THE OLD ORDER PASSETH
Supplanting the old-time stump speeches of the can
didates and politicians, 1928 will usher in a new era of
campaigning. Radio will play an important part, but the
spoken appeal of radio has not yet been proved as con*
vincing as the personally spoken word or the printed
word. “Interpretive” political news stories and editorial
opinions will hold greater sway than any other factors.
For the same reasons that newspaper and magazine ad
vertising, that is, the printed page, has been vital to com
merce, the printed page wil not lose its convincing quali
ties in political salesmanship. The stump speech may be
all right so far as it goes, but it can not reach enough peo
ple to be of any considerable importance except in local
campaigns involving local issues.
If anybody actually knew who the next President
would be, we could save all this fusB.
APPROPRIATE EASTER SERVICE
ILuii a simplicity and stateliness like unto that of the1
Master, during his stay on this earth, the pageant
presented yesterday at the Community church by the
Jesse Lee Home climaxed what was undoubtedly the most
appropriate Easter service ever held in the city of Sew*
ard.
Beginning with the organ prelude and continuing
throughout the service was a note of reverence, enhanc-;
ed by beautiful singing and music, which could not but
make the large congregation feel the love and strength
of the Christ who rose nearly 2,000 years ago.
Evidently the right wing of a modern political party j
doth not know what the left wing doeth.
EASY TO PLANT
The investigators of the recent collapse of the St.
Francis dam claim to have found some evidence of dyna
miters. It should be remembered that “evidence” is not
“proof.” It is so easy to “plant” evidence, that nothing
short of absolute and positive proof should be conclusive, j
Senator Couzens has introduced a resolution in the
United States Senate proposing that Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon resign. People who live in peach states
shouldn’t throw lemons.
Arabs threatened a holy war, than which nothing
could be more un-holy.
Overser Voliva declares that he has had a communi
cation from Hades. Probably a hellegram.
Outstanding investment Admiral Building and
lot for sale (occupied by K & M Haberdashery)
strategically located in center of Seward busi
ness district. Size of lot 30x100 feet. Total
floor area approximately 1530 square feet.
Modern plumbing and electric wiring. Splen
did Hercules Furnace. Fine basement
Street entrance between two large display

ble buyer.
