BATES, Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE $2.00 PES YEAE IN ADVANCE THE CURSE OF OPPRESSION Surely oppression maketh a wise man made; and a gift destroyeth the heart. Ecclesiastes 7:7. -:o:- A sheik is a man wnose coat la pels wear out first. :o: Sometimes it is best to be sure you are right and then stop. :o: It is better to hare had a platonic friendship than never to have loved at all. :o: A wise man never makes faces at read-headed girls or bites a mule on the ankle. -:o:- Two can either live on love or soak their old love letters in water and sell it for syrup. :o: The price of gasoline in Platts mouth is trying to set a new stand ing high jump record. :o: A girl usually closes her eyes when you kiss her because she likes to imagine you are someone else.' :o: There are many arguments in fa vor of matrimony, the best two being an old bachelor and an old maid. -o:o- The Sand Cave story is a hoax, ac cording to a story from a man down in Kansas, who claims to be Collins, himself. :o: Once asbestos curtains were used in case the theater caught afire; now they are used in case the show Is too hot. :o: When you begin to think the world can't do without, remember that the seven wonders were con structed without your aid. :o: If you are driving your auto around town without a new 1925 license you may as well get ready to spend' a" period in jail, for sooner or later you will get caught. :o: I Thinking comes easier, says Ar-' thur Brisbane, when the head is tilt ed downward of hanging. Confirm ing our impression that as thinker Arthur is a good trapeze artist. j :o: If modern mothers would spend ' less time on bridge and man jongg and more on applied psalmistry, our modern youth would stop," look and listen at more of life's railroad cross ings. :o: Saturday was the warmest Febru ary 7 since 18 SO, according to the weather records. Also, we discover from the same records that February 29 of last year was the warmest since 1920. :o: However, we still have hopes that congress will propose an amendment to the constitution, with plenty of teeth in it, prescribing what we shall begin breakfast with. It is high time that the nation take a deter mined stand as between grapefruit and cereal, and if congress will pro pose an organic law on the subject we will heartily support it. :o: ' Dr. Du Yu says that modern life seems to be simply a mosaic of yeast, correspondence schools, five foot shelves, bridge, mah jongg, sport roadsters, petting parties, bootleg gers, cross-word puzzles, movies, sex dramas, rewriting the Bible, can't do it laws, radio and golf. Think tanks he says, have been put in the jung heap with ong-horse shays and the acetylene head lamps. .magazine advertisements carry pictures of strong men with huge muscles bulged out together with the information that for a neat sum any puny, flabby and undersized man- can in a few weeks, have the strength and health of a second Samson, if he but follows directions and "puts up the cash," of course. Such ads are no doubt misleading, for common sense should teach anyone that it is impossible in a three-room cottage. :o: This must be a degenerate age, af ter all. A few" days ago the staid old Associated Press started a story in this giddy fashion: "Hope came with the dawn to Sand Save." The plain, unvarnished story about the unfortunate man pinned in a cavern by an enormous rock, with a small army working frantically to rescue him. Is more thrilling than any mo- tion picture ever screened. It doesn't need the movie sub-title supplied by?to keep the stuff in his his pockets the Associated Press correspondent, The Platte river is on Its regular annual rampage. :o: . If it isn't Collins in Sand Cave, then who is it? Love makes the world go around when it should be asleep. :o:- It appears the parole grafters also have been bleeding Kansas. :o: Stock shipments seems to be very heavy throughout Nebraska. ! :o: Birthington's Wash 'day will soon be here. Shed your dirty linen. :o: When a woman gets the blues she wants all to join in the pastime. :o: The Sarpy-Douglas annexation bill Jias been dumped by the committee. :o: There are two sides to every ques tion, -both of which may be wrong. :o: The banks were all closed yester day in honor of Lincoln's birthday. :o: They even Bible times, virgins. had oil scandals in Look at the foolish -:o:- A Yale professor finds the cost of living has advanced two points, but it is still worth the price. :o: Temperament in a prima donna is what she was spanked for when she was little or should have been. -:o: Italy pays debt to the United States contracted during 1928. Now come on, France, with what you owe us. :o: There is no use in trying to main tain a national government that doesn't take proper cognizance of our daily affairs. :o: Maybe the K. K. K. is going to try its hand at cleaning up Omaha. They had their warnings out on Wednesday night. :o: A sense of humor can be accurate ly gauged by the length of time it takes for someone's disagreeableness to become merely funny. :o: The short, dry cough heard in a theater or a church, is clear indica tion that the air is too dry. Or the sermon. Or the play. Or the person coughing. -:o:- One thing the American woman fears: She is afraid to be different. If the rest go out in freezing weather with low shoes and shivering shins, that is what she must do or die of shame. A woman wrote a letter to Presi dent Coolidge asking him about the proper kind of dress to wear to the inaugural ball. We are not only place at which the citizenry fires its questions. :o: : Honesty is a lovely policy, and virtue is a noble reward fr itself, but after all, perhaps one important reason why people pay their bills is to pave the way for running more bills later. :o: There is something more than static that worries a radio fan. For instance, the talkative flapper at a radio party that tries to out-talk the loud speaker when the program is coming in fine. :o: During repairs to the Zion City broadcasting station the magnet was left exposed and stopped every clock in town. For a little while Zion was as far behind the times as even Over seer Voliva wants to see it. -:o:- Another difference in the times is observed In the telegrams papa re ceives from his newly married chil dren. In the old days his telegram read, "Just married; very happy." Nowadays it reads: "Just married; sent check." Folks should be cautious nowadays aDout nelleving everything they hear. The high officials at Wash ington had hardly finished wishing us all a happy new year when the income tax blanks were mailed out to the ultimate consumers. : :o: , . There seems to be just a ,littl doubt as to the necessity of a con stitutkmal amend men t to keep the modern youth from working himself to death. Some have opined that i what is really needed is something .tram wonting. A FALLEN ZEALOT The blow has fallen on the frowsy head of Leon Trotzky; he is down and doubtless out. Denounced by all his important colleagues as an ene my of bolshevism, this supposedly arch-bolshevist is deprived of all par ticipation in affairs of state and re duced to the status of a mere bol shevist private citizen. Than which as the saying goes, there could be no status humbler or more private. For a long time after they deter mined to get rid of Trotzky the new powers of sovietism did not dare to attack him openly. They said his health was poor; they removed him from active command of the Russian army; they immured in an alleged sanitarium; but they did not deprive him of his dignities as one of Rus sia's leaders. Little by little they grew braver as Trotzky refrained from striking back. Little by little through the most insidious propa ganda, they poisoned the minds of the Russia masses and even succeed ed in dulling the enthusiasm of the army for the man who made the army. Then, when it was quite safe. they suddenly jumped into the open. declared Trotzky an enemy of bol shevism, deprived him of all honors. and practically branded him a traitor. One reads the charges, now sent out somewhat in detail, and one gets nowhere. There are many words. but they mean little or nothing. After having perused all that Zino- vieff and his all-powerful clique have to say one remains with the feeling that Trotzky has been felled because he was too big; he has been humil iated because his services in the cause of bolshevism were so notable that they obscured the services of lesser men. To be serviceable to bolshevism is not a great merit as the world sees it, but it should be a merit in the eyes of bolshevists. "Without the work Trotzky did, bolshevism might not even be alive today. So while the world may not admire the always bombastic ridiculous man, it has still less admiration for the envious rivals who have laid him low. :o: OWNED BY THE PUBLIC Whatever affects the railroads af- fects the whole economic structure of the country, because nearly every citizen is either directly or indirect ly a holder of railway securities, C. H. Mark ham, president of the Illi nois Central system, said in his Feb ruary statement to the public. There are approximately 1,800,000 direct holders of railway securities, while the ownership interest of many more millions of persons is rep resented by the holdings of insurance companies and savings banks, both of which are among the largest hold ers of railway securities. More than $1 out of every 5 in vested as a reserve behind each of the 50,000,000 life insurance poli cies in force in this country is in vested in railway bonds. Likewise the 39,000,000 savings banks deposi tors in the United States have their deposits guaranteed in part by rail way securities. Mr. Markham cited these facts to show that most of the people of this country have an ownership interest in the success or failure of our rail roads. He contends that the carriers are well established in the confidence of the public today partly because of the excellent service they have been performing and partly because the wide extent to which railway se curities are distributed among the people is becoming more generally known. The truth of the matter is that we have public ownership of the rail roads in the United States, which is far more satisfactory in every way than government ownership. And in view of the fact that the rail roads are publicly owned, the public should insist that its property be given a square deal. EARNEDiNC0MES We do not know whether it is true in Plattsmouth, but over the country the first individual tax pay ment for 1924 reveal such ignorance of the law that the Internal revenue bureau has issued a statement warn- ine taxpayers not to overpay. It Rftd Bird Poultrv Yards Reserve your hatching space now in units of 125 eggs at 3 Mt cents per egg. - Will start incubator Feb ruary 23 rd. Order your baby chicks early to avoid disappoint ment. E. F. GRYBSKY 1018 North 11th St. Phone 399-7 Plattsmouth I-l-I-I-I'I-I-I-I-K-I-I-'H-I-I' further calls attention to -certain provisions of the law which have never been applicable before. These new provisions draw a dis Unction between incomes that are earned, and unearned. Incomes from salaries and wages are earned; those from investments or profits in busi ness are unearned. But for the pur pose of easy administration all in comes up to $5,000 are treated as earned, even though much of It may come from profits in business. Al net incomes above $10,000 are treat ed as unearned even though the sal aried income alone is above $10,000. And the new rate not only cuts the rate by 25 per cent on all incomes, but for earned incomes it makes s further,cut of 25 per cent. Thus the wage and smaller sal aried income taxpayer will find in the law very" substanttial relief in deed. It is evidently greater than many of them have come to expect They have probably been more or less misled by Secretary Mellon's dis satisfaction with the new revenue bill because it did not make special reductions in surtax rates in un earned incomes. Mr. Mellon still considers the new law hardly a tax reform, but the great mass of Income taxpayers, who are now paying their bills will not agree with him. They should, however, know the provisions of the new law, and not over-pay in the settlement of their taxes. The federal government does not want more from you than you actually own. :o: TOO MUCH CHAPLIN The morning press dispatches bring another story about the es trangement between Charley Chaplin and his bride. It is high time that people thru- out the nation rise up and give a positive assurance to the newspaper correspondents at Los Angeles that we don't care a continental cuss whether Charley Chaplin is living with his bride or without her. Honestly, we don't care. We have never met either Chaplin or his wife, and their purely domestic affairs are of no concern to us. Of course, it is going to take more than our unsupported word to con vince Los Angeles correspondents that this sentiment is largely pre dominant in all parts of the country. They seem to be of the unalterable opinion that no American man or woman can digest breakfast without first learning whether or not the custard pie comedian spent the night out. Nevertheless, we assert, and dare anybody to contradict it, that it matters not how Charley is getting along with his wife, or how drunk he may get between sunset and sun rise. FIRE WITH FIRE When 15,000 men and women cheer themselves hoase over the com munistic fulminations of Charles E. Ruthenberg, as they did last Sunday n Madison Square Garden, it is a re flection cot so much on them as on America as a whole. There is something wrong about a system of popular education that per mits so many people to think crook edly. Communists here and abroad have brought to a high state of organiza tion their destructive. illogical teaching. What are the sane mem bers of society doing to counteract the effort? How long can organized govern ment stand against this underground warfare If it refuses to employ more than passive resistance? The slate may put occasional com munists in prison; that does little good. The crown of martyrdom is often an emensive headDiece for those who force others to wear It. There are schools which teach dis loyalty, and the soap box rostrums of their graduates are a common fea ture of urban landscapes. Why not schools to teach loyalty, American ism, the indispensability of organ ized government; the folly and fu tility of bolshevism, as demonstrated in Russia? Emmi Goldman would make a good principal for such a school, if one could be sure Bhe did not change her mind about Russian conditions in crossing the ocean. She has seen the bloody "glories' of the regime which Ruthenberg worships and Madison Square Garden applauds. Ruthenberg and men like him be long in prison. But that will not curb communism in this country. The state must take itself more seri ously. It must be willing to fight the pre of ignorance with the fire of reason. -:o:- WHERE IT HURTS MOST "I don't mind failure I can face the - world on that but I hate to give up the things I'm used to," said an Ohio man who found his fortune swept away. ' This Is sot the usual way of stating the case, but we do not doubt, that the Columbus busi- I UC30 Uiau o v v those who content themselves with the stock phrase, VI don't mind giv ing up the things I've had, but I hate to be a failure." The matter of mode of living reaches down into our lives more than we realize. We get ac customed at certain things and we look forward to them from day to day. The standards we maintain for a year become a part of us. If, sud denly, we have to break molds it is like giving up lite itself. All of which suggests that we might with profit look more- closely into the way of our daily living. A little indulgence today is just for the day, we think. Repeated tomorrow, it becomes a Dart of us. Standards set too high for our bank account must be maintained because we have come to demand those standards. Maybe It could be put more graph ically this way: A man has two ac counts to watch: one concerns his financial balance, the other his mode of living. :o: Tonight is the last chance you will have to see Honest Old Abe, the martyred president. It is easily worth going many miles to see. NOTICE TO CREDITORS The State of Nebraska, Cass coun ty, ss. In the County Court. In the matter of the estate of Caroline Johnson, deceased.
