The nublie attitude toward law cn-
forcement. he sad, depends to a Rreat
xtent on the attitude of law-enforcing:
officials. Iroper rejrard for law
follow proper enforcement.
Prohibition Enforcement.
The state bureau of law enforcement
-a established in 1017. the governor .
aM. and despite the fact that friends
fca.l Kni.l It U'niild vnln him unlit irnltv. ,
re had selected Gus Hyers ns its head.
"I told them I'd lose nothing but the
Mipport of the bootleucers," he said,
"and I don't court that kind of sup
port." Governor McKelvie paid Mr.
llyers a hi'vrh compliment, and said
thM he had been successful all over
the state. PourIhh county presented
at difficult problem, but even in that
county coalitions are much better
thnn ever w Tore.
The boot'eerer is the moct despic
able of criminals, Mr. McKelvie de
clared, largely because of the deadly
cmality of the stuff he peddles. He fs
incidentally the hardest to catch.
There Is freat difficulty in securing
conviction. The evidence mut be com
plete. It is futile to arrest on a mere
thread of evidence. If local officers
do not do their duty, he said, the state
will make them, or else remove them.
Two have already leen removed, but
others have been called on the carpet.
The state bureau also has original
jurisdiction in the matter of automo
bile thefts. Nebraska leads in appre
hending automobile thieves, he Ruid,
nd other ttates and police depart'
ments of larpe cities have asked for
details of the Nebraska system. The
bureau does not claim to have automo
bile thieving under control, the gover
nor said, but it is making headway in
reducing this class of thefts.
The bureau also assists in the col
lection of registration thieves. It is
estimated that a quarter of a million
dollars in fees has been lost to the
state because county officials have
been negligent in collecting them.
This money comes right out of the
road funds, and every motorist 'Is the
lover because of the negligence of local
officials.
The old style automobile lenses
have been the cause of the loss of
many lives, the governor said, but the
new law, which will be htrictly en
forced, will be a blessing lo those who
use the higHways. He also spoke of
the new bureau of criminal iderunca
tion and the good results that were
expected from it. It not only makes
it easier to apprehend criminals, he
said, but the criminal element will
ttay away from a state where it is
in use.
Governor McKelvie said he had been
cominar to Alliance about once a year
for twenty years, and that each time
, he came he say an improvement. He
I congratulated the city on the adoption
' of the city manager plan, which, he
.... . . ft A A 1 J A f

ciples of good government."
Wheeler Urges Co-operation.
Deputy Attorney General Wheeler
then introduced. He told the of
ficers present that the best laws are
useless unless they are enforced, and
that there cannot be enforcement with
out co-operation between sheriff, coun
ty attorney and attorney general. The
chain is no stronger than its weakest
link, and if any of these fails in his
duty the chain is broken. The sheriffs,
he urged, should counsel with their
county fct'orneys to know jut what
kind of evidence to secure to guarantee
conviction.
Mr. Wheeler explained the npw hend
light law and listed the amendments to
the orig'nal prohibition enforcement

I rullic Support Needed.
Sheriff Ouinton of riattsmouth, :ec
reti;ry of the state sheriff's assoeiaii m,
was called on for a few remark, lie
brought out the point that public cc
operation is needed. "It is up to not
only the officers, but to every i..cd
citizen of Nebraska," he said. ."The
stuff the bootleggers are selling now
isn't boo?.e we might forgive th in if
were but it makes the boys who drink
it crazy, nor drunk. Men won't drink it.
The loys who drirk this stuff n -ver
tasted whisky." He told of the fe-ti fill
conditions under which the home i'i
tiller works, and of finding home Mills
covered inside and out with greca
mold.
Frederick A. Ct 'tes of Chadron told
of-the trials of the county lttorneys.
The public, he said, is not favorable
to a fctrict enforcement of the law.
The average man not only considers it
no crime to drink, but refuses to in-

not too hard on these. He, too, be
lieved public sentiment essential to
successful prosecution. '
County Attorney Haye of Alliance
thought the chief difficulty was the'
la public co-operation, ine cw. i
citizen will refuse to go on the stand,
even When
without his evidence the
case is due to fail. He complimented
Judge Tash, who hands out heavy sen
tences and does his bit to discourage
criminals. Mr. Ilasye told of a booze
car that left Chadron and came to
Alliance, and while the sheriff was
searching for the car, a business man
told the fellows to get out of town
before thev were caught. He, too,
favored the idea of state detestives.
The Fingerprint Bureau.
Hans J. Nielsen, head of the new
state department of criminal identifi
cation, spoke of the. work of his bu
reau. He asked the co-operation or
city ami county officers in getting
records of criminals and suspicious
persons. The use of the system js
spreading, he said, until it is only a
matter of time utu every state and
city of any consequence has a finger
print bureau. "Then the day will
come," he said, "when we will have a
national bureau of identification not
criminal." The big corporations have
adopted the system for their employes,
and the army and navy used it during
the big war. It is just as easy, he
said, to locate one man among live or
ten million as it is among five hundred.
Over forty thousand unidentified
bodies were buried in the United
States last year.
There is at present a great crime
wave in the country, and criminals are
afraid of the fingerprint system of
identification, v He explained the sys
tem and the way in which it is planned
to build up the state bureau.
Following the afternoon meeting at
the court house, the delegates were
entertained at the Alliance country
club. - At fi o'clock a dinner was given
in honor of the state officers, at which
several of them gave brief talks

A BIG FACTOR
Advertising is the most Import
ant, factor in modern business, Dr.
John J. Tigert, United States com
missioner of eduction, declared in
an address before the Des Moire,
(la.) Advertising club the other
day. Important as are the factors
of labor, raw material, production,
marketing and organization, none
of Ihese, he said, are as significant
today as advertising.
"Advertising is the selling
through publicity," Dr. TiRert said.
"These include, of course, creating
a vogue, stimulating good will and
maintaining custom. In 1911 a sum
mary was made of the relative
amounts of money e:;pended in dif
ferent media of advertising. At that
time the total amount spent for ad
vertising in this country was $00,
000,000. Since that lime the amount
expended has increased by leHps
and bounds. The amount expended
todav for advertising would quite
eusil'y go over $2,000,000,000.
"In 1911, the newspaper was the
greatest medium of advertising and
it still stands as such. It is the
only medium that can be used for
immediate effect. The magazine,
however, has its advantages.
"Advertising and salesmanship
are carried on most effectively. The
two are planned in conjunction, and
yet advertising is the more import
ant factor of the two."

City Manager's Corner
(By N. A. KEMMISH) ..
The water situation is not as good
as we wuid like to nave it. i he new
Kelly well is down and it may be Fri
day before it will be in operation
again . The men working on it came
nearly getting it going Sunday when
the pistons stuck solid necessitating
seceral days of work to pull the pump
out before it can be in operation aain.
We were in hopes of getting this large
well going as we need th water ii can
upply. As soon as it was appMcr.t,
however, that the new veil wUid be
down for several days the 'well equip
ment was moved to numoer three well
and it will be in opera io-i onetime
this evening. We are a ittla mindful
that we might have somo trouble with
the motor on this well but we hopu it
will work out alright. Through the
courtesy of Mr. Irwin, the Duriington
railway has been helpmcr us pump
water rgain since 1 tst Saturday and
will do so until we get number five in
operation again. Even though this new
well proves out satisf ici.iry, we have
reached the point in our water con
sumpii.n where we are going to need
another new well by next sa.-on.
The streets are getting so dry that
we will h;r e to discontinue the grad
ing until after we have a 'ain as the
d tt is packed hrtrd dtt l rolls up tn

good road under these coiintticii.-'
Last week we loaned the county
treasurer about $6,500 so that he could
nav the interest on the various ond
issues falling due July 1. This flakes

Babe's Body Found
in Drainage Ditch at
Bayard Wednesday
A gruesome discovery that has occa
sioned no little comment was made in
Bayard Wednesday afternoon when the
body of a male child apparently about
12 hours old, was taken from the wa
ter of the drainage ditch on the main
road to the sugar factory, says the
Farmers' Exchange.
I Chief of Police Webb was notified to
take charge bf the body which was
found by several small boys who were
wading in the ditch. The body was le
moved by J. It. Dailey to Burke &
Harpole's undertaking parlors and
prepared for burial.
I The baby is believed to have been
thrown into the ditch at some point
above town, from which point it float
ed down blow the bridge where it
was found by the boys in wading, who
at first though it was a doll. A care
ful examination of the body revealed
no marks of violence and it is thought
that the baby died a natural death
shortly after birth as it was well
formed and fully developed. The phys
ical appearance of the child made the
determination of its nationality diff
icult, although its skin is white.
City and county authorities are mak
ing investigations but up to the pres
ent time no lisrht has been thrown on
