Here is what the historian Stobartl says about Rome at the beginning of the fourth century: The whole Roman world was being strangled with good inten tions. The bureaucracy had grown so highly organized and efficient, so nicely ordered thru its various grades of official life, that everybody walked in lead ing strings to the music of offi cial proclamations. Paternalism regulated everything with its watchful and benignant eye. The triumph of the system may be seen in the famous Edict of Princes issued by Diocletian in 301. Here we find scheduled a maximum price for every possible coramodity of trade and a maxi mum of trade and a maximum wage for every kind of service. Death is the penalty for any trader who asks or any purchaser who pays a higher price. No difference of locality or season is permitted. Trade is forbidden to fluctuate under penalty of death. This delightful scheme, which was engraved upon stone in every market in Europe, was evidently the product of a highly efficient Board of Trade, which had sat late of nights over the study of statistics and political economy. Benevolent officials of this type swarmed all over the empire, spying and reporting on one another as well as on the general public. 13 there no warning in this? Do those who would ignore the exper- ; ience of humankind ever read his tory? Do they see any likenes in our selves and our time to those other people and their time? Are we not heing slowly strangled by those same! good intentions which strangled an! even greater nation than our own? Let the people who want the fed eral government to say what we shall' eat and drink, at what -age we shall work, how we shall be born, ad libi-1 turn, ad nauseum let them answer.

Brookhart? About as much so as Trotzky, "regular" Re- pulbicans say. From which it would j appear that Iowa Republicans must be of a violently insurgent brand. But wait. Having served out his fractional term, Brookhart ran forj the senate again. He lost. There was some argument about it, but the sen ate, investigating, decided in favor of Dan F. Steck, Democrat. Republican Iowa, it appeared, was so far from radical that it preferred , an ultra-conservative Democrat-Steck to a radical Republican, of the Brook hart type. That was in 1924. This year it seemed a fair conclu CHEAP BRIDGE CARS - TRUCKS 10 Cents 10 Discount on Toll Coupon Books TP LI PsilrSlr RlrrA j OllULti UllUgt TOLL sioa that conservatively Republican1 Iowa would renominate the conserva tively Republican Alett B. Cumjains for the senate seat he had occupied, so long and creditably. Not so, how ever, Brookhart won the Republican nomination, bands down. Then Cummina died. So that leaves an additional Iowa senate seat to be filled, between the first of next De cember and the first of the ensuing March. Brookhart, being already a candidate for the long term, announc ed himself as a candidate for the short one, too, so as to come back to Washington a session sooner than he would, had Cummins lived. Iowa Republicans had just nomin ated him for the long term. Wasn't it reasonable to conclude that It would nominate him again, for the short one? Oh, no! It nominated David W. Stewart, conservative of conservatives among Republicans. Conservatism was turned down for radicalism in 1922. Radicalism was turned down for conservatism In 1924. Conserva tism was turned down for radicalism in June 1926. Radicalism was turned down for conservatism in August of the same year. All in the same state. How can any politician make heads or tails out of that? -:o:- All local news is in the Journal. ORDER OF HEARING And Notice of Probate of Will. In the County Court of Cass County, Nebraska.
