Judge Sutton, who wants to be the

The big concerns of the country are
the only ones that are squealing for
one-cent postage. You never hear the
farmer or laborer hollering for one

fellows that should. But what do big

can stand it or not, so they are bene

One hundred and fifty girls in
Kirksville, Mo., have signed a pledge
not to associate with any boys whn

of that city say that sales of the in

girls of Piattsmouth would have the
courage to sign such a pledge.

GKLETLNGS TO THE PRESIDENT.
The Journal will express its hearty
greetings to the president of the
United States on the announcement of
his marriage. There are many views
on the subject of re-marriage of the
one who is left to mourn when a mar
tial partner is taken by death. There
are circumstances under which re
marriage would be a mistake. There
are others under which it would be
advisable. President Wilson evident
ly considers that in his case the latter
classification is the correct one. He is
a man who was fond of his home; he
is the sort of a man who needs some
one who will take him from his work
and exact a portion of his time in
social enjoyment. It. is interesting to
note that the Wilson family has
broken records for marriages in the
White house. While Woodrow Wilson
is not the first president to take a
bride to the White house, he wiil
doubtless hold a record for having
brought to the White house a family
in which there would be three mar
riages in the short space of less than
three years. There are few women
who would perhaps sit down and con
template happily the prospect of her
husband being the partner of some
other woman and sin- herself forgot
ten. The same is true of men. How
ever, there is good argument for the
re-marriage of cithc r a husband or a
wife who might otherwise be alor.e
in the world, unattached, with no ore
to consider welfare, happiness or com
fort of the lonely one. It may be said
that no man cculd forget, nor cou'.d
a woman, a wife or a husband who
had been devoted and with whom
many years of happy life had been
spent and with whom a family of chil
dren had been reared. Such long ex
periences do not fade from memory,
in a well ordered mind. Yet, the
theory might be applied, the best re
sults in the world arc achieved by peo
ple who are happy, interested, and
have no time to lament over the past.
It may be a cold-blooded, selfish way
to look at it, yet under the circumstance.-,
who could for a moment
blame the president for the step he is
about to take? And may his wedded
iife in his newest venture be a blissful
one.
:o:-
The October bride goes to the altar
deeply concerned about the decora
tions and dresses and incidentally
makes a few bows for the rest of her
lifetime.
:o :
Wilson buttons are already out for
11)10, and arc being worn extensively
in the east. Anybody can con
scientiously wear a Wilson button
these days.
Some papers of metropolitan pro
portions have financial editors, and a
country scribe often wonders what
they know about finances. Certainly
the average newspaper man doesn't
get his knowledge in that line by
handling money. But the lack of it
may also be instructive. Anyhow, I ke
everyone, they have opinions, with a
better chance to express them, and
here is one: These war stocks which
keep soaring from day to day;
wouldn't it have been great if one had
had the cash and the guts to get in
on the ground floor and get out in
time? But doesn't it occur to you
that a tumble is coming? These war
orders won't cutlast the war, and it
can't last forever. And when the
slump comes it's going to be an awful
fall for some of the plungers. They
may wish they had invested in prunes
or Nebraska real estate or other
staples, but wishing doesn't get any
thing on Wall street or points west.
And a good rule for gamblers is not
to bet more than you can afford to
lose, which means you probably won't
bet, and that also is a good idea.
Only six more weeks till Thankj-giving.
:o :-
Indignation is usually very un
profitable. :o:
Do your Christmas advertising
early and get the trade.
:o:
Turkey suggests no Thanksgiving
thoughts to the Armenians.
:o :
Being over-praised, October pre
sumes to "set up" and behave like No
vember. King George threatens to abdicate.
That's another load to fame if others
should be closed.
:o
The price of wheat is going up,
much to the delight of those who have
"wheat in the bin."
The Panama canal will remain closed
until all danger of serious slides in
the Garland cut is passed. General
Goethols is unable to say just when
the canal would be open for business.
: :
We can't see for the life of us how
any true American citizen can assist
Old England, when they know how
hard John Bull has worked twice to
break up this government, and once
destroyed the national capital. Eng
land is no friend of America, and
never was.
;) ;
Those ft'lows who keep prodding R.
L. Metcalfe through their newspapers
arc not making any friends thereby.
Met is not a candidate for any "olTiee,
and lie is too good a man for these
little whiffets to hurt him. Met will
be up and doing when these fellows
will be crving for bread.
-:o:-
AN INTERRUPTION.
Will the Nebraska contingent of the
lepub'.icaa calamity chorus oblige us
with a brief intermission?
Thank you. gentlemen. We take ad
vantage of the lull to read aloud, to
the assembled audience of prosperous
and well-dressed and well-fed Ne
braskar.s. the following sentences
from Bra d.-trcet's weekly trade review
for the week ending October :
"In the economic situation pei form
Mice follows promise at a rapid pace
and as unfavorable factors are elimin
ated even lagging lines are brought in
touch with the circle of growing
activity.
"Industry shows notable activity.
"Ship yards are working at top
speed, steel mills are producing at a
rapid rate, blast furnaces are working
at an unparalleled gait, eight of the
country crops are of record propor
tions, this week's bank clearings
reached peak points, textile mills are
on full time, woolen mills are busy,
plants making munitions of war arc
overtaxed, flour millers are pushing
production on a night and day basis
to take care of homo and foreign de
mands, machine tool shops are turning
down orders, because of inability to
make deliveries, building values for
September show a gain over last year,
our relations to international political
affairs are seemingly more reassuring
than any time since the European war
started, and almost everything in the
country is optimistic."
We have no desire further to detain
the chorus. Wo know it has many
songs yet to sing and is impatient to
be at them. Wo desire merely to
amplify and explain the last few
words of the Bradstreet report: "Al
most everything n the country i
optimistic."
The word "almost" is here used in
deference to the calamity chorus. The
chorus is not optimistic. It is
tentatively pessimistic about the gen
eral condition and really pessimistic
about its own condition which grows
radically worse as the other grows
steadily better.
Again thanking Coionels Hammond,
Sweet and other leaders of the chorus
for the opportunity thus kindly given
us to interject a few words of truth
and good cheer, we bid them and their
meeting good-bye for the day. We
may come again tomorrow to hear
their beautiful rendition of that grand
old song: "Nobody Knows How Poor
I Am." World-Herald.
WHY THIS BIG JEFF?
Speculation is heard asj to why A.
W. Jeffciis, of Omaha has projected
himself into th' bidding for the re
publican senatorial nomination. '
It is suggested that the candidacy!
of "Big Jell'' has for its main pur
pose the weakening of the candidacy
of Hon. John L. Kennedy. Now that
is distilled sapience. Mr. Kennedy be
ing already a candidate, the con
clusion is manifestly safe that Jcff
eris, in getting in hopes to weaken his
rival. Also to weaken one C. II.
Aldrich. Also one Moses Kinkaid,
.should the latter determine to get in
when the getting in is good.
It is also suggested that Mr. JetT
eris' plunge has in view the possible
de.-ire of the adherents of that branch
of republicanism afore-time designate 1
as "regular" and "standpat" to have
a candidate of their own persuasion
for whom they may vote without con
cession, apology or humiliation. Un
doubtedly there is something to this
also. Big Jeff has been recognized
iround Omaha as a special pet of the
macular Omaha standpatter who
massed up the Chicago convention as
its momentary presiding genius in
.-uch a way as to bring down the de
nunciation of the Nebraska contingent
of bull moose boosters in that memor
able meeting.
But none of these speculations takes
into account some essential considera
tions that tend to relieve them of
avoirdupois. They do not recognize
t! at the position of United States
senator for Nebraska is a big office
into which any big man can have
hope of sinking without overlapping
:ir ridd ing the skin off his hips.
They do not take into account the
fact that in every test of fitness Mr.
JefFeris can measure up quite en
couragingly with either of the others
mentknod. They do not give Mr.
JefTeris and those who sustain him
credit for common gumption or that
sincerity sometimes designated good
faith. Nor do they take into account
the further important fact that Big
JcfT has proven himself in some hard
fought battles a might husky cam
paigner. But Joffe: is will not have to
g" out'de of his own party to find
plenty of men of average good judg
ment who assay him as worth all of
the other candidates scrambled to
gether. Lincoln Star.
:o:
Prof Taft is not running for office :
hence he can say what he pleases
about woman suffrage.
:o :
Perhaps the way of the transgres
sor is hard, but practice dilligently
and you can make his way clear.
: :
Suit has been begun to enjoin the
Mutual Life of New York from invest
ing $10,000,000 in the foreign loan.
-o :
The allies have gotten nearly as
much money from this country as is
paid out to the moving picture shows.
:o:
There is now a craze for fur trim
mings in women's wear, and nobody
doing a thing for the ostrich farmer.
Peace at any price, indeed; Henry
Ford says he will go in to the extent
of $10,000,000. And Henry has the
doe, too.
:o :
Women have petitioned Governor
Morchcad to set aside a day as
"Father's Day" in Nebraska. And
why not?
:o:
Carranza must be personally more
agreeable than has been inferred from
his talk, judging from Mr. Stillman's
enthusiasm.
:o:-
Thomas St. John GafFney's experi
ences may teach other consuls to send
messages to the American people
through the state department.
:o :
Automobilists who do not possess
sense enough to stop at railroad cross
ings, or who try to beat trains to it,
are being killed right along every day.
Courts say that ignorance of law is
no excuse, but at the same time at
torneys can't agree on the law. There
are a lot of real big jokes in this dear
old country. .
