt had been president of the United States would he have waited eighteen months before doing anything worth while to meet and overcome the depression? . "Read the president's speech at Des Moines, and . then read what occurred in Albany the same evening. " "In one instance you get an apology because of action, or lack of action, which needs It. In the other you get action which needs no apology. "There is virtue in an hon est explanation of why certain things had to be done, or why they have not succeeded any bet ter, but there is more virtue , in doing things which require no explanation." . r , N$thing;'that Governor Roosevelt has said or -done in the course of this campaign has better served to Inspire confidence in him. confidence in. his courage, his' virility, his readiness to act, his resourcefulness and his abil ity as a leader, than his amazingly ATLAS successful handling of the Tammany bosses since his nomination. Tammany bosses are not the only beasts of prey that prowl the na tion's jungles, nor are they the most menacing. As Roosevelt has dealt with these foes of good government and the popular welfare so, as presi dent, he may be trusted to deal with others. World-Herald. :o: DIVERSITY IN STATE LAWS Conflicting difference of a serious and often farcical nature have mark ed legislation by the states on many important questions. The condition long has been notable in widely varying state regulations affecting highway traffic, both as to matters of safety and protection of the thoroughfares themselves. It has been seen in the enterprise of some states, and lack of it in others, in adoption of the drivers' license sys tem. It has been observed more re cently in a lack of uniformity of state laws pertaining to aviation; in a similar lack as regards regulation of sale and possession of deadly weapons; in supervision of financial institutions; in the offering of ques tionable or fraudulent securities, and in many other particulars. As the states have been brought more closely together by good roads. motor cars and modern means of communiaction, this diversity of reg ulations has become increasingly a source of annoyance and a hindrance to (enforcement and needed protec tion to the public. Out of it has grown such an organization as the national conference of commissioners on uniform state laws, which is meeting in Washington. The body is composed of represen tatives named by governors of the states. It .is at work to harmonize state regulations, where that is pos sible and desirable. It is going into such questions as have been men tioned, and into a long list of others of vital concern to the states and their citizens. Like that of other agencies busy in a similar task, its work is largely educational and its poweY that of recommendation. It is co-operating with the American Bar Association, and already has adopt ed a uniform state aeronautical code and a tentative act designed to es tablish financial responsibility of motor vehicle owners. The influence of such activity should contribute both to the harmonizing and modern izing of state legislation on matters that concern alike people in the var ious sections of the country. :o: WANTED: A BOGEY The difficulty Mr. Hoover's ad visers are having in making up their minds has grown so great that they ere reported' to have called in a coun selor la public relations not a press agent, for 'a counselor in public re lations charges fees seven times as high as any press agent dares charge to teirthem what the issues are. " But the Issue is really so plain that no Eddie Bernays Is needed to see It, while Its solution, unfortunately, -is as obscure as the issue is plain. The issue is simply lack of a bogey. Wliat the Hoover advisers need desperately is something with which to scare the voters. None of the old bogeys is working this year. The Eu ropean, menace is a flop, because ev eryone knows that aTT the nations In Europe arc having a desperate strug gle to make buckle and tongue meet. The Japanese' menace is a flop, be cause, of the terrible exhibition of themselves the Japanese made at Shanghai. Mexico ( Haiti and Nica ragua are all completely worn out. Worst of all, the old reliable, the tried and tested red scare, that never failed before, has been tried out in the battle of Anacostia and, so far from scaring the voters into line, it only made them sore on the admin istration. While the effort to prove that Mr. Roosevelt is a bolshevik hasn't even scared Uncle Dan Wil- lard. So that's out. And as for republican prosperity. the less said the better. Perhaps we are too tender-heart ed, but the. sight of politicians strug gling ' vainly . with difficulties that are too much for them "has never failed to move us. And besides we are devoted to the ideal of . service. Therefore, we take great pleasure in using -our columns to broadcast an appeal in behalf of these sufferers. If. anyone in the audience knows of a IDod, sound bogey, one ' that will really raise goose-flesh, in the name of common humanity let him forward it at -once to the republican national committee and thereby perhaps pre vent heaven alone knows how many cases of nervous prostration.
