What the Law
Says About
Selecting
Beer Retailers
Licenses will soon be issued to
the tavern-keepers who will
operate in your town next year.
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.

CANDLELIT CONFERENCE TABLE

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.

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

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

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. # „ .

Lincoln friends of the late W.
J. 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

well over $1,000,000 and noth

frozen wastes.

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.
