First, he is a' native Nebras kan; second, he has proved himself a friend of tho common people; third. he is one of the most brilliant mem bers of the senate and always has the interests of his constituents' at heart. :o: THE ABE DIFFERENT Dr. Harvey Fletcher, summing up experiments by telephone companies, says that no two people hear exact ly alike. Each member of art audi ence, listening to a musical concert, heare something a trifle different than heard by the others. This' is true of all other senses, particularly sight. No two people "see anything 'in exactly the same light." 'it you doubtit, ask a group to describe something witnessed in common, like a fire or a fight. ' Difference of impressions is what makes difference' of opinions, the cause of present turmoil. WHY VACATION? Why do so many of us yearn for a vacation? Does the vacation do any good, or yield any extra pleasure? Thisis the season "when persons residing In the so-called "temperate zone" begin to put these questions to themselves as seriously as" Billy Sun day asks you if you wish to be saved There is such a thing as the vaca tion habit. And he who forms habit Is, as Wal ter Pater assures us, a slave. If the hegira to the woods or fields or mountains or seashore has harden ed into a habit, the chances are that it will dp one very little good. A change of some sort, even a quiet stay at home, would doubtless prove mora beneficial. Dr. W. A. Evans seems to have some certain doubts as to the bene fits of vacation. In his ever enter taining column a few days ago he said: "If judgment decided, most peo ple would stay in the city during the outing period, since, in the city, the water and milk are safe, there are no bed bugs and wood ticks, no poison ivy, no snakes. "But judgment Is only one factor In the decision. "Yearn for the country because we came from there, .or because we are anxious to learn whether it is true that a bobtail cow gives butter milk. "We want to take to the woods be cause some remote ancestor dwelt In a tree or because we have read and day dreamed about great killers." It all depends, says the doctor, up on a mixture of judgment, desire. atavism, yearning, day dreaming and impulse." Why not, he asks, "throw in a little judgment as to method, just to rise above the average." With all of which we do not agree. We do not, many of us at least, yearn for thk. country because we migrated from the country in some urban movement nor do most of U3 desire to take to the woods "because some remote ancestor dwelt in a tree." While we are not with Mr. Bryan, in this as with a number of othef ', things, we do not claim a tree dwell ing ancestor. Our ancestrial anthro poid strode the surface of the earth; and picked out caves and holes, was rather averse to woods. He slunk about in the open, to avoid a surprise attack. Most of us seek In vacations a change of some sort from the hum drum and care and irk and dule and teen of the daily grind. We wish, tho we may not need, a rest, a loaf, even if we have no soul to "invite." We should not pick out a resort where we had even a chance of struggle with Dr. Evans bed bugs, wood tick3, poison ivy, snakes and mosquitoes. Rather than face this flora and fauna, we would remain as quietly as possible in our hutch in the city and strickly meditate the thankless muse." we might find the greatest and best change and variety for us in some bustling city, or some great hill, "cited to the top, crowded with culture." :o THE POISON DBINK Wood alcohol now is killing 260 and blinding 44 Americans a year. This is the report of the Russell Sage Foundation's national committee for prevention of blindness. The figure, however, covers only the known cases. The unknown victims of .wood al cohol number many more. Many relatives and friends of vic tims try to conceal the real cause of death, and in some cases succeed, says the committee's secretary, Mrs. Winifred Hathaway. Obviously, she is right. For more than half of the 130 fatal cases of wood alcohol poisoning, reported to her committee in the first six months this year, were in three states New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Smuggling hooch is common along the seacoast. As you get farther in land, the liquor keeps getting harder to secure which means worse qual ity. , In Pennsylvania the known deaths due to wood alcohol last year to talled 61. Figuring on a population basis. wood alcohol deaths in all the states combined would be around 800 a year. Including unreported cases, wood alcohol's death toll probably exceeds 1,500 a year. The national government stands convicted of criminal negligence, in not taking real steps' to prevent the use of wood alcohol as a beverage. Any high" grade chemist could find a way. Before manufacturers wer permitted to super clarify wood al cohol "for use in the arts and pro fessions,." any one with a sense of smell could detect wood alcohol a yard away "Now it is refined until, in adulter ated form, it smells like" Old ken- PUBLIC SCHOOL SPIRIT Behold yon simple build ing near the crossing of the village road. It is small and of rude construction, but stands in a pleasant and quiet spot. A magnificent old elmi spreads its broad arms above and seems to lean toward it, as a strong man bends to shelter and project a "small child. A brook runs through the meadow near, and hard by there is an orchard but the trees have suffered much and bear no fruit, ex cept upon the most remote and Inaccessible branches. From within its walls comes a busy hum, such as you may hear in a disturbed beehive. Now peep through yonder window and you will see a hundred children, with rosy cheeks, mis chievous eyes and demure faces, all engaged, or pre tending to be so, in their little lessons. It is the pub lic school the free, the common school provided by law; open to all; claimed from the community as a right, not accepted as a bounty. Here the children of the rich and poor, high and low, meet upon perfect equality, and commence un der the same auspices the race of life. Here the sus tenance of the mind is serv ed up to all alike ,as the Spartans served their food upon the public table. Here young Ambition climbs hi3 little ladder, and boy ish Genius plumes his half fledged wing. From among these laughing children will go forth the men who are to control the destinies of their age and country: the statesman whose wisdom Is to guide the senate the poet who will take captive hearts of the people and bind them together with immortal song the philos opher who) boldly seizing upon . the elements them selves, will compel them to bis wishes, and, through new combinations of their primal laws by some great discovery, revolutionize both art and science. -Sergeant Smith Prentis3.

The Chinese would solve the prob- lem i by beheading any one selling wood alcohol for a beverage. That, of course, i3 not human enough for us. We Americans prefer to spare jhe bootlegger and kill the victim. Uncle Sam should -look into this matter. Life has to be made fool proof for a certain per cent of the population. i . . . -:o: STBONG PEESONALITY An able scientist describes elec tricity as the most mysterious force, ile is wrong. Personality is the most mysterious force. No one can accurately define per sonality, for it varies. Man, woman or child each ha? a different per sonality for each person met. Watch yourself and observe the change in your attitude or personality, in talk ing to various people. NOTICE of Application for License to Oper ate a Pool and Billiard Hall.
