The state canvassing board re
ports 459.319 ballots cast at the
November election. Governor Pet
erson had a majority of 44,443 ov
er Mr. Raecke. The entire Repub
lican state ticket was voted in by
majorities up to 60,000. In the
First congressional district, the
Republican incumbent was elect
ed, Mr. Curtis having a majority
of 30,189 over the Democratic can
didates for re-election, Mr. O’Sul
livan. Congressman Stefan, in the
Third district, was given a major
ity of 34,872, and Congressman
* Miller, in the Fourth, 31,100 ma
jority over their Democratic op
ponents. A notable Republican
landslide in Nebraska and in sev
eral other states. Mr. Caldwell, of
Omaha, has gummed up the situa
tion to no purpose by becoming
the “short teirri’ attorney-gener
al.
This is the way one friend of
his department puts it:
“The structure of government
we have been building since the
1930’s has cracked wide open on
its faulty foundations, topheavy
with crazy theories of national
f welfare, leaking from its roofing
o f Rooseveltian construction,
cracking from the weight of com
munistic sympathies, and stink
ing with b. o, of Kremlin agents
in departments of government.
God have mercy on us as we try
to fight our way out.’’
Well, we may have gone hog
wild politically for a time but A
mericans have the good sense to
know when they have had
' enough and the way back to na
tional wisdom was pretty well
indicated by the late election.

The editor seems to have an
overwhelming desire to see the
Huskers chase around after a
football or an urge to get out on
the highways and go places
This may account for a state
ment slipping through last issue
that the decedent had married
four years after being born.
Indications are that the incom
ing legislature may attempt to
contravene the will of the people
as expressed at the polls, in some
respects at least. Some aspiring
statesman comes forward at legis
lative sessions who would rpverse
the flow of the Platte river or
turn the sandhills into cowhiUs.
The proposal to make appropria
tion for one year instead of two
was rejected at the polls, yet it
will probably be revived as an
issue this session. The two-year
period was adopted for good rea
sons. Some extra taxes were vot
ede out by the citizens. The com
ing session should take warning
t and not invent other forms of tax
ation. It is evident that a majority
of Nebraskans are for curtailment
in the use of public funds.

An educational enthusiast
speaking this morning to any who
cared to listen at the radio said
a better world will be ushered in
if we will have better schools,
better in terms of more money
put into them. Schools may not
be what they might be but where- |
in there is deficiency it can hard
ly be said to be due to lack of
physical facilities. Schools have
come a long way since we pioneer
kids stood by a hayburner and
recited our lessons. Look out up
on the war-torn world and see
what may be discovered of a ‘ bet
ter world” than the one our fath
f ers and mothers knew.

The great annual spree is on.
Christmas trade is the commercial
event of the year. Selecting gifts
is both a pleasure and a headache.
Maybe all too numerous are in
stances of gift giving out of a
sense of compulsion rather than
joyful interest in friends. And to
some it may have become a fin
ancial burden. But the spirit of
Christmas clusters around human
ity’s hope of immortality and can
not be submerged in material
things.

Mr. Acheson has drawn more

what the public says about him,
the honorable secretary has one
lone friend whose good Missouri
eye sees something not apparent

“Whenever our 4-year-old child
1 heaid the terrible bombing his
body would be bathed in perspira
tion. Exposure to the rays oi tne
! sun resulted in severe sunburns,
1 and the skin began to peel off in
; patches. His feet were so sore that
it seemed impossible to take an
i other step He suf.sred greatly
ior lack ot food, and his little ab
domen became so bloated. With
tears streaming down his checks
he cried, ‘Father, mother, 1 can
not take another step.’ ”
The foregoing quotation is from
the story told by a mother who
with a baby on her back, 4-year
old son trudging along holding
to her hand and her husband
bearing on his back what he could
carry of their household posses
sions, having their flight along
crowded highway from the invad
ers in Korea. It is a vivid picture
j of one of hundreds of similar ex
periences out of the ruin of war.
The tragedy of it is that the right
ful heritage of childhood is so
ruthlessly blighted.
United fTations beat the air at
Lake Success while men bleed
and die on Korean battle
grounds. Withdraw all appro
priations and the monumental
fizzle of "united nations" will
come to an end.
