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:

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.
If we get STABLE MONEY, which
: we call SOUND CURRENCY, we er
adicate the defect in this country’s
c nomic organ:sm because we would
i no longer use as our unit of value a
hing that has nothing but a fixed

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.

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

cast out. 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

“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.

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.
