to Remove a
County Sheriff

dan County Charges Ben C.
Parker with Intoxication.
Lincoln, Sept. 23. county Attor
ney Merwin G. Johnson of Sheridan
county asked Governor Bryan Friday
to suspend Sheriff Ben C. Parker and
have the attorney general start pro
ceedings to remove him from office.
Johnson charged the sheriff had
failed to enforce the law. had been
involved in liquor law violations and
failed to report certain fees.
Five cases were enumerated in
which Johnson claimed the sheriff
had failed to execute warrants given
him to hunt liquor offenders. ,
The county attorney charged that
on Jan. 25 Sheriff Parker had been
found in possession of a pint of li
quor from which he drank and of
fered another person a drink; that
on Aug. 29 he was found intoxicated
at Alliance and taken into custody,
and that on Sept. 17 he was again
intcxlcated.
The request to the governor also
alleged Sheriff Parker had made no
attempt to Investigate a $400 rob
bery of a Bingham hardware store
Sept. 13 and failed to furnish the
county board with a statement of fees
as required by law. i
The suspension by Governor Bry
an would be immediate. The attor
ney general's action then would be
started in the supreme court. Om

Roosevelt Says
Government Has
a Business Duty
Hot to Enroach on Private Enter
prise, But to Aid in Regulating
if Necessary.
San Francisco. Franklin D.
Roosevelt said it was the task of
government to assist business in the
development of an economic declar
ation of rights under which the re
sponsible heads of finance and in
dustry would work together in the
public interest. The exposition cf
the democratic presidential nom
inee's views was given before the
Commonwealth club in an address
which preceded his appearance at a
democratic women's reception and at
a public meeting in the civic audi
torium later at night.
Incidentally the New York gover
nor's visit developed an exchange of
friendly words between him and Sen
ator Ilirain Johnson. In his Sacra
mento address Mr. Roosevelt praised
Senator Johnson for Ins progres
sivism ana reierreu to mm as "long
a warrior in the ranks of true Am
erican progress."
Commenting on Roosevelt's re
mark, the California senator who
only the day before delivered an ad
dress criticising the government's
foreign debt and relief policies, said
The attitude of Mr. Roosevelt is in
sharp contrast with that Mr. Hoo
ver has maintained toward progres
sivism and progressives in California.
Governor Roosevelt was very grac
ious and generous in his address at
Sacramento. I personally immensely
appreciate what he said, and I am
ure it is equally appreciated by the
progressive republicans in this state
Lights of Citizenship.
In hi3 luncheon address Governor
Roosevelt said: "Every man has
right to his own property; which
means a right to be assured, to the
fullest extent attainable in the safety
of hi3 savings. By no other means
can men carry the burden of those
parts of life which, in the nature of
things, afford no chance of labor
childhood, sickness, old ase. In all
thought of property this right is
paramount; all other property rights
must yield to it.
"If, in accord with this principle
we must restrict the Venerations of
the speculator, the manipulator, even
the financier. I believe we must ac
cept the restriction as needful, not
to hamper individualism but to pro
tect it.
"This implication is, briefly, that
the responsible heads of finance and
industry, instead of acting each for
himself, must work together to
achieve the common end. They must.
where necessary, sacrifice this or
that rrivate advantaga; and in re
ciprocal self denial must seek a gen
eral advantage. It is here that for
mal government political govern
ment if you choose comes in. When
ever m the pursuit of this objective
the lone wolf, the unethical competi
tor, the reckless promoter, the Ish
mael or Insull w hose hand is against
every man's, declines to join in
achieving an end recognized as be
ing for the public welfare, anw
threatens to drag the industry back
to a state of anarchy, the government
may properly be asked to apply re
straint.
Duty of Government.
"Likewise should the group ever
use its collective power contrary to
the public welfare the government
must be swift to enter and protect
the public interest. The government
should assume the function of eco
nomic regulation only as a last resort,
to be tried only when private initia
tive, inspired by high responsibility,
such assistance and balance as gov
ernment can give, has finally failed.
"As yet there has been no final
failure because there has been no at
tempt, and I decline to assume that
this nation is unable to meet the
situation."
Mr. Roosevelt said the declara
tion of independence asserted every
man had the right to liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. State Journal.
FARMER KILLS HIS CHILD
Lancaster, Wis. Will Kehler,
forty-nine, farmer of near here, con
fessed, Sheriff Joseph Greer said, he
had killed his eight year old son,
Martin, "Pecause the boy was feeble
minded." Kehner told authorities he
led the boy into a clump of wooas
and battered his head with stones.
He then burled the body in a gully
under stones and leaves, he said. The
body was found where Kehler said
he had left it. "The boy was incur
able, so I thought he would be bet
ter off dead," Kehler said. "I tried
to get him into an institution and
couldn't."
