Beer Retailing
Attains Higher
„ Standards
When the Soil Conservation
specialist goes to a farm he
goes as a friend, and often
makes helpful suggestions.
• Nebraska beer retailers also
have a “helpful advisor”—
the Nebraska Committee of
the U. S. Brewers Founda
tion. This agency works con
stantly to help retailers avoid
Taw violations and bad prac
tices which are against the
public interest. They are
helped to be a credit to them
selves, to the beer industry and
to the community.
• * * —
When conditions in a tavern
are found to be unsatisfactory
, *■. Nebraska Committee cau
tion usually brings a quick
correction. If some persist in
bad practices the Committee
submits the facts to legal
authorities for action.
Self-regulation thus keeps Ne
braska taverns operating in the
public interest.

LINCOLN—Is the state par
don board a body designed to
operate at cross-purposes with
the courts? Whether or not that
be the purpose it seems to work
that way.
The instances are very few
under Nebraska judicial pro
ceedure where sentence for
crime is either excessive orTnis
placed. When a jury convicts
and the presiding judge pro
nounces sentence circumstances
must be extenuating indeed
that will warrant any official
body interferring with the one
convicted paying the full pen
alty imposed. A convict, with
something of an air of arro
gance, recently walked out of
the penitentiary a free man
when by full authority of law
and judicial findings that per
son should have gone to the
electric chair.
* * *
If the lady member of the ex
board of control (who is said to
have hooked a few trees) got
the trees to grow many will feel
she has done a distinct service,
and if she picked up an egg or
fat hen that would be little
enough compensation.
* * *
There are 20 million soldiers,
sailors, office holders and mere
citizens on Uncle Sam’s pay
roll making it necessary to dip
into the Federal treasury for 20
billion six hundred million dol
lars annually. States, coun
ties and cities also have sizeable
payrolls. A few patriots have
to stay on the job of produc
tion.
* * •
From what the governor has
run into, maybe Mr. Peterson
would prefer to be back among
the neighbors in Elgin.
Until further developments,
from the straightforward state
ment in which the three retir
ing members of the board of
control concur, Nebraskans may
conclude that the dark cloud
which began to loom as a sinis
ter scandal has faded into a bit
of statehouse gossip.
Mr. Peterson’s initial punch
es are reassuring. He intends
to be governor.
* • •
Over 32 million laws intend
ed to regulate human conduct,
and law-making bodies are
again in action the world over.
The bus was moderately
crowded. Two matrons stepped
aboard and reached for the
high rail. There were no va
cant seats, but there were two
young Negroes sitting together
who had the instinct of the gen
tleman. In a fine spirit of chiv
alry they arose and generously
saw that the ladies were seated.
Standing, in the full dignity of
colored manhood, there was re
flected from these young men
perhaps the ideals of the insti
tution where they are students
and a silent rebuke for the in
difference so characteristic of
busriders to a lady or an aged
person trying to hang from the
ceiling. I learned these two col
ored boys are students in Union
college.
Another bus scene: A young
mother with two little boys, the
smallest just out of babyhood.
To the several matrons in the
immediate vicinity of the lit
tle fellow the mother instinct
was reflected in smiling atten
tion and all felt for the monrent
lifted out of life’s rough-and
tumble in the present of a
sweet child.

Teachers, like poets, are
bom, not made. The ready
made teachers are expensive at
any price. Those with the fine
rare talent to supervise and in
struct in our schools may be
inadequately rewarded by the
size of their paychecks, but to
the teacher, craftsman, or man
with the hoe there come re
wards which transcend finan
cial considerations.
Much is said respecting the
financial needs of our schools,
little or nothing concerning the
fundamental need, teaching tal
ent, of the kind represented by
the readymade type. When a
young child, I had one of the
former, Miss South, who
measured by present scholastic
standards, could about make
the eighth grade. But she had ,
a way with children and could
teach. In the same ward school
was a gent holding the job of
principal, Prof. Donelson. One
Spring day at recess a group of
boys out on the playground,
were badgering, annoying and
causing suffering for a small
boy of a poor family. The prin
cipal sat in an open window of
an upper story in educated ele
gance looking down on the
scene. But like Gallio of old
Corinth, who looked on as the
Greeks beat Sosthenes, he
‘‘cared for none of those
things.”

Three Holsteins owned by
Nebraskans, one at North
Platte and two at Gering, are
said to have made records of
more than 100,000 pounds of
milk in a year, equal to some
50,000 quarts.
At present retail citv prices
the product of one aristocratic
bovine turned into $8,500. Just
how much butterfat from other I
sources had to be added to
make real milk of this blue
ocean is not given out.

Scientists claim to have the
means of blasting everything
man touches to smitherenes, in
cluding himself. The Master
Scientist wrote across the rain

summer and winter and day
and night shall not cease.
