Editorial
Transportation at all Hazards

Whether the railroad difficulty is to
be settled or not, it is to be hoped that both
sides will have been chastened by the eh
ormity of the calamity, threatened or ac-
tual.
Railroad transportation is the most
important necessity there is in wide land
that holds one hundred and five millions
of human beings. 1t is more important
than food and the means of buying food
depend on transportation so far as the
mass of that one hundred and five million
human beings are concerned.
This nation cannot endure proong-
ed cessation of railroad operations, any
way not until air and motor transportation
become more important and dependable
As matter of fact it should not have to
endure a shutdown of traffic for even a
week or day.

Colorado-Made Goods Week
To the People of Colorado:

To the People of Colorado:
The Colorado earned dollar should
be spent in Colorado. Industries should
be supported by those who are benefited
by their existence. By enlarging indus
tries employment is provided for more
workers. No state can reach its great
destiny unless it upfts its entire citizen
ship from the humblest aborer to the
largest employer.
1t is gratifying to see the Colorado
Made Goods Club movement organized
by women and endorsed by all large
women's organizations of the state, stand
ing by their pledge "to buy Colorado
Made Goods and to make an effort to get
Colorado Made Goods" Such cooperation
will undoubtedly result in greater Colo
RADIO,
/. therefore. heartily endorse the
work of the Colorado Made Goods Club
and hereby set aside the week of October
from the 23rd to the 30th. as Colorado
Made Goods Week. And ! earnestly urge
all business men, commercial organiza-
tions, schools and churches to unite in

reputation as a singer of words. but hav-
ing lived in Nebraska most of his life
although born in lllinois-the legislature
of Nebraska only recently declared him
the states poet laureate by official reso-
luton.
This new star in our bright firm
ament of national genius is-praises be.
not one of the blank verse tribe that is
squeaking and shrieking its way through
our present history. Read this verse from
Neihardt's poem Battle Cry:
More than half beaten, but fearless,
Facing the storm and the night;
Breathless and reeling but fearless,
H. in the lull of the fight,
i who bow not but before Thee,
God of the fighting clan,
Lifting my fists l implore Thee,
Give me the heart of a mani"
A vivid picture, strong sense that
thrills the very soul, mighty prayer
all in eight lines, or less than so words.
Compare that with the cheap drivel of the
blank verse bolshevks who are trying to
age.
Neihardt is 40 and conner. He is q
product of the small town, Sharpsburg,
H., and Bancroft, Neb. He will do great.
er and greater work and our best wish
to him is that he shun the precincts of the
big city and all that that means to the
literary genius.

Honey Philosophy for 1922

How often do we say to another.
We'll, you are welcome to your opinion !"
And how often do we mean it? Not once!
Under the skin we are peeved at the
other fellows opinion. Yet what hum
drum world this would be if it were not
that humans have different notions about
things.
Incidentally, next time you say to n
man, You are welcome to your opinion"
try to say it wholeheartedly and with an
expression in your face that shows plainly
that you really mean it. Then note how
that fellow warns up to you. You'll con-
vert many man to your own opinion by
doing that very thing.

SYMPATHY.

We wouldn't give two figs for
that neighborly sympathy which
is called to life only by the hush
;of death. And that is one rea-
son why some folks do not like
the public card of thanks. There
should be no occasion for
thanking folks for simply doing
their duty. If your home CATCH
es fire it stands to reason the
neighbors will help you to save
what they can. If you are
stricken by the death Of a men,
Der of the family, it is only
common decency upon the part
of your friends to come to your
aid. And yet this mere assist
ance is so rare that we have
seen strong men with tears
streaming down their faces as
they felt the heart-break of part
ing with a loved one. say ''What
would we do without friends 2"

thy ought not to be so rare that

practice it toward our neighbor
every day of our lives. You
don't know how q showing of
interest, a kind word or a hear

the poor devil who is trudging
under a load he keeps hidden
from the public game.
And, then, there is Mother.
It isn't much Of a task making
Mother happy: As her hair
whitens and the light in her
eyes begins to fade, her wants
grow correspondingly simpler.
But she wants to know that she
sometimes is in your thoughts
wants to be kept in mind. She
needs little change from the
monotonous routine Of her life.
Can't you manage to give her
one? Think it ever and do
something for Mother. Give her
a little gift some other time
than upon Christmas day.
And you fellows who have
left the old home and are far
fromt her. don't fancy that q let
