Recognition of a
man's convictions
State Supreme Court Just ice Harvey M. Johnsen. nom
inated by President Franklin Roosevelt for a seat on the 8th
Circuit Court of Appeals bench is receiving this week the
plaudits of the midwest, especially of Nebraska. Johnsen, a
graduate of the University College of Law, had filed for re
election to the state high court, but withdrew, explaining he
could not permit himself "to engage in political antics over
the position.''
Much could be said concerning the advisability of electing
members of a state supreme court. Political theorists for the
most part would condemn such procedure. We are not con
cerned here with the problem. "We are concerned with pub
licizing the fact that Harvey M. Johnsen is a Nebraska grad
uate. We're pretty proud of him.

still they satisfy.

Being lazy and no good and
everything all wrapped up in one
package, we've been looking for
a job where we can live off the
fat of the land. Having found it
we shall soon go into girdle manu
facturing.
And when I start that business
I think it shall be in Blair. After
all, the Smith Bros, got their start
in a one-hoarse town.

if a necKerchief is the president

house with a single purpose to
get more girls to live in one house
with a single purpose.
