Prairieland Talk—
More About Glass Eyes
By ROHALVE SAUNDERS. 4110 South SlM St.. Lincoln 6, Ncbr,
LINCOLN Of the letters received from friends
of Prairieland Talk, none has been so highly re
garded as a recent letter from a sweet little girl who
has an O’Neill address, Audry Schultz
She writes:
"We were very happy to read the paragraph
that you wrote in The Frontier about Glass Eyes
ind her colt. I am one of the
Schultz girls My name is Au
dry and I like to ride my bike,
go swimming, roller skating,
horseback riding and go to
school. I am eight-years-old and
will be in the third grade. I
have a sister nine-years-old.
Her name is Gwenda. She will
be in the fourth grade I have
a sister five-years-old, her
name is Debra, and she will
start to school two weeks after
Christmas." RomaJne
1 thank this little friend for Saunders
her nice letter and hope to see her some day riding
up to me on Glass Eyes.

A gentleman, a loyal friend, generous-hearted
Montana Jack Sullivan now lies in the abode of the
dead. When the long last roll is called and the rever
berations of a wrecked and ruined world peels forth
and out of the abode of the dead the throngs come
forth to walk where they had walked- Jack will not
be seen again until then. He had suffered lately. May
he now rest in peace!

I have Neil Ryan to thank for a collection of
postcards that invite us to step back about a half
century. The cards bear the photograph of a team
and buggy with two citizens in the seat in the street
in front of the J. B. Ryan Hay company’s place of
business on South Fourth st.

A 10-year-old, his childish soul stained by hu
man blood. It was in a distant city, the lad walked
up to a woman to snatch her purse, flashed a pistol,
shot and killed her. That's the way they do it on the
TV. he explained. Is that what your boy sees at your
fireside? Saw it on the TV, a thrilling scene of ad
venture out of which comes a murder. And how
come a gun in the hand grip of a 10-year-old kid?
Are the hands of the father and mother, whose son
at a tender age starts life as a murderer, stained
with human blood? Mere children, teenagers, must
learn life's lessons from adults. In a courtroom here
In the capital city today as this is typed out sits a
15-year-old, her fate in the hands of a jury. She is
little more than a juvenile delinquent, but a young
girl whose hands had taken human life. If a family
altar graced every home childhood and youth would
get what the TV does not give them.
Items out of the past—November, 1905: Miss

As another November comes to us prairieland
lies under the warmth and glow of sunlight by day,
calm nights under a fading moon. After a fruitful
season autumn days come and go all aglow with
light and color. Some say it has been the t)est year
since they have walked the highway of life, and right
here on the open prairies of Nebraska we enjoy it
to the full, while in other communities, in other
lands, the pot of trouble boils and bubbles. And as
Thanksgiving day comes and we feast again we
have much to be thankful for. So as we clutch the
roasted turkey leg maybe we can spare a bite for
the guy who has to beg.
It was half past 6 o'clock a morning in early
October, just slipped off the calendar, when I passed
iis house at Third and Everett sts., when R. H.
^arker came out of the door and headed to his of
fice a block away to get going on the business of
tbe day. Mr. Parker is endowed with the traditions
of pioneer—if you have matters to attend to get up
and go get it. Parents and grandparents of R. H.
were here on the open prairie before Neil Brennan
and Pat Hagerty marked out a street in the village
of O'Neill. Maybe that morning a month ago, friend
Parker had another early riser as a client he was
to see at his office.

While we usually think of dawn as the begin
ning of a new day, it is not actually the case, except
in certain countries. The day begins at sunset with
the Jews, Athenians, Chinese, Mohammedans, Ital
ians and Bohemians; at sunrise with the Babylon
ians, Syrians, Persians, and modern Greeks; at
noon with ancient Egyptians and modern astronom
ers; at midnight with the English, French, Dutch,
German, Portuguese, and Americans.

The rocket people are reducing the size of the

Editorial—
‘ What Happened?’
Nearly everyone is asking: “What happened?”
In Nebraska the results of the November 4 elec
tion proved a real shocker particularly in the gu
bernatorial race which appears to have been won
by Ralph G. Hrooks, a political nonentity from
McCook who has been a controversial figure in at
least three towns we know of: Hartington, Cedar
Rapids and McCook. Brooks, a democrat, defeated
Victor E. Anderson, republican.
The turn on Anderson was generally reflected
down the line at the state capitol. A dead democrat,
James R. Kelly, managed 132,000, in a bid for state
auditor.
A Harrison young man, J. Monroe Bixler,
state senator, running on the republican ticket, was
edged by Richard R. Larsen, a democrat from
Omaha who is a part-time bartender, salesman and
jack-of-all trades. As the new state treasurer Mr.
Larsen will be accounting for millions of dollars.
At the county level democrats made stronger
showings than any time in recent years, although
incumbents were returned to offices in all contests.
At the state level there was a general feeling to
vote against the “ins” and vote for the "outs”.
Much dissatisfaction against Governor Anderson is
traced to a way to “get at” State Highway Engin
eer L. N. Ress, an appointee. Some votes went
against the state GOP slate because of dissatis
faction with school matters although Anderson has
no more to do with the department of public in
struction than does the average school boy. But dis
satisfaction persists and Anderson was handiest be
cause the school administration is complex, ie: non
political state board of education members elected
on staggered terms without opposition, etc., etc.,
appoint the state commissioner of education.
But the cold reality of what transpired at the
state level is that labor has—for the time being
moved into control of Nebraska politics.
Labor put plenty of dough into the demo cam
paign and exercised stem discipline in (a) voter
registration; (b) getting out the vote. (Note how
mnnv vntoc tho HnoH mnn rppAivnH nn thp Homn
side).
Labor leaders have said Vic had made a good
governor but Ress had to go. Ress had opposed la
bor on wage scale matters in connection with in
terstate highway construction, trying to hold the
line.
Brooks, the McCook junior college prexy, pick
ed up strong support from the professional educa
tors, who see Brooks as a champion for higher sal
aries, high teacher certification, fewer and larger
schools, etc. Moreover, Brooks has been stumping
the state for years as a public speaker, specializing
in commencement addresses and memorial day
talks. Thus, he had laid substantial groundwork
before the demo wheelhorses beckoned.
Lawrence Brock, Wakefield demo, knocked off
Robert D. Harrison, GOP incumbent, in the Third
district. Harrison waged a campaign based against
labor rackets and the agrarian Third district vot
ers went for Brock. Harrison, on the other hand,
was no idol before Brock came along.
Donald F. McGinley, young Ogallala democratic
attorney, put the skids under Dr. A. L. Miller, Kim
ball republican who had served nine terms. Miller
had worn thin in many places, flipflopped on Ag
Secretary Ezra Benson (cattlement like Benson);
the young lawyer campaigned hard and effectively
and will find himself in the hot seat representing
Nebraska’s Fourth when the next congress con
venes. In representing the cowpunchers he’ll have
some uncomfortable moments if he follows the left
wing northern democrat disciplinary line in mat
ters pertaining to labor legislation and free spend
ing for which new deal and fair deal demos north
of the Mason-Dixon line are noted
Nationwide it was labor organization and pres
sure that carried the mail for the demos. The AFL
CIO combine conducted vote-getting schools in the
spring, ridiculed members on bulletin boards if
they hadn’t registered, organized car pools and baby
sitters when election day rolled around. In Califor
nia workers who carried auto stickers favoring
right-to-work or Knowland, Bricker or Goldwater
might find smashed fenders or yellow paint splash
ed on their car. The labor leaders in labor states gen
erated class hate and advocated socialistic pro
grams.
Businessmen, large and small, slept. President
Eisenhower came out of his lethargy the last 30
days. If Ike had acted for six years in harmony
with his words he could have headed off the disas
terous results, particularly in view’ of the fact that
the demos netted only 56 percent of the nation’s to
tal vote.
Beyond these random thoughts we don’t know’
what happened, except maybe Vice-President Nix
on, now the head of the republican party in all but
name, may have nailed it when he said:
"Republicans worked for two months and our
opponents worked for two years. We shall begin
w’orking now for victory in November, 1960 ”
Renting Your Reputation
(Bill ('ox in Pierce County Leader)
It may be a church, perhaps a civic organiza
tion or a 4-H club. If someone came along and ask
ed you, “Can we rent your reputation?” what w'ould
your answer be?
Many groups have worked hard to serve their
community over a long period of years and then a
smooth talking promoter will come along and try
to convince your group to sponsor a stage show, his
tory book, birthday calendar or even a first aid sug
gestion pamphlet.
This promoter knows he couldn’t raise “one
cent” unless he is able to obtain a local sponsor, or,
in other words he wants to rent your "good reputa
tion”.
The promoter promises you some profit, any
way he or she makes it look like your organization
may get some profit.
So the promoter gets your organization on the
dotted line and starts out to squeeze every cent out
of the community that he can get. The fast talkers
promise anything under the sun in the name of your
organization.
Then it’s all over ... a sour taste in everyone’s
mouth on the local level and the promoter leaves
town with pockets bulging with money and your
group probably obtaining a profit of 7c to 8c on each
dollar.
Your reputation has been rented and returned
to you stained and ruined Every time the name of
your group is mentioned in town it is remembered
as the organization that gyped its fellow citizens.
Think long and hard before you rent anyone the
reputation of your organization, especially a total
stranger who has a get-rich scheme to offer your
membership.

ber 2, when he was bitten in the
leg by a rattlesnake
Young Blinn, who has been a
frequent visitor here, was in a
deer hunting party on the Henry
Jackson ranch west of Valentine
when the rattlesnake struck his
leg immediately above the Ixxit
top.
The Ixiy shot the snake and then
moved to higher ground. Another
boy in the hunting party heard the
shots and rushed to the vicinity
from where the shot came Gary
told him he had slain a snake The
companion produced a pocket
knife and Gary made deep cuts
across the fang marks and bled
the venom from the wounds.
Blinn then awaited the arrival
of his grandfather, Lawnie Bleed,
who also had heard the shots and
was attracted to the scene.
Within an hour after the attack
Blinn was being treated at the
Valentine hospital. Examination
showed that the boy had succeed
ed in removing every trace of poi
son and only bandaging of the leg
was required.
He rejoined the hunting party
later in the day and was on the
scene when his father bagged a
deer.

Letters to Editor
I^ast week I got back from visit
ing kin folks in the South.
I was in Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico, Arizona Very
nice highways most of the way.
I stopped in ntatty towns along
i the way. One thing that impressed
me very much was the signs along
the highways that read $100 fine
or 30 days in jail for throwing lit
ter on the highway. 1 did not see
these signs in Nebraska.
1 think it would be nice if our
city, O'Neill, would look and be as
| clean as the ones in our neighbor
ing states It will take a lot of
schooling for both the young and
old.
One does not see the yards of
our homes cluttered up like I hate
seen O'Neill's 1 knights street
So let's all cooperate and make
our town a nicer town to live in.
Don't lie a litterbug.
