THE KING OF BOOTLEGGERS Mr. AuKj.t A. liu ch of St. Louis, wtioe name will arouse memories among certain of our population, is Kin in the limelipht, by reason of a letter from him which has been foi warded to President Harding and jciveij to the press at the same time. Mr. Bu.Th composed thin letter while rn route to France on the George Wash ington, a vessel controlled by the American shipping board, and he was mazed to discover, he tells the presi dent and the woild, that the American shipping board's vosmI.--, under dirnt Control of the United States govern ment, are the wettest that sail the feven sens. Thus Mr. Busch charges, and with fome justice, it will be admitted, that the United States is the biVtre.-t lioot legRrr in the world. Passage on these government cotitrol'ed vessels, it m charged, is sold with a positive money back guarantee that the bars for ihe sale of intoxicating liouur will be the three-mile coast limit. The form- 'on.-i-ting of new-paper and window li-pla.vs. Pie.-umably the seiies, like o many that rue bring mM, was le- signrd principally to get the money. It con-isted of pirtuie for the window of the bank and a cut of the i-ame pic ture to be printed in the newspaper. This is the soit of thing that i often hung Uxn bank. and other enterpris ing firms that like to be different and are willing to part with money. Now it .-o happened that the adver tising service fuini.-hed the bank nt Waco was started on Memorial day The barker, who apparently held to Llie old belief that an ad is an ad, and that e::ch ad i as good as any, sent the copy to the printer and hurg uj he picture in his window without tak ing the trouble to look at it. It n happened that the picture, which ap peared in the local newspaper and the bank's window at the same time, was a likenc-s ot jenerson uavis, once prVsident of the Confederate states 01 America. Now, it has been a long time since the civil war, and probably only n few people saw the pictures of JetT Dais. but by night the criticism ami ora tory were running high. The word spread to other towns, as word will spread. And in the dead of the next nU'ht, some peison or persons un known, on foot or in an automobile, ent a charue of buckshot through the bank's window. The gunner hurried on and failed to notice that ho hadn't hit the olTcn.-ive picture, but no mat ter. He had vindicated his patriotism.

Chairman I.asker of the shipping board has made reply. He makes no bones about the fact that United turned soldiers might go any place on earth and look for a job, provided, of course, they had the money to go or felt like walking. Fellows who used to talk splendidly of the saviors of A DELICATE PROBLEM. The Lincoln city council is faced with a rather delicate problem, and the way it gets out of the difficulty should be of interest to a good many Nebraska cities and towns. Lincoln has a municipal bathing pool. It va built at public expense, with tax pay- ers money. 1 it nas oeen run, at a small profit, for a year. The pool is, of course, a popular place in this kind of weather. It i- u-ed by all clashes of citizens and el! races save one. The colored people have not been allowed to bathe in the pool that their money helped to build. A day or two ago, a delegation of colored folks waited upon the council in line form. They remarked that thev resented the discrimination and isked the council to put a stop to it. The delegation included a colored min- ter and the leaders of two or three colored organizations. They said the; didn't want to intrude upon the right of other races ;md weren't seeking so cial c duality, but they did want a square deal. The prejudice again.-t ihe colored peoj le is growing, one of ..hem declared. What do you suppose the council did about it? Why, one member toM ihe committee that relations between the two races have been ideal. He deplored the agitation, and pointed out that it was not fosteied by the older colored residents. If uch matter were pressed, he said, it nik-lit destroy the pre-ent ideally haimonious comli ditions. And then he sat down and the council, despite the request for immediate rulim.1, voted to wait a lit tle while and do some pondeiing be fore rendering a decision. And that harmony speech was ju.-t about as good as any of us could have done on shojt notice. The old time colored people wouldn't have made a howl about the discrimination. They would have done just the ame ilrmnrrnri' tinw tjillf nhmit the frr:it Slates FhipK are peddling liquor to Ci.ime Wttve aml the unemployed sol passengers, and declares that the prac- .li.,.- ..- rinntino- around the nee will be continued ho long as for- counfrv when thev should be nt work, white people do when they discover ijrn-owned ships are allowed to enter AH bosh, this talk of no jobs, they their presence is not desired stay and depart from our shores exercising y, jn one Nebraska city a German away.

William Jennings Bryan is again getting the first page, although the turning the other cheek. They want to know why and it's hard to explain without hulling somebody's feelings. And so it will be interesting to see just how the Lincoln council gets out of the difficulty. It may give some good pointers to other communities which may find themselves in the same situation.

It is shown that church membership has increased by more than 4,000,000 during the last five years. There are now 4(1,000,000 church members in :he United States, of whom 24,000,000 are Protestants, and they include the rich and moderately well off families as well a3 the poor.
