Business at the capital now.
:o:
Success to the new legislature.
:o:
May the new county oflicials be
successful.
:o:
The senate and house both organ
ized Tuesday, and are ready for
business.
:o:
When people discover that a man
wants but little here below they
give it to him.
:o:
General Wood loses one of his
best friends in the death of Colonel
Iioosevelt, if not his very best
friend.
:o:
While other lines of endeavor are
having their spells of depression,
the foot-pad business seems to be
holding up.
:o:
An American sculptor has "done"
Marshal Foch in clay. By a singu
lar coincidence, it was Foch who
"did" Von Hindenburg in the mud. i
:o:
"Mexico is quiet," says the Car-
ranza Consul-General. You can get
any kind of "news" you like from
Mexico, according to the source of
supply.
:o:
The war is over and life seems to
Iiavo settled down again to a strug
gle for the purpose of getting more
mileage out of motor tires, brooms
and safety razor blades.
:o:
Texas is a stale with a great deal
of natural pride. The Houston Post
takes pains to point out that "it's
our Mr. Uurleson they've been talk
ing about in the Senate."
:o:
The end of the war didn't bring
much relief to the newspapers. Last
year they saved coal by feeding gov
ernment bulletins into the furnaces,
but ths year that item is cut down.
:o:
"One by one your good teeth go,"
says an advertisement. We thought
that was only the old fashioned way,
and that the modern way was to
have 'em all pulled at once and buy
plates.
:or
Simplicity marked the funeral
services held Wednesday for Ex
President Iioosevelt. They were
simple but effective. An immense
attendance notwithstanding the
privacy of t lie services.
:o:
It is a delightful treat that Presi
dent Wilson is listening to the call
of the people instead of the call of
the politicians. We are glad that
he had the nerve to make the trip
to France, in spite of the opposi
t ion.
:o:
One thing must be said for the
brewers they're game. Forced out
of the brewing business, some of
them are going into the packing
business, where their previous train
ing in .self-defense may come In
very handy.
-:o:
bi
One of the big reconstruction
problems that has hitherto receiv
ed little attention is what will be
done with the demobilized knitting
bags. Some of them can be made
into sofa pillows, but what may be
done with all the rest? Nobody
wants a bouse full of sofa pillows.
:o:
An, awful predicament exists at
the state houso in Liucoln if the
following is the truth: An cx-Gov-crnor
while visiting at the capital
a few days since asked for a Bible
to verify a quotation. He searched
every olfico and department with
out success. Finally he was referr
ed to the state library, but would
not go there to ask. This was be
fore the republicans went in office.
Business has improved somewhat
since the holidays.
:o:
The new Register of Deeds is a
lady, and we want the elegant lady
to know that the Journal's best
wishes are with her.
:o:
Looking back we remember the
good old times when a man could
buy a nickel's worth of cheese and
crackers and get some of both.
:o:
AIU10115I1 the Bible said two
thousand years ago that nations
would grow wiser there are still fel
lows who think it a joke to slip a
snowball down your back.
:o
For references concerning the
most efficient League of Nations yet
devised, apply to Germany. Ger
many ought to know whether the
Entente League can promote peace
or not.
:o:
J. Ham Lewis, who still has time
for a couple more partisan explo
sions before March 4, will become a
private citizen at mat time, nut a
plain private citizen J. Ham can
never be.
:o:
A pianist may be elected Presi
dent of Poland, and right here is
a good time to recall that no ukulele
virtuoso ever was elected president
of anything bigger than a high
school senior class.
:o:
As soon as the ironclad rules of
baseball begin keeping the players
from fighting among themselves and
assaulting the umpire, we will be
lieve, a League of Nations will en
force peace over all the world.
:o:
The Hopkins (Mo.) Journal says
there are sonic men so rushed in
this world that if they were to die
tonight, they would want to come
down town in the morning to work
until the hour set for the funeral.
:o:
The new county clerk goes in
well fitted for the position and
George Sayles, with the assistance
of Hilly Adams, will see that the
affairs of the office are well taken
care of. Success to both of these
gentlemen.
:o:
The death of Hon. David II. Merc
er, of Omaha, removes another very
noted personage from public life in
Nebraska. His death was very sud
den, and entirely unexpected. Dave
Mercer was a good man and his
friends were legion.
:o:
GETTING IN LINE FOR 1919.
Those longer skirts promised since
last year are beginning to arrive,
but while they are not so short,
they're much tighter which
amounts to about the same thing in
Plattsmouth, which is built on a
scries of steep hills.
:o:
When you see a man puzzling
over a document these days he isn't
likely studying up on the League
of Nations; he is figuring out many
things the principal one being
whether he come out even last year
or how much he made.
:o:
Or, if those German food agents
don't choose to go to hell, as Mr.
Hoover suggested, they might go
back, to Berlin and commandeer the
'refrigerators in those cabarets
where celebrations have been re
ported as taking place with increas
ing hilarity ever since the armistice
was signed.
:o:
'Way over in the middle of the
Metropolitan daily under a modest
headline, yesterday was found an
article to the effect that, the late
Czar of Russia and his entire fam
ily had been slain. Should not a
rumor of that kind be investigated
by somebody and treated with tome
prominence?
The following correct forecasts
were made by the Man from Arkan
sas, who prophecies by means of
the breastbone of a goose, the thick
enss of the fur on a coon and the
moss on the north side of forest
trees. He happened to be on Broad
way at the time, so he predicted by
means of the green paint on the
north side of the lamp posts, t he
fur on the soubrette's wrists and
ankles, and the turkey breasts in
the delicatessen windows.
He says this will be a bard wint
er for the poor. Next summer will
be a bad summer for the poor. In
fact, there is so little prospect for
the poor that he advises them to
change their occupation and become
rich.
Prediction: There will be no
more world wars in 1919. The
question of whether cr not democ
racy totes a wallop will be settled
by a newspaper decision in favor
of Kid Columbia. The latter, how
ever, will not defend U12 champion
ship again in the coming year, but
will stall around a couple of year?
and enjoy the prosperity that ac
crues to a champ.
Prediction: The kaiser, who lost
his throne in 1918, has the throne
tattooed on his trousers, but he
will be kicked from one neutral
country to another until the darn
thing is obliterated.
Prediction: Robinson Crusoe
Island, off the coast, of Chile, will
be destroyed by an earthquake. This
hasn't happened for quite a. while.
but the annual custom will be re
vived now that the war news is out
of the way.
Prediction: Now that the sur
render of the U-boats has made the
seas safe for women and children.
there will be a demand that they
be made safe for the men. too, by
seining out Annette Kelleriuann.
t he mermaid vamp.
Prediction: The men who learn
d to cook in the army ami scrub
the kitchen floor will return to find
their wives have learned the boiler
maker's trade, and the poor heroes
will have to admit that a yeoman's
place is in the home.
Prediction: Some scientists will
discover that hippopotamus steak is
as good as turkey, and a lot of poor
goops will begin to feel well fed
until they happen to remember that
hippos are just as hard to catch as j
ham hocks are.
Prediction: The world will be
come absorbed with the question of
why a sailor on a street corner al
ways looks as if he were freezing
to death.
Prediction: The man who used
to say that the German butchers
were so clever that they could use
every part of the pig but the squeal
will be interviewed in 19 lft. and
will admit that when the food short
age was at its worst the Huns final
ly made use of the squeal.
Prediction: This war to end war
was so popular that it is forecast
that all future wars will also be
wars to end war.
Prediction: Regarding the end
of the world, many prophets at var
ious times have predicted it. They
have always fallen down smd fail
ed to deliver the goods on the date
set. Consequently, end-of-t he-world
predictions are regarded as the hoo
doo of the profession. However, if
the signs indicated the world's end
in 1919, I would take a chance and
predict it, but I am led to believe
t hat the end of the world will not
occur in 1919. So that is my
prophecy, and it will stand unless
countermanded by telephone. '

A REAL AMERICAN.
Theodore Roosevelt is dead!
He has stepped from the midst, of
controversy and taken his place
among the immortals, against whom
no man can speak.
For the moment the conflict ceas
es, friend and foe stand with bared
heads to do homage to a great and
valiant soul.
There is a sudden aud loyal si
lence throughout all the hosts, for
no man has ever been more a part
of every man in the United States
than Theodore Roosevelt.
His friends will rush no more
quickly to speak his praise than his
enemies, for he was a man's man
and it was a joy to fight him, as well
as to agree with him.
His spirit was a fierce and beauti
ful flame.
His opinions were simple and al
ways avowed with the wholeness,
and self abandon of a true believer.
He would have made a wonderful
knight in the days of Charlemagne,
a fair and worthy companion to
Roland.
He conceived of life, of duty and
even of love in terms of conflict.
His makeup was militant, but his
conceptions always were sincere.
His chief characteristic was cour
age.
Whatever may have been charged
against him in the extravagances of
dispute, his bitterest foe must con
fess that he was to the last a war
rior, unafraid.
And that quality of fearlessness,
that indomitable bravery when Judg
ed in this weak humanity, is always
a thing of beauty, a little spark of
God. We love it. We respect ir
1nst for itself. It Is the great
worthwhile thing in an immortal j
soul.
So he was a friend, conceived of
as a friend in a passionate and per
sonal way, as no other statesman of
American history except Lincoln.
He was very near to the Ameri
can heart i'nd even the stormy days
of those vast issues that have swept
beyond him, the tribute of respect
that this people pays to him will be
honest and profound.
He had a public mind and gave
himself to the service of the people
with a singleness of purpose that
will be an inspiration to American
yout h.
He was thorouuhly human. He
was frank, over frank somet lines.
but we love the man whose heart
outruns him.
Kings may pa-ss and be lolloweit
to their graves with "the boast ot
heraldry, the pomp of power."
Presidents and premiers may die and
t heir statues be set up in halls of
fame, but none will go from the
midst of the living and leave a
sense of deeper personal loss than
this splendid man. this impetuom
companion, who lias neen snaicucu
by death from the intimate affect iui
of a great people.
The Bull Moose lias made his last
charge.
The Rough Rider 'fias led his last
assault.
Hwana Tumbo. Mie mighty hunt -.t,
is back from this perilous expedi
tion we call life and is gone homo
Friends and opponents, with
equal earnestness, cry out, "God rest
his soul."
Upon his tomb there can be in
scribed an epitaph than which there
can be no nobler, prouder, no truer
tribute:
"Here Lies a Real American."
