THE PAROI.K QUKST10N Governor McKelvie has wisely tak en time by the forelock anil bn scored a point or two by carrying the battle to his adversaries. The recent release of a number of paroled col ored priNonera has utirred up a storm f criticism from all parts of the state, but chiefly in Omaha, where crime is more or less rampant all of the time. It was-erhaps unfortu nate that the list, as given to the newspapers, should have included the name of the notorious Ben Marshall, but after the metropolitan dailies had let out the first Rasp, Mr. McKelvie and the pardon board at once an nounced that he was not eligible to parole, and the governor was saved considerable condemnation thereby. But the Omaha newspapers are not tatisfied. They know the records of some of the men released, and frank ly admit that they are not pleased at the prospect of again having them at liberty. The Omaha Daily News was the most bitter in its denuncia tion, and the governor promptly sus pended diplomatic relations with that newspaper, in a letter which, he im mediately made public. Furthermore, copy of the letter has been mailed to every newspaper in the state, just to give the editors an idea of how awful the vengeance of a McKelvie can be. The governor takes the stand that rot he, but the Omaha News is to blame in the matter, and very neatly dodged the question by not referring to the matter of the paroles at all, but jumping on the editor of The News for his "manifestly unfair and dangerous practices of journalism." It's a mean letter, and must have hurt the feelings of the editor somethiing awful, unless he's fully as thick skinned as the governor Intimates lie is. The troublo arose when Governor McKelvie first gave the list to the newspapers. The Omaha Daily News got hold of the governor by long dis tance telephone, and interviewed him. The governor was unwilling, but nev ertheless talked, and The News re porter took it all down. Later his secretary called Up the News, office, and demanded that the interview be not published. The News resented the attempt on the part of the gov ernor to censor its columns, and after giving him the opportunity to correct or change any statements he had made, printed it. Then Governor McKelvie got out the letter. After advising the editor of The News that he disavows all in terviews that had been published, ho announces that, "until further notice, all representatives who Keek informa tion for publication in the columns of the Omaha Daily News are denied the privileges of my office." The letter continues: "Not only have you garble ! the word and distorted the facts in the interviews that I have given you, but you have led your readers to believe that the law governing paroles has not been legally administered, when, in fact, it has been administered with such scrupulous care that tlw percent age of grants and violations of pa role under the present admini;tiT.tir.n is the smallest in the histot-y of the state. "Moreover, you have wrought the minds of certain people into a fren xy by your sensational methods, i'nd have thereby created a condition that is highly prejudicial to the public welfare. It is generally admitted that Joiaha paid the price for cne such i Tiholy campaign at the hands of the yellow riess, if it is at all possible to do so. "This clo? the incident so far as I am concerned urd I trust you will bear in mind that so long as I am Hie duly elected governor of Nebraska I am going to run the job without fear or intimidation from such self-serving mediums as yours." Governor McKelvie evidently does ' not realize that newspapers and ofTi-j cials in every county in the state from which prisoners were paroled are ; censoring him. The fact that he brands the Omaha Daily News as "yellow" and thereby intimates that I every other newspaper which takes the same stand is sensational won t help to make matters any better. Courts and lawyers feel that the pa role system is being ubused, and they don't hesitate to say so. Consider the remarks of Judge Ilayard I'aine of Grand Island, who, in sentencing a negro to the penitential y for lar ceny last Tuesday, commented caus tically on the parole question. In im posing the sentence, Judge I'aine ex plained that in case of good behavior, the prisoner might apply for parole at the end of ten months. "And," he continued, "perhaps such a stp can he taken prior to that time by the present governor, who is some what peculiar in this respect." Governor McKelvie will do well to "take a tumble" to the facts. WELFARE ORDINANCE TO . BE SUBMITTED TO COUNCIL At the public welfare meeting held at the court house Tuesday evening, representatives from twelve different organizations in the city were pres ent, as well as a number of other citizens interested in creating a wel fare department for Alliance. The committee which had drafted a pro posed ordinance presented it for dis cussion. It will be submitted to the organizations which have endorsed such a move. The meeting was adjourned until December 13, th enight before the next regular meeting of the council, at which time plans for presenting it to the city's legislative body will be made.

SIMPLICITY By HARRY E. VEDDER, D. C., Ph. C. Author and Professor of Chiropractic Physiology Chiropractic is simplicity itself. It is logical and it reasons direct from cause to effect, with no possibil ity of confustion and no time wasted on mysterious theories. Visit the offices of half a dozen Chiroprac tors, lay your case before them, ask what the cause of your sickness is and your answer will be the same whether it is in New York or San rancisco. .Not some times, but always. Make it a hundred Chiropractors, or a thousand, and your answer will always be the same. It isn't a matter of vague theory with them but a definite, established, proven fact. Call on your own Chiropractor, put the question to him and he will give you the most logical, and yet the most simple answer you have ever heard.

STOCK FEEDERS REVIEW THE FEEDING SITUATION Nebraska stock feeders in the an nual fall meeting, decided that it will cost about 11 cents a pound to pro duce beef at present feed prices. Com was figured at 60 cents a bushel and alfalfa at $10 a ton. A good many men are feeding this year in the hope of obtaining a little more for their com than they could by sellin;; it for cash. Some are turning cattle and hogs into the fields to avoid husking the corn and marketing it in the us ual way. The drop in grain prices and the tendency of the fat stock market to weaken are causing feed ers to proceed with caution this year. While the feeders did not sit any specific price they should have for their fat stock, because of the varying prices at which the stuff goes into the feed lot, as well as some varia tions in feed prices, under conditions existing to date the feeder that re ceives less than 12 cents for his fin ished product will not be making much money. The meeting brought out that stockmen are now carefully figuring the cost of fattening cattle and hogs. The day of the hit and miss business i j.otte among th; pro gressive feeders. NEBRASKA SECOND IN PUREBRED SIRES CAMPAIGN Nebraska stands second in the number of stock raisers using nothing but purebred sires. More than 300 farmers in this state have enlisted in the campaign to encourage breed ing of better stock. South Carolina follows close to Nebraska. The cam paign is being conducted co-operatively by the United States depart ment of agriculture, state colleges of agriculture and local farm bureaus, in an efort to improve the quality of live stock. When a farmer has re placed all his scrub sires with pure bred he applies to his local farm bureau for official recognition as a breeder of better stock. Wrhen his application is accepted he is awarded an emblem to post on his farm, ad vertising the fact that he is a pro gressive farmer. It is believed that in five years the campaign will result in a material improvement in the quality of the live stock produced in the United States.
