Does whiskey ago In Jugs? Tho whokt world knows It agea in wood and part of tho world knows it does not ago in bottles. This argument la brought up by tho finding of three Jugs of whiskey hidden In tha basement of tho Merchant hotel and found by B. J. Jobst, who has the contra ot for remodelling the place. ' Oua Anderson has- worked at the Merchants for nineteen years as store keeper and. ho remembers tho incident of placing the whisky in tho Jugs seven teen years ago. Ho remembers that It was put in the Jugs because the barrels had rotted and that William Paxton had then declared it had been planted there in tho barrels for -thirteen years and that it bad been- plaeed there by him from bis private stock whan it twelve years old. AU of which makes tho whiskey forty-two years old. Dan Gaines, tho new proprffetor of tho Merchant had th owhlsky tested by government gauger and It proved to be 140 proof..

Judge Sutton Dabs Blood on Moon of Commission According to a none too gentle rumor floating up from Lincoln, a wee bit of blood has stslned the moon In the coun cils of the commission for the prevention of crime, appointed by the governor, the governor, himself, being somewhat disturbed. It is all duo to Judge A. I Button's publlo championship of a project for In dustrial farms In the. six congressional districts of Nebraska. Individually rather than as a member of the commission. The dispute is over the credit for the project. The members of the commis sion, so runs this rumor, feel so sure of the success of the plan as. to demand a share of the honor. So from Lincoln comes word that Governor Morehead Is preparing a statement on the plan as a part of his annual message and that va rious members of the commission were to keep "mum" until It was duly sprung by the chief executive. "At any rate," as one Lincoln wan re ports it, "the others feel that Judge But ton has stolen a march In making this the subject of platform speeches In such a way as to permit some folks to get tho Impression that the plan originated with him." Ihe members of the U-Rlslature. "Tou have a fighting chance then," she added. Mrs. Robinson refuted the statement that women war great of fle-see Iters In suffrage states. "In-Wd, they are very chary of offloe-holdlng. No, I do not believe that offloe-hold lng Interferes with hone duties. Indeed, my borne Is better managed when the legislature la In session and I have a trained housekeeper than it la when I am there and attempt to take part In Its management. However, I do not be lieve that any woman who is rearing family should enter publlo life.

Our Nation is being penalized by a crisis of European methods' and ideals. We cannot escape entirely the bitter fruits of a war founded in governmental systems -where Mon archy, Paternalism, Public Ownership and Autoc-" racy go hand in hand. Now, as never before, we have opportunity to compare American ideals and methods with those practiced in Europe and to measure what American systems and institutions have gained for humanity. Probably we will learn more and more each' day of the coming year to appreciate "all we have and are;" to regard our citizenship in a more precious light; to see ur problems more clearly, more tolerantly. The war has made material progress difficult throughout the United States. It has added to the obstacles of , financing constructive effort. It has enforced econ omies upon the large and small; has laid on the shelf, plans for many desirable things. Prosperity in this country during the coming year de mands above everything else faith in our Republic and faith between man and man. It cannot be had in suspicion and distrust. If this military calamity teaches us a deeper and more useful patriotism; if it serves to advance under standing among us of one another's lights and wrongs; if it removes prejudice and strikes down distrust then this war will not be without benefit to the citizens of the United States. We hope for prosperity the coming year. To have it will require hard work, courage and faith in ourselves. Omaha Electric Light & Power Co. Co. . Harriet, Pretldtnt 1 5 !:!!l!i!l!ti!!!l!!l!!i!!!ll
