"Youth and age need each other," Mr. Ford said. "Youth must look to age for its education, and age edu cates youth because youth interests it. Young men from thirty years on are the best executives I mean they are well fitted to carry out the plans of an organization, but the best plans originate in older heads. The best part of a young executive's ex perience' may b ethe way he is held back by the wiser plans of older heads. There can be an excess of action and an insufficiency of wis dom.

Former Nebraskan Says Law Ill-Ad vised and Fanatical 'Kills Sociability' Dubuque, la.. May 28. Archbis hop Francis J. L. Beckman of Dubu que, former bishop of Lincoln, Neb. believes "prohibition has killed soc lability and has made real conver sation a lost art." "It is an ill-advised attempt by an impossible and unnatural means to correct an evil and thereby only opens the door to evil worse than the first; ill-advised because it ig nores history," he said, speaking at a welcoming banouet given him last night by the Knights of Columbus of Dubuque. 'It is born of fanaticism and would attempt, as I said, the impos sible and unnatural because it would legislate morals and attacks personal liberties. It is unnatural and there fore will never be able to be enforced because it goes against the very na ture of man and the ordinances- of God it would let abide the thirst and a desire for the natural and take away the natural for an obqect which is unnatural. 'Philosophy tells us and God him self tells us to dominate our pas sions and control our appetites and we do that when we know how to use an object with moderation. It is a medium, or middle, between two extremes, which calls for other ex tremes and makes the last evil wor.se than the first." World-Herald.

F. of Weeping Water at the meet ing on Tuesday after they had com pleted their regular work dismissed and opened in the initiary degree. and exemplied the mysteries of this degree to three brothers, they being Messrs. George, Ernest and August Graham. There are also two bro thers who are members at Louis ville. This makes five brothers who are members of the order. The order at Weeping Water is enjoying a very fine growth at this time. Among the twenty-three applica tions for parole and commutation of sentence to be heard by the pardon board June 10 is that of Farnk Biggs, undercover man" for State Sheriff Condit, who is under sentence at Ne braska City for giving a drink cf li quor to a bootlegger. Governor Weav er has granted two respites to Biggs since his sentence of thirty days was passed on him in order that his case may be heard by the pardon board. If the board sees fit, it may commute his sentence. Biggs was responsible for secur ing the evidence which resulted in the conviction of Roy Bryant at Ne braska City on a charge of selling li quor. Bryant was fined $100 and when the trial was concluded, Bry ant's attorney, Paul Jessen, demand ed that Biggs be tried for giving Bryant a drink of the booze he had just purchased. Bryant claimed that Biggs "pestered" him into selling the liquor, and then forced the drink on him. Biggs says, however, that he was solicited for the "buy" and then was asked for a drink. Sheriff Con dit says the only course an evidence man can follow to avoid being sus pected by the bootleggers i3 to comply with such requests. At any rate, the Otoe county attorney drew up a com plaint and Biggs pleaded guilty. He served two or three days in jail be fore Governor Weaver granted the first respite on May 10, prior to the May 13 meeting of the pardon board. When Biggs' case was not heard at that time, the executive issued an other, effective until the next board meeting. Mrs. Hannes Much Improved.

FILIBUSTERING IS CHARGED Washington Two democrats hurled charges of filibustering at each other on the senate floor Wed nesday as merchant marine legisla tion was under consideration. Sena tor McKellar, of Tennessee, charged Senator Copeland, of New York, with blocking his proposal for a senate in vestigation of ship sales and mail contracts made by the shipping board. Senator Copeland retorted that the Tennessean was fiilibustering against the house bill to give the postmaster general authority to make ocean mail contracts without competitive bidding but giving pref erence to companies operating under the American flag.

The house late Wednesday passed the Recce bill authorizing the President to lease the Muscle Shoals power and nitrate plant to private interests. The bill passed by a rising vote of 175 to S3. The roll call vote that followed was 196 to 114. Since the senate previously has passed the Norris bill for govern ment operation of Muscle Shoal", t" two bills now will go to conference. It is doubtful if any bill will b agreed on at this session. The Reece bill provides for a board of three to be appointed by the pres ident to negotiate for a lease or leases with one or more private com panies. Hits Power Trust. An attempt by southern democrats and a sprinkling of republicans to force a provision for government op eration in the event the president failed to obtain a satisfactory bid for the works, was smothered on a point or order. Opposition to the Reece leasing bill was voiced by several southern demo crats, including members from Ala bama and Tennessee, but it was Rep resentative LaGuardia (R.) of New York who said the "power trust" was waiting with fountain pen in hand to "grab" Muscle Shoals as soon as the Reece bill is passed.
