1T WOULDN'T HURT A BIT.

Grandmother was very raghtlaced in her ideas
and she would not fit in at all in these modern days
She rode sidesaddle with long skirts, and even
divided skirt and mans saddle would have shocked
her sense of propriety. She used lot of powder
and an occasional beauty patch to be sure, but
she applied both in the secrecy of her boudoir. She
blushed at any reference to sex, and when she
danced she cid so most modestly and with fairylike
grace.
OF course grandmother prudish, and en-
tirely too humble. She wasn't emancipated Her
kingdom was bounded by the walls of her home
Her chief ambition to be good wife and mother,
and as housekeeper she shone.
1t is different now, and most of US rejoice over
n majority of the points of difference.
But it wouldn't hurt bit if in these latter days
we could see more of the sweet whoesomeness that
grandmother had more of her shyness and modesty
more of her influence for good of her willing
ness to sacrifice for her loved ones; more of her
pride in the art of homemaking and housekee ping.
Grandmother did not reveal her charms quite so
freely az those who have come after her. but those
The did reveal were the charms of maidenly mod
esty interest in good works hepfulnes to those she
loved and willingness to shine in the reflected glory
Of those dearer to her than life itself.
It WOULDN'T hurt bit to have revival of the re-
hning influences that grandmother spread all about
her. 1t wouldn't hurt a bitsif the young folks of
today showed tthe of respect for their elders that
grandmother showed when she girl
In fact it wouldn't hurt bit if there more
of parental responsibility and youthful obedience,
.uch as existed in the far gone days when grand
mother was girl.

WORTH TRYING OUT ON YOUR OWN PIANO.

II. G. Taylor, member of the Nebraska Railway
Commission and president of the National Associa-
tion of Railway Commissioners, recently addressed
the utilities section of the American Bar Association
at Philadelphia. In his address Mr.. Taylor gave ut
terance to common sense principles that should
be pondered well by every citizen.
"The people need to learn again that the
government isn't good fairy rich unce it is
merely ourselves and can do all that can, but
more"
When this immutable truth is burned into the
minds of the American people, and acted upon in
sensible manner, may expect relief from many of
he troubles that beset.
The idea that the government do for the
people what they unwilling to do for themselves
has resulted in conglomeration of laws whose only
result is a growing disrespect for all laws The
prevalent idea that the public treasury is like the
widows cruise of OIL inexhaustibe, and to be drawn
upon at any and all times is the of high tax
alton. 1t seems to dawn upon some people
that matching dollars with the government" is an
impossbility, because the governments dollars
from the pockets of the taxpayers themselves and
both dollars from the pocket.
The man who will not work and not
be made prosperous by governmental action,
should he be. The who will not study and
learn can not be made wise by the enactment of
law Sobriety, frugality. honesty, outward man
ifestations of an inward spirit not the creature of
legislative enactment.
When the people learn that the government can
not do for them what they will not do for them
selves then we may look forward with confidence to
the time when a prosperity earned will be pros
perty permanent.
Merely Passing Law has yet solved any
problem worth while.

DIscoRDANT NOTE IN HARMONY CHORUS.

Somebody is off the key in the once boasted har-
monv Chorus of Nebraska democracy. But two
short years ago the Harmony Clubs of democratic
membership were mellifuously murmuring their en-
trancing barber shop chorus, while W. j. b. ana
brother c. w. B. were hummng the refrain from
the other edges, their fingers crossed to be sure
and now and then false note just to notify of their
presence.
But harmony the keynote and the guber-
natoral chair the reward for sweet music scattered
broadcast That was two years ago.
Now we have it from the organ Of the harmon
izers that somebody is insisting on singing De
parted DAYS" while the bunch wants to harmonic
on Hail. Hail, the Gangs All Here"
W J. B., who was so srenuously for harmony
when it meant the governorship for c, W. B., jumps
into the chorus and hits high in five sharps, while
the other fellows trying to sing along IN c
natural We may not have the musical diagnosis just
right but we do know that it does not require a
musical ear to distinguish the lack of harmony in
the Nebraska democratic chorus
Two years ago harmony meant better chance
for Brother Charey's election, while at the same
time affording opportunity to WELD the Bryan
snickersee under of darkness and upon the
political person of the man to whom the Bryans owe
more in political way than they could ever repay
were they disposed to repay those who sacri-
feed and worked for the Bryan advancement One
side of the Harmony CLUB Is elected governor py
80 900 while the other side is defeated for senator
by 80 900 That exemplifes the Bryan idea Of demo-
cratic harmony 1t again exemplifed at New
York when William J. Bryan, delegate from Flor
ida steps over into the Nebraska delegation and
issues his order that Nebraska must not cast its
vote for favorite unless that favorite son hap
pens to be his own favorte brother And as per
usual Nebraska democrats abandon their favorte
key and pitch their voices in harmony with the voice
of w. J. B.
Nebraska democrats of the common or garden
variety will be allowed to sing tenor or barytone,
but don't let them forget for minute that the
Brothers Bryan will attend to the rendition of the
bass. In that way only is it possible to recruit
cessful Harmony Clubs.
Where is the harmony Of Yesterday?
The winds have blown 1t all away.
