It seems to be mostly those with railroad passes and whom our merchants carry from one pay day to another. It this right?

It took a century of steady campaigning to bring prohi bition. For 40 years a steadily in creasing percentage of citizens failed to vole; the tide has been turned, but it may take another 40 to undo the past. Economic and sociological reforms are about as slow. Chang ing a national tendency in America is like turning an ocean liner around with a canoe paddle. DEFENSE POLICIES Both Secretary Weeks of the war ' department and General Pershing, j netting chief of staff, properly em iphasize in their respective reports ' thf necessitv of ra rrvin ? out in I ' . . spirit and to the letter the purposes of the national defense act which has the hearty approval of the na - tlon. The country chooses to rely for ; it? defense upon a citizen army. This, means that, if emergencies come, the nation will have to create virtually its entire military force after the declaration of war. It is, therefore, particularly important. Secretary Weeks truly observes, that "organ- being driven at a reckless speed, ization, material equipment, train-1 Drivers and pedestrians would do Ing plans and mobilization shoud be j well to inform themselves just what as simple as possible." It is also;jt means to drive or avoid a machine vitally Important that the email ! going at certain rates of speed. regular army should be thoroughly efficient and capable of protecting an orderly mobilization when nec essary. No increase in the army is in the least likely, but overseas garrisons should be brought up to prescribed strength, and certainly such unsafe conditions as Secretary Weeks de scribes "Inactive units. depleted strengths paper plans, fictitious re serve stocks and theoretical weap ons" should be speedily corrected. Congress id charged bj- Mr. Weeks with "extraordinary economy" at the expanse of the army and with consequent responsibility for many d-plorabli? shortcomings. Surely congress henceforth should see to It scrupulously that the appropriations fcr the army are eufflcient to enable the wart department and its tech nical staff to apply the principles and provisions of the national defense act. Interest in the national guard and in the citizen military camps has grown steadily, and this popular interest should be maintained. The training now available for reserves should he Improved. Stagnation 6hou!d be prevented by Intelligent promotions for merit. In short, the excellent foundation laid by the de fense act ehould be wisely built up on, not undermined or negiectea. :o: WANTED: A VILLAIN Our faded eyes turn to Weehawk- en. nat Juicy ingredients or drama are there! A round dozen indicted so far, some of them leading citi zens; seven more expected to receive the special grand Jury citation, with palm; dark figures trundling cases from a ship to u Cock near Lovers' Leap; bodies floating in the river; hijackers plying their merry trade hither and yon; a priest playing his part; above all, that $50,000,000 in good, red liquor that went reeling down the road in trucks. A fine comedy, but there is too much of it it doesn't focus prop erly, there is something lacking. What is needed? Why. to be sure, a master mind. You police report ers. v!:o nave a new master mind every week for every love nest, bond theft and Jewel robbery, where are you dawdling now? Here is some thing to put your minds on. Ob viously, if a tenth of the allegations are true, a real master mind is at work; no piker peddling furs and diamonds in squalid alleys, but a real fellow in the big time, with a feeling for th"e grand manner, one who sat in a 150,000,000 game and raked in the chips before somebody squealed. Up, idle sluggards, and to work! We want to enjoy this thing. :o: THE COST OF LrVINO The cost of living ha3 increased fcteadily since 1914. A recent esti mate claims that S1.62 now i3 re quired to buy what $1.00 bought ten years ago. The man who has something to sell must appeal to people who real ize that advertising helps them to save, to buy more for their money. The evening newspaper goes Into homes where the value of the dol lar, past and present, is known and appreciated. Tne- subscriber to the evening newspaper is thrifty. He proves it by taking the evening newspaper, which comes at the hour when he can read it thoroughly. The customer who knows what he wants is easier to sell, the man who reads the evening newspaper knows exactly, what he cornea down town to shop. He visits the merchant whose advertisements he read last night, and no other merchant is go ing to succeed in luring his feet from the path he mapped out last night. The readers of the evening news paper know the value of reading newspaper advertisements; they know that while the news columns educate and amuse, the advertise ments enable them to buy intelli gently, to save money and to enjoy the comforts and luxuries within their means. The relative values of things are. more easily discerned in he evening That is why progressive, successful merchanta choose th evening news- paper tor id duis oi meir auTer tisine The Daily Journal is the Platts- mouth HOME newsDaper. . ... '' r A rj iTi U UJ: DiLN tr.bAU U 3 orrJJJ . I a young man is out on bail, . charged with criminal carelessness in causing the death of a pedestrian. Two witnesses claimed that the auto mobile driven by this youth at the time of the fatal accident was spo"ed- ing at the rate of from 45 to 50 miles aR hour. This, of course, was an estimate. However, most people can judge whether or not a machine is -tthr nn n. roilwnv trark nr nn , . . r 00rt road or street. There are 5,280 feet to a mile. At 45 miles an hour the speed per second is over 73 fec?t. apeeu sucn as mese, except on wen- laid rails, straighty-away good coun try roads, or race tracks are danger ous. Much lower speeds, in city streets, are only less dangerous if the moving machine is under thor- ough control, in careful, practiced hands In the lessons on safety which should be part of the course in all schools this problem of speed and what various speeds mean should be impressively taught. :o: These mah Jongg sets looks al-'. most as old fashioned as dominos or j checkers. :o: Yes, we have prohibition, but not in New York or Chicago, or other large cities. :o: Seo where the law requires that Charlie Chaplin's wife go to school.

It has come to pretty pass when United States officers cannot be trusted. :o: Travel to Omaha is not a very pleasant trip by auto.

The Eskimos are like us we didn't know ours woudn't. :o: . . . j. ,.., j In this hectic world, where speed is much overdone, it is restful for frazzled nerves to contemplate the delibcratonesri with which France wishes to pay its debt to America. :o: English magazines note an in crease or automobile accidents, due, they say, to the fact that English roads are narrow and crooked. Our increase is due to the fact that our roads are wide and straight. :o: Even if they were disposed to wel come Prodigal Burton K.
