These will come from Congress. :o: Some men kick because their daily bread doesn't come already buttered. :o: The Philippines want American capital, but it must first be made safe. :o: The force of public opinion is something like a force pump. It has to be worked. -:o:- One objection to peace and free dom from disaster is that we got be hind with our geography. :o: Another form of farm relief would be for picnic parties to pick up the litter they leave on the farmer's land. :o: The greatest exhibition of pure nerve was that of the woman who asked the police to search for her stolen beer. -:o:- Ten thousand Hungarians are still held in Siberia as prisoners of Rus sia. Thus the great World war is not fully over. :o: Experience is worth lots of money. At least the experience we have got ten has been worth lots to the people who sold it to us. :o: At the present rate of progress, America should have a complete net work of concrete highways by the time everybody takes to the air. :o: . Mr. Donahey is rapping the tax amendment, but then during his own administrations Honest Vic wasn't such great shakes as a tax expert. :o: Now that the self-extinguishing cigarette is being developed, daugh ter can toss her's safely behind the door when Victorian papa comes home. :o: It is said that there Is one girl in Plattsmouth who is so old fashioned that she won't drink out of a bottle but always insists on having a glass and a chaser. :o: In behalf of the bare backed and bare-legged fad it is said that ex posing the skin to the sunslight de velops a cheerful disposition. May be that's why cows are so contented. :o: Its one "shower" after another for Florence Trumbull and John Cool idga. From one to six or eight years hence, it will be something else in stead of "showers," don't you think? :o: An inventor has devised a golf ball which makes a humming noise when it is lost. Now if you can find a similar attachment for collar but tons and office scissors we can put him next to a couple of customers. :o: While the parking problem appears to be a source of worry to city of ficials and car owners, the following piece of advice handed out by an ex change appears to be timely: "Never leave the rear wheels of your car parked on a pedestrian."

They listed, perhaps, only the serious ones. :o:- considering tnat the gyroscope compass held the Graf on afstraight and true course, why not equip Con gress with one? :o: They always attempt to keep the plot of a new play secret until the opening night. And they often keep it a secret afterwards. :o: A recent murder trial in Ohio em phasizes the fact that you don't have to tear censors it you put on your show where the admission is free :o: une way to Dring about law en forcement is to develop a breed of people so decent that they won't need laws. And the will come the milleE ium. :o: The equivalent of the pot calling the kettle black, is for a man who wears a derby all summer to talk sarcastically about women wearing summer furs. :o: The Rev. Dr. Clarence True Wilson says that the Democrats fairly reek with sin. A preacher who would make such a statement is not alto gether sinless himself and he knows it. r:o: This is the season when members of the Greek letter fraternities are undergoing the most terrific mental strain of the entire college year. They are thinking up new methods of hazing the initiates. :o: In every popular country are large areas of non-used land but by re clamation they can be made culti- vatable.

Later there may be thrill ers from our southern neighbors. The candidates may be fighting for par ity. :o: Great Britain's naval tonnage ex ceeds that of the United States by 51,2 CO tons. Until Premier MacDon- ald is ready to put his government on a fifty-fifty basis with Uncle Sam, it is useless to talk about further dis armament. :o: Rev. E. S. Shumaker, superintend ent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League convalescent from illness ad mits that he has been taking a tonic containing 23 per cent alcohol. A good quality of port wine would have served the same purpose. :o: It may not be a bad suggestion that states have computeory school laws, allow for private education by permitting an examination for fit ness. Some of the laws are too dras tic, making no allowance for hone education, often superior. A PROPOSED U. S. OF EUROPE Briand of France is now credited with favoring a United States of Eu rope. Briand is again prime minister of France, succeeding Poincare, who sacrificed himself through his hero ism in prevailing upon his country to settle its enormous debt to the Unit ed States, and from his high posi tion such a statement is sure to com mand attention. However, Briand declares that in such advocacy he has not the slightest idea of in anywise causing any economic friction or trouble' in thus advising Europe to follow our example. The reasoning of Briand tells him that if such a union can be formed, present troubles would disappear, and old water marks with their racial hatreds and preju dices would be obliterated. But there are difficulties all along the line, not insurmountable If these old hatreds and prejudices could be effaced. Then again to be taken into account is the problem of so many forms of government. There are mon archies, some with constitutional governments, some without, a lot of republics and alleged republics, with a great wart on the eastern front called the Soviet republic of Russia. Then Spain and Italy have dictators. with Turkey not far from it. Thus monarchies, republics and dictator ships. For all this, if Briand pushes his idea of a European United States, it will be taken up more or less, and if till agitated with convincment would increase in favor, for Europe is not the fruitful ground our 13 colonies were. With a United States of Europe the well being and happiness of the world would surely be advanced. For one thing there would be an end of wars on that continent. The condi tions of the people would be improv ed, the conditions of life materially altered for the better and with noth ing but friendly rivalries existing be tween the states. The people would be sovereigns. It is a most pleasant picture, with Prime Minister Briand of France pre paring to arrange the canvas and apply the brush. We can only help by our example, for it would be most unwise for us to insert ourselves thus in the affairs of Europe, and any such propaganda on our part would at once bev resented, for what -l-ie could be looked for? Our line of pro cedure is to look pleasant and attend to our own business. -:o:- THE VALUE OF RESEARCH Gen. J. J. Carty, vice-president of the American Telephone and Tele graph Company, says that, but for the great improvements in electric power and lighting due to scientific re search in industrial laboratories, the electric current which the public is now using would cost $2,000,000,000 more per year than it does. This assumes, however, that the public would use as much current as it now uses, tne only dmerence being- that it would be much more expensive, produced under the older methods. That assumption will hardly bear inspection. Under such prices, electric lights, cooking appli ances, flat irons, sweepers, sewing machines, washing machines, re frigerators, etc., would be out of the question for a vast number of fam ilies of only moderate means in which they are now in daily use. In place of spending $2,000,000,- 000 more per year, then, if it had not been for the scientific research improving the method of producing and applying electric current, some millions of our people, and especially the women, would be doing, their housework by the same tedious and exhausting methods of old, Instead of the quicker and easier methods made possible by electricity. :o: . THE GREAT ARE HUMBLE "I am the happiest, proudest, and humblest woman in the world to day," Lady Drummond-Hay, com pleting her round-the-world trip on the Graf Zeppelin, is quoted as say- ng: "Happy, because I am here, on the terra firma after the pioneer adven ture of flying around the world. "Proud, because circumstances elected me as the representative of my sex on this history-making air voyage. "Humble, because our long flights across the great spaces of the world the Atlantic, Siberia, and the Pacific have brought me some faint realization of the Power of God." The more men and women know about the universe the more they marvel at the greatness of the Power behind it. the Creator of it all. The more puny minds listen to themselves deny the existence of God the more they become impressed with their own importance. The truly great are always humble. The vastness of the universe to them A BELATED DISCOVERY A Chicago correspondent makes the disclosure discovery on his part that the farmer is not the "hick" he is sometimes represented to be, the subject of a press dispatch, in which he states that the coming of he telephone, radio, good roads, auto mobiles, and long distance travel through every section of the coun try, has brought with it a great change In the farmer and he can.no longer be told by his dress, and man ners. The fact is that the representation of the farmer made in cartoon and story has always been very far from the facts. There are elements in all classes of people that are backward, and the fact that they are so mani fested by them wherever they go, but one does not have to go to the rural sections of the state to find the sort. The proportion Is rather lower among the farmers than among peo ple of other occupations. Newspapers, books, magazines, and educational means generally are at the hands of the people who live on the farm. Just as they are in the reach of the residents of the cities and towns and because the farm resi dents are not so much distracted by the lighter forms of division as city people, they make fuller and better use of these facilities, and man for man are undoubtedly better inform ed as to the things worth knowing than their city cousins. And as to Jhe conventions of good society, they suffer not at all in comparison with people from the cities. The farmer does not wear a Prince Albert coat and a high hat when he works in his fields, to be sure, but such things are not seen in the shop and stores of'the cities either. Make fun Of the business magnate if you want to;' the teacher, the preacher, the lawyer, and even the editor, but let's not mock the man who clothes and feeds us, especially when there is absolutely no hook of fact on which to hang our alleged Jhumor. :o: ORIGIN OF THE INDIAN Dr. Hrdlicka clings to his theory that the American Indian is of Asian orisin. though he admits that the contention not yet has become a mat ter definitely susceptible of scientific proof. It would seem that his theory, how ever, is somewhat more the specula tive. The Indian physiologically in dicates an eastern origin. One of the Lost Tribes of Israel. In the main he is a monotheist. Before cor runtion by white influence, he de monstrated many of the nobler vlr tues. In one respect he has from the beginning been different, nonpoly gamous, and in this superior to his conjectered forebears. It needed not the Idealizations of Cooper and Catlia and Longfellow to imagine the Indian noble, courage ous, Just, of surpassing fortitude, a true lover and loyal to admitted obligations. He was all of that un til he was degraded to be something else by the coming of invincible white conqueror. But in some far beginning it is not difficult to believe with Dr. Hrdlicka that the red man came from Asia by way of Alaska. It could easily have so happened. It is not strange that the "missing link" indicating this probality not yet has been discovered. This supposed emigration conceiv ably may have taken place a million or more years ago. Perhaps some day the rivers and the hills will give up this secret, so long buried under the flood of years, as Dr. Hrdlicka believes and to which end he so patiently and persistently continues to work. :o: Chas. M. Schwab, steel king, has been sumomned to appear before the Senate committee investigating caus es of the failure of the Geneva naval limitation conference. All who be lieve Charley is going to tell every thing he knows are cordially invited to stand on their heads. :o: Don't fail to ask a man for ad vice if you wish to flatter him.
