THOUGHT FOR TODAY
J. Blessed arc they who have v
J the gift of making friends, for
it is one of God's best gifts. It 4
involves many things, but above
J. all, the power of going out of
J. one's self, and appreciating
whatever is noble and loving in J
.J. another. Thomas Hughes.
It's all over, and we are glad. ,

Cold weather is coming on apace.

Even a kicker finds he is useful
sometimes.
:o:
It is hard to edit a newspaper the

With winter coming on apace, I'll

No man 6ught to deprive himself ofl
the joy of a new idea every day.

Old Captain Koenig is there with
both feet when it comes to delivering
the goods.
:o: :
Farming is the "biggest business"
of the world, and probably the most
helter skelter.
With corn at its present high price
it is just like shelling out gold dol
lars to feed cattle.
:o:
From present indications the poor
man with a family is the one who will
suffer from high prices.
:o:
If "poor people have poor ways,"
then a lot cf us ought to change our
ways and watch the results.
:o:
As we go through life we can prey
on one another or we can spare one
another. It is for ourselves to decide.
If we spare others we not only avoid
creating misery in their minds but we
escape many disagreeable conse
quences ourselves. For those who
prey on others in the small ways of
life are always in hot water. Those
who spare others secure a certain
amount of immunity which, in itself,
is a compensation decidedly worth
while.
-:o:-
Where relatives and friends live in
close intimacy there is bound to be at
least one operator of this kind, and
one alone can spread a disease that is
like scurvy among sailors, finding
nourishment in the little personal ob
servations that are made both when
people are on their guard and off their
guard. It is impossible for human
beings, however careful, to hide their
real opinions of one another all the
time. A chance remark, perhaps led
up to or inspired by the quoter but
never referred to when the quotation
is delivered where it may do most
harm, may be converted into poison.

The Christian Science Monitor says:
'It is coming to be more generally
known that electricity is gradually
superseding steam on many railroad
lines in the United States. Every
body is aware by this time, of course.,
about the electrification of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul's Pacific
coast extension, but everybody ha3
not known of the electrification of the
freight tracks of the Norfolk & West
ern and other lines, or of the recent
decision of the directors to electrify
300 miles of the Great Northern. In
some such quiet way as this will the
revolution in motive power proceed
up to the point where haste to scrap
the noisy, smoke-making locomotives
becomes a rush.'5

MAKING IfZFE LIVAIILU.
Better sanitation and better in
formed medical practice now save
every year in this country about 170,
000 lives, which would have been al
lowed to perish ten years ago. That
is, we save as many people annually
now as would be required to make up
a regular army of the present size of
the United States army, and every ten
years we save more lives than were
lost or ruined in the civil war. If this
decrease in the death rate continues
for a long enough period it is obvi
ous that the great tragedy of the life
cut off in mid-career will almost van
ish from human experience, and prac
tically every individual will live long
enough to fulfill the destiny that is
practically possible to him. The mean
man will work out his meanness to
the last turn of the screw, and with
that out of his system get at the
fundamental goodness which, no
doubt, aften underlies meanness. The
genius will blossom out slowly, calm
in the knowledge that society is pro
tecting his talents against germs and
bacteria and that his nutriment is
adequate 'to the health of his bodily
machine.
But even this scientific paradise will
will have its limitations. With life as
long as it is there are many who tiro
of it. The world is full of bored old
people, who are unhappy because they
are beyond the age of work. Per
haps the greatest gift that science can
give mankind is health, but even
health is no guarantee for happiness
or contentment. The labor problem
of today, like the proletarian problems
of all ages, is the product of the
strongest and healthiest men of the
race, out of whose perennial discon
tent arises progress. Society gives to
millions of wcrkingmcn the great
boon of healthful employment. They
do not have to ride in automobiles or
Pullman cars; they do not have to sit
in office chairs all day and grow fat$
they do not have to eat expensive
foods, which are not good for them,
and, in brief, they are totally without
the occupational diseases of the rich.
jYet they are not satisfied. This is
not their ideal world.
What most of us hanker for is an
improvement in the quality rather
than an increase in the quantity of
life. The young people do not look
forward to old age. The great oc
casion of our lives, which perfume the
dusty deserts on either side, occupy
but brief spaces of time. There is
room in a single year for all the
thrilling happiness that falls to the
average lot of mankind. What science
must do is to make life more livable,
to remove the sources of discomfort
and of unnecessary pain, and to point
out the way for the utilization of the
world's riches for the greatest happi
ness of the greatest number.

When one can steer an automobile

This will place Nebraska on the dry

and up to the hour of going to press
it is not positively known who is
elected Wilson or Hughe:-".

THE MERCHANT'S GAIN.
-There is no doubt but that every
merchant in Plattsmouth, doing a busi
ness through credit, has felt an;! will
feel again, the splendid effects on his
business of the operation of an ade
quate currency system.
In all the history of merchandising
there has been a tightening up toward
the first of the ytvir, and during presi
dential years, that has left its im
print in a trail of bankrupt merchants
all over the country.
This year, for the first time when a
president is to be. voted for, the mer
chant who has conducted his store
along good lines, is able to buy at an
ail vantage he has never enjoyed be
fore. In ether years the big buying for
the Christmas trade has been faced
with conditions that demanded a quick
turning of the goods, sometimes at a
loss on the whole season's business.
There has always been a near panic
in presidential years, because the
bankers wee retrenching, and oer.
a good mei chant's credit was not,
taken for much. Nov.- thanks to the
Federal reserve law of a democratic
administration, the merchant can be
U.ken cae of, in a way bo has r.evcr
enjiyed . before. '
There are several of them in Tlatts
mouth today, wearing Hughes buttons,

RAGE
Kailroad Itureau Makes Application to
the State Commission.
On behalf of all the railroads doing
business in Nebraska the western de
murrage and storage bureau of Chi
cago has applied to the Nebi aska
State Railway commission for permis
sion to increase demurrage charges.
As this is one of the questions perill
ing before the state commission that
body can act without another public
hearing on the subject. J. V'. Short
hill of York, secretary of the Ne
bi aska Co-operative drain and Live
Stock association, an organization
having control of 15(5 grain elevators,
publicly urged an increase of demur
rage charges as one cure for the pres
ent car shortage. Some other ship
pers have expressed the same opinion.
The railroads have "presented to the
state commission a set of demurrage
rules, but the principal charge pro
posed is a substitution of a graded
daily charge by the state law. The
picscnt charge is $1 a day after free
time. The state commission has power
to change this.
The railroads propose a demurrage
charge of 92 a day for the first day,
a day for the second day, $1 a day
for the third day, and $5 a day for
the fourth day" and each succeeding
day. The roads ask leave to publirrh
the proposed new demurrage tariffs,
applicable on state traffic and effec
tive on one day's notice.
The railroads say they ask for an
increase, not for an increase in rev
enue, but to provide an aditional in
centive for prompt release of equip
ment by shippers and consignees, and
with the hope that the application of
new rules will in a great measure
alleviate the present car shortage,
from which the shippers and railroa
alike are so severely, suffering.
Accompanying the application is the
statement that the railway commis
sion of Kansas and Colorado, on their
own motion, authorized increased de
murrage rates, and the New Mexico
commission has since also authorized
an increase.
