"You have to do with the administration of the public busi ness that ia closest to the needs of the people, and a great responsibility confronts anyone who aids in the ad ministration of our political affairs. “A courthouse square means almost as much to me as a statehouse square, and a square courthouse means just as mudi to me as a square statehouse. It is as important that we have worthy men in our court house as it is that we have worthy men in our statehouse. To make our city, county and state or nation a better place in which to live is all there is to clean politics, and that is the work of a real true politician. Have Enough Laws. "We do not need any more laws to make business better," he continued. "The American people when left alone for a reasonable length of time can solve any problem confronting them. Luring the last 12 months fully BO,000 bills dealing with business have been Introduced in our state legislatures and an average of 1,000 per month all through 1928 were enacted In law. In the last five congresses 90,000 bills were Introduced and 2,400 passed. Certainly we do not need any more, directly or indirectly favoring tax free securities. It is our duty and obligation to the next generation of Americans to abolish this condition. We do need those laws of that class in effect repealed and every security should be taxed its Just proportion.” Alien Smuggling Plot Revealed By Associated Press. Mulone, "N. Y., Deo. 15.—While searching for bootleggers along the Canadian border, federal agents and the “black horse” troop of the state police have stumbled on what Is evi dently a gigantic plot to smuggle aliens Into this country. So far this month 50 aliens have been caught along the frontiers of the four northeastern counties of the state. It was authoritatively learned today. This party confirms a report made public at the national Industrial conference In New York, quoting Secretary of Labor Davis as saying that as many as 1.000 aliens dally were being lllegaly brought Into the United States. The aliens as a rule are of a de sirable type, but have been barred from entering this ocuntry because the Immigration quotas for the year have been filled. Most of the aliens taken Into custody in recent weeks have been Irish, English and Swedish. A small proportion were Italian. Many of them are trained workmen and expert farmers. The authorities reported today that they believed they had the liquor smuggling situation well In hand. Ad mitting that large quantities had been poured over the line in recent weeks, they pointed to the fact they had seized more than 76 laden cars In the last two and one-half months as proof of their vigilance.

It Is the first of Its kind In the city. We have regular hospitals, doll hospitals, and animal hospitals but the new one Is in the large mail room of the Omaha postofflre. It Isn’t finished entirely In white enamel, It hasn’t shining metals or terrifying instru ments of torture. But, like any hos pital, it has an operating table, hos pital supplies and a doctor. This hos pital was started a year ago. The doctor who started the hospital is W. N. Erickson, an employe of the Omaha postoffice for 33 years. Torn and broken packages that are found In the mall are sent to the hospital In a section of the mail room. The packages are piled on trucks and on the operating table where Mr. Erickson stands at his work. This doctor's hours are In the morning when packages from the night sorting of mall are sent to him for repairs. Before Mr. Erickson saw the need of this hospital, broken packages with contents sometimes spilling out were thrown under the tables for in vestigation at a later time or to be sent to the “dead package" office. But now these package® are taken to the hospital to be mended, rewrapped and patched up so they can be shipped. At the operating table Mr. Erlclt ton stands, gathering up spilled bird seed and putting It back In Its pack age, wrapping a package on which the address is nearly obliterated by melted butter, or scooping up paint from a can that has been broken open In shipment Scissors, heavy wrapping paper and stout string are in use at this table throughout the morning. “One of the saddest cases J have had for some time came In the other day," said Mr. Erickson. "A beauti ful big-eyed doll had Its head com pletely smashed. I suppose some Iron auto part happened to be shipped next to It and It broke In the jolting. Some little girl Is going to be broken hearted. The doll’s head was In so many pieces that I could only gather up the broken bit* and •end them on to the destination. “It Is a queer thing, but honey seems to burst out of the cans more than liquid paints. Then we do have a sticky time of it. When bottles of flavoring extract are broken, the air is pungent with odors. Spilled coffee, tea, flour, and Jars of fruit, sent by some relative, that are broken In transit are some of the things Mr. Erickson must handle. Little chicks are penned up again in case they are trying to escape and live lizards are watched carefully at this hospital by the doctor. “This Is the only hospital for post office packages In the country, I be lieve,’’ eald Ericksoh. “I should have started it long ago." Christmas time Is the busy season at the hospital. Ears broken from rocking horses are collected, crying dolls rewrapped and spilled games gathered, together. Mr. Erickson could easily find a job In the Santa Claus factory. Christmas Cheer Chamber Lunch Judge C. O.
