HAVE FAITH IN NEBRASKA.
(Omaha Bee, Nov. 23.)
There is not a thing in the world
the matter with Nebraska, except the
one fact that there are too many ask
ing, “What is the matter?” Few
though they be, compared with the
whole number, they make up in vocif
erous calamity howling what they
lack numerically. The great trouble
is that the outside world does not
judge Nebraska by the great majority
working away with cheerful hearts
and willing hands, building for bigger
and better things, but does judge the
community by the calamity wails and
the sobs of grief
Business in all lines is on the up
grade. Conditions are steadily grow
ing better. The people are taking hold
with renewed courage and greater
hope.
Nebraska was not builded by ca
lamity howlers and retailers of sob
stories. It was not builded by men of
little courage and less faith. It was
not builded by men and women who sat
down to whine and repine at the first
backset. We of today may think we
have endured sore trials and tribula
tions, but what were they compared
with the trials and tribulations of the
pioneers who lacked every comfort and
convenience that we of today enjoy,
and endured hardships and privations
of which their children and tneir child
ren’s cildren know nothing.
Faith in the future is the enduring
cornerstone upon which Nebraska has
been builded. Faith in the future,
faith in the commonwealth’s resources,
faith in the ultimate rewards of toil
and sacrifice and service What Ngr
braska needs most at thiB time is citi
zens who will Tace the future with
confidence instead of facing the past
with discouragement. Nebraska needs
men and women who will devote more
time to talking about what the st#te
has and less time to whining
what the state has not secured; more
talk about what can be done by united
effort, and less talk about what migh|
' ave been.
The sob and wail of the calamity
howler should be drowned out in ap
overwhelming chorus of thanksgiving
for what Nebraska has and may have
if its people will do their part. The
faith that inspired the pioneers will, if
instilled into the minds and hearts of
Nebraskans today, accomplish greater
things than the pioneers ever dreamed
of accomplishing.
Have faith in Nebraska Faith ip
the state’s unlimited resources an4
possibilities, faith in Nebraska’s citin
zenship, faith in your neighbors, faith
in the future and faith in the father
whose guiding hand has always led
through every doubt and difficulty.
Nebraska’s future was never
brighter. Prosperity was never more
assured. Rewards of honest endeavor
were never . nearer at hand. Know
youi* state better, and knowing it bet
ter, love it more. And loving it more
you will imbibe a stronger faith that
will lead you on to greater endeavor
O’NEILL “SCHOOL MAN”
WOULD ABOLISH FOOT
BALL IN THE SCHOOLS
An annonymous “School Man” writ
ing to the Omaha Bee from O’Neill
would abolish football in the schools.
Following is the communication sign
ed “A School Man,” which appeared
in the Bee Wednesday morning of this
week: ,
Too Great a Price
O’Neill, Neb.—To the Editor of The
Omaha Bee: Every fall the papers
are full of the tragedies of football.
Today we see where a boy was killed
at Chardon in a game between Chad
ron and a neighboring town. But we
are informed that the game went on
and that a victory was won to the tune
of some 56 to 6.
Wonderful “nerve” it must have
taken to continue that game! And it
may be, as the sjports will tell us, that
the boy died while grandly fighting to
make that victory possible—for the
glory of the team.
We will grant that the boy was a
red-blooded American and that he died
while bravely fighting. But what of
it ? We still contend that too great a
price was paid for the victory And if
we, who never knew the boy, 200 miles
away from the scene of the tragedy,
feel thusly about the matter, how must
that old father and mother have felt
that evening as they gathered about
the table for the evening meal and
looked ufpon the vacant chair They
and they alone can properly estimate
the price that was paid for the victory
upon that sad day.
We don’t want to be an old fogy,
but we do wonder sometimes how long
the fathers and mothers and the tax
payers of our country are going to
stand for such foolishness. Football
is a college game and has absolutely
I no place in our high schools. Boys of
high school age are too immature to
participate in a game of such a stren
rous nature as football.
fab all v.e go one step further at the
risk o' being octracised from the pres
ence of all “sensible people.” Well,
we’ll tread softly, but here goes: 'We
would suggest that our next legisla
ture take the matter up and pass a
>ruy prohibiting football in our public
schools. A SCHOOL MAN. j

STUART PIONEERS
CI-LEBRATE GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. James Married
Fifty T^ears.
(Stuart Advocate.)
Wednesday evening, November 21,
1923, being the fiftieth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. W B.
James, about seventy-five of their
friend and neighbors assembled at the
Gem Theatre to help celebrate the
occasion.
To but comparatively few married
couples is given the privilege of
traveling life’s pathway together for
fifty years, but notwithstanding the
hardships and privations of pioneer
life, time has dealt lightly with Mr.
and Mrs. James, and their pep and
vigor is the envy * of their many
younger friends.
Informal visiting among the guest^1
a vocal solo by Miss Green, accompa
nied by Mrs. Krotter and a recitation,
“That Old Sweetheart of Mine” by
Miss Fae Cobb, with the re
newal of the marriage covenant by
Mr. and Mrs. James, Mr and Mrs.
Walter Jillson acting as best man and
bridesmaid, Rev. W. A. Wilson offi
iating and using various humerous
variations of the usual ceremony, fur
nished entertainment until supper was
announced.
A U-shaped table had bgen arranged
in such a way as to seat everyone at
once, the “bride and groom occupying
the apex of tl\e Circle, and before them
in a place of nonor, was the “bride’s
cake.” S
The tables and lights were tastefully
and appropriately decorated, gold color
being the notif. The supper was
dainty, appetizing and abundant and
must have taken a lot of work in its
preparation.
Rev Beers was the very efficient
and versatile toast-master of the oc
casion, a large number of guests re
sponding with sincere expressions of
appreciation of Mr. ahd Mrs. James
as neighbor's and friends
A humerous presentation of a pair
of gold fish in a bowl as being sym
bolical of the occasion, was made by
'Rev. Beers, with a fitting response by
Mrs. James.
Mr. Jillson then, in behalf of the
assembled guests, presented the
“newly weds” a real golden token of
their respect and friendship.
Midnight approaching, after re
peated congratulations, the guests de
parted, wondering if they might at
seme time, enjoy such an event, com
memorating their o*vn nuptfttjs.

An apron connecting the radiator with the fender skirts is also
