Prairieland Talk "Frontier To Move" By ROMAINE SAUNDERS, 4110 South but St, Lincoln 6, Nebr. Pnnter-Editor-Captain Gal Stewart spent a day early in December in the Capitol City and got out to 51st street to give Prairieland Talker a glad hand before heading back to O'Neill. Cal has had nearly a year now away from his ardous duties as editor and publisher of the Frontier. He has the matenai tc^jether now f(*r a striking literary contri bution to our country's collec tion of notable incidents of World War U, of which Captain Cal waa a part W’e await with interest the publication of the honk which we believe will be of historical value as well as thrilling interest. It was a Bommlne pleasure to have a visit with Cal and thus learn of friends •Monder* where I had spent life's greater number of years. Cal informed me The Frontier is to move a block to the north of the old stand where it was first published in 1880. In the '90 s the plant was located in the Millard building that stood where now stands a great food market at 5th and Douglas streets. In 1899 'Hie Frontier was moved back to the old location, that building destroyed by fire in the late 20's and a new building erected on the site of the old. The Frontier was established in 1880 by W. D. Mathews in a little building that burned down, two more nuuuings men louoweu. .xuw uie oiuesi es tablished business concern in Holt county is to move to a new location. The second oldest business concern in the county is the Atkinson Graphic, started by a brother of the pioneer who started The Frontier, and the Graphic is published in a building that stands on the site of the first Graphic office. The next oldest business concern in O'Neil] stands here yet. The First National bank. • • • December 4 and 5 a group of Nebraska Young Republicans met at the Comhusker hotel in Lincoln, some in the group not so youthful any more. In terest in I960 elections is warming up. Promoters of schemes to make you good, or do as they do, in the Capitol City plan to go at it again when the next legislature convenes- a Sunday clos ing law. You will be permitted to buy a gallon of gasoline but you can't buy a quart of milk, you can go to church but not to the ball game. Sunday laws have yet to make any individual good; but rather such laws inspire hatred and resentment. The Creator invites His people to “remember the Sabbath day.” But that is another day, not Sunday. At the last legislative session the Gov. Brooks’ pro posed Sunday closing law was defeated in com mittee. Now another group is going to try it. • • • F. A. Johnson, a lawyer of Fremont, Dodge county, comes to the Capitol City to assume the duties of state tax commissioner, the appointment being made by Gov. Brooks to fill a vacancy. President Eisenhower is on his world tour ac companied by his son and his son s wife Throngs of welcome at every stop. The president goes abroad in the interest* of world peace, that which j the vast majority of world people want. But work! dictators would not have it so And as we think we have "peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes." • • • We travel the highway of life and are pleasant when things go our way but you still smile when everything goes haywire! • * * • It was a day in December 50 years ago. James Early pulled into O’Neill from his farm with a "load" of hog meat for market, just one porker that made a wagon box load. It weighed 748 pounds . . . Irishmen, Attention, was the headline over u notice in this paper a week in December that year - 1909. A meeting was called to make plans for a big celebration of the next Saint Patricks day, March 17. It was signed by Neil Brennan, J. J. Mc Cafferty, M. M Sullivan, John Golden, James Mul len, O. F. Biglin, John Carr, T. V. Golden and M F. Harrington. • • • The daily papers featured a story from i Washington telling us that seventeen United States senators have relatives on the federal pay roll, one Nebraska senator among the lot, though he denies he had anything to do with his son getting a federal job. Well, why not sons and daughters and others of the senators' kith and kin being given govern ment jobs, surely a senator should favor his own ubove all others. That quite a group of our U. S. senators feel that way is commendable and this superanuated has been favors them doing so. ! The first week in December snow and cold in Florida, Georgia and elsewhere in southern re gions. An afternoon of a day the first week in December here in the Capitol City of Nebraska, Prairieland Talker parked in a porch chair out in front for a time bathing in the bright December sunshine. But the Club will have their annual gathering, maybe while wind and snow blows, to remind them of the blizzard of Jan 12, 1888, that swept across prairieland and left a trail of death. But the sun shines in all its golden glory this December day, the day Prairieland Talker has his 89th birthday. • • • Among a numl*er of greetings received a day the first week in December tins telegram came from Washington, D. C.: ‘‘Its not the year and not the day, its only you that makes me say happy birthday.” The one who sent it is a long time resi dent of the nation's Capitol City who 67 years ago was a baby in an O'Neill home. And maybe only a native daughter of Nebraska could say it that cute way. Editorial Benson's Prepping For Surgery Ord ljuiv—Ord, Nebraska Our best slick paper magazines indicate Sec retary of Agriculture Benson is proposing some more surgeries on next year’s farm program, operations that closely parallel his inspied (?) handling of this year’s corn. The latter has the GOP currently reaching for a restraining jacket hut to refresh your memory of it, it consisted of reducing the supports on com from $1.31 a bushel to $1.07 a bushel in return for unlimited production. Did the program work? Well, it beats the heck out of us. All we know is that storage this year by the government will call ioi on anuuiouai uimon. wnai nappenea was that when the support price dropped, corn far mere simply went out and raised more. Well, you might argue, "Then the program re duced wheat or other crops- since every acre in com was denied to something else.” That’s a fine argument except that wheat pro duction other crops loo, for that matter, isn’t down either. Well, what did the program accomplish? For one tiling it shatply curtailed Valley county farm income because farmers here didn't raise that extra 25 per cent more coni to offset the reduction in price; and it curtailed it further in other crops because when com went off 25 per cent it dragged several other associated products with it. Barley for instance went from 97c to 67c. These related lower prices, less com per acre and the ever increasing cost of farm poduction has actually dropped farm income here this year to the point that it is pinching. Some farmers have discovered it already. Others won't until they suddenly realize what big amounts of money they have lieen handling this year and how little of it is left to get ac quainted with. "Let's Be Honest" Neligh Leader—Neligh, Nebraska comment on r resident rnsennower s world tour came tumbling out of the Democratic camp this week. "Goodwill tours are all right, but what this country needs is a man who will— "1. Stabilize the economy at home; "2. Overtake the Russians abroad; "3. Dower taxes. "Only the Democrats can give the nation such a man," said the party spokesman. Most of us are aware that with election time drawing near, we can expect some pretty hollow promises, but this one is a little wild for even the staunchest party believer. How we d laugh at the fat lady for telling us she was going to loose weigh by eating more food and that this would lower her food costs. Yet we are expected to believe a similar story on a national scale. Perhaps just perhaps—it’s time for both Dem ocrats and Republicans alike to tell an honest story to the vote is. , To admit that giving away' billions of dollars has not pueehased any reliable friends for United Stall's. ; 1 That Russia is far ahead in both the missile and propaganda race. , t TVhxf 1 _ JAMES CHAMPION, Editor and Co-Publisher ___H, Terras of Subscription: In Nebraska, 52.50 per year; elsewhere in the United States, 53 per year, j rates abroad provided upon request.
