TALK By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—A call is made in The Frontier for a meet ing of the O’Neill Gun Club. I do not know what this club has adopted for a weapon but suspect it is the shot gun for use in drawing bead on clay pigeons. A gun club is not a new thing for the community, though its personnel has undergone changes. A few are left in and around the new O'Neill whose memo ries stretch across the years and will recall such sturdy daredevils as Ed Hershiser, Gus Hanlon, George Mer ret, A. H. Blinco and Walt Rathborn, who probably never perfected a formal organisation but held oc casional "shoots" with Win chesters that threw a .45 slug at a bobbing turkey head 40 rods distant. There were no buildings along the street where the Legion hall now stands and the open prairie was the shooting grounds. Winchest ers, with a six at the hip, were the favorite of that pe riod when there was deer and antelope hunting under no official restrictions. And the recoil of those large calibre guns would just about knock you over I In one way, Harold Stassen and Henry Wallace are alike. Both are too anxious to adorn the top of the 1948 ballot with their name. I preserved a letter Mr. Stassen mailed me from San Francisco, Calif., which impressed me that the gentleman is not the calibre for the harsh business of heading up the nation. He has come to Nebraska and laid upon an Hastings gentle man the mantle of state manager of his campaign. Republicans then have the insurance that there will be a Stassen for president or ganization in Nebraska. May be I was a bit unfair to ask Mr. Stassen some things to which he replied with one of those diplomatic beauties that say nothing. * • • A former FBI agent re commends dealing kindly with gents who are under criminal suspicion, rather than the hard boiled meth ods of the police. Police deal with a class of citizens that do not inspire the gen tle touch. He is fat, good natured, in | curably lazy, 'but endowed with a bit of the dramatics. “This thing has got to stop,” he protested as he saw the Mrs. coming up the base ment steps with a heavy scuttle of coal. “I have watch ed you carrying that b i g heavy hod of coal up these steps day after day and it ain't gonna happen no more. Get yourself a little pail and make two trips.” * * * The cost of assessing the county in 1904 was some thing over $1,200 in ex cess of the previous year, and was made an issue in the ceaseless dogfight be tween political factions. Bill Cooper, a populist, was the county’s first assessor and functioned that year, appointing the precinct as sessors. Twelve hundred dollars is less than chick en feed today, but it had a bearing on the political turn of things at one time in the county. Through manipulations at the state house it looks like there will be a merry time {Jet ting in the assessment this year. * * * A St. Edward' matron has shown the male clod hoppers how to grow corn and, inci dentally, demonstrated that the ladies achieve in other lines beside mixing biscuit and concocting salads. Mrs. Choat’s 10-acre field of corn yielded 128 bushels per acre. I talked to a young farmer last evening who had just finished husking. He said his crop yielded 15 bushels per acre. * * * Grover Cleveland admitted to a paternal charge and shocked Washington society by conveying his dinner to his mouth with a knife and pou. ing his tea into the sau ser. Harding bore the stigma of Teapot Dome and Hoover the depression. Now comes a GI with the charge that FDR was the worst of all the pres idents. The White House job is not all glory be. * * • It is said to have occurred at Pocatella, Ida. A lady cal led her neighbor by telephone to inform her that her dog was at the home of the lady calling. From the other end of the line came the request to put the receiver to the dog’s ear. “Ted, you come right home,” was the order from the dog’s mistress and Ted scampered home. I don’t know what a state reclamation commission has to do other than get togeth er in an annual gathering, have a banquet feed, listen to spellbinders and elect of ficers. My acquaintenct with the state of more than 60 years has disclosed nothing to reclaim unless it is to al low about half of the culti vated fields to revert to the original fer tile grazing grounds. * * * , At the side of the entrance to the gray structure where Adolph Hitler made his last stand is a depression in the bare earth where lie the re mains of the man or demon who set Europe on fire.
