LINCOLN — A three-cor
nered row is on again over at
the penitentiary. The attor
ney general, tne board of con
trol and the warden of the
pen have exchanged some caus
t i c charges and “explana
tions.” Two of the three mem
bers of the boaid of control
with the warden show no dis
position to either investigate
or remedy evils charged by
the attorney general.
Whether his charges are
true or imaginary Nebraska
citizens can t approve of the
penitentiary officals assum
ing a dictorial and arrogant
altitude in matters of this
kind. The new warden is
an Army man and maybe
military ways don't work so
well with a group of con
victs, who seem to get the
idea now that they as wards
of the stale should be cod
dled, cultured and entertain
ed. It is staled the guards
support the warden. Nat
urally — he gives them
their job.

The opening day of the state
fair drew an old time crowd
that milled around in the heat
and dirt and sweat. Succeed
ing days brought out fewer
excitement hunters. As fairs
go, this year's show was about
up to par with those of pre
vious years. Doing a state
fair is a hot, tiresome jot and
among the 70 thousand mob
you don’t know a soul. You
can go down to Chambers
and see an interesting exhibi
tion and have the added plea
sure of visiting with friends
and neighbors you have known
all your life. But it presents
in contrast what “we the peo
ple” are interested in. In a
city of a hundred thousand
only about a thousand showed
up on the statehouse steps to
witness the unveiling of the
Bryan statue.
I encounter occasionally
an old iipier who for ^reasons
I have not asked is depen
dent on that thing they call
assistance and lives in small
rented quarters. I saw one
the other day hunting a spot
as he had to get out to
make room for students or a
GI. Others are having to
vacate and find shelter
where they can. Coming to
the end of the trail pennl'ess
and friendless is the topnot
ch of hard luck, and nu ybe
this fast-moving generj tion
feels the old age assistance
should be replaced with
chloroform.

Four boys from Abyssinia
and black as midnight are in
j Lincoln to take on some Amer

! Union college, one of the capi

One of the four from East Af

guages. May be. like the
swamp Yankee, he has come
to Nebraska to learr “how to

It is reported from the
statehouse that the general
fund was enriched during
August by 341 thousand dol
lars in cigaret tax and 249
thousand dollars in liquor tax.
Such a monthly rakeoff in
favor of the tax collector will
insure Nebraska patriots both
their firebrand and fire water
as a matter of public policy.

If you live on a star mail
route 25 miles from a post
office you have better mail
delivery than those dwelling
elcng a swank boulevard in
the city. The gray-clad mail
carrier of the concrete streets
observes the numerous annual
holidays that have found a
place in the calendar, while
his counterpart out in the open
spaces traveling the star routes
never lets up for a holiday.
And in addition to the holi
days, most city workers get
two weeks "vacation with
pay."

President Green of the AFL
lets it be understood that or
ganized labor will not fight
back with strikes but will
show its resentment of labor
laws in the 1948 election. If
organized labor wishes to
match its strength against the
whole country at the polls it
may be accomodated.

Where did those scientists

The gray-haired partisans of
the “Boy Orator of the Platte”
will continue to be partisans;
let them cherish the fond de
lusions. Those of this later
generation who pass along K
street from 16th to 14th will
take a squint at that magni
ficent figure dominating the
approach to the state house
and ask, “Who was that guy?”

Some Lincoln tailo. Lag shops
have been given cc atracts to
rip the black-and-w site bind
ing braid from thousands of j
soldiers’ caps and rebind with
black braid. As war is a black
business the bf t of white on
the caps is bein j removed. The
contract price seems to war
rant subletting the ripping for
five cents a cap. Thus you
you can sit in the basement
and make $6 a day.

“Home On the Range” has
assumed the status of a clas
sic among American songs. The
ouffalo don’t roam, the deer
and antelope don’t play tp
any extent down in Kansas,
but that state has adopted
this little ballad as the state
song. It was written back in
the 1870s by a Kansas coun
try doctor. Whatever his ac
complishments may have been
in medicine, if any, he left
as a musical heritage the most
popular nothing in song since
Joseph Rodman Drake “tore
