Whatever I have tried to do in life,
I have tried with all my heart to do
well; whatever I have devoted myself
to, k- have devoted myself to com
pletely; in great aims and in small, I
have always been thoroughly in earn

Prince says its a mighty good thing
for the Moreheadites that he didn't
get a chance to talk.
Emley and Beard declare they would
have wiped Prince and his elephant
clear off the platform.
THE SHORT BALLOT.
One of the needed instruments of
democracy is the Short Ballot. De
mocracy means intelligent self-government.
But self-government through a
seven-foot ballot is a misnomer. The
long ballot is the heaven of political
manipulators.
The Short Ballot means the elimina
tion of politics as a learned profes
sion. It makes every voter his own
politician.
The Short Ballot principle as stated
by the National Short Ballot Organi
zation is as follows:
First That only those offices should
be elective which are important
enough to attract (and deserve) public
examination.
Second That very few offices
should he filled by election at one
time, so as to permit adequate and
unconfused public examination of the
candidate.
What of Nebraska? For years the
ballot has been overly complicated
and loaded with names of candidates.
Our most enlightened citizens have
time and again expressed themselves
as unable intelligently to pick the fit
from the myriad of aspirants for
office.
The 1912 ballot measured a little
over six feet. The 1914 ballot will
have to be measured in yards. Such a
state of affairs represents a false no
tion of affairs run riot. Cut off the
ballot the offices that have to do mere
ly with routine and clerical work.
Call on the voter only to fill the offices
that control policies. Then may we
hope for efficient self-government.
THE GLOOM AND THE GIRL.
By John Nicholas lleffel.
When the tiloom Cod 'nets up his
temple in your front yard and calls
you forth to bend the knee, brace up.
Sneak out of the back door, cut across
lots to a certain place and go for a
long walk with your Girl. Her clear,
young eyes are the best shrine, but
one at which you can worship. She
will force you to forget. The Cod of
Gloom is powerless in Her presence.
She has Youth and Enthusiasm and
Love oi Life. She lives. Every breath
of sparkling ozone that she drinks in
is a Cup of Joy. She will bring you
inspiration and elation. ohe will
make you dare to do things of which
you never believed yourself capable.
You will find her a philosopher, and
she will make you remember that you
are a philosopher yourself. Out un
der the wide and starry sky you will
find wondrcus things of which to talk.
And, too, there will come to you won
derful silences that wil mean more to
you and to Her than all the words
you could say. In the great Out- of
Doors thoughts come to man and to
woman that never invade their
homes. Beneath the vast blue dome
great deeds are born in dreams that
the four walls of a dwelling could
never house. And always, when the
world runs wrong, do you find your
way to Her. Then, weary mortal,
your universe will right itself, the
Gloom God will strike his tent and
seek sacrifice afar, and the South
Wind will bring music to your ears.
She will have brought Stlace to your
Soul because you will know that,
however the Fates may betray you.
She, with her Woman's Heart, will
Understand.
