A big ranch down at North Platte is the principal monument to his memory. Nebraska had others— not so sure but they were right here in Holt county—who did more to develop the great plains; but then, hero worship centers 'upon one, not many. Things are not what they used to be clown at the lake. The lake it self has just about faded to a frog puddle, rendering it no longer an attraction for tourists. The old i dance hall has been moved to Bur well where it goes into service as a sale barn. Cabins are deserted and the store_ closed. Drouth has an effect other than on the strug gling corn fields. It cloth appear an interogation point was fancied ffom what ap peared in an item or two in the last puff of Breezes as to whether the compiler of these highly im portant and edifying paragraphs was on short rations or full feed. The obvious may also be ambig uous. Responsible for a few days for what was served at the festal board, don’t get an idea there was any shortage. Mrs. J.

SIMMONS WANTS AMERICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT (Continued from page 1.) lects in taxes or what it receives from the sale of bonds which are mortgages upon the property, the income, and the earnings of the American people. As taxes go up, living costs increase, standards of living go down. Money paid in taxes cannot b^ Spent for wages, nor food, nor clothing, nor fuel.” He stated his belief that we can take care of the needs of our peo ple for relief, and grant adequate pensions to those who by reason of age or disability are no longer able to care for themselves, and we can do it at less cost and get more money thru to the people who are entitled to receive it by eliminat ing political spending and “politic al reliefers.” “I venture the opin ion that the county board of this county, and 1 do not know them, can more adequately and more cheaply administer relief and get it for QUICK STARTING PERFORMANCE D-X The Lubricating Motor Fuel PORTER’S Diamond Station West Douglas St. O’Neill North Central Hereford Association’s First Annual Fall SHOW and SALE Hassett, Nebraska Friday and Saturday October 9 & 10 SHOW FRIDAY SALE SATURDAY 34 Bulls 23 Heifers For Sale Catalogue, Write H.O. THORLEY, Sec y. SPRING VIEW, NEBRASKA Ihru to the people who need it in the proper amounts better than any jueraucrat that any administration Republican or New- Deal, can send here from Washington. Mr. Simmons further dee-lured diat relief for our unemployeel, re ief for our farmers, while neces sary, is not the end of a govern ment program. The objective should be to so restore the econ omic conditions of the country that need for relief will be reduced to i minimum. “The opinion is cur rent thruout the country that those >vho are receiving relief from the government are not concerned with the maintenance of the nation’s -redit. May I suggest to you that hose people in America who have no other present source of liveli hood than the relief funds of the government should take the side of those of us who insist upon main taining the nation’s credit, for if that credit ever fails, there will be no further source of funds for re lief, pensions, or assistance.’’ “There are two issues in the campanign; one, economic, the other, a change in our form of gov eminent. No person and no polit ical party has a monopoly upon the humanitarian desires of the Amer ican people. We all want America to prosper. We all want jobs for people who want to work at ade quate wages. W’e all want busi ness to recover. W’e all want the country to go ahead. The question is one of methods by which that is to be done.” “I am unalterably opposed to changing the fundamental struc ture of our American system of government. That issue we shall neither evade nor compromise.” NORRIS We think that Senator Norris shows himself in rather a shabby way if he permits himself to be used as a tool to eviscerate the primary system of which he him self is so ardent an advocate. It would not be surprising if a great many Nebraskans were to be found, sharing that opinion. If Mr. Nor ris desired to remain in the senate, with democratic support, he should have presented himself as a prim ary candidate. If he meant to run as an independent, he should have so announced. To have proceeded in the regular order would, not be open to criticism. But the way the game is being played doesn't appeal to the sense of good sports manship. It casts a suspicion on good faith. Nebraska voters are free, untrammeled and independ ent. They do not relish having men, even great men, play horse with them and their institutions.— Omaha World-Herald.
