toxicating liquor contrary to the law
of the state and for which offense he
received a sentence of thirty days in
the county jail.

the arrest of Newell Roberts on the
charge of purchasing ' liquor and

at the office of the county attorney

which was of a variety of wine from j
Mr. Krivanek. As the result of the
charge against him. Mr. Roberts was :
civen a fine of $100 and osts. J
amounting to $105 which was set
tled for.
Sheriff Quinton and State Officer
Grebe visited the home of young

wine. Mr. Krivanek contended that
the mixture was not intoxicating

charges of selling.

'NIP' WESTOVER
PROVES TO BE A
REALDEBATOR
the
Commander of Lincoln Post of
American Legion Wins Argu
ment on Compensation.
From Thursday's Dally.
Attorney B. G. or "Nip" Westover,
as he is known to the many friends
in Lincoln, was here yesterday to en-
joy a visit with his brother. Dr. R.
P. Westover, and
t -,,. j .
iu rnjuj a. icaii
from his business affairs.
Mr. Westover, who is commander
of the Lincoln post of the American
Legion, has won more or less recog
nition over the state on his strong
and aggressive stand for the things
that are asked by the former service
men and among the subjects that he
has given more or less study is that
of the compensation bill.
On Tuesday evening Mr. Westover
participated in a debate at the Lin
coin auditorium with John D. Brady
on the compensation question and as
a result of the debate, the audience
that filled the building to its capac
ity, adopted resolutions in favor of
compensation.
The debate was attended by Dr
R. P. Westover of this city, who
went up to hear his brother wax elo
quent on the topic now before the
American public.
"The soldiers bought millions of
dollars worth of Liberty bonds. Six
per cent of the soldier's pay went for
Liberty bonds. The soldier contribut
ed more money, in proportion to his
wage, than did any other class of
citizens," Mr. Westover declared.
"This while the laboring man at
home, not connected with the army,
earned six and seven dollars a day.
an eight hour day. time and a half
for overtime, while the soldier was
on duty day and night, wore hob
nailed shoes, one uniform a year, the
coarsest kind of other clothing and
was fed on the roughest kind of ra
tions at an allowance of fifty-five
cents a day."
In another point the affirmative
speaker waxed indignant. He men
tioned the fact that the conscientious
objector even was treated with more
consideration ' than the ex-soldier,
who was given all his back pay, a
new civilian suit, a $60 bonus and
released to go home. Last winter
84,000 ex-soldiers walked the streets
without jobs and are still walking
them. The soldier, he said, suffered
greater economic loss than any other
jelass of war workers or citizens, yet
the soldier must suffer from the
burden of the war and pay his taxes
just the same as any other class.
Others Get Compensation
Every civilian employe of the army
and navy, according to the Legion's
debater, received from $1,200 to
$1,800 a year wages, and when re
leased from employment were given
a bonus or $zuu. up to last sum
mer, the United States had paid to
the rairroads, which claimed to have
lost money during the war. $S59.-
150.860.23. almost a billion dollars.
Four months after the armistice a
bill was passed compensating con
tractors to the tune of three billions
of dollars, not for losses actually sus
tained, but for profits lost that would
have been earned if the war had con
tinued and the cancelled contracts
allowed to run.
Does -Not Want a "Bonus"
The soldier does not want a
bonus, a gift, but only a square deal.
In view of the fact that he is only
asking for a total of four billions,
in view of the billions that have
already been paid to contractors and
railroads and for bonuses to civilian
employes, he does not feel that he
is asking too much, although he has
been called a political blackmailer
and a robber of the treasury," Mr.
Westover declared.
The United States owns 75 per
cent of the world's supply of gold,
and only owes 7 per cent of her
wealth. France, who owes 53 per
cent of her wealth, paid her soldiers
bonuses of from $83 to $200; Eng
land, with her tremendous war debt.
paid private bonuses of $24 to $240;
Canada paid bonuses of from $280 to
$600 apiece, and in two years donat
ed forty millions of dollars to her un
employed; Australia paid her sol
diers 40 per cent higher than our
men were paid, gave the disabled
homes, almost rent-free, and paid
the unemployed from $10 to $15 a
month until they found work; re
turned Canadians were given $75 a
month while awaiting employment."
NOT AS CLAIMED
From Friday' Dally.
The reflllPRt Kan hoon ttiqiIo that!
the Journal make more clear some i
of the facts in the case of liquor
selling of wnich Victor Krivanek
was found guilty yesterday. The one
Jug taken from the home by the au
thorities was one that contained only
the remnants of some fruit juices and
the jug Itself was one that had been
used for wine in 1916 and therefore
had more or less odor of the liquor
and this led to the belief that it was
intoxicating liquor instead of the
mere settlings or the former con-t
tents and In Justice to the family it
may be stated that they are not en
gaged in the manufacture of the
boom.
Adrertiiing is the life of trade.

From Friday's Dally.
The Plattsmouth Water company
is now busy on the extension of their
line of mains in the west part of
the city, covrring the new mains or
dered by, the .city council ;lastBum
mer on West Oak ' street. The new
line starts at the hydrant Just west
of the Missouri Pacific crossing on
Oak f-treet and extends west along
that street for 1.500 feet. The city
will have three new fire hydrants in
stalled along the new line which
will give that section of the city a
much needed fire protection and one
that has been agitated for, during
the past few years. Ultimately it is
hoped to have the line extended so
that the water service can be placed
in Oak Hill cemetery where it is bad
ly needed.
As soon as the six inch mains are
placed in the west part of the city
the water company will take up the
work of extending the mains on Lin

service there that has so long been
badly needed.
