LINCOLN—In rapid succes
sion the Death Angel has plac
ed the final period to life’s fit
ful dreams of three sturdy pio
neers of the O’Neill community
whom I had known for more
than a half-century. And the
fourth of whom it seems inad
equate to mark down merely as
a sturdy pioneer but rather as
a lady of refinement who lack
end womanly qualities of a pio
ed none of the determination
neer period, Mrs. Clarence
Selah.
Her husband had been editor
both in Ewing and O’Neill, rev
enue collector and county
judge. Whe county judge the
Selah family came into posses
sion of the home in the north
patt of O’Neill originally built
by my father for my brother.
These four have now joined
them in the silent abode on the
hill six feet under ground.
I had not learned of John
Paul Sullivan’s death until I
went to O’Neill for a final
feeble tribute to the memory of
D. H. Cronin. They both were
among that group known as the
“Michigan settlement.’’ And
then Joe Yantzi, another of that
caravan of pioneers who consti
tuted the salt of the earth, was
brought in for burial. Time
writes the wrinkles on aging
brows, but there lingers the
hope that out beyond the dim
unknown there blooms eternal
youth for friends that we have
known.

The first man was an out
law. The next one was a mur
derer. The race got off to such
a start that within 2,000 years
only eight people survived.
The next multiplied thousands
shook the earth under the tread
of armies and tribal hate has
drawn the plowshare of de
struction across the fair earth
throughout the centuries. Pro
phets and preachers, priests
and rabbis have proclaimed the
gospel of goodwill, not unmixed
with arrogance and bigotry.
And what have we?
Look out across the far hori
zons and catch your breath as
your flesh creeps. Unspeak
able horrors of the world’s
greatest war and mountains of
treasure sunk with nothing de
termined; nothing more than
that the “One World” social
philosophy fades to an illusive
dream. EducaM«*n, culture, sci
ence, mysteries opened to the
noonday glare, spiritual refine
ment—and lurking behind it all
is the black lust of a devouring
beast.

She said her age was 83. A
woman doesn’t tell it until it is
something to boast about. And
with utter contempt for our pub
lic school “bellyache,” she said
she had made her living and ac
quired a competency teaching
school when Nebraska teachers
were getting $35 a month. She
had traveled in Europe, seen
about all of America, including
Alaska, had her dashing young
beaux, two husbands and didn’t
want another.
The day’s generation o f
school kids are incorrigible in
her venerable judgment and she
has withdrawn to the sanctuary
of a hotel apartment, admitting
that she has money. The ver
dict of an octogenarian on the
times is always interesting if
not important. The alibi now
is living costs. Looking back
across the span of four score
years the oldtimer will sniff
and say they always had to
pay for what they got.

A rush of the matron to his em

There is no more melancholy

Let us hear the conclusion of
the whole matter: “Fear God
and keep His commandments:
for this is the whole duty of
man. For God shall bring
every work into judgment, with
every secret thing, whether it
be good or whether it be
evil.”—Eccl. 12:13-14.
For good or ill, 400,000 soft
coal miners are subject to the
whim of Mr. Lewis. That he
ordered a six-day period of
“mourring” to be observed by
not working would have been
of more practical value had the
miners continued operations
and turned the earnings for that
period into channels for the
benefit of the families of the

Some of the 130,000,000 citi
zens have been borrowing mon

billion dollars, an all-time peak
for bank loans. And it is re

credit expansion is following
the same pattern as that laid
down following the World War
I before the financial blowup.
Mr. Truman is no slouch as a
