"Today the newspaper is as much
a part fo life as the sunshine, which
drives away gloom and dispels
shadows. We accept it as such. And
yet we are reminded that for fif
teen centuries of civilization, until
printing became an art, and the
printed word a medium of expression,
men who yearned to break the bonds
of oppression struggled futilely.
"There is a remarkable paradox in
the history of Nebraska newspaper.
Ordinarily civilization precedes the
newspaper. Here the press ran hand
in band with the advance guard to
the frontier. What was the immed
iate problem which they faced? It
was to make something of wasteland,
whose seemingly limitless extent was
terrifying. It is to the credit of these
men that they had the perspective
and vision to recognize the essential
necessity of work.
Of all the services which the Ne

been more helpful than the emphasis
which it has placed upon agriculture

years.

BROKER IS UNDER ARREST
Philadelphia L. J. Fava, forty, an
Insurance broker, who is believed to
have lost his own and possibly some
of his client's money in the stock
market, jumped from the Girard ave

early Thursday. Fava, apparently
changed his mind after striking the
river for he was found standing in
shallow water by a park guard, who
pulled him into a row boat.
Near the spot where Fava leaped
the police found an automobile in
which was a note reading: "I can
no longer stand the thought of the
misery that I am causing innocent
people that have been more than
good to me. The stock market crash
makes it impossible for me to carry
on or to repay the money that I have
borrowed, which has made me fran

Fava was placed under arrest.
SPEECH DRAWS COMMENT
Paris Fresh press reaction to
President Hoover's Armistice day
speech has developed slowly but is
continuing. The Temps, which often
reflects official views, said Wednes
day that Mr. Hoover's suggestion
that food ships be invoilable in war
time was humanitarian but must be
studied with the greatest prudence
to determine whether it also is prac
tical. The newspaper considers that it
would be difficult to embody the
suggestion in a text acceptable to all
nations because it would abolish
blockades or at least render them
ineffectual.

Washington, Nov. 13. The pauper
receives the benefits of modern medi
cine free of charge and the million
aire pays dearly for them, but, in the
opinion of Dr. Hugh S. Cumming,
surgeon general of the public health
service, the man of moderate means
who will not accept charity and can
not afford high fees is being neglect
ed. "The charity systems of our med
ical schools and huge hospitals make
it possible for the pauper to share
with the multi-millicnaire the skill
of the same surgeon," Dr. Cumming
pointed out. "But this type of service
is not now available to the man who
cannot pay the high fees, and who
will not accept charity.
"That means the mass. And mass
intelligence in medicine is relatively
high. Due to years of health educa
tion, the average man knows, at least
in a vague way, about the advance
ment of medicine. He knows, too,
that he has a way of getting what
he wants, through the vote, and if
aroused he will use it."
Dr. Cumming suggested that some
system should be wroked out where
by the tremendous charity contribu
tion of the medical profession should
be cut down, the services, of the skill
ed spread to a larger proportion of
the population, and state assistance
arranged to help meet the costs of
further scientific development.

Washington The Rt. Rev. Charles
Palmerston Anderson, bishop of Chi
cago, Wednesday night was elected
presiding bishop of the Episcopal
church.
His election occurred on the six
teenth ballot after an all day session
of the ninety-four diocesan head3.
Bishop Anderson is sixty-five years
old and has been bishop of Chicago
since 1905. He is a native of On
tario. At the general convention in
Washington last year, Bishop Ander
son was elected vice chairman. He
delivered the sermon at the opening
of the general convention at that
time, and made it a defense of sepa
ration of church and state in which
he won wide acclaim.
The new prelate will serve for the
remainder of the term of Bishop John
Gardner Murray of Maryland, who
fell dead on Oct. 3 before the altar o
St. James church in Atlantic City
The election for the full term of six
years will be held in Denver in 1931
Immediately after his election
Bishop Anderson appointed the Rt
Rev. Hugh L. Burleson, bishop of
South Dakota, his assistant. The
nomination was confirmed. The new
church head said he would continue
to reside in Chicago and had no
thought of giving up his diocese.
He has long taken an important
part in national affairs of the church.

Miami, Fla. When Edith. Meserve
Atkinson became judge of the Juve
nile Court in Miami, Fla., ;thing3
began to happen. Good things. '
There had been juvenile court work
before in the district but something
had been lacking. Mrs. Atkinson does
not take very kindly to those who
say to a child, "Don't do as I do.
do a-s I say." She believes moral
authority starts with an example
constantly before the child of par
ental good behavior.
Now the way by which Mrs- Atkin
son reached her Judicial position is
intpresting. There wa3 a campaign
on in Dade County. There had been
other campaigns, and twice the peo
ple had elected Mrs. Atkinson to of
fice. Her last election was unusual.
because her husband, H. F. Ttkin
son, who is judge of the Circuit
Court of Dade County, was standing
for ro-lection. and while Mrs. At
kinson led with the greatest number
of votes of any candidates on a tic
ket list of more than 150, Judge At
kinson of the Circuit Court received
a handsome majority over his own
opponent.
Judge Atkinson of . the-- Juvenile
Court does not just see children after
they have entered her court. She
sees them before, and sometimes the
seeing makes it unlikely that they
will ever have to face her in court.
Preventive work, the social., service
experts call that.
For instance she says, "It would
solve half the problems of the juve
nile court if our school children had
some place in which to romp and
play, and let loose the energy which
sometimes expresses itself in those
misdemeanors which bring their
youthful perpetrators into court."
And then she set about working
with the Social Workers' Club to
aunch a supervised playground proj
ect. The Chamber of Commerce and
the school board helped. "A small
olice of our benefits, of climate, and
out of doors beauty for our children,"
Judge Atkinson said, and she was
looking from her bench out through
the doons of the courtroom to chil
dren who need never come before her
to answer for misdemeanors, because
they would be too well contended to
commit any.
Judge Atkinson thinks there is

to the responsibility of the
parents, and she takes the reason
able view that reforms must start
with parents instead of after damage
has been done among children.
