ddrrsiiig thousand), of "home
folk" and otit-of-town visitor, who
bad gathered to welcome him back
to Marion for his first visit since his
inauguration, liie executive told his
audience he meant to sound no note
of pessimism.
"This republic is secure," he
added, "menaces do arise, but public
opinion will efface them. Meanwhile
Koverninent niuitt repress them."
Commenting in a general way on the
industrial situation, the president
made this observation:
"A free American has the right to
labor without any others' leave. It
Mould be no less an abridgement to
deny men to bargain collectively and
governments cannot tolerate any
class or group domination through
force. It will be a sorry day when
group domination is reflected in our
laws, tiovernment, and the laws
which government is charged with
enforcing, must be for all the people,
ocr aiming at the common good."
Describes Greatest Traitor.
The president declared with em
phasis that his "one outstanding con
viction" after 16 months in the White
House was that the greatest traitor
to his country is he who appeals to
prejudice and inflames passion when
sober judgment and honesty of
speech are so necessary to firmly
establish tranquility and security."
Referring briefly to international
relations of the United States, Mr.
Harding said that "all is well."
"They are securer today, with
more assuring prospects of peace,
than ever before in the history of
the republic. New guarantees nave
recently been added, by the very
process ol exchanging viewpoints
and bringing the spokesmen of great
rations to the conference table, and
lor the exchange of views, and to
resolve to do together those fine and
nobler things whioh no one nation
could do alone."
At the outset of his address the
president told his fellow townsmen
it was "exceedingly good to come
liome ami meet with you again."
The text of President Harding's
prepared address follows:
"My Friends and Neighbors:
"It is exceedingly good to come
home and meet with you again and
join you in the centennial celebration
of the founding of Marion. Frankly,
it would be preferable to come sim

to feel a peculiar intimacy toward
such an occasion.

Bryan Menaced
With Opposition
of Dry Leaders
High Announces Anti-Saloon
League Look With Dis
favor on Any Tieup
With Hitchcock.
Lincoln. July 4. (Special Tele
gram.) The itryans and' prohibition
workers, who went arm in arm for
years in Nebraska threatened today
to art company.
I A. Migm, secretary ot the Anti-
Saloon league, issued the following
statement:
"The league is opposed to the
nomination of Senator Hitchcock,
and looks with disfavor upon any tie
up with him. It will use its influence
to prevent the success of any move
ment intended to enhance his chances
of a nomination ang election. Any
body who ties up with Mr. Hitch
cock is antagonizing our program,
which includes a dry asa successor
to Mr. Hitchcock."
The High statement followed re
ceipt by Brother Charlie Bryan,
candidate for nomination for gover
nor on the democratic ticket, of an
endorsement of Senator Hitchcock,
Mr. Bryan for governor, William J.
McNiehols for licuteti5nt governor
and Kenneth W. McDonald for at
torney general by the democratic
harmony league of Douglas county.
Signers Wet Leaders.
Names of signers to the Harmony
club's endorsement are those famil
iar for years in wet politics in Nc
brascka and also, in many instances,
in the famous Omaha Third ward
politics.
Many of the signers are looked
upon bv state politicians here as
men who have "jumped 'hrough
hoops" for Hitchcock in every politi
cal bat.'.? in years and there is little
doubt among these politicians that
the endorsement was inspired by
Hitchcock leaders.
The tieup with Bryan is looked
upon as a double-cross to J. N. Nor
ton, who for a time was reputed to
be getting silent endorsement of
Hitchcock followers in the state, but
recently Norton stock has been re
ported to be dropping below par.
Hitchcock'sReasons for Move.
Hitchcock, it is reported, is lend
ing his support to Bryan for two
reasons
First: It is generally understood
ithat if "Brother Charlie" wins in the
primaries, William Jennings Brvan

Second: It is known that Hitch
cock does not want to see Dan But
ler of Omaha nominated for gover
nor because that would put two
Omaha politicians on the ticket for
the two biggest offices in the state,
and also because Butler is known to
be wet and so is Hitchcock, and that
would solidly align wets and drys
in a fight. Bith Bryan the nominee,
tTtfViprtl" .vnprlc netrrA'rirt
formation here, to get tht dry vot.?
Bryan would receive as well as the
wet vote certain to go to him. But
High's ultimatum to Bryan tonight
is expected to hinder the working
of the plan to some degree,

At the same time the treasury an
nounced final figures of government
receipts and expenditures for the
past fiscal year revealed a surplus of
$314,000,000.
The total ordinary receipts of the
government for the fiscal year 1922
amounted to $4,109,000,000, compared
with $5,625,000,000 the previous year,
while the total expenditures charge
able against ordinary receipts
amounted to $3,795,000,000 as against
$5,538,000,000 during 1921.
Receipts Large.
"When the budget was submitted
last December," the treasury stated,
"the estimate indicated a deficit for
1922 amounting to $24,468,073 and
! the better showing which has been
i majc rt.suts from a combination of
several factors
j "Accrpo-atp receint.s for the vear

any previous fiscal year in the his
tory of the government, and amount
ed to $356,443,387.18 as compared
with the estimate of $275,000,000. In
ternal revenue receipts amounted to
$3,213,255,256.79. or almost exactly
the estimated $3,214,500,000.
"Miscellaneous revenues, includ
ing tolls, amounted to $539,407,506.97
as compared with an estimated $478,
953,663, the difference being due
chiefly to increased relization of
property and securities and the sale
of about $44,000,000 of federal land
bank bonds owned by the govern
ment. Expenditures Below Estimates.
"Total, expenditures on the other
hand were almost $200,000,000 less
than the estimates given last De
cember in the budget, due largely to
decreased expenditures on account of
the railroads, and to unexpectedly
large realization upon railroad obli
gations held by the government,
including particularly equipment
trust notes."
The total gross debt of the United
States on June 30 amounted to $22,-

Washington. July 4. Twelve F-5-L
seaplanes of the navy have com
pleted a flight of 1,000 miles from
Philadelphia to the naval air base at
Pensacola, Fla., without mishap. The
flight, without accident, is regarded
as a high tribute to the efficiency and
reliability of material and personnel.
It also demonstrated conclusively the
mobile qualities of naval aviation
units.
The flight from the naval aircraft
factory at Philadelphia was under
taken in the interest of economy. The
alternative procedure would have
been to pack the planes for shipment
and transportation from Philadelphia
to Pensacola bv rail at a cost of be

Lutherans Uphold
Prohibition, Says
Uncoln Minister
Rev. Paul Matusehka Declares
Denomination in Favor of
Act Since it Became
Law of Land.
The following statement was made
yesterday by the Rev. Paul Ma
tusehka of Lincoln:
From statements made by some
prominent Lutheran pastors in Chi
cago and published ;.u the press July
1, an erroneous impression has been
created regarding the stand of the
Lutherans on prohibition.
In the first place, prohibition has
at all times been regarded by the
Lutheran church as a question of
policy or expediency which the cit
izens may decide in any way they
please i.n order that the greatest
amount of good accrues to the citi
zenship of the commenwcalth.
"The use of liquor in itself is no
sin, any more than the use of cotfec
or tea.
The Savior, for instance, used wine
for a beverage at the wedding at
Cana, and has used wine in the
eucharist. The Lord neither forbids
nor commands the use of it, if used
moderately. Intemperance, drunk
enness, are under the ban of the
word of God. But the moderate
use is left by the Almighty to the
freedom and discretion of man.
Saloonkeepers Barred.
When the prohibition question was
put to a vote of the people a ma
jority of the Lutheran people, per
haps, voted for prohibition because
they never approved of the liquor
traffic by the saloon. A keeper of
a saloon could not, for instance, be
a member in good standing of a
congregation of the Missouri synod.
In its periodicals the question'
whether a Christian could with good
conscience sign a bond for a keeper
of a saloon was answered in the
negative.
All of which goes to show that
while the Missouri synod, of which
the pastors quoted in the article re
ferred to are prominent members,
has at no time approved the vicious
liquor traffic, yet at the same time it
held that the moderate use of intoxi
cants is an open question, a qutstion
which every Christian could decide
for himself as he liked. And since
this was so, the church could con
sistently take no stand on prohibition
other than to say that it was a mat
ter of policy or expediency, subject
to the decision of the majority of the
people.
. Teaches Law Obedience.
Howeyer, at this time, afyr pro-
hibition has been enacted into law in I
rnncfnnpiirp nf n rrn c t itn t.n-il
amendment, the status is an entirely
different one. The Lutheran church
teaches its members to obey all laws
of the state as long as they do not
contravene a distinct command of
God. The church, therefore insists
that all its members must obey the j
prohibition laws as well as any other
laws of the state, and warns its n'?m-
hers not to violate the law tor uod s
sake and for the sake of their con
science, according to Romans 13:5,
which reads: "Wherefore ye must
needs be subject not only for wrath
but also for conscience sake."
All of which goes to show that the
Lutheran church, before prohibition
was enacted into law, considered the
using of intoxicants in a moderate
way a question of policy or expedi
ency. Since prohibition has become
a law of the land the church teaches
ana aamonines lis memoers not 10 i
violate the same for their conscience !
sake and in obedience to the Word
of God enjoining upon all Christians j
j j i .
to submit themselves to every ordi
nance of man for the Lord's sake

Burlington Asks
Shopmen to Come
Back by July 10
Offers to Consider Seniority
as Still in Effect Letter
Is Addressed to Men
by President.
Burlington shopincn who walked
out Saturday are asked by the road
to return and July 10 is named as
the last day that seniority ranking
will be recognized as still effective.
Those who return prior to that
date will be considered as having
been in the continuous service of the
company insofar as their rights are
concerned.
Those returning after that time
will be considered, if accepted, as
new employes.
The information was contained in
a letter wired to employes by Hale
Holden, president of the system.
"For years in the past." says the
letter, "we have been able to meet
and agree amicably. We 'believe that
condition can and should exist again.
Shop Worker's Wife
Shoots at Pickets
Grand Island Woman Uses
Pistol as Union Men At
tempt to Halt Mate.
Grand Island, Neb., July 4 (Spe
cial Telegram.) The first breach of
order in connection with the strike
here took place when Mrs. Dobber
stein, wife of a shop employe who
did not go out, fired two shots near
a group of pickets which, according
to city authorities, hailed her hus
band as he was leaving the shops in
the car brought by his wife.
Mrs. Dobberstein declares that the
men were throwing stones at their
car and also that she did not dis
charge the revolver.
Union men deny that they threw
any stones and union Pacific watch
men also fail to corroborate the
charge.
It is given out by police that the
woman probably became frightened
and shot, as the husband later ad
mitted, in order to scare the pickets.
The gun was taken away from the
woman but no further action is likely
to be taken.
A few days ago a laborer was slap
ped and kicked by a striker, but this
is the only other incident reported by
Union Pacific watchmen.
Captured Bank Robbers

One of the bandit trio was slain
and two captured near here Thurs
day following the robbery of the
Dighton bank.
The dead bandit was identified as
Thomas Martin, who escaped from
the Oklahoma state prison, where
he was serving a 40-year sentence' for
robbery. The two held are C H.

ident of the maintenance workerj, an
nounced after an all-day conference
with members of the United States
railroad labor board.
"After a most careful considera
tion of this entire situation, we have
reached the conclusion that it is not
wise for our membership to leave the
service of the carriers until every
resource has been exhausted that af
fords hoffe of a peaceful adjustment,"
sail! the announcement, which was
signed by Mr. Grable, three vice pres
idents of the union and a quorum of
the executive board, constituting a
subcommittee 0 the executive board
of grand lodge officers.
Due to Board.
The conference resulted from the
personal efforts of Walter L. Mc
Mcnimen and Ben W. Hooper of the
lbor board. Mr. McMcniinc.i, a
member of the labor group on the
board, arranged the conference by
telephone on Saturday with Mr.
Grible, who was in Detroit canvass
:ug the strike vote of his organization.
This vote was said to be largely in
favor of a alkout.
Accompanied by J. C. Smocg, vice
president, and members of his ex
ecutive council, Mr. Grable arrived
in Chicago from Detroit this morn
ing and immediately went into con
ference with Mr. McMcnimen and
Chairman Hooper of the board. Ex
cept for a brief adjournment for'
lunch, the session continued all day.
Tbc formal announcement was not

Course of Action.
"First: To instruct our chairman
on each carrier to take up promptly
with the management all the" griev
ances and controversies outstanding
between the members of our organi
zation and the carriers, for the pur
pose of negotiating a speedy adjust
ment, the matters to be taken up,
among others, to embrace a revision
of the recent wage decision of the
railroad labor board, certain changes
in our rules, and the question of
contracting out the labor of the
classes of employes included in our
organization. That the carriers
could not well hvsitate to consider a
revision of the wage decision is in
dicated by the fact that many of
them have already been offering cer
tain changes favorable to certain
classes.
"Second: In case of failure to
secure from any carrier fair and
reasonable 'concessions in regard to
the various matters involved, to
bring these matters before the rail
toad labor boafd with the assurance
that they shall be given the right of
way for prompt consideration and
decision.
Will Continue Work.
"Third: To continue work under
the present wage decision of the
labor board under protest, pending
the efforts to obtain a satisfactory
adjustment.
"Fourth: To insist that any re
vision of wages obtained be made
retroactive to July 1.
"Fifth: To seek immediately from
the railroad labor board a ruling ab
solving our members from being re
quired to perform the work of strik
ing employes belonging to other
classes.
"Sixth: To withhold our strike
order pending the carrying out of
the foregoing program.
"With the best interests of the
members of our organization at
heart, it is our judgment that more
will be gained for them by the pro
gram here outlined than could be
derived from any other course.
Confidence in Public.
''We believe that a just and gener
ous public sentiment will sustain us
in this policy, and every move neces
sary to its accomplishment will be
most vigorously pressed.
"This announcement will be fol
lowed by circular letter dealing with
this matter more in detail."
This announcement was signed by
E. F. Grable, P. Woods, W. D.
Roberts, E. L. Enke, G. W. Plan
