MUST ENFOBEJHE LATTER
Denies That He is Infringing Upon
Provisions of the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Albany, X. Y., June 1. Governor
J Smith tonight signed the Cuvillier
I bill repealing the Mullen-Gage state
j prohibition enforcement law.
j In wiping the state law from the
Statute books the governor issued a
lengthy statement explaining that he
i takes this step in the Interest of
state rights, but that the federal pro
i hibition law remains in force in New
York and will be strictly enforced by
It lie New York law officers,
j Of preponderant interest and sig
j nificance. however, is that part of
'the executive statement which
J sounds a call for a new policy in
J prohibition enforcement represent-
ing a middle course between the
i "fanatical wets and the fanatical
; drys."
! Governor Smith proposes that the
states be permitted to define intox
icating liquor so that some states
may have light wines and beer while
others may, if they choose, be as dry
as the Yolstead act.
1 The governor said that the whole
treatment of the prohibition ques
tion has been "marked by hypoc
risy." and that the country is lpok
ing for a deal that will disregard
the fanatics on both sides.
He denies emphatically that he ad
vocates anything "infringing upon
the provisions of the Eighteenth
amendment," but he regards the one
half of 1 per cent alcoholic content
definition of intoxicating liquor in
the Volstead act as dishonest and
nonsensical. That definition, he be
lieves, was written by the fanatical
drys in defiance of the "general ex-
Aj prrience of mankind," and he thinks
that common sense, backed up by
"good medical opinion" would pro
duce a "more scientific" definition.
"Such a definition," said the gov-
3 trnor, "should be adopted by con-
ress as a nroner and reasonable
amendment of the Yolstead act, and
a maximum alcoholic content which
would limit all states to the traffic
I in liquors which are" in fact non-in-3
loxicating within the meaning of the
iu.? Eighteenth amendment. Subject to
jrti that limitation each state should
hereafter be left free to determine

OF THE DAY
AT PRESENT
Enthusiasts Busy on the Links and
Workmen Getting the Course
Ready For Opening.
One of the busy spots In the whole
community at present i3 the golf
course on the Luke L. Wiles farm
and If nothing else has been accom
plished by the installing of the
course it has developed a desire
among the residents of the city who
belong to the club for early rising,
and it is claimed that some of the
members who formerly arose when
the tollers were about ready for din
ner, now get up long before the orb
of day has lifted Itself from behind
the Iowa hills and shed its bright
light over the landscape. .
While the course was not fully
completed until today, practice has
been going on for the past ten days
and the new golfers are becoming
familiar with the task of "putting,"
"teeing" and other parts of the game
that we have taken over from our
Scottish friends across the sea.
A number of very skilfull players
are developing among the new mem
bers of the club and after a few

Eighty-one years is a long space of
time but today. Col M. A. Bates, who
has been editor of the Journal for
the past twenty years, is celebrating
his eighty-first anniversary and the
.'greater part of these years have been

The colonel ascribes a part of his
long life to the fact that he has al
ways been a democrat and expects
to continue so until the close of his
career.
Col. Bates was born at Summer

DRAWS DOWN FINE
Last evening. Chief of Police Al

Quinton were motoring out Wash
ington avenue to look over the trav
elers along the highway and over
hauled a Ford containing two gen
tlemen, one of whom was decidedly
in a state of intoxication. The men
were brought in and complaint
lodged against Fred Sey of Omaha
for being drunk and he paid the fine
of $10 and costs. The other member
of the party was merely riding with
Mr. Sey and accordingly was not molested.
and located at Tlattsmouth to as
sume the editorship of the Journal,
which is owned by his son, Robert A.

in wishing the colonel the comple

CARS ARE LAID UP
During the -rain and storm yes
terday there. were nine cars stalled
near the home of F. E. Scott, south
of this city and one of the striking
facts of the case was that there were
no two cars of the same make, show
ing that the storm was not discrimi
nating in the least but the mud laid
them all up. C. E. Metz of Omaha,
who was one of the parties was loud

Washington, May 30. The state
department today made public a
Memorial day message received by
President Harding from King Albert
of Belgium and the president's re
ply. The king cabled:
"Belgium forever will remain
deeply grateful to the brave soldiers,
sailors and marines of the United
States, who so gallantly fell on her
soil. Their graves on this coming
Decoration day will be reverently
covered with flowers and, on this
solemn occasion, I join with all my
heart, all those who will pay tribute
to these heroic sons of the United
States. I send to your excellency iny
warmest wishes for the prosperty of
your great country and the assur
ances of my sincerest friendship."
In his message of reply the presi
dent said:

of sympathy that binds our nations
together on this memorable occasion

Clark E. Mickey of the engineering
college of the state university, In
payment for services with the state
department of public works.
Robinson asserted today that
Mickey, under the code law, had no
right to draw dual salaries, one for
$2,500 a year for testing stone and
paving materials for the department
of public works and the other for
$4,000 a year for teaching engineer
ing in the state university.
Salary Increased
Mickey's records show that he
drew a salary of $2,000 a year for
teaching at the university until Sep
tember 1 of this year when his sal
ary was increased to $4,000 a year.
Other records indicate tnat iviiCKey
has been drawing $2,500 a year
from the department of public works
for two years for testing stone in the
state house walls and testing of ma
terials used in state paving.
The original appointment to the
state department of public works
position was made by George E.
Johnson, state engineer. Immediately
after the appointment of Roy Coch
ran as state engineer was made by
Governor Bryan. Cochran reappoint
ed Mickey to the same position at
the same salary.
Wait on Cochran
"I think it only fair to wait until
Mr. Cochran returns to Lincoln to
give him an opportunity to make an
explanation as towhy he reappoint
ed tme," Professor , Mickey said.
"However, I will say right now that
the state needs someone to inspect
materials put into the public works
done by the state, and I have been
doing the work cheaper than anyone
else would."
Mickey stated, that in additi3n to
th job""3T" inspecting state materials
and teaching engineering in the uni
versity, he often inspected paving
and materials for various towns in
united tribute to our own dead, but
equally a loving tribute to the brave j the state for certain prices

ours in defense of their fatherland
and the liberty of free men. My
countrymen wish for their colleagues
of Belgium prosperity and happiness
"None of this work interferes
with my duties at, , the university,"
Mickey said.

stated today that he would withhold
in the merited enjoyment of liberty i an opinion on the legality of the duaT

IMPORTANT
ANNOUNCEMENT!
No Reduction on Men's, Young Men's or
Boy's Clothing for Spring.
If band wagons were still, the thing, we would climb
into one and play the tune "NO SUIT SALE THIS
YEAR," as written by The Nebraska Clothing Co., and
our good friends, the Wescott's.
Don't put off buying that suit another day, thinking
clothing will be cheaper cr that you will strike a sale.
Good clothes have reached the lowest level of prices
and are now on the upward bound.
We are determined to maintain the integrity of this
establishment and will not substitute inferior merchan
dise to make the appearance of a so called bargain. We
stand back of everything we sell, but could not do so
with cheap goods.
When our Omaha suit customers inform
us that our suit prices are $5 to $10 un
der the big store sale prices, and buy their
clothes here, we are convinced we are
selling right.
Our only plan of a sale and one we follow out is: When
any goods do not move, or we are broken in sizes, they
are promptly reduced and nothing is said about it. But
you will understand if you trade here.

dition to our Specials you will always find adds
