Prairieland Talk—
Youngsters Don’t Have Monopoly on Fun;
Country Editors Once Molded Opinion
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN—I mingled with a
hundred more or less at a party
the other night. There were no
teenagers among greying heads.
Roland Hart gave us some Irish
rhyme and wit, the real stuff. He
has been there.
Jim Rodney, an
erstwhile pal of
Harry Lauder,
took us into the
Scottish high
lands with song
in his rich bar
itone. Mrs. Lov
ell took us into
the deep South
among the
darkies, a male
quartet struck
Romalne t h e high and
Saunders low notes in
song, and two charming ladies
trilled the "Silver Threads A
mong the Gold.” A spelling
match found me on the winning
side. An Easter parade put on
exhibition a group of gents
present wearing ladies’ hats,
which demonstrated that kid
characteristics cling to the old
timers, in spite of Paul’s declara
tion that when we become men
we put away childish things.
Arounu came platters bearing
slips of paper. \ou took one and
then hunted up the person whose
name was on the slip of paper.
What became of that introduction
was strictly a personal affair.
America’ was sung by lusty
voices as a signal to get out and
lt was a gay evening
and dont you youngsters think
you have a monopoly!

I don’t know what is being ac
complished by the school[ ot
journalism other than absorbing
public funds to support them
Since their introduction the daily

Stuart, Sprecker at Schuller!
Enos at Stanton and many oth
ers of the weekly press molded
party policy into their com
munities.
The school of journalism of all
of these was the long road from
printer’s devil to journeyman
printer. Going after skulduggery
these men wrote with a pen of
fire and went to press with as
bestos, espoused a a cause with
moderation and dignity, played
on the harpstrings of human
emotions with a pathos that
would stain an angel’s cheek
with tears, or turned to humor
that rolled with laughter.
Oratory has disappeared from
the platform and the mediocre
taken over in many editorial
rooms.

Mrs. Jennie Eppenbach, a busy
mother of 11 stalwart, fine Ne
braskans and carrying a family
name that has been respected
since pioneer days in Holt coun
ty, has written the following
tribute to her beloved Nebraska:
tiuMirr uAijK
Have you ever seen a sunrise
O’er a high and rollin’ plain?
Have you seen the glamour
Of a field of wavin’ grain?
Have you seen hills and valleys
Robed in green by early June?
Have you sauntered through the
meadows
When the birds trill forth an
evening tune?
Have you seen the cows
In their coats of glossy solk '
Coming in at nightfall
So the folks can get the milk?
Have you heard the tractor chug
gin’
As we’re tendin’ knee - high
maize?
Then you’re in Nebraska,
For that is what we raise.
You may go elsewhere for green
er pastures,
But you find a woeful lack;
Nebraska then will beckon
So you'll soon be cornin’ back.
You see again her sunsets,
And her skies of azure hues,
And the sweep of open prairie—
Just the thing to dispel the
blues.
Then you crank up the flivver,
While the women folk’ll pack,
You head ’er for Nebraska
And you come a tear in’ back!

Wonder if those crusty sena
tors ever look up at the capitol
dome down there in Washington
and read the emblazoned lines
enshrined thereon, One God, one
liw, one element and one far-off
divine event to which the whole
creation moves.
Little 8{9 feather Says:
"Feel like dancing. Car sound like sweet j
music after Pontiac dealer grind valves
smooth like new.”
The Shot Heard Round the World
jvty
A web of loveliness has been
wove
Of flowers, trees and birds.
But not a thing in field or grove
Is quite as beautiful as words.
Words—the blind hear, the deaf
may read. The music of words
charms the illiterate and the cul
tured, sways multitudes, starts
the tear, thrills with pleasure, a
muses or startles, winged mes
senger of joy or congeal with
pain, sears the soul with cruel
thrusts or lifts it on celestial
wings into realms of bliss. “Let
the words of my mouth,” prayed
the psalmist, “and the medita
tions of my heart be acceptable
in thy sight, O Lord.”
Asked if genius was inspira
tion, Tom Editon replied, Nope—
perspiration. . . The much-touted
lands of enchantment, mountain
and lake resorts, are not the main
attractions for tourists, most of
whom head for New York City
and Washington, D.C., to “see
things.” . . Indiana has a Tell Ci
ty. .. A chain fished out of Lake
Erie is thought to have been the
anchor chain of a vessel sunk
140 years ago by a British naval
fleet. . . Protestant church mem
bers came forward in 1950 with
one billion dollars in support of
their church work. . . The Alaska
moose is the largest of the deer
group of animals, attaining a
height at the shoulders of 8 feet
and weighing 1,800. . . Pope Pius
All has decreed the Catholic
iaith in the Bible record of crea
tion thus correcting the leanings
or their educators who were toy
ing with the idea that life started
m the ooze of a mudpuddle. . .

Will Spindler, lolling at ease in
a Morris chair and looking out on
the serene Pine Ridge country
north of Gordon, was pictured
with Mrs. Spindler in a Sunday
paper (that everybody in Lincoln
reads) with a story of their work
among the Indians.
Mr. Spindler has been in the
Indian country of South Dako
ta engaged in school work for
many years. The Spindlers
were formerly at the Potato
Hill school but now are at the
Pines.
Mr. Sprindler is the author of a
number of books depicting life
west of the 6th P.M., the scene of
one of his stories being in north
ern Holt county, the home of his
childhood and youth. The “Rim
of of Sandhills” portrayed people
and scenes of the Kid Wade and
Doc Middleton saga, weaving ad
venture, activities of vigilantes,
frontier social and home life,
with a touch of romance, into an
interesting little volume.

We are in for some excitement.
According to a gent and his Jane
posing as seers down in Texas,
this is what is on the agenda for
1951: “Another war crisis in June
and July. What the stars foretell.
A new planet is born. Stalin’s de
feat and the end of communism.
America’s victory. When will we
have one world? The kingdom of
Yahweh begins on earth in 1951.
The return of the Messiah. Flying
saucers—the truth from the Cre
ator concerning them. New dis
eases and epidemics. Drought,
< °,° ^ s> earthquakes, famines,
stock crash, financial crisis.
When and where will Hitler re
turn? When will Russia take Per
sia and the Holy Land? And if
you will send them a buck or
two you will receive 15 pages of
“the most valuable and authen
tic” dope ever produced on com
ing events. That’s one way of get
ting by without engaging in the
daily drudgery of work. Anyway,
spring floods may boost their
reputation.

The “all-star” primary, under
fire of late, in the final analysis
means nothing. Nebraskans are
lot nominating candidates for
president at their primary elec
tions. Nominations are made in
national convention. The first
tryout was something of a hoax.
The man who carried the state
vote got no where in the national
convention, and to a man up a
tree it appears that about all
there is to the “all-star” notion is
to cumber the ballot with names.
A couple by the name of
Drinkwater is in trouble with
federal guardians of the law for
bootlegging firewater.
