SHIELDS
A shower was tendered, in honor
of Miss Nellie Cleary and John
Turner at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. John Cleary on the evening of
Aug. 31.
Miss Nellie, the recipient, is a
graduate of the St. Mary’s acad
emy of O’Neill, and has been a
successful school teacher for sever
al jears. She is well known and
makes a favorable impression with
her many friends, who attended
the shower and presented her with
many useful and valuable gifts as
a, token of esteem.
John is a young man who grew
up in the northern part of the
county, has exemplary habits and
a host of friend wherever he goes.
He is a good all-’round sport that
everyone likes.
About 11 o’clock the young couple
opened the numerous packages
that were stacked on the table, an
nouncing the contributors name,
after which John gave a short talk
thanking each and every one for
their kind remembrance.
A lunch was served immediately
afterward which hit the right spot.

ed by Miss Murray, who carried a

looked unnecessary to insist on

titled, “You Will Always Be A
Sweetheart To Me.”
Miss Cleary and Mr. Turner had
the floor all to, themselves while

THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
(Continued from page 1.)
when they win an election. He
likes politics and is bound to run
again for something, but he hates
like heck to take another licking.
Consequently he is doing some deep
studying before committing him
self.
Democrats mentioned for the
senatorial job include Former Gov
ernor Keith Neville, of North
Platte, who probably tops the list;
Charles W. Bryan, tb*«e times gov
ernor and defeated for the demo
cratic senatorial nomination in the
last primary; Harry B. Coffee, con
gressman from the fifth district,
and J. E. Lawrence, Lincoln news
paper editor, who is said to be as
sured of Norris’ support in case the
old veteran decides not to run
again.
Incidentally, Terry Carpenter
has announced he will ruti for sen
ator if Norris steps out of the
picture.
One thing appears to be certain
at the present time—Charles Mc
Cloud, of York, will not seek re
election asrepublican national com
mitteeman for Nebraska. Either
McKelvie or Simmons is expected
to capture that honor next year.
It is also certain that if McKel
vie chooses to run, Simmons will
not oppose him, and vice versa.
“Sam” and “Bob” as the new deal
democrats affectionately call them,
could put Siamese twins to shame,
politically speaking.
Another interesting issue con
fronts the voters the first con
gressional district. Congressman
Luckey doubtlessly intends to run
for re-election, but opposition right
in his own political family is early
shaping itself.
a goou man to Det on, the pro
gnosticators say, would be Walter
Jurgensen, lieutenant governor. He
slipped into public office with the
1933 democratic landslide by a very
small majority, but two years later
he made the wise boys open their
eyes by receiving the greatest num
ber of vots and the largest maj
ority over his opponent of any
state officer.
Jurgensen is a man of action
rather than words, and he hasn’t
committed himself as yet. How
ever, he has taken over the news
paper published in College View,
suburban Lincoln, pepped it up con
siderably, renamed it the Nebraska
Digest, and has added the title of
Publisher and Editor to his name.
Things look suspicious when an al
legedly normal man enters the
weekly newspaper business these
days of his own free will.
Mayor Bryan of Lincoln, is also
sized up by many observers as op
position to Luckey. The former
governor is “dry-nursing” the sup
posedly dry first district in a very
evident fashion.
Soldier compensation which dur
ing the past few years has become
one of the country’^ major political
issues, has been interpreted by
James L. Brown, Lincoln lawyer,
orator and war veteran, in a man
ner that brings to Nebraska veter
ans a new perspective on the issue.
“We who wore the uniform of
our country are made less impati
ent by postponment of compensa
tion payment,” he declares, “than
by the character of some argu
ments urged against our rights to
a bonus. The argument that the
country cannot afford, to pay it now
is sound. The arguments that a
soldier who escaped crippling dis
ease or injury should be content
with his good fortune, and, that he
capitalizes patriotism when he
seeks compensation, try the pati
ence sorely. Still, we must be pati
ent. For the republic is not un
gratful; it is a nation distracted.
“We should not forget the coun
try's experience since the war.
First an unnatural prosperity brot
forth a materialism and self-inter
est which are exasperated always
by claims resting on a basis so in
tangible as loyalty and gratitude.
Second, as startling as a fireball
in the night, the waves and tides
of taxation and vanishing values
seemed suddenly to be washing
away the security Of materialism.
Fear replaced self-interest, and the
depression deepened the cloud thru
which the public saw the soldier
and his sacrifices.
“But those twin imposters, pros
perity and depression, will pass.
Everything passes. And when they
are gone a clearer, finer apprecia
tion of all value will come. The
country will remember its warriors
as it ever has; with warm appre
ciation.
“Soldier! the country will re
member you as you stood in line
and gave a mortgage on your per
fect body, on your chance for hap
piness. It will see you toiling thru
mud on long marches under heavy
packs. It will glimpse you hungry,
cold; and tortured by a haunting
fear that never again would you
look upon that face you love.
“Just yet, your sacrifice is not
clearly discerned. The country still
sees as thru a glass, darkly. And
so we must be patient as out of the
shadow of depression comes the
argument, from those who know
not what they say, that we would
‘capitalize patriotism.’ Of them,
we can say with Komeo: He jests
at scars that never felt a wound.
“The bonus will be paid. In the
sincerity of our people we can
trust.’’
It has been definitely learned
that the constitutioanlity of the!
[ state bonding act, passed by the
j 1935 legislature, will be tested in
the courts by action brought by
bonding companies. Inside infor
mation also reveals that a court
test of the new law placing a 2
per cent gross tax on premiums of
fire insurance companies will be
made.
Two main points will be argued
in the hearing on the bonding act
which gives the state virtually a
monopoly on the bonding of state
officials and most officials of gov
ernmental subdivisions.
First, if a public official is bond
ed by the state (if the state gives
a bond to the state), does that con
stitute a wavier of the bond?
Second, the Nebraska constitu
tion provides that the credit of the
state shall never be given or loaned
in aid of any individual, associa
tion or corporation. Is that pro
vision violated by the new law?
The tax on fire insurance com
panies is supposed to be paid to
cities and villages to pay relief
benefits to members of fire depart
ments, and the insurance com
panies say it is a plain case of the
local governments shoving their
rightful duties over on them.
Applications for reimbursement
of losses to crops filed with the
state hail insurance bureau total
approximately $100,000 while there
is only $35,000 in the coffers to
pay the losses. This means the
losses will have to be paid on a
fractional pro rata basis.
