^SOUTHWEST BREEZES

George Cuttler went to Atkinson
Tuesday, having some cattle in the
sale ring. ,
For assuming agonizing atti
tudes, the foot-ball player just
about takes the cake.
j Frank Williamson and family of
\ the Bower ranch were guests at the
ample dinner table at the Riley
ranch last Sunday.
Jack Frost visited the southwest
Sunday night, wilting the tender
vines but left no preceptible marks
on tree foliage.
The oil and gas station over on
highway 11 has again changed
operators. Mr. Shonka, lately of
the Carter ranch, is now handling
the nozzles.
Ernest Hall, who has a ranch in
the Beaver valley west of Peters
burg, was up this way recently and
bought a bunch of black calves of
Ernest Young.
I could not feature Senator
Burke of Nebraska joining a rep
rehensible organization which “at
heart he did not believe in” for the
purpose of sliding into office.
Mrs. Farrier and daughter, Miss
Alice, of Chambers, visited Sunday
afternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Baker
and Mrs. Riley. Mr. and Mrs.
Howard Berry W'ere also guests
there at the same time.
A Earl Doolittle was over this way
Sunday from the Amelia neighbor
hood assisting his brother-in-law,
Bernard Kennedy, in the belated
harvest of thirteen acres of one
of the greatest sorghum crops ever
seen in the southwest.
Men elevated to high places in
government who have become fas
Y cinated by the phrase credited to
' Louis XIV, “The State—it is I,”
may well remember it wras not long
thereafter until royal heads rolled
from the bloody guillotine.
The dagger-marred body of the
great Ceaser would turn in its tomb
could it know that a twentieth
century pattern of world conquer
ors from the Tiber has come to our
shores with a cigarette hanging
from his lips and will “study the
movies.”
If the president has made no
more diligent effort to ascertain
the facts on this western trip than
was apparent at White House
circles respecting the charges of
Black’s Klan connections he is no
better informed than wheft the
presidential train began the
joui-ney.
Maintaining jjr twenty-five thous
and dollar resi(fencb in mild Vir
| ginia with he and members of the
Lewis family drawing $23,000 a
year in, salaries from laboring
men’s assessment**there are strong
personal reasons' for the ex-coal
miner to continue labor union
agitation.
About 34 per cent of the world’s
i peoples are classed as Christian.
[ Probably not more than 1 per cent
of these qualify as such under
Biblical requii’ements. Have those
commissioned to “go into all the
world and make desciples” made a
failure of it after nearly 2,000
years’ effort?
When the old timers were con
triving ways to get industries
started in Holt county—launching
a packing house, chicory factory,
flour mills and many other under
takings the possibilities from a
pickle factory seems not to have
been thought of. The southwest
is particularly prolific with cucum
bers of high quality. Every little
garden patch has them by the
bushel.
General Hugh Johnson, one of
the original New Dealers and cus
todian of the now defunct Blue
Eagle, has become one of the most
caustic critics of the leader he
started out to follow. “The execu
tive,” he asserts, seeks power to in
fluence the decisions of the federal
courts—of the supreme court by
the appointment to it of a majority
of puppets of his own choosing—
hill-billy, Ku Klux woftl hats from
the fol ks of the creek like Senator
Black. Under the seduction of
ballyhoo, bribery and charm we are
moving away from the democracy
imagined by the constitution and
straight toward as rigid a dictator
ship as there is on earth, and we
are moving there because we don’t
realize what we are doing to our
selves*” To the partisan blind
worshipper of a political god and
the 22-short calibre country editor
of democratic persuasion it makes
little difference in their loyalty
what the president does but the
New Deal has brought to light
many men with the mental vigor
and moral stamina not to be led
by a ring in their nose.
The chief industry of the south
west is raising beeves. This in
turn renders the the man on the
horse of paramount consequence.
Tom Doolittle’s outfit moved a
herd from summer range Saturday
to the home place. A snappy 400
pound White Face calf got lone
some over night and Sunday morn
ing headed west for his “home on
the range.” A telephone message
to this neighborhood asked that he
be headed off. When spotted he
was traveling like a Hambeltonian
trotter. Bernie Kennedy climbed
aboard a handsome blue-roan Stal
lion and with whirling riatta cut
loose in full chase. By fine per
formance of rodeo stuff in real life
the calf was brought into perman
ent captivity.

Some Senators say they wouldn’t
have voted for Judge Black’s con

should have stayed around and
listened to some of Senator Burke’s
speeches.
