Selling Beer to
Minors Is a
Serious Offense
Nebraska Laws forbid sale of
alcoholic beverages to minors.
Violation of this law subjects
tbe tavern keeper to revocation
or suspension of his license.
No retailer can afford that risk.
To protect tavern keepers
against misrepresentations of
age, this Committee has pro
vided retailers with “Sworn
Statements” which doubtful
cases must sign before making
a purchase. Minors who swear
they are 21 years of age or
jver are subject to a $50 fine
ior misrepresentation.
This is only one important
service to the public provided
by this Committee. The pur
pose of the program as a whole
is to keep the handling of beer
on such a high plane that it
las the full approval of the
public.

LINCOLN—The oapitol city
' has within its cultural confines
| most of the time a committee
with a “problem.” One of the
latest to be ‘‘temporarily" dis
posed of is that of the location
for the sculptured figure of
, the late Mr. Bryan, once
known as the “Boy Orator of
the Platte.”
These cold figures in stone
or bronie are of little interest
to most people. Certainly the
dead whose memory they are
supposed to perpetuate are
wholly indifferent. "The liv
ing know that they shall die
but the dead know not any
thing."
Bryan, three times a candi
date for the presidency, was
a gifted orator. So was John
M. Thurston. William V. Al
len. and a number of other
Nebraskans. But orators did
not develop prairieland into a
great state. The sodhouse pio
neer started that. Maybe if
Nebraska democrats are desir
ous of making a gesture, there
was Art Mullen, never an or
ator but a great democrat. Or
perhaps a figure with a big
hat to represent Jim Dahlman
mounted on a horse would be
equally appropriate.
Yankeeland affords a va:iety
of nature scense. Look over
the wooded slopes of New
England hills, into the cool
depths of the rushing Niagara,
the gloomy Atlantic rolling
landward with sullen roar, the
historic Delaware and Poto
mac, Great Lakes and inland
waterways, canyons of the
Colorado Rockies and two
miles up over the continental
divide, the endless sweep of
lonely mesa beyond the moun
tains, the towering granite
piles of the Sierras, the foam
washed rock guarding the
Golden Gate, desert and timber..
and fruitful valley, and then
come back and stand alone on
a calm evening out on prairie
land and the;e behold nature’s
masterpiece drawn with a
brush of gold above the prair
ie rim. ‘Tis the hour of a Neb
raska sunset.

The justice department
threatens prosecution with the
promise of jail sentences if
they can hook the business in
terests of the country on con
spiracy charges to increase
prices, and at the same time
tndiously avoid laying a le
gal hand on the two greatest
of all trusts, the AFL and the
CIO. And while they are in
the trust-busting business the
attorney general’s setup might
find something interesting in
connection with the big hospi
tals and the MD’s.

Educators of the state,
preachers f om various states,
took over the cipital city re
cently and rega'ed themselves
and the few plebians who f It
equal to the heat with plen
teous platitudes for this “new
age” while artisan and haras
sed business executive, tractor
f. rmer and office clerk, build

along at their jobs about as
they have in every age. May

The resignation of a govern
ment official heading some
New Deal setup is reported
frequently, the reassuring ex
planation being heavy cut in
funds by congress. Cut.ing
off the flow of cash is the one
sure way of getting rid of the
supernumeraries.
One of the great newspapers
of Seattle has suspended pub
lication because of the high
cost of production. Fifteen
dollars a day each for the
printers to set the type, stero
typers, pressor n and editorial
force, all on the payroll, com
bined with rising paper costs
made the shutdown impera
tive. The cost of keeping bus
iness going is becoming seri
ous. I asked a food dealer
why a bill of goods purchased
seems always to run a few
pennies over even money. He
said those pennies were his
profit and if he did not get
them he would have to close
the store.
