^^n-there wiit no presidential election in the United
r“«-«.——
A year ago now v, „ • within the memory of the
*nd strenuous Po >^c esident and vice-president and other im
present generation. ) , t d and the nation was in a tur
portant officers were to be elected a the country,
Enl Special tn»na werej:—^up ^ ^ every
^eeches were being was a burst of eloquence from the
hme ^/“‘"the^wspapers were filled with poUtical news and
rear platform the newspap constantly day-and-night over
pictures, rival c»ndldatJ’ ‘ m«^etings and conventions and spec
ie radio, there were palltu» places which were viewed
tacular paradfTthe only sort of a political
by thousands. As far as wek . ^ ^ M fashioned torch
icmonstrauon which waM . ;« e becn a lew of those which
Bght procession and there ters Hcvwever, the torch
«ca,„d the ?rSS^C h^r«o"rbe1on8ed to the
light procession isn t seen muui
horse and buggy era.
Ml in all it was a great political campaign which was held
in thi United States in the year 1948 and excitement ran high
.L, with three presidential candidates and a host
o7oTh«s b^ng Tor v^r interest in the outcome increased
trom day-to-day and the issues were discussed in every home,
in every store and oftice and on every street corner from early
Spring until late Fall.
Finally, the campaign came to a smashing climax on election
gay in bleak November when the voters of the United States
inarched to the polls and registered their verdict.
One of the hottest political fights in history came to an end
with a landslide and an avalanche of votes and, then, suddenly, the
people of Nebraska woke up one morning to behold an avalanche
•f snow.
Luckily, the special presidential trains had stopped running
or they would have been stalled in 10-foot drifts, but there was
plenty of other excitement, hardship and catastrophe in this snow
bound area. Many trains were stalled, cattle perished by the
thousands, homes and even towns were isolated and human beings
suffered from cold and hunger.
It was a dark and tragic chapter in the history of O’Neill,
Nebraska and the entire Midwest, but even that came to an end
•t last. The weeks and months slowly passed, the cold abated, the
snow melted, the sun came out, the birds began to sing, flowers
bloomed again and glorious Spring arrived, followed by warm
and mellow Summer days. The record-breaking political campaign
of 1948 was over and so was the equally record-breaking Winter
of 1948 and 1949.
It is now late Summer and there are some signs of approach
ing Fall, but what The Frontier would like to suggest is that the
year 1949 is packed full of events which are quite as important
and interesting in their way as the historic political campaign of
1948. Some of them are past and some of them are yet to occur,
but they are all of great importance and interest, especially to
the citizens of O’Neill and Holt county.
Obviously, 1949 will be remembered as the Diamond Jubilee
year. The anniversary of the founding of the town got a tremen
dous send-off in the publication of The Frontier's mammoth
special edition, which was read and acclaimed by people from
coast-to-coasl. The edition was published within a few weeks of
the exact anniversary of the artival of Gen. John C. O'Neill's
first colony.
Even now, several months later, The Frostier continues to
receive requests for the edition. We took pains to order a large
enough press run to accommodate these requests for some weeks to
come.
Now, after some procrastination and hesitancy on the part of
civic groups, Simonson post 93 of the American Legion is reviving
the celebration in earnest. The Jubilee theme will be in connection
with a big parade.
Then, in addition to the Legion-sponsored celebration that is
coming up, we should not forget to mention the Fourth of July
festivities, the thrilling baseball games, Hay Days, Holt county
fan (which is in progress this week), Tri-County fair, rodeos,
roundups, parades, picnics, social events, etc., etc.
Most important of all has been the St. Anthony’s hospital
campaign, which is being carried on this year and which is meet
ing with such success.
hao H°r *?°Uld We ne*lect to mention the fact that Holt county
has been harvesting bounteous cods this vear.
oth **,*hf! iS n° president‘«l election this year, but a lot of
other colorful events are occuring.

Romaine
Saunders
AN ANTHEM OF LIFE
INhave loved all life and the joy
of life—
Laughter and lilting song,
And the surging tide and the
swinging stride
Of a man who is straight and
strong.
I have loved the marvelous
flight of birds
And the blue of a Summer
sky.
And the lonely way at the break
of day
When the wind goes whisper*
ing by.
I have loved the earth with a
passionate love,
And the silent spell of the
hills
And the purple floor of the
mighty moor
t
And the scent of the daffodils.
I have loved the gold of the sun
set clouds
And the Springtime snow on
the thorn
And the silken gown of the
thistledown
And the poppies among the
corn.
I have loved the first keen kiss
of the frost
That is wine and fire to the
blood,
And the wheel that cuts through
the frozen ruts,
And the roar of the mountain
flood,
And the mellow peace of the
Sabbath morn
And the homeward turn in the
lane
And the lamplight glow and the
falling snow
That beats so soft on the pane.
I have loved the silver of the
beech and birch
And the stalwart stem of the
pine.
And the sense of rest in a wild
bird’s nest
And the tints of the columbine.
I have loved to lie in the mea
dow grass
And I think 1 hear it grow

• • • O’Neill
With the sorrel red high over my
head
And the daisy flowers below. '
I have loved to follow an un
known trail
Away from the haunts ol men,
Where the ferns^row in a grace
ful Oow
Deep in some shaded glen.
I have loved the charm of the
Autumn w oods
And the long clean track of
the plougn,
And the look half shy in a roo
m's eye
As he hopped from the orchard
bough
1 have loved the tender green of
the larch
And the delicate bramble
spray
And the hope so strong in a
blackbird’s song
And the smell of the new- j
mown hay.
I have loved the tapering balsam
tree
And the tints in an ocean
shell,
And the sheer delight of a star
lit night
Goes deeper than I can tell.

The North Western railway is
asking the Interstate Commerce
commission for an order to aban
don something over 100 miles of
road running from Scribner
through five counties to Oak
dale. A dozen towns will be
without railroad service if trains
and tracks are removed. If such
communities desire the thrill of
trains rolling in they arc going
to have to furnish some business
to the railroad instead of putting
it all on rubber tires.
