SOUTHWEST BREEZES
By Romaine Saunders
A son was born Monday of last
week to Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Withers.
H. L. James attended the Here
ford sale over at the Graver ranch
on Monday.
• ' .1 _
Cheap power for the farm is
worrying the politicians a lot more
than it is the farmer.
Why the farce of civil service
examinations when the job goes to
the partisan favorite anyway?
Every demagogue from the close
of the civil war to the present has
classed himself as an Abe Lincoln
republican.
The new Dodge truck of D. L.
Withers overturned in a ditch on a
trip to Sioux City a day last week
with disasterous results to the
truck.
Mr. and Mrs. Ernest White went
to Chambers Sunday to attend the
funeral of Mrs. William Cooper.
They were neighbors in Illinois be
fore coming to Nebraska.
Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Rohrer, of
Hastings, and Mr. and Mrs. Glenn
Saunders and little son, of O’Neill,
visited Sunday at the parental
home, that of M~. and Mrs. R.
Saunders.
Jack Frost has given us two
mornings seven points above zero.
Four or five inches of snow spread
the landscape with a dreary remid
er of last winter’s blockades, but
within a day or two autumn’s
brown was fully restored.
Mrs. Plank, in charge of the
school in district 243, found it nec
essary to dismiss school for a few
days last week w'hile she went to
Omaha to have her eyes fitted with
glasses. The time will be made up
holding school on Saturdays.
The state house could do noth
ing for us to close the pheasant
season, but hunters are exercising
care to avoid setting fires. The
snow was some help. There are
not many pf the birds, rabbits con
tinue plentiful with an occasional
dun-grey prairie wolf cautiously
showing himself.
Some from this community were
at Atkinson Saturday night and at
tended the meeting at Memoriall
Hall when Dr. Douglas and Mr.
Manlove, a former Missouri con
gressman, spoke to a large crowd
that felt now they had no possible
excuse to vote otherwise than re
publican. This was offset by
Uncle George tellin’ 'em down at
O'Neill.
A personal friend in a distant
section of the county—that is dis
tant from the southwest—related
some time ago the story of a re
markable situation in his commun
ity. A large interest in religious
services and scripture study had
been developed by the individual
efforts of a few until a company of
worshippers, which would be a
goodly number for a large town,
assembled weekly in a vacant build
ing. The community has one cit
izen who seems to partake of the
hatred of religion now blighting
the moral perceptions of "humanity
in large sections of Europe. He
padlocked the building. This with
out right, title or authority. He
would deprive little ones, whom
the Savior invited to “come unto
Me and forbid them not,” of a
wholesome instruction; close the
door of worship to youth and age
and abandon the community to a
Godless existence. The elements
of ethical decay are working not
alone in far distant lands but right
here at home. Padlock the
churches of America, stumbling
and inefficient as they are, and
Heaven pity us.
Not in the immortal words of
Patrick Henry but as Shakespeare
puts it into the funeral oration of
Mark Anthony, “the evil that men
do lives after them, the good is
often interred with their bones.”
So would our friends of the New
Deal have it with the much mal
igned Mr. Hoover. Over zealous
partisans have forgotten Mr.
Hoover’s work of mercy which
alone in Holt county amounted to
over $200,000 during the last year
of his unhappy administration.
Have forgotten the cans of food
and clothing sent into the county
and distributed to the needy, many
rendered so through no fault of
their own. Have forgotten the
cars of stock feed, of flour in gen
erous 100 lb. bags wisely distributed
through existing local agencies;
this in contrast to the present mar
velous method of 75 per cent out
of the relief funds going to a high
salaried group of administrative
heads for doing little or nothing
with 25 per cent getting into the
hands of the poor bloke with a
shovel and the struggling widow.
The federal government, Mr. Hoo
ver then president, local communi
ties; heartless, souless, greedy,
grasping railroads of America—
these all cooperating did just as
good a job of relief work as ever
has been done and no debt that
would take a half century to make
a dent in involved in doing so.
“The poor ye have always with
you” said He who had not where
to lay His head. They survive the
ages. It has been left to the New
Deal to make a pawn of human
need—to send to the length and
breath of free America a coterie
of federal salaried appointees on
the emblazoned pretex that “no
body shall go hungry.” Sad
enough there are hungry ones.
Personal contributions to many for
a two-bit meal within recent
months testifies to that.

CHI 0S[!
The American people will not merely elect a President on November 3rd—they
will choose a form of government. For that reason, we ask you to consider care
fully the facts before you vote. .
Several prominent economists have said recently that this may be our last election . . . that
Fascism is coming to the United States. They point out the .similarity in national affairs here
now, and in European nations before popular government was overthrown there.
Our national budget is unbalanced . . . national debt near the danger point and growing daily . , .
political carpet-baggers wasting the taxpayers’ money . . . millions still unemployed. Only our
Supreme Court standing as a bulwark against regimentation
of farmers, laborers and business men.
The Republican campaign is a crusade to save the American
form of government for the protection of your home and
family life . . . for the free opportunity to work and live as
your fathers did.
Freedom and tolerance in all walks of life has long been
the prime concern of government ... if you wish to keep
America free from regimentation and dictatorship ... if
you want to continue to follow the dictates of your con
science and to practice your rights as granted you in the
Constitution of the United States, east your vote for those
who will safeguard your liberties.
VOTE REPUBLICAN
l)l)NT RP Fftfll FI) eleventh hour rumors; or efforts to
ilUll 1 DC lVULLi/ stir up racial prejudice by injecting
issues that belong to the past. There is just one issue now—the
form of government under which we choose to live.
To WPA Workers: I
When you go into the voting booth
on November 3rd you will be alone
with your own conscience. As an
American citizen, you should vote
your honest convictions and do what
you think is best for the future of
YOUR country. Do not allow any
one to threaten or coerce you—no
one need ever know how you vote.
If you want a job, where you can
give an honest day’s work and re
ceive in return enough to support
your family decently; if you want
to look the world in the face and
be proud you are a citizen of free
America; if you are tired of the
present situation r/hich discourages
honest thrift and industry and de
grades the honor of labor, may we
suggest that you vote Republican.
