board had explained to them the ad
vantages that will come to the hog

eradication of the T B in the herds
of the county, by giving the hogs

will bring to the farmers of the
county an increase of from $8,000 to
$10,000 in premiums secured on the
sale of the tested stocks and hogs

The matter was presented to the

From Wednesday's Dally
Last evening a very pleasant sur
prise party was held at the Ray
Hose home on Oak street, the occa
sion being the birthday anniversary
of Mr. Hose and in whose honor
the event was arranged by Mrs. Hose.
The guest of honor was unaware of
the pleasant event in store for him
until the guests commenced to ar
rive and greeted him with their well
wishes and hopes for many more
such pleasant birthday gatherings.
The evening was spent in games
and dancing that served to pass the
time most delightfully for several
hours and was followed by dainty
refreshments of sandwiches, cake
and coffee that completed the eve
ning of , the rarest pleasure and en
joyment. At the homegoing hour the mem
bers of the party joined in wishing
Mr. Hose many more such pleasant
occasions in the future.
From Wednesday's Daily
Whether the Happy Hundred sup
pers that have been held here for
the past two years have been popu
lar or not was very successfully
answered last evening at the parlors
of the First Presbyterian church
when the largest crowd that has ever
attended these events was present
despite the rain and bad weather to
enjoy the evening of fun and pleas
ure as well as a few clashes of ear
nest thought that was afforded them.
A real message on one of the live
questions of the day was given by the
speaker of the evening, Harry A. Fos
ter, of the University of Nebraska
, college of law as well as a spicy and
clever prelude to the address afford
ed by local talent and made an even
ing that everyone felt had amply
paid them for their attendance at
the supper.
j The ladies of the Presbyterian
church, who had the preparation of
the menu and the serving in charge
jwere up to their always high stand
ard and had an array of good things
1 prepared that certainly put everyone
in the most pleasant of moods for the
remainder of the program.
The tables for the supper were ar
ranged with touches of 'autumnal
decorations, autumn leaves and the
bittersweets forming the base, with
the red candles glowing in their cut
glass candlesticks and adding a touch
of color to the scene, surrounded by
the smiling faces of the men of the
community as they gathered for the
feast, which made a real picture of
a "Happy Hundred" and a few over,
Searl S. Davis, who by his aptness
has won the permanent place of pre
siding officer at these suppers, was in
his always pleasing vein and made a
resume of the work of improvement
in the city during the past year that
gave the members of the supper party
something in which to feel a glow of
Dride as the accomplishments were
reviewed one by one. In closing, Mr
Davis touched upon a subject that
is now being strongly urged that
of the graveling of the road from this
city west to Louisville and Cedar
Creek and which is sure to be one of
the big issues of the coming season
As has been the custom at these
suppers there were greetings extend
ed to the newcomers here who have
come into the community to be iden
tified with the business life in some
manner and in this list DeWitt Smith
of the Nebraska Gas & Electric Co.,
John McLean, shoe dealer, K. J. Cat
terson of the Plrattsmouth State Bank,
Harry Parker at the H. M. Soennich-
sen Co. and Harvey Johnson, drafts
man at the Burlington shops, were
introduced and. greeted with a song
by the guests around the tables
In addition to these newcomers,
the men who are members of the
faculty of the city schools were also
introduced, they being: G. E. De
DeAVolf, superintendent; Fritz Ro
thert and Irving iltse, who were
here last year, and the brand new
members of the teaching force, J.
V. Poynter, W. D. McMahon, B. G
Woodward and L. S. Fager. R. B.
Felton, another member of the fac
ulty, was unable to be in attendance
at this meeting.
Toastmaster Davis called upon Mr,
Fager for a solo and was, to use his
own expression, the victim of a
"backfire" as the solo was one that
gave the toastmaster a gentle roast.
One of the clever stunts of the
evening was the sketch given by
Bruce Rosencrans which served to
give everyone several moments of the
greatest delight as he explained his
various inventions that ranged from
the non-skid bean holder for the
table knife, with the added mouth
guard to fit any mouth, the noiseless
soup spoon and the sure-fire roast
ing ear holder down to the patent
sidewalk that could be brought in
each evening and which was recom
mended to Mr. Davis for use in the
winter season when the snow gath
ers on the sidewalks. The sketch
of "Ros N. Crane" was closed with
the presentation of the model for the
greatest ambition of the Happy Hun
dred a new wagon and auto bridge
over the Missouri river.
The speaker of the evening. Prof.
Foster, of the state university, was
introduced by Mr. Davis in his usual
pleasing manner and Mr. Foster at
once started his address by a series
of very clever stories that were well
given and which were followed by
his more serious discussion of the
evening.
The subject selected by Mr. Foster
was that of "The People, the Courts
and the Criminal." This talk was
on one of the greatest menaces of
the modern day United States, the
rising tide of lawlessness and the ap
parent helplessness of the people to
combat the increase of crime and es
pecially the capital crimes of murder
and robbery as well as all manner of
property crimes that are today great
er in this nation than any nation of
the world. In his opening remarks,
Mr. Foster gave some very impress
ive figures as to the criminal record
of the nation, showing that In the
year 1924 there had been 10,000:
murders committed in the United
States, that there walked over the
length and breadth of the land 135,-
000 unpunished killers, which was
greater than all of the clergymen of
all denominations in the country;
50,000 more than all of the police
force members In the nation. In
comparison, Mr. Foster gave the rec
ord of murders in England and Wales
that showed 100 murders in the year.
' The loss to property from robber
ies, thefts and frauds in this country
In touching on local conditions
Mr. Foster pointed out that in Ne
braska in the last ten year3 there
had been 429 murders and of these
four had paid the penalty for their
crime with their lives. In the years
from 1900 to 1924, the population of
the state has increased 20 per cent,
while the population in the prisons
and reformatories has leaped 100 per
cent. In the juvenile cases, there
has been an increase in the number
of boys amounting to 400 per cent,
while the increase in delinquent girls
has amounted to fully COO per cent.
Mr. Foster stated that he did not be
lieve there was any more of a moral
weakness in the young men and
women with whom he has come in
contact in his school work, than in
those of the past, and that he thot
them as good or better than the
youths of a decade ago, but that
while this class of people had been
able to resist the tendency of the
times toward jazz and immodesty in
dress, there has been a woeful drop
in the morale of a submerged tenth
of the people, where the girls have
been carried away by the jazz spirit
and the boys evolved into criminals,
unable to withstand by force of char
acter the tendencies of modern times,
and have gone on down until they
reached the prison or reformatory.
The glowing admiration of the
lawless leader, the making of the
criminal a hero was depreciated by
the speaker as one of the evils of the
day as was the gross sentimentality
shown toward convicted criminals
by large numbers and bodies of peo
ple and which weakened the spirit
of the law. j
The gravest crimes had shown the '
greatest gains of all and were the
most serious danger of the Ameri
can life today and should have the
greatest effort to suppress and elim
inate. The nation had to get the
criminal or the criminal would get
civilization, the speaker declared.
The tendency of the day to pass
the buck was commented on by the
speaker and who pointed out that
lawyers would pass the buck to the
legislature, the legislature to the
people and the people to the churches
and the schools, but still the crim
inal grew and flurished. I
It was necessary, Mr. Foster stat-'
ed, to have changes in the procedure i
in the trial of criminal cases to se-'
cure a just and tearless entorcemeni
and carry out justice and to which
the American Law Institute commit
tee were now working on a three
year plan for re-coding the criminal .
law so that punishment for the
criminal would be more certain and IB
that the two legal gods of the crim
inal Delay and Technicality
would be wiped out.
The SDeaker stated one very im
pressive truth in his closing remarks ;
in that morality could not be sup
plied by a legislative act or law and
that instead of the great accumu
lation of laws that were ground out
each year by the legislature of the
state there should be less laws tend
ing to try and regulate the personal
habits of people and greater effort
to stop the capital crimes that were
fast destroying the spirit of the law.
The enforcement of the prohibition
law should be carried out, but also
that the graver crimes should be rig
idly prosecuted and the criminal
made to fulfill the demand of the
law fo punishment. Life and prop
erty should be made safe If the gov
ernment was to continue to func
tion properly and this would require
a united effort on the people to make
criminal proceedure better and mod
ernized as he believed the law asso
ciations would recommend.
The supper was closed by the ben
ediction by Rev. H. G. McClusky. the
invocation having been offered by
Rev. Pfoutz.
WON HOT ARGUMENT
From Wednesday's Daily-
One of our well known young men
is being accused by his friends of
having gotten the worst of a "hot
argument" yesterday noon. The
young man in question is one who
loves to discuss and argue the ques
tions of the day from evolution to the
rolled socks fad and kindred subjects,
and while not engaged in labor can
be heard busily expounding his theo
ries on varied subjects.
Yesterday noon he gathered at the
pool and billiard parlor of Messrs.
Kraeger & Peterson, where there
were a number of kindred spirits and
here is where the alleged "hot" argu
ment occurred. At the time the heat
ed argument was not noticed, but as
the young man returned to his place
of daily toil he was startled to dis
cover that the portion of his gar
ments that was once dedicated ex
clusively to the male of the species,
was ablaze and that a large section
of his trousers had been burning
merrily for some time. The smold
ering blaze was extinguished with
out difficulty and the sang froid of
the young man restored, but it was
truly a narrow escape.
Whether the heat of the verbal
battle had caused the trousers to
burst into flame or someone had
dropped a cigarette in the cuff of the
trousers will never be known al
though it is thought that the matter
will be referred to Chief Sandin and
Claude Smith, secretary of the fire
department, who are experts on both
fire and water.
