Repellent Horror in Senate
By ROMAkNE SAUNDERS, Retired, Former Editor The Frontier
MARION, IND.—Cheer up! With democrats
in control of the 84th congress, the world’s trou
bles are ended!
' . Where shall we find words, punctuation marks,
fist-clenched gestures to express the disgust, the
repellent horror at this special session of congress?
It is a gathering of the senate ostensibly to deter
mine what should be done with
the Wisconsin senator who has
done much to hunt out disloyal
elements in government civil and
military service. It develops into
a disgraceful scene wherein Mc
Carthy’s enemies spill their
spleen. The various states elect
men to the senate to perform the
functions of United States sena
tors, not to give way to personal
animosities and display the_
green-eyed monster of jealousy
if one of their fellow senators g°® ^ers
does something worthwhile in pa
triotic service.

“We had a bit a machine trouble some time
ago and damaged a number of ‘t’ mats. While
waiting for replacements, with only a few ‘t’s’ in
the machine, we were forced to set lines twice,
then cut the slugs and patch them together. Some
times we missed the double-takes in the proofs
and then our readers were confused by such
puzzles as:

we weren’t as bad off as the poor fellow who ex

When misfortune or tragedy strikes anywhere
in our fair land the milk of human kindness at
once flows. A Marion family of seven children and
their parents occupying a three-room house lost
their belongings in a fire that broke out in the
house and one little girl of the family lost her life.
Citizens of the community came to their help with
clothing and money and saw that the family was
cared for.

The bald heads are going to see about it. They
are after the scalps of the barbers. Time some
group was telling the tonsorial artists where to
head in. The National Association of Bald Heads
has its committees at work to promote a reform in
hair cutting. Hair cuts should not be so much per
head but so much per hair, they argue.

A 64-year-old Hoosier M.D. has been escorted
into federal court and must take the judicial med
icine for peddling dope. Judge Holder of the fed
eral court said in sentencing the Indianapolis, Ind.,
physician: “You are personally responsible for the
destruction of many young lives.”
Marion has a citizen by tne name oi tugene
Lincoln, who traces his ancestry back to Abe Lin
coln whose memory is a cherished American her
itage. Eugene indulges the poetic muse and has
written verse that sings the songs of nature. He
may never have seen a prairieland sunset, but he
has stood on a city street at close of day and has
written of an Indiana sunset. Should it ever come
to his notice how, without his consent, Prairieland
Talker revamped his sunset word picture, I trust
he will not have me shot at sunrise.
Brilliant disk now sinking low,
Here in silence let me watch you go,
Seeing you reflected in the rain-washed street
Where now I stand your bright rays to greet—
And it is here your shining rays unfold
A foretaste of the streets of gold.
* * *
The farming communities of this section of
Indiana appear prosperous as though Ezra Taft
Benson’s management of the federal swivel chair
farmers was of no concern to the Hoosier planter.
The country to the west of the city where I have
been is level prairie such as we have in Nebraska
with productive soil. Not many cattle are seen, a
few milk cows, but at one farm I saw more hogs
than you will see in all of Holt county. Houses and
barnyard buildings on the farms present a picture
of comfortable and contented home life, though I
talked with one friendly gent of rural breeding
who expressed a desire to go to Nebraska and try
his luck branding a steer. Near my son’s home a
hole of considerable extent has been dug with a
bulldozer and the soil is black all the way to the
bottom.
# * *
Officially, December 15 is safe driving day, a
nationwide effort to do something about the grow
ing tragedies of the highways. Governor Craig calls
upon Indiana motorists to cooperate in this move
ment to the end that the Hoosier state will not re
cord 1,000 traffic deaths this year, which at the
present rate seems likely. Motorists who will give
heed to the governor’s appeal are not the ones who
need the warning. And about the only way to get
at the ones who do is with a policeman’s club. The
results of a recent survey which have been made
public attribute nearly 50 percent of fatal traffic
accidents to speeding.
Frontier’s able statehouse representative
has it that two “natives” of O’Neill have filled the
exalted throne of democratic boss in Nebraska.
Mr. Boyle of Omaha is a native American while
the late Arthur F. Mullen was a native of Canada.
Both Mr. Boyle and Mr. Mullen were at one time
residents of O’Neill and in a sense the town claim
ed them as its own, as O’Neill was where their po
litical guiding star of promise first gleamed above
the prairie horizon. Art, at least, thought it ‘ folly
to drink from puddles by the way when here at
home the crystal fountains play.”
* * »
So there is to be a cowboy hall of fame down
at Kansas City and Governor Crosby will be on
the board of directors. Prairieland Talker calls
the governor’s attention to at least one Holt county
king of the range who should have a nitch in such
hall of fame, Bill Thompson, who became mayor of
Chicago, 111. And there was Jim Dahlman from
Dawes county, who was mayor of Omaha for a
few terms.

November 11, vets’ day, 200 foreign-bom from
26 countries became American citizens when they
subscribed to the oath of allegiance to Uncle Sam
down at Indianapolis, Ind., the youngest of these
being a 5-year-old girl from Germany who has been
adopted into an Indiana home. Two foreign-born
WAC’s were among the group that became citi
zens of the United States.

Streets and highways in this part of the Hoo- 1

Editorial . . .
Patronage Is the Answer
Holt county representatives attending last
Thursday’s rail hearing held at Valentine are
unanimous in their reports of a highly satisfactory,
mutually profitable, illuminating and somewhat
entertaining meeting.
Nearly five hundred persons packed the Val
entine auditorium and it was quite evident virtu
ally all of them were anxious to perpetuate Chi
cago & North Western passenger-mail-express
trains numbers 13 and 14 on the Omaha to Chad
ron run. There were few sour grapes. It was a
matter of getting down to business and discussing
ways and means of erasing red ink on the opera
tion of the two trains and putting them in the
black.
Vice-President J. E. Goodwin of the C&NW
railroad prefaced his remarks by admitting that
railroads have made “a million mistakes.” He
suggested there might be some in the audience
who might know' all about running a railroad, but
at the same time insisted he might take over one
of their ranches and “make more money than you
can imagine. This satire brought down the
house.
The 2V£ - hour session wras punctuated with
frequent applause. Whenever one of the 15 speak
ers uttered something that had special appeal a
romd of applause followed. The meeting was con
ducted in a wholesome atmosphere and consider
able good no doubt will come from it.
It was arbitrarily decided by Mr. Goodwin
to continue operating the two trains for a period
of eight months—the test period to begin the day
the two modem lightweight coaches are placed in
service (probably about mid-January). The rail
load management has no illusion that people will
queue up to board the sleek new coaches, but the
move demonstrates the railroad is willing to do
something.
Mr. Goodwin said the C&NW has no desire
or no intent of removing passenger trains where
they will “break even” financially or operate in
the black.
The future for these two trains appears to be
a four-way proposition and the railroad already
has signified it will improve its equipment. The
Frontier feels the rail unions should take a hard
look at the situation and, if the unions are genu
inely interested in providing employment for some
48 crewmen on the 447-mile Omaha-to-Chadron
run, they should relax some of their downright
unreasonable demands (ie.: Flagmen doing nothing
but contributing 20-thousand-dollars to the an
nual operational loss; baggagemen drawing ex
tra pay for getting off the coach and tossing
on a can of cream for which the railroad collects
75 cents for hauling, etc., etc.)
There’s the reaction of the public. It’s our
guess the passenger reveune will increase some,
and we predict there will be appreciable gams
in railway express business. Almost immediately
after the Valentine meeting the Chambers of
Commerce at O’Neill and Neligh met and discussed
ways and means to increase express and parcel
post patronage. These factors are of direct value
to the C&NW.
Then there’s the matter of the government
mail contracts. The postoffice department is
turning to truck transportation more-and-more—
at an alarming rate as far as The Frontier is con
cerned. If there is any further diversion of mail
from these trains, no doubt the final chapters on
trains numbers 13 and 14 will have been written.
The postoffice transportation people should take
a prudent view of the overall picture and bear in
mind this is a mainline proposition in which vol
ume is great and in which thousands of people
are interested.
v These four groups working toward a common
goal will insure continued and improved service
for the people along the line and the C&NW can
point to the Chadron-to-Omaha operation as a
profitable one, as it should be.
If all four groups don’t yield and improve
upon the status quo, the fate of trains numbers 13
and 14 will be sealed at the end of the eight
months experimental period.
Your church must have active support if it is
to function and expand. Passive support is not
enough.

Hospitality
Vice-President J. E. Goodwin,
operations chief for the Chica
go & North Western railroad,
went to Valentine aboard the
passenger - mail - express train
number 13 for last Thursday’s
public rail hearing.
Mr. Goodwin and his staff
j stepped from the special business
car (attached to the rear of the
train) after the diesel-drawn
number 13 pulled into the O’Neill
I station. It was a dark and cold
I morning.
Mr. Goodwin cordially greeted
each member of the O’Neill
delegation. Before the train had
pulled from the station, Mr.
Goodwin was entertaining the
O'Neill group at breakfast. Be
fore reaching Valentine, he had
opened his private car’s dining
facilities (menu — ham, eggs,
toast, coffee) to each person
aboard enroute to the Valentine
hearing.
It occurred to most of us the
C&NW’s operations chief (what
else is there about a railway?)
is a right sort of guy and some
thing good would be coming
from the widely-publicized meet
ing coming up in the afternoon.
It was a good meeting. For
several hours the five hundred
north Nebraskans concerned over
the prospects of losing the two
trains impressed Mr. Goodwin
with a genuine interest in the
welfare of the two trains in
particular and the future of the
railroad in general. The spokes
men made sincere appeals to Mr.
Goodwin to improve some of the
equipment and to transmit some
of his own friendliness and cor
diality to employees and agents
up-and-down the 447-mile Om
aha-to-Chadron line.
‘Million Mistakes’
Mr. Goodwin admitted the
railroads have made a “million
mistakes.” He said it was unrea
sonable of the public to expect
a railway to continue to operate
trains at huge deficits (trains 13
and 14 have been incurring losses
of 60-thousand-dollars per year).
He fielded a series of questions
personally, not once tossing a
toughie into the hands of one of
his aides.
It was a wholesome atmos
phere and a profitable meeting
from the standpoints of both the
railroad and the public.
Those in the audience (there
were successive rounds of ap
plause all around) learned some
of the rail problems and the top
drawer rail official listened to
squawks, some of which were
considered very important by
those who uttered them (that’s
why some persons were there—to
get it off their chests).
Net result: Trains 13 and 14
will receive new lightweight
coaches after the first of the
year and from that point on an
eight months’ experimental peri
od will begin. The trains will, in
effect, operate from Chicago-to
Chadron via Omaha and, unless
something unforeseen develops, a
person may go to Chicago with
out changing trains and vice
versa.

Lovefeast
What could have been a rather
difficult situation, in which ev
eryone was the loser, turned out
to be a lovefeast. North-Nebras
kans (thousands of them are de
pendent upon the two trains for
passenger - mail-express service)
became pleasantly well acquaint
ed and impressed with a tall,
greying fellow who is under the
strain of making pay a big op
eration that sprawls over nine
states, serving thousands of cities
and towns, and hiring 30
thousand employees.
It’s our guess these Nebras
kans will rally to the support of
these two trains with passenger,
express and parcel post patron
age and North Western will take
to heart some of the “beefs.”
It’s our guess the net result
of the lovefeast will work to the
benefit of all and to the mutual
satisfaction of both the public
and the railroad company.
The business car? Sure it was
plush and rather comfortable.
Yet Mr. Goodwin offered to “give
it” to anyone in the O’Neill del
egation who would live in it and
roll up the miles he does in su
pervising the road’s operations
on main lines and branch lines
in the far reaches of the West.
There were no takers.
