Plattsmouth, Neb,
If you were asked to pick one word
that would characterize modern Am
ericans, what word would you pick?
J. D. Mooney, president of the Gen
eral Motors Export Co., says that
!iue uiL m"e iiuiitfs w lit Li lie
returns to this country from abroad
"is the restlessness that I see all
about me." And perhaps that one
... . . . ... . t
word "resnessness" is about as
apt a word as you could choose.
At the close of the Revolution, the
American t colonists, with restless
haste, began to swarm over the back
country behind the Alleghenies. They
roamed deep into the forests, found
ed new cities, dug canals, sent steam
ers and barges up and down the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and in
a generation had hewed out a new
empire.
They had not finished before the
Louisiana purchase abruptly extend
ed their horizon a couple of thousand
miles farther west. Again the rest
less urge seized them and they were
off. The great plains were settled
and cleared of savage enemies. A war
was fought with Mexico, and the
great empire of California and the
southwest passed into American
hands.
When the expansion of territory
ceased, the restless ones found new
outlets for their energies in indus
trial expansion. All over the land
mills began to .shoot their 1lack
smoke toward the sky. New railroads
were built, new mines were dug, new
industries founded; there was no leis
ure, no time for resting and taking
stock, no time for developing the
arts: Always there were more jobs
to be done, and always the restless
American threw himself into them
with enthusiasm.
Today we have no more virgin ter
ritory to settle. Our industries are
pretty well stabilized. Yet the old
restlessness exists and it is still find
ing outlets. Americans are looking
abroad; the energies that formerly
went into expansion at home are now
building up an industrial and finan
cial empire that is embracing the
whole earth.
America today has nearly $15,
000,000 invested abroad. Young
men, in ever-increasing numbers, are
being sent far afield to look after
these investments to Europe to Af
rica, to South America, to the islands
of the far east. In their wake go
the salesmen, and following them
go steamers bearing American goods.
The restlessness that developed a
continent is now extending its in
fluence over every land.
Restlessness; yes, it's a pretty good
word for us. Most of the time we
don't know exactly where we are go
ing, or why; yet we keep eternally
at it, driven by the urged that has
been bred in us. And, without quite
renliziner it. we are changing the
civilization of the world.
to:-:
OUR REAL NEEDS .
It is astonishing how few gardens
' and family milk cows there are on
small farms in Nebraska, and, for
that matter, on the plantations as
regards renters, the principle of pri
vate economy and conservation of re-
fcourves as a whole being the same
as regards all consumers.
! Much of the lack of farm prosper
ity is due to the fact that there is
not suffcient business Judgment exer
cised by farmers. If our farmers
. would classify themselves as business
men and assume responsibilities ac
cordingly we would obtain a great
deal of individual thinking and en
terprises that is now entirely absent
The fact that one good cow will
."produce as much food annually as is
contained in the carcasses of four
i beef steers of one thousand pounds
'each, which requires more than two
! years to produce, is truth of stagger
ing importance when associated with
moral responsibility attached to every
citizen who is mentally qualified for
i
'citizenship.
The great void in the economics
! of Nebraska is the fact that we
overlook the importance or producing
all the necessaries of life that are
possible. We depend too much upon
producing money with which to buy
: things.
Acquiring money for spending pur
poses is the large idea. The more im
portant philosophy, that of produc
ing necessaries for the purpose of
avoiding expenditures takes second
I place, even If any position at all,
with the average citizen. The plan
of seeking money for purposes of
expenditure and ignoring the other
principles finds its own weakness in
disappointments that arise due to de
velopment of unforseen events and
conditions, and to the fact that costs
often exceed revenues, thereby mak
ing such farm policies very much
more speculative, consequently haz
ardous. :o:
Easter couldn't chase winter n -
s.. , ... . j -
tirely away so we 11 nave to depend
upon baseball to do it.
England, having enfranchised
women over 30, now proposes to ex
tend the ballot to women over 21.
The so-called flapper electorate is es
timated as numbering five million.
If all women over 21 in England
voted a3 a sex, they would have a
majority over male voters of two
million. There is some speculation
as to what influence the flapper vote
will have on the polities of the Em
pire, whether it will go Tory or
Labor, whether it will follow Stan
ley Baldwin and the House of Lords
or Ramsay MacDonald and II. G.
Wells.
To us this speculation seems idle.
The notion that women would vote
as a sex has been exploded in the
United States, where it has been
demonstrated that for the most part
women in Democratic families vote
Democratic and women in Republi
can families Republican. It will be
so in England too. It is absurd to
think that the mere accident of sex
supplies a community of interest be
tween the daughter of an English
peer and the daughter of a Welsh
coal miner.
Nor, for that matter, would such
a condition be desirable. Problems
of government by and large have
nothing to do with sex. To draw sex
lines in politics would be a silly dis
tinction, as though men have a dif
ferent interest than women in such
things as farm relief, flood control,
the sick coal industry or corruption
in government. Moreover, even on
problems that intimately ' concern
sex, as woman suffrage itself, and
woman labor laws, there is no un
animity in the sex.
We expected too much from the
feminine vote in the beginning. It
was merely a piece of sentimentalism
to think that women would revolu
tionize society by their vote, that
they would go to the polls as one
beautiful and idealistic person to
ushed in the millennium. We have
suffered a uisillusion on that score
which we richly deserve.
-:o:
A SIGN OF PROSPERITY
Federal reserve bank statistics
show that in February of this year
more automobiles were sold than in
February of 1927. This happens to
be significant, 6ince it is the first
time in 18 months that any month's
sales showed a pain over the same
month in the previous year.
Add to this the fact that many
Dotential buyers are believed to be
holding off for a while to wait for
Ford to get into full production and
you have a sign of the times that is
ouite encouraging. It would seem
that the automobile industry is in for
a big year.
And if the whole auto industry
prospers, the prosperity of the rest
of the country is bound to improve.
