The President may be expressed to take the lead icwara navmg recommendations of the commission put into law. Con gresa should study its findings with an appreciative eye and accept the tesponsibility to formulate remedies. The administrative departments should be guided by much that the commission has learned. Moreover, the state governments, in their leg islative and executive branches, should give earnest heed to the re ports on law enforcement, for by far the greater part of this function tests with the states rather than with the Federal Government. In all these forums the value of commissions depends upon the use made of their findings. The benefit of knowing the facts consists in do ing something about them. The question of brutality in police methods is particularly one for state and local action, rather than nation al. The United States Department of Jus Lice cannot well do in other cities what it is doing in the District of Columbia. Elimination of the "third degree" rests largely with leg islatures, city councils, mayors and police department heads and the lo cal public opinion to which thev are responsive. Yet the roots of this lawlessness in law enforcement go deeper than might be supposed offhand. There is leason to believe that part of the harshness of police and their tend ency at times to take the law into their own hands is due to the dis couragements and handicaps they encunier when they bring offenders into court. When police see a man's long criminal record and other per tinent information kept away from the jury by technical rules of evi dence, they may conclude that the only way to get a conviction is to get a confession. When they see courts and juries release offenders whom they are morally certain are guilty. tney may conclude that the way to make sure of punishment is to ad minister it themselves a wrong self, that the route north of the river has nothing to recommend it to the emigrant and their only hope of securing even a small part of the immigration is to make them be lieve they cannot cross the river at Plattsmouth." But the Herald, not to be outdone i iiic c'Miuuoi iii'-iieu ers 01 me i tion described in the telegrams was authentic, tho Gen. Livingston was probably not averse to forwarding the interests of his home town. While the argument raged over which route to the west was the better, business did increase consider ably at Plattsmouth and a fair share of the western trade through Nebras ka was handled by Plattsmouth mer chants as the following facts will indicate. The main street of Platts mouth was constantly filled with immigrant wagons and the mer chants were busy outfitting the tra vellers with flour, salt, bacon, salt loss in excess of $250,000 occurred. pork, clothing and ammunition, all oi which were frontier staples. The year 18(5 saw a large volume of business done than in any year since in 13&4 period, six churches, 12 publiv build ings, 132 farms. 155 mercantile busi nesses, and 114 dwellings were dam aged by fire. There are more fires at night than during daylight hours, and in indus trial and mercantile risks there is a sharp increase in the number of fires directly after closing hours when duties are overlooked in the rush to step work.

Instances could be multiplied in which judicial obstacles are a factor in American police practices. Wit ness the instructions of Commission er Mulrooney in New York to "shoot to kill" in dealing with gangsters af ter a jury had acquitted the man whom police after months of inves tigation felt sure had committed one ventured out on the North Piatt Route. May success attend them but the chances are against them." The Omaha advocates of the North Platte Route realized that their op ponents had a vital argument due to the fact that there were no bridges on the Loup. Klkhorn and Platte Rivers and endeavored to arouse en thusiasm in a bridge building pro ject to which the Herald replied, "Omaha people seem to te worked up about a Platte bridge. If wind would stand on the sands, thev would have enough for a dozen bridges But it takes more than gas to cross thrt troublesome stream. With the possibility of bridge building at that time remote, the Herald had ample reason for editorial exultation when it could quote from the Omaha Nebraskian that "We do not intend so far as we are con cerned to hold out any Inducements to emigrants until these bridges i Klkhorn. Ix.up and Plattel are con structed so long as our own people send their trains to Plattsmouth be fore starting west. We have not the face to induce emigrants to come by this route, it is absolutelv wick edness, deception and must and will recoil." While each route got a share of the western trade, there is some evidence showing that some immi grants did come to Plattsmouth from Omaha to make the trip west on ac count of the streams to be crossed on the Northern route. Most of the Indians hac? been mov ed out of the region between Ft. Kearney and the Missouri River by treaty agreement and what few that remained were not war-like. But around Ft. Kearney and on west ward, the fear of Indian attacks pre sented a real problem to those cross ing the plains in the slow moving covered wagons. It was in an at tempt to afford some measure of pree lection to travellers that the First Nebraska Regiment was stationed at Ft. Kearney immediately upon its re turn from southern service in 1864. The Indians made every effort to at tack the immigrant trains and stam pede the stock in a vain attempt to halt the irresitable advance of the frontier. Parties venturing beyond Ft. Kearney without military escote took their lives into their own hands. Early in May. 1S65, a train was at tacked at Plum Creek, thirty-two miles west of Ft. Kearney where one man was killed and one hundred fifty head of stock driven off. Such I incidents as this increased the need for the protection which the soldiers were able to give. PlaUsmouth was interested in seeing this protection maintained for it meant a steady stream of immigration and this meant the purchase of more supplies from Plattsmouth merchants. In her zeal to corner as much of tho overlanii trucle ns nosih1e Pl.itta- the immigrants. Building of stores and houses increased ir, proportion to the increase of business and led The Herald to advertise -to those ground down by the iron heel of poverty in the cities to come west where work is abundant, prices good and property reasonable." The Platts mouth ferry, the "Paul Wilcox." a side wheeler, brought o-e hundred twenty-five tems across on May 9. 1S65 and the each bank was lined with white covered wagons and the road through Iowa leading to Platts mouth was filled with immigrant trains. The records of the Ferry Company showed that 2.360 wagons crossed the Missouri at Plattsmouth during the month of May. 1S63. The immigration became so large that The Herald cculd exclaim. "Plattsmouth never had such a flow of immigration. The whole moveable population of the eastern states ap pears to have started for Nebraska and the western mines and are cross ing the Missouri at Plattsmouth." Capt. Moer of Omaha was quoted as saying that in contrast to the busi ness done at Plattsmouth. things in Omaha were dull due to the small number of freighters starting west from that place. From the evidence just reviewed it seems reasonable to conclude that the South Platte Route was a factor in the early development of Platts mouth and that it brought about considerable business activity until supplanted by the railroads. It would be further conclusive and In teresting if it were possible to ascer tain what this business meant in dollars and cents. Finally it is ap parent that the agitationb y Platts mouth of the South Platte Route was. by and large, a mercenary pro position from which financial profit would result. Not only did the wagon road through Iowa bring immigrants and freight to Plattsmouth. but the Mis souri River, despite its snags and shifting currents, provided another channel by which people and pro visions might get into Plattsmouth. The boats would bring cargoes from St. Louis. Kansas City or St. Joseph to the river points in Nebraska from whence they would go west by immi grant train. More detailed discus sion of the steamboat trade will fol low immediately but as early as May 16, 1S65. the steamer "Eienver" landed eleven hundred sacks of com at the Plattsmouth landing to be sent west by the overland route. This western trade continued un til the early seventies when the rail road which had extended west from Ottumwa to East Plattsmouth and from St. Joseph north to Council Bluffs, killed the overland business and gave a staggering blow, tho not immediately fatal, to the steamboat traffic. As late as Januarv 14. 1871. Every citizen should study the fire i waste records. They show that care-'SeaI al"--w lessness and ignorance in regard to fire are the cause of gigantic destruc tion in both property and lives and they show as well that individual knowledge and responsibility on the part of citizens is the only way to effect a cure.

The anger of the Omaha papers at the publicity given these despatches was natural and would have been equally denounced by the Plattsmouth Herald had they affect ed the South Platte Rome. Immi grants would naturally not want to traverse a route where they cculd get no military protection. Whether the messages were sincere and rep resented an actual state of affairs or whether they were sent at the west to Ft. Kearney. Th- Immigrant thereto may be finally settled and de fare from New York to Plattsmouth by rail and stage coach was $26.00. There are no figures available as to how many people passed through Plattsmouth on their way west dur ing the decade from 1S60 to 1870. Some idea can be deduced from the number of wagons crossing the Mis souri, already referred to but there still remains the fact that doubtless many of these early figures were estimates born of an enthusiasm not verified by the facts. Figures quot ing records of the ferry company should be reliable as they were in a position to keep an accurate record. By far the major part of the immi grants stopped only temporarily but some further idea of the growth and activity of Plattsmouth at this time can be seen in the census of 1870 which gave Plattsmouth a popula tion of 1.94 1 where there were but 172 at the time of the census of 1S60. Certainly no small part of this increase was due to the over land trade to the west .
