II Corinthians viii, 9. o:o Our idea of a drug on the market is a modern drug store. i o:o Tunctures are so afraid of garages they won't go within miles of them. :o: Being popular doesn't leave you much time for making real friends. :o: Money may not mean anything, but almost everything means money. :o: V,'e don't deny that golf ia a healthy game, but a doctor Is cheap er. o;o Of course being an old bachelor may be all right, but what does he have to brag on? : o Mr. La Folletteis denouncing monopoly but he has got plenty of competition himself. to: "When the round-the-world fliers get bade to Los Angeles they will find It hasn't rained yet. Ireland wants the next Olympic meet to provide an event in brick throwing so she can capitalize her boundry practice. -:o: There are a few more speeders In this old town that need a dose Just like Sanford Short got. Let no guilty man escape! :oi It is said that Senator Norris re fuses to back the G. O. P. ticket in Nebraska. It will be in order now for the G. O. P. to refuse to back Norris don't you think? :o: Diamonds are dirt cheap in Rus sia. So are other precious things human life, for Instance. And that is why foreigners with money don't rush in and buy the diamonda o:o Fanny Hurst says she was a Red when she went to Russia, but she has returned cured. Lucky woman! We have several over there who are cured all right, but they can't re turn. :o: A feature writer on one of the Hearst papers draws a fanciful pic ture of the last man taking his last meal before the earth finishes freez ing 100.000.000 years hence. Don't you wish you knew as much as that bird knows? o:o Secretary Weeks Is convinced from the defense day showing that the na tion could raise an army of two mil lion men on short notice. There is no question about the men, if the war department can only induce con gress to keep enough officers In the regular army to train them. It has not been very successful In doing that so far. :o: In China, the minieter of educa tion Isurging young Chinese schol ars to go to Europe to finish their education, instead of to America. His opinion is that college courses here are too easy. The real education Chinese get in America is not from textbooks, however. Instead. It's the knowledge they pick up of Ameri can institutions. o:o John W. Davis has been noisily welcomed on his western trip. He has spoken to shouting hundreds from the train. He has been seren aded by students, deafened by march ing clubs, assailed by handshaking politicians. All of this ia. normal and gratifying to a candidate. But the thing that is likely to linger longest In his memory, the Incident that will remain most vivid, will be the country dinner at the- Nelson home in Missouri. o:o ,Mr. Davis upon this square-deal platform strikes straight from the shoulder at the existing robber tar iff, which is enormously increasing the cost of living for the Benefit of favored manufacturers. He Is strik ing at the betrayal of public inter ests in Washington during the Hard ing and Coolldge administrattone. He is striking at all the forms, not of wealth gained honestly, but of pred atory wealth, which through lobbies and commissions and official appoint ments, gains advantage of the mss of the people. PEB YEAB IN ADVAJTCl We had almoet rather work than be a politician. :o: Our objection to an old flame is she won't burn your letters. :o: The first sign of fall is when you find overcoats are too high. :o: What could be worse than being in love and having no auto? :o: Get-rich-auiclc schemes won't work unless their originators do. :o: Distance doesn t lend any en chantment when you're out of gas. :o: Blessed are the pure in heart. They don't get on the front pages. :o: Several American girls have ex ercise his royal prerogative and turn them all down. :o: Somehow it is hard to get excited over a war in which the opposing generals are named Chang and Feng. :o: A little boy, asking if he knew who the Prince of Wales was, re plied, "The one that swallowed Jonah." :o: The way Europe won't let us dis arm according to our campaign con venience is down right ungrateful, that's what it is. oo Our estimate of the situation is that the third party will carry all these states which have not hitherto gone republican or democratic. :o Evidently, the plain people of Maine were too busy with their work to go to the polls. It was thus they forfeited victory to the idle plutes. o:o We are glad to learn that Senator Reed, who has been ill so long ia recovering rapidly now, and will be able to do some good work for John W. Davis. -:o; A little while ago they were tell ing us the league was dead and now they're apologizing for not climbing on the band wagon they thought was a hearse. :o: Statisticians are again sending out the warning that the earth ia threat ened with overcrowding. And the last chance to hop oft to Mar3 is rap Idly receding. :o: People by the thousands turn out to see "John W. Davis and a general ovation from town to town all along the railroads over which he travels from one appointment to another. :o: The Nebraska boys will return home in an exceeding happy mood. They got what they mostly went for the 1925 , national American Le gion convention. :o: The Kansas City Star evidently thinks that John W. Davis is a big man and paid several very compli mentary remarks to tin next presi dent of the United States while he was In that city. :o: Some astronomer now say we may have to wait two hundred years before communication with Mcrs is established. Oh, well, if fhat'3 the prospect, we'll drop the project. We can't hang around forever, waiting for something to happen. :o: Another big campaign, European generated, to Induce Uncle Sam to cancel war loans to alliee, ,is about ready to be "sprung." The usual scheme Is for France to "forgive" and so on. Unfortunately, there Is no one to forgive us. ' We'd be left holding the bag.. Money loaned to Europe was raised by Belling Lib erty, bonds. If the loans are can celed, the bonds could only be paid off..by increased taxation. -rot- General Pershing, as. the leader of this country's-' largest and most effective military force, ia thus de nied the place in the public mind which under other circumstances would have been accorded him. But when the military history of this pe riod Is written and the work of Gen eral Pershing Is seen in the right perspective hia service to the nation and to the world will be appraised at its true value. And In the mean time Citizen John J. Pershing will carry on. He retires, he tells us, from the army only. With him to his new work, whatever it may be. he will carry the grateful affections of millions not only in hit own coun try but In Europe. MR. DAVIS' SQUARE DEAL In his Denver speecH, John W. Davis gave a definition of the much abused phrase, "100 per cent Amer ican," which la a classic. Quoting from Jefferson's Declaration of Inde pendence with regard to the Inalien able rights of men, he defined the 100 per cent American as one who believes in "human equality, per sonal liberty and popular sovereign ty." Amplifying the definition, he de fined equal rights as equality under the laws, in which there must be no discrimination between man and man. Equality or opportunity, Dy which every man shall be free to work out his own destiny in life, Ana personal nueny uura uul mean license. It means restraint insofar as the respect for other men's liberty is concerned and "the freeman is he who lives within the circle of his r a J .1 a. S V.A I own ngais auu uuea uui iuu equal rights of his neighbor." Pop ular covereignty means that our gov ernment is and must always remain a government of, for and by the peo pie upon equal terms; that is, of all the people, regardless of sections and classes Upon thi3 foundation of all free eovernment and sound progress. Mr. Davis outlines a sauare-deal program in which there ahall be maintained hones government between the rich and the poor, the capitalist and the waste earner. There shall be no dis- crimination in favor of any man or set of men. Naturally, under this square-deal program he denounces corruption in office and the betraval of Public in- rcr r, hohnif "withv male- factors." He condemns privilege of all kinds and esDecificallv tariff plundering, which enriches the few at the exoense of the many. He condemns any alliance between par- ties and plutocarcy and piratical spoilsman of any kind. WHAT AFTER FIFTY? A writer in The Christian Century inauires how a successful man should spend hia life after the age of 50 and asks such pertinent questions as these: "fihrttilil cnrli tt man larpplv nTlil . . , . . . . .

Why, then, go ahead and accumulate more property? John II. Clarke, late justice of the United States supreme court, attract ed wide comment by retiring in or- der, as he explained, to be free to j perform certain- public services he I had in mind and "to become acquain-lG. ted with hia own soul." He was past I 60 and had no family. I It was the same spirit that actu-1 ated John Sharp Williams, senator I from Mississippi, when he announced I his determination to retire in order! to "loaf, and rest, and read, and In- I vite the soul." I Fifty ia not "old" any more, as it I used to be. Youth and middle age I last longer. But surely there ja no I special merit for any, especially a I well-to-do man with a family In plodding on and "dying in harness," instead of starting, before old age conies to relax, broaden and human- I ize hi3 activities, to cultivate family and friends and books and fine liv- ing generally, and do at his leisure I things long desired but impossible I because of hi3 daily grind.

Unless this lad is kidding the po lice, he is in earnest. In , which event, he appears to have a form of the malady known as graphomania. Graphomania is a definite and recognized form of insanity. Thely victim has "the urge to write," Just as' the kleptomaniac has 'the urge to steal." Unfortunately, the graphomaniac usually turns out nothing but drivel, Still more sadly, he ocasionally finds a market for It. In your reading ; you've encountered some terrible punk 6tuff, which strikes the fancy of lunatics holding editor's Jobs. Magazines get fiction manuscripts by the freight carload. The writing business is extremely overcrowded. Despite this competition there'8 al waya a Bhortage of "the right stuff." Most of the flood of stories come from graphomaniacs. It's debatable whether all writers aren't graphomaniacs,. even the bril liant, capable and successful ones For writers are like other people fundamentally; writing Is a business just as much as selling sausages or measuring cloth; and, to succeed, a man has to be more or less of a mon omanlac on the subject to which he devotes his time Thft hnmn ,rin npTpr nnnp.-irs more fathomless and mysterious than whfin yQU try tQ figure QUt what makes one man select, say, coal f ronr.pl,rrnTine. hla p(Tort on whlle otherg focug burningly on ice, 'oranges, cloth, string, and so on. There's more to it than the fact that the man thinks he can make money out of the commodity that ap peals to him hypnotically. Observe the Webster definition of 'mania": "Violent derangement of niind; specifically, a form of insan Ity marke1 hV emotional exaltation acceleration of the flow of ideas, and motor restlessness. Excessive excite ment or enthusiasm. If that definition doesn't blanket the conventional formulas for sue icesa In life, what does?

Bui the credit of creating the vacancy that made Stone's ap " pointment possible belongs to the " ceuaiB unu particularly iu oeuatur ' Burton K. Wheeler. Coolidge was satisfied with Daugherty and re- pressed his contempt for the expo- sures made by the Brookhart com- ; mittee by calling for Daugherty's I resignation on a technicality. It was wheeler backed by the democrats and progressives in the senate, who ousted the Insufferable Daugherty 1 nnr? mo fn- fVlo ,.,., and made ay for the competent, fair-minded Stone. ! -0:0- GOVERNMENT AS AN EMPLOYER The Bureau of Statistics, Depart ment of Labor, announced In June that cost of living was 69.1 per cent over the 1913 prices," states Luther Stewart, president of the Nation al Federation of Federal Employes "Government workers, even with their bonus of $20 a month, receive a wage of only 15 per cent over their pre - war wages. I cannot go into any department of the government but what some married man with a family to support will ask if there isn't some relief in sight." Little as the people of this coun try like the prospect of increased taxes, they would rather pay more than allow a hard-working class of public servants, such as the mail carriers, less than their due. The mall carriers have a real grievance. Mr. Coolidge's veto of the postal sal- aries biU Is not forgotten; the rail way mail association and other .or ganizations announce a renewed fight for the Kelly-Edge bill.

On December 18, 1887 Mr. Graves was united in marriage with Miss Alice J. Graves, she not changing! her name when marrying. This union was blessed by three children, they being Harry Graves, now residing in Wisconsin; Mrs. Verna Royal and Mrs. Leoda Dirreag, both of Lincoln. When the Union Ledger had been published for about ten months, Mr. Graves had to take it over in 1890 and became its editor and publisher for 25 years making a success of the same, when it was sold to W. H. Browne. During the time Mr. Graves was publishing the Ledger, he was! also attending his law practice. I On January 9th. 1912. his wife sickened and died. This with the children grown and married broke up the household. Mr. Graves came to Union in IS 8 7 and began the prac tice of law.
