A Modern Ghost Story.

AS told by Bert Williams in the
Journal of the American Medical as
sociation:
A negro preacher lost his way one
night and sought shelter. lie was
told that the only place available
was a haunted house down the road
The preacher had his Bible with
him; he went to the haunted house,
built fire in the big room and sat
down to read the good book. Sud
denly a small black cat brushed past
him.
isn't it nice" thought the old
man, that there is life to keen me
company here In this gloomy place?'
The cat walked over to the fireplace,
ate a live coal and spit out the
sparks. The old man opened the Bi-
BILE and began to read aloud. Be
fore he could go further another cat
entered the room, a cat about as big
as a collie, and this cat walked over
to the fireplace and ate two live
Goals and spit out the sparks.
when are we gwine to begin?'
said the little cat.
I'VE can't do nothing till Martin
comes" replied the big cat.
Again the old preacher sought
consolation in the Bible, but third
cat entered the room. This one was
about as big as pony, and it ate
three live Goals and spit out the
sparks.
when are we g'wine to begin?"
said the little cat, and this time the
biggest one answered, 1--WE can't do
nothing till Martin comes"
The old man jumped up and put
his Bible in his back pocket and ran
for the door But before he went
out he said to the biggest cat
when Martin comes, you tell him
| was here, but All could not remain"

RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS.

The accident when small
child was run down by rapidly
driven automobile once more en-
phasizes thet need for some strin-
gent regulations regarding the
speed of cars at certain times or
in certain districts. Either ears
should be ruled off the streets
passing school houses at given
hours of the day or very low
rate of speed should be prescrib-
ed. 1t is usually partially or
wholly the fault of the child
when it gets hurt, for there is
no telling when one will dash in
to the street or make quick
turn, but it is nevertheless de-
sirable to safeguard the lives Of
the children and to prevent acci-
dents which often cripple them
for life.
On the other hand, many au-
toists are VIGOROUSLY careless, not
only endangering the lives of the
people ST crossings but all the
fine placing in jeopardy those
who are driving other cars, for it
seems to be necessary for the
careful driver to not only drive
his own ear but to drive the 9TH

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
Are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are the
result of DR.. Edwards determination
not to treat liver and bowel complaints
with calomel. For IL years he used
these tablets "a vegetable compound
mixed with olive oiD in his private
practice with great success.
They do all the coed that calomel
does but have TO bad after effects. No
pains, no gripping. no injury to the
gums or danger from acid foods yet
they stimulate the liver and bowels.
Take Dr.O Edwards Olive Tablets
when you feel "logy" and heavy. .
Note how they clear clouded brain and
perk up the spirits l0c and 2Sc boa.

Without definite information and in no con-
tentious spirit we ventured to question the ac-
curacy OF statement coming from the church
council at Lincoln. Admitting that the super
visor who made the report did find region of
/lO square miles in which the number of pro-
fessors OF religion is low, we object to its being
paraded as "a typical Nebraska county, 1t is
not typical in any sense On the contrary, it is
an extreme, as it is part of territory of 2,40O
square miles, with total population of 1850
There is as much reason for taking the densely
populated counties of Douglas or Lancaster
and pointing to them as typical" Of Nebraska.
The fact that two protestant and one Cath
olic minister are at work in that sparsely settled
region is sufficient proof that the spiritual needs
OF those pioneer dwellers are not lost sight Of
1t is also an indication that they have about as
much in the way of organized church work as
they can we'll support. A little further inquiry
will develop the fact that in some newer sec
tions of Nebraska church consolidation has
BEEN carried on to a considerable extent, with
result that the pastor in charge is paid bet
ter salary, has bigger congregation, and gen.
orally finds more wholesome spirit in the
community than if the work were divided BY
creeds and the people segregated into denom-
national groups.
The amount of money raised by the different
denominations in this state for carrying on the
work of their separate organizations is sign
OF the interest the people take in religion, for
| themselves and for others. If the interchurch
movement is to prosper, and in all fairness it
should its first endeavor ought to be in line of
effectively co-ordinating existing work, to the
end that the concentration will be productive
of a more efficient service from the organization
at hand

Morale or Money for the Teachers.

A report was made at a convocation of nor
NAL school teachers at Cleveland that the morale
of the schools is breaking under the stress of
presentday conditions. The principal difficulty
appears to be to get teachers to stick to their
work at the rate of pay offered. This is not
new or novel condition. 1t has been notorious
since the first effort at free education. The
original schoolmaster taught exclusively for the
love of his calling, the good he felt he was
doing in spreading enlightenment amongst the
multitude. To some extent the teacher today
is animated similarly but exigencies Of modern
life have thrust in other things that must be
given weight in the personal problem of the
man or woman who undertakes the profession.
The answer to these more or less extraneous
and personal questions lies with the public If
the schools of this land are to be maintained
at their high level, with standards unimpaired,
teaching corps must be kept equal to the de-
mand And this costs money. The issue is as
clear for Nebraska as it is for Ohio Pay of
teachers is too low, whether it be in the uni
versity, the high school, the graded city schools,
or the ungraded rural schools. Taxpayers will
have to reconcile themselves to paying more.
or see the standards suffer- for the well
equipped and efficient teacher can earn a great
deal more in another line than is offered in the
schools today.

To Do Away With Strikes.

A plan for an industrial court is to be laid
before the constitutional convention for con-
sderation. The underlying thought is to pro-
vide some better way of adjusting wage and
similar disputes without resort to the strike.
thoughtful labor leaders, in common with all
students of the industrial problems of America,
agree that way should be found for settling in
dustrial differences, making wage bargains and
the like without cessation of work. The strike
is to be resorted to only when all other meth
ods have failed. The employer, the employe,
and the public, to which both belong, are in
terested IN this. Wages lost through id1eness,
from Whatever cause, never can be restored:
the labor power representing them has pershed
beyond recall. This fact is the most impressive
in the whole situation. Just now the world
needs production more than it ever did. ANY
plan that will establish justice and produce har-
monious relations between the workers and the
employers is fof the good of all.

GEORGE wAsHINoToNs ADVICE.

Our first president the Father Of His Coun-
try, made no pretense to omnscience, gift of
prophesy, or foresight beyond that of mortal
man. He was a citizen of the United States
a man Of large experience, and imbued with a
deep patriotic concern for the we'll being of his
fellow citizens, the welfare of his country and
the perpetuity of its institutions. Inspired by
this and looking ahead as far as he might, when
he laid down his Office as president he addressed
himself to the people in message concerning
the future which embodies much wisdom.
The words of Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress may we'll be listened to at this moment
1t is true that the affairs of mankind have gone
ahead since his day, that methods and means
for communication have contracted the size of
the world, that "the splendid isolation" of
America is no longer what it was at the end
of the Eighteenth century. But the new era"
we are told SO much about has not yet so
completely established itself as to render un-
necessary or obsolete the political counsel given
by the great soldier and statesman, who was
first of all citizen of his country
Washington had ideals as lofty and as noble
as any that ever inspired man. He clung
tenaciousy to opinions that originated. in a
H!SH anu pure CoHCcpuon OF nDerty, or human
rights and of patriotic devotion But he had
no illusion as to the status of mankind. He
realized that the torch of freedom he had
helped to light and set up alongside the altar
OF liberty would burn as a beacon for mankind
SO long as those who clustered around its base
kept it provided with the oil so essential to its
burning. So far Americans have done this. The
rays sent forth from Liberty's torch have pene-
trated through the world No corner is so far
but some ray from this lamp has penetrated its
darkness
Yet the things that Washington apprehended
are as real today as when he described them or
intimated their presence. Human nature has
not greatly changed since then and liberty is
bought at the price of eternal vigilance now as
in his day. The republic will endure, just as
its people are watchful and jealous of their lib
erty Therefore, we commend the reading of
Washingtons words to Americans, because
they embody not only wise and patriotic advice,
but rule of conduct that we as a people can
not safely depart from very far.
