Editorial Unfavorable Publicity? A casual remark by a member of the State Education department last week about the effects of publicity on an unfortunate situation has led us lo do some serious thinking. Mel Olson, consultant in school administration for the state education department, voiced the opinion that much of the trouble and dissension in the Inman school ruckus could perhaps lx* blamed on "unfavorable publicity". We can never believe that publicity on a situ ation such as exists at Inman i sa factor in causing it, nor can we believe that the reixirting of any act can increase or diminish the original seriousness of the act, hut that it can act as a guide and caution to those who would become involved in the future. B J R Sold His Honor It was a remark overheard in a streetcar, but it reminded one that there are honorable men in the world. A young man said: "I am very particular about paying my fare. I look a ticket home once when I was a Very small boy, and showed it to my father, saying the conductor had not taken it, and that I was that much ahead. My father looked at me and said that I had sold my honor for a nickel. That put a new face on it I always think of what he said when I am tempted to repeat such an of fense. Uplift, Vocational Printing class of Stonewall Jackson Training School. -— i Thought of the Month Speaking out on an issue of importance to your firm is sometimes dangerous, always difficult. Si lence on an issue may not be golden it may be just plain yellow. BEVERLY, MASS., EVENING TIMES: "Swed en appears determined to have its cake and eat it, too . . . Welfare spending is up 9 per cent from last year, but private business and industry are escaping the increased burden. The consumer is largely financing the new social services through a lusty sales tax increase. In effect, Sweden is heading away from socialism and toward free en terprise. It has come to realize that welfare schemes like the ones dear to Swedish hearts cannot exist without a base of prosperous private industry.” Take Another Job? Not Me! An aroma of fascination surrounds a newspaper making many persons say they'd like to own one. It is a fascination which dings to everyone except newspaper people. They have no illusions. Now to own a newspaper, here is what you'll have to do in one normal day: Explain to Mrs. Smyth why Aunt Sara's 85th birthday party was not on the front page . Explain to an advertiser why it is impossible to get him on page three. Explain to an exsubscriber why you had to cut off his unpaid subscription after you had sent him four notices. Explain deadlines 100 times a day and why you have to have them. Explain why there may he some trivia in the first run, yet important news was left out of the last run. Soothe a lady who called her party in too late. Explain v'hy some weeks you've got news run ning out of your ears and other weeks the paper reads like a report on Amalgamated Steel. Apologize to an advertiser for an error in his ad and smile sweetly while he tells you what an idiot you are. uecipner »cni>uiing uiai cuimrs wimcu pads, paper napkins, a comer of junior's arithmetic lesson or on the back of a letter from Cousin Frank. Pet a balky Linotype that is as nervous as a dish of jello and puts you further behind when you're already behind. Explain to a customer arriving late with copy that if you get his stuff in, you’ll hav eto leave somebody else out and then explain to the one you left out. Apologize for spelling the name of a fellow Arong. Of course it doesn't help when you graduate from high sch<x>l with the guy and he hasn’t been able to spell your name right either, and besides he has called you Charley for twenty years while every one else calls you by your correct name, Bill. The last run made, the papers on the news stand and in the mail, you'll feel a sense of relief for about five minutes. Then you start explaining why you did this or didn’t do that and it starts all over again. TAKE ANOTHER JOB, not me.

NEBRASKANS were asked to contribute $19,312 In “war taxes" to the Federal Government The people of this terri tory claimed the sum was far beyond their abilities to pay. So Congress released Nebraska from the obliga tion—and instead failed to appropriate $20,000 for the territorial legislative session of 1862-63. Nowadays, the brewing industry in Nebraska contributes more than $10,000,000 annually in taxes, or 500 times more than the “war tax” of 100 years ago. This money helps support our schools, highways and parks. TODAY in its centennial year, the United States Brewers Association still works constantly to assure maintenance of high standards of quality and propriety wherever beer and ale are served.
