ness. The Journal has been patient
throughout the long months of thr
depression, but now. with improved
conditions returning, will greatly ap
preciate payment of all subscription
accounts and is holding out an extra
Inducement to bring it about.
TWO VIEWS OF LUTE
Some folks see only the dark
side cf life
Or meet its stern raps with a
frown,
"When a smile or a word might
win the strife
And put the grim chimera
down.
The specter seems hid in a
dense cloud of gloom.
As one trembles and waits for
the sight
Of the ogre created by portent
of doom,
To appear at the first glint
of light.
But the shadow floats off In a
shimmer of haze,
And the radiant beams of the
dawn
Greet the day with an aura of
opalesque rays,
As they herald the advent cf
morn.
In the touch of relief that its
coming awakes
There is born an accord with
mankind
A kindlier glimpse of conditions
it takes
A more cheerful scope brings
to mind.
And the rosy hues of the bright
gleam of "day
Chase the hade of thegloom
aside,
To bring cheer and pleasure
along the way,
Where peace and contentment
abide.
The soul can then face the wide
world with a smile.
And with word3 of a comfort
ing cheer
Aid other poor pilgrims cn
life's weary miles,
As the end of the journey
draws near. "K"

Vote to Fight
Beer Bills
Decide Upon Court Tests of Both
Measures Passed by the
State Legislature.
Representatives of dry organiza
tions and Christian temperance lead
ers in Nebraska met at the Lincoln
Y. M. C. A. Thursday afternoon and
decided to "fight the beer bill, H. R.
585 and the Omaha brewers bill, S.
F. 323 with every legal device pos
sible. Until lawyers advise them on
the possibilities in court, the group
voted to hold in abeyance any at
tack by petition and referendum.
The group appointed a committee
of five to Jpelect lawyers to direct
legal strategy in a proposed test of
the bills in court. The committee
comprises: Superintendent Hutton of
tha Nebraska Anti-Saloon league,
chairman; Maurice A. Hyde, state
treasurer of Nebraska Allied Drys;
Charles A. Bowers, secretary Ne
braska State Teachers association;
Mrs. tva M. Innis, state president of
the Nebraska "W. C. T. U.; and Rev.
B. F. Wyland, state president of the
Allied Drys.
Superintendent Hutton, who call
ed the meeting, was unable to pre
side because of a throat illness. Rev.
Ray E. Hunt presided and Mrs. Innis
acted as secretary. Future meetings
were left to the judgment of Super
intendent Hutton, Mrs. Innis and
their advisors..
The group issued the following
statement:
"The Nebraska 'beer bill,' H. R.
585, did not grow out of Nebraska
political soil, but was an alien im
portation from the east. The sordid
political activity of a hihgly financed
beer lobby is well known in our cap
ital city. House Beer Bill 585 af
fronts Nebraska voters' sensibilities,
as follows: r
"First: This alien beer bill vio
lates the Nebraska regulatory liquor
law which grew up out of local needs
and became a model law for Amer
ica. The experience under the Ca
nadian system and the Nebraska Slo
cum law has been completely disre
garded. "Second: This alien beer bill re
fused to keep the sale of liquor 100
feet away from public schools. To
make drinkers out of minors has
been its acknowledged purpose. Ac
cording to their trade journal state
ments, 90 percent of American youth
do Tiot drink and musf be taught to
drink beer. Youth is to be a new
market for the brewers products.
Third: This alien beer bill refuses
to allow the people of any city or
town to vote upon whether or not
they want booze. This undue pro
tection cf beer is a determination to
make local self government on liquor
impossible.
"Fourth: This alien beer bill, by
granting holders of permits the right
to sell in private rooms, creates con
ditions making possible the estab
lishment of houses of assignation.
This is the infamous Raines law up
on which Tammany hall thrived by
the profitable alliance of liquor and
prostitution. "Why revive a condi
tion that makes for Tice and de
gradation of human lives?
"Fifth: This alien beer bill seeks
to build a political parry around li
quor by leaving the appointment and
the fixing of the salaries of a vast
army of inspectors and field men com
pletely in the hands of the county
commissioners. It is the old Tam
many system from New York City
to build political power on liquor."

Ice Rates to
be Reduced in
Plattsmouth
Through Efforts of Mayor John P.
Sattler, Bate Seduction will
Soon be in Effect.
For some time Mayor John P. Sat
tler has been interested in trying to
secure a reduction in the rates for
ice in this city, his efforts resulting
in the announcement of a reduction
in the price of ice.
The Iowa-Nebraska Lige and Pow
er company, owners of the local ice
plant, are making the announcement
that they will put in effect soon a
reduction that will be appreciated by
the users of ice in the community,
which is due to the work of the may
or in getting a voluntary reduction.
The new rates will be 50c a hun
dred, delivered by the ice wagon, in
stead of the old rate of 60c which
was in effect last season.
The platform rate will be 40c per
hundred this season, instead of 45c,
which was in effect last year.
The light and power company hope
to maintain this rate for the entire
season and will unless the rising
price of materials necessary in the
manufacture of the ice advances to
the point where a change may be
come necessary, but state they will
endeavor to see that this new rate
is maintained.
The reduction will provide a de
cided saving for the people of Platts
mouth, and one that will be appre
ciated by all users of ice.

May Develop
a Train with
100-Mile Speed
Union Pacific Studying Diesel En
gine, Shaped Like Dirigible;
Would Meet Competition
Omaha. Officials of the Union
Pacific railway here admit that re
search is under way for the develop
ment of a new style of passenger
train which may mean an average
speed of close to 100 miles an hour
on its crack transcontinental trains.
Officials, however, protested vig
orously the "premature publication"
of the scheme which they said has
not yet been much more than a
dream on the part of company engi
neers. Plans, according to a story publish
ed in an afternoon newspaper, call
for a dirigible-shaped, gas-electric
or Deisel engine powered locomotive,
the passenger cars also to be dirigible-shaped
to eliminate retarding
speed by the wind.
Vice President E. E. Adams has
been assigned to special research for
the road since 1929, and the new
style train will climax his efforts,
according to the story.
With such a train the Omaha-Los
Angeles schedule would be cut to
less than thirty hours, it was point
ed out, and ti might prove an effec
tive answer to airplane competition
which of late has cut deeply into
western roads passenger revnue.
