This Capon e person is a bad prob
lem it is almost as dangerous to
make bargains with him as it is not
to.
-:o:
Paderewski is said to have the
muscles of a prize fighter. And like
most heavyweights, he's got a light
touch, too.
:o:-
A French railroad is experiment
ing with rubber wheels. It can't be
that they are intent on making travel
more tiring?
:o:
However, in another year or two,
a Trans-Atlantic flier will be able to
get his name in the paper by falling
into the ocean.
:o: -
Well, the rain did come Saturday
afternoon and evening. Although it
totaled less than half an inch, it was
a great aid to the corn crop and all
growing vegetation.
:o:
A Moscow professor has made an
eloquent defense of soviet butter.
Next, we suppose, he'll defend the
fourth dimension, the atom, and oth
er things equally invisible to the
Russian proletriat.
:o:
The rain was pretty general over
southern Nebraska, but we fail to
read of precipitation north of Norfolk,
where crops have been suffering from
drouth for several weeks to say noth
ing of the grasshopper plague.
-:o:-
The big radio chains are booking
new features for the coming fall and
winter, studying the wants of the
listeners and promising to improve
the quality of their programs as well
as frown upont many classes of direct
advertising over the air.
While contemplating the fact that
Doheney was acquitted of the charge
of giving the bribe that Fall was con
victed of receiving, a Journal reader
says he is convinced the old saying is
true and that it really is "more bles
sed to give than to receive."
-:o:-
A man's first idea is that he would
prefer his biography to be written by
one of bis friends. But after thinking
it over, he decides that a biography
written by one of his enemies wTould
sell better, with the odds about even
that the subject would be handled
justly.
:o:
A commercial air pilot in the east
get word from his wife that she was
in need of $ 15. He flew over the home
and dropped the money, rolled in a
handkerchief, into the yard. A young
and considerate husband; some with
more experience would have wrapped
the bills around a brick.
:o:
Pipe is being strung from the
Platte river to furnish water for the
paving crew that will lay the con
crete from the LaPlatte corner to the
Platte river bridge and in a reason
ably short time this work will be
underway. Gradually the "gaps" be
tween this city and Omaha are being
closed up.
:o:
Roasting ears are on the market,
but the crop, like tomatoes and other
garden products is not very plentiful,
due to the dry weather. Everyone
relishes roasting ears and the mid
west style of eating them is "off the
cob," without any silver-plated hold
ers. This and the "off the bone"
manner of eating fried chicken are
what created a demand for table
napkins and when the fried chick
en and roasting ear season arrive
simultaneously there is really need
for "bigger and better" napkins.
Do you know that over
a period of 18 months
1,900,000
Persons were In

Accidents
?
Why not get your Liability in
surance TODAY and protect
yourself against damage suits?

And now since Saturday's rain
we're back on the same old one, two:
' Fair" and "Warmer."
-:o:-
After having struggled with pails
of garbage, we wonder why someone
hasn't invented a rineless water
melon. Freckles, says a doctor, protect the
skin from the sun's rays. And also
the lotion manufacturer from bank
ruptcy. :o:
Ireland is now said to be the most
prosperous country in the world. It's
a new kind of green they're flaunt
ing now.
:o:
What France and Germany seem
to fear most in burying the hatchet,
is that one of them will catch it in
the neck.
:o:
American idealism never goes quite
so far as to vote for the better man if
the other party promises to butter
the bread.
:o:-
Have you thought of it Labor day
is just about a month off then fall.
Time speeds and ere we realize it, a
year has rolled by.
:o:
A cubic inch of air, a scientist de
clares, may contain a billion mi
crobes. It is statistics such as these
that take your breath away.
:o:
Dental requirements at Annapolis
are so strict that entrants must have
at least 20 serviceable teeth. But,
sooner or later they'll get work on
the bridge.
:o:
The telephone is said to have open
ed a new era in diplomacy. But you
can't tell that to the young man
using it in an attempt to make up to
his girl friend.
:o:
No, Oswald, everyone who buys
bottle caps doesn't make home brew.
We know a home that has "scads" of
rootbeer, and it's a mighty delicious
beverage this hot weather.
:o:
"The supreme art of dressmaking
is something American women cannot
understand," says Paul Poiret, Paris
fashion-maker. Well, Paul, you have
perpetrated on our wimmen folks
some fearful atrocities under the
guise of dress.
: o:
A Texas physician says that be
cause of light clothing, bobbed hair,
and the "new Jreedom," women are
living longer. He might have given
hem greater cause to rejoice if he
had said these things make them
look younger longer.
:o:
The Holy Rosary church picnic at
Naeve's park yesterday was a grand
success. Great credit is due those who
labored to put it over, and especially
those splendid cooks who stood over
hot stoves frying chicken by the
score in order that everyone might
be supplied.
:o:
The new truck law has been made
inoperative for the present at least.
The author of the bill says he will
file suit to test its lcc-lity as a revenue-producing
measure, similar to
that held enforceable in South Da
kota. Strictly speaking, it is a railroad-truck
fight, and will go ta a
finish.
:o:-
The industrial editor from whom
we gleaned the information corrain
ed in these columns Saturday : bout
a no-shutdown policy among the
larger automobile manufacturer?, was
certainly "all wet" so far as hi in
formation about Ford was con ern
ed, as attested by the news dispa ches
of that day. The Ford plants are
closed for a month, this informant to
the contrary notwithstanding.
:o:
Potatoes are scarce this year, and
the age-old law of supply and demand
will control the price for this most
necessary commodity of the American
pantry. Conditions, however, can
alter the situation, such as turning
frdm potatoes ta wheat products, now
that prices of that commodity are at
all-time low levels. The fellow who
can't afford potatoes, can eat such
wheat products as spaghetti, maca
roni, noodles, dumplings and what
not, thereby increasing the demand
for that commodity to a point where
the wheat grower will get a little
nearer cost out of his labor.
A SERIOUS INDICTMENT
Perhaps the most shocking revela
tion that has been made public for
many years if that part of the volumi
nous report of the Wickersham Com
mission on Crime and Punishment
which, generally speaking, "covers
everything and touches nothing" of
the way in which child offenders un
der Federal laws are misused, neg
lected, even tortured in various state
penal institutions to which they have
been sent by the Federal courts.
The Federal government maintains
prisons for adult offenders, but has to
turn children who are convicted of
violating Uncle Sam's laws over to
state and county institutions. Investi
gators report that in some of these
prisons they are placed in damp, un
sanitary, dark cells, in others mixed
with hardened adult criminals, in
others mixed with hardened adult
criminals, in others practically starv
ed, and in others beaten and other
wise mistreated for the slightest in
fraction of discipline.
If anything can turn a boy or girl
of 15 or so into an habitual criminal,
it is prison treatment such as that.
These children have done nothing
to merit any such treatment. It is
only occasionally, to be sure, that a
minor comes under the ban of the
Federal laws. These young prisoners
have been found guilty of running a
stolen automobile across a state line,
which is one of the most recent
crimes under Federal laws, or of act
ing as messenger for drug peddlers,
again crossing a state line, or of
other inter-state acts which, while
serious enough, do not call for such
brutal and heartless treatment as
these youngsters get.
If the United States government
must send children to jail, then let
the Federal authorities establish their
own prison for minors and see that
they are humanely treated.
: o :
MAKING CRIME ATTRACTIVE
Capone is granted the "privilege'
of withdrawing his guilty plea.
How about our Murdock bank rob
bers up at Lincoln doing time? To
permit this "big shot" of racketeer
ing to bargain with the government
over what kind of punishment he is
to receive and withdraw his plea of
guilty when the exigencies of the case
point to that alternative, would not
result in any more cheapening of
authority than to bring back those
bank bandits and permit them to
withdraw their guilty pleas because
they "thought" they got too stiff a
fine for the penalty involved.
We have previously remarked that
we believed no punishment of con
sequence would ever be meted out to
Al Capone, and that if he is sent to
prison, he will enjoy such liberties as
to virtually enable him to direct the
operations of his nefarious bootleg
ging ring from behind prison walls.
Little wonder, is it, that youth looks
upon this game as the most prom
ising method of existence in our
present depression age.
We stand on our assertion, that we
don't believe Al Capone will ever be
called to equitable accountability for
his swindling of the government on
income tax and the five thousand or
more infractions of the prohibition
laws that he has violated with such
impunity and apparent attitude of
being "protected."
In the meantime, our parting ad
vice to the youth who sees opportun
ity in the "racket," is that we can't
all be Capone? and it might be just
his luck to be one who has to suffer
the penalty, instead of having all his
misdeeds smiled upon by those in high
authority.
:o:-
The co-ordination between Gover
nor Bryan and State Highway Engi
neer Cochran shows what can be done
by the ommission of politics from
public works of all kinds. Cochran,
a democrat, who has served under
republican governors, was continued
in office by Bryan, much to the dis
appointment of believers in the old
rule that "To the victor belongs the
spoils." And the two of them work
ing together have mapped out an ex
tensive road program for the bi-enni-um,
all possible of which is being
done this year. The only kickers are
the disgruntled few who can't make
an impression to the end of getting
their pet paving projects approv
ed by either of these two men, who
are relied upon by the citizens of Ne
braska to do only what they consid
er best for the greatest number.
Instead of "facing the facts," the
tendency in modern political disagree
ments is to drag in some ulterior
issue and thus becloud matters. In
Omaha the battle of 10c street car
fares or relief from the burden of an
occupation tax and paving between
the rails by the tram company, has
switched to one of reduced salaries
among city employees. Other cities
can attest to similar beclouding issues
to draw attention from the main point
of controversy.
NIGHT MOTORING HAZARDS
Among the many habards of night
time travel on the highways of thi
state, as well as every other section
of the country, is the "one-eyed" auto
bile. Another is the car with lights
of unequal power. Still another is
the unlighted tail-lamp.
Proper attention to lights is one
of the first thoughts of the motorist,
who has consideration for his own
safety and that of his fellow-motorists
abroad after sunset. The accident
insurance companies probably have
the figures which show how many
accidents are due to neglect of this
essential detail. Without doubt a
large proportion of the casualties
that occur after nightfall on the
highway are traceabb- to one or other
of the three types of neglect noted
above.
Those accidents are avoidable and
inexcusable. Nevertheless, every mo
torist traversing any of the main
highways leading out of Plattsmouth,
or the roads anywhere in the state,
for that matter, observes incidents
every night indicating widespread
carelessness in respect to one or the
other of these three violations of the
first principles of night-time driv
ing. Of the three classes of offenders,
the driver of the car with only one
headlight is the most common, and
is perhaps responsible for more smash
ups and casualties than all other
cases combined.
A small bulb for your headlight
costs only a few cents. Before start
ing on a night drive the motorist
should first carefully inspect his car
lights to see if they are working
properly, both front and rear. By do
ing so he may avoid a long and pain
ful stay in the hospital.
:o:
THE NEW CENSORSHIP
We refuse to get excited over the
latest presidential press censorship.
It is just one of those cases in which
a man in authority, under the pres
sure of feeling, loses his head for a
moment and does a silly thing.
Such a censorship could be serious
only if it were effective. It will not
be. American newspapers will not let
the president or any one else dictate
what they shall print and what they
shall not print. A free press is not
only guaranteed by the constitution;
it is demanded by the American peo
ple. To be sure, editors and reporters
are human. A few of them will be
intimidated by the censorship edict
from the White House; but those few
are apt to be the same ones who have
always printed more or less what the
White House desired, anyway.
The effect on most editors and
White House reporters will be to
make them even more determined to
carry out their public trust of get
ting all the legitimate news and
printing it without fear or favor.
And speaking of printing the news,
we are rather ashamed to print this
but here it is:
"The president's secretary stated
Thursday that, as a result of a ser
ies of 'leaks.' only such news as is
given out through 'stated channels'
of the executive offices should be
printed by the newspapers of the
country."
Oh, yeah?
Well, Herbert, the newspapers of
the country have always used their
own judgment as to what shall and
what shall not be printed. It is a
tolerably safe bet that they will keep
right on doing so.
:o:
JUST A SUGGESTION
With thousands of new policyhold
ers enrolled on their books, the auto
mobile insurance" companies may not
be immune to a suggestion coming
from the motorists themselves.
It's simply this: Keep a record of
the accidents of their policy-holders;
and a year from now, when the time
conies to renew, place a penalty on
the one who has had an accident, not
unduely severe, but enough to make
him sit up and take notice. Our sug
gestion would be an increased rate,
gauged according to the record. On
the other hand, the fellow who has
demonstrated his carefulness and gone
through the year without accident
involving payment of damages should
be given the benefit by a decrease in
his rate. Thus the burden of insur
ance would be equalized between the
two classes of drivers, each paying his
right share of the cost of "protec
tion" for the ensuing year.
Mind you, we said, this is only a
suggestion, but be believe a workable
one! What do you think?
:o:
All except eleven units of the Ford
factory have been shut down, accord
ing to announcement from Detroit.
Another interesting item in the day's
press dispatches concerns an inter
view in the New York Times a week
ago, in which Mr. Ford said the cure
for the present depression was work.

THE HORSE COMES BACK
The day of the horses as motive
power on the farm is far from being
over. Recently we told of the gen
eral replacing of tractors by horses
in northeastern Nebraska, and the
same condition exists over the middle
west, as shown by some recent fig
ures compiled by Minnesota agricul
tural authorities. A great many
kinds of farm work, which used to
be done by horses but lately have
been done by motors, can now be done
cheaper by again using the horse as
motive power. Oats and hay are sell
ing for the lowest prices in yeas.
Even though gasoline is down, there
are a great many farmers who are
finding it now more economical to
use horses.
Another phase of the question
race horses and riding horses are
more expensive than ever before. The
United States army is finding it diffi
cult to get enough high-grade horses,
part thoroughbred, for cavalry re
mounts. Numerous sales of saddle
horses, or so-called steeplechase or
hunter-type, have been made in the
east at prices ranging above $3,000
api' ee. Horses of a similar type and
quality were easily purchasable for
$500 or $600 until a few years ago.
There is still money in the horse.
There is money for the breeder of
thoroughbreds and saddle stock, and
there is profit for the farmer who
can utilize horses instead of motors.
Probably there never will be a time
when the small farmer will not use
horses, especially in rough or hilly
country. A farm without horses may
look all right to the youngsters, but
older people feel that it is not a real
farm. There is nothing about a
tractor to get sentimental about. A
horse has individuality and character,
arid often becomes one of the fam
ily. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subjec t of the Lesson-Sermon
read at all Christian Science church
es and societies on Sunday, August 2.
was "Love." The special object of
this lesson is to show the everlast
ing infinite nature of God as Love,
which understanding allays fear on
the part of those laboring under
the delusion that God punishes His
children. Instead of turning away
from God through fear, the lesson
snows that all should turn trusting
lv to God. One of the citations read
from the Bible is as follows: "No
man hath seen God at any time. If
we love one another, God dwelleth in
us. and his love is perfected in us.
. . And we have known and be
lieved the love that God hath to us.
God is love; and he that dwelleth in
love dwelleth in God, and God in
him." (I John 4:12,16). One of the
citations read from "Science and
Hea'th with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 518), is as
follows: "God gies the lesser idea
of Himself for a link to the greater,
and in return, the higher always
protects the lower. The rich in spirit
help the poor in one grand brother
hood, all having the same Principle,
or Father; and blessed is that man
who ssth his brother's need and sup
plieth it, seeking his own in an
other's good."
SUNDAY AT C. M. T. C.
Sunday morning was no exception
to the usual busy day for the C. M.
T. C. students. Promptly at 8:30 the
companies were formed and marched
to the church services arranged for
them, led by the 17th infantry band.
It was quite an inspiring sight to
witness some 500 or more of these
lads marching to the tune of "On
ward Christian Soldiers" and "Come
All Ye Faithful."
Protestant services were held in
the Post Gymnasium with Chaplain
Harkins presiding, a-ssisted by Rev.
Chaplain Cleveland. The 17th infan
try band led the rendition of hymns
and the North Presbyterian quar
tette furnished two beautiful an
thems, with congregational singing.
Catholic services were held at the
Service Club rooms with Father
O'Leary presiding, assisted by Fatter
McFadden, Fr. McCarthy, pastor of
the Ft. Crook mission being absent.
Two Sisters of Mercy of St. Marys,
Omaha, were in attendance, as well
as a fine congregation of the studtnt
soldiers and several civilians. Five
children received their first commun
ion at this service.
AEJIESTED AT NEBRASKA CITY
Richard Ho'.lenbeck. 21. of Elm
wood. Neb., was arrested at the
Montgomery Ward Company store at
Nebraska City Saturday evening, af
ter he bad attempted to cash a check,
allegedly forged on a Mr. A. Herman,
and drawn on the Citizens State
Bank of Peru.
Calling at the store, Hollenbeck
purchased a quantity of goods and
tendered the check for $56 in pay
ment. He was told to come back in
half an hour and that the goods
would be ready for him at that time.
While he was gone, the store call
ed Sheriff Carl Ryder, of Otoe county,
who investigated, and then waited
for the youth at the store. When he
came back he was arrested on a forg
ery charge.
Taken to the county jail, young
Holenbeck at first maintained his in
nocence, and protested that he had
the money in the Peru bank under
that name, Later, when questioned
closely, he admitted. Sheriff Ryder
aid. that he had forged the check
because of "hard times."
The youth was being held at the
county jail to await arraignment
next. His parents, he said, lived on a
.'arm near Elm wood.
REJOICE EN NEW BOOK
The residents of Elmwood, who
have a great pride in their most dis
tinguished resident. Mr. Hess Stree
ter Aldrich. noted authoress, are
finding additional pride in the new
book that Mrs. Aldrich is releasing
today for sale. "A White Bird Fly
ing," which carries on the story of
the Deal family as related in "A
Lantern in Her Hand." was publish
ed today. Mrs. Aldrich was not at
home to receive the congratulations
Of her fellow-townsmen. She is with
her three son on a vacation at Cass
Lake. Minn. Her daughter is here.
The official view of the town to
ward The novel will be expressed
early this fall. Mrs. William Mc
Lennan has been entrusted with the
task of reviewing it for the woman's
club.
CARRIED AT COURT HOUSE
The marriage market at the court
house had a sudden spurt Monday
afternoon when Judge A. H. Duxbury
was called upon to unite in the bonds
of wedlock two couple comprising
Cass county residents.
Mis. Doris Chandler of Elmwood
and Guy McGill of Weeping Water
were the first to seek the services
of the court in the joining of their
lives and hearts and after the cere
mony the newly weds returned to
their homes to receive the congratu
lation? and well wishes of the
friends.
The second couple to be wedded
were Miss Eileen E. Griffith of
Greenwood and Jesse V. Robinson
o: Ashland, they being accompanied
here by Miss Neva Jane Robinson,
sister of the groom and Dale E.
Buckingham, both of Ashland.
Recent statistics on the relative
number buying for cash and on credit
in these times compared with a few
years ago, shows the ratio about the
same. In other words just as many
people, comparative with gross sales,
are buying on credit now as before
both classes of buying being hit in
like manner by the depression.
