HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS VOTE THEIR PREFERENCE FOR FUTURE LIFE WORK Of one hundred fifty-six students in the O’Neill high school asked to ex press a choice of their life’s work but one would be a politician. And even this one does not care to devote much preliminary* work to a pilitical career. He wants to be a congressman right off the bat. Many politicians of state and national reputation have made their start in O’Neill and it may be that the lone political aspirant has it figured out that by starting well ifp on the scale as a congressman the presi dency eventually may come his way. With the other one hundred and fifty five however politics apparently is not much more attractive than the clergy or the newspaper profession, for none expressed a preference for these. Twelve boys and one girl in the high school, not included in the 156, ex pressed no preference at all and from these a couple of more politicians may develop and perhaps a clergyman and a journalist, or even a plug reporter. “What is your choice of life work? If you have not decided the matter, what is your preference now?” was the question submitted to the school. Eight of the girls would like to be stenographers, 45 teachers, 5 nurses, 5 musicians, 1 a movie actress, 1 an elocutionist, 1 an author, 1 a doctor of medicine and 1 undecided. Six be s would be doctors of medi cine, 8 electrical engineers, 4 lawyers, 2 dentists. 1 hotel proprietor, 1 musi cian, 7 farmers, 6 mechanical en gineers, 3 salesmen, 4 civil engineers, 2 merchants, 3 railroad engineers, 1 a baker, 3 stockmen, 1 a congressman, 3 bankers, 1 carpenter, 1 cobbler, 1 teacher, 1 bookkeeper, 1 business manager, 1 train dispatcher and 12 undecided. Twelve boys were absent when the vote was taken, and one girl. ALL MAKES OF SEWING MA chines repaired and adjusted. Au thorized Singer agency.

WASHINGTON NEWS ITEMS BY CONGRESSMAN SIMMONS The organization of the 68th Cong ress was effected Wednesday the 5th. The opposition to the election of Speaker Gillette, was directed in no way against him personally, his quali fications or fitness for the office, but the Nelson group by preventing his election, hoped to secure certain con cessions. It develdped during the voting that the Nelson group demands were not as originally given to the press, but they asked only that they be given an opportunity to offer amendments to, and debate the rules under which the House conducts its business. It also was made known that the Re publican leaders had contemplated amendment and liberalization of the rules, which would allow the progres sives the opportunity which they asked. When the situation became known, the House majority elected Gillette and organized on December 5 th. The public generally is of the opinion that the parties elected to Congress in November, 1922, became members March 4, 1923. This is not the case. The members of the present Congress, took their oath of office, De cember 5, 1923, before which time they were members-elect. Thus thirteen months expired between the election and induction into office. Five months only remain until Nebraska primaries and eleven months unitl a general elect ion. The unfairness of this situation both to the members elect, and the country, is apparent. The Senate last year passed a bill correcting this situation, but it failed to reach a vote in the House. It will be again pro posed this year, with very good chances of passage. As a result of the contest between Representative Graham and Long worth for Floor Leadership, an agree ment was reached, which gave the leadership to Mr. Longworth, who is well qualified as a parliamentarian for the position. His work and policies, and the order* of considering legisla tion, will be directed by the steering committee, which, by said agreement in this Congress, is to be composed of seven members, four of whom are to come from agricultural state. Thus for the first time in any recent con gresses, agricultural representatives are in a position to control the course of legislation. ROBERT G. SIMMONS.
