The Kansas "strike cure," ac Gov'
rnor Allen's court of industrial re
lations has been called, is really a
far-reaching enactment. It has been
call by William Allen White the
greatest piece of constructive legis
lation of the constructive period.
The law Is considerably more strin
gent than any piece of labor legisla
tion that has ever been presented to
congress. If the courts hold it valid,
organized labor has lost what it con
elders it chief weapon. In brief, the
law establishes an Industrial court of
three judges appointed by the gov
ernor fo rthrce years with annual
salaries of $5,000. The court has
supervision over the manufacture
and preparation of food products in
all stages of the process, of the man
ufacture of clothing and all wear
ing apparel, of all mining and fuel
production, and of the transporta
tion of necessities. Suspension of
operation In such manufacture or
transportation is illegal. In case of
a labor controversy in these in9dus
tries threatening to endanger the
continuity or efficiency of service,
the court may begin an investiga
fion. The court may amend or
change any employment contract. If
either or both parties to a contro
versy refuse to obey the court's or
dors, the state may take over the in
dustries in question and operate
them. Labor unions may Incorpor
ate, but are not compelled to. Col
lective bargaining is recognized, but
the right to "picket" or to disturb
workers Is denied. No employe may
be discharged for appearing brfui
the court either to complain or t
testify. Striking In violation of tb
law Is punishable by a $5 Of- One or
six months in Jail or both. To ord
call or foment a strike is a fttony
punishable by five years in the pen
itentlary or a fine or $1,000, or both
The new law became effective Jnu
ary 24, and If the proposed roll strike
la called, will be tested at an early
date.
The press of the country has been
most severe upon the Clown Quince
of Germany and his offer to become
a sacrifice fo rhls country. Not
single newspaper takes him serious
ly. Several comment on the "grand!
ose" message to the president as an
attempt to get back on the front
page, and others go farther and see
in it a deep laid political plot to
make Germany fall in love with the
Hohenzollerns all over again. The
Quince has written his cablegram in
what appears on the surface to be a
spirit of high resolve, as the eiocu
tion textbooks would say. Maybe the
ex-prince has one of these in front
of him and is already practicing the
gestures that go with such a pose,
If so, he is wasting his time. A
busy world has little time for mullet-
heads, or any other species of ined
ible fish.
Toor Omaha! The metropolis
after having been afflicted with Gus
Hyers for some months, Is to have a
band of federal agents sent there to
clean up. It's getting so a city simp
ly can't be wicked, even If it wants
to. Do you remember those palmy
days when Jim Dahlman was talking
about holding a barbecue on the
state house lawn? Well, them days
ain't no more now.

postal committee of the American
newspaper publishers' association, la
urging a return to pre-war secon
clans mall rates. Since July 1, 1918
Mr. Ilosewater say, over twenty-Are
hundred newspapers In the United
States have suspended publication
Sometimes we are Inclined to laugh
at the apparently well meant efforts
of the representatives of our profes
sion. The postage gouge is annoy
ing, it's true, but not heavy enough
to harm any live country newspaper,
It's the print paper profiteers who
are killing the country newspaper
and while postage rates may drive
a nail or two in the casket, they are
really a protection to the small pub
usher. If it weren't for the high
rates, daily newspapers would be
even more bulky than they are, tak
ing more advertising patronage from
the small newspaper and increasing
a shortage of print paper that is the
most serious problem facing us to
day
The Herald Is gratified at the re
sponse which its recent raise in ratse
has met. We have not found a single
subscriber who objects to the In
crease; in fact, many of them said
that conditions would justify an even
greater advance. When prices and
quality of reading matter are com
pared, Herald readers will find they
are getting better value for their
money than any other class of
buyers.
uovcrnor McKeivie will find, as
the campaign progresses, that. It Is
not easy to evade responsibility, and
that merely going out of the state
and leaving someone else In charge
whenever there is a difficult problem
to be solved may serve for the time
being, but that voters will be likely
to ask embarrassing questions. The
state bar association, which has been
investigating the Berly Kirk fur
lough, has finally brought in a
minority report which gives a volum
inous finding of facts, and absolves
everybody, particularly the members
of the bar. All this was to have been
expected, and could have been fore
casted, almost to the phraseology of
the report. Were it not for the
minority report, brought in by Ber-.
nard McNerny, the whole thing could
have ' been dismissed with another
laugh. But Bernard sees a political
opportunity it may be that he
would not have seen it had not
McKeivie filed for re-election and
n no unmistakeable terms, and with
line logic, he lays the blame where-
t belongs, on the shoulders of the
governor himself. It's a strong case
hat he makes out, and one that will
be thrown up to McKeivie a number
of times during the coming campaign.
Acting Governor Pell Barrows is
i fine example of a newspaper man
gone wrong. Tell has had an op
portunity to know the inside facts
of the Cole and Grain mer cases, and
iepite the fact that ho is quoted as
aying that nothing has come from
tlm which could be taken as a word
f encouragement, he is flirting with
he idea of holding a hearing. Under
he law, as acting governor he would
ave the right to grant reprieves,
ommutations and pardons, after
onvictlon, for all offenses except
reason and cases of impeachment.
We would have judged Pell too old.
nd wise a bird to be caught this
ay, but you never can tell.
TIIREB
The decision arrived at last week
ly Earl Mallery of Alliance that he
vould be a district delegate will meet
jvith the hearty approval of the peo-
)le of the North Platte valley. Earl
s a good scout, and if he la willing
be tied by the rank and file as to.
who he will vote for at the conven-
ion, he la the right man to send. If
lis bands are tied It will be only for
ho first ballot, as it is a foregone
onclusion that Wood, Pershing, or
Tohnson will last longer than that
f they get that far in the convention.
Scottsbluff Republican.
Democrats in congress have gone
n record aa opposed to legislation
providing for compulsory military
nilitary training. Despite the action
of American Legion leaders to the
ontrary, we believe that position
will make votes for the party. The
rank and file won't wish or vote mil
itary training on anyone. In an
other emergency, they'd respond
promptly, but it takes more than
one orator to make an emergency.
SOME 1020 STYLES .
Brows are again coming Into
vogue. As formerly, they may be
worn either high or law. Both are
good form, although a tendency Is
noted toward the loose-fitting and
more comfortable low brow for all-
around service. On the other hand,
nothing is more appropriate for
semi-formal and public functions
than a snug-fitting high brow.
Blood continues to be thicker
than water. This season the most
popular shades are red and blue. A
mixture of the two sometimes pro
duces novel effects.
Streaks run largely to yellow.
Many new and fetching designs are
to be seen In the political shops.
Upper lips will be worn somewhat
stiller than formerly. These are
preferred to the old-fashioned curl
ing variety once popular with scorn
ful statesmen.
Ears will be worn closer to the
ground.
Campaign promises will be about
as binding as usual. Life.
