A Nebraskan in
Washington
Washington. Doc. 24_For days tho
senate was deadlocked over the chair
manship of the interstate commerce
committee. Breaking of the deadlock
may mean millions of dollars, either
way. None of this Is news now.
Yet the fact that the factions eco
nomically at swords points are as
good natured in the fight as though
they were showering each other with
vrlth flowers is Indeed marvelous. One
can’t keep from thinking that an eco
nomic struggle of such magnitude
staged 200 years ago would have
spelled war and bloodshed. So maybe
we're living in a pretty good age,
after all.
The biggest laugh to interested
spectators was tlie.switch to Couzens
by Senator Arthur Capper who had
voted consistently for days with the
old guard for Senator Cummins.
When Capper cast his first ballot

with the Insurgents the gallery snick
ered and the word was whispered
through the galleries "Capper can't
stand the pressure any longer. lie’s
flopped."
There was an Interesting bit of
byplay a few minutes after Capper
flopped. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts, leader of the old
guard, hurried to the desk of Senator
Charles H. Curtis of Kansas, stead
fast old guard private, known as the
"Boise Penrose of the middlewest.”
For several days it was whispered
that Capper for interest of harmony
with the Curtis faction In Kansas
was "playing It regular.” Lodge
spoke a few words to Curtis and the
latter threw up his hands, helplessly,
and shook his head negatively.
Wonder If Henry Cabot Lodge
asked Curtis: “What In thunder has
gotten into your man Capper” and
Curtis replied: “—don't ask me.”
While Kansas and Kansans are un
der discussion it might be appro
priate to state that Kansas poli
ticians, excepting postmasters, have
moveij, en masse, into Washington.
Those Kansans get the jobs. Nearly
everywhere one goes he finds a Kan
san holding some sort of a federal
job.

That's MY Idea of a
Year End
I am getting tired of “sameness” in an “ad." The usual “Year-End Sale” advertise
ment is a meaningless, packed, jumbly rmss of prices and doesn’t mean anything.
A volume of words and items as thick as a dictionary is crammed into a page;
hard to read; hard to grasp; hard to select from. So, I herewith try out the method
of calling attention to ONE great, large, general, all inclusive THIRD to HALF OFF
on every item of men’s, women’s and children’s attire contained on these three floors.
I hope the big idea sinks in thoroughly; I trust you will read the “big type" at least.
If you do this store will be packed with buyers.
