Lincoln, Nebraska,-February
%. Last Saturday night at Liz
coin, Nebraska, the annual Foun-
ders' Day Banquet was held at
The Lincoln Hotel. 1t was spon-
Sored by members of the Repunli-
can party. Men and women were
there from all over the state, one
thousand of them, to hear and
cheer 1.-THE spoken word. Nearly
every racial group in our Amer;c-
an population was represented at
the banquet table, and many races
"had actors in the play. The pre-
siding officer and president Of
Founders Day was named Holm
quist, The First Vice President
was named Mrs. Edna Rasten Don
aid, another was named Fraser,
another Mockett, while VIM. Stew
art was Secretary and George B.
Cook was treasurer.
u. S. Senator Hugh Butler, Gov
ernor Dwight Griswold, Rep. State
Chairman Kenneth Wherry, who
in 1910, by the force Of his genius
raised the Nebraska Republican
party from the dead, and Mrs. FL

Republicsh National Cimmittee-

During the day, pursuant 10
plans of the clever Edna Basten

Some so-called Christians begin

Easter they return to their c;.rnal

Election upon our Lord Jesus

erican Predicament".
At the evening banquet, Mr..
Wheeler Mcmillan, Editor of a
Philadelphia Farm Journal, deliv-
cred an unique argument on agri-
cultural economy, in which he
maintained that the views adv
anced by Vice President Wallace,
that all doors are closed to agrIc-
ulture, because all lands are now
occupied, is little short of non
sense. And he pointed out that
through production of farm prod
ucts and chemistry an era of pros
perity lies before US which will
surpass anything previously
known.
During the day and evening
these were the things I saw and
heard. At the banquet table, fac
ing me was a blonde woman, on
her right sat a Scotchman, beside
him an Irishman and to the right
Of the Irishman sat a Swede. On
my right sat a Scotch-Irishman,
and next to him sat a woman of
Jewish faith, while on my left sat
the son of the Scotch-Irishman.
All over the DOM were the child
rer of nearly every race and land.
I was the only person of color at
the feast. Again and again the
"Japs'' were mentioned, but there
was an entire absence of funny
stories" about Negroes, which Of
ten mar otherwise fine meetings.
My Scotch-Irish banquet friend
was solicitous of my comfort and
was fearful that I might per-
chance be seated by someone who
might be color conscious. Ev-
erywhere I went throughout the
hotel courteous treatment was al
ways accorded me.
The SOCIAL BEHAVIOR of
the leaders of Founders Day as
well as that of the rank and file,
was commendable. But I wond-
cred, as I went "hither and yon'
among the guests of Founders
Day, if the fact that ten thousand
colored voters in this state who
constitute the balance of pow

lied through me. Whatever tho
reason, they all behaved as civil

Perhaps, also, the liberal lead

might have set this pattern. And
it may be that this pattern will
broaden until the experience which

Japan TAKES THE DUTCH
EAST INDIES

Japan has almost completed ner
seizure of the Dutch East Indies.
The population of the islands is
variously estimated at 6O,OOO,oOO
to so, 1000, 900. The native non
white population is 80 percent OF
the total. Java, the wealtnlest
and most densely populated of the
group, contains the precious AMI
base metals in abundance and the
fertility of the soil is matched no
where else outside parts of Africa.
The Dutch have been in the IS
lands a comparatively short time.
They claim title to them through
treaty; the usual term applied
in such cases.
The natives are said to be No
hammedans in so far as they pro-
TESS any faith at all. They will
constitute q rich prize Tor japan.
Japan, however, in judgement
is looking toward Australia as an
outlet for her population.
Australia could very easily &C
ccmmodate the total japanese
population for the next half CEN
fury, allowing for a normal in
crease of 1000, 900 per year. She
would like to get India, but here
is trouble. Great wealth, to be
sure, but already a dense popula-
ton to consume it, and one that
is ready to fight to keep it.

The Omaha Guide, long ago, ar
nounced it would support Kenneth
Wherry, if he files. It will do so,
because it believes he is able, hon
est and sincere. He is well educ
ated, a product Of the college AID
law school of the state university.
He served as a captain in the arm
ed forces of the United States cur
ing the First World War, and
throughout his adult life has been
a valiant fighter for everything
which he believes to be for the
common good. Now, as always,
he has been the friend and champ
ion of the farmer and worker and
business man who live and serve
within the law.
When he was made Republican
State Chairman in 1910, the Rep
ublican Party in Nebraska was
DEAD. He breathed into it the
life and led it into victorious bat
tie.
In the election of 1910, no rep
ublican leader matched his per-
feet record by electing every state
candidate to office. OF course,
he had support, but he had it be-
cause he knew how to get it and
hold it.
He is a liberal, Independent, pro.
gressive man, for whom it will be
a privilege for the men and wom-
en- Of this state to vote.
The United States Senate needs
men of the Wherry type in its
councils. 1t needs the character
and intelligence which he will con-
tribute in national service and the
integrity and sincerity he will be-
stow.
If he files for the exalted office
of United States Senator, we be
lieve he will be elected. And we
know he will be in every way a
worthy member of the greatest de-
-,
Lucrative body in the world which
has been graced by so many dis
tinguished men.
Were it left to the Omaha Guide
to decide, Kenneth Wherry would
be elected by reclamation.
