Brotherhood Week Editorial BY P. L. PRATTIS FOR ANP Brotherhood, of course, means aceptance and recognition of the principle of the inherent equal ity of human beings, but simple the principle of equality does not cover all the meaning and sig nificance of brotherhood. Brotherhood, in these modern times, goes far beyond the accept- j ance of a passive, equalitarian principle. It is an action concept which calls for the exercise of j man’s noblest qualities. One might concede that there is no modern, up-to-date style of j brotherhood, that the virtues which are its symbols are as old as man himself, but, even so, we must acknowledge that in the new kind of world in which we live, there is a special service for brotherhood to perform. Cain asked: “Am I my brother’s keeper?” The necessity for the unity of free men and women all over the world today gives a clear answer to that question. We are our brothers’ keepers. When so much of mankind is in peril, when so much of mankind is in need, when so much of man kind suffers from lack of under standing, all those whom God has blessed are challenged to help as brothers those whom misfor tune has claimed. Unity of the different peoples under God requires brotherly love, understtnding, a willing ness to share with others and to sacrifice for others. It requires that men’s spiritual selves be much larger than their physical ^ bodies and that they have the wisdom to see and the heart to acknowledge that they are their brothers’ keepers. Brotherhood ignores distinc tion of race, of creed, of color, of rationality, from political point of view. It is harmony, not discord, ft ~'s togetherness, not separation. Brotherhood is the good deed, ;ervice to others. Brotherhood is j !ood, shelter and raiment, yes,! jut it is also the word of hope, j he pat on the back, the open loor, the warm heart. It is liv- j ng together, working together,! laughing together, crying together i and dying together. Brotherhood is the active prin ciple of service to one another of all of us—one under God.

OLSON, SuptrinUndt* stats ■istomical sociitt Nebraska’s Governors Last month, in writing about Governor Keith Neville, I wrote that he defeated Samuel R. Mc Kelvie in the general election of 1916. That, as you know and I should have remembered, was “a beaut of a boner”—and don’t about it! Let me acknowledge it here, and correct the record. Mr. McKelvie was defeated in the Republican Primary, and Mr. Neville ran unsuccessfully for governor in the Democratic Pri mary in 1940.) In 1918, Mr. McKelvie was Mr. Neville’s opponent, and Mr. Ne j ville came off second best. He is reported to have wired the suc 1 cessful candidate: “Dear Sam: Politics is just one - thing after another.” (That, I might add, goes for writing a column like this as well!) Samuel R. McKelvie’s two terms as governor in many re spects are a watershed between the old and the new in Nebras ka’s public affairs. His admin istrations saw the state constitu tion revised with the addition of 141 amendments, the establish ment of a civil administrative code, the introduction of the first executive budget, the creation of a state road fund, a revision of the state accounting system, and —most permanent of all, perhaps —authorization of the new Ne braska capitol and the beginning of its construction. Prior top his election as gov ernor, Mr. McKelvie had served on the Lincoln city council, as a member of the state legislature, and as lieutenant governor. Sincel905, he had published the Nebraska Farmer. He had at I tended Lincoln Business College and the College of Agriculture, j Fountain Pen Repair Service . . • • FAST— DEPENDABLE— ECONOMICAL— Cleaning and Overhauling by an expert.
