(My commission expires Oct. 19, 1932.) VETERAN MISSOURI PACIFIC CONDUCTOR RETIRES With the coming of the New Year, came also the retirement of two veter an Missouri Pacific conductors, well known to the patrons of the road in and about Weeping Water. They arc Joseph Cornelius, 628 north 26th St., and M. F. Perry. 626 south 12th St.. Lincoln, whose retirement came about through the issuance of a new rule by the company which effects a new age limit for their employees, other wise we dare not say how long these fine gentlemen might have continued to serve the Missouri Pacific patrons, much to the satisfaction of all. Mr. Perry is the better known of the two to friends here, fcr the simple reason of having served on this line longer. He celebrated his 73rd birtnday December 10th, cfter having served on the railroad for 43 years and six months; 38 years running out of Lin coln with the Missouri Pacific and 35 of which he served on one run He. made his last trip Saturday, leav ing Lincoln at 8:15 and returning at 4:55. Mr. Perry Is familiarly known to the majority of people all along the line for his friendliness and courtesy, and is held in the highest regard by all with whom he ahsoci ated. ' Mr. Cornelius, who is 73 years old made his last run Sunday morning, he also having been on a run between Lincoln and Union, leaving Lincoln at 5:30 each day and returning at 7:30 a. m., the next day. He was a freight conductor on the Missouri Pacific for several years, and previous to that had been employed by the C. B. & Q., and by the Union Pacific. He began his' railroad career in 1881, and like Mr. Perry, was widely known and loved by all who had oc casion to - patronize the Missouri Pacific railroad. Weeping Water Republican.

States Constitution. Albahv. N. Y.. Jan. 4. Governor Smith in his "eighth and last an nual message" to the legislature, to day recommended that future federal constitutional amendments be sub mitted to a popular referendum of this 6tate before they are actea up on by the legislature. The sugges tion was made in a section aevotea to the Eighteenth amendment and law enforcement, in which he saia it was the state's sacred duty to sus tain the amendment and the Vol stead law. In his discussion of the prohibi tion question, the governor said: "In 1919, the legislature rushed the rati fication of the Eighteenth amend ment and in 1926 the party respon sible for this, coming back to its senses, submitted the question of modification of the sustaining act, only to have it carried by a popular majority of 1.164,586." This referred to the vote on a state referendum proposing a memorial to congress to modify the Volstead act by permitting the several states to make their own definitions as to what constituted intoxicating liquor .The proposal was carried by, a vote of approximately 3 to 1. "In the meanwhile," continued the governor, '.'there devolves upon the state the sacred duty of sustaining the Eighteenth amendment and the Volstead law. They are as much a part of the laws of this state as our own statuos and our own constitu tion. "Aside from the limited number of policemen who patrol the sparse ly settled sections of the state, the state's police power is delegated and we find it exercised in the first in stance by the village constable, the sheriffs and deputy sheriffs, and the police officials of cities. "In obedience to my oath to sus tain the constitution of the United States, I have repeatedly promised the people that so far as it lies in my power, I will remove from office upon the proof being presented, any public official charged with laxity of enforcement pf the law. "Law enforcement must of neces sity begin with arrest. Too many misinformed people look for detail ed enforcement from the head rather than from the root of police power. "Inasmuch as the federal govern ment leaves the state free in its choice of approval or disapproval of amendments to the constitution, 1 would suggest amendment to our own constitution in this state, to the end that no future amendments to the federal constitution be aced upon by he legislature before referendum by state statute to the people. We have the strange situation in this state today that we require a voe of the people to amend our own constitution, but the liberty enjoyed by our people during all of our na tional life can be abridged over night by a bare majority vote of elected representatives In both houses of the legislature. "I believe that the situation has gone as far as any one thing to arouse the indignation of great groups of people. The will of the majority is a fundamental democratic principal that admits of no compro mise. When the people have thus spoken that is the end of it." World-Herald.
