LINCOLN—An issue of Mr.
Green’s American Federation
ist, forged and fashioned at the
AFL building in Washington,
D. D., is enlightening. Union
big shots, singly and in groups,
strut across its pages in por
trait and reading matter.
Maybe as a sort of face-sav
inq gesture thfe picture of a
grizzled old patriot who un
mistakably is an honest-to
goodness man of labor, is
given a spot by himself re
moved from the groups of
tailored and groomed bosses
of the big AFL.
It also reveals the existence
of a setup called political ed
ucation, which means another
dollar is to be extracted from
each union member to defeat
the members of congress who
supported the Taft - Hartley
measure.
When it comes to voting, it
has been demonstrated that
union bosses can't tell any in
telligent American how to
vote.

Those whose private affairs
have found themselves involv
ed in dealings with bureaus,
commissions, supervisors o r
other supernumeraries have
made the discovery that what
is needed in the federal agen
cies is efficiency, something of
the snap and promptness that
contributes to the survival of
private enterprise, and less of
the legal, often senseless, verb
age. Gov. Peterson has inject
ed into the service at the state
house elements of efficiency in
which some of the federal
agencies are sorely lacking.

Maybe Joe Martin's minor
vote role in the recent pri
mary was because Nebras
kans are not favoring a
bachelor in the While House.
A mid-April blizzard in 1873
is recalled by state historians.
It was a rare visitation, but
hardy folks that had come to
prairieland wrere not to give
up because of a Spring snow
storm. And such storms have
struck later than mid-April.
In 1914 I was identified with
the free if not easy life of a
rancher out on the grass lands
On May 1 of that year we had
a blizzard. The A-T people, a
few miles below my holdings,
lost a sizeable bunch of beeves
in that storm, but we smaller
fry escaped without loss. The
A-T controlled a 30-mile
stretch of country with large
herds and the May day bliz
zard didn’t break them.

Officials of the govern
ment labor department an
nounced a shortage in the
labor market. The same day
it was announced from a
central state town that 1,800
men were being laid off.

What do the haughty voters
want in a president—a 6-foot
political rain-maker who prom
ises all a private El Dorado;
will eliminate taxes and
drought, fill your barns and
basements, satisfy the AFL and
CIO boys, build school houses
and roads, pay the public debt
and balance the budget, bring
order out of world chaos and
usher in the millenium? What
ever family is to grace the
White House the next 4 years,
they will not come from west
of the Mississippi. And the
‘‘head of the house” will make
no promises nor hold out an
alluring program. Who is big
enough for the hard job?

Admitting he was once op
posed to votes for women, a
Nebraska editor now says:
“They are more qualified than
men, better politicians, more
inclined to be practical in their
voting as they are more exper
ienced, not moved by trivial
matters and better able to jud
ge qualifications.” Nice way
to hand a compliment to the
ladies, while the men enjoy
the emoluments of office.
