SMALL DOSES
PAST AND PRESENT
By Romaine Saunders
Rt. 5, Atkinson
Lieutenants, sergeants and pri

crash of war, are being knocked
over by the carload by Dan
Cupid.

Our late antagonists, not now'
our friends, welcome hara-kiri as
the brave and honorable escape
from moral responsibility. In
our part of the world suicide is
the cowardly and dishonorable
escape from life’s exacting obli
gations.
The 24 million and some thous

ka this season are more or less of
a side issue along with the greater
agricultural job. But from this
numerous flock it may be assumed
that the Sunday chicken dinner
is still popular.
Young, beautiful, modern but
not overdone, she sat across in the
opposite seat, a bit gay but not
excessively familiar. A blue
clad sailor by her side seemed to
say to himself: “Here she is—
the one l have been looking for.”
But something in that gal’s
“smile and frown curled crimson
lip and instep high” threw out
the warning that here is a Ally
able to take care of herself.
In that little state of Rhode Is

Even in Washington, where the
silver bells of oratory daily vi

orator of the Platte is still talked
about—remembered not for great
deeds but captivating eloquence.
A light frost on the 12th. The

something more than “a light

HARRY KEEFE DIED AT
DENVER, WEDNESDAY
FUNERAL HERE SATURDAY
Harry Keefe died in Denver,
Wednesday morning, according
to word received here by Mrs.
Keefe’s sister, Mrs. H. E. Coyne.
The body will be shipped here,
arriving Friday and the funeral
will be held from the Catholic
Church at 10:00 a. m., Saturday
morning.
Mr. Keefe had been a sufferer
from tuberculosis for some time
and had spent some time in the
hospital at Kearney. He returned
home a few months ago and, ac
companied by his wife, left a
week ago Monday for Denver,
in the hopes that the climate
might assist him in overcoming
the ailment. Obituary notice

security.” Is this the vanguard
of country-wide unemployment
or a little crafty C. I. O. stunt to
speed up the Washington gents
who are going to hand out sixty
million jobs? ‘‘We must not al
low wags cuts,” Jobs at better
wages.” ‘‘Bcndix local 330 UAW
-CIO demands jobs and security
for all!” These are some of the
slogans on parading labor’s ban
ners. Well, the ranch boys are
taking a drop of about a dollar*'
a hundred week by week on their
marketable beeves but are flaunt
ing no banners. Farm wives are
taking a third less for poultry
products and doing it with a
smile. And isn’t this unemploy
ment compensation going to do
more harm than good. Fred S.
Archerd, handling the out-of-job
applicants in the Lincoln area,
tells this: One woman, whose
husband draws a salary of $5,000
a year and has for some time,
frankly admitted that she was
tired of working at any kind of
a job outside of her home and
was “perfectly ready” to “go back
to normalcy” but that she might
just as well have the unemploy
ment compensation and further
more. “she intended to get it.”
“Ie seems to me,” said Archerd,
“ that these women and these men
who have made more money in
defense work than they had ever
made before or ever will make
again should accept the fact now
that the war is over and that it
is just as much their patriotic'
duty to accept prevailing wages,
as it was their duty to enter de
fense work which paid wages
private industry cannot and will
not and must not pay.”
Something over 230,000 Ameri
cans were killed in combat during!
the war that now lie buried where '
they had fallen. This does not
take into account those who
found graves in the depth of the
seas and around whose “white
bones the red coral shall grow.”
Relatives of the dead will have I
the say as to whether the bodies
will be taken up for reburial in
one of our seventy-nine national
cemeteries. I recently went
through one of these, perhaps*'the
most notable, at Arlington, Va.
Row upon row, stretching in
methodical and apparently end
less design. As you drive the
avenues and look upon them the
thought overwhelms, the quest
ion comes unbidden, why the
monstrous tragedy of war involv
ing peaceful Americans. We have
not sought the spoils of conquest, j
the infamy of agression, yet there I
has scarcely been a major con-!
flict the past 100 years that we
have not heard the bugle-call to
arms. Science has touched the
source of infinite destruction.
Will it end agressive warfare
through fear of annihilation, the
suicide of the race, our good earth
burned to a crisp? Or is there •
strain of exaggerated fiction in it
all? What human terror shook
the primative race when spears
and swords took the place of the
jawbone of an ass in warfare;
What horror inspired the flight
of men when poisoned arrows
flew at them, when the deadly
bullet came zinging through
space? Bombs, deadly ex
plosives dropped from the sky
and hurled across land and water
hrve all been challenged in one
way and another. Where is the
limit?
