Her new book is Killers of the Dream ANP Lillian Smith, famed author of “Strange Fruit,” last month brought the public another stirring story of the South in “Killers of the Dream.” Partly autobiographical, partly socieligical, the book is de scribed by critics as an attempt to open the gates that now bar man kind from a fuller and richer life.

JL h IAMBS C. OLSON, SufitnnUiuitnt •TATI ■IITOIICAL IOCIITT Albinos Nance, Nebraska’s fifth governor, was only 30 years old when elected, the youngest man ever to be chosen as the state’s1 chief executive—although Keith Neville, Nebraska's World Wai I governor, was only 32 when first elected; and Thomas H. Cum ing and J. Sterling Morton, act ing governors of the territory, were mere boys ol 26 when first appointed. La Fayette, 111.. March 30, 1848. La Fayette, 111., March 30, 1948. He enlisted in the 9th Illinois Cavalry when only 16 years of age and fought with the regiment in numerous Civil War battles. After the war, he began the study of law at Knox College in Galesburg, 111., and though he left before ; securing his degree, he was ad mitted to the bar of Illinois in 1870, at the age of 22. Shortly Ihereafter, the young man responded to the call of the West, removing to Nebraska, j where in 1871 he took a home stead in Polk county. For a while he tried combining the law and agriculture, but his legal work prospered to such a degree that he decided to give it his full time,! moving to Osceola where' he opened an office. Indicative of the rapidity with w'hich young Nance established himself in his new home was his election to the state house of rep resentatives in 1874, despite the fact that he had been in the state only three years and wfas only 26 years old. He wras re-elected in 1876 and was chosen speaker of the house of representatives. Also during 1876 he served as chairman of the Nebraska delega tion to the Republican national convention in Cincinnati. The next honor to be heaped upon the young man’s head w?as his nomination for the governor ship by the republican party in 1878. He defeated W. H. Web-j ster, the democratic nominee, by better than a two to one major ity. He was re-nominated by acclamation in 1880, defeating for mer Sen. Thomas W. Tipton in the general election. Governor Nance’s administra tion was relatively tranquil. The state w*as beginning to shake off the effects of the bitter depres sion which had threatened tp stunt its growth in the middle Seventies, and was moving into one of its greatest periods of pros perity and growdh. The gover nor contributed to stability by a conservative and economical ad ministration of the state’s affairs. ----- ; IDEAL Grocery and Market Lota of Parking 27th and F Street* wo Sow* so* *. »ar«r huiiitmniimimiiimtiiiii'iifiiftintniiiiiiimHmiitiiiM Scarlet ports ImiHnaujiHiiHuimmimiHniuiHHmummttBimiHl When the Juyhawker had cleaned its claws and flown back to its home down south, we took a look at the statistics and discov ered an Interesting fact. Nebraska, weak last year on its pass defense, ranked first in the Big Seven on pass defense, that is, yards gained by opponents on passes. Nebraska led the loop, having yielded only 463 yards to foes via the sky in seven games. Iowa State was next with 595 yards in eight games. Consider ing the potent passing attack of most of the Husker foes, we feel that Glassford’s work on pass defense has paid off. The Scarlet defense deserves recognition, too, for holding a powerful team, a team that scored four touchdowns against the mighty Sooners. Efficiency in performance, ac cording to Glassford’s grading scale, improved almost 25 percent 1 from the time of the Oklahoma game to the Kansas homecoming j heartbreaker. The Nebraska lads won every thing but the score against KU. j They outplayed the Jayhawkers at every turn. Consistently they marched the length of the field, | but couldn’t crack the rugged KU defense when it counted. A capac- j ity homecoming crow’d cheered and cringed alternately during i the game. After it was over, there was one prevailing attitude. “We should have won that game,” was a typi cal comment expressed by play ers, coaches and spectators. But in taking another look at | the future, we can’t help thinking that things are looking better. Glassford’s varsity and Ike Hans com’s freshmen teams have gained national acclaim. An article last week by Whitney Martin from New York reflects the view that the nation is again looking to Ne braska for more great football teams. At the expiration of his second term, Governor Nance, still not 35 years old, “retired” to his law practice at Osceola. A few years later he removed to Lin coln, and then to Chicago where he engaged in handling railroad stocks and bonds. He died Dec. 7, 1911. Gilmour-Danielson Drug Co.
