‘‘Johnny Horton's Political DOPE” by John Btnj. Horton, Jr. . _ ... __Ji Horton’s dope UNCLE SAM NEEDS STABLE MONEY! A PUZZLING QUESTION FOR YOU AND I! The economic condition of our coun try ia alarming; unemployment is ram pan*.; and our new President, Roosevelt, has recently declared a four day holiday to al!evlate some of our banking ills which will react in favor of all depositors and contribute toward the trend to more prosperous times. This columist believes that business recovery will be increased more rapidly if we’d go a bit further and put America _~on a STABLE MONEY BASIS For example: ror Business recovery, one of America's irreat. c«t needs is STABLE MON.

We need SOUND CURRENCY whose actual value is the same as its nominal value; a currency which does not deteriorate or depreciate or fluct uate comparatively with the standard of values.

Jurgensen, Lieut. Govenar and his Family A NEW FIGURE UPON NEBRAS KA’S POLITICAL HORIZON by J. R. LOWELL Long before there were electrical voting machines at the Nebr. state house to perplex and occupy the #n nds of our legislators, or to be more exact, about the time that the youngest member of the 1933 legis. | ’ature was concerned chiefly with ’earning to walk and how to drink milk out of a cup, a high school lad up in the tall country of Boyd county was pondering the question of how to make his own living and what vo cation to take up that would have a future. The youngster was sixteen and lived on a farm with his parents and five brothers and sisters. The fact that he holds the second selling life insurance. Now he is president of his own life insurance Company and, what is more interest ing to the people of Nebraska, he is lieutenant governor of the State. The fact that he helds the second high position of command in affairs of state is about all that the average Nebraskan outside of Lincoln knows 1 of Walter H. Jurgensen, for Mr. Jur. ^ gensen is not a chronic office-seeker and has never before held public of fice. He has enjoyed life and pros pered, reasonably by just minding his own business. Fate has contrived during the past few months to place Mr. Jurgensen in a peculiar position, however, and despite the fact that he has always shunned the public lime-light, he un doubtedly is destined to play an im.; portant part in State governmental and political affairs in the next few | years at least. Walter H. Jurgensen (the “H” is for Herman) was horn at Madison, Nebraska. His parents came over in 1881 from Schleswig, a district in Germany at one time belonging to Denmark. The father is a bricklay er, but has also been a farmer. Even as a youngster, Walter Jur gensen had to depend pretty much upon himself for what he got. His parents who crossed the Atlantic as steerage passengers were not overly blessed with this world’s goods, and what with five hungry mouths to feed their energy and talents were direct ed entirely against the wolf at the, door. Consequently young Walter’s heritage was confined mostly to kind ly parental affection, common sense, sturdy moral convictions, and the nec essity of thing and doing for himself. When Jurgensen was a small boy his parents moved to a farm in Boyd county and he attended high school at Spencer. While in school he was making his own spending money by selling life insurance and was con tributing a few dollars to the family income as well. Eventually he went to Lincon to further his education, and for two years he washed dishes in a restaurant to keep himself in university. ' . A few years after going to the capital city, Jurgensen’s unflagging industry in the insurance business be gan to show increasing results in the form of returns in cold cash. About that time he met Margaret Carper, an employee of the state board of control and daughter of a pioneer Cass county family. She became Mrs. Walter H. Jurgensen. Three years ago Mr. Jurgensen founded the Western Union Life In surance company of which he is presi dent. This concern already has writ ten approximately half a million dol lars in life insurance in Nebraska, despite the depressed financial con ditions that have prevailed since its inception. A year before his insurance comp any was founded, Jurgensen took his first plunge into the uncertain wat ers of politics. He emerged wet (no reference to the 18th amendment) but wiser, having been defeated in the re publican primaries in his attempt to join the ranks of the thirty-three Ne braskans of sundry shapes and sizes who biennially take their seats in the senate chamber. Fate has given him ample solace for this first defeat, however, for now he occupies the choice seat of that same senate cham ber and even has a private doorway for his comings and goings. “Intensely human” is perhaps the best descriptive phrase that eould be anplied to the lieutenant governor. He admits that he never liked school very well, but he always has been an avid reader of history, biography, economics, philosophy and, more re cently, political science. He is a keen student of human nature as well. Despite Jurgensen’s lack of affect tion for academic instruction, a Lin. j coin savant says of him: “Walter Jur gensen possesses one of the most scholarly and keenest intellects it has been my pleasure to encounter. He is concise in all his dealings, always to the point, and has acquired the en viable habit of doing only one thing at a time and doing that well.” Frank j Stech, the person quoted, is consid- j erably older than Jurgensen, holds j several degrees from universities both ! in this country and Europe, has been 1 a College professor for many years j as well as a business man. (Continued Next Week) PARABLES OF OUR LORD (The Man Without a Wedding Garment) by Dr. A. G. Bearer (The Literary Service Bureau) Text: He saw there a man which had not a wedding garment:—Mat thew 22:11. I This was a “smart Alex.” He would contemptibily ignore conventions Or social requirements and be a law un to himself. He was the prototype of the arrogant sceptre or cynic of today, who wants to bend even God to his way. We hear, “Well, yes, I’m a Christian, in my way;” “I’d join the church if they’d recognize my right to think and act according to my way of thinking;” “I’ll be all right, because I keep the Golden Rule, and am much better than many so called Christians.” But they will be condemned—as was this sriiart Alex of the text. The king is God; the Son is Jesus Christ; the occasion is the final judge ment; the wedding garment is the gar ment of righteousness which God provides; the punishment is such as shall be meted out to all who “Being ignorant of God's righteousness go a bout to establish their own righteous ness.” The most striking thing about this whole affair is that the man was mute—was speechless—when he was What.

If one wonders why he was speechless, entered no protest, and made no plea, it is not difficult to surmise. He had no excuse to make He was there in time; he saw others with the regulation uniform on; the garment was free, being provided by the host; it was tendered to him when he entered; he refused it or at least ignored it; therefore, he was speech less because he had no excuse to make. So will it be with those who neglect and reject and go to the judge LOUIS CINEK IN THE RACE Louis Cinek, who is running for city commissioner, has lived in Omaha for 32 years. He conducts the busi ness which his father established in 1901 in South Omaha. Mr. Cinek has had 13 months experience in the City Clerk’s office before its annex ation to Omaha proper from South Omaha. He has been connected for years in civic enterprises in South Omaha and is a member of several civic and fraternal societies. Some of them being the South Omaha Post of the American Legion of which he is Past Commander;Chamber of Commerce,; the AkSarBen. Mr. Cinek has been endorsed by the South Omaha Non-Partisan Pol itical Club, the 200 Club and the Peo ple’s Forum Club of South Omaha. I IBook IRevnevv “THE BROWN MAIDEN” by Felicidad V. Ocampo (The Meador Publishing Co; Boston, Mass.) * * * In this book we are confronted with quite a bit of prejudice of var ious kinds, religious; caste; differ. ences in nationality, and the usual race prejudice but from a different angle and setting. * * * Carmen Gonzales is the charming daughter of a wealthy and influential Philippino; reared under the most ex. acting restrictions of fond parents, religious bigotry, and the foolish pride of the caste system. » * * Surreptitiously she meets and falls in love with a young white American Arijiy Captain, stationed in the Phil ippines. Contrary to the usual cus toms they elope to Hong Kong and marry. Subsequently Captain Nolan brings his bride to America and though he keeps her in isolation they appear somewhat contented and happy. * * * Shortly before their child is about to be born the Captain takes Carmen to the home of his mother in Virgina while the Captain hastens back to his army post in California. Although reputable, refined, and loving, Car men with her brown skin, does not fare very well in Virginia, and being unable to undergo the continual prej udice rebuffs she runs away to Wash inlgton, where her child is born, and is eventually helped by a kind, tol 2rant and loving American couple. From this point of the story on the text assumes the character of a soc iological treatise in which the brown maiden is but the delineator. —Clifford C. Mitchell. BECAUSE * * * BY R. A. ADAMS (The Literary Service Bureau) I bow my neck unto the yoke, Forbear your anger to provoke, Not on account of craven fear, But all because I love you, Dear. I falter not at sacrifice, Consider naught too great a price, That I mny have you ever near, Became -because I love you, Dear! If dire misfortune should befall, Then I shall covet, most of all, A smile from you, my heart to cheer, Because- because I love you, Dear. Whate'er the future holds for me, Whate’er my destiny may be, Life, without you, were cold and drear, Because—because I love you, Dear. NATIONAL THEATRE RETALIAT. ES AGAINST PAPER Washington, D.
