One wonders if Nature had not decided to make np what we humans in our stumbling material way, have been suf fering. For certainly the coun try from western Nebraska eastward never looked more glorious, nor for that matter more prosperous. Arising early this morning jiAt as the Over land, on time to the minute, was crossing the Mississippi river, we had the pleasure of seeing northern Illinois in the early sunrise hours, and won dered more than ever why some modern Corot has not placed this beautiful section of the earth's surface on canvas. Fat sleek cows grazing in lush green meadows ; obese pigs and swarms of little ones ; chickens, ducks on a pond; a perfect sea of corn, tasselled out higher than a man; grnin in the shock a threshing crew over there, pulling off the tarpaulin get ting to work, rolling hills, 'dotted with groves of trees; huge barns, comfortable farm houses, silos sticking up, like towers in the chateau country of France; a quiet, winding river below, a Budden hollow roar as the train dashes over a oreek, And they call this land BANKRUPT I Had the girl from San Fran cisco been up she wasn't, the entire train was asleep she might even have agreed some thing CAN be said for the Mid dle West. She refused to ad mit it through Nebraska. "Such space" she oomplained, and nothing in it. It's DE PRESSING I" . ' . No mountains, not even hills, no lakes no jscar and of course no eucalyptus trees the girl born a few blocks from Golden Gate park could n't see it at all. The trip from Wyoming eastward was to her a trip through Inferno. True it was hot, anddirty, and the landscape was like an ocean of corn in a state of dead calm, but to the writer even that had something a certain peace and contentment, even a kind of beauty, "All right jfor pigs and oows," observed the young girl but how can humans endure it."

Very modern and somewhat cynical, this young lady who is en, route to New Tork to study for the stage, but exceedingly intelligent, and refreshing in her honesty her complete absence of pose her clear-eyed (we almost said virile) candor. This morning she could scarcely have denied the beau ty, but of course it wasn't HER kind of beauty. Anyone waxing lyrical over northern Illinois she would regard as incredible a bit soft in the upper story. She would be wrong there however. The intolerance and immaturity of youth would be to blame. For it all depends or largely srj upon where one tfas born. It makes no differ ence, it may be the sea, the mountains, or fhe plains or the tenements of New Tork for that matter, that lyrical qual ity creeps in somehow, when we "go back home!" Another hing this trip has demonstrate)!. The people of this country, have as yet no interest in the presidential elec tion. Have no interest in things political. They are only in terested in business and when it is going to get better. - As one man who boarded the train at Kearney, Nebraska, expressed it, "I care a lot more about what the price of wheat will be next November than who will be elected. What dif ference does it make anyway Hoover or what's his name Roosevelt, it's all the same." No doubt, this public indif ference will change, and of course the local politicians are talking politics now as usual, but the rank and file, bot' : on the train and off showed no more Interest in partisan pnli tics than In the Sino-Japnrrese war. .Vice President Ourtis and his party passed us in western Nebraska, en route to , the Olympic games. The entire train knew he was coming but as far as we could find out only the present writer and one middle aged woman on the Overland took any interest in the matter.

Copyright King Features Bynd., Inc. Newspapers and public men in Europe muck this country for declaring violently against tanks and poison gas before the League of Nations and using tanks and poison gas against our own veterans, gathered in Washington to demand pay ment of their bonus. ' Hereafter perhaps this coun try wijl reserve some of the tender consideration that it pours out on foreign nations, for its own former soldiers. If you don't believe in using tanks and gas against foreign ers attacking your country, you should not use them against your own soldiers, plunged in misery and asking relief, jobs or the bonus from a government supposed to be grateful. ' Mr. Waters, commander In chief of United States veterans driven out of Washington by United States soldiers would start a "khaki shirt" party uniting In a great army all the veter ana and all the unemployed and 'clean o.t the high placet of govern ment." It Is easy to understand Mr. water's Indignation Immediately after events In Washington, but' reflection, and the average America!., will tell him that the United Statea la not at this moment inclined to turn over Its government to fssclst blackAhlrts, Hitlerite brown shirts 'or an Impro vised psrty of "khaki shirts." With the vets we have power to change our government If we haven't bralna enough tp use the vote wisely, w. should not have brains enough to um a khaki thlrt party wisely. a . rhe big news Is the start of the Olympic gamea In Loa Angeles, thirty nine nations from all over the world taking part, with the United Statea MADE UP OF EMIGRANTS FROM ALL - OVER THB WORLD holding more championships than any other nation. Some really "original" Americans, the Tarumaru Indians from Mexico, arouse your Interest. These genuine Americans, told that they were to compete In a marathon race of twenty-six miles three hundred and eighty-five yards, grunted and said "that is for boys." They want the marathon extended to ninety or at least eighty miles and give MEN a chance to show what they can do. The Frenchman Baron Pierre Cou- bertln, who revived th ancient Olymplo games, says "the Important thing In the gamea Is not to wit. but to take part; the Important thing In life Is not the triumph bi.. L.e strug gle; the essential thing la not to have conquered but to have fought well." Excellently put, but from the American point of view the Idea Is to take part AND WIN. To struggle, AND TRIUMPH, to fight well and CONQUER. , We can't always, put It through, but that Is the American program.
