Hurr, Vice Prea-Idt-nt. T1IH CLEAR! VC MISTS. Through the tnlfts of partisan mis--representation, of Ignorance and of unwillingness to learn, Ihe truth about the league of nations Is begin ning to be known. The truth Is. too many of us are mentally laiy. It is easier to allow someone else to do our thinking for us. Someone Roes off half-cocked, or tells a fcalf-truth o convincingly that we accept his tatement at face value, adopt his argument as our own, and havlnR once taken a stand, uphold It for all that Is in us. So It has been with the league of nations. Up until the time that he left for Paris, President Wilson was the most popular man In America. On the continent, he became the pop ular Idol. It boded ill for republican success to permit this impression to remain. Partisan opposition devel oped, bigoted, narrow, unreasoning, Partisan opposition proposed to male the dream of President Wilson remain a dream. Doubtless it was unwise of him to uphold ratification of the covenant "without dotting an V or crossing a 'V ", but he had been under a tremendous strain for months, and like the artist who, at the end of months of labor, finishes a masterpiece, he resented the touch of clumsy hands and he was justifi ably Jealous of clever hands. He knew what clever enemies could do to discredit him. , Followed then months of bitter campaign against the league of na tlons. From the outset It Has been characterized by misrepresentation Its enemies have enlisted not only partisan prejudice, but havo deluded those who should be its friends. An" this was easier than one would think possible. The document has not had large circulation, and even if a copy of it were placed In the hands of very citizen, It wouldn't be widely read. It isn't easy reading. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thousand will lay it aside and turn to something that's easier. Pretty soon their eye catches a newspaper head line: "England Has Six Votes to Our One," or perhaps they heard Major Teddy Roosevelt, Jr., tell mothers their Bona might bo sent to Ireland Both of theBo are untrue or, at the beet, half-truths, but the damage has been done. The voter has seen or heard enough he makes no effort to find out the truth. Some, elm, couldn't understand the document If they read It a hundred time. 13vt the majority have made no real ef fort to understand it. They will tell you that the United States isn't Interested In the quarrels of the world. But "no man Kvefh to hiriF.elf and no man die'h to him self." No nation can live alonv No nation is self-sufficient. The United S'ates standi to gain more from the abolishment of war than any other nation rn the face of the globe, and yt, comiug alter one o the laost dlsaotrous wars in his ory, the first really conetructive attempt to end war is met with opposition in this country of all places. Doubtless the league isn't perfect. Doubtless changes may be made from time to time, as the trial of trie plan demonstrates their necessity. But nine-tenths of the reservations propesed are political poppycock, and the other tenth aren't important. Whichever party wins, there will doubtless be a league. Should the republicans win, and suddenly see the light and put through practically the 6anie league as they are row op posing, future generations will have bitter things to Bay of the men who, for political advantage, dared to piny with a matter o( such amazing Importance. corps of highly paid and poorly trained booze hounds. It Is a matter of common knowledge that these booze hounds spent money like water, but got mighty few convic tions. It would be Interesting to see report from Gus Hyers' depart ment, and discover exactly how miMi each conviction secured cost the state. It would be still more Inter esting If these figures were compar ed with those of various counties, where arrests of bootleggers are con stantly being made. It Is noteworthy that whenever Gus Hyers' depart ment is under discussion somebody begins to talk about recoveilng stolen automobiles and prating of the marvelous record made by the J' pnrtiv.ent In this regard. Morehead, on the other hand, pro poses to have the regular law en forcement officers in each county and city do most of tho enforcing of the prohibition law. There are objections to this. They say that local officers are corruptible. On the other hand, they are under the immediate control of the voters. They can be removed. Nobody can remove the state booze hounds but the governor and you will recall that when the story of Phil Dross and the keg came to light, the white-wash brush was wielded vigorously, but no removals were made. There is no guarantee that the state agents are Incorrupt ible. Certainly they are expensive. Morehead has wet friends. So has McKelvle. (Kemember the time they arrested Drew at Omaha, and the governor got real excited about it. Sid got his booze back, which showed that the governor of this great state was not a man to be trifled with.) So, we suspect, have most of the rest of us a few friends who are damp, to say the least The Herald would support no man for governor whom we do not believe will stand for law enforcement. We think Morehead's past performances fully as good in this regard as McKelvie's, and we would sooner place confidence In his word than in that of the man who crammed a code bill down the unwill ing throat of all Nebraska.

Warren Kerrigan, a popular wreen star, Is the attraction at the Imperial theater tonight, In "L;ve Sparks." The tale concerns a wild young millionaire who is never at ease unless he is in a scrape of some kind. He attends rn illegal prize fight, gets himself engaged to two beautiful girls at the same time; foils a pair of crooks who plan to rob Mm of valuable oil lands; and breaks up his own engagement party with the announcement that he is the father of five children. He Is finally taken in hand and tempered by the right girl. A double bill is scheduled for Wednesday, when Crist & Costa pre sent their genuine Portuguese Hawailans. Princess Helena, a beau tiful and graceful hula hula dancer. Is perhaps the chief attraction. She'll dance as this dance, so the press agent's dope says, In the correct Hawaiian manner. Then comes the disappointing announcement that the hult hula was originally a part of the Hawaiian religious ceremonies. "The Slim Princess," with Mable Normand, Is the other feature of the Wednesday bill. "The Land of the Fatted Calf." That what Alexander H. Pike, young American steel mag nate, called the kingdom of Moroven ia, where every girl weighed 200 pounds, generally more. The story of how Pike scaled the harem wall and saw the little Princess Kalofa, slender as a reed in the wind and pretty as a peach, and how he car ried her off to America under ibe eyes of the infuriated court, is to In the most excruciatingly funny photoplay in months.

Amply qualified (or the place, a gentle man of high Ideals and grejt worth, are the con siderations for the voters In Judge Martin's can didacy for Chief Justice." The names of candidates for this office will appear on separate ballot without party designation. Democrats and knowing repub licans will not take too seriously the pronouncement of F. A. High, super intendent of the anti-saloon league, that Moiehead is the only wet candi date. Neither will they recognize in the letter mailed out to all the women voters in the state, signed by a number of women, some of them from Falls City, anything but an at tempt to play politics. It costs money to mail out letters to all wom en In the state, and somebody is pay ing the bllL Prohibition Is an accomplished fact. It Is In effect by federal con stitutional amendment, and is in force In Nebraska as in all other states. In Nebraska, however, there Is an attempt to make the wet and dry issue the chief one of the guber natorial campaign. It will fall, not alone because neither candidate has clean skirts on the boose Question. but because neither McKelvle nor Morehead. by any action of theirs. could bring back the saloon, or even light winea or beer.
