The Modern Peter at the Dyke * » Prairieland Talk— Some State Senators Have Yet to Learn They’re Representatives of People By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—The legislature is at work of law making and bud get fixing again. Frank Nelson, of O’Neill, was one of two or three senators who were on hand early Tuesday, January 2, when the session was ’organized starting at noon. Sen ator Nelson feels that in view of Romaine Saunders the national sit uation Nebras ka should go slow about ad ding to the tax burdens and will maintain his position for economy in the administrati o n of state busi ness. Here comes a gentle man f:om the west end of the state proposing to set aside the will of the voters and reenact the gas tax. Seme of the local statesmen have not yet grasped the truth that it is what the voters feel is best for the state rather than what individual senators think about it. They have yet to learn they are representatives of the people, not promoters of per* sonal interests. Hugo Srb, who has functioned as clerk since memory faileth, serves in that capacity again. A Bourbon flavor invaded the state house for a few hours with the seating of Mr. Caldwell as at tourir v-general to function over one night, probably his last chance at the job. • • • Starting with two members in Akron, O., in 1935, Alcoholics An onymous now counts 110,000 members . . .

Winter’s first snow to a depth of eight inches fell silently on the slumbering world the night of January 1. Wheat growers wel come the snow, nature students thrill at the undefiled purity, boys drag out their sleds, little •children roll in its soft embrace and the Old Timer feels coming over him the memory of a span - f bay steppers, lines in his hands as he draws them over the dash of a cutter, sleigh bells jingling in the f:osty air, and the village belle wrapped in furs by his side, j while an envious swain looks on as they glide by. m m m Because of friends capable of influencing appointments, the lame duck gets a better job than the successful candidate. Whom the voters reject, the politicians take under their wing. • • • She had experienced manyi thrilling moments. Great crowds 1 had been touched to the quick ! by her sweet singing. But when | iuarian Andersen, the negro singer, was asked what was her greatest monent, she replied: “It was the day I went home and told my mother that she did not have to take in washings any more.” There is something fine in that which transcends even her unmatched talent. One who could charm thousands with her sweet voice and not be swept in to the stellar realms of popular - ity but think of that black moth er at home toiling over a wash tub has a heart to match her ' voice. Senator McKnight by the sec ond day of the legislative session had tossed 17 bills into the as ! sembly line hoping for their ac ceptance by the body of assem , bled Nebraska statesmen. Chang i ing, revamping, rooting out and j ! substituting Nebraska statutory provisions goes merrily on at each successive session. * * * The gaily colored and haugh ty magazines, claiming millions of readers, go stale on the news stands and revert to oblivion.
