In leading industries the average man worked only six per cent fewer hours in 1924 than in 1913 or 94 hours for every 100 hours in the year be fore the war.

GRYBSKY Plittsrnouth Phone 3604 MyrmrcL, Nebraskb GOVERNMENT BY POSTER A new terror in life is threatened in the proposal to get from congress $50,000 appropriation for plastering the country with posters setting forth the deep damnation of bootleg ging and home brew, and the beauty or holiness which resides In the en forcement of law, or to the inculca tion of a law-abiding spirit among the people of which latter, heaven knows, there is sore need, in more directions than one. But such a way to do it! And to what it may logically lead! There are lots of other laws that need enforcement just as much as the Volstead act, and on which the public conscience needs just as much to be stirred up. There is banditry, for example. Why not appropriate $50,000 for posters depicting the wickedness of holdups and the de sirability of more securely safe guarding payrolls and Jewelry shops? And automobile accidents, which kill tens of thousands every year. Let us have a thumping big appro priation for posters against speeding and jaywalking and driving with one tiZi.ua oi tne wneei tne lasi named subject would provide some spicy billboard scenes! And income tax dodging, and carelessly starting forest fires, and wife-beating, and powdering the nose in public places, and grand larceny, and all the other practices which prevent life from propaganda against them all! In the world war the poster cam paign for patriotism was not amiss, and was largely effective. But in times of piping peace to make the billboard a regular and universal agency of government would be to drive the nation to madness or de spair. We are not yet ready for gov ernment by poster. :o: WAGES LN 1924 Wages throughout the United States in 1924 averaged higher than any year of the past, the department of labor announces. For every $90 received as pay in 1907 on the rate-an-hour basis $288 was paid in 1924. This rise has made possible the greatly increased standard of living, by which we buy and use several times as many com modities and service as in 1907. People could save a lot of money if tliey were content to live as simply and work as many hours as they used to. , . ' -:o:- CHANGES IN THE CABINET Politically, Ambassador Frank B. Kellogg, who has been appointed to succeed Mr. Hughec as head of the state department, is a "lame duck." He was beaten for the senate by Shipstead of Minnesota, and prob ably suits Mr. Coolidge as a conserv ative without any sympathy for the progressive wing of the republican party, says the St. Louis Post-Dis patch. No one, however, can question Mr. Kellogg's ability. As a lawyer, he ranks higher than Mr. Hughes did when he went into the governorship of New York. Before coming into public life, Mr. Kellogg was known as a corporation lawyer, ranking with the best lawyers in the coun try. It was hi? reputation as an able corporation lawyer that led Mr. Knox, then attorney general for President Roosevelt, to select him as the buster of the Paper trust in 1904, and afterwards led Mr. Roose velt to select him as special attor ney for the United States to attack the Standard Oil under the Sherman anti-trust law. He also was counsel In the attack on the Union Pacific. It was his success in these big fights on trust that won for Mr. Kellogg the cobnomen of "trust buster" by which he was known for years. Having been politically thrust asiie and classed as a "lame duck," Mr. Kellogg has been somewhat in the shadow, and his selection as am bassador to Great Britain created as much surprise and criticism as his present selection as secretary of state probably will. He comes into com parison also with Mr. Hughes as he is an able man and as the ambassa dor to Great Britain, now in touch with European problems, he prob ably fits Mr. Coolidge's needs, for the present at least. The appointment of Charles K. Warren as successor to Mrr Stone in the attorney generalship is distinctly disappointing. Mr. Warren has no great reputation as a lawyer, but has a reputation as a trust promoter. He was one of the Havemeyers agents in the Sugar Trust, and he has been identified with sugar. In view of the situation with regard to the sugar tariff and the Sugar Trust, Mr. War ren starts in office with something of a blight. He is not to be compared with his predecessor. -:o: WHERE THE MONEY GOES Washington i full of bureaus, as everybody knows, and the bureaus are full cf jobholders, of course. Among the bureaus is tie woman's bureau of the departmsnt of labor. This expensive Institution has been engaged in a deep and exhaustive in vestigation of the domestic servant problem and -has just communicated its valuable report to the domestic efficiency association of the city of Baltimore. Among the valuable discoveries by jMiss Mary V. Robertson, the bu- j reau'e investigator, Is the fact that "tho servant problem is Just as much a problem to the servant aa it is to the housewife," and also that "there is a question of the great need of efficient and well-trained do mestic workers, with the supply of such skilled labor far below the de mand." Of course, that is all deep stuff, of which nobody had thought before. But, who pays for it? The taxpayer, naturally. And who is the taxpayer? Not only the rich man who keepa servants, but also the poor old ulti mate consumer, who keeps no serv ants. It may make that gentleman happy to feel his contributions to the government have brought forth such wisdom, but we doubt it. :o: THE TELEPHONE Since the telephone was invented, nurtured and developed in this coun try it is not surprising to learn that the United States stands head and shoulders above the rest of the world in its use. Two-thirds of all the telephones in existence are in service in this country. On the basis of our population, we have ten times as many phones as the world at large. Such is part of the evidence of American leadership in the telephone field, as disclosed by a study recent ly made by the American Telephone and Telegraph company. Of 22,904,415 telephones in use in the world, according to the sur vey, the American people have 14, 347,395. To put the situation in an other way, with only a sixteenth of the world's population, the Ameri can nation controls two-thirds of the total telephone service. Europe, on the other hand, with a much greater population, has only two-fifths as many phones. And of these a large proportion are concentrated in the great cities, such as London, Paris and Berlin. But it is in rural telephone service that the leadership of the United States is especially noteworthy. The rural telphone s almost unknown in Europe. It ". Ii perhaps significant, too, that the development of the tele phone in the United States has been left largely to private initiative and enterprise, often co-operative, while elsewhere government ownership has prevailed. That condition is partly responsible for the fact that in America there' are 13.1 phones for every 100 persons, while in Ger many, which ranks second, there are only 3.5. "As near as the tele phone" is pretty much a fact and not a fancy with us. We Americans do not always realize how well off we are in the matter or communication. And the ubiquitious telephone has been one of the chief means, 6econd perhaps only to the press and the mails, in knitting the nation into a harmonious, if now and then a some what noisy whole. :o: BOOZING IN WASHINGTON "Washington, every time you turn around it is a cocktail." says the wife of Congressman Frank D. Scott, who is being sued for divorce. Well! Well! Well Rieht where the president lives, and where congress manufactures the prohibition laws This is the sort of thing one should not permit oneself to believe. The thine to remember is that this is a dry nation, and that we are an honest and law-abiding people. If the situation is so serious that it needs a remedy, why not ask con gress to nass a law requiring each and every citizen to memorize the Volstead act and repeat it 500 time3 before brekfast? However, there are a lot of folks who do not eat breakfast. -:c:- DDMINISHINGS PROFITS Those who a few years ago criti cized the federal reserve banks for being profiteers now observe that the high federal bank profits of the war period were as abnormal as many other economic phenoma of that pe riod. According to the treasury de partment the government anticipat ed little income this year from the franchise tax imposed upon federal reserve earnings. While some of the banks are making a little money others are not earning enough to meet expenses and to pay the 6 per cent dividend on their capital. The reserve system has become a great business institution and with the increase in its activities costs of operation have mounted tremendous ly, and. during the past year or so, largely as' a result of the tremend ous geld resources of the country, it has been unnecessary for member tanks ' to resort to- rediscounting. With that type of activity at low level the federal banks have had to content themselves with open mar ket operations and the purchase of government securities1 the return of which is relatively low. It is accordingly easy to under stand why the federal reserve board has taken under advisement a pro posal of the American Bankers' asso ciation to prohibit federal banks "from handling non-cash collection items for members. The costs in volved in the prevailing practice of handling acceptances and similar items in approximately the same manner as checks imposes a consid erable burden upon the federal banks land one interview of their declining earnings which some of them can ill afford. From the point of view of the use fulness of the system as a whole there Is little reason why this type of service should be performed gratis by federal banks for members. When earnings were large and the federal banks wanted to make membership in the system appear as attractive as possible many free services were un dertaken which have now become a burden. Some of them are now like ly to be dropped, and properly so. The reserve banks are in a position where they need to conserve their re sources. DEAD DOG CORESPONDENT St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 15.
