The principal business of the
f,hit:e.n of Hi'' May iinw-a-ilas In
to et the tl'iMt out of Hi'- parlor
:o:
Prof. Merriam spent 133,25 1
in iho Chicago mayoralty cam
paign. This would make quite a
hoie in the average college pro
fessor's salary.
:o :
The fashion plates continue to
model women after a peg-top, hut
the great majority ot sensihlo
womanhood never gels far from
the hell outline.
:o :
Labor troubles used to prevail
on May day, hut the workinginan
realizes pretty well now that when
be strikes he usually hits his wife
find children first.
-::-
Our people are traveling thou
sands of miles to see the corona
tion, while sensible Londoners are
reparing to take to cover until
the. racket is over.
-:o:
After such calamities a- the
Hangor tire, people will some day
find out that a man practically
commits arson when he puts up a
woden building m a thickly set
tled city.
:o:
Our citizens have complied
pretty well vsith Mayor Hauler's
clean-up appeal, and a trip oxer
the city will find evidence of this
fact in every direction.
-:o:-
April showers were scarce this
year over the bulk of the country,
and the people who have run off
with their neighbor's umbrellas
have delivered themselves to the
fnmy of souls for naught.
-:o:
The Pennsylvania railroad lias
been boasting about the safety of
its passengers, hut the awful
Kaston accident suggests that
careful track walking and train
running is the best press agent.
:o:
The Iliiugor lire sufferers had
to camp out in the streets, hut
their chances for getting a square
local look much belter than thoe
of the ordinary campinic-out
party.
. ;o: .
The democrats lost mil in
everything in the election in Lin
coln Tuesday. It is alvas best
to cast aside hypocrisy when you
are, before the people for their
suffrages.
:o:
The postal card vote instituted
by the Slate Journal didn't ma
terialize at the polls in the elec
tion in Lincoln Tuesday. Accord
ing to the returns on the saloon
question, "straws (volesl don't
always show which way the wind
blows."
In the old days the sin. pic
hearted children used May 1 to
wander in the woods Reeking
posies, but now the sophistic nlul
youth rummage the streets for
cigarette pictures.
:o:
This is a lime of great danger
lo health, when the housecle!ier
incite the genus lo go rompaging
all over the house, when before
tlioy were resting quietly as
harmless as kittens.
:o:
It looks like the baseball scj-
eon will go by without any club
in this city. We have conversed
with several business men and
they are of the opinion that suf
ficient money can be raised if the
proper parties go after it. Thuy
all seem anxious for a good club.
:o:
The many friends of ex-Senator
Uurkett will regret to learn
that Mrs. Burkett is dangerously
ill at Washington and but little
hopes are entertained for her re
covery. The Journal hopes that
the unfortunate lady is not so sick
as reported and that she will
soon recover.
-:o:
An old-time friend told us
something a few years ago that
we have never forgotten, and that
is this: "Ili-niii at the bottom
and crawl up gradually. Never
try to reach the top right on the
start, or you are liable to come
down with a crash." And we all
will find, sooner or later, that that
old friend's advice is as good as
gold.
-:o:-
Speaking of advertising Ne
braska the Omaha Tlee says:
"Lvery newspaper in Nebraska Is
a permanent publicity bureau for
I lie state. These newspapers ask
no subsidies, but they are en
titled to, and should receive ap
preciate recognition of what
they are doing, and substantial
support fi oiii all other business
institutions and members of the
community that share in the
bem-llls."
-:o:-
"(lood roads" is a matter that
is agitating the minds of the peo
ple everywhere, and we are de
lighted to know that our Com
mercial club has taken up the
queAt fori and will have Mr. King,
"the man from Missouri." here
some time in the near future to
"show us" how to build and main
tain good roads. He knows the
trick it is done by, and it is hoped
the farmers will come out and
hear his suggestions.
-:o:
Agitate the Fourth of July
celebration and let us have one
that will do Plattsmouth proud.
The people know w hat I lie Cmn
niercial club can do when il
starts in to accomplish anxlhing.
A great big Fourth of July cele
bration will do more to advertise
I'latlsmoulh than anything else
that can be done. People are still
talking about the big celebration
we had here three years ago. SI art
Hie ball to rolling1 right now.
:o:
The Lincoln Star deserves great
redit for (lie result of the elec
tion in Lincoln Tuesday. It struck
direct from the shoulder and was
not at all "mealy-mouthed" in de
fining its position on matters and
tilings pertainiiu to Ihe election.
There certainly was great rejoic
ing around Ihe Star oftlee when
the result of the election was
known. The Star is a great paper
and is coming to the front rapii
ly.
:o :
THE DYNAMITE TRIALS.
F.very organization, as well as
every individual, in the slightest
way related to the trials at Los
Angeles, for alleged dynamite
outrages, owes it to the country
and to its own personal interest
l give up every scrap of evidence
in its possession that can bear on
these charges. -
This long record of crime is a
tax on every workinginan in the
country. The cost does not come
out of the concerns made the
victims. They figure the chance
of violence ns n j,iU.j 0f pos(
of the business, and Iho people
have to pay a higher price for
construction work.
The knowledge that there are
among us these desperate
anarchists discourages capital
from new enterprises, helps make
business dull and tends to throw
men out of employment.
This country still depends to a
large extent on Kurope for capital
for new enterprises. We cannot
draw Fairopean funds here if we
permit the enemies of society to
destroy property right and left.
:o:
PEACE AND THE BOYS.
How to get the school children
of the country lined up for uni
versal and permanent interna
tional peace is a question being
considered by the peace organiza
tions. The third national peace con
gress assembled at Baltimore
yesterday. The American SchooJ
Peace league is a subsidary of
the general organization and this
league arranged a meeting of the
school teachers of Maryland,
which was addressed by Mrs.
Lucia Ames Mead of Boston. Mrs.
Mead undertook to tell how to
teach international peace in the
schools.
"Kef ute the fallacy that gov
ernment rests on force," she said.
"Sharply distinguish between war
within nations and war between
nations. Kpmhasize justice."
Now, this training of the young
idea riot to shoot appears to be
about as dillicult as nny part of
Ihe work that lies before the or
ganization for the peace pro
paganda. The dearest heroes of
the average school boy are milit
ary heroes. The patriotism that
is in him is nearer to being of
lighting ardor than that which is
in his father. The boys in the
High school battalion are 'not
satisfied unless allowed lo carry
actual guns in drill. Mr. Koose
elt is urging rille practice in
every High school, and he is fond
of telling child auditors that a
boy of any ago ought to be ready
to light on due provocation.
McOufTey's old second reader
used to have a stirring tale of u
crowd of school boys who armed
themselves with wooden swords
and charged upon a Hock of geese.
And besides this military hero
worship naturally, we may fcay, lo
boys, and the emulation of militia
and Ihe counsel of distinguishe'd
elders as to drill and rifle practice
is the fact that an appreciation of
peace conies by experience.
The school boy, therefore, is
e toughest problem the peace
propagandaisls have to deal with.
Fortunately he can't vote on a
question of peace or war. In
various enterprises with boys it is
found advantageous to take ad
vantage of the warrior sentiment
in boys. We have the Boys' Brig
ade and the Boy Scout move
ments. The peace people can't
employ this method. Perhaps the
program outlined by Mrs. Mead
is as good as any though dif
ficulties can be at once suggested.
Perhaps it might help to take the
boy, in his war reading away from
the cannon and the batllelleld and
make him walk through Him field
hospital and by the burial trench.

:o:
Plattsmouth is one of the pret
tiest towns of its size in Nebraska
(r Iowa. We have one of the
liveliest Commercial clubs in the
stale, and we are more than hold
ing our own. Yet you will find a
knocker on tho street occasional
ly who will say things that are
intended to injure the town. Why
don't such fellows move out or
cease slandering the community
in which he makes his home?
There are no strings to him.
