Tailing With the Angels.
"Hollo, Central! (jive mc Heaven," in not
t lie exclusive pica of the innocent child, unerbed
in the limitation of the telrphone. It lias been
ichord and re-echoed through the ases by hu
manity, longing for a word from the other side.
Enoch talked with God; Adam with Abram,
Noah and Lot, and others of the patriarch eon
versed with the Almighty, and Moxes received
direction for organizing and carrying out the
Exodus, with specific instructions as to later pro
ceedings. Joshua and Balaam, and Gideon and
the rest were likewise favored, and Saul trouhlrd
Samuel through the Witch of Endor. Klijalt
communed with the angel in person, and Jonah
had his instructions direct. So it came down to
the days of Christ and His twelve.
"Did it end there? Many hcticve not. Hal
lucination, auto-hypnotism, rotary, whatever
torm of self-deception may be ascribed as ac
counting for the manifestation, many thousands
w illingly agree that holy men of their faith have
tommunication with the Most High. These are
tiot all in exalted positions, nor is the privilege
of conversing with those gone before limited al
ways to the devout or pious. The late James
K. Buckley wrote learnedly and entertainingly
on the subject of dreams and hallucinations, ac
counting for most of them on purely physical
grounds. But he and all others who have dis
cussed the subject have left unplumbed some
depths of the mind.
The Presbyterian minister who has announced
that what is commonly termed telepathy really
is "angel talk" has provided a support for faith
firmly held but tenuously sustained. It is easy
to believe that the smile, on baby's sleeping face
really is a reflex of angelic light; is it really
more difficult to similarly blieve that a pleasant
dream, either waking or sleeping, Ts really a
supernatural visitation? We are a hard-headed
ihow-me lot of materialists, ostensibly, but we
trust in things just as ridiculous when analyzed
as this proposal, and eventually call for the ex
ercise of quite as much faith; so why dismiss
this as wanting because unaccompanied by proof?
Marriages of the Immature.
One of the intimate revelations of the census
is that Americans are susceptible to the wiles of
Cupid, not exactly from the cradle to the grave,
but actually from childhood to dotage. In 1920
1,600 boys and 14,834 girls of the advanced age
of IS were recorded as married. Eighty-two
boys and 499 girls of that age had been divorced.
Here is occasion for reflection. We have been
shocked by the tales of child marriages that come
from India, of the early entrance into wedlock
in tropical or backward countries, but were
hardly prepared to know that the 'practice had
gained such a foothold in this land. The law re
gards the boy or girl of IS as still a child, sub"
.jeet to the truancy laws, and in no sense to be
considered as the head of a family. Allowing
ior the occasional freak by which development
comes unusually early, there is a distinct menace
in the marriage of a boy or a girl at such a
tender age. The serious business of setting up
a family calls for understanding that is not de
veloped at that age. Conditions under which
such marriages are contracted are not within the
law, usually, and where parents give consent to
the union of minors, common sense ought to for
bid it. The census also discloses that an in
crease in the number of persons married at each
age from 17 to 34 has increased since 1910. This
will answer the fear, if any, of race suicide in
America, but the practice of too early marriages
should be discouraged. '
Those Far-Seeing French.
One of the most popular of French kings
was Henry IV. Though a thorough-going demo
crat may find it hard to believe, yet he seems to
have loved his people, and to have been loved in
'return. He used to say that ht would have no
rest until every good subject had a chicken in
the pot.
This modern world, which is blind to the past,
likes to pride itself on having discovered the
principle of the greatest good to the greatest
number. The doctrine which is now heard from
so many sides, that there can be no national
prosperity until the nien on the soil enjoy the
fruits of their labor was anticipated several cen
turies by the dauphin, father of Louis XVI. He
had great appreciation for the farmers, and used
to say: "To despoil the farmer to enrich your
selves, you noblemen, you kill the hen that lays
the golden eggs."
AH through French history one may find
counterparts of the present. The philosopher,
Proudhon, once said: "You hear all over the land
that religion is losing its hold on the people, that
it is becoming the private inheritance of the rich;
like music, fashions and the sports, it is for them
but aa adornment of lite. Whit is the cause of

teams to eat caviar or do a number of things
that do not come natural question may be
rai.ed as to why Catherine, of all Kuini,
should be telccted as the subject. She has long
Lome a reputation for being anything but gentle
in tier manners. In fact, the was a worthy sue
ceor of Boris Goudunof, And this causes some
wonder by the Lenine government should have
consented to "loan" the great bao. Chaliapiii,
to the Metropolitan opera for the purpoie of
presenting Boris to the public again. An early
scion of the Romanoff dynity, so thoroughly
repugnant to all the soviet hold dear, would not
he generally considered a convincing proponent
of Kuian culture.
Recall Mansfield as Ivan the Terrible, and
wonder what U attractive about Boris or Cath
erine, beyond the atmosphere of tragedy that
surrounds the crar in all his doings. But in this
play now going on, Catherine is the young and
attractive ruler over a mighty but undeveloped
empire, spending her lime in philandering with
a lover she finally flouM; a parallel to Mary
Stuart, perhaps: for they were sisters in more
than the mere accident of sex.
We would rather think of the Catherine who
induced John Paul Jones to assume command of
her fleet on the Black Sea, and later treated him
rather shabbily, because he sought to exercise the
command she clothed him with, disdaining to
loiter around a throne where lesser men were
melting in the flame. Catherine had many mo
ments of greatness, and perhaps moments of
tenderness, but her name is more frequently re
called in connection with petty actions than in
the doing of great deeds.
Expiation as Well as Restitution.
Of late the custom of approaching the parole
board with a plea that restitution has been made
t-nd therefore clemency should be extended is
commonly noted. How far the board has been
swayed in its conclusions by such specious plead
ing is not divulged, but in common justice such
an excuse should have no weight at all. A thief
should not be exculpated merely because he has,
when caught, restored his loot to his victim.
The outrage on justice inflicted by theft, or
crime of any kind, calls for expiation.- A sen
tence properly administered by a court is both
punitive and exemplary in its nature, and only
when these elements are correctly balanced and
justly executed is the purpose of the law fulfilled.
Such a course does not shut out clemency. The
pardoning power is not in any wise restricted,
and may be exercised with the utmost freedom,
however, the Nebraska law, which is decidedly
humane, in all its aspects, requires that at least
one year must elapse before parole or pardon
can be asked.
One change that might be suggested in con
nection with the statute, which would do away
with the practice referred to, would be to add
restitution to expiation, and require that the
culprit restore the property stolen or damaged,
either in cash or kind. Reparation might be
a more effective deterrent than punishment. If,
for example, the misguided youth who takes an
automobile and wrecks it knew beforehand that
if caught and convicted, he would have to make
good all damage, it is probable he would think
harder than he does when confronted only by
the possible prison term, from which he can gain
release in a comparatively short time. This reg
ulation easily could be extended to include
burglary, arson, theft of any kind, and might
add to the law something of terror now lacking.

A Path to Real Americanism.
What person who witnessed the grand rally
of Boy Scouts in the Municipal Auditorium Fri
day night would not strike his breast in wonder
and meditate for a moment on a new idea of
Americanism as demonstrated by those blue
blooded youngsters?
What an impressive lesson in true American
ism those boys gave their elders who watched
them from the gallery above. It wasn't every
loyal scout who attended who had on full uni
form of khaki some were there in their school
clothes but they all were in step and snapped
into every order with the precision of a soldier.
To see 800 boys, all engaged in various drills
that make up the scout manual, was a spectacle,
to say the least. There was Jimmie, who demon
strated the skill of starting a fire by friction;
Johnnie, who knew first aid work almost as well
as an M. D. just out of college; Willie, who
could scale a wall like a fox, and Rastus, who
showed up many of his white brothers in little
tricks of scout work.
Truly, the slogan of a scout, "Be Prepared,"
was demonstrated in that rally. Those lads
showed how to be always on the alert and how 1
to do a good turn every day. They taught a
wonderful lesson how to be "physically strong,
mentally awake and morally straight" that is
certain to make their Americanism as unadulter
ated when they become citizens as the Declara
tion of Independence.
What man who saw his son on the floor of
the Auditorium that night did not look back over
his harum-scarum boyhood days. and envy the
younger generation for the modern method of
play under proper guidance and good environ

no beds to knock down and set up, no dishes to
park. All featun's built-in. and when he arrives
at his new anchorage he is all settled ready to go
right to housekeeping.

TODAY'S IDLE THOUGHT.
When a girl jilts a man and returns his dia
mond ring and $147.50 worth of presents, it is
hardfor him toreal'z: that he has loved and lost.
Spending one's time writing poems that are
subsequently rejected by undiscriminating pub
lishers may be said to put the pen in penury.
Describing a man as a hard-headed business
r.ian might merely mean solid ivory.
And calling a man "level-headed" might not
always be construed as a phrase of appreciation.
Everyone knows that level means something flat.

Of course I do not accept the

There have always been fasting

Valley Enterprise: The law which
prohibited the use of state funds for
paved roads on leased railroad
rights-of-way has just been repealed.
Now the -time is ripe to turn the
Lincoln highway back along the
Union Pacific railroad where it
properly belongs. It is the natural
roadbed, it is much shorter and
much safer, w-ith practically no Im
portant crossroads. v
Howells Journal: The good roads
movement is to go on regardless of
the mistakes made by federal, state
and local authorities. A good be
ginning has been made and broad
minded people will look upon the
errors that have crept into the sys
tem of management with a good
deal of tolerance.
Kearney Hub: It is very fortu
nate for the state that the present
reactionaries have not succeeded in
breaking down the road ' building
program In Nebraska for the com
ing year and that there will not be
a disruption of the partnership with
the federal government in highway
construction. Expensi.e though
this highway improvement may be,
we cannot afford to call a halt until
Nebraska highways are as good as
are to be found in any state of the
union.
