PUERTO RICO'S POWER CONVERSION ... The 10 mi’lion

move to change her principal source of power from steam to
hydroelectric power. This 230-foot high “junior TVA” is

PRAIRIELAND * f
ROMAINE
. . . TALK SAUNDERS
LINCOLN—A banquet March
22 at the Cornhusker ended a
2-day love feast of Nebraska
Republicans, who came in
droves across prairieland from
the Wyoming line. It was a
notable gathering of fine ap
pearing men and women from
McCook, Alliance, Scottsbluff,
Grand Island and other out
state communities that stormed
Lincoln. Among the celebra
ties from other states were
Governor and Mrs. Earl War
ren and the governor’s secre
tary, who found their way
across deserts, mountains and
prairieland from Sacramento.
Calif. The governor’s presence
was in respense to an invita
tion to address Republican pa
triots on Founders’ Day.
The governor explained he
had accepted the invitation
before his name was filed
here to go on the primary
ballot as a candidate for the
nomination for president, and
he was not going to make a
political speech. And the
entire gathering was notable
for a lack of sharp thrusts at
other political groups.
Both the young Republican
and women’s organizations
were in convention previous to
the Founders’ day gathering
and program. Mrs. Addison
B. Green of Holyoke, Mass.,
was the guest speaker for the
ladies organization. Friends of
the various candidates for the
presidency milled about the
Cornhusker lobby and the gen
eral sentiment expressed was
that either of the candidates
to be endorsed at the Phila
delphia convention would re
ceive full support in Nebraska.
Through the courtesy of a
friend I was handed a S3
banquet ticket, so was one
of the multitude that gather
ed at the tables in 2 large
rooms. The capacity of the
Cornhusker t o entertain
crowds was put to the limit.
The youngest to circulate
among the crowd Monday was
little Dan Wherry in knee
pants who came in from Te
cumseh with his grandfather.
The oldest was an 89-year-old
patriot, Frank B. Moore, of
Lincoln, who "button-holed”
you in behalf of Gov. Dewey.
I looked in vain for a familiar
face from O’Neill.

If it were anyone but Prof.
George who had the manage
ment of those armies of juven
ile musicians meeting in O’
Neill they would have my
sympathy. But Mr. George
has a way with young America
that permits him not only to
be at his best among them but
has cordial cooperation be
cause, as'one young lad ex
pressed it-to- me, "He is a great
[ Kuy.” *

Scarcely a week rolls into
the scroll of time that The
Frontier does not record the
story of a pioneer of prairie
land having been visited by
the grim reaper. Two such,
whose early days were identi
fied with the beginning of de
velopments in Holt county,
were given to the readers last
| week.
Mrs. G. Ezra Moor found
rest in death after some
years suffering on a bed of
pain. And so a beautiful life
that had lent a glow to ev
erything worthwhile and up
lifting for more than a half
century not alone in the In
man community but radiated
to wid'-r circles surrendered
to the inevitable.
The community feels the loss
but in the deeper sense the
blow falls on Ezra, to whom I
can only offer the feeble con
solation of one who has gone
through the deep waters and
closed the door on a desolated
home. Out beyond the far
unknown we will await the
summons to join the loved and
lost when things of earth have
iOrevu perished.

Irrigation continues mildly
agitated. Agitation will go on
whether it be in search of
means to produce more, train
ing our boys as soldiers, more
and bigger schools or the rem
edy for juvenile delinquency.
It is not so long ago the cry
of “over-production” was heard
and here came a gent to knock
the meat on the hoof in the
head, plow under the growing
grain, and set fire to that
which had been harvested.
Upon the whole, Nebraska
prairies produce enough year
by year under the ministration
of natural elements, with an
off-year now and then that the
good earth may have one sea
son of rest. Irrigate, but look
out—here comes a government
agent to tell you that you are
creating an over-production.
One such former agent now
comes before us asking for
votes to put him in the White
House.

Thomas E. Dewey is not an
Eastern man. He is a native
of Michigan and has taken
East a sizable slice of the cen
tral states’ honesty, integrity
and administrative ability. He
was born in 1902 and is now at
life’s zenith. He has a liking
for agriculture and has a farm
under the welcoming shadows
of Berkshire hills. In nature’s
mysterious laboratory he has
discovered something of the
orderly processes governing the
unchanging movements of the
universe and drawn lessons to
inspire the soul with the ele
ments of a genius who feels
the pulsebeat of the neighbor
on the next farm or that of
the whole nation. Farmer,
statesman, head erect in the
crowd and bowed in humility
and admiration in the presence
of the handiwork of the Cre
ator when “the evening star
drops low in the heart of the
sunset’s afterglow.” This brings
to the Dewey philosophy of
government the warmth of the
human touch.

Forly-iwo years back in
the affairs of Holt county
patriots the largest private
home in the county was
brought to completion on a
section of land south of
Stuart owned by J. H. Brown,
a pioneer of that commun
ity. The house was 32 feet
square, 3 stories and con
tained 20 rooms.

The board of education, chil
dren and youth, fathers and
roomers in Minneapolis, Minn.,
nave been betrayed by strik
ing school teachers. At the
beginning of the school year,
the teachers accepted the re
sponsibility of keeping the
schools going. In disregard of
this contracted responsibility
two-thirds of the teaching
force is now on strike, closing
the city’s schools to the thous
ands of pupils. It is not only
a bad example for the young
but such disregard of con
tracted agreements reflects dis
credit on an honored profes
sion and partakes of the spirit
of the rowdy.
• * *
Marsh 21 usheres in the ver
nal equinox. Out of the north
blows a March wind, clouds
have gathered across the sky
and out there over the brown
hills of Lancaster may be seen
strips of black earth where the
plowman has started another
season’s round of farm work,
then gone to the house to re
pose in warm idleness for a few
more days. A few more weeks
and the sower will go forth to
sow. Seed time and then har
vest, perpetual as the granite
hills, enduring as the sullen
sea, as certain as the eternal
stars. And without the boun
ties of nature man must per
| ish from the earth.
Spending Sunday at the Ray
Snell home in Page were Mr.
and Mrs. W. W. Waller and
