CONGRESSMAN KINKAID EXPLAINS
Hon. M. P. Kinkaid, long time congrcsamftn from the Sixth Ne
braska district, is for peace when possible but is also patriotic and
wants the readers of The Herald to know it. He informs us that the
controlling consideration with him in voting against the war resolu
tion was the letters, telegrams and remonstrances sent him to the ef
fect that the sentiment of his constituents waa overwhelmingly
against a war declaration, and these advices included a resolution
passed by the house of representatives of the Nebraska state legisla
ture to the same effect. Mr. Kinkaid further says that as we are now
solemnly committed to war he deems it his official and patriotic duty
to stand firmly and earnestly for it speedy and successful termination.
COMMENDS "SAFETY FIRST" EDITORIAL
In the issue of The Herald of April 5 was an editorial under the
caption, "Making An Ounce Count," showing the importance of us
ing care in trying to avoid accidents. A constant reader of the pa
per sends us the following regarding the editorial:
Getting Caught on a Crossing
"I have read your editorial about automobile accidents at cross
ings, and find much in same that I can agree with.
"It is going to take some hard work to break up the careless hab
its that so many indulge in. The trouble is that this is such a money
making age that people go along pondering in their minds the best
way to make another dollar.
"Some folks are so eager for more dollars that they cannot quit
thinking about them as they drive up to the railroad crossing. They
should figure a little more on saving the money and property they
already possess. Why would this help? Because any plan to safe
guard their property would have to include some scheme for saving
those good motor cars that are thrown onto the rubbish heap when
struck by a train at the crossing.
"Trying to save your money and your property is all very well,
but watching out to save your life is a thousand times better. We
have heard of more than one person in our own time who, having lost
every cent he owned, has made a fresh start and amassed more wealth
than he formerly possessed. While there is life, there is hope. When
life is gone, you might have a job playing on a harp, but that chance
maybe is a slim one unless you are more of a musical genius than
Yours truly."

On looking over the record of this session we find that it is h new (copy was delivered; if made by rec-
record for constructive legislation. Laws were patted which-are pro

The 1917 legislature enacted an effective prohibition law. It
enacted laws for state hail insurance, limited woman suffrage, com.
A RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT
When the member! of the Nebraska legislature returned to their
homet early this week, following the close of the biennial session,
they had the right to feel that they had had the privilege of taking
part in the most important session in the history of the state. Some
Nebraska newspapers have taken it upon themselves to say that the
sending of members to Lincoln has been a waste of the people's mon
ey and of the time of (hose who attended, We do not agree with
them.
The session just closed lasted nearly four months, being the sec
ond longest in the history of the state, and covering eighty-four days
of actual work.
It is admitted that the passage of progressive legislation through
the state senate was delayed for days anil weeks by the hold which
the unholy "machine" had on that body. And it is undoubtedly
true that the eighteen senators, members of both parties, who com
posed the machine held back the passage of jy ogressive bills which
should have been passed.
The breaking of the hold of the "machine" came with the fight
over the prohibition bill. This bill had come from the house of rep
resentatives with practically a unanimous vote for it. When it
reached the senate it was attacked by the "machine" and one hun
dred amendments were taeked on the bill. Did the eighteen senators
who voted for these amendments expect the house to accept them? We
do not know. But the house, knowing that it bail the support of the
people of Nebraska back of it, stood pat and refused to Accept thole
amendments which would have destroyed the purpose of the bill and
made it a protection for the bootlegger and the manufacturer of
"near beer."
Public sentiment became so strong that the hold of the leaders
on their "machine" was lost. When it came to the final showdown
the bill was passed through the senate as it was approved by the
house - the "machine", leaders and all, jumped into the bandwagon
and voted for it, only three senators refusing to vote for the bill on
final passage. Then, the hold of the leaders having been broken, pro
gressivc legislation was rapidlv pushed through the woman's suff-
