PRESS COMMENT.
EAR1H'S RICHEST MAN,

In thls day when ali mankind
 seems srenzied With a passion fol
 money-getting and men are figur-
 atively clambering over one an-
 other in a mad race for gold it is
 indeed refre .shing to note one citizen stand up and out away from the dollar-chasing rabble
 throw back his proud head, expand his chest and, with a broad sweep of his nightly arms, solemnly de- clare himself to be the richest man in all the world.
 This richest man is known on Fifth avenue; Wall street never heard of him, and, perhaps, never will even know his name. He does not live in a mansion nor in fashionable apartments; he knows nothing about making money, and cares less.
 He is simply an humble black smith, living ill Pierce, Neb., and measures his vast fortune, not in dollars nor the weight of his name on a bank check, but in happiness!
 u Is good for the soul to read Ills appraisement of his wealth as he recently gave it in a letter to his home newspaper, The Nor folk News:
 Il wonder if you knew that one of the richest men in the world lives IA miles north of Norfolk, right here in Pierce, Neb. That man is the writer l am just a common plug blacksmith, but, oh. how rich! l go to my labors each morning, work until noon, go to dinner, return at l D. m. and work until 6 o'clock. enjoy the great est of all blessings-good health. Rockefeller would give all he pos sesses in money or holdings for my stomach, but he can't have it..
 'I have a most wonderful little wife. She has stuck to me 22 years now, so l know she must be dandy to accomplish that. have a little home, beautiful lit- tie daughter, a son grown to ma turity and now in life's game for Rich? Why, man alive, who can possibly be, richer?
 'Then to add to, all the above riches. I take down my old shot gun in season and ramble thru the fields, woods and tangle in search of the elusive cottontail teal or mallard, with my faithful old pointer at heel (now past II years old), and he is as happy as when ae are on the hunt. Then when

night has spread it's mantle over this good old universe I settle down in a good, old, easy chair, enjoy a smoke and then roll into bed to be embraced by Morpheus, and never hear a sound until the beautiful break of another day. Rich, did you say? We'll, I guess Dollars No, not many. You inquired about riches, not material wealth ?, .3,
 How; tetasyiiit is tol be rich, and how futile is the chase after mon. ey, however successful, as this fine philosopher proves it to be!
 And how easy and sweet and altogether worth while is life when it is lived at this man lives it!- Montgomery Advertiser.
 "The average pay of railroad trainmaster is $325 month about equal to the base pay of a colonel; bricklayers employed on government work in Washington and vicinity are paid $9 day, or at the rate of $3,S62 a year; the base pay of a captain is $2,400," says the Philadelphia Ledger. An army correspondent who sends the clipping adds: "Moral: Get order ed to duty as a bricklayer." Ar. my and Navy Journal.
 It is amusing to watch trained dogs and monkeys go thru their tricks, but when humans cut the same didoes at social functions, it is calculated to make one asham- cd of his race.-Dumas (Ark.) Desha County Democrat.

The supreme court decision that constitutional requirements were not fulfilled in summoning the legislature in special session in September brings out an error that will cost the people $45,O0o and commissioners of improvement districts considerable unnecessar work. It also recalls that in the matter of the issuance of pardons to convicts the law requiring that
 notice of the petition be printed for 50 days in a newspaper in the county where the conviction took place also is ignored.

the beginning of next November Chat is, November, 1919), to cal general strike of all miners and metal workers in the United States; that they have three mil lion adherents in that country where they will be able to seize one western and two Atlantic ports; that a large number of American soldiers were preparing to take sides with them, and that they proposed to establish a capital of a reformed government of the United States in the state of Colo rado; that when such a revolution was successful, the Mexicans ren- dering their assistance, the border states which were acquired by the United States under the treaty of 1848, would be returned to Mexi- CO.,"
 How much of the remainder of the representations of the three delegates concerning the plot to overthrow the American. govern ment is true is. not known, but the strikes in the steel trades and the coal mines indicate that the con- spirators were either good proph cts or that their fellow conspira- tors were able to deliver" when the time came.
 The mass of people in this coun- try are not sympathetic with such anarchists or with their ideas, but the danger, and the thing we must guard against is of being made unintentional tools of these ena- mics of ours, who may appear in the role of benefactors and seek to enlist support in movements ostensibly far removed from con- nection with anarchy, and yet in reality part of gigantic scheme to bring about in America such conditions as prevail in Russia.
 These enemies of Americans will work among any who tolerate them, and enough evidence al- ready has been obtained to show that they will provoke disturb ances wherever they can, with view to creating the condition of unrest which they believe will enable them to murder the clear-visioned Americans and seize control of the country.
 Be on guard! .4
