THE DfllüY TIDINGS EDI C. J. READ, MANAGING A SH LAN D D A IL Y T ID IN G S TTie Colorful Nineties In retro*) **<*t a famous w riter not long ago com- ¡a^ed the decade of the nineties with the progress o f the present period o f national developm ent and prosperity' much to the* discredit of the nineties. In fact the nineties were set forth as “ drab.” And yet those of us in middle life w ill remember that development o f the eouiftry town began with the nineties. We had just emerged from the bitter jealousies and feuds of the ante-war period, and neighbors had found that the fam ily next door really w asn’t so bad after all. Business com petitors ceased to fight eaph other and devoted their time and advertising to building their own business. Political conditions Were commencing to improve; the old “ town korkns” was eliminated , and .we 'adopted the' “primary’ and the ^Austrian ballot. Church quarrels became less bitter, and the social elements of the community found that it was worth while to work in unison for «the general uplift. There . came about, gradually o f course, a widespread feel- i ing that the world was good and that all o f ns owed I some obligation to society. * People began to get healthier and happier in the j nineties. Medical research brought the abolition o f- many d is e a s e imeh as gmall-pox, yellow fever and ‘ o^her dread physical scourges, and taught that purer water could dim inish the long list o f intestinal .' disorders. Deaths, o f mothers in childbirth and of in- ’ fa n ts were checked. People of fifty found that they j were not yet ready for the undertaker. « - And the conveniences that became the property ; of all! W ater from a faucet, electric ligh t, telephones, ¡paved streets, sewers, freer use o f fresh air, better ¡and cheaper newspapers and m agazines. All these 'a n d more were the possession o f the country town for the first time* and even in the cities there was a j movement toward the larger spread o f u tilities and ; better undertanding o f health rules. * Of course the age in which we live ig infinitely ; better than the nineties, even though the older folks ; have lcwt* the thrill o f their early enthusiasm , but •th e nineties brought the b e g in n in g o f-th e new eta, -th e first real understanding o f th e forces u f nature, I the first soundings of the. real heart and soul of ¡Am erica. J W e are livin g better and enjoying more content jo f the spirit now adays; we have found larger uses j for the old inventions and discovered a lo t more ■ since the world war; bu t we m ust not forget that ¡the colorful nineties started ns on the w ay to that '.happiness and splendid civilization to w hich all of ¡us under the providence o f God are entitled to a gen- ;erons portion. * . W hatever was the m atter w ith Kansas w as a na tion-wide complaint, and we ju st commenced to find it out and seek a remedy in the nineties. That Cussedness Called Pride H ow that stubborn cussedness in human nature which ia usually m iscalled pride can interfere with happiness is aptly illustrated by the former Nebras ka man and his w ife, remarried after 37 years of separation. They married and had ten children and were happy for eighteen years. A nd then they quarreled and she took the youngsters and went home to mother and wandered aw ay. He would not coax and cajole, she would not forgive and forget. And 6o the two o f them, divided by a gu lf o f wilful obstin acy, even though love was still in their hearts, sought happiness in other marriages. Their children have re-united them now, after a generation o f time. On the tw ilight of life, well past 70 years o f age* they w ill take up the broken threads of their romance. How much better it would have lieen, how much more joy they m ight have had, if she had been less quick to anger, he less con stant in w ilfnllness, when their first separation loom ed! If there be any rule for happiness and success in marriage, it would be the one that man and wife must give and forgive, yield much, overlook much, for the greater glory o f happiness is gettin g along with each other. WiH Rogers’ Novel Idea \\ ill Roger» make* the best anggestion y et for President C oolidge’s vacation. He says of the president: “ Put him on a farm with the nnderstand- in g that he has to make his own living off it, and I ’ll bet he’ll give the farmers relief n ex t year. I offer him mine for the experiment, and if he m akes A»go of it he is not a president, h e ’s a m agician .” I fiends of the president* in defending his course towards the farmers, like to refer to him as a “ farm e r ” who understands the farmers and their pfob- W d l, Henry jan’I the only f i i w er driver ever pUbhcd off the road.
