Blank books! Yes you can get all kinds. The JournaL The state legislature adjourned 11 today sine die, establishing record in Nebraska for length time consumed. TVwIav marked the 91st day of the for the lower house and the 83rd dav for the senate. With his veto on the censorship bill the governor issued a lengthy statement on his reasons for f.o do ing. Decries New Agencies "I wish to refer to the danger. said this statement, "that lurks in the creation of additional boards and mreneies of government, the need for which is doubtful and taxa tion for which is ever increasing. "1 wish to point out the fruitful field of dissension, discontent and resentment that is developing in the public mind by this sort of regu latorv legislation. "But these -are minor points wheu compared to the larger theory of free government which is our fundamental law and which we have always cherished and believed in Movies Not Alone "The same criticism made against motion pictures in things they por tray, might also be made of the legitimate stage, the most popular books of fiction and the press. "Murder, manslaughter, homicide burglary, onenses against women. fraud. embezzlement, marital in fidelity, divorce and' every other crime is told and retold in the col umns of the daily press, but I ven ture the assertion that it would be a very small minority of our people who would favor censorship of this character of news. Certainly, then, it is not con sistent to censor motion pictures unless you censor the press, and mo tion picture censorship is the first step toward censorship of the press. Cites Better Remedy "There is a finer remedy for these ills than by state laws. "It is the law of personal control. with embodying strength of charac ter, moral rectitude, the belief in an Infinite God. temperance of action. tolerance for the rights of others and the precepts of the Golden Kule. I do not question the justice of THE UNIVERSAL CAR The American Legion's three day Carnival was a big success and the boys have added a substantial sum to their already growing Bank ac count. God bless 'em. Lack of room on account of the enormous crowds made it almost impossible to get near the booths to spend our money. This suggests to us how much better hereafter to "cut out" all these outside Street Fair and Carnival companies operated usually by a gang of cheap fakirs and crooks, who take thousands of dollars out of our city and leave nothing good in return. And "Lest we forget" let's have held in Plattsmouth each year make it the annual event The American Legion Carnival under the management and auspices of HUGH J.

"It is still true that 'the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, and it is equally true that there is no law that will repair the damage that is done when parents fail to ex ercise the proper jurisdiction and control over their children. "I am thoroughly -convinced that public opinion, left free to function untrammeled, will control this en tire situation.

Movement to Cleanse "Public opinion has begun to de mand cleaner movies and the move ment to cleanse them has begun. "I predict that two years hence this movement shall have made such progress that the question of censor ship will not be even suggested in the legislature." Governor McKelvie signed this statement at noon, one hour after the adjournment of the legislature. The bill vetoed by the governor was designed to censor motion pic tures with the name changed to the board of review of motion pic tures virtually adopting the origin al program for the board of censors. The board of reviews as passed. was placed under the attorney gen eral instead of the state superinten dent. The board was limited to ex penditures of $15,000 a year and mo tion picture men were given 120 days in which to fit themselves in ac cordance with the board of review conditions.
