Stop and Consider

When the Roman oracles want
ed to find out what was going to
happen they opened IL bird and
looked at its gizzard. That was
called d%iyination. By it they
pretended they could foretell a
war, a pestilence or who was GO
ing to be elected pontifex max
linus.
There may have been somethin
in that, after all. While the or
acle business is somewhat played
out, a good physician can take a
fly, look at its feet with a com
mon magnifying glass and make
Il mighty good guess as to the
kind of sickness that will break
out in the house where the fly
was found. 1t isn't divination,
it's just common sense. IF there
are typhoid germs on the fly's
feet and he lights on food that
is eaten by the family the disease
will follow.
There is no way Of telling
where a fly has been when he
comes buzzing into your house.
You might find out by looking at
his feet and Analysing what you
find there, but the best and SAT
est way is to swat him.-Ex.

FALLS CITY
VS. BEATRICE
THE DEBATE WAS A GOOD
AND INSTRUCTIVE ONE
City Was Loser BY a Close
Margin.-Judges From
Peru and Lincoln

From Saturday Daily.
The debate between Beatrice
and Falls City vas held at the
court house last night. 1t was a
very close race. The Falls City
had the affirmative side and the
Beatrice team the negative, The
question Resolved, That the
United States Navy should be
maintained at Strength Rather
Than Be Substantially %lncreas-
ed. The decision of the judges
was two for the negative and
one for the affirmative, although
one judge gave his decision to tn
negative in these words, mega
tive by ii close margin" Those
taking part on the Beatrice team
were Mr.. Kline, Mrs. Fred Wilson
and Rue Green and those from
Falls City, Priscilla Woodring, Nh
James Falcon and Camille Ley
da.
Both teams did we'll but we are
sorry our team yer compelled to
take a lesson in defeat instead
of victory. 1t is easy to act the
winner, but not so easy to carry
defeat gracefully.
The judges yer Prof. Heath
of Peru and Mr.. Ledwith and Mr..

OUR WEEKLY
COMMENT

And now the democrats think
tree trade with Canada about the
proper caper. Time will tell.
Meanwhile let us hope the cost
of living will go down and the
price of farm products go up, II
such a phenomenon is possible.
Governor Aldrich' veto of the
telephone bill seems to have been
4 sensible and wise move. The
monopolies have already got too
great a hold upon Nebraska, and
if they are allowed to spend a
small fortune every time a SEES
sion of the Legislature is held,
and then fail to get what they
want, they may become discour-
aged in a hundred years or so,
and direct their effors to build
ing up business by business meth
DDS instead of political pull.
The election Of Judge Kenyon
as Senator from Iowa to succeed
the late Senator Dolliver is es-
pecially gratifying to western
people. LATE Young, who was
appointed by Governor Carroll to
serve until the legislature was
able to take the matter up, was
unable to secure the votes OF
Iowa's progressive statesmen, and
withdraw in favor of Judge Dee
mer. who feared even worse. Ken
yon is of the type of men needed
to give the west fitting represen-
tation at our nations capitol.
Direct election of United State
senator's found little opposition in
the House, but the senators may
feel that their chances of cleo
ton if left to the common peo-
pie would be very slim, and OBJ
ject emphatically. We wonder
Row Lorrimer will vote on the
proposition.

The time of year is approach
ing when a new crop of graduate
each expecting to mount the lad
der of success with rapid bounds,
will pour forth from hundreds of
colleges and high schools. But
let them clearly understand be-
fore they grapple with LIES prob
lens, that all the wisdom cram
med between the covers Of col
lege text books, all the note
books filled at college lectures,
all the training logic will prove
valueless in the struggle to earn
a living unless they know in a
very definite way how to put
them in practical use-how to do
some actual work with hands and
brain that the world is willing
TO pay money to have performed
1t matters little how high you
stood in the final "eXams, or
how much your education cost
