Movement for Short Route.
There is a movement for a shorter
route for the east, and a better road
to the county seat, being worked out
by the residents of western Cass
county. Now that there is a hard
surfaced road most of the way from
jthe western line of Louisville pre-
cinct, the precincts of South Bend
precinct are agitating a better road
along the precinct line, and with the
evpense being distributed over the
various rrecincts of the county itself,
the expense will not be heavy on
either of them- This would give this
portion of the county a better road to
the county seat and at the same time
a shorter route to the east via the
new Missouri river bridge which is
just completed at Plattsmouth. A
meeting of the voters of Greenwood
and Salt Creek precinct will be had
shortly to further consider the prop
osition. Saw Much Early Nebraska.
Mrs. Jane Coleman with her 8 4
years and many of them spent in
Cass county, Nebraska, where she has
lived in the vicinity of Greenwood

quite poorly for a portion of the time
this winter, and while this is the
case, has showed much improvement
and with the better condition of the
weather is much better and enjoying
the later weeks nicely.

sure experts when it comes to auto-

new motor in the body of the Reo
truck, the body and chasis being in
fine condition, and with the placing
of this new and powerful motor in
the truck chasis will make one of the
Aery best trucks and will provide
Fred with a truck which will serve
him excellently.

'Dual Control'
in Prohibition
Transfer Hit
Buck Passing' to Develop Foes of
Bill Assert: Juryless Trials
Upheld by Dean
Washington, Feb. C. Trial with
out jury in "casual" prohibition
cases, as recommended by the Hoo
ver lew enforcement commission,
was both favored and denounced in
congress Thursday.
Senator Wagner (D. ), of New
York, in the senate attacked the pro
posal as constitutionallj- wrong and
therefore defective. . .
Chairman George W. Wickersham
of the President's law enforcement
commision and Dean Roecoe Pound,
dean of Harvard law school, a mem
ber of the commission, before a
house committee defended the pro
posal. It is legal and should be put into
effect to relieve court congestion,
they declared. "
Announcement was made that the
Wickersham commission will hear
Representative L. C. Dyer (R.), Mis
souri, March 5, on his request that
the commission consider 2.75 per
cent beer as an aid to law enforce
ment; also whether it i3 permissable
under the Eighteenth amendment.
Dual Control Approved
A storm of opposition to the
Williamson bill transferring prohi
bition enforcement to the Ju?tice de
partment broke out in the house
from many members, who said the
dual authority provided between the
Justice and Treasury departments in
issuance of permits to legitimate in
dustrial alcohol users will result in
a "buck passing" of responsibility.
Some members clamored for re
tention of full authority by the
treasury over issuance of industrial
alcohol permits. Others wanted the
authority placed entirely in the De
partment of Justice. Party linos
of prohibitionisia and antiprohibi
tionists were sundered.
Opposition to the Justice depart
ment having anything to say over
permit issues has come from indus
trial alcohol manufacturers and
users.
Mitchell "Dry Czar"
Williamson (R.), South Dakota,
author of the transfer bill, which
has the backing of President Hoo
ver, stoutly insisted it leaves no room
for "passing the buck" between the
treasury head and attorney general;
that Attorney General Mitchell vir
tually is made "dry czar."
Dean Pound told the Christopher
son committee that the constitution
does not give the right of trial by
jury in minor or petty law violations.

RESCUE TEST A SUCCESS
Aboard U. S. S. Falcon, off Key
West The crew of the submarine
S-4 was brought to the surface oT
the gulf of Mexico Thursday in a div
ing boll designed by the navy de
partment. The bll, similar to the
O'Rourke bell, successfully operated
last week, brought up the men from
a depth of seventy feet.
In the operation Thursday, the
bell was lowered over the motor
hatch of the submarine by the Fal
con and the hatch opened by mem
bers of the submarine crew. The
men entered the bell and were lifted
to the surface to be takn aboard the
Falcon.
The navy department's bell is sim
ilar in design to the O'Rourke bell.
It is open at the bottom, depending
upon air pressure to keep out the
water. Successful experiments Wed
nesday were conducted with a bell
of the enclosed type designed by a
Gorton, Conn., boat company. Oper
ations with all three devices, officers
said, demonstrated their value in
rescuing persons entropped in dis
abled undersea craft and in sending
workmen to such vessels.

Young Indians
Seek Right to
Express Self
Hope New Policy of Government
Will Make Schools More
Elastic
Wichita. Kan. Unlike the white
boy, the Indian youth has not de
veloped the hopes and aspirations
which lead to accomplishment. Much
responsibility for this lies at the door
of the Indian education system as it
has been practiced by the Govern
ment. It has not been productive cf
individual thought or higher ideals.
The training has not been of the kind
to develop individual responsibility.
At a very early age the Indian boy
is taken from his home and parents
and is sent to some distant Govern
ment school. Often it is necessary to
send the boy because the parents are
in such straitened circumstances that
they cannot send him to a local
school.
A system used by a certain agent
on a reservation to get parents to
send their children to school proved
very effective. About the last week in
August he posted a notice to the
effect that no money would be paid
o(Tt to Indian parents unless they
have snt their children to school,
and of course the parents have to
comply with this order if they are in
need of the money.
This same agent had told a certain
Indian woman that she could not
send her children to a Government
school as she was able to afford to
educate her own children. This In
dian woman has four children of
school age and only two of them are
attending school. The other two are
working due to necessity. Surely
there should be some uniform rule
on thi3 question to determine who
should and who need not be sent to
a Government school.
Surrounded by Restrictions
When the boy reaches an Indian
school he finds "himself in company
with several hundred other Indian
boys of various sizes, ages and tribes.
As soon as he enters the gate he is
under the supervision of the disci
plinarian, who has no time for each
individual boy.
The Indian boy finds that he has
to obey certain rules and regulations
of the school and that the punish
ment is often severe for the infrac
tion of one of these rules. The boy
finds himself a cog in a machine.
lT htis to line up with the other
boys to march to meals, he has to go
through military dirll?, march to the
classroom and other school functions
that he is required to attend. He is
assigned to a certain company, a cer
tain seat in the dining room, he is
assigned to do certain work. Soon he
does everything in a mechanical way.
In the long run he loses that sense
of responsibility so important in lifev
He gets used to having someone push
him along all the time. Sometimes
the motivating power used for the
push is not very gentle. This system
often destroys whatever initiative the
youth may have had when he first
came to the school.
No Time to Think for Himself
Is it any wonder that the Indian
youth has little desire to nurture
aspiration? The routine activities be
come so tiresom0 that the Indian
boy looks forward lo vacation with
far more eagerness than the white
boy. He does not have the time for
meditation or to think out what he
is going to do when he gets out of
school. There is not very much time
that he can call his own. There is
not always someone to give him ad-
viceor discuss with him such fields
or work in which ho mry be inter
ested. If the new policy of the Govern
ment aini3 to remedy some of the
defects of the present system of edu
cation of the Indian, then the In
dian youth is heartily in favor of it.
A pressing need is the revision of
the course of study as followed by
the Indian schools of today. The
course is drawn up by ocme people,
possibly in Washington, who seem
to think that all the Indian needs
is an elementary education, that the
Indian is not very intellectual. As a
result, the education received by the
Indian is for inferior to that of tlie
white boy. The course usually dif
fers greatly with the State requiro
m?nts. and as a result the credits
of the Indian schools are practically
worthless and are not acceptable fcr
work in a higher school. Each In
dian school should work with thf
state in which it is located in draw
ing up its course cf study. In thi3
way it may be possible for the pu
pils in Indian schools to get credit
for their work in Government
schools.
The personnel of the Government
employees is another thing that
needs attention. The present staff cf
employees is below the p.verago in
efficiency, and old methods of teach-,
ing are practiced. It is almo?t impos
sible to make changes in schools due
to so much red tape. Other em
ployees are even more pronounced
in their lack of efficiency. Only a
few of them are trained thoroughly
in their line to instruct Indian pu
pils. There are some employees who
are prejudiced against the Indians.
Fail to Get Boy's Confidence
There are some regular slave driv
ers in the Indian Service and the
sooner they are weeded out the better
it will be for the Indian. The Indian
boy learns to fear these white em
ployees and as he grows older this
feeling really never leaves him. New
employees should be put in the In
dian Service who know how to gain
the confidence of the boys; this move
will develop character in the Indian
boy.
Military training is stressed in the
government schools. This would be
very fine if we were an imperialistic
nation, but we are striving for just

half. The industrial training given
the Indian boys doe.s not meet th

Indian boy gets academic training for
a half day where the white boys goes
to school a whole day and both arc
supposed to cover the same work in
one year.
The Indian boy will welcome any

receive such training as will plac
him on pur with the white boy. I!"

his academic training as will en

to improve his lot.
When forward-locking policies are
put into execution, the Indian prob
lem will no longer exist.
