I Peter 4:11. :o: Davis and Bryan. :o: The democrats made no mistake, if it did take a long time. 0:0 As Davis said in his speech last night, the opposition might say the convention had made a poor choice, but they couldn't say it was done hastily or without due deliberation. : c 1 I'lattsmouth is on the map and the present year will see a greater advance in the old town than ever before. Let's all boost for every move ment under way to make the old town grow. -0:0- 7he flkrs who were to have pil- med the Amundsen airplanes over . the polar regions are terribly disap pointed that the expedition has been ; given up. But there certainly are j other ways of committing suicide if) they are so determined a3 that. j :o: i The old saying that "Politic makes strange bed-fellows" seems to have hel l good in New York. A few traitors got in and nearly rpoiled it for the rest, but calm judgment fin- j ally came in for its inning and then j the situation cleared up rapidly. i :o: ! The British government has drop- I i pod tl'.e idea of tunneling under the English channel on the ground that it would not justify itself for de fensive purposes. Has it occurred to the government to pay the cost by a silver offering from seasick trav elers? :o: A reader complains thut the hn- j rr.orous writers at New r ork ire joking too Aiiuoh on th long lura-i tion of the meeting. They're not joking they're very serious about it. And besides, what else has there been to the convention besides length? :o: The last thing before adjournment of the convention this morning was the resolution naming Senator Walsh chairman of the committee to notify Davis of his nomination, and Pat Harrison chairman of the committee to notify Governor Bryan. Certainly well deserved honors. :o:- At nearly 12:30 this morning 2:3o New York time the welcome words. "I move you we adjourn sine die" came to radio listeners and as the delegates filed out of what Ring Lardner says has been sarcastically called "the garden" the band played "Home Sweet Home." :o: The radio announcer said William Jennings Bryan's face was wreathed in smiles when Brother Charlie gal loped home with the nomination on the first ballot, as great as could be expected if the old war horse were actually being informed of his own election to the presidency. 0:0 The delegates joined with the New Yorkers in singing the Tamany hall campaign song, "East Side, West Side" just before Governor Smith addressed the convention. And then, how they cheered the governor as he bespoke party harmony and unity for the successful nominee. :o: Every big party leader who was mixed up in the nominating wrangle has publicly signified his intention of supporting the ticket. What better proof is needed of the assertion that although the democrats may fight among themselves they will all be found fighting together for the prin ciples handed down by the immortal Thomas Jefferson, than the foregoing spontaneous declaration? :o: With one of the best platforms ever formulated by a national con vention and candidates backed by the east and the west, the democrats have a promising future this year, j Feople are disgusted with republican maladministration of office and will not support its continuance. LaFol-j lette will get some of the erstwhile1 republican support, but a good share j of it will be found voting for the! progressive nominees wnen the tail election rolls around unless we are sadly mistaken. PES YEAR IN ADVANCE ,t,t,T.T..T,T..T,1. 4 4 if LINES TO REMEICBES f In this world, it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich. Beecher. f -fff4fffffff f 0:0 " The bathing girl doesn't care a wrap. -0:0- The older a girl gets the more her candy costs. :o: Much grafting has been done on family trees. -:o: for Some marry for better or worse and some for board. :o: Loud bathing suits keep the men from going to sleep. :o: It doesn't pay to appear smart un less you can prove it. :o: We like winter better than sum mpr because flies don-t. Don't borrow trouble. Get married anJ have some of your own .Q. a newspaper can tell the story, but it can't administer the law. :o: For interior decoration a slice of cold watermelon has its advantages. 0:0 Many a woman standing in front of a sllP window has merely stopped to reflect. 0:0 'Many a man makes the mistake of irying to collect before he delivers the goods. :o: The world seems to be peaceful only during those months having a "z" in them. :o: Americans do not like to swap horses in. mid-stream. Platttaouth is truly American. : o: The middleman may think he's doing middling well when he strikes a happy medium. :o: People who know an aviator al ways grab the paper to see if he was the one who fell. 0:0 An excellent way to avoid a grade crossing accident is to get killed by a burglar at home. :o: We haven't been to the movies this week yet so all the clirs we know are old ones. -:o:- Some write long letters homo about the fun they are having not giving them time to write. :o: When the swimming pool is full of bobbed heads, it looks like an im mense cabbage patch. :o: Some of our farmers are becom ing so well educated they can't tell when it is going to rain. :o: The June husband tells us that he would like to sec a comb without any hair in it just once more. :o: Some people seem to think the world is a menace to civilization and should be destroyed at once. 0:0 Hound dog3 sit around and howl at the mcon. Calamity howlers sit around and howl at nothing. ;o: It is time to decide where we are going on our vacations besides broke. That's a foregone conclusion. 0:0 The smallest things on earth may be the parts of an atom, but the two smallest things are electric fans. -:o: Good looking girls wearing sleeve less dresses are excellent advertise ments for smallpox vaccinations. -:o: You see a lot of fathers going around these daj-3 with untrimmed hair because they have to pay for haircuts for all the other members of the family first. Well Digging snd Cleaning We are prepared to sink wells, clean wells or do any kind of well work J. W. Hobson & Son Wedding showers are now in or der. Who comes next? :o:- nnrin wvdnesdav. July 16th. Do not forget the date, please. :o:- What next on the program for en- tertainment? Bargain Wednesday, eh? -:o: The cool nights may not be so good for corn, but they are fine for sleeping. :o: When the votes are counted next November Cal and Charley will be found short. That's our surmise. :o: Bear in mind Bargain Day next Wednesday. July 16th. Don't fail to be on hand early and get the best :o: Tins is also the season when fried chickens are ripe, and town people greatly enjoy visiting in the coun try. n The ideal husband is the one who savs: "Go ahead and do it. You are the one who has to wear your hair, anyway." :o: It seems the ill feeling engendered in the New York convention wasn't more than half as bad as reported. We hope so. :o: In this election year, too many politicians hear the echoes of their own voices and think it is the people calling them. 0:0 If it were a crime to rob people of sleep a lot of folks who get up with the chickens to mow the lawn would now be in jail. :o: A mouse in the room is a small thing to frighten a woman. So is a tack in the road a little thing to scare an autoist. :o: Time for picnics. Get your baskets ready. The ants are standing around waiting for something to nibble at. Bring on the pie and cake. :o: The name of Christiana, Norway, is to be changed to Olso. Can't some thing be done now with Copen hagen and Constantinople? 0:0 It would seem that too many dark horses aren't good either. Simply an other case where "Enough's enough and too much is too much." :o: Senator LaFollette announces from Washington that he has nothing to pay. Which is perhaps a pretty rad ical stand evcu for Mr. LaFollette. :o: : The results in the Mexican elec tion will not be known to the public for many weeks. But it is suspected the government has advance infor mation. :o: We doubt not that Charley Bryan will make an efficient vice president as he has or is making one of the best governors that the state has ever had. Shake, governor, shake. :o: We select representatives for the job and give them the authority to do the job. If we are not willing to do this let U3 abandon the repre sentative system in the management of party affairs. :o: The long deadlock in the demo cratic convention also has delayed the republican campaign plans, but there is no reason to believe the re publican leaders find the delay par ticularly irksome. :o: Ex-Governor James M. Cox, of Ohio, is a man after our own heart. In victory or defeat, he is always a democrat. He is not an old man, by any means, and may apcend the topmost round of the political lad der yet. :o: John W. Davis, while not our choice for the democratic nomination, by any means, is now our choice for president. He is one of the ablest men in America today, and the na tional affairs will be safely handled under his administration. The prosperity of a town Is some thing like the Arkansaw Traveler's famous roof when it doesn't have it, boosting is needed; when it does, nothing is needed. But the reverse is generally the case, and you hear more talk about the town with it than the one without. :o: Young women throughout the country will form "stew pan" bri gades to raise funds in their respec tive communities to carry on the candidacy of their idol, Senator La Follette of Wisconsin for the presi dency. Instead of passing the hat, they will pass the stew pan. 0:0 Governor Al Smith's address to the convention done more to bring back party harmony than anything accomplished in the past two weeks. Say what you will, Al is a good loser, and he'll be found with his coat off In the coming campaign doing his utmost for party success. Can as much be said of all the disappointed favorite sons? HOW TO MAKE HIM DUMB It's a wonder children ever ac- eoinpnsn anytning wnen mey grow up, considering how they have "Don't do that" and "Don't do this" dinned into them all through babyhood and early youth. ! It's bad psychology on the part of (parents, this endless stream of !"Don"ts." It leaves a lasting im pression on the young developing mind generates a tendency to draw back and hesitate whenever instinct oronipts the child to take the initia tive. Take a baby prowling into every thing. This isn't a spirit of mis chief, as most people believe. Rather, it's a manifestation of the inquisitive instinct that prompts to investiga tion, discovery and progress. The child approaches the un known. He wants to learn. His brain craves knowledge of the things that have attracted his eye. Just as he reaches for new knowledge, he is startled by "Tut, Tut" or "Mamma spank." A child naturally cannot be allow ed to pry into everything. Nor can he be permitted to tear the house down and wreck its furnishings to gratify his curiosity. But when he exhibits interest in something that has never attracted him before, his larxy parent should join mm and assist in tne explora tion. Encourage him to "do" instead of curbing his every move with a don't." "Do" makes a doer. "Don't" plants the seed of timid ity and laziness. When a lad with a tool chest be ins rawing up furniture, it's usual ly because his father hasn't given him boards and suggested that he try to build something. Children are extremely susceptible to suggestion. "You bad boy" repeat edly spoken to a child, implants in him a belief that he really is bad. Later he decides that he might as well have the game as the name. A great many children can be made good simply by drumming into them the convincing statement that they are good. Childre nhave a highly developed instinct for believing what they are told. This confidence can be capital ized. :o: WHY SO HOT? The greatest show on earth has set up canrns.' - The barkers are all set for a gate crashing business, throat lozenge3 at hand. Two, and possibly three rings will be in simultaneous operation. The American people are choosing a president. The most amazing po litical phenomenon under the sun is open for inspection. The hullabaloo and excitement present and to come remind us of a story. A certain peanut politician of an older day was invited during a presidential campaign to view the heavens through a telescope. He did movie houses when out for an even so, picking out a particularly bright jing's enjoyment, star within the field of vision and In-1 :o: nooently asked its distance from the 1 earth. "About 300 light years," replied the astronomer, adding that a light year was calculated on the basis of light's velocity, a matter of some IS 0.0 00 miles a second. "And is that the end of the uni verse?" asked the visitor in aston ishment. "No," came the reply, "there are thousands of stars more distant beyond that one. In fact, no one knows how deep the uni verse is." "Say, how long- has this thing been going on?" asked the gentle man, who thought the order of the universe depended on his party's tri umph at the polls that year. "Oh mil lions of years at least," came the re sponse. "Gosh!" said the awed regular, "I guess it don't make such a heck of a difference whether Bryan or Taft is elected." So it is! The tumult and the shouting will die in November. When the captains and the kingpins depart, the world will run on about the same as usual. As Emerson's tree said to the perfirvid biped passing beneath it: "Why so hot, little man? Why so hot?" A little humor, if you please, dur ing the coming months. And an oc casional look at the stars. :o:- Newspapers during the past week have been printing photographs of goods, compared with 164 millions sent to them by telephone from the ' in the corresponding five months of convention. The pictures are very last year. good. It is remarkable that any j Farm buying power right now is kind of photographic likeness should an especially good backlog for city be transmitted as quickly as a dis- industries. Common sense should in patch, but it is being done. It is duce the city man to do everything no longer a theory, but a fact, and possible to keep that backlog in good the argument ends. :o:- We shouldn't be surprised it the returning delegates wore spats, car- t ied canes and prefaced all their re- marks with "Now, when I lived in New York ." NOISE MEANS NOTHING As a school for college yell lead ers a modern political convention is an admirable institution. It has got to the point where a demonstra-' tion figures In the campaign budget of candidates the same as stamps I and ice water for headquarters. There are captains to be hired to herd the shouting hordes about. There are bands to be employed, sirens, tom-toms, rattles, whistles, opera singers, steamboat whistles, ambulance alarms, fire gongs, police signals, cowbells, honkers, squeakers, tootlers, twangers, boomers, bongers and heaven only knows what other means of assault upon the eardrums of mankind. Silence is not merely broken it is murdered. And all this is a demonstration, to be bought by the head or by the hour. In Europe a demonstration is a riot that knows what it wants. The definition will cover the outbreaks at the New York convention. What a European would think of them, however, would probably be about as interesting as anything we could consider with regard to the matter. The hired wailers at an Oriental fun eral or the priestly howlers engaged in frightening away the evil spirit of voodooland are enlightment and re strained personalities compared to the catterwauling bedlam that we have professionalized in our conven tions. And what does it all mean? It means simly that somebody believes that politics is conducted superficial ly by tools. It means that men who presume themselves capable of being president of the United States acqui esce in the preparation of carefully staged artificial noise on the theory that the side that bellow3 loudest will ballot most successfully. In short, if your friends can roar more and roar longer than some body else's friends, then you are better fitted to be chief magistrate of the country of Washington, Lin coln and Wilson. When a man is enthusiastic in your behalf, he may say so, and if a great many are for you there may go up a mighty shout Therefore, hire the shouting and it will be supposed that a great many are for you. On that supposition you will ride into power. This is the sort of thing that soon disgusts the public. It tends to dig its own grave. A real and spontan eous acclaim cannot be repressed. An unreal and goose-stepping ovation has all the merit and attractiveness of a shotgun wedding. If we are going to put it on such a basis as that, we ought at least protect its amateur status, make a straight-out class rush or "prom" of it and let the best gang of rah rah boys carry off the honors. Thcre'd be something fair and square about that, even if it is all nonsense, anyhow. Some day, however, America might happen to grow up and pick its presidential candidates with as much seriousness and thoughtfulness as it displays in the choice between two different DIV0BCE INCREASES In 1S97 one American marriage in every 17 wound up in divorce. Now the record is one in every seven. Six marriages are successful to every marriage that ends in a divorce de cree. Broadly speaking, of course, for not all of the six marriages are happy unions. Marriage is the most important de cision ever made by the average per son. It should never be rushed into on sudden impulse. Love is apt to sweep people off their feet. Calm de liberation pays. Marriage in which the age of the woman at the time of the wedding is under 20, and the man five or more years older, are seven times more apt to terminate in divorce than other marriages. This is shown by investigations conducted by Profes sor Hart of Iowa State University. Youth is impulsive. Youth also is inclined to scoff at the advice of! other people. Where parents oppose marriages, it's usually for the good of their child involved. Listen and ; , reason, young people. All they want is your happiness assured. :o:- FABMEBS BUYING Farmers are buying more than in 1923. From the first of the year to June 1, the two largest mail order houses sold 154 million dollars worth shape. The prosperity of the city man depends considerably on the prosperity of the farmer. :o: ; We hate to lose our governor the position which Charles W. Bryan ,is so ably filling.
