Prairieland Talk—
Oriental Has Idea America Is in
Business of World Conquest
By ROMAINE SAUNDERS
LINCOLN—He was standing at
■ a bus stop, accosted me as I
came along and asked about bus
| schedules. And thereby I came
face to face with one of them.
Vicious as a
rattle snake in
his attitude to
w a r d Ameri
cans. Informed
me he was a
native of the!
United States, |
but had taken
out citizenship
in the Philip
pines after
some years in
the Orient. If
Saunders he reflects the
Oriental senti
ment toward us, resentment, we
are a pretty crummy outfit, in
the East131100 °f the Wise *uys of
They think America is in the
«UmnhSS °u world conquest and
have at»sorbed an idea
that the territory of the United
btates has been acquired by in
vasion of other lands and we are
now out to rule the world, ac
cording to this specimen of Asi
atic reds. We gave the Philip
pines their own free government.
Liberated Cuba, bought Alaska
and half of our mainland by the
Louisiana purchase and are now
trying to liberate Korea. This is
our thanks.
When asked why he did not re
turn to Asia as his kind was not
welcome among free men. said he
could not get a passport and in
timated he was a prisoner. His
bus arrived and he was gone be
fore it was possible to get at the
bottom of the affair.
V V *
In 1905 the editor of the
Chambers Bugle, in one of
those periods that hit the news
paper game at times when bus
iness is not pressing, advertis
ed to grind shears for the ladies
so "they would cut" for 5 cents
a shear. A S-cent coin was
something in 1903.

And now the scandals of the
living are added to those of the
dead. The former head of the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion, under the late President
Roosevelt, Jesse Jones, makes
some startling disclosures, among
other charges the second world
war was started to assure a
third term for Mr. Roosevelt. “He
had no intention of leaving the
White House until voted out or
carried out,” reads a line in an
other book of memoirs that have
come out of the New Deal saga
to tell things. “The evil that men
often interred with their bones,
do lives after them; the good is
So let it be with Caesar.” Who so
heartless to violate the memory
of the dead? Yet overweening
ambitions of men have set the
world aflame with hate, opened
rivers of blood and wrought dis
aster to nations. The once great
German nation fell prostrate may
be to rise no more because of a
ruthless and insane Hitler. Italy
survives because its people saw
the folly of a pride-swollen pre
tender. Mr. Roosevelt had per
sonal ambition, but he also had a
heart that mellowed in a measure
the blunders of the head. War
with Japan was the result of the
chief executive’s hand in Asiatic
affairs, and American blood still
stains the soil of Asia. We de
nounce the Roosevelt ambition,
estimate the blunders as human
limitations and have charitable
memory of the sometimes mis
guided acts of mercy. »
On page 8, crowded with ad
vertisnng, was the 2-inch story
which concluded with the formal
official statement that “the wom
an had been dead about 4 hours
when the body was found.” The
battered, broken body of a young
woman lay near a railroad south
of Omaha. A mark on the broken
body indicated a stab by the hand
® .c“t throat. Just another
added to the long list of human
tragedies plucked out of the
bloom of buoyant life. Oh yes,
there was the “official investiga
tion, a formality that police
have become enured in, but
heartbreaking mockery to the one
who sits in silent sorrow and
mourns. Police finger print rec
°c 5 identified the body as that
of a 28-year-old Omaha woman, a
poor lost soul that lay there in a
mangled heap who may have
been driven by the force of cir
cumstances into a life of shame,
the blighting of the plighted faith
of early youth that had promised
eternal love and truth has now
ieft the battered wreck of a mis
erable creature that had been
made in the image of God crush
ed to earth. Who knows but that
out there in the depth of eternity
that poor creature will again
bear the image of Him who is all
merciful.

Gov. Thomas Dewey went, he
saw and came back with some
changes in his thinking respect- i
ing the role of Uncle Sam in '
lands beyond the seas. Listen: 1
“Stop trying to make the world ’
over into our own image.” What
the people of Asia need above
everything else just now is some
thing to eat. The bowls of rice
are empty and the fish bones
licked bare. A hungry people will
take up with anything that has
a promise. The reds of Russia
promise them a “full dinner pail,”
but it has not showed up yet in
the land of pagodas. Asia for As
iatics, Europe for Europeans, Af
rica for Africans, Australia for
the natives and America for Am
ericans and those who wish to j
become such. Maybe then the
sword can be turned into a plow
share.
A few Holt county women are
to have the thrill of reporting for
jury duty and so cut loose for the
moment from household cares.
They will get a first hand look
at judicial proceedings. There
was a time when a jury seat in
the Holt county courtroom was
hardly the place for a lady. Those
were the days when we printed
bar dockets half the thickness of
a Ward catalog and criminal
cages to make your hair curl,
with lawyers armed with six
shooters being the rule in Judge
Tiffney’s court. Bams, Kinkaid,
Westoyer, Harrington and Dick
son sat on the bench during some
hectic trials and the Holt county
bar had one lady member, Jean
nett Taylor.

The teacher in a grade in a
church school in one of the
suburbs of Lincoln interested
her pupils in a garden project
the past summer. Last week
the last of the garden crop was
gathered. A quantity of the
garden products had previous
ly been put into glass jars. Now
the school is using what was
raised in a domestic science
way and feeding teacher and
pupils.

It was about the middle 1890’s
that a new thing was introduced
striding over the board walks
which had been provided
along 3 blocks of O’Neill’s un
paved streets. Pat Mullen had
the courage to step out in a pair
of tan colored shoes. It was a
sight for folks along the way who
ran to the door to get a look. But
from then on patent leathers and
high-topped boots began to lose
cast. Shoes of various hues are
so numerous that the chemists
are at their wits end to find col
ors for shoe polish.

Governor Peterson has rejected
a reasonably sure thing maybe
in favor of an uncertainty. He
doubtless could go to congress
from the Third district to take up
the job left vacant by the death
of Mr. Stefan. Peterson is consid
ering a seat in the senate now
occupied by Sen. Hugh Butler
who if he desires to retain the
Peterson’s predecessor had that
toga probably will do so. Mr.
urge but ambition retired to cool
off in life’s less conspicuous but
happier way among neighbors
in an out-state rural community.
