The power to actileve, to surmount

IRRITANTS
By voluntarily suspending the pro
ject for an Austro-German customs
union before the World Court had ,
pronounced judgment upon Its legal
ity, the respective governments of
the two countries have removed the
chief immediate source of irritation
between France and Germany. That
is an important achievement and,
taken together with the failure of
the Fascist-Communist referendum
in Prussia, should make the impend
ing visit of Premier Laval and For
eign Minister Briand to Berlin at
once more pleasant and more p ont
able. Indeed, although the French
men had accepted the formal invi
tation of the German govern lent,
.here was some question as to v. eth
er they would think it woiih ..hile
to go, at least before the refere. dum
and the customs union were out of
i he way.
At the same time other sourc s of
irritation remain. Germany ha i not
halted her "pocket battleship" pro
gram and although it is well within
the terms of the Versailles treaty,
it has aroused anxiety in Prance,
where a possible combination of the
German and Italian fleets is always
kept in mind. Then there is the
persistent campaign for a revision
of the peace treaties, backed by the
Hitlerites and the warriors of the
"Steel Helmet" society, which is aim
ed particularly at France's allies.
M. Palnleve, former French prem
ier, recently said that Germany could
h
rdly expect French help so long :
as she was shaking her fist in the i
fact of France. Recent events have
proved French help indispensable.
Presumably the Bruening govern
ment will go as far as it can in re
moving these irritants.
FREE SPEECH IS NEEDED
A young man who had been out
of work nine months achieved the
door at the public hearing on relief
last Wednesday night. He proceeded
to make some pertinent if not bitter
remarks about thi way the city va"
meeting the emergence He was in
terrupted by Chairman Israel Jacobs
with the question. "Are you a prop
erty owner?" When he answered,
"No," Chairman Jacobs shut him up.
We have made a search of the
charter and the statutes, to say noth
ing of the state and federal consti
tutions. We tan find nothing to sus
tain Mr. Jacobs in his rule?. It is true
that that rule did not survive even
tlie meeting at which it was horn; a
few minutes later another citizen
ashed Mr. Jacobs if property qualifi
cation to be heard at public meetings
had been set up and Mr. Jacobs an
swered, "No." The truth remains
.hat he silenced the young man when
the young man pleaded guilty to be
ing propertylesa. He explained later
(hat Ite wanted to give the floor to
property owners who would bear the
hi tint of the tax; but such a discrim
ination is not legal, nor did any prop
erty owner dispute the young man's
light to speak.
Mr. Jacobs fell into an error like
ly to spiead this winter. It is the
error of short-sighted public officers
who take panic at the first sign of
public bitterness. It is the error made
by scared policemen when they bat
ter picketers over the head. It is the
error made by scared police chiefs
when they deny red groups the right
to public rallies. It is all part of a
vast and always seductive fallacy
that the way to meet resentment is
to stifle it. There is nothing more
erroneous in the whole range of psy
chological error.
Mr. Jacobs and those of his views
are likely to find before the winter
is out that the way to relieve pres
sure is not to tense n it. The way to
relieve it is to relieve it. The way to
relnx social resentment is to bear
with its expression. Over and above
the theoretical and spiritual support
of free speech there is the practical
consideration that it cannot safely be
denied in times of stress. If there is
one thing likely to annoy a man more
khan privation it is official refusal
to let him protest his privation. It
is bad enough to suffer; it is intoler
able to suffer gagged. New Haven

ANOTHER NEW WORLD
A week or so ago the New Re
public pointed out that the farewell
remarks of Boris Pilnyak. young
Russian novelist, concluding his tour
fo America, had a familiar ring, but
that at the same time there seemed
to be something startling about tiem.
The import of Pilnyak's good-by
comments was that America was,
with its New York and its Holly
wood, an impressive place. A place
cf great mucin. . culture, memor
able architecture . in New York, that
is i and many desirable refinements
in the mechanical amenities. But lie
would he rather glad 10 get back to
Russia. America, after all, delight
ful as it was for a visit, was a t title
effete, was it not? One could not find
here the same evidences of. res. less
storming, creative energy, the
ime
(lawny promise - i his own rugged,
crude country, pioneering away and
knocking together a new civilization.
Familiar, indeed. It is the Ameri
can's goou-y tti Europe. A wishful
good-by. tempered, nevertheless, ..ai
some relief at ud tnought of return
ing to a place where vital will and
energy somehow more than compen
sate for the loss of les anciens para
pets and related things.
Only here was a Russian treat
ing us as if we were alrea.ly another
old world, an empire that had achiev
ed much which his own youthful
struggling nation aspired to, but let
him down with an enervating air of
weary softness. Undoubtedly the
irony was implicit in Pilnyak's quite
sincere and straightforward words.
And one is bound to recall it now on
leading that before 1D?.1 is out six
thousand American workers wiil have
migrated to the U. S. S. R. at their
own expense, and that more than
100 thousand applications for jobs in
Russia will have been filed with the
Amtorg Trading corporation. Many
of these applications come naturally
enough from men out of work, who
simply seek employment. But it is
also true that Russia, irrespective of
the political and economic doctrines
of its government, has become in 14
years a new country. Baltimore
Sun.
:o:
The Interstate Commerce Commis
sion frankly admits that the trans-
portation lines of the nation are in
urgent need of aid to keep them out
of receiverships, but they don't know
who should be asked to provide it.
Thus another governing body com
posed of super-statesmen ami expert
economists fails to function.
HEN WITHOUT FEAR
Down in Panama City a news
paper reporter bluffed the Mayor of
the community to a fairly frazzle.
The Mayor, prompted by a circus
press agent, offered a reward of $100
to any person who would enter a
lion's cage and com.- out alive.
Juan Ortiz, a reporter who evi
dently needed the money, promptly
volunteered. When a reporter needs
money well, a reporter needs mon
ey, and needs it badly.
The Mayor, and likewise the cir
cus press agent, commenced to welch
on the offer.
"That lion ain't been fed for three
days." said the press agent.
The Mayor nodded his head in cor
dial approval. Probably he loved that
particular reporter because of some
kind tilings that the reporter may
have written about him.
"It doesn't make ; damned bit of
iifference to me," said Ortiz. "I'm
going In, whether he is hungry or not
hungry."
He went in. The lion cowed in his
corner. Probably he sized up that
reporter and decided he would be a
tOUgh piece of mea:. Anyhow, Ortiz
strutted around the cage, walked out,
and collected his $100. What he did
with it, how he spent it, is nobody's
business save his own.
His brethren of the Fourth Estate
will cherish the fond hope that he
had a good time spending it.
The moral is this:
Lions, tigers, leopards, the fiercest
beasts of the jungl yea. even the
kings of gangsters, racketeers, and
hi-jackeis mean nothing in the life
of a first-class newspaper reporter.
They face perils of that sort every
day of their lives and remain calm
and unafraid.
What's a hungry iion, unfed for
three days, to a reporter who follows
B piactical politician on the stump
and faithfully records his fulmina
tions? Why should a reporter fear even
a Royal Bengal tiger when he is ac
customed to writing interviews with
financiers in a form that will make
their bromidic utterances sound in
telligent? Why should a veracious chronicler
of daily events feel the slightest
semblance of fear of God or man.
and all the wild beasts of the jungle,
after he has failed to describe the
season's debutante as beautiful and
charming?
Some of these days even the poli
tical dumb-bells will wake up to a
realisation of the fact that a well
trained reporter is a man without
tear, and walks the highways of the
world nncowed and unafraid.

C0NCERNING MONEY
Never in all the world's history
was money more uppermost in the
public mind than at this moment.
Money has ever been an important
subject, ever to the forefront, but
rarely like the present.
"Ail complain of the want of sil
ver; none of the want of sense," saith
a S. andinavian proverb.
And yet money isu t so difficult to
get after all. Shylock. who was a
much better man than Shakespear
ian actors have interpreted him.
merely demanded fulfillment of a
bend to the letter. Shylock gave his
recipe fhusly:
"i make money bread fast; thrift
is a blessing if men steal not."
Pithy, pointed, and choc kful of
wisdom.
The truth is that money either
commands or obeys us, and it has
ruined more men than it has benefit
ed. St. Augustine. When tempted with
a fortune, exclaimed in disgust:
"Begone money! I will drown you
that I be not drowned by you."
In Eci lesiast ieus we are told that
"gold hath been the ruin of many,"
and throughout the Bible you will
find money getting some hard bumps,
notably the tough, job of a ric h man
getting into the kingdom of Heaven
and Judas selling his Saviour for
thirty pieces of silver.
Adam Smith, author of "The
Wealth of Nations," one of the
greatest economists who ever lived,
pave this assurance:
"Money makes money. When you
have got a little, it is easy to get
more."
But he then sagely added:
"The difficulty Is to get that lit
tle." Perhaps the safest rule is to save
your first million dollars, and the
rest will be easy.
Never before did the world have
so much money, and the people so
little of it. The hanks are bulging
with gold and silver bullion, while
millions are in want. And yet this
distressing condition is not without
precedent. It has happened in history
many times before. Even old Seneca,
who was quite a philosopher in his
day and time, said :
"In divitisa tnopes, quod genus
est.
which
translated means:
"Wanting money in the midst of
wealth, which kind of want is the
most grievous of all."
One might write for a month on
this subject and never touch the
outer edges of it.
Reduced to one simple sentence,
we all are after money, so it is
money after all.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
read at ail Christian Science churches
and societies on Sunday. September 6,
was "Man." Several of the citations
read were intended to show what is
meant by man In God's image and
likeness as distinguished from the
physical concept called man. which
mortals mistakenly have tried to con
nect up with the spiritual children
of God. Other citations show the
healing effects following the gaining
of the true idea of God and man. One
of the selections read from the Bible
is as follows: "For as many as are
led by the Spirit of God, they are
the sons of God. . . . The Spirit it
self bearetb witness with our Spirit,
that we are the children of God."
(Romans 8:14-16). A part of one
selection read from "Science and
11 altb with Key to the Scriptures"
by Mary Baker Eddy (p. 475), to
convey an understandable concept of
spiritual man, is as follows: "That
which has no separate mind from
Qod; that which has not a single
quality underived from deity; that
which has not a single quality un
derived from deity; that which pos
sesses no life, intelligence, nor crea
tive power of his own. but reflects
spiritually all that belongs to his
Maker."
JOLLY CKEFFS

Early History
of Plattsmouth
is Recounted
Continued from Page One
Iation of the Territory fighting sav
agely for the seat of government. But
he stood his ground though bribery
and corruption were openly and
vociferously (barged. At a meeting
of citizens held at Bellevue Mission
House December 9. 1854. the Acting
Governor stated that he had made
up his mind two weeks before to
locate the temporary capitol at Om
asa City but that on account of
improper attempts to influence him,
he had changed his mind and was
in doubt at that moment as to where
to make the location. But he made
it clear to the Bellevue people that
if they would elect members to the
legislature who would support his
policies., he would see to it that Belle
vue was located in a separate legis
lative district otherwise it would be
included in the district wtih Omaha.
This seemed to be the spark that
brought the anger of Bellevue to
white heat. As much as they believed
they deserved the capitol and a sepa
iate legislative district, they cher
ished their liberty more. A Belle
vue spokesman, A. W. Hollister,
charged that he nad seen a letter
signed by Cuming and written to a
Mr. Gray, revealing a plan to locate
the capitol at Omaha with city lots
as an important consideration. Cum
ing branded the letter as a forgery
and left the meeting in a rage.
Whether the letter was authentic or
not, the full text is printed in the
Palladium for December 13, 1854
and is dated November 25, 1854. As
for bargaining with the Bellevue
constitutency, the sentiment of the
meeting was distinctly anti-Cuming
showing a desire to rather be swal
lowed up by Omaha than pledge
away the liberty of its elected repre
sentatives. But Cuming was not without his
defenders. The Council Bluffs West
ern Bugle claimed that Bellevue had
no improvements or buildings yet
its owners were constantly claiming
all the advantage, leaving nothing
to Omaha. They argued that before
( uming arrived in the Territory, he
had determined to make Omaha the
. apitol and at the death of Gov. Burt,
he had not changed his mind. Con
sequently he could not have been in
fluenced by unworthy motives in se
lecting Omaha. The active effort on
the part of Bellevue and sou'h Platte
citizens to secure the removal of
Cuming was branded as malicious
and dishonest.
Despite all opposition, Gov. Cum
ing possessed one power which could
not be denied and that was his legal
right to hold a census and call a
meeting of the territorial legislature
at any place he desired. According
ly on October 21, 1854, he issued a
proclamation calling for a census
to be taken starting October 24th
which was to be used as a basis for
the apportionment of a House and
Council, with Omaha as the meeting
place. The election of representatives
was to be held December 17, 1854.
The calling of the election looking
toward a legislative session in Janu
ary of the new year, transferred the
capitol question from a quarrel be
tween the people and the Governor
and carried it to the floor of the leg
islature and it is here that the
Plattsmouth and Cass county dele
gation composed of J. M. Latham,
William Kempton and J. D. Thomp
son in the House and Lafayette
Nuckolls in the Council, played a
prominent, if not a notorious part.
With the appointment of the leg
islature, there appeared two new
angles to the control ?rsy. The first
was the division of the eight coun
ties into two camps, four north of
the Platte and four south of the
Platte. Each group united together
with the determination to bring the

capitol to its respective section. The
other was the additional quarrel a.-)
to whether the Governor's appor
tionment of the representatives was
honest. This feature deeply embit
tered the sectional feeling for the
south Platte couuties claimed that
they had been robbed of their right
ful representation in the legislature
since they had the largest popula
tion. The census was taken and the two
houses apportioned as follows:
County Council House
Burt 2
Washington 1 2
Dodge 1 2
Douglas 4 8
Cass 1 3
Pierce 3 5
Forney 1 2
Richardson 1 24
Total - 13 26
It will be noted that the first four
counties listed. Burt. Washington,
Dodge and Douglas were north
Platte counties and were given seven
votes in the Council as against six
tor the south Platte counties. In the
House, the north Platte section was
given fourteen votes agaisnt twelve
for the south Platte section. This
tact is very important in consider
ation of the fact that the votes on
location of the capitol were strictly
sectional until by bribery or other
wise, the Cass county delegation
capitulated to vote for Omaha.
