The honorable legislative body under the capitol dome in Washington is “dumb," ac cording to a signed editorial by this McCook gent. Dumb because the congress hasn’t given them out at McCook a few million dollars to keep the towns down that way from floating down the Republican river. If citizens lay out their towns and homes where dan ger always threatens that is their risk. It is like the indi vidual knowingly walking in to the quicksands and then calling for help. The flood threatenings out in Red Willow are prope ly not a concern of the United States treasury. It is for the townships, counties~or state to take in hand. The O’Neill com munity was endangered at times from the flooded Elk horn. And then citizens like Col. Brennan, John McCaffe - ty and many others, who be lieved in action, perhaps too "dumb” to ask congiess to do it, pulled off their coats, left their business, and fixed things by straightening the channel and there has been no flood damage since. Tearing, raving, roaring for federal appropriations. Have Nebraskans lost the ability to do things without a raid on public funds? Dumb—who’s dumb? • * * That big idea that would reach out and embrace the earth in one universal lan guage and government comes not from the mass of humani ty, but from a few ambitious gents who would like to sit on the pinacle and tell the mul titudes what to do. Patriotic loyalty, devotion, love en compass first of all home, home town, home precinct, home neighborhood, home county, home state, home na tion. and beyond its borders friendly but not familiar, con cerned over sovereignty a broad only as that may effect the interests of our country. Even most of the big town dwellers will agree with the gentleman from Iowa State college that; farm communities with the right kind of a small town easy of access offers the best in American living condi tions. “Into the open gate of the twentieth century, hand in hand, shall stride our king of commerce and the queen of in dustry, the sphinx - eyed sci entist and his bride of art, the study son of agriculture and the dreaming child of song, and their thought and toil and song shall glorify the human race and make our country great — essentially, magnificently, exquisitely great.” This from a pen dipped in distilled odor of roses by the magnetic Robert G. Cousins as he looked through the “open gate of the twentieth century” with many oher prophets and dreamers. Nearly half of the twentieth century has run its course. Does the world picture di close a glorified race, and are we great only in that de lusive spell of scientific per formance which enables us to lick all comers. Falls City reports another kind of a flood, 31 cans of cream emptied on the pave ment in a collision. . . . June 27 and still planting corn. . . . Seward county reports a 1946 tax collection of 82%, covering all taxable property. ... All bridges out on the South Fork? What's traffic doing 13 miles south of O’Neill, or is it some other "South Fork" on the low er Elkhorn? .. President Green refused to be stampeded into ordering a genei al strike of AFL members in protest over the Taft-Hartley labor law. . . . McCook celebrates the 4th with its 13th annual horse show — meaning show horses rather than utility nags. . . . Seven newspaper columns of "Homes for Sale" and three inches of newspaper space to record actual sales, some of which are the make - believe one-dollar transactions. • * • I do not know who is re sponsible for this, but that is immaterial. The lights had gone out on the bus: the tall man asked a lady if he could help her find a strap. ‘Tve already found one,” she said. “Then would you mind letting go of my necktie?” • * • The gent who said he want ed to die when he could find nobody to laugh with him probably meant laugh at him. * * * The high school class motto is about ns important as a New Year resolution.

GRIFFVN, Attorney O’Neill Probably not very many know anything about the pro visions of the labor law pass ed by congress over the pres ident’s veto but upon general principles the majority of cit izens favored this action by congress because of some high handed methods by organized labor in late years. The charge that Mr. Truman was playing into the hands of unionism can only be taken for what it is worth. • • ♦ India has had enough of England and England has had enough of famine pestered In dia. In the meantime it will be interesting to watch now a people whose creed harbors the notion that uocn dea4h n.f dad he may come again crawl ing as a bug or bawling as a cow make out politically. The rain is over. Through my open door comfes the fresh breath of June cooled after the heat of day by the late show er. Out beyond the paved street the green plumes form a mass of waving tree tops. White clouds that had floated high in the celestial blue are gathering in horizontal lines along the horizon. And there has gathered that which will come out of natuse’s mysteri ous laboratory—50-million volt flashes of lightning, crashing thunder and another down pour. But for the minute the distant landscape shows its regal green under the glow of grateful sunshine. • ♦ * It is not quite clear what the design in either the Brit ish or American zones in Ger many may be, but there is no haziness respecting the designs in the Russian quarter. Another bill has been intro duced in congress to mitigate the wo ries of harassed citi zens by trimming the income tax. Should it survive both house and senate it can hardly be expected to run the gaunt let of the White House suc cessfully. Sentiment on prai rieland is about four to one in favor of cuting down taxes all along the line. Something to this end has been accomplish ed by congress through the medium of appropriations, in curring the wrath of those who have open palms out for “fed eral aid.” * * * A Roosevelt has been heard from again. Elliott drew a $50 fine for speeding in a New York state town. You just can’t keep them -down. ♦ * * What has become of rural electrification in Holt county? i The Friendly Store picnic needs Fiber Plates Waterproof, 9-in. size for picnic or party. 15c Doz.
