Tims was, not so very long ago,
when the prospect of an expedition
to the south pole would be of Inter
est to every man who read a news
paper. Today, a good many people
will be surprised to learn that & new
expedition Is In prospect. This time
tbe trip Is to be made by aeroplane,
end the leader Is John L. Cope, a
.Briton, who plans to chart the whole
antarctic region from the air. By
the way, how long has It been since
jou heard of Dr. Frederick Cook?
With commendable promptness,
the national house and senate re
passed the prohibition enforcement
bill over the veto of the president,
with ample votes to spare. The pres
ident's position, that lelslatlon in
tended to cover an emergency was
no longer needed when the emerg
ency Is at an end, Is undoubtedly
technically correct, but the situation
was complicated. In' the meantime,
by the passage of the eighteenth
Amendment, and congress exercised
the better Judgment. Further, It
seems a trifle Inconsistent to hold
that the war emergency Is over so
far as prohibition Is concerned, and
yet insist that the war Is still on
when dealing with the striking min
ers. It makes one wonder whether
Dr. Orayson shouldn't insist that his
patient be fully rested before he Is
permitted to again take up the reins
of government.
Nebraska politicians, both demo
cratic and republican, are painfully
low in extending to tne new fern
Jnlne voters the right hand of fellow
ship. , This week the chairman of the
republican state central committee
Issues a manifesto urging county and
precinct chairmen to get busy and in
clude the women in their councils,
Back in New York state, where Tam
many politicians cut their eye teeth
young, a series of state conferences
of democratic women have -been ar
ranged. The first of these was held
in Albany October 2 and 3. A sec
ond conference was held October 20
At both of these every effort, was
Aiade to get the women Interested In
and lined up solidly behind the par
ty's welfare bills, which probably had
been provided for the occasion. In ad
dition to all this, twenty-five hundred
women were entertained at a huge
banquet tendered them by Tammany
ball leaders. The result is that, al
though very few offices are to be
filled at the coming election In New
York state, the women are out work
ing hard. It will not be a difficult
task for either the democrats or re
publicans of Nebraska to get the
women voters Interested, and while
the republican move to get a woman
on each precinct committee Is a step
n the right direction, there Is a big
opportunity for leaders lof either
party. No better time can be found
than right now to take steps to In
terest the women voters. Politicians
might as well realize that unlimited
woman suffrage is at hand, and
whether they like It or not, prepare
to extend a cordial greeting and
make room for them In party coun
cils. If they don't get the right sort
of a welcome, they may form a party
of their own and run It to suit them
selves. .
Don't forret the Red Cross mem
bership campaign. The drive is now
on, and when it closes on November
11, every man and woman, and most
of the children of Box Butte county
should be enrolled. Nebraska has
the distinction of having the largest
per capita of membership of all the
states, and It's one honor we-don't
want to see get away from us. All
you need is a heart and a dollar.
Don't get the Idea that the Red Cross
work is over. There are today some
thirty thousand soldiers in the hos
pitals of the lnlted States, to say
nothing of the thousands still over
seas. Appropriations of $2,100,000
to carry on camp service, and $210,
000 to continue canteen service have
recently been made. Hundreds of
thousands of families of soldiers and
sailors are being served each month
by the Red Cross home service. The
Red Cross alms to provide every
community with public health nurses,
to prevent such calamities as the in
fluenza epidemic. Let your mind go
back a year or so to the time when
a son, brother or sweetheart of yours
was In service and then come
across, cheerfully willingly and en
thuslastlcally. There are lots of de
mands on your pocketbooks right
now, but this Is one roll call you can't
miss and still preserve your self
respect.
General Pershing, who has been
meeting with the joint committee on
military affairs of the national senate
and house, has recommended the
abolishment of the guard as main
talned by the states, and the substi
tution of "reserve units," which are
to be organized by. the federal gov
ernment and are to be under federal
control.' The general would "pre
serve traditions and nurture local
pride" by keeping intact the person
nel and names of the regiments. He
is even willing that some provision
bet made so that the service of these
reserve units would be available to
the governor of any state in case of
emergency, which would remove one
of the chief objections to the change.
Men who were in the service, es
pecially the national guardsmen, will
see in this recommendation simply
another Indication of the regular
army's attitude toward them, an at
tltude which has been characteristic
since the days of the civil war. In .
the civil war, the national guard reg
iments won fully as many battles and
made as glorious a record as any of
the regular army , troops. Early In
the European war, It was seen that
the men In charge didn't propose to
allow stafe troops to get any par
ticular notoriety. A few regiments
went Into action unchanged save as
to name, but in a number of in
stances not only was tbe name
changed, but the personnel was
mixed In such a way that no regiment
could really claim any certain state
as Its home. General Pershing him
self admits that "the national guard
performed excellent service in the'
war," qualifying tne praise ry add
ing, "considering Its limited oppor
tunity for training," when as a mat
ter of fact those national guard reg
iments which served on the border
had a great deal more training than
the regular army or national army
troops, and made quite as good a rec
ord. "Its officers and men," the gen
eral continues, "had the feeling, and
quite properly so, that they had not
had complete support from the reg
ular army." The national guard
hasn't always been the most admir
able or efficient of organizations, es
pecially In some of the western
states, but we predict that a consid
erable roar will go up If there is a
hint of doing away with It.
Daylight saving will not be a mat
ter of great concern If everybody in
sists on working only six hours per
day. Record
