PANICKY PARTY LEADERS What congress needs is not So much statesmanship as plfcin every day courage. The long session of the sixty eighth congress convened Monday. Republicans have a nominal slight majority in both branches. If par ty lines hold they can put through whatever measures they wish. With the president belonging to the same party there Is, If partisan laneis mpan anvthinsr. no reason In the world why the winter's legislative program cannot be made to order In the councils of the dominant group. It is a situation exactly suited to in telligent, courageous leadership. Yet the LaFollette group, nominal ly republican, is a constant night mare to party leaders. Combining with the democratic minority it might prevent the organization of the house and senate by friends of the administration. Republican lead ers are afraid to conciliate this radi cal group; they are equally afraid to read LaFollette and his follows out of the party. The Wisconsin senator is ranking majority member of the interstate commerce committee. By the senior ity rule he will become chairman If Senator Cummins gives up the posi tion in order to continue president protern., as he is much inclined to do. Quite" easily, it appears, the senior ity rule could be abrogated in this case and someone other than LaFol lette made chairman. Republican leaders agree it should be done, but they lack the courage to go through with it. The chairmanship of the house judiciary committee is vacant owing to the defeat of Volstead. This is the committee that handles prohibi- ion legislation. The man in line to succeed Volstead is Graham of Pennsylvania, who is as wet as Vol stead was dry. The house is dry thru and thru; yet the majority leaders calmly look on Graham's elevation as an earthquake of a hurricane. The tax reduction program of Sec retary Mellon met a widespread pop ular endorsement. If the proposal bears fruit In lower taxation it is essential that no extraordinary ex penditures be entered into by this congress. Scores of congressmen ad mit this, adding their private en, dorsement to the Mellon program yet are quick to say that the soldier bonus is certain of enactment. Con gressmen who talk thus. 'will, of course, be the first to climb into the band wagon. - They talk of the bonus as of tomorrow's weather some thing that however reprehensible cannot be prevented. If the seniority rule in committee appointments is bad as It most as turedly is bad now is the time to smash it. If LaFollette is not want ed as interstate commerce chair man, the majority leaders ought to have courage enough to refuse him the place. If the dry house objects to a wet chairman of its prohibition committee, it is mere political cow ardice that permits him to get the place. Next year we elect a presi dent, but that should not make po litical cowards of the party leaders in power. Just simple, old tasnioned courage. That is what congress, needs. It is a bad time for party . leaders to lose their nerve. Somebody has been looking over the cash book kept by Queen Eliza beth when she was yet a princess. It was a time of considerable extrava gance at court, yet in the year 1551 this royal flapper blew in less than 4,000 pounds in English money. The book shows such items as twenty shillings for a bible and forty shill ings for a stoup of canary wine. There are other items that might be entered today, but there were no pay ments for mah jongg lessons or mar cel Waves. any Salss IJov; Boohed! I have many sales booked and some open dates.

Bldg., Plattsmouth I-I-I' 'H-l-H-I"I-I"HI BRYAN ASKS POWERS IN CASS COUNTY CASE Directs Six Inquiries to Attorney General Regarding: Quinton Wants No Confusion. Lincoln, Dec. 5. Governor Bryan today asked Attorney General Spill- man for a secific definition of the governors' power in regard to the suspension of Sheriff C. D. Quinton of Cass county from office pending indictments returned against him for alleged failure to enforce the prohi bition laws and making false rports as to fees collected. Before taking any action in the matter, the governor wishes to as certain just what are his legal pow ers regarding both the removal of a sheriff and the appointing of a tem porary successor. The following inquiries are made in the letter mailed Wednesday to Attorney General Spillman: "I hand you, herewith, tne com munication of the grand jurors to gether with the communication from the district clerk of Cass county, and also copies of indictments against Sheriff Quinton as submitted by the clerk of the district court, and re quest that you 'carefully examine these communications and indict ments and give me the benefit o your opinion on the '""j,"1 ty to suspend the sheriff and appoint, a temporary sheriff under the statute, that was adopted by the recent ses- sion of the legislature, giving the eovprnor authority to suspend a. sheriff and appoint a temporary onej in his place pending the determina tion of charges or complaints that would be filed by direction of the ; governor by the court? j "Second Does the indictment ofi Sheriff Quinton for the reasons suspending Sheriff Quinton; having the attorney general commence quo wsnanto proceedings to have him ousted from office? "Third Has the chief executive of the state authority to direct the at torney general to file quo warranto oroceedings to have Sheriff Quinton ousted from office and has the gov ernor authority to suspend Sheriff Quinton from office pending the de- tamiinallnn ef salrl nun uarr.ititfi O i.v i "" . nroceediiiKS for malfeasance in of ! See? "Uourth If the governor has au-1 thority to suspend the sheriff for' malfeasance in office, who has the authority or whose duty is it to ap- point a temporary acting sheriff dur-; ing the time'that the court Is determ-! ining the result of the quo warranto proceedings? . "Fifth Do -,the indictments and various counts un ine indictment or Sheriff Quinton for malfeasance in office, as set forth in the copies of the gTand Jury's indictment of Sher iff Quinton of Cass county, as shown in the copies of the indictment hand ed you herewith, furnish sufficient evidence of malfeasance in office to Jurtify the governor in suspending the sheriff from office and directing quo warranto"' proceedings of ouster against the sheriff shall be commenc ed in the proper court? "Sixth If. in your opinion, the chief executive of the state has not the authority to commence action for the suspension and removal of the sheriff of Cass county, or if, in your Judgment, the evidence or facts sub mitted in the indictments returned against the sheriff by the Cass coun ty grand Jury, are not sufficient to authorize or justify the chief execu tive in commencing action to give the people of Cass county the reliei that they ask for through the com munication of the grand; jurors, as submitted herewith, will you kindly indicate for the consideration of the governor of the state of Nebraska, what official or department has au thority to commence action, and what action would be proper to take to give the people of Cass county the relief that they have asked for?'

WEEPING WATER FARMERS IMPROVE ROAD TO TOWN Our business men and the farmers north of towi put in Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, doing real work on the street that goes up over Gospel Hill. The farmers brought teams and all of the work was donat ed, which shows the public spirit of our comiuunity. All persons interest ed in making a goo roa out of town from the north were on hand to lend their aid. Wednesday the county took a hand and put the grader on the north side of the hill aiil cut it down, taking the dirt and all the rock out, and made a fill at the Henry Smith house where they vil make the road 24 feet wide. Ole Olson will be remembered kind ly through the years for the vision he had of Gosiel Hill and this street cne of the best in town. It takes a dreamer of flrams to see things with the practical ability back of the dreams to make them come true and be a public ienefactrr. With the rock taken out of the hill by Mr. Olaon, the men saw that a good road out of town to the north whs not Mich a big job as it has look ed to be tmough the years.
