LINCOLN — The name Tho
mas E. Dewey on the Republi
can primary ballot for presi
dent is heard in every house
hold.
Whatever advantage there is
the second time up goes to the
New York governor. The re
commendation that appeals to
Nebraska citizens is the Dewey
record of achievements in that
great and densely populated
state of New York.
As a private citizen, as a
public official, there is none
- in the American picture to
— day that enjoys the confi
dence and esteem of all clas
ses of worthwhile citizens
or that has inspired the fear
of political grafters and un
derworld bigwigs more than
Governor Dewey.
If nominated and elected to
the presidency, he will cloth
the chief executive branch of
government in the vestments
of efficiency at a time never
more needed.
• * *
At 48th and Pioneers, mean
ing on the outskirts of Lincoln
and facing open country, it
» happened. Formerly only in
the event of fatal tradgedy
was a run-away horse worth
mentioning.
Most communities have one
or more characters who cling
to customs and traditions of
the Ozark hills. From some
where about the outer fringe
of town came a gent aboard
a 2-wheeled carl drawn by
a sprightly bay gelding.
At the intersection, the horse
had a notion, as horses some
times do, shied, bumped a
“ wheel against a post and spill
ed the driver on the concrete
pavement, took to the open
road to the right on a wild
race draging cart and loose
lines streaming in midair. The
driver sustained a few minor
injuries.
• • •
Nebraska voters may have
■ the question of a 65 million
” dollar bonus for service men of
the late war to vote “for” or
“against” in November. A
proposition is up to issue 5-year
bonds to raise the cash for this
purpose. Some states have set
the example by issuing bonds
to run 10 years. The cost of
war continues for years after
the firing ceases.
• * •
Nine billion dollars has ac
cumulated from labor and
industry contributions, 1 Va
billions get aside to pay social
security benefits, the govern
ment treasury managers hav
ing "borrowed” the other 7 Vi
billion.
• * •
Three heros, representative
■ of 3 religious groups, stood on
the deck of the doomed Dor
chester, linked together hand
in hand, and went down with
the ship in the cold waters of
.. the North Atlantic ocean in
" 1343. A new issue of postage
stamps commorating their he
roism is authorized. A postal
official says this will contri
bute to tolerance and peace.
Such is devoutly to be wished.
I wonder if that stamp bear
ing the likness of a great Negro
had any proper effect below the
Mason and Dixon line.
•' * * *
Jobless, penniless and a
.. physical wreck a poor fellow
that once earned $1,500 a
week out there in California
.. where you don’t have to have
I either brains or morals to
| d aw big money is asking his
•* ! estranged wife to come across
" with $525 a month for hi
maintenance. Maybe he has it
coming, but why should a gen*
find himself penniless when
„ i not so long ago he garnered
$1,500 every week?
• * *
An outraged bovine near an
! n i nu town gored the auto
mobile of Jack Crawford, the
artificial inseminator of the
community, when he came a
round to take over the • job
nature had alloted to the
thoroughly competent bull.
* • *
The latest story about the
. third party candidate for pres
ent is that he is pagan. Could
he be the onlv one among pu
litical bigwigs?
O'Neill hat had some grand
political shows. And now
for the first time there has
just been entertained the
first candidate out campaign
ing for that coveted prize:
the social eminence of being
America's first lady.

Little things that can be
held in the hollow of the hand!
A Japanese wife and mother
who had lived in Korea and
accepted the Christian faith
tells it in her own words:
“I gaze at little things in the
hollow of the hand—white and
brown silk thread, 3 safety
pins, 3 needles. These little
things make me happy more
than ear-rings set with pearls
or finger rings with rubies . •
Hateful war had happened and
Japan was defeated. We re
turned to the mother land with
bare life. Took a little child
by the hand, carried on my
back an infant with few
clothes at hand, but in our
mother land minds of people
also had been defeated. There
blew only the cold winds of
hearts. Such was. our poverty
that even daily necessities
were counted among our
wants.”
After visiting the mission
aries in Tokyo she had this
to say:
“I wept tears of joy for en
couragement and hope of faith
made new my heart. I was'
given clothes which were sent
by friends of same faith m
America far away. My hus
band got a new coat. I re
turned home overwhelmed
with gratitude. I dressed my
children and delighted them.
As the coat for my husband
was too large I gazed at it
with wish to make it smaller.
Suddenly I found in a pocket
sewing thread. Why should it
have sewing thread? I opened
it dubiously. White and brown
silk thread, 3 safety pins, 3
needles were found. Oh, my
friend in America who sent
this coat! I think I can see
your smiling face when I am
gazing at these things in the
hollow of my hand. You speak
to me: ‘I send you the coat;
you can mend it with the
thread and needles when it is
rent.’
"These little things in a
pocket of a coat are shining
as if it were a symbol of
your heart. I am happy. I
am happy to get your whole
heart enclosed with these
things, better than to get
several coats.
“Friends in far America, I
wish to present my hearty
thanks to the sky in far Amer
ica, gazing at these little
things in the hollow of my
hand!”
• • •
A speaker from aboard, ad
dressing a large group of stu
dents, said the next war will
last 30 minutes. One of our
state’s congressmen was out
here and told us the U. S
fleet was in the Mediterranean
with cargos of atom bombs
diitug, complacent, the Capital
City jogs uiong and refuses to
take alarm at hair-raising
threats. If a grease spot is
made of us Earth dwellers in
30 minutes that will probaba
be a fitting climax to our hu
man monkeyshines.
A printer who learned the
tra-e in u'ffeijl (and who af
ter 5 ve’rs apprenticeship
was paid $2 for a 10-hour
day that at least once a week
stretched to 15 hours) tells
me he is now getting $18.50
for a 7-hour day on a job in
Seattle. Wash. And he is
about 78-years old, still go
ing strong, nearing 4 score
years and earning $92.50 for
a 5-day week. Who says we
are worthless in industry af
ter 40?
• • •
I wonder if the congress who
let out some information on
the international situation at
the Founders’ Day banquet
doesn’t know more about what
is going on abroad — and is
not afraid to tell us — than
his self-appointed critics sitting
out here on the prairie.
