TALK SAUKE ! - LINCOLN—During the first year , of World War I he came into our plant wearing the uniform of a soldier. He was in the army to “end war and make the world safe for de mocracy’’ As he came to the composing room he stepped up to a case of type and dtd a few lines, a printer still. A quarter of a century later an other young man dressed in the garb of the navy was heading out of town for the high seas and he said to me. “I’m going to do what I can.” He had heard that seductive •'ogan of a greater world war. “Freedom from fear and free dom from want.” The navy sailed the wren seas, the armies marched to the ends of the earth, the heavens were darkened with winged monsters spreading ruin on fair lands and grand cities; mankind had plunged into the world's greatest: baptism of blood, countless millions perishing from off . the earth in indescribable horrors. And why? Monsters were strutting across the land that must be ■ crushed. And so the rallying ci y of “four freedoms” set to 1 throbbing the emotions of pa triotic young America. How the ear delights in the music of a tew words forged into a cathy phrase! Freedom from fear? Freedom uom want? Was there ever greater want throughout the world, was there ever greater fear than grips the hearts of sober, thinking men today? Holt county people are no longer served ginger bread and spiced sauce by the local papers. Listen to this from the Atkinson Graphic of 40 years ago: “The pot-bellied i editor oj The Frontier consid- 1 ers it a great joke thst no del egation of pebple from anoth er town ever got decent treat ment in O’Neill.’’ Then some vituperative * explosions over : supposed slights when Atkin son went to O’Neill for a ball j game. Now listen to The Fron- j tier’s retort: “The above is a sample of the idiotic rot dish ed up by his nibs, the bean- i pole, who warms a chair in the office of the Atkinson Graphic.’’ Then the “bean pole” is written down as a liar, and all his classical epi thets with which he blanketed O’Neill resented in red pepper language. A later generation live in cordial and helpful re lationship, unmindful of the fireworks flaming out of thinr local papers nearly half a cen tury ago. ¥ • • * I haven’t fired a gun at a bird in 40 years, but somehow I find myself entertaining con tempt for game commissions. These officials have become custodians of what nature has provided for every citizen. Clothed with the authority of a vicious law they confiscate property of citizens and assess heavy fintes It was claimed the prohi bition law made outlaws and liars of Americans. Game laws have the same effect. It would be hard to put a finger on anyone in Nebraska who pretends to hunt who doesn't knock over some game "unlawfully.” It was so on Krairieland where 1 had a ome for years. It was not un common to go to a sandhills lake and get half a boat load of bluegills without a state li cense to fish. But once a bu reau or commission is created there is no chance to get it off the payroll • * • A “nice couple" escorted a young blind woman to hei door, grabbed her handbag, took the $18 it contained and made their get-away. Pretty lowdown stuff. But tion t lose faith in the race. The same day in the same Nebraska city carpenters went to the crowd ed basement home of a couple, the man being confined to bed an invalid, and built a room onto their abode. The wives of these carpenters brought in a dinner. From his pillow the afflicted man turned his head and said to his helpful visit ors, “I have a pretty good idea what the word neighbor means." Seen on the streets dur ing November: Young men with an arm in a slinq or on crutches. This is foot ball season. • • • School teachers are said to be among the low income pa triots of Nebraska. The estate of a former Lincoln teacher is listed as personal property to the value of $37,836. How many hard working girls in other lines will accumulate that much above ample allot ments of life’s niceties along the way? • • • The country’s greatest thor oughbred, Man O’War, is dead, death being attributed to a heart attack. So heart disease has its victims in the brute creation. But maybe Pat O’ Neill, the barn custodian of Faraway farms in Kentucky where Man O’War died, would resent my reference to the great race horse as a brute. Refusal to declare your self on the communism issue may be tantamount to say ing you are a red. ♦ • * Thanks, J. S. K*. for correct ing me as to where the judi tyal proceedings were finally held that acquitted the slayer of Sheriff Barney Kearns. A booted gent serving on a fron tier jury would not vote to convict anybody, maybe on the theorv that he would be the next to face the judge and jury. Poor Billy, poor Barney —the bones of the one lie in a nameless grave, those of the other have had the care that devoted relatives can give. And what a tragedy to have been inspired by barbarous notions of funi There were some meatless tables in O'Neill 45 years ago. One of the town’s meat deal ers was said to be buying cat tle for slaughter that had lumpjaw. It made something of a stir and the city council met and whereased and re solved and hung up a reward of $50 for evidence that would convicl the butcher under suspicion. Some weeks later* the meat merchant was brought into county court, where he entered a plea of guilty and was fined $50 and costs, total $100. Beef eaters i reported no ill effects. "Neb."—the preference of the many as the abbrevia tion of the stale name. ( Not all are aware that "neb” without the period means bird's nest. • * • To become a member of the , Russian reds you must first be injected with a knock-out dose of atheism. War is openly de clared on God, church organ izations, religions and super stitions. In cutting loose from the world’s faith, young Rus sia anchors its faith in anoth er god in the person of a squat figure with a prominent mustache and dark eyes look ing out from under heavy brows. In so doing the wor ship of Diety is denounced in favor of an ideology idolatry. GIRL SCOUT MEWS TDOOP I By Marilyn Beha Troop I met November 5 with Mrs. W. J. Beha, who is our new leader.

Mrs. Earl Watson accompanied them as far as Norfolk where she visited in the home of her sister, Mr. and Mrs- Stuart Har tigan, returning Saturday after noon. Customer Support Helps the Tavern Owner i 1 Most customers of Nebraska taverns have learned NOT to ask the tavern operator to break the laws of the state or the rules of good conduct. Customers now realize that law-breaking jeopardizes the tavernman’s business reputa tion which, in turn, reflects unfavorably on the whole brewing industry. When you as a citizen over hear a customer asking the tavernman to do something contrary to law or the tenets of good society, just remind the customer that it is to his best interest to help keep the retailing of beer on as high a plane as that of any other legal commodity. Such cooperation on the part of the public will help this Committee promote the main tenance of wholesome condi tions surrounding the sale of beer in Nebraska.
