Does Jones still pay the freight?

Nebraska's next important event
is the constitutional convention.

I low would it do to set the kaiser
adrift in a dory and guarantee him
the freedom of the teas?
:o:
The ex-Kaiser says he still has
friends in America. Their address
probably is fort Leavenworth.
:o:
Judging from Mr. Hoover's pro
gram for feeding Kurope, America's
share in the victory is going to be
the plowshare.
:o: (
An exchange savs "a woman can
shovel the snow off sidewalk as
well as a man." Hu she would be
a damphool for doing it. while her
lazy man is loafing down town.
:o:
It is always good to remember
that many a man who inquires after
your health really doesn't care a
rap whether its good, bad or in
different. :o:
Here is what is meant by the
"privileged." A man who goes to
town in a motor car when the
weather is pleasant.

a buggy
when the roads are muddy and on
horseback when there's a blizzard.
:o:
In spite of plots and fears, it now
looks as though Germany really
were steering around towards de
mocracy. The dispatchos say the
assembly election is featured with
riots.
:o:
It must be annoying to the sena
tors to reflect that Mr. Hoover is
now in Kurope, where the news
papers probably won't publish a
line of the senatorial attacks on
him.
:o:
When a man has a perfectly good
opportunity to resign from the
Cabinet at $12,00 a year and
doesn't, what is it a sign of? Can
it be that we are being bureaucrat
td by men who couldn't make that
much in private life?
:o:
The average newspaper reader
will hestitate about agreeing with
.Mr. Armour that the packers are in
no combine of any sort, but when
he says any attempt to regulate the
packing industry will affect several
other lines of business at the same
time, everybody will agree with him
and maybe shout "JIurrah."
:o:
From one direction we hear that
the only tiling to fight Bolshevism
with is food. From another we
learn that Bolshevism is being
starved out in Berlin "because the
germ of Bolshevism finds no nour
ishment there." Strange, Isn't it,
that the Knglifch language should be
hard for foreigners to learn, when it
it so simple as this?

We know where the Bolhseviki
are determined to go to, but where
did they come from?
:o:
A doctor in the east states he can
cure insanity by extracting certain
teeth. Let's send for him right
away.
The people are undecided as to
whether they want the present
weather to continue or Lave it cold
it. Of course the coal bills are not
so big, but doctor bills- are.
:o:
The fact that Germany expect: to
get her colonies back seems to show
that one of the serious injuries Ger
many received in the war must have
been to her head.
: :o:
Now that there are no more 4
minute talkers, the St. Joseph Ga
zette is anxious to know if it is
likely that these same fellows will
resume talking an ho:- and a half
by the clock.
It was worth a IMaCsi uth man's

country, if for nothing more than
to see some snow three week- old
that was still white.

Tight skrits have been found to
delay the Pennsylvania Line's trains
materially. The management says
the running time cf trains must be
lengthened unless the women disre
gard style. Well, prepare to leng
then the running time, then.
:o:
It is the opinion of Railroader
Ixivett that better service will result
under" the competitive system. It
sounds reasonable. But suppose we
look into the possibilities of com
petitive government control, which
we shall see next year 1920 is one
of those periodical competitive
years, is it not?
:o: -
The Pennsylvania Railroad figur
es out that tight skirts are slowing
up train service on an average of
seventeen seconds at eacli stop, ind
hints that skirts must be shortened
or train schedules must be length
ened. Well perhaps the Nation can
afford slower train schedules, if we
make up the time in other ways.
And there is no doubt that longer
skirts will save a lot of time former
ly expended in lacing up high shoes.
:o:
It looks to a man up a tree that
we are in need of a night man on
the police force more than we are a
day man, although Chief Manspeak
er Is very attentive to his duties.
But one man can't fill both the
places, as most of the mischief is
done after the midnight hour. What
has become of the merchant's po
lice? It is preposterous to even
think of a city of 6000 population
doing without an all night man.
:o:
It looks now as though there will
not be nearly enough captured Ger
man guns to supply the demand of
all the towns which want them to
set up in their respective city parks
and squares, so the next step is to
get the Northern cities to resign
themselves to their disappointment;
just as they did when the supply of
army training camps ran short at
the Mason and Dixon Line.
OUR NATIONAL FAILING.
What is perhaps a too general
view of the subject of universal
training for national service and of
preparedness, particularly in con
nection w-ith the plan of a' League
of Nations, was expressed in con
versation by one who heard General
Wood's speech in Kansas City Sat
urday.
"I think," said this auditor, "that
everybody wants to get away from
the subject of the war as quickly as
possible. We won, Germany is
licked, the danger is over. The
country wants to get back to busi
ness and reconstruction. Talk of
taking more millions of men from
industry to train them for an event
no man expects to see will not strike
Americans sympathetically just
now. The war is over, and with
the League of Nations that is com
ing there is small probability of an
other." Nothing could be more human.
one might sav more American. The
necessity of preparing for anything
that is not in plain sight never does
strike the average of our species.
Everybody will admit with entire
readiness, if put to the question, the
inevitableness of death, but how
many of us number among his per
sonal acquaintances anybody who
has made any very etxensive prep
arations for it? Bankers have been
struck, we know, with the careless
almost cheerful, lack of prepared
ness, many men exhibit with re
gard to the approaching maturity of
their notes of hand. If it is human
to err so it is to defer. Many oth

SECRET DIPLOMACY.
The love of the professional dip
lomat for secret methods of diplo
macy dies hard. The fresh revela
tion of this fact, on the very eve of
the opening of the peace conference,
has undoubtedly come as a shock to
public opinion. It is not merely the
fact that the Britisli government
should have made the proposal it did
regarding the admission of the bol
shevik! to the peace negotiations
that has caused public uneasiness,
but the zeal shown by all the cabi
nets to cover it up and prevent any
knowledge of the proposition from
becoming public. The interested
parties succceeded in the conspiracy
of silence for nearly a fortnight,
and it is only the day before the
peace conference meets that an as
tonished world learns what has been
going on behind the scenes.
The public asks anxiously what
fresh revelations of preliminary dis
cords are in store for It..- The cur
ious thing is that sooner 0 later all
such intrigues and understandings
end by becoming known. A few
days before the Berlin congress met
the London Standard published the
text of a secret agreement between

in the development of the labor
question occurred in England
Employees of an English chan-
