THE REBUKE OF THE WISE
It is better to hear the rebuke of
the wise, than for a man to hear
the song of fools. For as the crack
ling of thorns under a pot, so is the
laughter of the fool; this also is van
ity. Ecclesiastes 7:5-6.
:o:
The bad thing about being bad is
it makes you feel so badly.
:o:
Apparently the motorists of this
country have never taken experience
seriously.
:o: -
At least Coolidge and Borah are
learning to sit around a table with
each other.
:o:
A big town is an awfu! place. All
the building3 are so tall the scenery
is sideways.
:o:
About in millions are spent yearly
to keep u dry and as much spent
daily to ketp us wet.
:o:
Jack Dempsey says he is not go
ing to get married, but he certainly
should have a sparring partner.
:o:
American leadership in interna
tional affairs has been re-established
in the golden phrase, "must pay."
:o:
"Who said there was no value in
cross-word puzzles? They have re
duced the demand for current fiction.
:o:
The sale of underslung pipes took
a big jump recently, but we haven't
noticed any increase in the wearing
of skull caps.
:o:-
Vour luck may not be bad, but i i
Georgia a policeman has been shut
in the neck, again.
:o:
A professor says girls' schools
don't teach much. We say they do.
Any graduate can tell you two and
two make a bridge game.
:o: '
Senator Swanson has discovered
that the democratic party is not
dead, but is merely sleeping until the
proper time to wake up.
:o:
Another interesting tax reduction
theory is being tried out in Riga,
Latvia, where iey have taken lately
to shooting the collectors.
:o:
They are booming a woman for
speaker of the Virginia house, but
where is the house in which she is
not the speaker now?
:o:
Another survivor of the light bri
gade has passed away. Into the jaws
of death rode the Six Hundred Thou
sand. :o:
Now Mount Iztaccihuatl, in Mex
ico, is in eruption. "Name of a
name!" as the French say we
should think it would be.
:o:
The government has brought suit
under the Sherman law to dissolve
the peanut trust. Politicians of a
certain variety probably will see
cause for alarm in this action.
:o:
The first thing Mr. Coolidge
knows he will wake up and find Col.
George Harvey running Washington.
The. Colonel is already telling the
French ambassador how he is doing.
:o:
It is said the Chinrse military of
ficers, who were "Christmas," shot
and killed nearly 500 soldiers for
looting. Well, the world is big
enough to hold many varieties of
Christians.
:o:
When pi 'hibition went into effect,
there wert- 200 million quarts of
whiskey in government bonded ware
houses. Now there are only 80 rail
lion quarts. That is plenty for me
dicinal purposes. But the deceased
supply means there is less to be
stolen or withdrawn from bond by
permits forged or acquired by bribe.
The liquor supply increasingly gets
vm a moonshine basis except along
the coast and borders where smug
glers ars busy.
:o:
The cfo3-word puzzle does not
look good to us, after spending some
days and hours and minutes, you get
bnc. And what have you gained?
Absolutely nothing. Why there is
more glory In fin-ling: out why a
chicken crosses the toad or ascer
taining the correct age oif Ann. "A
3-letter word meaning balmy and
the home of a prince." Of course,
that's all wrong. In the first place
it is a word of four letters and all
"balmy" fellows --to not go to
"h ."
PES YEAB IN ADVANCE
The years are getting longer, and
30 are the moratoriums.
:o:
Nothing ia a misery unless our
weakness apprehends it so.
:o:
If Japan wants to get even with
us, all she has to do is invent another
game like man jongg.
-:o:-
Wet feet are 6aid to be causing so
much pneumonia. It shouldn't be
hard to give them up.
In Paris, a man only 28 is charged
with robbing 100 homes. Working
too hard will get you.
:o:
A woman shot her husband in
New Orleans. A bachelor is a man
who is afraid of firearms.
:o:
A small town is an awful place.
After midnight you can't find a
thing to do until bedtime.
:o:
Prohibition does some good. An
English poet refuses to come to
America on account of it.
News from Portland, Oregon: A
hen has four legs. That's luck, if
she has to scratch for a living.
:o:
Some people are so lucky. In Kan
sas City a man had his wooden leg
broken instead of his good one.
A man never generates more en
thusiasm than when he is trying to
sell something he has no use for.
o:o
What we seem to need is income
tax collectors as skilful in locating
money as some of our holdup men.
:o:
An undertaker who puts up near
a bootlegger is as wise as a. doctor
who lives near a railroad crossing.
:o:
And why shouldn't Solomon have
been a wise man? Think of all the
mother-in-laws he had to put up
with.
We remember back a few months
ago when It was warm enough to
wash the tub out after you took a
bath?
-:o:-
Protests against the new gasoline
tax won't count unless they can be
heard above the protest against bad
roads.
o:o
Every man cleaves to the doctrine
he has happened upon, as the rock
against which he has been thrown
by tempest.
-:o:-
The country is the nicest place.
By the time j'ou get your radiator
thawed it's too late to go, so you can
sit by the fire.
:o:-
We suppose one thing that helped
convince old Plato that platonic
friendships were possible was that
there were no porch swings in those
days.
:o:
At 7 o'clock Friday night we saw
two autos go down Main street with
out any light in front or back. If
we have laws governing such, let
them be enforced. It is somebody's
duty to watch out for evaders of the
law.
:o:
Statistics show that in proportion
to the number of automobiles driven
fewer pedestrians are being killed.
The explanation likely is that pedes
trians are livelier than they used to
be, in accord with the theory of the
survival of the flittest.
:o:
France continues selling to other
countries more than she buys from
them. This leaves her a snug
amount to the good when she bal
ances the books about 1,397 mil
lion francs in 1924. In 1923 the
foreign trad of France left her
1,463 million francs in the hole, im
ports exceeding exports By that
much. The economic drift is decid
edly toward a condition in which
France will be able to make sub
stantial payments on her war debts.

THE THING'S THE THING
Shakespeare's ' declaration that
"The play's the thing" may be para
phrased by saying, "The thing's the
thing."
This means that the thing of the
moment is the important thing. Let
it be done and over with.
AH great men advise us to pour
our whole soul into what we have to
do and to do it well.
If we do well what we have to do
it is the best preparation for doing
something else.
We cannot sit still and rest upon
what we have already accomplished.
All success is but an open door to
further success. All achievement is
but the preparation for further vic
tory.
We cannot sit still and rest upon
what we have already accomplished
All success is but an open door to
further success. All achievement is
but the preparation for further vie
tory.
We must go on. This is true in
business, in our ideas and in our
theories.
We are in a continual stream, and
when that stream ceases to flow the
very force of it is liable to break us.
The best preparation for future
work is to do work well, which we
have in hand. We do not know what
is in store for us, but we know that
a faithful performance of one task
is the best preparation for another.
The discovery of the law of gravi
tation came to a thoughtful man, to
one who had been thinking about it.
Thousands of people had seen apples
but there was but one Newton.
Columbus discovered America
when he was not looking for it, but
if he had not been looking for some
thing else he would not have found
it.
To immense ourselves in our bus
iness and to do well the thing is in
hand means that opportunity, but is
one that is spent in doing well what
we have to do, and to such a one op
portunity comes.
The right man is the one who is
doing the thing that he had to do
with all his might, and at the same
time has his lightning rod up for
something better.
:o:
FEDERAL IMPERIALISM
News that the child labor amend
ment will probably be defeated by
the state is gratifying, because we
believe that child labor should not
be regulated by the federal govern
ment. We hold that this duty lies
within the province of the states.
For the purpose of determining
the probable action of the states
with regard to the amendment, the
New York World instituted an in
quiry. It supplemented this infor
mation with statements from its cor
respondents and trained political ob
servers in 48 state capitals.
Ratification by 36 states is nec
essary to the adoption of the amend
ment. The legislatures of two states,
Georgia and North Carolina, have re
jected the amendment. So have the
voters of Massachusetts, in a refer
endum. Thus far, Arkansas i3 the
only state that has ratified it. The
governors of 12 states have not yet
approved the amendment and ex
press the belief that their states will
reject it. Eleven governors ex
pressed their disapproval and their
opinion that their states will reject
it. The replies from others are
doubtful, a number of governors re
fusing to declare themselves one way
or the other. The 11 states in which
rejection is indicated with Georgia,
North Carolina and Massachusetts,
makes one more than the required
13 for rejection.
It is interesting to note that the
sentiment adverse to the amendment
is not sectional. The states expected
to ratify the amendment are Arizona,
California, Illinois, Oregon, New
Mexico, Nevada, Wisconsin and
Wyoming. The 11 states in which
rejection is indicated are Alabama,
Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Texas,
Idaho, Vermont, New Jersey, Mary
land, Kentucky, South Carolina.
The movement was originally
str.rted in Massachusetts, presum
ably in order to cut out competition
in industry with cheap child labor
in the south. But the people of
Massachusetts voted against it, and
the opposition is strong in other in
dustrial northern states. The oppo
sition is also strong in the agricul
tural states, on account of the fear
of the farmers that the labor of mi
nors on the farms will be prohibited.
Although some of the oppositibn
is found in groups whose interests
are threatened, yet it is gratifying
to note that much of it is based on
principle. It is founded on senti
ment against the centralizing of
power in Washington and on the
opinion that the regulation of child
labor is properly a state and not a .
federal function.
This Is the ground of our opposi-'
tion to the amendment. The ratifi-!
cation of the amendment would be
another long step In the direction of !
federal centralization of power. It
would ' result in ' the activities of
which, directed from Washington,
would extend to all states. Federal
inspection in all Industries would be
,established, with all the cost and all
the evils experience has shown flow
from federal bureaucracy.
The rejection of the amendment
would check the growth of federal
bureaucracy and would discourage
the tendency to go to the federal
government for remedies for all
evils, real or imaginary. It would
tend to restore the power and func
tion of the states to regulate their
own affairs.
What will the Nebraska legisla
ture do with regard to the amend
ment? We feel assured that a ma
jority of the people of this state are
opposed to federal centralization)
and to federal interference with their
activities.

MAZE IT GENERAL
A West Virginia coal company em
ploy a famed evangelist to conduct
revivals at the mining camp. Tele
graph news says this is an "effort to
raise the standard of morality among
the men by an appeal to right in
stead of my fear of punishment."
Undoubtedly, the solution of many
of our problems is in practical ap
plication of the Christian religion.
How about workers employing
evangelists to conduct " revivals in
private offices of some of the large
corporations in various industries?
Christianity in business begins at
the top.
:o:
The legislature will begin its work
in earnest this week. Let the mem
bers stick to the. work, and not ad
journ every time a lawyer member
desires to go home to attend a law
suit.
