His manner of saying that was
so quiet, so undemanding, that
Keith could not be exaSperated.
What is there to think about
though, father? I can't be blamed
for not letting her know I was

Keith, that I've no right to ask

"Of course I will" He was just
a little impatient about it, though.
What was the use of long discus
sion?
His father said: "I want you to
stop and think of the person in this
situation about whom no one ever
thinks, except with sort Of amuSe-

you to think of her husband"
Not much use now, is it?"

II don't doubt it. She's not,

His father hurried his words.

HOLDING OUR END UP

If the average citizen who is barely
making ends meet, or who is falling be-
hind financially would check himself up
he might find some interesting facts con-
corning his affairs.
He would probably find, among other
things, that his difficulties arise prin-
cipally from his indulgence in the ancient
game of trying to outshine his neighbors. II
Take our automobile problem for eS-
ample First our neighbor buys an mex
pensive car, and we must do likewise-on
the instalment plan. Then before it is
paid for another friend invests in a six
cylinder machine, so in order to keep up
appearances we must take another plunge,
probably going him little better.
1t is the same with other things. We
must have better radio set than the
family next door; better furniture; more
stylish clothes. We must send our Mary
to an expensive boarding school because
Mrs. Jones is sending her Sally-when
both would be as we'll or better off in the
home town high school. Then we must
give expensive parties for which the Smiths
or Browns have set the pace. We must
have extensive vacation trips, when we
might see as fine collection of billboards
rightsat home. And we wonder why We
seem to get hopelessly behind financially.
It is safe to say that at least one-third
of the average family's income is spent for
such qualification of vanity, beyond what
would be necessary to live decently and
comfortably.
And by reasonable economy lot of
people who can not or do not pay their
honest debts might be able to do SO, and
thereby enjoy satisfaction equal to that
of keeping up with the Joneses."

power was to be vested in one SUI
preme Court and in such inferior
courts as Congress should create.
Judges were to hold office during

Prolonged debate followed sub
mission of the report. Beginning on
August Z, it continued through many
days.
Probably the first serious dis
cussion conferred on the qualifications
of electors who would vote for mem-
bers of the House of Representatives.
Some members proposed limiting the
vote to property owners. Others
fought to make it as broad as possible.

THE right of suffrage is certainly
one of the fundamental articles
of a republican government" said
James Madison, of Virginia.
Ultimately it was agreed that
electors in each state should have
the same qualifications as electors
of the most numerous branch Of
their state legislatures.

.sWE. THE PEOPLE

f. During the first week Of August.
1887. members Of the Constitutional
Convention meeting in Independence
Hall heard three. striking words
which formally identified the real
masters Of the new government they
were creating. a4FG3sis
Those words were, we. the people
Ia phrase distinctively associated
with our nation throughout all its
$50 years Of history.
They introduced the opening SEN
tence Of the preamble of draft
Of the Constitution presented to
the Convention from its Committee
of Detail" when it reconvened on
August 6. after ten days recess.
There were many other phrases
and provisions in that preliminary
draft which remain in the United
States Constitution today. But there
were also proposals which were
amended In subsequent actions by
the Convention.
Among Its many provisions. the
report as submitted proposed that:
The new government should be
called ''the United States of America"
and consist of Executive, Legislative
and judicial branches.
The Executive power should be in
one person known as 1.-THE Presi-
dent of the United States of Ameri-
ca" with the title, His Excellency.
He was to be chosen by Congress
for a term of seven years. and to
be ineligible for reelection. There
was no provision for Vice President
Legislative authority should reside
in q Congress composed of two
branches, Senate and a House OF
Representatives, with powers to levy
and collect taxes. to regulate COM
merce with foreign nations and
among the states. and various other
duties more or less familiar today
The upper branch, or Senate
should be chosen by the legislature:
Of the several states, and be com.
posed Of two members from each
state, who would serve for six years
Apart from legislative duties, it wa.
given authority to make treaties. x

A KINGS SUGGESTION

King Leopold. of Belgium. has sug-
gested to Prime Minister Paul van iceland
that there should be an international or
ganization to solve world economic prob
lens
Can it be that the King has never
heard of the American isolationists and
that he. fails to understand how easily they
solve everything on national basis? Is
this another scheme on the part of mon
archy in general to outmanoeuver demo-
cracy and entangle it in some gathering
where its prophets viii lose face?
Seriously, however. there is merit to
the suggestion even if many professional
patriots in many of the nations viii fear
to sit around a table and discuss problems
with anybody with an accent. The peace
OF the world depends very often, upon
the ability of people TO solve economic
problems and it seems sensible for those
who want peace to give some thought and
time to them.

one of the first members of the house of
representatives to come out openly against
supreme court reform, and stated If there
was TO be any change in the enlargement
of the tribunal, it should be done in an or
derby manner in Constitutional Amend
ment submitted to the people for rejection
or approval. Mr. Wilcox did not sit on
the fence to discover which way the wind

A TAX OASIS

That the citizens of Nebraska are to
be enved, at least for their happy situa-
ton regarding taxes and their state debt,
is pointed out in an editorial in a recent
issue of the Chicago Journal of Com
merce.
1t states that in spite of the almost
nationwide increase in both the kinds and
the amounts of taxes being levied, Ne
braska still has no state cigarette tax, no
individual or corporation income tax, and
no general retail sales tax.
Furthermore, the general property
tax for the state and all its subdivisions
is only IA million dollars for 1887, as COM
pared with sc million ten years ago. Alsoy
there is no state bonded debt, and the
bonded debt of all the states subdivisions
has been reduced from a total of 10 mil
lion in 1882 to approximately 10 million
at present.
Thus, as President W. L. Pierpont of
the Omaha Taxpayers Association so apt
ly says: Nebraska remains an oasis in
the taxation situation
The reason for this highly favorable
itirl1 II statgEl to be the alertness of
