This sort of a proposed law is interest
ing; but largely bunk. The way to
combat monarchy is not to keep peo
ple in ignorance of it, but to use the
best argument at hand the success of
a democratic or republican form of
jrovemment to refute the claims of
he monarchists. There isn't any dan

The latest bugaboo that is worrying
congress is the spread of gambling.
Washington is gambling mad, some
congressmen charge, and point to the
fmmense number of people who bet on

paper wh'ch. violated the law would
lose its second class privileges, and
possibly the publisher would be fined
or imprisoned but it wouldn't stop
betting.
The laws regulating gambling will
probably never be changed to permit
it openly, but gambling will always
go on, in one form or another. The
man who takes a homestead gambles;
the man who goes into business gam
bles; the fellow who engages in a law
suit takes a gamble, and a big one,
too; the man or woman who marries
gambles; if they have children and at-
tempt to rear them properly, it's a
gamble whether they succeed. There
are thousands of examples of legiti- j
mute gambling, an.l the number 0f '
illegitimate chances taken are mighty

WOODKOl'GH ATTACKED
Following the last session of the
federal court at Chadron, there were
pome Alliance men who criticised the
attitude of United States District
Judge Woodrough, who presided, be
cause of his manner of handling caes
vt violators of the liquor laws. Most
cf these men, having a wholesome (
fear of being charged with contempt
of court, voiced their opinions only in
private. The general consensus if (
opinion was that Judge Woodrough '
looked too lightly on violations of this '
kind, and the least of the complaints
made was that his attitude was un-J
becoming a man charged with trying
eases of this nature.
F. A. High, superintendent of the
state anti-saloon league, is not at all (
afraid to criticise openly. In a letter
addressed to Attorney General Daugh-
e-rty at Washington, v. c, ne manes
the charge that the federal judge is
favorably to the wets, and submits
proof. His letter follows:
Some time ago information was fur
nished you to the effect that the atti
tude of Judge Woodrough of Omaha,
toward enforcement of the federal pro-
hibit.on law, was unfriendly.

WHY WORRY?
(Nebraska City Pre.js)
How much have you to worry
about? Isn't this a fact that most
of your worries are either imaginary
or entirely over-rated in your imagina
tion? The other day we were in a Ne
braska City business office waiting for
a interview with the proprietor. We
had just been kicking to an acquaint
ance about some inconsequential mat
ter, the exact purport of which, to be
truthful, we have now forgotten. But
it was a complaint of some sort and
oup remarks were being somewhat en
dorsed by the man to whom we were
talking.
The door opened and in came three
boys, laughing, chattering and pleased
over the anticipation of a treat at the
Mxla fountian. It was evident that
they were untouched, for the most part
by the goddess whom we call Dame
r ortune. I heir clothing was not tailor-
made by any means. They were clean
and neat and they were happy. They
evidently had no worries; if they had,
tliey were kept under cover. They
walked to the said fountain and sat
down on the stools. It was then we
noticed there was ?ome difference in
their manner, a groping with the
hands, a feeling for support which
could not be visualized. They were
totally blind.
Three blind boys, never again to see
the glories of the outdoor world, the
faces of lowing relatives or loyal
friends, and yet they were happy: and
we who have the full enjoyment of
God-given senses and who frequently
ubue them are complaining about
our "luck" or kicking because the
world is not better to us.
KU KLUX AND MASONRY.

American Legion Plans
to Solve Unemployment
Problems of Members
The task of caring for the 000,000
unemployed ex-service men of the
country will be taken over by the
American Iegion, it was announced
this week at a special unemployment
conference at legion headquarters at
Indianapolis. The conference, which
was called by Commander John (t.
Emery, was attended by national of
ficers and members of a committee
which had been appointed to investi
gate unemployment among members
of the lejion.
Data gathered by the committee
and presented at the meeting showed
that approximately !00,0()0 veterans
were out of work two weeks ago. It
was shown that 21.5 per cent of the
ex-service men are unemployed, and
that those employed had experienced
an average cut in wages of 32.5 per
cent since the war.
The findings of the legion's inves
tigation was said to have prompted
this action. President Harding was
notified of the decision and instruc
tion for taking care of the jobless
world war veterans were sent to 11,-
(()() legion post.v The instructions
to the posts asked that every effort ;
be made to secure employment, "for !
