LINCOLN— As Mr. Griswold
anticipated there are others who
have an eye on the 2-year sena
torial seat. Now come 2 more ;
republican patriots seeking the
nomination. It
is refreshing to
see our repre
sen tat 1 v e s in
congress speak
out against the
tidal wave of
world visionar
ies who think
the mission of
America is to
ram down the
necks of the
-Mongolian rac
Romaine es- th* ^alav
ans. the Arabs,
the Muscovites,
the browns and blacks and the
yellows our way of life,
A gent down at the little berg
of Waverly delivered himself of
some insulting statements con
cerning the attitude of Congress
man Buffet, of Omaha, and to
these insults a Lincoln editor
plays second fiddle as an all-wise
oracle of the times. What in hea
ven’s name have the world
dreamers accomplished — deso
lated homes, a world strewn with
human carnage and dipped in the
depth of human sorrow, bombs,
i roaring messengers of death on
: land and sea and in the air, little
children and horror - haunted
women cast adrift on the tide of
human wretchedness to wander
over war torn lands not knowing
where to lav weary heads?
The world vision—it has been
sown to the wind and reaped the
whirlwind. Whoever is chosen
bv the sovereign citizens of Ne
braska to stand where the late
able and courageous Senator
Wherry stood, may they have the
courage born of prairitland tra
ditions to stand with Mr. Buffet
in defense of our American herit
age.

An 81-year-old patriot over
toward Omaha is reported to
have husked LU-0 bushels of
corn by hand last corn picking
season. Wnether he did the
job in 10 days or a month is
not material. The old boy qot
the corn out and asked no odds
of anyone. The old fellows are
showinq 'em. John L. Lewis,
gray and wrinkled, runs the
miners' organization. Rep. Rob
ert L. Douqhton, of North Car
olina, at 88, says he is qoinq to
be a candidate for relection. I
McKellar, 83, of Tennessee, and
Connally, 74, of Texas, each
head important committees of
the senate. And Nebraska's
grand old man of the senate
serves on more than one com
mittee. Old man Herbert Hoo
ver is resorted to when there is
a touqh job to do around Wash
ington.

I find the following among the
published letters in a recent is
sue of the Evening State Journal:
"LINCOLN — I am deeply
grieved to learn of the death of
the Nebraska democratic party
in Omaha last week. I knew it
was very low and had had sev
eral transfusions.
"I understand that there will
be no definite date set for bur
ial until after April 1. It has
been announced that James
Quigley has had the grave dug
for some time. The pallbearers
will be William Meier. Gus
Boeschorner. Clifford Ander
son. Harry Swanson, Hal Mc
Govern and William Ritchie.
“Gov. Robert S. Kerr will
preach the funeral sermon.
Walter Raecke will give the eu
logy. Michael McLaughlin will
sing with J. R. Farris at the
organ. The committee requests
that money for flowers be sent
to Washington, D C., to apply
on the national debt. —D. G.
DAVIS.”
Now, after the obsequies, may
I suggest that John Sullivan and
Francis Lee constitute a commit
tee to get up a card of thanks
for the contributors to the flower
fund?

The Lions of a suburb of Lin
coln are feeling pretty proud of
their state this morning. Last
night they had a dinner for mem
bers and their wives at a pretty
swank setup, A guest from out
in the west end of the state, Mr.
Brooks, entertained, enlightened
and amused the group in an ad
dress that dealt with the products
and industries and scenery of
Nebraska. He called attention to
the Platte river, saying there is
nothing like it in *he world, a
mile wide and 2 inches deep in
some places. One county in Ne
braska has more cattle than Colo
rado and Wyoming combined.
One town of 400 citizens in the
state’s cattle empire has 14 mil
lionaires. Omaha is the leading
stock market of the country and

the state leads all others in the
production of grass seed and baled
hay. has now and always has
had outstanding leaders in polit
ical, cultural and industrial lines.
While it was not suggested by the
gentleman’s talk, it mav be in
ferred that a people who vote
pretty steadily republican are
sure to stand pretty well to the
top of the list.
• • •
The party caucus and conven
tions have been held, to the grief
of a few who feed on sour
grapes. These gatherings are the ,
life of the republic. Every pre
cinct voter can have his say by
attending his party caucus. Here
delegates are chosen for the
county convention and the coun
ty convention names the dele
gates to the state gathering.
Nothing can be more represent
ative. The primary has an appeal
to the mugwump who does noth
ing to promote either party unity
or good government, but gripes
about conventions and partv
“bosses.” Political bosses. Yes.
there are discerning ones who see
clearly and whose patriotism and
mental ability qualifies them for
leadership. These are not to be
confused with the corrupt poli
ticians that influence city elec
tions with booze and boodle. As
long as we have republican and
democratic parties—and that will
i be as long as men and women
"■ i ..
think—there will be need 0/ par
ty leadership. Maybe those who
rave about the “bosses" are cha
grined that their talents are not
recognized.

Glad to see Holt county furnish
a candidate for congress. Mr, Lee
may not make much of a show
ing at the November election
but he has the courage to ignite
a spark of life in a political group
that one day was the whole
cheese in Holt county, the pole
star of office aspirations through
out the state. With a millstone
hanging from the neck of official
Washington it takes grit for one
a place on the ballot with the
capitol dome glittering in one
of our democratic patriots to seek
eve. Maybe Mr. Lee proposes to
shake the fist of a crusader in
the shadow of the white house,
joining with Billy Graham to put
tc route the forces of evil from
the synagogues of Satan.

With telephones in every home,
radios and television, the evening
paper is no longer so important.
That branch of the paper busi
ness may be on the way out un
less more attention is given to
local community affairs that as
yet are not on TV or the radio.
The weekly papers will continue
to be in demand because of the
intimate personal interests and
doings of our neighbors, as well
as being the medium for local
business interests to get their
message before the community.
The ready prints have disappear
ed from the weekly newspaper
and doubtless the next thing to
go will be the homespun philoso
pher. _
Frontier for printing!
