The editor of The Herald has re ceived the following letter from the state council of defense: "Lincoln, Nebr., May 2. 1918. Hon. Lloyd C. Thomas, Alliance Nebr. Dear Mr. Thomas: The State Council of Defense expresses its great appreciation of the splendid service the loyal and patriotic members of the legislature have rendered the state and nation by helping en act a law which we know will prove useful In suppressing se ditious and disloyal behavior in Nebraska. The experience of the council has shown the absolute necessity of having such a law passed. The loyal support by the legislature of the council's policies and evident desire to uphold its endeavors so that Nebraska may be enabled to free Itself from those pernicious influences which would interfere with its efforts to make a full contribution to the nation In the hour of its great needs is highly valued and appreciated by the several mem Iters of the coun cil. You may feel confident that the spirt or palient tolerance which has characterized the pol icy of the council in the past will govern its activities in the future and it shall be our sincere pur pose to co-operate with those of ficials having the enforcement of the law in charge to the end that it shall not be employed to Im pose injustice or hardship upon Innocent men. We assure you and the people o fthe state that the council's ef forts and work will be governed by the supreme desire and deter mination that Nebraska give its full measure of support to en able America to win this war. Sincerely yours, C. A. McCloud Dr. E. 0, Weber T. P. Reynolds Herbert E. Gooch George Coupland Richard L Metcalfe Keith Neville, Governor Sarko Hebkova George O. Brophy George E Johnson H. E. Clapp, Adjutant General -Robert M. Joyce, Chairman." in a Washington county bank. "Muloskee spent all his cash, then wrote two or three small checks. When he got home, after a delay of several days, his wife noted that a stub in his check book was made out In an unfamiliar hand, and that the stub showed a check for $75. She spoke to her husband about it and he went over to his bank and found the check there. He stopped payment on it, not remembering anything about It, but let the .lit tie checks go thru. Whereupon the saloonkeeper of Kan sas City sought to have Muloskee brought back to Missouri on the charge of having uttered a false check. A requisition for the return of Muloskee to Missouri was submit ted to Acting Governor Howard last Tuesday afternoon, and a hearing was had. After listening to all the facts of the case, Acting Governor Howard rendered Judgment. We insist that it deserves a place alongside many state papers that will be remembered while the republic endures. It shows human sympathy, keen Insight into the wiles of the wily and a knowledge of men and things that well become a public official. The judgment fol lows: " 'An unhealthy atmosphere ap pears to be enveloping till the circum stances In this case. " 'Muloskee is charged with a crime aga'.nsi tho law of Missouri, the crime of uttering a false check. The records show thai the check was protested at the Florence bank for reason that payment was stopped by the drawer of the check, and not be cause of lack of funds. It was a good check, but Muloskee believed he had been Induced to sign it thrcuh fraud. A careful reading of the Missouri statutes does not rhov thrt a crime has been committed under the law of that state. Moreover. It seems to me that I should trke boh judicial and executive notice of the r.ttcodlnfj cir cumstances. I believe every man is chiirged by the ethics of good men to pay for his liquor, us well as for his groceries But the circumstances must be taken into consideration. Mu loskee swears he had plenty of loose money in his clothes, and he remem bers spending it rather freely in the early hours of his visit to the Kansas City saloon. He even remembers that when his money ran out he cash ed a little check or two to koep things going, although he insists he did not get value received. He now swears that he has' no recollection of drawing the big check, which was written by the saloon keeper. In fact he doesn't remember anything about anything for four days following his experi ence In the saloon. During my ca reer as a newspaper reporter I came in contact with so many circum stances on a par with the circum- make the race.
