American Legion, regrets exceeding
ly htat the state officers should have
felt impelled to this step. The legion
Is supposed to be non-partisan, and
to endorse no candidates. While this
list Is not, on the face of It, in vio
lation of the rules, it la a plain at
tempt to elect men who will stand
for compensation. As If a politician
uad to vote the way he promises.
The "intelligent committee" of the
American Legion, department of Ne
braska, has submitted a report on all
Candidates for state, congressional
nd legislative offices. The report
hows that most of the candidates
took part in hove activities and
"helped to win the war." Evidently
the committee Judged the candidates
principally on their attitude toward
the compensation bill, favored by the
league, and the record that that the
majority of them are In favor of It.
The Republican gubernatorial candi
dates have a pretty fair record. Five
et them either were in the flervice,
tried to enlist or advocated or signed
the iman language bill, which seems
to have been taken as a test. The
Democratic candidates for governor
are not so fortunate. Shumway and
Clark are given as favoring the sold
iers' compensation bill, but Jackson
nd Morehad are down as lukewarm.
Sixth district congressional candi
dates, Beam and Klnkald, are in
favor of compensation, but the first
la down as a non-partisan leaguer
nd the second as having voted
gainst the declaration of war, the es
pionage act and the draft bill. The
Uerald's editor, a member of the
The highjackers have changed
their base. Iustead of confining
their efforts to the cities, they are
now making Inroads Into the smaller
totwns, and Droken Bow reports the
robbery of a drug store in that city
by men who were undoubtedly
searching for booze. The druggist Is
a mighty mean man, though, for he
has passed the word about that in
stead of stealing booze, the thieves
had made away with grain alcohol
containing a deadly poison corro
sive sublimate. And then, tot make
the highjackers more uneasy, this
druggists states that this poison Is a
slow one It may not show its ef
fects for days. If the thieves have
swallowed any of the stuff, they'll be
In deadly mental torture for the next
two weeks, whether the druggist was
spoofing or not. For our part, we see
no reason why perfectly good alco
hol should be ruined with bichloride
of mercury, but druggists are pecu
liar people.
Some fiery Britons declare Europe
will not submit to the financial ty
ranty of the United States, the Infer
ence being that America Is selfish and
grasping in refusing ot lend any more
money to Europe. There seems to
be an Idea "over there" that they
have every right to our cash because
they need It In their business.
There a rent's any signs present out
our way that a depreciated foreign
exchange has brought down the price
of foods, but, at that, one can be
tickled to death If he wants to, we
suppose, that It didn't go up.
An exhibit opened In ' Chicago
showed novelty goods largely of
American make. Before the war
Germany was making these goods to
be sold here. The war has developed
a reliance on our ability to supply
all our own wants, which Is another
blow at the business supremacy the
war started to establish for Its
authors.
