HOOVER’S SPEECH Hoover’s speech of accept ance strikes a high key. It is pitched in a tone vibrant with a higher idealism than is cus tomary in similar pronounce ments. There is a frankness in discussing issues which must commend it to those who like plain forthspeaking and detest indirectness and camouflaging. His utterances on the family, equality of opportunity and the spiritual values of citizen ship as against the exaltation of purely material progress are noteworthy. His stand for the enforcement of the Eighteenth amendment is straightforward and unequivocal, but one point of weakness is evasion of any reference to the equally im portant enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments In its high governmental ideal ism the speech is praiseworthy and lloteworthy. SENEX ET JUVENTUS An old man and a youth! This thought is forced upon us by the death this week of two friends. One a cultured gentle man, who had wrought well in his day and generation, whose years numbered nearly four score; the other a youth of great promise and singular sweetness of disposition, strength of character and high hopes, whose active career had not yet begun, and whose years had just reached fifteen. Rod olphe Desdunes was he whose course, according to the allot ted promise, was fully run; John Jackson was the youth whose race had scarce begun. Old man and youth, each has left as a legacy, a good name and a fragrant memory. Rod olphe Desdunes was a gracious and cultured Christian gentle man. John Jackson was a courteous, well-mannered and w e 1 1-beloved Christian boy. His sudden death, for he was ill but a very short time, has thrown a gloom over his young companions and all who knew him. John Jackson’s short life has been a benediction to those I who knew him and we are quite sure that the boys and girls of Omaha who were his close companions, “our gang,” as they call themselves, will be the better for this noble youth who passed within the vail al most at the same hour with the man of four score years. Age and youth. Neither is ! exempt from the universal law. In one case some of us think we can understand; in the oth er we cannot understand. But this we do know: GOD knows and understands and we, too, shall understand in time the plans and purposes of Eternal Love and Life. LET’S HAVE LESS SHAM According to newspapers, it cost the United States govern ment between $60,000 and! $75,000 to secure evidence and make a raid on wealthy club j houses in New York charged wiht' violating the 18th amend ment. It is alleged that the i prohibition officers paid as \ high as $42.00 a bottle for champagne and $10 a pint for /AV^AV.V.V.W.W.V.W.V.NW.V.\W.V.\V.V.V.V.V.V.V.* :j GOLDEN RULE GROCERY \ 3 2120 North 24th Street Webster 4198 £ It OUR STOCK IS SMALL— 3 15 OUR EMPLOYEES ARE FEW— 3 3 OUR MANAGEMENT IS GOOD— 3 13 OUR SERVICE IS EFFICIENT— f 3 BUT GIVE US TWO HUNDRED PATRONS 3 £ WHO WILL SPEND FIVE DOLLARS EVERY WEEK > 3 FOR GROCERIES AND MEATS, AND PAY If ONE DOLLAR EVERY WEEK FOR 100 WEEKS. 3 £ WE WILL PAY YOU SIX CENTS ANNUALLY 3 ,3 ON EVERY DOLLAR SPENT IN OUR STORE £ 3 AT TIME OF PURCHASE AND GIVE EMPLOYMENT 3 3 TO YOUR BOYS AND YOUR GIRLS ' 3 13 AS CLERKS, SALESMEN AND SALES WOMEN, £ £ FOREMEN AND MANAGERS, ETC. 3 3 AND make you part owner of 3 3 THE WORKERS MERCHANDISE COMPANY, 3 3 A PROPOSED $10,000 COMPANY. 3 j 3 ORGANIZATION COMMITTEE. £ .VA%V.V/AV.V.VAV.%V.V.,.,.V.V.V.V.V.,.V.,.V.VAV.,,V.V,' whiskey. Even at that price they must have bought several cases of champagne and a few gallons of whiskey to pile up that large expense account. And by the way, have you ever heard of the United States gov ernment spending anything to collect evidence against anyone for the violation of the 14th and 15th amendments? We may be stupid, but somehow we have understood that the war amendments are equally as much of the constitution as the 18th. We are foolish enough to believe that all the articles of the constitution should be enforced. Let’s have less sham and hypocrisy and more sincerity. HERBERT HOOVER FORMALLY TOLD OF HIS NOMINATION (Continued from Page One) every new generation, to every boy and girl. It tolerates no privileged classes or castes or groups who would hold opportunity as their preroga tive. “Only from confidence that his right will be upheld can flow that un bounded courage and hope which stimulates each individual man and woman to endeavor and to achieve ment. The sum of their achievement is the gigantic harvest of national progress. “Conservative, progressive and lib eral thought and action have their only real test in whether they contri bute to equal opportunity, whether they hold open the door of opportun ity. If they do not they are false in their promise no matter what their name may be. “It was Abraham Lincoln who firm ly enunciated this ideal as the equal chance. The Sherman law w-as en acted in endeavor to hold open the door of equal opportunity in busi ness. The commissions for regula tion of public utilities were created to prevent discrimnation in service and prevent extortion in rates—and thereby the destruction of equal op portunity. Equality of opportunity is a fundamental principle of our na tion. With it we must test all our policies. The success or failure of this principle is the test of our gov ernment.” LINCOLN NEWS NOTES Rt. W. G. Master T. T.
