It has been said a man is just as old as he feels, and it's a good saying. A man's life is not measured by years, but by his vision of the future and by dreams that he keeps fresh and enc'ianting. Many a man of fifty retires from bus ne.-s, thinking that his lues work is done and that the remainder of hs years must be given to rest and recreation. He wants to pez out of the game and become a mere tlrone dying of old age, but he is already as dead as an Egptian mummy so far as the passing show is concerned. The nio-t miserable and the most worth less man in the world is the man who has nothing to do. How often do we see the retired farmer or the retired A Lousiana woman 112 years old died the other day. It is said that this remarkable woman did not smoke nor drink, and worried as much as she liked. :o: Wnile it is claimed that almost everyone will soon be buying auto mobiles, it is hoped they don't discon tinue sidewalks for foot passengers just yet. land. -3 :o: For State Senator. . . . l l resident w nson s Mexican policy I hereby announce myself as a can- is still watchful, but it's no longer didate for state senator on the repub- waiting. :o:- lican ticket from Cass and Otoe coun ties, subject to the will of the voters at the primary election.

John Wunderlich is a good man, and no one will ever regret voting for him. :o: There are not nearly so many op pored to school bonds as there were two years ago. Since the parents have become familiar with the condi tions of the old High school building they have wisely concluded that we need a school house and need it badly. The bonds ought to carry this time by a large vote. :o: Perhaps editorial opinion doesn't re-i licet the opinion of the people of a nation, and in some cases it doesn't try, but, if you want to know how the editors feel about preparedness, the Literary Digest has questioned five hundred of them scattered over every state in the union, and learns that the editors are for this preparedness strong. In the army, the average figure is for a regular army of 285,078 and a reserve of 1,215,'J50, which is a big increase over present figures. And they are even stronger for a large ravy; forty per cent think a navy of second rank will do, but sixty per c-nt want a navy equal to Great Brit ain's. And, whether these editorial opinions reflect the sentiment of the nation, the nation is going to vote for them, for both big political parties will be for preparedness, differing only in degree and methods to biing it about. lie used up his life till the thread ian out. If Mfe is worth living at all, it is worth living to the end. Th2 plans of the Civator do not provide fov any waste in the world. Growth to the end is the natural order of things, and when things stop growing they die. A man may continue growing mentally and spiritually although he may have reached four score or four score and ten, unless, of course, he is broken in health. A man of eighty three entering college as a student is an example worth keeping con stantly before us. :o : Securities valued at 2,000,000 pounds and suspected as being of Ger man ownership, seized from mails in transit, now are in possession of the English prize court, according to an announcement by the foreign office. Securities have not yet been declared absolute contrabrand, but it is possible they soon will be placed on the contra brand list. Meanwhile seizures will be continued on the ground that under the orders in council these securities establish credit for hostile belligerents and therefore can be legally held up. The authorities in London declare that innocent ownership "can be easily proved by reference to the banks which hold any of the detained securities and that therefore nothing in the nature of a hardship beyond a slight delay is liable to be suffered by innocent own ers. The American government has not yet protested against the seizure of securities, but Ambassador Page has transmitted numerous inquiries to the British office on the subject of such detentions. These inquiries have been made mainly at the request of American banks to which detained securities were addressed. :o: Whenever a officer is refused per mission to quarantine any house which is deemed necessary by the author ities, the same should be reported to the proper officers and the parents who refuse such permission arrested and fined. It is not a pleasant duty for any officer to quarantine anyone, but he is compelled to do his duty. For State Senator.

STURM, :o:- They are talking of making Keith Neville's nomination unanimous up at Lincoln, the same as everywhere else in the state. :o: Don't worry, my friend, because you want the earth. You'll get every inch that belongs to you when the under taker gets you. :o: If Mexico had anything to do with the introduction of chili con carne in this country, let's mobilize the navy, too, while we are at it. -n If you are a loyal citizen, and be lieve in having n comfortable place in which to educate your children, you must necessarily support the school bond proposition. :o: When the Journal publisher fails to receive more than one letter a day telling him of a rise in the price of paper he is convinced something is wrong with the mail service. :o: Mr. Bryan is.a great big man when it comes to oratory, but a very little man when it comes to politics. Con sidering Mr. Bryan's former standing among the big men of his nation, it illy becomes him to meddle with the local politics of his home state if Nebraska can be considered his home state. :o: There is no doubt that the race for the democratic nomination for gov ernor is between Keith Neville and Charles W. Bryan. After the people have seen and heard these gentlemen, it will not take but a few minutes to decide which is the proper person to preside over the destinies of Ne braska. :o: We've been so busy veeyifying Villa the last week or so that we've almost forgotten our regular business of in- sultin' the sultan. We are not sure which front he is on today, but we hope he sticks his head up over one of the parapets at Trebizond some time before it gets dark. :o: It is pretty thin argument to say that the voting of bonds for a new school building will retard emigration to our city. It will be hard to find a city or town in the state that is not in debt for a school or some other public building. And a man who is looking for a new location, will always prefer a town that has up-to-date sciiool buildings as well as good schools. Such a newcomer wants a desirable place to educate his children, and wants to pay for same, and never in quires as to the bonded indebtedness of the school district. Nehawka, Nebraska.
