Move to Mark
Historic Spots
in This City
Effort to Preserve the Location of
Many of the Early Historic
Places in the City
The cities of Nebraska along the
Missouri river are ri h in many his
toric incidents and with the lives
and the personalities of the leaders of
the early day spent in this part of
the state there are places that in
the future years will he of the great
est interest to the coining genera
tions and to properly mark and pre
serve is a charge on the present
residents of this section.
There has been some discussion
of the awakening of the need of pre
serving these historic places and es
pecially this year when Nebraska
ehbrates its seventy-fifth anniver
sary as a territory organized under
the Kansas-Nebraska law of 1854,
and members of the Chamber of Com
merce here are stressing that this
city do its part in preserving the his
toric spots for the future.
In the line of this honoring of the
pioneers of the state the V. R. C.
are urging that the new highway to
the Missouri river auto bridge be
named the General Robert R. Living
ston highway in honor of the colonel
of the First Nebraska and the man
who organized the first company in
the regiment in this city in 1S61
and served through the warin the
south. In this same line has come
the suggestion that the new bridge
be named the George V. Holdredge
bridge in honor of one of the early
railroad builders and who contributed
much to the material advancement
of this city in the early days.
There are a number of places here
that should be marked and set apart
for the historical value to the fu
ture, the site of the first residence
in this city at the time of the grant
of the charter, the first school, the
early trading posts and trails that
have led from this city westward
across the great plains.
Soon the last of the real territorial
pioneers will have gone on and un
less their services are enlisted in the
securing of much of the historic data
as to the location of these places
they will be lost to the future resi
dents of the community.
This is a cause that should appeal
to the various patriotic societies and
have some definite program arrang
ed that will give this section a prop
er appreciation of the incidents of
the pioneer days in this section of
Nebraska.

the friends of his boyhood days, this

SUFFERS SKULL FRACTURE
From Tuesday's Dall
John M. Clarence, who was in
jured several days ago while work
ing at the saw mill of the LivingBton
Brothers ten miles south of this city,
was taken to Omaha yesterday and
placed in the University hospital
where he was found to be suffering
from a skull fracture and his condi
tion has grown quite serious and
caused much apprehension from the
attending physicians and friends.
At the time of the accident Mr.
Clarence was engaged in assisting
in getting a large slab of wood from
the saw and the end of the long
plank caught against the saw and
the plank was hurled into the face
of Mr. Clarence, scrapping the 6kin
from the face and forehead of Mr.
Clarence and terribly lacerating his
face. At first it was not thought
that he had sustained other Injuries
but a later examination disclosed the
fracture of the skull which makes his
case a very dangerous one.

To Reach Juve
nile Delinquency
Over the State
E. M. Pollard, Head of Department
of Public Welfare, Tells of
Visit to This County
Thursday, July ISth, I had a con
ference at Plattsmouth, Cass county,
with Judge James T. Begley, district
judge, W. G. Kieck. County Attor
ney, and Miss Alpha Peterson, Coun
ty Superintendent of Schools. The
purpose of this conference was to
ascertain whether there was not some
sound plan which would reach and
cure juvenile delinquency before our
youth are committed to correctional
or penal institutions. This was the
first conference I have had with
county and juvenile authorities look
ing towards the establishment of a
definite policy, state wide in its
scope, the purpose being to save our
youth by exercising humane and
sensible supervision over the way
ward child, both male and female,
who is beginning practices that will
lead almost invariably to a life of
crime. While the parole system, now
a fixed policy in most of the states,
is fairly successful in rehabilitating
criminals, yet the experience of other
states thus far demonstrates clearly
that it is easier to prevent crime
than it is to cure the criminal after
he becomes involved with law en
forcement officers.
The plan agreed to at Plattsmouth,
on the part of the Cass county offi
cials, contemplates that the proba
tion officer shall function a9 pro
vided by law as the representative
of the juvenile court in handling all
juvenile delinquencies. It is expect
ed that the probation officer will act
through the attendance officers of
the 'various schools of the county.
This attendance officer is chosen by
the school board to act in that capac
ity where the teacher or the super
intendent of schools is so burdened
with other duties that they are un
able to serve.
This plan has two salient ad
vantages: Fir6t, it gives the court,
through the probation officer, infor
mation when the child first starts
In his waywardness by absenting
himself from school. Where the
teacher or the attendance officer
cannot cope with the situation the
matter is to be presented to the pro
bation officer who in turn will pre
sent it to the judge in an Informal
manner and a study will be made im
mediately of the home enviornment
of the child and where necessity re
quires the child will be placed on
probation. Second: This consolid
ation will result In an immense sav
ing to the state by preventing the
necessity of committing these chil
dren to state institutions and to the
counties in saving the cost of crim
inal prosecution.
This plan also contemplates keep
ing the child in its own home, ex
cept where conditions are such that
the child's future conduct demands
his removal from an environment
that will likely make out of him a
criminal. It is also expected that
the probation officer will make an
investigation of all applications for
divorce where there are children
involved. Governor Weaver tells
me that the records of the Board of
Pardons shows that many of the
cas coming before them are trac
ahle to school delinquency and to -broken
homes.
The la6t legislature enacted House
Roll No. 103 which Increases the
minimum attendance required on
the part of pupils from 120 to 160
days, according to the number of
months of school furnished in each
district. The county superintendent
of schools is charged with the en
forcement of this law. The superin
tendent must depend upon tne school
authorities to bring this about. It
Is expected that the probation officer,
through the attendance officers of
the various schools, will carry into
effect the provisions of this law. In
other words, we are seeking to con
solidate in each county all the public
regulations, state and local, govern
ing the welfare, from the stand
point of public supervision, of chil
dren under one head. Only about
10 per cent of the children of the
state would be affected by this pro
cedure. The other 90 per cent do
not need any correction or super
vision other than what they receive
in their own homes. This 10 per
cent, however, comprise the class out
of which our criminals come. It is
this class that needs supervision.
This pocedure will enable the pub
lic authorities to supervise such
children and direct their conduct
during the formative period of their
lives, and I believe will prevent in
most cases their entering a life of
crime.
I am calling a meeting of all the
school boards of Cass county to be
held in Weeping Water, Wednesday
evening, August 7th. At this meet
ing the whole matter will be dis
cussed and explained so that the
school boards will understand exact
ly what we are trying to do, and I
am confident we will have their
hearty co-operation.
The above outlined plan consti
tutes a policy of the present adminis
tration which we hope will ultimate
ly cover the whole state. I selected
Cass as the first county to be or
ganized on account of its being my
home county where I know the peo
ple and am familiar with local con
ditions. The surest way to check the
crime wave is b' striking at its
source. The old adage, "An ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure" it seems to me is pertinent in
this case.
RELEASE MAN
Prom Monday' Daily
Last evening the night police
force gathered up1 a stranger who
was found on the streets at a late
hour and whose actions seemed to
be suspicious and it was thought that
perhaps the man was a deserter from
the army as he wore part of the is
sue clothes of the soldier. Inquiry
this morning by Chief of Police Lib
ershal at Fort Crook failed to locate
any demand for the man at that
post and he was accordingly released

Graveling and
Paving on the
King of Trails
Completion of Road Gravel North of
Nehawka Will Close Union
Road for Travel
The paving of highway No. 75
from Omaha to Union will cause a
great deal of activity in the way of
road work through this section, with
the graveling of the detour that will
be used during the actual paving
of the main highway, as well as
th.e paving.
The first active start on the pav
ing work will be east of Union
where the contractors force has been
located and will start in on the work
of getting the first of the concrete
surfacing read'. The work was
planned to start at the Glen Perry
farm and go on south from that lo
cation, but the necessity of making
a change in the electric line poles
has caused a delay and the work of
paving will start at the south end
of the highway.
The road from Union west to Ne
hawka that will be used as the detour
highway has been marked and placed
in active service and this road will
run from Nehawka north to the Red
Ball highway where the travel will
be routed for the present through
Murray and thence north through
this city until the detour vest of
Murray and Plattsmouth is com
pleted and graveled and then the
highway will be closed for the pav
ing purposes.
The selection of the detour road
was not made until a very short
time before the letting of the paving
contracts and as there has been a
number of very extensive pieces of
culvert and bridge work to look af
ter the work of getting this road
from Murray north to the Platte
bottom in shape has caused some
delay hut the highway work will he
on in full blast in a short time.

ing on the occasion of the Elks card
party and which drew out a very
pleasing number despite the intense
heat that had made the day one of
the greatest inconveuience to the
residents of this locality.
The members of the club found
the surroundings at this delightful
spot most alluring and a temperature
that was much lower than down in
the main part of the city.
The evening, however, failed to
bring any pinochle player, to the
card party and this feature of the
club was omitted and the playing
confined to the playing of bridge.
In the contests Dr. It. P. Westover
was the winner of the gentlemen's
prize and Mrs. Charles Peterson, Jr.,
of the ladles.
The committee in charge of the
entertainment comprised Mrs. Harry
Piatt. Mrs. R. P. Westover. Mrs. Rae
McMaken and Mrs. Thomns Walling.
RAIN BRINGS RELIEF
From Wednesday's Dally
The rain that fell over the greater
part of eastern Nebraska yesterday
afternoon and last evening, brought
a welcome relief from the intense
heat and sultry conditions of Monday
and Tuesday and while in this local
ity the rainfall was not heavy it was
most welcome to every resident of
this section and did much good in
the freshening up of the crops. The
temperature rnaged through the
state from 90 to 100 and in this city
the highest mark reported was 95
degrees altho the closeness of the
atmosphere made the condition much
worse.
