A RECORD OF PUBLIC SERVICE The freight shippers of America paid in 1927 almost nine hundred million dollars less charges, than they would have paid in 1921 for the same service. Numerous rate re ductions have saved the shippers over 4 billion dollars in the six years. It is unfortunate that criticism of railroad rates is based almost entire ly on personal opinion and theory. and seldom on fact. As a matter of truth, rates are now remarkably cheap, and have been steadily les sened. The radical exhorter who de nounces the railroad is attempting to delude his audience. Railroad management is tremend ously efficient and intelligent. Safety has been increased to such an ex tern inai a passenger is saier on the train than in his own home. Comfort and service of the trains have reached a new high standard. But in spite of cost reductions, rail road earnings are less than the small percentage of profit permitted by the government. One way to reduce rail road rates is to reduce their tax burden and do awaf with legisla tion interfering with railroad pro gress. The lines themselves are more than meeting their obligations to the public. Gov.

Howell went down to defeat in his proposal to stop capital expenditures on the Anchorage-Seward section of the railroad but only after he had spread out a large map of the region I on the wall and invoked the attention of his colleagues. This turn of events served to push 1 legis,at,on aside temporarily the LaFollette re solution to put the senate on record against third terms for presidents al tho it holds its place as the senate's unfinished business.

He also defined the position of the Norris-Lowden candidates for dele gate to the national convention and welcomed the placing of Hoover r name on tne primary uauoi as a means of testing out Nebraska people on farm relief. When he was told the nature of Attorney General Spillman's stand on agricultural equality the governor said: "I am taking no part in any fight for offices only to the extent of the position of candidates who may have a vote on agricultural legislation.

One of them, generally referred tc as the Norris-Lowden delegation, is contending for agricultural equality and is placing that issue above men.

The Madison Square Avenue Methodist Episcopal church here was split into two fac tions Wednesday as a result of the marital difficulties of its richest member, Sebastian S. Kresge. Many members of the church are reported to have demanded that the millionnaire 5 and 10 cent store mag nate be dropped from the member ship rolls, following the action of a jury this week in finding the wealthy Detroiter guilty on six counts of adultery on charges preferred by Mrs. Mercer Kresge.

In scheduling the Cornhuskers, who disputed the Missouri Valley conference leadership with the Uni versity of Missouri last fall, the Army wrote the final chapter to the ! events growing out of the now fa ' -nous break with the Navy over eligi jbility standards, at least for 192S. The midshipmen already have booked Princeton for a game at Philadelphia on the date originally set lor the annual service' classic. No word of a possible resumption of relations with the Navy in 1929 was contained in the Army's official announcement made by MaJ. Philip Fleming, the graduate manager of athletics. Neither was there any comment on reports that the cadets had been approached with a pro posal to play the University of Chi cago in Chicago in 1929. Wanted Huskers Earlier. This year's slate, characterized by Major Fleming as "probably the most strenuous schedule ever attempted by an Army team." was completed after an unsuccessful effort to switch playing dates so that Nebraska would be met here on Nov. 10.' the date now assigned to Notre Dame, and the Hoosiers reserved for the climax opposition on Nov. 24, New York. Notre Dame, it is understood, was willing to make tha shift, eyen tho it gave the Rocknemen an interval of only two weeks between games in New York and Los Angeles with Southern California. However, Ne braska found it was unable to change its previously scheduled game with Oklahoma on Nov. 10 to permit com ing east on that date and the plan was abandoned. Nebraska made the Army an at tractive offer to play the game' at Lincoln, but this was not accepted because of the opposition of military authorities to the team making more than three trips away from West Point.

It is significant in that asphalt is constantly being used more exten sively to salvage worn-out pavements and macadam and gravel road3, by covering such old road base with a new waterproof wearing surface which will meet modern traffic con ditions, and at the same time cause the least drain on the taxpayers pocketbook.

Conflicting views as to the necessity for a co-operative state and federal system of regulating motor bus and truck op eration over highways in the common carriage of goods and passengers were expressed today in arguments before the interstate commerce com mission. The commission's interest in the subject has been indicated by a pro longed investigation of the degree to which highway competition has effected railroad operations and the public service, and a tentative re port before the commission now re commends that congress and the states be asked to undertake a sys- tematic regulation. Will Keep Money. Washington. Feb. 8. The Anti Saloon league has no intention of returning to S. S. Kresge, multi millionaire prohibitionist, the $500, 000 which he recently gave the league for propaganda work in ad vancement of the dry cause, accord ing to F. Scott McBride, head of the organization. Representative Boylan (d.) of New York demanded in congress Tuesday that the gift be returned as "tainted money," because of revelations of Kresge's love nest and drinking parties contained in Mrs. Kresge's divorce action in New York. "Of course we are not going to return it," said McBride. Money For Propaganda.

"On the basis of evidence tending to prove marital infidelity with a young girl, including parties where liquor was served, the New York state supreme court has granted a divorce to the wife of Kresge, the multi-millionaire angel of the Anti Saloon league," said Mr. Boylan. "It will be interesting to know whether the Anti-Saloon league will keep his recent $500,000 contribu tion. Calls It "Tainted Money." "It is my understanding that W. F. Scott McBride, head of the league, minimizes the court findings and says the league will await possible appeals to higher courts by its fi nancial angel. It doesn't want to let the money get out of its clutches." Kresge's gift, he said, would fi nance propaganda In 12 states. "Every person in those 12 states will be entitled to say to the Anti Saloen league speakers and evangel-s that they refuse to be saved with tainted money," he said. Business Gesture. Detroit, Feb. 8. Business and not philanthropy actuated S. S. Kresge, millionaire 5 and 10-cent store own er, in donating $o00,000 to the Anti-Saloon league. Bishop Thomas Nicholson of Detroit, president of the dry orgenization, declared Wednesday. Bishop Nicholson's statement came close on the heels of a challenge Kresge's private morals has noth ing to do with the gift, the bishop intimated. Brings in Nickels. "Mr. Kresge did not give the $500,000 to the Anti-Saloon league as a philanthropic gesture," Bishop Nicholson said. "It was purely a business pioposition with him. He saw that prohibition increased his own income, that it brought more nickels and dimes into his stores, and so he devoted $500,000 in aid ing this cause, which so directly af fects him." Bishop Nicholson's comment came shortly after an announcement 1': the Michigan law enforcement leagu that it will not acept gifts fro: -Kresge until he explains the charges involving immorality and drinking of which he was found guilty by a jury in the divorce suit of his wife, Doris Mercer Kresge. L. R. Bowen, secretary-treasurer of the Michigan Law Enforcement league, Wednesday issued this state ment. Refuses to Explain. "Owing to the many inquiries reaching us, I wish to say we have instructed our representatives to ac cept no contributions from S. S. Kresge until he makes satisfactory reply to the charges involving per sonal immorality and liquor drink ing." Wednesday Kresge refused to reply to the denunciation delivered by Justice John M. Tierney of the New York supreme court, who presided Monday over the divorce action of his wife. Omaha Bee-News. TIME TO THROW ROTTEN EGGS The Georgia Manufacturers' Asso ciation calls attention to the con tinual farce that is being played in Washington with Muscle Shoals as a stage setting, the politicians as the actors to secure public attention, and the farmers as the auditnee supposed to express approval of political mea sures proposed "for their benefit." The December issue "Farm anil Fireside," a national farm paper of, 1,115,000 circulation, hits this horse play a crack in an article entitled, "The Muscle Shoals Humbug." It says: "Nitrates for fertilizer cannot be made profitably at Muscle Shoals. This fact has long been known to the nitrate experts of the country whose findings have been freely pub lished." It backs its statements with facts. It is about time for the farmers watching this national farce, to be gin throwing rotten cabbages and prehistoric eggs at the actors in this comedy which the taxpayers are fi nancing. The South needs the bene fit of both cheap fertilizer and wide distribution of power, alike for in dustrial and the growing agricul tural uses. This can be secured, in line with tire- President's message, through development of modern methods of fertilizer manufacture with the rents obtained from power widely distributed for industrial and agricultural uses. Both of these benefits are being lost through the present method of dealing with Muscle Shoals. aasBSBiBamv MUST PAY AN INDEMNITY Vienna, Feb. 8. A Buchardest dis patch to the Neu Freipresse says that General Averescu and members of his cabinet who held office in 1926 and 1927 were sentenced today by a court to pay an indemnity of 254,000 lei (roughly $50,000) to the newspaper Deimenata and Adverul'. The sentence was imposed because of the confisca tion of an issue of those papers con taining a national peasants party communique regarding the dynastic succession question.
