The law covering the selection of these operators provides ample safeguards against the licensing of the unworthy. The law specifies that the local governing bodies of cities and villages have the right to ex amine, under oath, any appli cant for a retail license or re newal. The board may au thorize its agent or attorney to act in obtaining any desired in formation. Further, the law provides that the local governing body must vonsider any signed complaint from any citizen of a violation of the law or any objectionable eonduct on the part of an ap plicant. A license may be re voked, or a new license refused if there is cause. This Committee urges the co operation of every citizen in bringing law violations to the attention of licensing bodies. < NF BR ASK A COM MITI EE United States H'ewers b ou ndal ton Chailes E.

Route 5 LINCOLN — Maybe public school teachers are not getting I enough pay. Who is? I could use a litle more. But public school teachers are getting handsome pay compared to the church school teachers, who have found something in the teaching job that transcends the filthy lucre. When public school teachers resort to the strike they are in a class with miners and fac tory hands. School boards are helpless to increase teachers’ pay when once the budget esti mate and levies are made. My own judgment would be to let the teachers strike until they found the coal bin and the flour barrel empty and wer.e ready to return to the job, as happened j not so long ago in the great city of Chicago. There are citizens in Holt county, touched with gray by the remorseless hand of time, whose character, culture and worthwhile knowledge com pares favorably with those j strutting across the scene today. I They got a few winter’s sehool I ing in a homestead dwelling out on the prairie, the feet of the | $20-a-month teacher clothed in felt boots, the h i; bu nor smok 1 ing, puffing, and sending out a little warmth. The noon lunch I of cornbread end . molasses | seemed to contribute to the I development of sturdy lads and buxom lassies, and the rudi ments of learning thus acquited i started them on the way to self education, some ultimately knocking at the gates of great institutions of learning. * • * Canada and the U. S.

It is not stated that the atom bomb is involved in the move. * * * The pressure groups clamor ing for things that involve high— 1 er taxes may well watch their step. The tax load could be come such as to drive property owners, the tax payers, to go on strike and not turn a dollar in as taxes. GOP notables are the con spicuous figures in Lincoln to day. The annual republican Founders day affair is on. The wit and wisdom has been imported from the swamp Yankees and the feminine charm from the Buckeye state, j Sen. Owen Brewster, of Maine, will be the principal banquet speaker, with the Nebraska del egation in congress as sparkling sidelights. There is to be an all-day affair at the Corn husker. The attractive feature of the ladies’ luncheon will be an ad dress by Mrs. Robert Taft, of Ohio, wife of Sen. Taft. Fol lowing the banquet at 6:30, the ; executive mansion will be a scene of brilliancy when Gov. and Mj^, Peterson hold a ie ceptior lor the Nebtaska mem bers of congress. One thousand are expected for the banquet. I don't know' whether the I precinct committeemen and j committeewomen out in the sticks are in on this or not. * * * Chief Little Wolf of the Sioux tribe, stating his age to be 108 , and claiming to have had a part in the affair up on the Little Big Horn, was looking for a fifth wife a while ago, laying | down these specifications: 48 i years-old, 145 pounds, not a squaw. Ninety-nine out of one hundred, he says, are booze hounds, having taken to fire water. Only one of his four wives was a squaw, and she was killed in the Custer cam paign. # „ .

Biyan have plans to erect a monument to his memory and name a street as a dubious ges ture to one of the state’s not ables. At the democratic na tional convention in 1896, thr* time honored tariff question was ignored in a speech by Mr. Bryan whose ringing oratory denouncing the gold standard brought the delegates to their feet and won for him the presi dential nomination when this climax shook the walls of the convention halls: “You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns; you shall not crucify mankind on a cross of gold.” Mr. Bryan lost the election, but the “cross of gold” continued to back the U. S. currency and does yet in jffect, and while Mr. Bryan was borne along on a popular cur rent for a time that convention speech marked his greatest hour. And now a monument of cold stone or bronze, a stretch of concrete over which motor ists hurry—is that the goal of political bigwigs? , * * * Ladies and others holding city jobs are soliciting signa tures to petitions asking that a letirement plan for city em ployees be submitted to the voters next election; something that will take the sting out of the conventional way of retir ing an employee, the more-or less familiar note from the boss: “Your services will not be need ed after this week.” * * * The scientific V-2 rocket builders will take a shot at the moon again in May. What hap pens then will determine the schedule for a swift ride to and from the lunar orb — if the brave souls now talking of manning the stellar ship don’t back down. Scientific builders of 22,000 B. C. had greater am bition. While those of our gen eration are satisfied to just reach the moon, those old boys pioposed to go still higher via a tower “whose top may reach unto the heaven.” * * * On the theory that such a law' could never be effective, Gov. Peterson vetoed the smok ing in bed measure passed by the legislature, thus upholding the right of hotel guests to do as they please about it when they go to bed. Sixteen hours out of bed seems not long enough for some to suck a light ed, fag. • * * Delinquency, social error, maladjustment, wrong environ ment, unfortunate mistake — the uplifters are making no headway and maybe what is needed is a return of the fire eating preachers who landed squarely on the solar plexus and had but one word for it: SIN! * * ♦ The backers of Columbus put up the equivalent of $2,115 and what has developed into Earth’s best half was discovered. Righ ard Byrd’s expedition absorbs well over $1,000,000 and noth ing much comes out of the frozen wastes. * • * Those Muscovites see Yank eeland through red lenses and mavbe ours are tinted green. Communism springs naturally from roots reaching deep into Europe’s blood-soaked soil, but don’t try to ram it into a self reliant Nebraskan. * * * The defeat by a vote of near ly two-to-one of a proposed bond issue for school purposes by the citizens of Madison is a fairly correct index to the senti ments of Nebraskans toward hitching on more taxes.
