APPllEt iation
nioii rjotnroiL
At the recent special session of the
State legislature, called as a war ses
sion, a sedition law was passed which
placed In the hands of the state coun
cil of defense a weapon against the
enemies of our country, which they
sorely neede.d While the sedition
bill gives the party against whom
complaint Is Died all the rights of any
-citizen in the courts, it also deflneB
sedition and clearly outlines the work
of the state council.
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 Bervlce 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
inlluences which would Interfere
with its efforts to make a full
contribution to the nation in
he hour of its great needs is
highly valued and appreciated by
the several member! of the coun
cil. You may feel confident that
the spirt of patient 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 Btate 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,

TX) Jl'lMiMEXT"
Edgar Howard, editor of the Col
umbus Telegram, Nebraska's lieuten
ant governor and candidate for the
the Democratic nomination for United
States senator, has a big heart and a
keen mind. Recently while Governor
Neville was on a trip out of the state
and Edgar, as he is familiiOMy known
to the newspaper boys and many
others over the state, was acting gov
ernor, an incident came up that
shows a spirit of charity and Justice,
as well aB a knowledge of the bad
neBB that exists in many men, espe
cially when they are actuated by
greed.
The following article, taken from
the York Democrat of May 1, tells of
the incident:
"Recently a Washington county
farmer named Muloskee went to Kan
aas City to visit a dear friend who
was lying sick in a hospital in that
city. After visiting with the friend
and while waiting for a belated train
to bring him back to the peaceful
in a Washington county bank.
"Muloskee spent ull 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 Btopped payment on
it, not remembering anything about
it, but let the little 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 wbb
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 paperB 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 all the circum
stances in this case.
" 'Muloskee la charged with a
crime against the law of Missouri,
the crime of uttering a false check.
The records show that 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 through fraud.
A careful reading of the Missouri
statutes does not BOO t thr.t a crime
has been committed uncr the law of
that state. Mo.vover, it seems to me
that I should ti ke bo.h Judicial and
executive notice of the RttO idlnrr cir
cumstances. I believe every man 1b
charged by the ethics of good men to
pay for his liquor, as 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 keep 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
stances in this case as to make the
Muloskee ease appear in the garb of
familiarity. On the whole, I rather
believe it would be wicked to send
Muloskee back to Missouri. He is op
erating a farm of three hundred acres
in Washington county. Nebraska,
mostly devoted to wheat. The gov
ernment has admonished us to grow
all the wheat we possibly can. Mu
loskee shall not go back to Missouri.
The requisition is denied.' "
