AS TO THE POOR
The poor shall never cease out of
the land: therefore I command thee,
saying. Thou shalt open thine hand
wide to thy brother, to thy poor,
and to thy needy,
Deuteronomy, 15-11.
-:o:-
It never does a lot of good to lose
sleep in the daytime.
Man likes to think he is natural
ly truthful instead of lacking in im
agination. :o:
Isn't it a pity you can't trade
your old summer suit on a new
winter suit?
-:o:
The sad thing about lots of people
is they have no idea of what would
make them happy.
:o:-
There should be more leisure for
men of business and more business
for men of leisure.
:o:
It is easy to get along with the
people of Plattsmouth, if you are
the right type of citizen.
:o:-
Most of us are physical cowards,
but mental daredevils. We enjoy
thinking things that hurts us.
:o:
We want new citizenship, and we
are ready with open arnv.j to welcome
all those who enter in our midst.
tor-
Few bachelors can realize how
useful and virtuous a married man
feels when he cleans his own ash
tray.
:o:
This age of substitutes has not
yet reached the point where a flat
head ran be substituted for a level
headlight.
:o:
We meet a lot of people every day
who put questions merely . for the
purpose of getting a chance to
answer them.
:o:
We favor a law compelling lovers
to court at least two years before
they marry. Too many men and
women get married before they get
acquainted.

:o:
A woman is always perfectly sure
that she ;is right until it comes to
backing her opinion with money.
:o:
A woman can't ask a man to mar

man can't keep from asking one.

Perhaps an auto which ran into

There is nothing wrong about
Plattsmouth. The knocker makes
everything wrong for himself, and
then blames others for his shortcom

It is said that we carry a weight
of 15 tons of air on our bodies. And
probably the fact that so much of
the burden is hot air is what gives
us that pain in the neck.
-:o:-
Old time cattlemen can take a
look at a calf and tell how much
chicken salad it will make, and by
one look at a rabbit can tell how
many wienies it is good for.
:o:
The Massachusetts court Has ruled
that home brew containing more
than 2.95 per cent alcohol is an un

out of ten it is an awful beverage.

It is encouraging to learn that

A new electric arc-welding proce "?,

:o:-
From present indications and re
ports, the poor people will have a
hard time getting through the win

of the smaller cities much suffering
will exist.
Winter-Is a month ahead of time,
according to prognosticators. This

Plattsmouth, now has three ex

Sheetrock insulation keeps
the heat from escaping

CLOIDT LUMBER &

A GOLD-SILVER DOLLAR
Having failed to popularize either
the silver cart wheel or the $2 bill,
the treasury now decides to bring out
a new metallic dollar. Experiments
are being made with a combined sil
ver dollar which will be lighter than
the silver dollar, and which, it is
hoped, will prove a convenient and
popular means of exchange.
The wear and tear on the ?1 bill
has long been a source of concern to
the treasury. It tried first a proscess
of seasoning the paper which is used
in currency making. Then came the
treasury appeal for a wider accept
ance of the silver dollar, but the new
silver which was placed in circula
tion returned to the treasury and the
banks within a few weeks of the
time of its release. .
More recently an appeal was made
for the $2 bill, but there again the
treasury hopes for relief of the dol
lar bill have been disappointed. There
is an unhappy superstition about $2
bills which seems definitely to limit
their circulation, and so their use
fulness in the monetary" system. With
the silver dollar it maght very well
be demotized as a part of the scheme
of currency reorganization which the
treasury now has in mind.
If the new gold-silver dollar Is to
serve the intended purpose, it must be
cheaply produced, and be of a nature
to prevent its confusion either with
the silver half or quarter dollar. If
much gold goes into it, it will bo
more costly than the dollar bill; if
it is large it will meet the same ob
jection as the cart wheel, and if it
is small it is likely to be confused
with one or the other of the minor
coins. All of which make the treasury
problem in coining the new dollar
difficult.
:o:
RESPECT THE LAW
President Coolidge appeals to re
ligion as the final sanction for obe
dience to law. That will help, for
those who acknowledge religion. The
country would be better off if there
were more who did so.
But there is no religion in the
bootlegging trade and little enough
among the bootleggers' customers.
For bootleggers, the only remedy is
fear of the penalties of the law.
For their customers, the appeal
must be to religion, for those that
have it, and to loyalty to their coun
try and its institutions, for those
whose devotions are confined to the
mundame sphere. Then there will be
the remnant to whom the only ap
peal is that provided for the boot
leggers. If the "respectable" law violators
will once make lawbreaking disrepu
table the police can cope with the
disreputable ones.

WHAT IS FAILURE ?
The press dispatches tell us that
ex-Governor Lowden of Illinois, has
added himself ta( the number of those'
who declare democracy, as it exists'
in the United States, to be a failure.
Perhaps it id wise, in this connection,
ask ourselves j list what we mean
when we use the word "fail" of our
human institutions.
In the business news of the day,
our eye catcher, a list of "failures,"
and we read that such and such a
firm has been forced into bankruptcy,
with a list of liabilities perhaps
three or four, or even five or ten,
times as threat as its discoverable
assets. "Failure" means, in this
case, that the meager assets which it
possesses are to be distributed pro
rata among its creditors, and that
it will no longer exist. Another con
cern starts out with high hopes and
promises, but at the end of its year
it finds itself without any accumu
lated profits, and must acknowledge
it "failure" to pay the dividends
which its stockholders had been led
to expect. We have used the term
"failure" in both these cases, and
both cases are justified by unimpeach
able linguistic precedent. In the lat
ter case, however, the firm will go
right on with its business, and per
haps learning valuable lessons from
its experience will later be found to
be paying satisfactory dividends.
Is democracy in the United States
a "failure," in the first of these two
senses? Are we ready to have some
receiver in bankruptcy appointed
some American Mussolini, or a
soviet dictator to clear up the
wreck, and prepare the way for
something else? We could name cer
tain persons who might say so, but
we do not believe that ex-Governor
Lowden would want to be consider
ed among them.
But has American democracy prov
ed a "failure" even in the second of
the two senses of the term, as above
indicated? Has the government un
der which the American nation has
grown to its present stature, win
ning hitherto unprecedented achiev
ments in so many lines of industrial
RUPTURED?
Sufferers will benefit by writing
for valuable information sent free
upon request.

scientific and educational progress,
and permitting so many thousands j
continually to rise from the most j
humble surroundings to positions of
influence, power and material pros-1
perity, with nothing to life them but '
their own inherent ability and
character has that form of govern
ment, we ask, failed as yet to re
turn any dividends?
If one states specifically that our
American government has not yet
succeeded in achieving certain ends
that we should all like to see accom
plished such as driving harmful
politics out of wholly non-political
matters of legislation and adminis
tration, for example we may read
ily admit that regree of "failure."
When one states in an apparently un
equalified way, however, that "our
democracy is a complete failure," he
is using language in a careless way
that is likely to do harm. It is a
little as if a woman with a husband
who has been a good provider, and
kind to her and the children, were
to go around telling the neighbors
that he is a "failure" as a husband,
simply because he has not success
fully matched the sample of ribbon
with which she sent him to the
store, or has carried in a little mud
on his shoes when bringing in the
turkev for "Thanksgiving dinner."
