Modern theories are fine and interesting, but there are times when a bit of reactionism is positively inspiring. BRYAN THE Sublime as an orator, inspiring as a leader, resourceful as a political warrior, William J. Bryan was greatest as a Christian crusader. He had a simple faith in God, and the secret of his powerin the realm of religion can best be understood by his "Confession of Faith," which he set forth in the following matchless words: "Immortality! Who will estimate the peace which a belief in a future life has brought to the sorrowing? You may talk to the young about death ending all. for life is full and hope is strong, but preach not this doctrine to the mother who stands by the death-bed of her babe or to one who is within the shadow of a great affliction. "If the Father deigns to touch with divine power the cold and pulseless heart of the buried acorn to make it burst forth from its pris on walls, will He leave neglected in the earth thq soul of man, made in the image of his Creator? If he stoops to give to the rosebush, whose withered blossoms float upon the autumn breezes, the sweet assurance of another springtime, will He refuse the words of hope to the sons of men when the frosts of winter come? If matter, mute and inanimate, though changed by the forces of nature into a multitude of forms, can never die. will the spirit of man suffer annihilation when it has paid a brief visit like a royal guest to this tenementof clay? "No, I am as sure that there is another life as I am that I live today!" Yes, Bryan was a crusader, like Elijah of old, and often he cried alone in the wilderness, for His mind was keen as burnished steel. Like molten iron his anger flamed. And burned the traitor who profaned. His love for gain and stood revealed. And in the secrets of his heart Like flowers which bloom in forest glen. He was the most beloved of men To those who, like him, dwelt apart. In spirit from the market place. And crowded halls and scenes of strife And sought the finer, better life And graved the blessings of God's grace. Nor life nor death was aught to him; His splendid purpose stood serene Until he gained the heights supreme With prophet and with seraphim. He held the faith; the path he trod Was rough and thorny, yet he fought Like one by destiny besought. And kept his covenant with Gcd. :o: POPULARITY Is popularity worth striving for? Some people are born with quali ties that attract friendship and lik ing. They go about their business conscientiously and make no attempt to win popular favor. Nevertheless, popular favor comes to them. These are rare creatures. Sometimes tiiey are fortunate and turn their popu larity to gcod account. At other times, not. Others, born without these quali ties, strive to cultivate them for no other purpose than to gain the pleas ures and rewards of popularity. Are such attempts worth while? Political popularity is, of course. rarely worth striving for. The best man that is to say, the men of highest intelligence and the finest character in every community do not go in for practical political poli tics. If they did they would either be unpopular or would lose the fine ness of their character. There are, of course, exceptions to most rules, but, if you take a pains taking survey of the political field in this country over a period of years you will find that the most popular public oCicial was usually inefficient. It is difficult to perform your duty, "though the heavens fall" to remain true to every trust imposed upon you and to exercise justice and economy without the slightest regard for pub lic opinion, and, at the same time achieve popularity. It is easy to be a good fellow. It is also easy to have your best friends locked up for mulcting the public treasury. It is very difficult to do both at the same time. In social life, a person not gifted by nature with those charming traits that attract others, as a magnet at tracts steel, usually gains popularity by the sacrifice of other qualities. Usually it is self-respect that goes by the board. To submit to being bored, to listen to lies or misstatements, or gossip or scandal or what is perhaps worst of all, the ordinary piffle of modern so ciety to put up with this for no other purpose than to be pleasant and to achieve popularity, when you really know better well, it may make the unthinkable believe that you are a fine person, but, in the long run, it is pretty sure to make you think that you are a foolish hyp ocrite. Do not bother about popularity. Be as courteous and as kind and a3 pleasant and as tactful as you can to all whom you meet, but do it for no other purpose than a duty which you owe yourself and your own develop ment. If, beyond that, popularity depends upon a sacrifice, give up the popularity. It is really not worth while. Besides, it rarely lasts long. :o: Plattsmouth is not the only town in Nebraska that has slackened up on business push. The farmers are terribly busy right now and reports from the western part of the state are to the effect that most of the towns are at a dead standstill. :o: One ad that really interests us is an invitation from a bank in a neigh boring city to step in and learn about its new combination checking-saving account plan. If this bank has dis- covered a way for us to combine checking and .saving it has solved our 'high cost of living problem. CRUSADER GOLD PRICES I When England re-established the ; gold standard three months ago her action was acclaimed the most con ! structive development since the adop tion of the Dawes plan. In all prob ability it will prove to be so. ! The immediate effects of the re turn to gold, however, have not been as favorable as the world was led to , expect. Few at that time took into account the likelihood of further sub stantial price .deflation. The paper pound had been stabilized at a point ; not far below gold parity for so long that many believed the forces of post I war deflation in England had already spent themselves, and that the re turn to gold would have little effect on the British level of commodity prices. J The facts, however, were other ,wise. For three months England has ; been experiencing a deflation of i prices which cannot but be related 'to the change in the monetary stand ard. In the meantime, industry and ; trade have been he-dtant because of ! uncertainty as to where prices ulti . mately will he stabilized. A period cf declining is not one in which bus iness plans cr.n safely be laid and contracts for the future accepted. The upward price tendency in this country is distinctly in England's fa vor. If gold prices here move up to meet those of Europe, paper prices there will not have to fall so far. jnor will the adjustments made neces tsary by a changing value standard be iso painful. ! There is no evidence, however, to support the theory that our credit policy has been shaped to facilitate I the process of adjustment to gold abroad. Price increases here have I been affected by crop failure and j world wide changes in conditions of aupply. And in those groups there is yet no indication that the prevail ing price is unfair to the consumer or that the present trend of price will long continue. Crop reports in dicate, on the other hand, that food stuffs are likely to be lower, instead of higher, after the harvest. :o: "The Ten Commandments" is one of the greatest pictures that has ever been shown in Plattsmouth, as the hundreds who have already seen it can testify. It will be shown again tonight and tomorrow night, and it is a grand opportunity for all to see it. ' Messrs. Cloidt and Moore de serve considerable credit for their ef forts in securing this fine and en tertaining picture and the patronage they receive will be an encourage ment for them to get more of the same high class. .T..T..T.

GRYBSKY 1018 N. 11th St Phone 399-J, Plattsmouth I""""""-"i"4"."I""I"i' YOUNG BOB'S CANDIDACY Victor Berger, Wisconsin's social ist, refuses to be enthusiastic over young Bob La Foliette's eandidacy for his father's place in the United States senate. Mr. Berger confesses himself im patient with the "crown prince" idea, and says he knows of no case in history where a great sire was succeeded by an equally great son. Of course, Mr. Berger not only over looks such instances as Philip of Macedon and Alexander and William Pitt, father and son, but he adopts an argument which is beside the point. Young Bob La Follette, in addi tion to the possession of a celebrated name, has much to commend him. As his father's secretary' he became fully conversant with the senate. In fact, his knowledge of that body is declared by one observer to be sur passed only by a few who actually hold seats. As the manager of his father's last campaign he ought to have an excellent understanding of practical politics. He has a winning personality and great earnestness of purpose. He has an abiding love for the memory of his father and a de sire to carry on the policies for which he stood. In numerous cases recently Amer ican voters have shbwn themselves disposed to follow what Mr. Berger refers to as the "crown prince" idea. The widow of the late Congressman Rogers of Massachusetts has just been chosen to occupy her husband's seat in the house. Gov. Nellie Ros of Wyoming was chosen to succeed her husband. Gov. Meriam Fergu son of Texas was elected as a vindi cation of her impeached husband. Mrs. Winifred Huck of Illinois was chosen to fill out the term of her father. In a good many cases of this kind the person succeeding to the office of a dead relative had far less claim by reason of training or ability for the place than young Bob La Follette has for Wisconsin's vacant seat in the senate. Wisconsin will get plenty of advice as to whafl to lo about the La Follette candidacy, because, after all, it is of more than state significfiance. But it is to be doubted that Wiscon sin will need any outside pressure to convince it of young Bob's fitness for the office. At the present time re ports from Wisconsin indicate that his victory is in the cards. :o: OUT OF POLITICS The president serves notice on the leaders of his party throughout the country that prohibition enforce ment must be divorced, and stay di vorced, from politics. He makes it clear that Gen. Andrews, the new prohibition chief, will have a free hand in selecting his own subordi nates and that from this time forth the prohibition unit will not be a place in which lodging can be found for "deserving" party workers. It appears, however, that the pro posed changes in the enforcement machinery are not to be effected without a struggle. According to an earlier announcement they were to be effective August 1. Now it de velops that they cannot be put into operation so early; that it will prob ably be late fall before the drastic changes contemplated by Gen. An drews can be made. In the meantime those opposed to the new enforcement plans doubtless will rally their forces in an attempt to defeat the new program. In mi nor changes already announced from the original plan may be seen the work of party leaders anxious to hold as much of their ground as possible. Before the new program is actually made effective the whole scheme of substituting district for state en forcement wil be vigorously opposed, while the dropping of some 1,600 field agents, if places cannot be found elsewhere for them, will gen erate a veritable political storm. There is, however, no reason for believing that the president does not mean what he says; that he will per mit Gen Andrews to handle the en tire enforcement machinery, both as regards policy and personnel, as he sees fifit. But the delay in putting the new plan into effect is clearly a victory for those opposed to the change, temporary though it may be. :o: FAMISHED BEARS BOOT UP ENTIRE TRACT OF TIMBER Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 5. Driven by an apparent scarcity of other food to increase their efforts to find ants, bears have virtually up rooted an entire tract of timber 14 miles north of Woodlawn Park in the iPike National forest. Logs have been rolled for great distances, the ground has been dug up around the roots of trees and bark of the trees ripped to shreds. E. S. Keithley of the forest de partment said he has never seen such signs of a desperate search by bears for food in this section. Mine owners are silent. Why should they not be? If a strike, the consumers will have the bill to pay. Moye Produce Co. PAYS CASH FOR Poultry, Eggs, Graam and Hides! Sells Chic Feeds and Oyster Shell. "Prompt and Courteous Ser vice Our Motto!" Opposite Tidball Lumber Co PHONE 391 Plattsmouth, Neb. THE ECONOMY WAVE The principles of economy preach ed and practiced by President Cool idge have reached clear out to Ha waii, it has just become known. Thomas Boles, superintendent of the Hawaiian national park, has his quarters on the summit of Mount Kilauea. At this altitude the air is crisp, in spite of the tropical climate of the islands, and it is necesrary to provide artificial means of heating. Looking about him he discovered that live steam was escaping from a fissure in the rocks. He rigged up pipes and now gets steam heat from old Mother Earth herself. Thus it is unnecessary to buy coal or wood to heat the official quarters. Now if MacMillan reaches the North Pole, perhaps it will be pos sible to pipe ice water to Washington and cool it off during the hot season. :o: FORMER RESIDENTS HERE From Thursday's Daily The old friends here are enjoying a visit from three of the formerly well known ladies of this city, who during their residence here were very active in the church work of the First Methodist church of this city.
