THE NEBRASKA
SCENE
By the Lowell Service
Political sachems in Omaha and
Lincoln plotted, planned, slaved and
exhorted in mad efforts to create
harmony. Form all appearances
the results are nil.
The most ambitious attempt by
the democrats. A turkey banquet
was staged in Lincoln, with the
nffable Jim Farley as the guest of
honor and master pacifier. War
ring and peaceful democrats at
tended in droves and bunches.
The camera man officiated with
the idea of giving a bona fide ex
hibit of brotherly love. Charley
Bryan, James E. Lawrence, Gov
ernor Cochran, Postmaster General
Farley and Postmaster Fenton
were portrayed standing before the
table where the feast was spread.
Mr. Farley stressed the alleged
fact that factions did not exist in
(he democratic party.
Scarcely had Sunny Jim departed
when political hatchets flashed in
the October sun. Charley Bryan, it
is stated by some of his veterans,
will run for the democratic nomi
nation for governor, despite hell
and high water. Roy Cochran’s
boys maintain that the governor
just cannot quit right now without
stepping clear out of the picture.
The rift in the democratic lute
was further emphasized by the
comments in the Lincoln Star, edi
ted by James E. Lawrence. The
editorial bore the caption “Lip
Service.”
“Jim Farley’b Lincoln visit,” said
the Star, “brought forth a sound
view of the various groups within
the democratic party itself. He
said that in the complexity of the
problems there was a place for men
and women of different viewpoints,
and there is. He said that in ef
fect there was no place for those
who merely gave lip service—wrho
promise one thing before the elec
tion and did another thing after
election.
“The implications were unmis
takable.”
The writer then proceeds to take
fall out of Senator Burke by in
ference. All of which shows that
the democrats might appropriately
use a paraphrase of the old slogan
“Yes, we have no harmony today.”
With the republicans it is much
the same. Two former presiden
tial candidates, Hoover and Lan
don, have put down microphonic
barrages. Aspiring candidates in
Nebraska have been caught in the
cross fire. Discreetly all the can

school grounds. A week of hunt
ing showed its effect when thirteen
people sustained accidental gunshot
w'ounds. Fourteen falls were re
corded with a like number of in
juries and one person burned.
Three persons suffered infection
from getting sandburrs into their
hands, one girl was cut, and a wo
man stepped on a nail. There were
six fires.
Farm Accidents Show Lowest
Number
Agricultural accidents hit a new
low in many weeks with only 21
reported. Twenty persons were in
jured or killed. One death occur
red when part of a haystacker fell
and struck a farmer on the neck.
No disabilities were reported on
the farms.
Machinery was the cause of four
injuries and horses or cattle were
the reason for three of them. Five
farmers were injured in falls and
three were cut. One man was hurt
in a runaway, another sprained his
wrist shucking corn, a third suf
fered an eye injury, and still an
other crushed his finger while cut
ting wood. Only one agricultural
fire occurred this week.
Industrial Accidents Stay the Same
Accidents in the industrial world
tied last week’s mark, twenty-six.
Injuries and deaths came to twenty
one, however, as compared to nine
teen last week. Two workmen
(lied from injuries sustained when
they fell fifty feet to the ground.
The one disability came from a
three-story fall into some light
wires. Six workmen were injured
by machinery this week, two were
burned, and one was cut. Another
workmen was injured in a fall. Four
men were injured by falling ob
jects, one had an eye injury, an
other fractured his ribs loading
cattle at a stockyard, and still an
other crushed his hand. Five in
dustrial fires were recorded.
Black Widow Spiders Figure
Again In Home Accidents
Home accidents increased slight
ly this week with forty-eight ac
cidents reported as compared to
forty-five last week. Twenty-eight
were injured or killed in contrast
to the twenty-seven of the previous
report. Two people died from
severe burns this week and a boy
from the bite of a Black Widow
spider. One woman was disabled
in a fall. Twelve were injured by
falls in the home and four by burns.
Two more were victims of Black
Widow spiders. One woman was
cut, another caught her hands in a
