in town on last. Tuesday which could

were almost impassable. Somebody
blundered in waiting to look after

caused much incon vience to the

specialists think they were making.
The people of Nehawka and those

could but they did not have the time.
As fine a crew of workmen as ever
made roads were on the job and did
all they could in the limited time
they had, and given a few days there
will be in an excellent road on the
detour. People can complain when
they know nothing about the case

does not make good roads.
EAPS TAXICAB LIABILITY LAW.
Lincoln, July 26. Railway Com
missioner C. A. Randall, who, with
his colleagues, is enjoined by Douglas
county district court from carrying
out provisions of the new law that
requires taxicab owners to have lia
bility Insurance, is perfectly willing
to lose the suit.
"I regard that law as unfair to
the small taxicab owners," Mr. Ran
dall said Friday. "Its apparent ob
ject is to drive the little fellows out
of business. If I were to guess what
interests were responsible for its en
actment, I should name a large taxi
cab concern and the bonding com
panies. The act is fine for them,
but mighty hard on the other fellows."

SECOND TRIP OF M'DONALD
New York Ramsay MacDonald's
last visit to the United States was a
sentimental journey with almost a
tragic end. Hia return here in Oc
tober will be to wrestle with, grim
problems of world peace and Anglo
American naval parity. By important
conferences in London with Ambas
sador Dawes and others the British
prime minister began active prepar
ations for his American mission.
Honeymoon memories of thirty
years ago in the old New England
town of Concord, Mass., brought
MacDonald back to America in 1927,
but the pilgrimage ended with ill
ness in a Philadelphia hospital. He
hurried back to England and where
fears continued for his health. At
Concord, however, he had called on
Miss L. S. M. Perkins, then eighty
three years old, who had entertained
him and his bride. Her hospitality
never was forgotten. MacDonald's
love story is as romantic as his rise
to power, but his wife died while he
was a struggling labor leader, and
as a widower he has naa two pur
poses in life, the rearing of his flock
of five childien and devotion with
religious zeal to the cause of labor.
Rome Belief was expressed in
some quarters today that Pope Pius
would following his emergence from
the Vatican yesterday shortly with
actual emergence from the new small
state onto Italian soil.
The pontiff was known today to
have felt the heat of Rome's extreme
summer. Yesterday's ceremony in the
courtyard of St. Peter's was trying.
because of the heat, not only to the
crowd, but to his holiness as well.
It was understood that his pKysi-
cians have urged him to spend at
least a fortnight on the lofty eccles
iastical retreat at Monte Cassinoo,
where he has desired to go for a
long time. There has, of course, been
no indication as to wheat action he
will take upon their advice.
The heat wave has been as bad at
Milan as at Rome, thus precluding
a visit to his former diocese, another
project known to be dear to the pon
tiff's heart.
His exit yesterday from his quar
ters in the Vatican was the talk of
all Rome today, the 200 thousand or
more witnesses gaining audiences
evervwhtre with their eager first
hand accounts of the impressive cere
mony.
The witnesses remarked that the
close co-operation manifest between
the Italian government functionaries
and those of the holy see was ample
evidence that the lateran treaty real
ly had bridged an old breach and
not done so Just in name.
Delight among Romans and those
visiting here in the event was gen

Lincoln, July 30. A state board
