McKelvie into the matter of the alleged assault committed by De puty State Sheriff Karl Schmitt on Luther Gritz. Auburn auto dealer, on the highway between this city and Union recently, the chief execu tive has suspended the deputy. The governor of the state, follow ing the indignation meeting at Au burn, took up the matter personally and had the facts in the case thor oughly sifted out and as a result he finds that the deputy used unwar ranted violence in the case in strik ing Gritz. The state of Nebraska will pay the bill for medical services for Mr. Gritz, the governor announced at the statehouse yesterday. The case has attracted much at tention over the state and particu larly in this portion where Mr. Gritz is well known and the governor with his usual fair-minded judgment, has gone into the matter very thorough ly and made his findings accordingly. The dignity of the law that should command its respect from the good citizens of the state will be raised to a higher plane by the action of the governor in making the enforcement officers bear in mind the dignity of their office and its purpose which is to enforce the law and not to Invite lawlessness.

McKelvie this morning carried to Havelock, Neb., in person a threat of state troops and martial law as a means to combat railroad "strike vio lence. Facing 800 rail strikers and their wives in. the city park at Havelock the governor declared the next overt act reported from there would be a signal for the arrivalv of troops and establishment of miltary rule. His speech followed a request made to him by E. F. Balance, Havelock mayor, who is a striker, to deliver his message in person. The message had been delivered Saturday night through Ira Miller, sheriff at Lincoln, but many of the strikers were re ported to have questioned the right of the sheriff to present it. At the request of Rev. L. V. Slo cum of the First Methodist church, who declared it was up to the strik ers to protect life and property, the audience cheered the governor. General Superintendent Flynn of the Burlington route, said this after noon that the company has no pres ent intention of rmoving the guards at the Havelock shops, whose pres ence, it is alleged, has been the cause of friction at that place. Mr. Flynn added that the strike situation had reeahed the point where it was nec essary that the workers in the shops be gien the right to come and go as they please. Heretofore the men, he said, had ben confined closely to the shop enclosure, wheer they were housed and fed, but he insisted they be permitted to go on the streets iwthout molestation. Some of the business men and strikers at Have lock predicted if the shop workers appear in public it will precipitate trouble. FAILURE In the Far East, Christianity has come to mean "war" says Fred B. Smith, religious investigator, after an oriental tour. In India they told him, "Christianity, a cannon ball, a submarine and a gas bomb go to gether." Smith thinks the war set back, by many years, what might have been the progress of Christianity in China and India. The big job for missionaries now is to explain this to the heathen: Christianity, the religion of peace, is not a failure. The trouble is in the failure to live up to the teachings of Christianity.
