1 Prairieland Taik—
Late Sea Wherry Most Outstanding
Nebraskan in ° His Generaion
By ROMAINE SAUNDER*
LINCOLN — During the first
week in December one of Ne
braska’s greatest was laid away
to join the long muster roll of
eternity.
Three days later a strange
character of the genus homo in a
Lincoln suburb was taken to
Kansas and consigned to mother
earth.
Senator Kenneth Wheery was
the most outstanding Nebraskan
of this generation, made so by
reason of hi^
position in the
United States
senate and the
further reason
that he had re
markable gifts
in personality,
vigorous mind
and untiring
energy.
The strange
character who
ift the age of 79
came to the end
siapuneg of the trail per
haps had abili
uca t-4uui tu uiiy mail, L'uuege
end (University degrees that set
jim above the crowd, and yet he
was a city street sweeper. With
his brush and push cart he was
seen day-by-day, humped and
old, cjjrty and unkempt, going a
bout the streets gathering the dift
and rubbish iftto heaps for street
cleaning truckers to pick up. He
had not always been so and his
educated ability was once in de
mand. Then came that devouring
first world wgr into which this
man was drawn and came out a
victim of gas attacks—a living
wreck no longer able to move a
mong men as the equal of any.
But maybe street sweeping is
also necessary.

Ten years ago tonight as I
write, Tom Baker down by Am
lia came to our home to tell us
that Pearl Harbor had been
bombed by the Japs and the
story was coming in by radio. He
invited Mrs. Saunders an$ me to
come with him and hear it. Hav
mg a son in coasi guara service
in Honolulu at that time, we went
vith Mr. Baker and spent the
evening at the old Riley Bros,
ranch while the chilling story
came in over the air. And then
President Roosevelt took over to
tell the country we were in war
with Nippon. We hQ^rd nothing
from our son for some weeks but
finally a letter came through
that he was OK on active duty
but had one close call when bul
lets landed in his bunk. That
night touched off the blood let
ting that ran a crimson stream a
cross the earth. The Japs were
brought to their knees but much
>f our military establishment is
;till there. And now comes a call
« draft 55,000 more young Amer
icans to 3hare in the Slood let
ting. The history of the race is
written in human blood and beat
Dut on the anvil of envy and ha
tred. Must envy and hatred and
butchery live forever?

Parents are charged with being
responsible for the juvenile de
linquency that is worrying the
public. And they can well take
it to heart. In too many cases
when kids become smart alecks
and turn to evil ways, in place
of correcting them and seeking
to "train up the child in the
way he should go" they take
the opposite ° course which
eventually leads to criminal
acts on the part of their off
spring.

Ten editors have come up with
what they think has been the
fbiggest scientific news a} the
year. Opinions vary from pmic
fighting machines to discovy of
new things for healing the is of
mankind. Such terms asihese
that most of us are unfeiiliar
with are used by the editor with
impunity: Steroid, honone,
cortisone, antigens, synthep and
a lot of others. It has ale been
divulged that mother’s mk can
lick the viruses of enc#halitis
and yellow fever. Let’s ell that
the biggest news. And alog with
that the year has brough a re
markable demonstration hat the
milk of human kindness tis flow
ed in abundance. The siffering
and loss of victims of Kansas and
Missouri floods so appealed to
our people on prairieland and
elsewhere that there has been
generous outpouring to alleviate
the distress. Neighbors, too, have
come to the help of some afflict-!
ed or unfortunate ones among
them. I wonder if this spirit of
giving a lift does not transcend
the discoveries of science and all >
other inventions.

The clergy have us trained so
we go to church to say our pray
ers—if we are the praying kind.
There was a Man 2,000 years ago
who went up and down the dusty
roads healing the sick, restoring
sight to the blind and raising xo
life the dead who drew a lesson
from thost robed ecclesiatistics
who gathered in the market
places and temple court to pray
by saying . . . “When thou pray
est enter into thy closet, and
when thou hast shut thy door
pray to thy Father which is in
gecret, and thy Father which
seeth in secret, shall reward thee
openly.”

What holds the small town
down to the one-horse status
more than anything else is the
local enmity that exists among
rival factions and individuals.
Two gents in business on the
same street are not only not on
speaking terms but do all they
can to injure the other, and each
has a following, and sisters in
lodges and churches wave the red
flag at each other.

O’Neill Livestock Market. I
Top butchers were bringing
from $17.10 to $17.40; sows were
ranging from $16.75 to $17.25. The
receipts were noticeably lower,

tions. The supply was less than
half compared to the previous
week.
