IN NEBRASKA « BEERS LIGHT FROSTY DRY SMOOTH SEE THE DIFFERENCE-TASTE THE DIFFERENCE o iiTORS MKtIM (OMVANY •MAMA, MINAIU O ) O 1 Prairieland Talk — General Ike Rides Without Defined Political Principles, Doesn’t Know Score By ROMAINE SAUNDERS LINCOLN—The afternoon held the lure of glad sunshine. I sat on a bench beside a friend, feet at rest on the carpet of grass, the green beneath, the blue above Romaine Saunders foliage on tree and bush op ening to new life, the long branches of the weeping w i 1 - lows swaying in graceful mo tion as the soft south breeze went by. High on a stately pole floated the American flag, stripes of blue and red on a white cloth, stars in a field of blue, the em blem of free men floating aloft this sun-kissed afternoon. Betsy Ross, you whose hands formed it in colonial days of long ago, the flag floats today here where I spend a quiet hour and beside me sits one who came in his youth from a distant foreign land to take refuge under its starry 1 folds and defend its honor. That flag floating in the breeze high above the treetops is the symbol of all that free men cherish of our national heritage, and what that patriotic woman of the long ago framed with devoted hands as the emblem of 13 colonies now floats not merely at the top of that pole a few yards from where my Danish friend and I are seated but waves its silken folds everywhere as the emblem of a people that other nations of earth look to for leadership. General Eisenhower has no I claim on the republican nomina tion for president from a party standpoint. Having intimated his willingness to be of service to either the democrats or republi cans in that capacity it sets the general apart without defined political principles. Moreover, as 1 view it he doesn’t know the score. He has done a good job as i military man but what does he enow of the domestic affairs of the nation? Our military setup is the most watchful of all the branches of government. If it were not so tragic what goes on in the pentagon in Washington would be laughable. Another hopeful is Mr. Stassen, a univer sity man, an entertaining speak er who knows how to gracefully with business sense should take over as chief executive. In my judgment the man best qualified for the job whose name will come before the national repub lican convention in July is Sena tor Taft. He is thoroughly in formed on our domestic matters and has the courage to deal with the labor union bosses in a way to serve the best interests of both employer and employee. Ike comes home from abroad as a hero in many minds. So did Her bert Hoover in years now gone. * * * The Rebekahs and Odd Fellows came to town. Also another group from the plow land and some from the cow country with riding togs to put on a show, a sorry imitation of the real thing we once knew out on prairieland. Among the lodge people pictured in the papers it brought a throb of pleasure to at least one old timer from Holt county to see on page 1 Mrs. Blackmore, of tkinson, pictured with a group of Rebekah officials. I know lit tle or nothing about lodges as .uch but they are doing a work in their homes for the aged and or orphaned children that com nends itself to any sensible per son. The lodge people had a lot f things to keep them busy two Jays one weekend. The farm joys can stir up plenty when hey come together. But did you •ver see an honest to goodness puncher rope a little brown ironco raw from the open coun try, maybe having to throw him o get the saddle and bridle on, olindfold the trembling cayuse, et him up and swing into the addle, remove the blindfold and see the rider stay with his plung .ng mount or get tossed into the mnch grass? One of these doll 'd up dude riders wouldn’t last ong at the game. • * • The story comes out from Washington to the effect that Governor Peterson will enter the field of oratory in behalf of General Eisenhower for the republican nomination for pres ident. Not denying the govern or the Yankee privilege of choice but in taking the stump to boost for Ike he will be out of harmony with the majority rf Nebraska republicans who favored another in the prmary. Moreover. I can't conceive of the propriety of a public offi cial taking time from the du ties of his office for speeches for any individual candidate. * * * Another poor sinner has paid the price of folly and gone through the death chamber at the penitentiary. He died as a poor sinner but as a repentant one who sought peace with his Maker. Maybe this is why exe cutions are delayed for so long after a revolting crime. The death of one convicted of first degree murder is a legal process in Nebraska. There are those who decry it but they might feel different if their 16 - year - old daughter was the mutilated vic tim of a fiend. Death or life im prisonment is left for the jury to decide. Therein may be a strange conception of justice. Why should one convicted of first degree murder be spared and the other sent to the death chamber? Has not one who murders another forfeited his right to life? The ancients thought so and off came the murderer’s head. And listen to a Divine decree: “Whoso shed eth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed.” The death sentence may not discourage crime. Neither does life impris onment. April 30. If was 16 years ago that a Texan came into the Swan and Josie territory of southwest Holt county and ar ranged for a layout to run 7,500 white faces that summer. Tex as range beef got good feed one year. • * • Two within the week who had arrived beyond the alloted years of three score and 10 have been taken to the hospital with brok en hips. An elderly gent took one too many turns in his bed and hit the floor. An ambitious old girl with a yen for neatness and order dropped from a lad der when washing a window. These two incidents resulted in trips to a hospital. If a vener able sister finds it incumbent on her to mount a ladder for any purpose it might be advisable to attach a pillow to any vulnerable spot of the anatomy, or if still a vailable make use of one of those marvels of the 1890’s known as a bussel. • • * The governor, the mayor of Lincoln and a few others took off by air for Washington, D.C., to labor with the powers that be in behalf of getting an air base “reactivated” within cannon shot of the capitol dome. But they landed in North Carolina because of storm conditions. That seemed to be the forerunner of a doomed mission to the stately pentagon where they encounter ed the discouraging word that Nebraska’s air base development was at a standstill because of a “lack of funds.” If the military doesn’t see a million dollar sur plus it’s a lack of funds with them. Lack of funds—that’s what most of us have a surplus of, a flat purse. But that does not pre vent us from doing our stuff and getting our three squares a day. • • * A gent comes from Illinois to i .11 __i.. l_ i. i i . ten uo xx we axe tu «avc ucttei schools we must load up with more tax money. Nebraska schools are alright and an im ported highbrow can’t frighten prairieland dwellers into making a wild dive that calls for more taxes. By better schools is not meant better educated kids but added frills for their entertain ment. • * * * Annotate the mooted question of an auditorium in Lincoln one patriot writes “it must be borne in mind that the cities of Seward, Crete, Beatrice, Wymore, Wilber, DeWitt, Ashland, Wahoo, York and other towns take much plea sure in coming to Lincoln” to take in the doings at public func tions. We take it he means the ■itizens of these cities named. Vs I understand it, Lincoln does not contemplate the towns mov ing in bag and baggage.
