HITCHCOCK AND PROHIBITION.
Senator Hitchcock haa iaiuad a statement invIU
Ing support for hit third term candidacy in which he
concedes that prohibition "muit be accepted as a set
tled Issue," a question "that the people have decided,"
, and adds:
Klx year ago during- the election I aald I was
agamai protutmion, hut that If It carried I would
help enforce' it. ThU I have done by aupportlng
. all appropriations and all lejlalatlon needed -for
tha purpuae. I shall continue to support enforce
ment legislation and appropriations.
Senator Hitchcock invites prohibition votes by a
promise that be will support enforcement of prohibi
tion and by his own statement makes his past record
the guaranty of his futurt performance. Nebraska
voters who have witnessed the enforcement of pro
hibition by its opponents in this and other states no
doubt will look into that record.
Two years ago Nebraska democrats held a bsn
quet in Omaha, at which former Congressman A. C.
Shallenberger was toastroaster. Senator Hitchcock
was not present, but sent a telegram to Mr. Shallen
berger, in which he said:
I accept without reaervatlon the constitutional
; dectxion of the people which abollahes the Ameri
can saloon forever and with It strong Intoxicating
llquor. I believe, however, a lawful way will be
found and ought to be found to permit the manu
facture and harmless nee of light-wlnea and beer.
The aupreme court has opened the way for this
by holding- that congress may decide what con
stitutes Intoxicating liquor and on that matter
congress Will naturally respond to the will and
Judgment of the American people whan properly
, expressed. Laws, while they exist, should be en
forced, but ths American people can not be denied
the right to change them.
This was Senator Hitchcock's statement as to bow
he believed prohibition should be enforced, year
after the ratification of the Eighteenth amendment
and three years after Nebraska voted overwhelm
ingly "dry."
' This was an additional and important chapter to
a long list of activity in opposition to prohibition in
any form and at any place. Senator Hitchcock's con
gressional record shows that he voted to exempt in
toxicating liquors for personal use from tha federal
prohibition of the interstate shipment of liquors, this
in the days when various states were asking federal
aid to permit the enforcement of state prohibitory
laws. He voted against prohibition for the District
of Columbia on three distinct occasions. He voted
against submission of the Eighteenth amendment and
against the Volstead enforcement act He voted
against the use of beer as medicine when the bill
came up for final vote in November, 1921, but on
the earlier and more critical ballot in August, he was
"not voting."
This is the record on which Nebraska is to judge
of the meaning of Senator Hitchcock's new promise.
"IT'S ICE-COLD."
They tell us the human trace is changing for the
worse, much for the worse. .They say our godly
forefathers have been succeeded by a dollar-mad
ace of men without ideals, thickly sprinkled with
downright grafter? ; the good dames of yesterday
bave given way to wonuen whose main thoughts are
of frivolity and pleasure. Our boys, they say, are
wpoiled, by lax discipline , too-good clothes . and
motorcars. And our girls, oh, the girls are so flap
perish that they are totally beyond hope.
. But have you noticed that boys still run pop
rtands? , '
Now, a pop stand is hardly what you "would call
a beacon light on the ocean of time. But a pop
irtand has a great significance, nevertheless.
"Ice-cold pop, five cents a glass."
Patiently the boyish voices pipe the call all day
long' as they stand inhe hot sun behind their store
boxes.
"Ice-cold pop, five cents a glass."
And in this simple fact we think we see a refuta
tion of the apprehensions of the fearful who see only
calamity in the future of the race. Most of our boys
sire good boys. They run pop stands, carry paper
loutes, save their money, study. They don't hang
Lang around pool halls, smoke cigarets and indulge
is motor car episodes, .
The boys of today are just as wholesome and
the girls just as good as the boys and girls of yes
WHERE LOVE SELDOM FAILS
' Science, or what passes for science, occasionally
goes to absurd lengths. For instance, recently an
. exponent of some of the more modern theories con
earning life and living wrote that love is a diminish
ing of dislikes. He contended that the thing known
' aa romantic love could very easily be demonstrated
to be a wholesale diminishing of dislikes, on the the
ory that we human beings merely tolerate each other.
Granting that such a naive disposal of adult love
, hag some foundation in truth, we cannot dispose so
readily with the affection we have for children. The .
herd instinct, your buzz-saw philosopher might say,
but those of us who know children know that it is
something deeper and finer. ,
A generation ago a man lived and wrote who felt
and knew this deeper and finer affection. He wrote
"Little Boy Blue," and "Winkum Blinkum and Nod,"
and other pieces for and about children. He was
Eugene Field, and while he was writing poems about
children he occasionally wrote prose. And in prose
he told the story of a crying baby on a train, of the
crusty old director of the road who went to bed and
whose slumbers the crying baby disturbed; of his
going back to the woman who held tha child and
admonishing her to keep it quiet; of the continued
-crying of the child, and another outburst from the
crusty old director. He wanted to know why she
didn't feed the child. Tha outburst was followed by
an explanation of tha woman that its mother lay in
coffin "up ahead."
The child was hungry, so the crusty old director
that everybody was afraid of, stopped the train at
tha nearest farmhouse, and saw to it that the child

director and cannot hear the crying of children need.

columns of the wan and white babes of Omaha that
need a few of your idle dollars to give them a chance
for life.
TRUST THE PEOPLE.
In all sincerity men arise now and then to despair
or America, as a uiual thing they are radicals, and
it must ba with some surprise) that they now find
that able New England conservatives, our secretary
ei war among mem, at tne walling place.
Dissimilar and antagonistic aa are their views,
yet both have a common starting point in their dis
like for the eternal law of evolution. Progress is
too slow, the radicals complain, and if some had their
way America would see another revolution. Changes
are too fast, Secretary Weeks laments, and If ha had
Bis way, something very like stagnation would result
The cornerstone of his little world is the Const!.
tutlon of the United States, as drawn to fit the needs
of the thirteen sesboard states in the year 1787. In
Its attempts to improve upon the work of the fathers
by amending the constitution, he is quoted as savin
mat tne country had "failed signally." Further than
enumerating the more recent amendments to the
Constitution, made by tha people in accordance with
iU wise provision for progress and growth, comment
on this is unnecessary. The list includes amend
ments for woman suffrage, prohibition, income tax
and direct election of United States senators.
Only the other day Americana were informed
through a decision of the supreme court that they
did not possess the constitutional power to abolish
by national enactment the exploitation -of children in
industry. It is impossible to maintain that the
founders of our nation would have opposed the pro
tection of the future citizens of the republic; the
factory system simply did not exist in their day.
Public opinion now is mobilizing for a new amend
ment to the Constitution which specifically will au
thorize tha limitation of the toil of boys and girls.
One of the finest things in the Constitution is the
provision for alteration to fit the changing needs of
democracy.
The progress of humanity may often be groping,,
haphazard or even bund. Our steps sometimes may
have to be retraced. But always there must be the
striving toward a better social goal. No one who
loves his fellowmsn and his country need despair of
America. " .
ECONOMY IN THE NEW CAPITOL.
There is no need for special haste in building
Nebraska's new cspitol; a few weeks more or less
will make little difference. For that heason, there
will bo- little popular objection to the delay resulting
from tha rejection of all bids on the superstructure
for the stated resson that there was insufficient com
petition on certain major items.
The contracts now pending are the most im
portant of all the various groups. They will aggre
gate more than half the value of the completed build
ing. They include that part of the structure wherein
quality of workmanship will tell. Thesl considera
tions justify the utmost care on the part of the capi
tol commission.
Pending the receipt of new bids, the commission
should investigate the facts alleged by State Engi
neer Johnson relative to excessive prices of sand and
the possibilit ythat the state may be able to furnish
the sand itself from its beds along the Platte river)
If Mr. Johnson is correct in charging a 25 per cent
jump in the price of sand the moment the state en
tere dthe market, the state has ample justification
for becoming its own sandman.
FATEFUL TIME FOR TAXPAYERS.
July the taxpayers' red-letter month is near
at hand. 2:
Many of us may not realize the significance which
July has for our pocketbooks. It is not then that we
pay our taxes. ' But then it is that our taxes are
fixed.
In July the county board finally approves the as
sessment roll, fixing the value of our property for
taxation purposes. In July the city commission, the
board of education, the utilities board and the county
commission fix the tax levies for their respective pur
poses for the forthcoming year.
In July our public officials decide what taxes we
shall pay in November, in May and in June, as the
various levies become due or delinquent
In July the various governmental boards and
commissions look over their books, make up their
budgets for 1923 and seek the levenue accordingly.
To cite one example, the action of the city commis
sion next month will decide whether or not the city
gains a new police patrol of its residental districts,
a step advocated by police officials and citizens' or
aranizations as a means of stopping outlawry. Here
tofore the city commission has said it had no funds;
In July it can provide the funds if it wants to. Or,
on the other hand, if taxes are to be reduced, July,
is tne month when the plans must be laid to do it.
If we believe our taxes are too high, now is the
time when we should get busy. If we believe that
money should be spent for new or extended activities
of government, now is when we should make our
plea. , It is too late to talk when we begin to pay;
tha time to get action is when the action is being
taken.
July is the month when the taxpayer should be
vociferous.

A REAL JOB FOR GUNMEN.
Clever as they are, gunmen plying their trade in
Omaha and elsewhere in America are exhibiting a
marked lack of perspicacity.
Fertile fields lie across the sea ready lor harvest
by experienced two-gun toters. The territory is
large most any Irish city in the reign-of -terror zone
offers a splendid opening. Let our Fred Browns and
other 'members of the profession man the armed
motor lorries:
The ray is said to be high, and hearken to these
other inducements as set down by an American cor
respondent, recently a visitor in Belfast:
, Automobile thrown In.
Assistant ammunition carrier and gun carrier.
Old age pension (If he livee that long).
Honorable burial, If the body can be found.
The work is said to be thrilling enough for tha
most bloodthirsty and no job for a second rater.
If the American gunmen only would wake up to
the opportunities in the export field, England and the
United States both might benefit thereby.
Those budding naval academy students who
vented their spite on Ensign Kaplan can hardly be
given tha ancient classification of "officer and gen
tlemen," What a great part of the unpleasant hap
penings and injusSces of the world would be avoided
by gentlemanly conduct
.
Tha aged prince of Monaco has just undergone a
severe operation, but it is to be supposed that he will
be satisfied to have a gambler's chance of recovery.
Item of no importance to Americans: The vines

Keeping Uie Penalty.
J. P. O'Furey. tha Cadar County News.
It Is the abuse of the Nebraska
Indeterminate sentence law and the
present system of paroling criminals
which is rapidly bringing both Into
disrepute. It was the plea that se
vere sentences strictly enforced
failed to reform those convicted of
crime that brought about a modi
fication of the methods of punishing
criminals. The pendulum has
swung to the opposite extreme, how
ever, and society has discovered that
leniency reforms the criminally In
clined even less than severity.
Respect for the law can be incul
cated only by the observance of both
the letter and the spirit of the law
by those honored with positions of
trust. Pardoning bank wreckers
like Matters and sending the manu
facturer of a quart of home-made
hootch to jail does not make for the
happiness and contentment of the
individual. Spending thousands of
dollars and several years' time to
convict murderers caught In the act
and throwing In jail those charged
with petty misdemeanors will not
bring about the millennium.
Corporations may not have souls.
but they will find It to their advan
tage to have more respect for the
judgment of the people as expressed
in the laws and the individual citi
zens will have more consideration
for their pleas. Jiist now the public
is demanding that the laws be en
forced' more strictly and more Im
partially. The public also demands
that less maudlin sympathy be
wasted on criminals and that they
be compelled to pay the penalty of
their misdeeds.
"Do You Know Who I Am?"
From the Sao Francisco Chronicle.
Thinking men and women In this
country realize that we as. a people
are engendering contempt for law
through unfair discrimination and
woeful laxity in Its enforcement.
We are developing- a class or citi
zens who make a fetish of special
privilege. ,
"Do you know wno 1 am?"
The implied threat is hurled at
the traffic policeman by the violator
of city ordinances.
, "Do you know who I am?"
The reckless speeder flings the
question at the "speed cop" who has
stopped him on the highway.
"Do you know who I am?".
The query is thundered at the
office-holder who seeks to correct
some existing- evil.
"Do you know who I am?"
The menace meets the Investi
gator who would uncover graft.
"Do you know who I am?"
The salesgirl is cowed by the
words.
"Do you know who I am?"
Tha streetcar conductor is inti
mated by the speech
"Do you know who I am?" --
The worker is put in his place by
fear of losing- his job.
"Do you know who I am?" '
.' The hotel clerk must truckle be
fore the portentous words.
"Do you know who I am?"
The judge about to pass sentence
hesitates.
So on down the line.
"Do you know who I am?"
Yes, we know who youare.
You are a politician, a labor
leader, an employer, a public of
ficial, a banker, a big business man,
a prominent club woman, a social
leader, a minister of the gospel, a
policeman, a deputy sheriff, a prohi
bition enforcement agent, an auto
mobile owner, a rich man, a rich
man's son, a prize fighter er possibly
a bartender. . Or if you are not. you
have some relative or close friend
who Is. ,
"Do you know who I am?"
Yes, we know, but we also know
that whoever you are, or whatever
you are, you stand on an absolute
equality with us before tha law.
Let's enforce the law without fear
or favor.
Way to Honest Tax System.
From, the Chicago Dally Nw.
In a jpecial bulletin issued by the

lucid statement by Alexander H.
RevelL. on the revenue situation In
the constitutional convention Is re
produced in full and every member
of the association is urged to bestir
himself to Impress on the delegates
to the convention from his district
the necessity and practicability of
eliminating the personal property
tax from the proposed revenue ar
ticle in the new organic law.
Mr. Re veil is a member of the
convention, as well as being a manu
facturer and a merchant. He does
not indulge in counsels of perfection.
Mr. Revell is satisfied that the con

Our BUI for Amusement.
From the Claelaaaal Tlataa-Slar,
Americans are persistent seekers
aner amusement, and nave earned
a world-wide reputation for extrava.
gance in the quest. The treasury's
aiimsTe or sigs.ooo.ooD as tne an
nual bill for theaters, circuses,
movies, parka, .etc, seems to justify
the reputation. It Is a consider.
able price we pay for being enter
talnsd, particularly when much of
the division Is ephemeral and
passes with the hour.
Yet If we look at this more er
less superficial pleasure as a health
ful relaxation from work, worry and
the deadly grind, as something
which quiets, or at least rests the
nerves, perhaps the total price Is not
so large after all. Eight hundred
and six million dollars figures down
to but tl cents per month, or about
S cents per dsy per person, surely
not a huge sum to pay for the small
pleasures msny get out of life.
It would be interesting, however.
to know what America pays In the
course of a year for the books It
reads, for the better musto it hears,
for the lectures which broaden the
mind. To thousands of people these
indulgences also are amusements.
but of a kind which add to their
culture and stimulate their minda
If every person of reading age In the
United States would spend 68 cents
per month in purely cultural pur
suits or amusements, we might rival

LETTER BOX
The Road Report
Fran the Norfolk News.
The fact that the commission
which Investigated charges of mal
administration of the state highway
department was unanimous In Its
findings that there was nothing
about the department to criticise
will completely disarm those who
have been trying to make polltloal
capital out of attacks on the department
The report is entitled to greater
confidence because on the commis
sion were Dr. Hoffmelster. a demo
crat, and Senator Epperson who, as
one of the most vociferous or tne
department's critics, admitted
frankly that he was prejudiced
against it. If the evidence was such
as to convince the critics, it must
have been very conclusive. The re
ports and figures submitted to the
commission showed, in fact, that
Nebraska is getting its roads built
cheaper than surrounding states,
when the class of construction Is
considered. Not only were hints at
graft and Irregularity utterly dis
credited, but positive evidence was
forthcoming to show that the de
partment was conducted with great
efficiency.
In few if any or the counties was
it possible to determine accurately
the coat of constructing or maintain
ing the. country road systems. This
is a defect that can easily be reme.
diedand probably will be now that
general attention has been directed
against it. -
Having thwarted the cheap at
tempt to Involve the road program
in dirty politics, Nebraska now will
be able to proceed with this im
portant work unhampered.

Receivership Waste,
Red Osk. la, June 14. To the
Editor of The Bee; Tour editorial In
last night's Bsc on "High Cost of
Receiverships" was most excellent
and timely. I have done much think
ing along that particular line recent
ly and my conclusion Is that the per
son or organisation that brings sbout
a reform In the conduct of reeelver
shlps and bankruptcies will do the
eountry a vast amount of good In a
business way.
For several years I had noted the
methods pursued and had heard time
and again that ths bankruptcy law
as we now have It was msde by lew
yers for lawyers, but I had no Idea
of the conditions until a concern 1
was connected with wss forcsd Into
bankruptcy and I had an opportunity
to aee money roll Into the pockets of
lawyers that ahould have gone to
creditors snd stockholders.
This particular concern and I
have heard and seen It demonstrated
that the same Is true of othere-rwss
forced Into bankruptcy In spite of an
agreement of creditors to keep It
running, and for no other reason
than that It would mean more money
for the attorneys. The attorneys
have already drawn two or three
good fat fees and the trustee has
also got some of his for doing noth
ing but sign papers and give the at
torneys permission to waste more of
what was left And aome of this
money that went to the attorneys
was for "making four copies of such-and-such
a legal document," and
some of those documents were pre
pared without the attorney knowing
anything about them.
The concern I refer to was an
Omaha concern. It went Into bank
ruptcy over a year ago. Its building
and equipment were sold for a song

latsr found the association did not
have abatraet, although no money
waa aupposed to be loaned on prop
erty without clear title. Cost me 126
to get abstract. Bought saeond place.
Deed was recorded and several years
later found, part of the description
had been left out by expert deed com
piler. Caused anxiety and werry for
some time to straighten out. Ab
stract on this place had aeveral flaws
More worry snd expense. Bought
third place. Sent deed east to be
stgned. Wrong party. Came back,
gent another deed. Notary public's
commission expired several months
before date of deed. No witnesses to
signature. Two or three minor er-
rora. Bent'deea eaat tnira time.
Deed finally filed. Let's hope It Is
somewhere within legal require

fact that property was located on
