Language Law
Unconstitutional,
Ruling of Court
FVnnunent Injunction Ver.
admitting foreign Tongue In
striietion in Religioui
Schools at Columbus.
mmont, Neb., Sept. Z4 tspecuij.
Declaring the Reed-Xorval act,
which prohibit the use of foreign
languages in Nebraska schools to le
unconstitutional, Judge Frederic V.
Hut ton today rendered an opinion at
Columbus which givei the Nebraska
district of the Lutheran Evangelical
synod of Missouri perpetual injunc
tion ssainst the state of Nebraska
wlich forbids enforcement of the law.
The injunction restrains the state
from interfering with the civing of
religious instruction in "private,
parochial and denominational schools
in any language required by the par
cuts of the pupils who attend the
church or school." It also forbids
the state from interfering with the
imparting of necessary instruction in
s"id languages, to enable teachers
intelligently and efficiently to impart
religious instruction to their pupils.
Contest Jurisdiction.
At the beginning of the arguments
the court was confronted with the
problem of whether the district court
had jurisdiction where the constitu
tionality of a law is in question.
Judge Button explains that the su
preme court is a court of limited
jurisdiction and that the district
court is a court of original common
law jurisdiction and has jurisdiction
in all cases except where that right is
expressly withheld.
The case was brought before
Judge Button from Platte county
district court at Columbus. The
'-rt'inion is considered of nation-wide
importance and will establish a prece
dent. The American Legion took
part in the arguments before Judge
Button, appearing as "friend of the
court" in the interest of the Amer-
: : .! . t -i- . i
v iiamiaiion 01 ine loreign element
of Nebraska. Judge Button's opin
ion is an exhaustive study of the
many details introduced in the liti
gation. '
France Teaches German.
Relative to the effect of foreign
languages in schools Judge Button
said in part:
"We might say in passing over
that Kranr tinrlr flrrman anil
English in its schools, - England
, teaches German and French. Rou
niar.ia refuses to graduate a pupil
who cannot speak at least three
languages. The countries of the
world are so closely connected In
this age that statesmen believe a
knowledge of the more important
languages is necessary for . business
reasons and in time of war for mil
itary purposes. , . - .
I he soul of a people is reflected
in the language they speak. There-1
fore,1 when a pupil learns another
language ne acquires sometning 01
the soul therein reflected, and he
- grows up to be a broader-minded
and better man than he otherwise
would. Then what is the duty of
our country in this matter? - Wc
leave the question to our people, to
answerAnd it should be reinem-l

Slayer Serving Life Term
Writes Poem to Ease Mir cl
Frank Connell, Convicted
Of Killing Two of Posse
After Bank Robbery,
Pen's Poet.
Lincoln, Sept. 24. (Special.)
Like the prisoner of Chillon, who in
spite of his chains and prison bars,
burst into song and recounted the
misfortunes of liiuuelf and family.
Frank Connell, serving a life sen
tence for murder of two men at
Sunol, Neb., lit 1916, breaks the
monotony of the prison grind with
bursts of poetry.
Connell, unlike the prisoner of
Chillon, who was somewhat selfish
and sang only blues for himself,
sings for humanity and for the wel
fare of his fellow prisoners.
Composes Poems.
Connell, a fclltw with studious
tendencies, resembles the bird in the
cage, who would ease his soul in
sonjt. Instead of beating futilly
against his prison bars in wild protest
agajnst h's imprisonment, Connell.
when he feels the urge upon him.
takes his pen, dips it into the ink and
composes a poem.
Since his entrance into prison Con
nell has written several poems. One
entitled "Electrocution," written on
one of the days set for the oft-pnst-poned
execution of Cole and G ram
mer, follows:
"Tha dy dawns rlrar without e alan of

Men that are Inaane thoughtlessly tarnish

For no art he may do, yet regret when

If that art he the life of another to take.
Civil law will not satisfy the law divine.
So keep your eou! clean while yet there
la time.
Klertrornted! t'ght what a wordt
The moat aoul-damnlng ear ever heard!
This poem, in its not too elegant
English or rythmical structure is a
protest against capital punishment.
Another, "Retribution," in which
the writer comes to the conclusion
that he must answer only to God
for his transgressions here below,
follows:
Here In mv low-ceiled room of ateel
Blank walla ahut out all else or life.
Locked close within their bound I feel
Clod's love, free from pain and toil and
atrlfe.
-Oh, God, alone with Thee ! kneel.
Society -may claaa ma and 'my fellow
men, As criminals unworthy of their loves
Let conscience file the sentence then.
While dod looks down from high above;
Oh, God, guide now my pen.
f'rltlca may censor us forever and a day.
Blinded by their lusts and greed of
wealth; ' '
Jhlnlting not. we are as Immortal aa
they;
While death steals by with atep of
stealth;
Oh, God. to Thy summons what shall
they aay 7 '
When court convenes, before God'a great
white throne.
And their sentence by the judge la read:
Will they face It bravely, or will they
weep and groan?
To His,, command, "What you have to
say, - let it be said."
Oh. God, alone may they to Thee
' atone. . . , v . . .
If my prayers would gain for them your
love so true.
Then gladly I would pray, earnestly,
both night and day,
That heaven's eternal freedom be granted
them by you; -For
by their persecution, I hava found
tta way i
Oh. God, they know not what they
do. .
Awaken then, cold heart of men. In
ciays aDoae,
Deal kindly with the erring,, while still
For God'a all-seeing eye sees you place
That chllla or thrills the aoul of your
feilowman;
Oh, God, why so short Life a road?

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless Washing
Soap should be used very care
fully, If you want to keep your hajr
looking its best Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. This dries the scalp, makes
the hair brittle and ruins it
The best thing; for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(which is pure and greaseless),and
is better than anything else you can
use. .
One or two teaspoonsful of Mulsi
fied will cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. It makes
an abundance of rich, creamv lather,
which rinses out easily,, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
Quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, flurry and easy
to manage.
ou can -get Muleifled cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and a few ounces will supply
every member of the family for
months. Be sure your druggist gives
you Mulsified.

Analysis of Credit
However, Mr. Ramsay submitted
some information to be used at tiie
niceiinKt consisting of an analysis of
the distribution of credit at the Fed
eral Reserve bank of Kansas City as
of August 31. 1921. This memor
andum shows th.it out of a total
membership of 1.0K0 hanks, 3iKi are
borrowing about SO per cent in ex
cess of their basic line; 303 are only
borrowitm about 5H per cent of their
basic line; while 471 members with
basic lines aggregating $-16,000,000.
are not borrowing.
"You will also observe from the
memorandum enclosed that we have
an uuuirj lending rer cl about
o0,0uu,(kil which is subject to call
of member banks offering eligible
pil'tr, the semt of which is agricul
ture and live stork. You will note
that in the state ef N'ebraka 7.'
member banks are borrowing in ex
cest of their basic line, S7 Irsa than
their basic line, while 74 ire nut bor
rowing. May Discount 112,700,000.
"Hanks in the last two cUtws
may discount wi'H us at least
700,000 any time they desire."
The figures alo show that the
basic lines of 7 banks which are
overborrowed are $2.H8.637, snd the
amount borrowed by them $4,944,
194. The 57 banks which havo bor
rowed less than their basic line have
a right to borrow $IO,J06.'y.U, and
have borrowed only $6J19,151.
The 74 banks which have not
tiken advantage of this borrowing
power have basic line of 8,7V7.lV0.
