New history for old is the latest innovation for Nebraskans suggesteg by George Jackson, state fair board secretary Believing study clubs and civic organizations should devote more time and thought to consideration of the background of their own state, Mr. Jackson proposes to substitute a study of the ancients with the more modern story of early-day Ne braska. His plan, he said, Monday, has been presented to numerous Lincoln study clubs who make a specialty of delving into the legends of ancient Rome and Greece and they have ten tatively decided his theory is not far amiss. To prepare a course of suggested study a committee composed of Mr Jackson, Joe Alden. state publicity bureau head, and C. W. Taylor, sup erintendent of schools, will work to gether. Jefferson is Hailed as a Lib eral Crusader Freedom in the Right of Religious Worship Eulogized Is Sup ported by Senators. Charlottesville, Va. Thomas Jef ferson, the crusader for the right of religious worship, was eulogized by representatives of three religious faiths and two major political par ties observir.sr the one hundred eighty-seventh anniversary of his birth, at Monticello Sunday after noon. Senator Fess, Ohio, spoke from the portico of the mansion on the mountain top. After a procession to Jefferson's grave, there was a prayer by Bishop Collins Denny of the Meth odist Episcopal church. South, pro testant representative, and brief re marks by Rabbi Edward N. Calish, Jtichmond, representing the Jews, and the Rev. John A. Kelliher, Rich mond, speaking for the Roman Cath olics. A score of wreaths were placed on the grave, among them a simple de sign of palms and magnolia leaves sent by President Hoover, placed on the monument by Senator Fess. An airplane circling overhead, dropped flowers. Sunday was the second of the three day observance commemorating the birth of Jefferson. Saturday at the founders' day exercises at the Univer sity of Virginia, he was remembered as Jefferson the educator; Monday, in an address over a nation-wide ra dio hookup, Dr. Edwin Anderson Al derman, president of the university, will eulogize Jefferson the statesman. "It would be difficult for us to overestimate the supreme importance of Jefferson accomplishments and the liberty of a great people." said Sen- j ator Fess. "The enfranchisement of the human intellect in matters of freedom of thought, including the freedom of religion, i3 perhaps the greatest boon to the human race. We may properly regard his labors as the foundation of that progress in civil ization which finds its truest flower ing in a spirit of toleration that has made America the home of the op pressed world. Jefferson never meant more to the freedom loving people of the earth than he does today." Senator Fess characterized the Virginia statute for religious freedom as "the greatest yearning of the en franchised human mind that we have in history at this time." Senator Dill said: "If we were to write a new declaration of independ ence under the inspiration of Jeffer son's principles we should write it in the terms of 1930. That new de claration should not be a repudia tion of monarchy, but a vote against the rule of money. It should not be a breaking away from feudalism, but an overturning of monopolies and mergers, whereby a few individuals exploit millions of people by profiteer ing practices that defy the govern ment. That new declaration should be a clarion call to a revolution with ballots to prevent our becoming a nation of employes under an oli garchy of money kings." State Journal. DOWN IN BIRMINGHAM "Every city should have an annual paint-up campaign. March is a good time to begin, hut April is the regu lation time in this part of the coun try. I,ct's make the coming month notable as a fresh paint, festival Every building should have its new dress of paint annually, but the qual ity of the paint should be of the best. But if a year is allowed to pass by without this needed attention, the alternate year at least should wit ness this 'shining up.' Paint not only heightens the esthetic attract iveness of a home, but is a wonderful preservative. No economy is more obvious. "Within the next few weeks all the house painters should be working overtime. If this be the rule, Birmingham, by the early sum mer, will seem in the pink of condi tion; especially if with this 'paint up' we have a general clean up cam paign. Now is the time for rejuve nation. Let's go to it." Birmingham Age-Herald. EGGS FOR SETTING "White Leghorn eggs for hatching, 10c above the market price.

"Washington. April 14. Before the Daughters of the American Revolu tion, traditionally opposed to foreign entanglements. President Hoover Monday night urged American ad herence to the permanent court of international justice of the League of Nations. The address came as a complete surprise. . Following close upon the Illinois primaries in which Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, foe of the league court was victorious on that issue, there was an impression in official circles that the president might not renew his efforts for United States ad herence. "Paves Way." The president devoted his entire time to a discussion of international affairs. He declared that the "success" of the London naval armaments con ference and the Kellogg-Briand pact for the renunciation of war had paved the way for the United States to go into the league court, on the theory that all American disputes with other nations should be peace fully settled by the international tribunal. "Such a court the world court has been established at the Hague with the aid of Amer ican jurists," the president said. "It has been accepted by 90 per cent of the civilized people of the earth. It is established and no other court is practicable. "Adherence to that court by the United States has been ear nestly recommended by every one of our presidents and every one of our secietaries of state living since its inception." Denies Force Method. The president emphasized the opin ion that even should the senate final ly approve American membership in the League of Nations court, there should be no alliances for the use of force or coercion. "Our position," he said, "was made clear in a statement issued jointly by the prime minister of England and mj'self at this time of his memorable visit of good will to this country. ""We said: " 'The part of our govern ments in the promotion of world peace will be different, as one will never consent to become entangled in "European 'diplo macy and the other is resolved to'pursiie a "policy of active co operation with its European Correct Millinery for Spring and Easter! A complete assortment is offered here at a most moderate price. 9U J9 tft 95 W AW m neighbors, but each of our gov ernments will direct its thoughts toward securing the peace of the world.' " The president reviewed the efforts of the world to attain a limitation in naval armaments and declared that for the first time the United States and Great Britain have reached what he declared to be an absolute parity, or equality. He declared, however, that for a long time to come, or until the in ternational court has been thorough ly tested, the United States would have to maintain adequate national defenses. Omaha Bee-News. WARMING UP TO CAMPAIGN Chicago Cook county democrats denounced Cook county republicans Monday and vice versa as both par ties held their conventions. The democrats declared against American adherence to the world court, urged repeal of the Jones law, Volstead act and Illinois search and seizure law and favored consolidation of all Cook county taxing bodies. The republicans, so far as the coun ty is concerned, will attempt to force the world court as an issue in the coming fall senatorial campaign be tween Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick, the republican nominee and James Hamilton Lewis, democratic nominee, it was indicated in the speech of County Chairman Bernard W. Snow. The democrats laid the blame for Chicago's and Cook county's finan cial distress on the "scandalous con duct" of the republican board of re view, which, they charged in a reso lution, deliberately withheld tax "lulls until after the primary elec tion so as to avoid political conse quences of the reassessment ordered by it. HERSHEY LOSES IN POPULATION North Platte, April 14. Hershey, a village about 13 miles west of this city, has a population of nine less than it had in 1920, according to the recent census made there by the federal government. In 1920 the pop ulation was found to be 482 and this year it is 473. Marsten Van Doran, Hershey merchant and com munity head, made the survey. Birdwood precinct, which is north west of Hershey, has been covered by the enumerator. The precinct has 40 farms and ranches with a popula tion of 196, five more than were counted 10 years ago. There is some speculation here concerning North Platte in reference to its holding the position of the state's-fifth city af ter the census has been completed here.

"Washington Investigation by the senate of government postoffice build ing leases, of which there are more than 1,200, was virtually assured Monday. Administration leaders per mitted a resolution by Senator Blaine, Wisconsin, to be referred to the com mittee on audit and control, for ap proval of expenditures, without the routine procedure of going first to the postoffice committee. The reso lution calls for a broad inquiry into charges of corruption and fraud in connection with the leases. Chairman Deneen of the audit com mittee, said later he would call a meeting for consideration of the measure "immediately" after it was received probably Tuesday and that he would call for an early report to the senate. Favorable to Inquiry. The committee chairman said he could not forecast the committee's action, but it was generally expected that the report would be favorable. The resolution, introduced at the be ginning of lengthy discussion, calls for an appropriation of $10,000 for the investigation. Willingness for the inquiry was expressed Monday by three adminis tration spokesmen, Senator Jones of Washington, Fess of Ohio and Phipps of Colorado. Senator Nye, North Da kota, joined Blaine in an attack on the postoffice's lease for the commer cial station at St. Paul, Minn., and the senate voted to withhold funds for payment of the rent hereafter. The postmaster general has wel comed investigation, recalling that no rent had been paid on the St. Paul postoffice building since March 1928, and that efforts are being made ; to break the lease. Claims Fraud and Corruption. Wholesale charges of fraud and corruption were leveled at the post office department by Blaine while the senate was considering appropria tions for the department.- Blaine as serted that the department had been "criminally negligent" and that the justice department had withheld re cords of reports connected with trans action of the St. Paul nd other leases. The Blaine resolution calls for in vestigation "by a special" committee of five who would go Into condi tions surrounding the St. Paul and other leases. .Attacks on the St. Paul lease cen tered on charges that the rental of $120,000 a year was excessive: that fhe'buildidg had been condemned "by municipal "health" autbbritiesr and No one hesitates to make their selection from these remark ably good looking hose at this low price.

REFERENDUM ON DRY LAW ChicagoThe Illinois Association Opposed to Prohibition issued a Ftate ment Sunday night reviewing the re sults of the primary election and re garding the contest between former Senator J. Hamilton Lewis and Rep resentative Ruth Hanna McCormick for the United States senate as tanta mount to a referendum on the pro hibition question. "The nomination of a distinguish ed champion of liberty and of an outstanding supporter of prohibition for the United States senate." said the statement "provides the voters with an opportunity to register their convictions next November. If the voters place their devotion to free dom and good movement above party allegiance the result cannot be in doubt." The statement, signed by T. Thiele as state director, said that "liberal" strength in the lower house of the as sembly will be sustained. "Four years ago," it read, "tbe liberal forces secured control of the Illinois house of representatives. The liberal lead in that body will be maintained during the session cf 1930. The closest estimate possible at this time indicates a liberal mem bership of eighty-four against sixty nine drysi" SUPERINTENDENTS IN STATE SHOULD ATTEND THIS MEET The superintendent and prn-i-pals' conference scheduled for April 26th at Lincoln, should be a most im portant professional meeting in the state, hese conferences can be to Ne braska education what the N.
