LINCOLN — Whether seg
ments of the corona of our
«un, blistering balls strayed
from some distant cele t al
furnace like Sirius, fragments
shaken from the tail of a
wandering comet, some wing
ed-wonders of men or specters
of the night, Netraskans h ye
b'en seeing firey objects in
vading the heavens. At any
r; te. look out tonight on the
brilliant constellations above
i' you prize a show which de
mands no admission price.
F’fty centuries back across
the sweep of time Chaldean
and Hebrew shepherds gazed
on the same bright groups.
Abraham was asked to “Look
now toward Heaven and tell
the stars if thou be able to
number them.” A’cturus and
bic guns shone above Judean
hi’ls and though moving 100
miles a second five thnu°"r,d
years finds this star less than
one inch from the spot where
the Chaldein patrLch beheld
it as a plowing om^er as no ”
shown in telescopic views of
the vast unknown. The s^ep
h"rd astronomers on the
plains of Shinar vainly sought
to grasp the mysteries of that
vast unkown and astronomers
centu’ies later contim'e the
search with powerful te’e
coones. But anv clear ni«ht
out on prairielaed the cel s

trigue professional star gazers
out there on Mt Wilson and
impart admiration and a sense
of reverent humility to tho-e
unversed in the science of as

Citizens of L'nc^'n ex r s
ed their sympathy for th"’
Cambridge Hood victims with
a registered package contain
ing $11,421. . . . The state
treasurer paid out $79,830,197
d"rinfj the 194*-’47 biennium,
not including expenditures fo
fh° of June, and added
to this sum the county, e't *.
village, township and school
expenses Nebraska taxpayers
have probably doled out more
than 100 million dollars diving
the two vear period. . . Th°re
is a gent over there behind
the grev prison walls that
gives the autho ities much
worry. He is neither a cell
breaker rabble rouser nor
leader of mutiny: be has law
books and a typewriter over
which the b >ard of control,
the warden and his deputy’,
the attorney general and as
sistant have be m involved n
federal court proceedings.
Hawk is uo for life for mur

tion has been reinstated on
the Lincoln city hall lawn—

brought out of storage and
are now daily occupied by the
sup^ranuated pa*r:ots who

world problems. Every town

benches.

Tt is said there are some 13
million boys and girls in
America’s rural schools that
do not have adequate equip
ment. Just what is meant by
"adequate equipment” is not
explained, but mayb? the la^k
of it is going to give us 13
million boys and gi Is better
educated for life’s exacting
demands.
They call it universal train
ing, less fearsome than that
frightening woid ‘‘conurp
tion.” Pres. T uman is for it
and congress seems favorable.
Call it what you like, con
scription of young America in
peace or in war is on the
way. Every lad at the age of
18 goes into military uniform
and training. Old world stuff.
When America becomes an
other armed camp in a world
of strutting armies and navies
the powder keg is due to
blow up if not sooner. Amer
ican boys have made gocd
soldiers not because of the
training at the hands of pro
fessionals, but because they
have the heritage of the Dan
iel Boones and Sam Houstons

Employers have caught
the r breath. A a n he’s t1 e
boss and reasserts the pre
rogative of the gent responsi

are a vet ran don’t tell him
until he asks for it. A couple
of bright college boys that I
know of want a f.rm job —
. no, not the job but the $125
per month they think they
are worth to giace a place at
the ample dinner table out on
the farm.

Are you one of the 49 mil
lion patriots that the income
tax collector will take four
billion dollars less aft.r Janu
ary 1, or has the income
shrunk to an extent that you
will be eliminated as a poten

But here come the miners to
take what your Uncle Sam
leaves. Twelve something a
day for coal diggers means in
creased cost in keeping the
home fires burning.

The hollyhocks are in bloom
and stand sedately adorned in
gay colors amid the green of
a luxuriant summer foliage.
Excessive rains wrought some
ruin but compensates with a
load of floral beauty hung
upon the rich green.

Cheering word comes from
James C. Petrillo, czar of or

The secretary general of the
United Nations is a Mr. Lie.
it is to be hoped that the
name has no significance.
Toothbrush size bristling as
a mustache, heavy brow form
ing an awning over dark eyes,
he had come to Lincoln to ad
dress graduates concerning the
“Path to Peace.” but looked
more the fighter than the
peacemaker. A babble of
tongues is heard throughout
the land but maybe the best
way to remain at peace with
the other fellow is to keep
your mouth shut.

The world, before the re
cent slaughter, had one billion
six hundred and ten million
of the genus homo strutting
over the globe. Of this num
ber, 34.2 percent were classed
as Christians while Jews, Bra
hmanes, Buddhists, Moham
medans, and heathen made up
the other 65.8 percent. Mis
siona ies will have to get busy
if the picture is to be changed.

It could hardly be expected
from one of their group, but
a Lyons woman comes for
ward to discount the worth
of the women’s organizations
and clubs. It is her consid
erate judgement that these
tend to destroy individual
thinking, a sort of group snap
shot at life or communistic
thinking.

A few of the flat, stale and
unprofitable standbys of the
