Leon Trotsky would like to live in the United States, but has no hope of being permitted to do so. lie lived in the Cnited States once, but didn't like it. :o: It was interesting to find out at last what the kaiser really said in 190S, but ainicst any casual remark Hitler chooses to make now is more important. :o: All reducing campaigns sound to a fat man like plots against hi3 health end comfort.

Dut none of the eggs struck him. It's a great asset to Central Eu ropean statesmanship these days if the principals present a small and difficult target. :o: Indianapolis has had r.n epidemic of motor car accidents at the extrem ities of dead-end streets. The News suggests putting "stop", signs up at the "dead-ends. 'The News is in clined to flatter the intelligence of the drivers, we believe. A better plan would be to station traffic cops at the end of the street. Almost any driver will notice a traffic cop. :o: jIURDERERS IN A MOB The danger of the mob lies In the letting down or individual responsibility. It wasn't a de sire to administer justice or pre vent a recurrence of Warner's crime which sent that mob against tho jail. It was hate, the same passion that engenders any other murder. When you had the real laders of that mob, ycu will find men of not much higher moral standards than the man they murdered. Those words were p.-.rt of Judge J. V. Caddy's charge to the Buchanan County grand jury that investigated the lynching of Lloyd Warner, a Negro, who was taken from the coun ty jail in St. Joseph, Mo., and mur dered by a mob on tho night of No vember 28, last year. They attract ed wide attention at the time. Now their truth has just been strikingly illustrated in another part of the country. Early this week. I). B. Napier, also known as Frank Lockhait, was con victed by a jury in Shreveport, La., and sentenced to death on a charge cf having criminally attacked and murd;red a young woman. Nearly twenty years ago, Napier has confess ed, he took part in the lynching of Leo Frank at Marietta, Ga. Frank also had been convicted of murder ing a ycung wcrr.an. Napier, accord ing to his ow:i story, was a member of the mob that battered its way into the prison where Frank was being held, and then drove tho motor car in which lie was taken to tho scene of the lynching. To add to the coincidence a mob also tried to seize Napier in jail, with the intention of lynching him, but was foiled. The real leaders of any mob, as Judge Gaddy remarked, are not much better than their vic tim. It would be hard to find a clear er illustration than this echo of the famous Leo Frank case affords. And It might be noted that, although Na pier had admitted his crime, Leo Frank constantly maintained his own Innocence, and when his case was ap pealed to the United States supreme court, two of its most distinguished Justices, Charles Evans IIughe3 (now chief Justice) and Oliver Wendell Holmes, held that he had not had a fair trial. Kansas City Times. PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA Neb., as second-cla6S mail matter SURPRISING BIDS FOR AIR MAIL CONTRACTS Whether the postmaster general erred or performed a useful public service in cancelling the air mail con tracts is still to be decided. A great many have settled the question for themselves, on an emotional basis, and have concluded that Mr. Farley blundered and must be condemned, cr that he purged the government of a source of corruption and is to be admired. Locked at realistically, the ques tion is still open, and new factors arise which bear upon it. One is the cost of the service as performed by j new bidders when it is resumed, in comparison with what the govern-j ment nau Dccn m are nauitoi pajrng. ; The first bids were cpened at Wash- i ington, Friday, these being largely I from new companies, although some j were from old carriers reorganized to meet the postoffiee's requirements. On the whole, the bids were surpris ing. The single bid on the hicago-Oak-land route is 3D cents, as against an average cost per airplane mile in 1933 cf C2 cents. The former cost per mile on the Chicago-Billings run was 53 cents; the bids on a corres ponding Chicago Pembina route range from 19.6 to 39 cents. Bids on tho Chicago-Jacksonville route range from 19 to 39 's cents, the old average on a corresponding route be ing 47 cents. The single new bid on the New Ycrk-Chicago route is 39 cents against the 1933 average of 50 cents. To Dallas irom Chicago the old rate averaged 54 cents a mile, and the new bids for this business run from 22 ", cents to 39.9 cents. Bids on a Chicago-New Orleans route range between 17 Y2 cents to 39 cents; the eld rate paid for the Chicago-Memphis run was 50 cents. The equipment and financial re sponsibility of some cf the new com panies are yet to be examined, and Mr. Farley makes it clear at ence that the lowest bid will not be ac cepted without assurances of ability to perform. If these assurances are forthcoming, it is evident he will have the mail flown for considerably less than the department had been paying. Whether cancelling the old contracts was the best or the only way to arrive at this result is debat able. If the result is achieved, it is a factor historians will be called cn to weigh in deciding whether Mr. Far ley is a monumental blunderer or a practical public servant. Detroit News. :o: THERE'S INTEREST IN WORK WITH THE HANDS Dr. Robert A. Mill-Kan, the great scientist on Monday expressed his opinion that the garage man who tinkers with automobiles ha3 "as in teresting a job as exists on this earth." Plenty is raid in poetry about man ual toilers, but a large part of the population manages to kep a line drawn this side of the sweat and j grime that usually go with it. News rcpotrs from Moscow tell of two women from New York's Social Register using a pick and shovel all day in helping build Moscow's new subway, along with many other Am ericans. It seems entirely, possible that if; ycu scratched many a corporation president and many a dowager you wcuid find a handicraftsman at heart. Only Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and a few of their like have managed to go to work in a shop in the morning and return home to a palaco in the evening. hTo earthy instinct is deep in vir tually every human being. Is it es sentially and fundamentally any more respectable or mere intellectu ally advanced, for example to slave at drawing up legal briefs than to labor in locating the trouble in en ailing automobile? New York Yv'orld-Telegram. :o: President Roosevelt, at the open ing ball game in Washington, was "narrowly missed by a pop foul." We hope you derived the same measure of relief we found on reading it over again to make sure it wasn't a pop bottle. :o: - Journal Want-ccs cct results I WHY EE PESTERED At this season of the year we find a largs number of ITINERANT PED DLERS calling from house-to-house endeavoring to sell their wares. It is spring, the roads are good and it is easy for these Itinerants to move from one city to another. There have been several CREWS of Peddlers operating in our midst cf late they are here today and gone tomorrow. Then another GANG invades the community trying their sales arguments , using their free sample:; and special bargains on the housewife in the hope of securing an order. They are peddling practically ev ery class of merchandise underwear for feminine wear yes, even ready-to-wear frocks can you imagine se curing the desired fit by ordering a dress from a sample swatch of ma terial and a picture of "how it will look." It's hard enough to step right into a garment that fits perfectly in one cf our readyto-wcar stores whore there is a stock carried on the racks for your inspection and fitting at the time of selection. If the housewife answered the door every time to the summons of the j :inj Republicans as well as Democrats Peddlers she would be weary by night , .;r ve f upport to the President's exten and possibly not in any too good hu- I program. Rut this situation had mor at ujot time- And the lure with which their. hool. is baited is the eld time often j disprovcd argUment that they can j .Wnwr ti.- thn i.i. - i hu 1 sell cheaper thai; the local bu. dness rms. Time and time again the gul- lible buyer has learned the expensive lesson that the "cheap goods" were of INFERIOR QUALITY OF WORK MANSHIP and was not satisfactory. Besides once a purchase is made from tho Peddler it is not an easy task to get an exchange- when same is not satisfactory as in most every case it has to go BACK TO THE MILLS and you are required to again wait several days, sometimes weeks before you have the merehandis ordered, and then it might not be just what you ordered in which case you most like ly keep it rather than go to the trou ble and delay cf another exchange experience. In the Journal we are carrying a series cf articles to acquaint the buy ing public as to the Peddlers Wares Service and Methods of doing Business especially pointing out the FACTS which should convince Every llcuewife and Thrifty Shopper that merchandise bought from the peddlers m NOT "as cheap as the Peddlers would like to have you be lieve" due to the fact that thera are MANY COMMISSIONS to be paid on every order. IF you have been stung on Ted dlers wares you know that it was NOT always the merchandise values . that interested you and induced you j to prchase, but it was the salesman's Glib Tongue that relieved you ot the ; CASH DEPOSIT IN ADVANCE on your order. If you live in Plattsmouth and its community and BELIEVE IN IT. By that we mean Believe in Your Neigh bor and in believing in him HAVE CONFIDENCE IN HIM confidence enough to TRADE WITH IIIM and in so doing you will be helping him Build a Better City in which BOTH OF YOU can live. :c: TUGWELL UNMASKED AS A CONSERVATIVE Prof. Tugwcil's speech to the newspaper editors at Washington ! must have seemed to them something j like the point at a masquerade ball when everybody takes oil' his false face. Herd was the man w ho had ! been accused in congress and else- where of being the arch-plotter be-I hind the throne, forever devising i new ways of breaking down and i transforming our social and govern- mental institutions. But he seised i the occasion to declare: "I ur.hesi-; tatingly avow myself a thorough con servative." Nor was this said in jest, or as a mere trick of words. Prof. Tugwell went on to exalt and in- corse the rugged individualism of the American character: "We will net do what we do not want to do, and coercion cannot make us. Vo can be fooled,- but not for long. Wo have a saving irrever ence of authority. No one with the slightest sense of history would try to fit such a people into a regiment ed scheme. I do not believo that people can be complld to do for long anything that is alin to their nation al character, and I dot believe that there are any cafe compulsions which may be used on human nature." Could any despised "reactionary" or tory go further than this? For the rest, Prof. Tugwell's ad dress was in excellent temper. In stead of resenting criticism of the administration, he invites it, and re grets that it did net begin earlier. About the various experraents under the new deal he is cautious and mod est. He told his hearers that only a beginning had been made. Immense difficulties lie ahead and a long time I wiil be required to surmount them. Utopia i3 nowhere in sight. "At the most optimistic estimate we shall end the year we are in with millions of unemployed. Thero will be millions even, who will not have had a steady job for three years or perhaps more. And this in spite of all our work and ingenuity." It is on the basi3 of this outlook that Prof. Tugwell asks for patience and co-operation. He especially de sires the aid of the press in letting the people know all the facts so that they may decide, in accordance with the American tradition, what the government ought to do. It is cer tain that newspapers throughout the land will appreciate and applaud this unmasking of Prof. Tugwell done by himself. New York Times. :o: THE TASK OF AN OPPOSITION PARTY It is time, as Representative Snell, Republican hou-e loader, suggests, for the Republican party to begin to exercise its functions as a real opposition party. Iv the emergency of the last year raMy lines were properly submerged, its hole.-ome side. The program Vi.,s -lot subjected to the searching c.,.j Lj( j;.m that would have revealed in ailvance certain unworkable features ,i;ui prevented certain avoidable mis- takes. But in reasserting their proper function as critics. Republican lead ers many easily fall into serious mis lakes. They need to exercise care to avoid aligning themselves with the reactionary interests that were dis ei edited in the crazy dcade leading up to the depression. They should ;-hrw discrimination in their criti cism. Blanket denunciation will get them nowhere except with a small g:t,up. The good features of the new utal as well a3 the bad should be recognized. Blindly partisan opposi tion will be futile. The most difficult task confront ing the opposition party at this time is to offer constructive alternative proposals. "What would you have done?" will be the question put to the leaders. The answer will put their intel ligence and resourcefulness to the test. There are constructive meas ures rejected in the new deal that could be put forward to correct evils that had grown up and to hasten re covery. But" so fjer these nave re ceived little attention. Possibly as the campaign develops, leaders may arise who will outline and urge a constructive program that will ap- to lhe CO;nmon sense of the country. The absence of such out- standing leaders is perhaps the ma- jor weakness of t he Republican party tcday. -Kansas City Star. :o: CURBING FREE SPEECH It is, to the credit of tho American Civil Liberties Union that it h aligned itself against a bill passed by the New Jen:ey assembly intend ed to make Na::i propaganda trim inal. The measure, due to go before the New-Jersey senate on Monday or Tuesday, makes it a crime to publish statements "tending to subject any groups to prejudice, shame, hatred, ridicule, disgrace or contempt by reason of race, color o creed or manner cf worship." At the same time it makes it a misdemeanor to utter statements tending to lo men L domestic strife or to disturb domestic tranquility. It nereis littie prompting to see that ouch a mer.sure opens the way to restrictions cn the right of free speech and assembly. It can be twisted to prcccnt cr io punish criti dsn: of public affairs. It can be used to stific the free expression of per sonal opinion on all manner of ques tions. As such, it runs counter to American traditions and should be cactcd into law. We here in the United States have had so much unofficial interference with the free expression of opinion that we cannot but dread the pas sage of legislation seeking to place formal curbs on this right. As a mat ter cf fact, the successful stifling of discussion of public questions dur ing the first year of the new deal has given us a taste of the evils that re sid in attempts to restrict open dis cussion. The growing intolerance of free speech in Europe makes it all the more important that Americans do not give way to the mania for eup pression. The New Jersey asembly is setting a bad example. Editorial Opinion of the New York Herald Tribune. :o:- One scientist declares that the best climate to be found is at New port, R. I., and another Insists that i l Europe on the shore of the North Sea is better. Meanwhile California and. Florida are heard maintaining a dignified and Lcomful silence. A YEAR AGO AND NOW THERE'S A DIFFERENCE A year ago, the average of bond prices stood at 64. A year before that the figure was 66. There was danger that bonds might collapse. Bonds are the country's first mort gages, the form in which the most carefully conserved savings are kept. Bonds collapsed, all savings collapse, all credits collapse. Today the aver age price of bonds is rising toward 90. A ship men feared a year ago would sink is sailing safely into port. A year ago the average value of stocks, as figured by Standard Sta tistics, was represented by the fig ure 51. Now the average rises near to DO. Another ship which seemed not long about about to sink, is con fidently riding the waves. A year ago cotton growers were getting only 6 cents for their crop. They are getting twice that now. Wheat growers get a half more than a year ago. A little more than a year ago it looked as if producers might soon be getting nothing at all for the products of their labor. Where the average price level a year ago was S9, today it is rising to $1.40. Employment ccrresponcling-j ly increased. A year ago we were lean and sick enough to be patient and submis sive. Now we are waxing fat enough to kick a bit. Dayton News. :o: REX TUGWELL HAKES SIGNIFICANT REPLY Rexford G. Tugwell has made the most significant rpcech by cr for the administration in months. It was fitting that he should make answer to the hullabaloo raised about a "brain trust." The very criti:3 who cry "Regi mentation" have not made so clear an explanation cf why it is impossible to "regiment" the American people and would be foolish to try. "The core cf the American tradi tion is to be found in a kind of de fiance to fate. We will net do what we do not want to do end coercion cannot make us. We can be fooled but not for long. We have a prec ious inventiveness which gets cut of holes. We have a saving irreerence of authority. . . . No one with the slightest sense of history would try to fit such a people into a regiment ed scheme." A man who thus describes the Am erican character is to be reckoned with. If such ar the brains of the "brain trusters," they will be able to gie answer answer to the amaz ing charge that we should not have brains in our government a strange charge surely for men who protest their veneration cf Washington, Jef ferson, Hamilton and Lincoln. Mr. Tugwell's answer is emphatic. "No one could be found a year ago who wanted to stop everything. Now there are a noisy few who want to go back to 1929." "Time will tell," he says, "which in these times is the best American those who believe that the racketeering, tho financial juggling the exploitation of workers and consumers must be ended once for all ... or those who believe it more important that come few in siders should be allowed to mani pulate materials, natural resources and social institutions for their own good at the expense of all the rest." There is a fair setting forth of the aims of the administration. It is agreed that exploitation had gone too far. Those who led it do not deny that. Instead they cry out that the ways chosen to correct the abuses are "experiment" are "un-American," are any label which may appeal to prejudice. "Industrial experimentation," says Mr. Tugwell, "has made men's liv ings insecure. It came to the point where even a good farmer, cultivat ing fertile soil efficiently, could not succeed, where very few workers over 40 were employable, where un employment was growing yearly even in prosperity." In such a situation, change was bound to come. A reforming of come kind was inevitable. One alterna tive was the kind cf reforming Eu rope is experiencing with the result that "over 350 million people who thought they were free 15 years ago are now living under some kind of dictatorship." The other alternative i3 the kind of reform attempted by the new deal, not now in final form surely, but an attempt to limit abuse and secure to the men who produce wealth a fairer share under our American system. The Roosevelt creed insiat3 on democracy in a nation which has known no other form. The men who resist anything that attempts a limit on exploitation are not conservative; they would not save anything dear to American ideals; they would steer our course for some form of fascist dictatorship.

Governor Bryan Wednesday night formally launched the contract for work on a $150,000 federal highway project here, which includes construction of an under pass at the downtown Burlington railroad crossing. The project is to be financed thru appropriations to the state for fed eral highway thru cities, and in cludes 1.1 miles of paving. The governor, State Highway En gineer Cochran and Burlington offi cials were guests of the chamber of commerce at a dinner later, at which good roads was the theme. Bryan gave assurance that paving of highway No. 6 between allstings and Exeter will be rushed as fast as fund3 are available. The right-of-way is agreed upon for the entire distance, he said. He said also that tentative plans have been made for an overpass to eliminate highway 281 crossing the Union Pacific railroad tracks on the north side of Hastings.
