LINCOLN — Women who
pioneered on Holt county prair
leland , wtith their men had
courage. So have the women
of a later generation, courage
of a different sort. They no
longer need to align the sights
of a Winchester or brave the
perils of frontier life, or act
the part of ministering angel
to some helpless tenderfoot
whom the wilderness had well
nigh overwhelmed.
It was early Spring in the
year 1875. Mrs. John O'Con
nell held aside the flap of
her tent and stepped out in
to the open. The tent was
a white dot in the vast wil
derness of the upper Elk
horn where the good town
of Atkinson now takes care
of the needs of a thrifty com
munity.
Two starved, footsore, un
shaven and disheavelcd men
came stumbling crawling out
of the northwest toward that
tent. And Mrs. O’Connell, a
lone at the time. John having
gone down the valley for sup
plies, watched the painful and
uncertain approach of these
strange figures. She had given
food to a party of Indians the
day before and ordered them
to clear out. The Indian paid
little heed to what this squaw
might say, so she said nothing
but he had wholesome respect
for a plucky white woman. So
do most men.
Her visitors this day were
two disillusioned gold seekers
who had come from the Black
Hills country, a restricted dis
trict under military rule. Gold
seekers got in there at the
risk of their wagons, horses
and other possessions being
taken from them and being
sent to military prison for a
short time. But gold seekers
take risks. The 2 men, whose
names have been lost in the
fogs of the past, had walked
and crawled the entire dis
tance from the Black Hills to
this lonely camp on the Elk
horn.
Mrs. O'Connell put hot cof
fee into them at the start
and little by little revived
them with substantial food.
In recounting their experi
ence to the pioneer woman,
they said they were at the
point of dropping to earth
and give up thought of sur
23 TONS OF BIBLES FOR DISTRIBUTION
. . . How does the Gideon International asso
ciation, manage to get Bibles in all the hotel
rooms of the nation? It’s a big job, and one
that sometimes gives rise to spectacular
scenes such as this which was arranged in
Miami Beach. A gigantic cross composed of
hundreds of Bibles was erected in front of
the North Shore hotel in Miami.Beach where
the Gideon International association held its
annual convention this spring. Total weight
of the great stack of Bibles was 23 tons,
h'he volumes were distributed in hotel rooms
throughout Miami and Miami Beach.
viving when a white speck
in the distance arrested their
attention and revived hope.
Under this inspiration, they
pushed on.
After a few days in camp
the men moved on down the
valley, and some years later ;
the O’Connells heard from one
of them who had given up the r
idea of prospecting for gold
and had become a resident
of Grand Island.

Nevada, Alaska, Hawaii — j
in the scope of Uncle Sam’s j
possessions — are said to be I
the most promising fields for
the young lady who would be
pleased to hear the wedding
bells. Or maybe still greater
opportunities in this respect in
the Far East where unattached
men from America are plenti
ful. And the government is in
need of 5 thousand young wo
men right now for jobs in Ja
pan, the Philippines, and other
far eastern outposts at salaries
ranging from $2,700 to $10,000
a year with travel expenses
and inexpensive living. That a
husband will be thrown in to
boot is not exactly promised
but chances along that line are
hinted.

As of the date of this writ
ing, the rampage of Nebraska
university students has resul
ted in the forming of a com
mittee of highbrows to make
an “investigation” of the park
ing situation at Nebraska’s
classic halls of learning and
football acheivements.

“Against the background of
blue May sky and the soaring
capitol tower” began the story
of a Lincoln reporter to his
paper to inform the town pa
triots that 350 matrons had
taken the pledge of reaffirmed
loyalty to the country, one of
the features of this freedom
week. Yes, the May sky was
the usual blue, but we are
wondering whether the “soar
ing capitol tower” was an ex
pression inspired by exurbent
patriotic thrill or the newspap
er compatriot had taken on
something which put the capi
tol tower in a whirl.

The official count of the
Republican primary vote
gives Mr. Stassen 80,979;
there were cast for the other
6 republican candidates a to
tal of 98,111 ballots. Gov.
Dewey receiving 64,242 of
these and carried 7 counties.

According to Mr. Truman,
there are government records
which are sacred to a chosen
few and says he will veto any
measure congress passes which
would bring these records in
to the open. The congress is
the peoples’ representative and
enacts all laws. But the idea
has been growing among cab
inet officers and heads of
burets that they can make
laws independent of the con
gress.

When workmen drop the
tools and walk out on strike
they have quit the job. If
personal liberty means any- !
thing it means that other
men who want work can take
over. And they do so under
the unionized stigma of
"scab" or "rat." Great indus
tries could settle strikes by
saying "all right boys, we
are locking the doors and
going fishing. When you are
ready to go to work let us
know and we will open up."

Senator Wherry, something
of the so-called isolationist
himself, led the procession in
the late lamented primary in
a number of counties, Holtf
one such. And in the light of
the senator’s vote in the state
the claims of the one-world
dreamers that Nebraska has
gone all out against isolation
look pretty silly.
