Nebraska Editor
Scores Out-State
Critics of Omaha
Tells Readers Prosperity oI
Metropolis and Smaller
Cities Dependent Upon

Special Dispatch To The Omaha Bee.
Nebraska City. Neb.. Feb. 24.-The
Nebraska City Press, in an editorial,
calls upon the people Of that city and
of Nebraska as whole to realize
that prosperity for the state means
prosperity for all, that the tendency
in certain quarters to line up against
Omaha is taking a narrow view Of
things.
The editorial in the Press follows
Some narrowvisioned persons
who live in Nebraska have declared
recently that Omaha's economic trou-
bles, of which more or less has been
said throughout the state, will help
the remainder of the state, since
smaller communities will profit. mate
rally speaking, from the illness OF
the metropolis.
What foolish premise, How silly
to single track through such a men
tai fog as that suggests,

sibility.

we are safer. but az a business com

Auto Hobo Etiquette

ID may be the next necessity. According to
tales that are told, too many of our modern
gypsies are forgetting their good manners as
they hivver from place to place
Because few cities provide camping
space free, some auto hoboes have come to be-
lleve that the country owes them a place to
sleep. They have kicked furiously when con
fronted with charges of 25, so or Is cents
night for camp privileges.
They have gone into the national parks
and national forests, and left desolation behind
them. They have chopped down trees for their
fires, pulled up the wild flowers, and left tin
cans and refuse lying about. They have started
fires by carelessl y-thrown cigaret stubs.
Handling gypsy automobiles is new mu-
nicipal problem Fewer and fewer tows have
found 1t practicable to allow camping free of
charge. In many cases the city itself is get
ting out of the business and is giving it over to
private management, subject to rigid sanitary
supervision.

The Funnies
By Hal Cochran

Just as sure as father arrives
home at night, and sits himself
down for a rest, his knees soon are
holding a cute, tiny mite, and he's
put to a strenuous test.
The questions fly wild, as the dear
little child wants to know what has
happened that day. The answers
must come, whether smart ones or
dumb, just so father has something
to say.
Then wise little son, when the
questioning's done, gathers daddy
right into a trap. He'll hunt all
around till the newspapers found.
Then he'll hop right back into his
lap.
Does dad want to read?" is the
usual lead. For a while things are
still as~can be. Then the patience
gives way and the youngster will
say, Twill you please read the fun
MES to me?"

Scholarship and
Applause

n MEMBERS of this years graduating class
IlVll of the largest American university We're
asked which they would rather have won, the
big c." representing athletic proves, or the
Phi Beta Kappa key, representing scholastic
honor. They voted, two to one, for the
athletic trophy.
1t would be interesting to analyze the rea-
sons for this apparently cynical choice. 1t was
certainly not that these hundreds of intelligent
and educated young men regarded muscle as
more honorable than brains. Probably not one
of them personally would admire robust hod
carrier above the leader of one OF the learned
professions
But it doubtless did indicate that they re-
garded prominece in the sight of their fellows
as the most desirable human achievement. I'm
der the competitive system, a successful athlete
has had the chance to earn applause before
audiences of ten or hundreds of thousands and
to have his name blazoned by the press to mil
lions.
Scholarship While admittedly a nobler
achievement, brings no such reward. Measured
by this standard, the choice, while not
altruistic, was not foolish.

A GIFT
POLICY

T0HE senior class at the Uni
versity Of Notre Dame.
- South Bend. plans a novel
gift to it's alma mater-a life in
surance policy for $4,000.
The class will take out twenty
year endowment insurance on
certain of it's members with the
school as beneficiary. The class
will pay the annual premiums.
Upon maturity of the policy or
death of the insured the university
will collect.
The scheme is clever. BY this
plan each member of the class
will only give So or SO a year over
a period of years. Thus what will
ultimately be a very substantial
gift is made to the school in a way
that will cause the least dis
comfort and pecuniary stringency
to the donors.
OF course the members in whose
names the insurance is taken out
may suffer some embarrassment.
Their health will be a matter of
concern to classmates and uni
versity. They will be harassed by
the thought that they are ex-
pected to serve their school by
dying. They will feel that their
tongues and pulses are the
principal objects Of interest at
every class reunion.
The case is but another example
of the expansion Of the life in
surance idea in recent years.
What started out as plain
gamble has become one Of the
country's greatest businesses
serving to safeguard and stabilize
the future in all sorts Of ways.
Apparently somebody has faith
in the stability and permanence
of the United States. What an
insurance company sells today 1t
may not deliver for forty years.
Therefore 1t can't operate in a fly
by-night country.

Bill Hodge Still Belongs to Majority
While Few Learn Mighty Big Lesson

when l think of 'Lightnin, 1.-THE
First Year" and other wholesome
successes, there is 9, reason that
such plays as For All of Us" exist
to make people happy.
AS an example of playwriting,
my original idea regarding For All
of Us does not remain changed. but
where l was wrong was that 1 did
not recognize the heart value and
the lesson of right living that the
play does put over with telling eff
feet.
Never in my life have l posed as
a know it ALL and l am not going
to start it now. The history of this
play proves that the American pub
lie does want clean amusement.
That's the secret of the whole
works-clean amusement. it lives
in the hands and presence of Hodge
and HIS associates. II deserves to
live as clean entertainment. That
is the human thing, the big element
that figures in the great success of
tins play. 1t also explains "Abies
Irish Rose"
And the history Of our stage
proves that the plays that actually
live are the clean ones. And be-
cause of that ! welcome the verdict
of the majority upon For All Of
Us"
Just a word more-there are real
~ two stars in this play-Hodge and

his company. He will not be pcevod
