that statement that President Hard

THE CASE OF MR. WILSON
The other day in Boston a tele
gram was delivered to Harold D.
Wilson. The telegram was signed
"Blair, Commissioner," and was dat
ed at Washington. It merely said:
"You are hereby removed from posi
tion head prohibition field force for
Massachusetts at close of business
Jan. 27. You are instructed to turn
over office," etc. Mr. Wilson seems to
have landed on the outside of his of
fice with a loud noise and an inter
view for all the Boston papers. And
the more interviews he hands out the
more embarrasing it gets for repub
lican Massachusetts.
Mr. Wilson says that before he
was dicharged he was offered a bet
ter job in the prohibition enforce
ment service elsewhere: "If I am so
tempermentally unfit, why tender
me a similar job anywhere an the
United States other than Massachus
etts? Do we require a different kind
of law enforcement officials' in this
commonwealth than any other state
in the Union?" Commissioner Blair
admits that he offered to make Mr.
Wilson a general prohibition agent
in another 6tate, ibut declares at a
subsequent time, "It is evident ifrom
his statements that he tempermen
tally is unfit for the position which
we tender him."
All this would sound like a squab
ble of small importance but for an
added feature tr two. One of these is
revealed tin the comment of Lieuten
ant Governor Fuller of Massachus
etts: "Wilson may have talked too
much, tout it is my opinion that if he
had not raided the Quincy House he
would nat have been fired." Accord
ing to the Springfield Republican,
Mr. Fuller said that if Wilson had
'pursued the regular channels in
raiding the Quincy House his pro
would have been given advance in
formation." Incidentally, Mr. Wil
son's successor is alleged to have
served time in the reformatory at
Concord a quarter of a century ago,
although he has lived an exemplary
life since that time. The charge then
was theft from the mails. Within
more recent years the new prohibi
tion officer has held positions in the
office of the government Fuel Com
mission, In the United States' Treas
ury department, and was prominent
ly connected with several religious
and church organizations. As for Mr.
Wilson, he proposes to make all sorts
of trouble at the elections this year.
:o:
We rather .admire Senator Tom
Watson, now, more for his courage
than anything else. He Is making it
hot for the republicans w.ho voted
for the admission of Newberry as a
member of the senate, and was not
a bit lackward in his defence of
right and against wrong. He as now
after Secretary Mellon's scalp. He
says the secretary of the treasury is
holding this -position illegally, and
according to the constitution of the
United States he should 'be called up
on to resign. He is more than twen
ty times a millionaire, with so many
irons in the fire 4 hat it makes him
disqualified for the position. Go for
them, Tom. Give it to them right and
left, and the people will stand by
you.
:o:
In 1921 $800,000,000 worth of
automobiles and accessories were
stolen in the United States, $30,
000,000 worth in New York alone.
One of the New York's army of as
sistant district attorneys in report
ing the figures declares that auto
mobile thievery is organized on a
countrywide basis "and along Stan
dard Oil methods of efficiency." He
states that the high powered cal
more than anything else is responsi
ble for the Increase in these crimes.
He suggests the creation of a stat
and national clearing house for the
detection of automobile thieves. The
advent of the automobile has facili
tated crime as well as pleasure.
:o: .
That Indian chief who died the
other day at the age of 187 years
doesn't impress Arthur Brisbane. The
chief could remember the war of
1812 and was married eight times.
But, says Brisbrane, "In the whole
137 years he lived less .than Keats
lived in that one night when he read
through "Chapman's Homer!' In his
137 years of life he knew less of life
than Napoleon knew in ten seconds
as he took the crown in his own
hands and put it on his head." And
yet the Chippewa chief knew more
happiness than-either Keats or Na
poleon. :o:
President Harding says that the
conference at Washington ha
"drawn the indictments of national
dishonor." Burke, more wisely, de
clared, "I do not know the method
of drawing up an indictment against,
a whole people." But we live and
learn. - Yet there must have been
"some" evolutionary process from
Burke to 'Harding.

WHY HARD TIMES?
What started this busane,ss depres
sion? Long haired economists ad-
vance different theories. j
One theory. is that prices and pros-
perity and hard times travel in cy-,
cles ike the teeth of a saw, roughly j
20 vears ud 30 years down. This
theory is advanced by economists
who have noted that panics come
periodically. I
during periods of prosperity, go on,
,a spending jag. Then the thrift , in-;
stinct, Which makes squirrels hoard
nuts for winters; asserts itself. Peo-j
pie stop buying, production falls off,'
men are thrown out of work. j
Psychologists' step in at this point
and talk about "social hysteria"
the emotional waves that periodical
ly sweep a nation or the world and
start wars, religious revivals, danc
ing epidemics and reform movements
like prohibition. - :
Supporting this theory: The pres-'
ent world depression first showed it
self, faintly in India, early in 1920.
It broke out violently in the Japan
ese silk market in March, 1920. ;t rav
eled round, the world. .reached us two
months later.
None of these theories get to the
bottom of the matter. The fin?t symp
tom .of business depression in Amer
ica -was the "overall parade." It was
a red flag warning that people were
about to stop buying. ;
Why did they stop? High prices
were only partly 'to mame. i'eopie
flush ' with money, will pay any
price, as long as they get real value.
The overall parades started when
people discovered that, in most cases
they couldn't get certain articles of
clothing of good quality at any price.
You recall those days. It seemed
that nearly everything went to piecos

When all is said and done, the
causes of hard times are spiritual.

counteracting reaction. There are
rare exceptions, proving the rule, but
the great underlying law of econom -
ics is what Emerson called the
i
of compensation we get no

out of life than we give.
Honest value and hard work pro
duce prosperity. After a while, pros
perity makes many, people reckless-
ly, greedy and dishonest. The reac -
tion from this is hard times, sent by
wise providence
to cleanse our
economic, morals.
You've noticed that you're getting
hetter quality now. That means, we
are on the road back to good times.
There never will be a panic if
every one always will give honest
value.

FIRST OPEN MEETING OF
WOitfAN'S CLUB LAST NIGHT
The first open meeting since the
organization of the Plattsmouth
Woman's club was held last evening
in the auditorium of the public li
brary. A large audience was pres
ent to greet the newly elected officers
all of whom were in attendance ex
cepting the corresponding Fecretary,
who was detained at home by illness.
After the reading of the minutes,
the secretary was asked to read the
constitution and by-laws for the ben
efit of new and prospective members.
This was followed by a discussion as
to fixing the date for future general
meetings. It was decided to meet on
, the first Monday at 8
p. m. and on
the third Friday at 2:45 p. m. This
will enable the teachers and business
girls to get the club work without
giving up their gymnasium work at
the High school and also make it
more convenient for some of the
other ladies to attend.
A recess was given for the enroll
ment of new members and at the
close the secretary reported ninety
four names so it is confidently ex
pected that one hundred can be sent
in .when application for the charter
is made.
Mrs. W. A. Robertson spoke at
length upon civic problems which
demand our attention and also in
