O O o | Prairieland Talk— ‘World’s Greatest Cowboy’ Lacks Authenticity of Early Holt ‘Cowpokes’ By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—I handed the clerk my 2-bits and walked out with the little high brow monthly mag azine. The first page opened to there stared at me unblushingly in 36-point type “The World’s Greatest Cowboy.” Well, here it is, authentic. Thought maybe Mike Calahan, Hay McClure, Tim Bunnell, Bob Ingersoll or even the redoubtable Sam Elwood, knights of the range that I had known, might have found a place in such a story. But the author was dealing with the fore flushers in big hats, nifty togs and thorough bred nag dolled up in senseless trappings that appear in mov ;i ■T’ I'l .'[)<• monkeyshines. I Saunders fear that neither the horse nor its rider out there at Hollywood has what it taRes to make the "greatest cowboy" when it comes to roping a 3-year-old, applying the branding iron and the strenuous work on the round up. Of course the real punchers that rode the trails from Texas to Montana got their $30 a month, while the boys at Hollywood get about $30 a minute. * • • We are here because one old fogey of the antediluvian world had the faith and the courage to build the first ocean-going ship. A son of the great Solomon in herited his father’s kingdom and j lost most of it because he did not follow the advice of the old fogies but acted upon that given by the young fellow he had grown up with. The Ten Commandments were entrusted to an old fogey nearing 100. A few old fogies con ceived the idea of a United States of America. Youth has enthu siasm, middle life moderation, age counsels with wisdom. Let no man despise thy youth, wrote Paul to Timothy. Rise up before the hoary-head and honor the face of the old man, was an early heaven sent injunction. From the cradle to the grave the economy of society needs it all. Impetuous youth will avoid pitfalls if they are willing at times to stop, look and listen. • • • Educators grouped in the cap itol city recently came up with a proposal to require teachers to have a bachelor's degree. De grees from coLeges and univer sities do not make teachers. It is a sympathetic understanding of children and youth, the abil ity to win their confidence and friendship that counts. • • • An interesting situation is de veloping in the senatorial vacan cy. Mr. Seaton, of Beatrice, is now senator for a year by ap pointment of Governor Peterson. He says that will be enough for him. But will it? On the heels of his appointment, former-gov ernor Dwight Griswold filed for the April primary to serve out the remaining 2 years of the Senator Wherry term. And Mr. Peterson has intimated he will withdraw as a candidate for Senator But ler’s seat in congress and try for the senatorial stretch Griswold is after. In this event, the pop ularity of a governor and former governor with Republican voters will be of unusual interest. # * • * An old age retirement pension plan has been suggested for our United Nations delegates. . . . Does the vote at the special election in the Third congression al district in which the Demo cratic candidate did not carry a county indicate what’s coming up in the ’52 election? ... Fred Seaton of Hastings, a recent newscomer from Kansas, was Governor Peter son’s preference of the group of native sons and others to fill the vacancy of seat No. 9 m the United States senate chamber . . . Southern California has been dusted off by 75-mile-an-hour winds and wet down by heavy rains. . . An old scout in Lincoln on the assistance rolls undertook some rough house stuff at the as sistance office and landed in jail. • • • Frank Morrison, of McCook, is one outspoken Nebraska Demo crat who is telling his political colleagues things. Many things in politics spoil the picture and if left like a rotten apple in the bar rel will eventualy contaminate all. Mr. Morrison would have a o party house cleaning and thinks that Southern reformer? Sen. Ke fauver of Tennessee, is the one tc ao it by heading the Democratic national party in ’52. A worthj undertaking, Mr. Morrison, bul not a chance. Prairieland patriot; are looking to the GOP. • • • Blake Maher died Sunday, De cember 9, in Lincoln. He was a brother of the late John Maher, who at one time lived in O’Neill and served as court reporter. A picturesque character, John gol national attention in the Cuban war by defying the brass when ordered to turn his typewritei over for their use. The Maher boys founded the Old Line Insur ance company in Lincoln. • • • Lee Downey out at Denver re members me again with one ol the Burlington calendars. What 1 like about them is they are bit enough to see across the room fit for a big railroad and a big hearted guy like Lee to send out Thanks again, oldtimer! (Continued on page 7.) o CLEARANCE!
